said c, Il. Wild. of St Gall. Switzer-
land, at Hotel Chisca Monday.
Touring America for personal pleas
ure and in the Memphis territory TO look
over the. cotton crops and report for
his firm in the old country, was given
as Mr.. WilSs mission. He has been
over greater part of the United
States and is impressed by the new
ness of everything.
I'VE look to America as a great place,
just now we are dependent on you for
flour and coal. The business methods
here and the systems for merhcandis-

study" said Mr.. Wild. He sees the
country as a fiat section, but is en-
thusiastic over its beauties. Some of
natures wonders are admitted to ex-
eel those found in his country, but the
visitor is loyal to the beauty of his

He will spend several days in this

F|REMEN TO MEET
ELLIS IN FINAL
EFFORT TFORPEACE

Members of the grievance commit
tee, representing the Memphis Fire
Fighters union, will meet Tuesday at
noon with President r. r. Ellis OF
Chamber of Commerce, in an endeayor
to bring about settleemnt Of the
question Of increased pay for firemen.
Just what steps will be taken are prob
lematical, as Mr.. Ellis Monday refused
to discuss the situation. Members OF
the firemen's grievance committee,
howev@, say that unless. they are CIV
en- assurance that aid will be forth
coming something will happen"
John T. Smiddy, of the committee
Monday said that Mr.. Ellis requested
80 days delay of the threatened whole
sale resignation of firemen, originally
scheduled May "a, that the 30 days was
granted and that nothing had been
pired and that members of the union
were now strong in their demands that
something be done Immediately.
The grievance committee" declared
Smiddy, has done everything possible
to avert trouble. We discussed this
thing with Mr.. Ellis. It is absolutely
impossible for us to keep the men from
resigning when they have positions
which will pay them greatly in advance
of what they now are getting"
Smiddy further stated that the COM
mittee would report back to the union
after conference with Mr.. Ellis Tues
day. He mentioned that it was pos
sible for Mr.. Ellis to bring about en-
ceavor to have request for city charter
change to be made by Gov Roberts

the firemen had made every effort to
be fair in the matter and that no gem
eral walkOut or strike would come, but
that designations seemed imminent.

ings on Mondays. The first shift met
early Monday morning and the second
was to meet late Monday afternoon.

Some pressure was brought to bear
to have the governor issue a call for
the legislature to assemble at once for
the sole and exclusive consideration OF
the suffrage amendment
The national Democratic committee
sent a message urging him to make the
call. The president sent a message a
few days ago to the same effect, follow
ing the supreme court decision in the
Ohio case, which held that it was not
necessary for the people to instruct the
legislature on the question.
Gov. Roberts answered the president
that he intended to call the legisla-
ture in August at which time tax ques-
tions and other matters would be con-
sidered and called attention to the fact
that ratification that time would be
that ratification at that time would be
in the November election. The presi =
dent answered thatthe governors state
ment was entirely satisfactory. 1t is
this plan that the governor will carry
out.
The suffragists are not anxious for
the legislature to be assembled imme-
diately for the sole consideration Of
the suffrage amendment, They realize
that they had hard fight getting the
sion, and feel that the time between
now and Aug. will enable them to
get their force together for a battle
royal, and with better prospect for sue
cess than If the legislature should be
assembled Immediately.
Consultation with the farmers who
are members of the legislature and
others developed that it might be diff
ficult to secure a quorum at this time.
By Aug. 9 the people will have an
opportunity for respite from work,
which they can not neglect now.
The governor has not decided what
measures he will include in the call.
The tax rate will be ready by that
time and It will be necessary for the
legislature to ratify it, The rate will
probably be rs cents
