the railroad workers request for
higher pay and to refute the charge
that increased labor cost is response

Prepared by w. ]. Lauck, former
secretary of the labor board, the
study seeks to show that profiteering
in industry is the Fundamental cause

support that contention.

Following the movement started By

other big New York and Philadelphia
stores to do their part in reducing the
high cost of living, some of the Perth

off, which means much TO the person
who is trying to save n few cents un-
der the present conditions.
The finest of merchandises to be
found in the city may now be pur-
chased from ten to twenty per cent.
off the regular cash price. and this
should be one of the biggest induce
ments to the citizens of this city to
visit the stores and stock up.
Not only have the merchants de-
cided to give the twenty per cent. off
In order to lower the III. G. L., but
many special bargains are offered,
which afford the purchaser even
greater reductions and allow the saw
ing of more money to the shoppers.
The advertisements in the EVENING
NEWS today show that the mer-
chants of this city are willing In all
waye possible 10 cooperate with the
citizens or any movement started to
lower the high cost of living.

No COMPROMISE. Saws johnson


WASHINGTON, May Hiram
Johnson has served notice that no
compromise would be considered. He
announced that under no circumstan-
ces would he accept Vice Presden-
tial nomination.
THE suggestion is declined with
thanks" he said 1T is quite a com-
mentary." he added with sarcastic eia-
phasis. that the proposition comes
from those who declare | am united
10 be President"
The suggestion. so far as knowa,
was voiced by various newsptperi
which are for Knox, Wood or LowA ep
for the big job There may have beer
inspiration for the tender from sho
Penrose group in the Republican
Party, but If 1t was meant for feeler
IL hasn't been very successful.
Translated. Johnson's declina eiOn OF
the Vice Presidential nomina ticn
means that he thinks he has the upper
hand and will do the suggesting him
self. Though the old guard has d
cided that he is to be eased along,
placated with consideration, given q
voice in the platform making and
generally treated as n power in the
party. against the day when they let
him know that he is not to be the
candidate. his attitude makes il plain
that this is to be no facile process.

VICE PRESIDENCY IS NOT FOR JOHNSON
Headquarters for Edwards
Opened in New York John

JERSEY CITY. May formal
announcement OF the candidacy OK
Governor Edward /. Edwards on the
Democratic ticket for president was
made yesterday. Headquarters to
boost his campaign were opened IN
the Hotel Manhattan, New York City,
at the same time.
The Manhattan headquarters will
be in charge of Walter w. WICK, n
personal friend of Governor Ed
wards. who also assisted William +.
McCombs in supporting Woodrow
Wilson for president in 1912. Accord
ing TO an announcement made yes
terday Wick will institute vigorous
methods on behalf of Governor Ed
wards which will be continued
throughout the San Francisco con-
vention.'
Governor Edwards has been the
champion of the wet" cause and has
declared that he would take the fight
for personal liberty as opposed to the
Eighteenth Amendment to the floor or
the Democratic convention. Yester-
days announcement did not contain
reference to the prohibition issue.
Governor Edwards begins his cant
paign without any political machinery
or prestige lent to him from any
source reads the statement given
out last night by Mr.. Wick. Tho
insistent demands for his candidacy
from every section of the country
and from every class of its population
clearly indicate the purpose of the
people TO have a standard bearer or
sane American vision. sound business
judgment and sensible. forceful and
courageous political convictions.
Governor Edwards runs on his
record as Governor of New Jersey, It's
former Comptroller. and as man
of affairs IN the business and Imam
cial world of this country for the
past twenty-five years. His rise in
tho business world as self-madc
man. as well as his entire career. both
business and political. presents abun
dant proof of his sympathetic regard
for the great productive forces of the
country. His administration record
and the positions of trust which he
holds. as we'll as the vigorous intelli-
gent and fearless manner in which
he approaches the problems of today.
are ample evidence of the large cali
bre and peculiar fitness of the man
to administer the Nations business. ,

Notes of Agricultural Nature.

1. With the boil weevil being
found on young cotton of certain sec
tions of the State and the tobacco
being much retarded by the cold
weather and with the weather un-
favorable to the increase of cotton,
the sweet potato is being worked as
a new industry. But unless adequate
steps are taken to put the potato bus
mess on a sound foundation it may
prove gamble for some farmers.
2. Organization is essential to all
enterprises; therefore, the sweet po-
tatoes of the South will organize ir
Atlanta next week. South Carolina
will organize in the latter part OF
June or the early part of July. Or
ganization will be necessary in order
to properly store and market the po-
tato.
8. There are two varieties that are
very popular in South Carolina, both
being popular on the Northern mar
kets. These are the Porto Rico, which
leads, and the Nancy Hall, which is
close second. se-H
/. A. Storage houses built according
to government specifications are ne
cessary, but these are not fool proof
and require common sense man TO
attend them. 8
S. Potatoes must be graded, pref
erably in the field, and handled with
little bruising.
6. The standard tobacco barn may
be arranged to serve as storage
house as well as curing house for
tobacco by certain notifications.

