Secretary of State Bailey Says That
Payment from This Parish is
Very Slow

If you own an automobile, whether
it is Packard or a Ford, do not neg
lect to purchase your state tag. Sher-
iff D: NJ. Fontenot says you have to
comply with the law or else suffer the
consequences.
st. Landry, as usual, is little
lazy or slow in parting with the neces-
sary funds for the purchase of these
tags this year We all seem to wait
until the very last minute-and such
is the case each year with the state
automobile tax.
Secretary of State James J..
Bailey, in a.letter to the editor of the
Star Progress, asking for assistance
in the collection of this important tax,
stated that St. Landry was at least
seventy-five per cent lacking in this
duty to the government.
Sheriff Fontenot says he is going to
cooperate with the state secretary's
office and arrest all violators. 1t is
therefore necessary for those who
have not yet displayed the 1920 tag
on their cars to do so Immediately or
make application for same without
delay.
The auto state tax practically all
goes back to the respective parishes
from whence it is collected. This
money is used for the repair of our
dirt roads, and as St. Landry auto
owners realize the condition of our
roads could be vastly improved, they
will doubtless see the wisdom of pay
ing this tax without any further de-
lay.

Data Will Be Brought Before

Open Session at InveSti-
cation Today.

Washington, Dec. 20.--Records
In the headquarters here of the Ma
tional Coal association have been
placed under subpoena by the SEN
ate committee on reconstruction,
and will be brought before the
committee in open session to-
morrow, it was announced today
by Senator Calder of New York,
chairman of the committee.
i Agents descended upon the as
'sociation headquarters Saturday
and began an examination of the
records which lasted until last
night. They placed under subpoe-
ma a large amount of correspond
ence and other matter, Senator
Calder said, bearing on the trans
portation tie-up, and coal shortage
last summer.
j. d. A. Morrow, vice president,
and other officers of the coal as
sociation conferred today with
members of the Calder committee.
Mr.. Calder said there had been no
raid" on the association offices.
Representatives of the commit
tee, he said had called at the asso-
citation headquarters and had been
given the keys to the Offices and
the file room. and they examined
the files very thoroughly and made
copies of certain correspondence
for the committee.
The committee took the unusual
step of ordering a search made of
the association records after pre-
senting a partial report TO the SEN
ate last week declaring that prof
iteering and disorganization of the
distribution system had marked
the conduct of the coal industry
during the present year, and rec
ommending the enactment of legis-
lation for federal control.
Mr.. Morrow said that the coal
association had always held its rcc-
ords open for the assistance of the
Investigating committee and that
no objection to the search had been
considered

HotD to Make Pine
Cough Syrup at Home
Has no equal for prompt results.
Takes but a moment to prepare,
and saves you about ".

Pine is used in nearly all prescrip-
tions and remedies for coughs. The
reason is that pine contains several
elements that have remarkable
effect in soothing and healing the
membranes of the throat and chest.
Pine cough syrups are combinations
of pine and syrup. The SYRUP" part
is usually plain sugar syrup.
To make the best pine cough remedy
that money can buy, put 2h ounces
of Pinex in a pint bottle, and fill up
with homemade sugar syrup. Or
you can use clarified molasses, honey,
or corn syrup, instead OF sugar syrup.
Either way, you make full pint
more than you can buy ready made
for, three times the money. 1t is
pure, good and tastes very pleasant.
You can feel this take hold Of a
cough or cold in a wey that means
business. The cough may be dry,
hoarse and tight, or may be persist.
emily loose from the formation OF
phlegm. The cause is the same-in
famed membranes--and this Pinex
and Syrup combination will stop it
usually in "a hours or less. Splen-
did, too, for bronchial asthma, hoarse-
ness, or any ordinary throat ailment.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM
pound of genuine Norway pine ex-
tract, and is famous the world over
for its prompt effect upon coughs.
Beware of substitutes. Ask your
druggist for "2ia ounces of Pinex"
with directions, and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso-
lutte satisfaction or money refunded.

PIECE WORK To
PREVAIL IN ALL
GARMENT PLANTS
Nearly $4,000 Workers in
New York Are Affected
BY New Plan; UnicniStS
Opposed to the Change.

New York, Dec. 20.-Wage re-
ductions averaging about 80 per
cent under the union scale prevail
ing in the mems clothing industry
since November, 1919, were an
nounced today by the Clothing
Manufacturers association, which
made public its new piecework
wage schedule.
Under the piecework rates, the
announcement stated that the
workers will average approximate
ly SIS n week less than they re-
cetved during the past year.
Approximately $1,000 clothing
workers in New York are affected.
Nearly all these either are "on
strike against the proposed piece
work system or have been locked
OUT by the manufacturers.
The Amalgamated Clothing
Workers of America, representing
the union employees of the clothing
industry, and the manufacturers
association broke off relations sew
eral weeks ago. Picket lines have
been established about many shops
in the garment district here in an
effort to persuade workers against
adopting the piecework system.
Under the new piecework sys-
tenn, it was stated, the clothing
workers would be able to earn
from $22 to $50 a week.
Figures announced show that the
new rate still gives the workers in
creases ranging from SO to ~ per
cent over the scale prevailing Feb
ruary l, 1919.
The piecework rates. it was stat
ed, will be fixed for each factory
upon the basis of production of
the average experienced operators.
Return to the piecework system
under the scale announced by the
manufacturers was declared today

LEGISLATOR CANNOT
FIND PLACE TO LIVE
BECAUSE OF CHILDREN
tBy The Associated Press)

Topeka, Kans., Dec. 20.-Be-
cause of his experience in trying
to obtain a house here for himself,
wife and two children during the
legislature, Ernest Underwood,
reprepresentative from Atchisou
county, plans to introduce a bill
making it unlawful for landlords
to discriminate against tenants with
children, but failed to locate a suit
able place where families with
children are welcome.
II can't come to Topeka and
buy a house simply because I will
be here only sixty or seventy days
and will get SO day for my SER
ices" said Mr.. Underwood. Meth
er can l leave the kiddies at home"
1t seems reasonable that there
might be some penalty for dis
elimination. l doubt very much if
the fellow who has house to rent
has the moral or should have the
legal right to tell someone with ba-
bies that the family must sleep in
the street because one of the
children might kick dent in the
mopboard." Il
