NATION FACING
SERIES OF .CRISES
Every Man, Woman and Child May
Be Affected If They Ma
terialize.
OFFICIALS ARE VERY BUSY

Washington, May 18.-Not one
but number of union-wide crises
each gravely affecting every man
woman and child in the country, are
occupying the serious attention OF
the federal government.
1. There is a coast-to-coast crises
in transportation so acute that ar
embargo on non-essentials may be
declared before the week is out.
2. Aggravating the situation due
to a freight shortage, and further
menacing the country with a COM
plete transportation tie-up, comes
the hint of great strike of railway
employees, whose wage demands are
now pending. July l is the tenta-
tive date for this.
8. Officials admit that unless out
side aid is forthcoming, farmers
throughout the country will be un-
able to harvest their crops, at least
without costly if not fatal delays,
thus endangering supplies which the
nation vita;ly needs and whicn it
depends upon the farm to produce.
A. A general shortage of certain
staples is regarded as certain, owing
to worldwide demand and under
production.
The interstate commerce commits
sion, the railway labor board, the
departments of agriculture, labor and
justice, various government bureaus,
are all engaged in trying to find a
solution to these and kindred prob
lens, while the President himself is
watching the outcome with concern.
Officials of the interstate COM
merce commission today were receiv-
ing reports from its agents charged
with making a first-hand investiga-
ton of the transportation crisis, and
definite action by the commission,
Secretary McGinty said, was expect
ed by the end of the week, at which
time the food and other prime ne
cessities may be given right of way
over the roads.
While there is a serious national
car shortage, the transportation
crisis is regarded doubly difficult
owing to labor troubles. Thousands
of men have stopped work or are
out on strikes in various sections of
the country, despite the widespread
impression to the contrary, while
prior to the strike called OUTLAW"
it is estimated that about 100000
un-skilled railroad men had quit
their jobs and gone to other occupa-
tions which paid more money.

TRACTOR USERS
ENJO|N DRESDEN
Esq. A. T.. Bondurant Enjoins
Dresden From Molesting
Tractors. Answer Filed
VOLUME SO.

On Thursday of last week an in
junction was issued at the instance
or Esq. A. G. Bondurant restrain
ing Dresden from molesting his trac-
tors coming into Dresden with loads
of lumber; restraining the town Of
ficials from arresting either Mr.. Bon
durant or the drivers of his tractors
or interfering in any manner while
witnin the corporate limits of Ores
den.
The injunction prous out of an
ordinance passed by the board OF
mayor and aldermen Of Dresden on
May A which prohibits the running
of tractors carrying 'lugs" on any
of the streets of Dresden. Follow
ing the passage Of the ordinance 1t
was thought that compromise
might be effected whereby certain
streets would be designated for
tractor use, allowing the tractors to
come into town and to the depot over
these designated streets, but this
fell through and all tractor users
were prohibited using any of the
streets within the corporate limits
of the town.
Following this action Mr.. Bondu-
rant, backed by the severol tractor
dealers of the county and others IN
terested in transportation, enjoined
the town from carrying out the ordl-
nance. Judge R. E. Maiden and A.
B. Adams represent Mr.. Bondurant
and others, while City Attorney J.
w. Thomas represents the town OF
Dresden.
The town is also enjoined from
enacting any future legislation
which may prohibit the running OF
tractors on the streets of Dresden.
The fiat wos granted by County
Judge Waddell of Obion county, un-
der a special act of the last leglsla-
ture granting the county judge OF
Obion county this authority Inc
city has field an answer to the IN
junction which answer will require
five days before hearing to dissolve
may be had, the five-day period ex-
piring today Thursday and the
motion to dissolve is being heard
today at Ripley before Chancellor
Holmes.
The legality Of the ordinance is
also attacked in the injunction, 1t
being pointed out that the body OF
the ordinance is broader than the
caption. The caption merely refers
tractors, while the body of the ordl-
nance refers to both tractors and
trucks.
The outcome of this suit will be
watched with a good deal of interest,"
since this question is looming large,
and will likely result in some special
legislation by the next Tennessee
legislature dealing with the tractor
question.

PRICE-CUTTING !;
WAVE REPORTED

Washington, May 19.-Bankers of
the country, through representatives
attending a conference Tuesday
with the Federel reserve board,
pledged themselves to help the board
in drive on high prices and to aid
in efforts at debating.
Specifically, the bankers agreed
unreservedly to support the boards
new policy in discouraging "habitu-
al and unnecessary borrowing"
and to seek curtailment of "long-
standing, non-essential loans," as an
an initial step toward ending the
era of high prices and speculation.
Governor Harding set forth the
boards policy in a speech designed
tn clarity the general situation and
to explain the governments views.
He warned of impeding dangers in
the cycle of continued borrowings
and speculations land, appealed to
bankers and public alike to be con-
sentative in it's demands for bank
ing credit.
at is evident" Mr.. Harding said,
"that the country cannot continue
to advance prices and wages, to cur
tail production, to extend credits
and attempt to enrich itself by nom
productive operations and transac-
tions without foAtering discomfort
and radicalism, and that such a
course, if persisted in, will eventu-
ally bring a real crisis"