Debs Advised of Nomination.

Debs Advised of Nomination.
Atlanta, Ca, May 29.-Clad in
prison denim, Eugene v. Debs accept
ed today the Socialist nomination for
president of the United States, for
merly rendered to him by a commit
tee from his party. The ceremonies
took place inside the Atlanta federal
penitentiary, where Debs is serving
a ten year sentence on conviction OF
violating the espionage act. For once'
however, prison rules were some
what relaxed, speeches were made
and moving picture men cranked
their machines and half a dozen news
paper men jotted down notes on
what was said.
There were some is persons pres
ent at the meeting. which was in a
spacious room on the ground floor,
onlv the barred windows that broke
the view of a beautiful lawn giving
sinister effect. The five members
of the notification committee, headed
by Seymour Stedman of New York;
Socialist candidate for vice president,
half dozen newspaper and camera
men and Joseph Caldwell of Rhode
Island, member of the Communist
party, who is serving term at the
penitentiary, made up the party IN
addition to the guards.
Under prison rules Debs could not
issue a statement, but he made
brief speech, in which he thanked the
party for the honor again conferred
on him, and expressed his regret that
he could do SO little personally in the
campaign. The Socialist platform,
adopted recently in New York, Debs
said, ssstates the essential principles
of Socialism" but he added that ne
wished it "could have been couched
in a form to make an appeal more ef-
fective to the working classes; that 1t
brought out stronger the appeal OF
class; that it emphasized the need OF
industrial organization"
In notifying Debs of the honor
conferred on him by his comrades,
nJNJao1 sold.
tsComrade Debs:
"We have made this journey to
formally notify you of your nomina-
tion for the presidency by the, So
cialist party, we also know that hun
dreds of thousands of working men
and women and other citizens hearth
ly approve it.
tsIn rendering you this nomination.
we do it with the knowledge of your
unfaltering loyalty to the masses and
YOUR answering devotion tc the
ideals of socialism. In the struggle
of humanity for liberation, its adj
vance couriers have often spoken
from a felon's cell. In the long roll OF
liberators, your name has been added
to this glorious list.
4.The felon of one age becomes an
emancipation in the view of posterlty.
Socrates, Christ, Bruno, Sayonarola,
Lovejoy and John Brown have trod
this path. History will record its Judg
ment of you, dear comrade, as it has
of them.

racy you spoke as they spoke. You de

right"
would also say to the commission:
"Use so much Of this money as Is
needed" Personally, am confident
that with the assistance and co-opera-
ton which would come from other
parts of the world the sum of $780,
100000 from The United States would
be more than enough to start these
countries on their way to self support
and the restoration of normal condI-
tions.
The whole plan, Of course, involves
many practical considerations, the
most serious of which is that of OBJ
tanning the money, whether by issuing
additional Liberty bonds, an increase
in the floating debt or by taxation.
But I think we could properly say to
the treasury department: S
"We know how serious your finan-
cial problems are; we know the diff
culties which are Immediately con-
fronting you; we know the Importance
of defation, and we know that the gov
ernment must economiZe and that in
dividuals must economic, but we also
know that the American government
advanced $4,000, 0,060O00 to its allies
to attain victory and peace. Certain5
ly 1t is worth making the additional
advance in order to realize the peace
for which we have already struggled,
for nothing is more certain than that
until normal conditions are restored in
Europe there can be no peace"
Above all things, I. would say that
whatever action is taken should be
taken Immediately. The crisis is so
acute that the situation does not ad-
nit of delay, except with the possibili-
ty of consequences one hardly dares
contemplate. sss.
The situation that have spread out
here is far beyond the scope Of indi-
yidual charity. Only by the action Of
governments, our own and the others
whose resources enable them to coop
crate, can aid be given in sufficient
volume. I am also confident that our
action would be followed by the gov
ernments of Great Britain, Of Holland,
of the Scandinavian countries, Of
Spain and Japan. and that France and
Belgium ind Italy, Notwithstanding all
of their losses, would help to the bea
Of their ability.
