SPECIAL SESSION OF
CHAMBER COMMERCE
Merchants Called to Meet Fri
day to Talk Closing
CAMPAIGN FOR TRADE
Subject of Trade Extension
Campaign May Come Up

The merchants of Fitzgerald have
been called into special sessions at
the Chamber of Commerce rooms at
8 o'clock Friday evening it was stat
ed this afternoon by w, A. Adams,
secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce.
The purpose of the meeting is to
discuss the proposed Thurday after
noon closing and to see whether the
merchants will stand behind the
Chamber of Commerce in its move
for weekly half holiday during the
warm months.
A trade extension campaign in
which the merchants of Fitzgerald
would unite in powerful effort to
draw trade into Fitzgerald from a
radius much larger than at present
will be preached, according to Mr.
Adams
There is no reason in the world
declared Mr. Adams, why Fitzger-
aid should not draw trade from a
radius Of fifty miles around Fitzger-
aid. Automobiles and good roads
have absolutely put all of South
Georgia at the doors of, Fitzgerald
merchants. We need more trade and
the way to get it is to after it in an
organized and cooperative way"
All merchants of the city, whether
members of the Chamber of Com
merce or not, are urged to attend the
special meeting to express themselves
on the Thursday closing proposal
and on the project of cooperative
trade extension campaign.

SlBLEY REVERSED BY u. :. LABOR BOARD:
BUGG REQUESTED TO CONFER With MEN
SPLENDID WEATHER
TO GREET ECLIPSE
OF MOON TONIGHT

ATLANTA, April 21.-Fine wea-
Their will greet the next total eclipse
of the moon in Fitzgerald, C. F Won
Herman, forecaster, vouches for the
weather, but disclaims any connec-
ton whatever with the predicted an
tics of the moon
The frost having arrived, per sched-
ule, and having disappeared, per Gus
tom, the elements seem satisfied to
settle themselves for several fine,
clear days, says Mr.. Won Herman.
The temperature will continue to rise
at it did Tuesday, in confederation of
the forecaster's claims.
The whole United States will see
the total eclipse of the moon April
Zl-22, which is the numerical way of
saying Thursday-Friday. According
to one rather technical authority, here
is what Fitzgerald may expect:
The total lunar eclipse of April
2l-22 will be visible throughout the
United States. The moon is north
of the center of the earth's. shadow,
but, nevertheless, near enough to it
to become completely immersed. At
l1:57 p. m. on the 21st, the moon
first touches the penumbra, but it
will not be till well after midnight
that the darkening becomes con-
spicious At 1908 a. m. the edge of
the true shadow is reached, and more
and more of the moon will be hidden
until at 2:23, it is completely OBJ
scured ercept for thS faint reddish
light refracted~tfrough the earth's
atmosphere. Totally lasts only AZ
minutes, and the moon is entirely
clear of the shadow at 4:26, though
it does not leave the penumbra until
5:22. The bright star Spica will be
within 10 degrees of the eclipsed
moon, making very pretty specta-
Gle for anyone who gets to see it."

MINE OPERATORS
PLAN CONCESSION
English Magnates May Revise
Proposed Wage Reductions
OPEN SOUP KITCHENS
Distress Becomes Acute AS Eng
ish Coal Strike Holds

LONDON, April 21-Although no
steps have yet been taken by either
side in the miners strike for the
resumption of negotiations; t h e
owners are displaying unusual &C
tivity and it is reported they are dis
cussing the possibility of an upward
revision of their wage proposals, in
view of the prime minister's declara-
ton last evening that the wage fig
ures of some of the owners were in
defensible and needed amendment.
The negotiating committee Of the
miners, after a brief meeting today,
were hurriedly summoned to the
board of trade, and it was understood
they would meet Mr.. Lloyd George
later.
A distinctly favorable atmosphere
regarding settlement of the con-
flict has developed as the result of
an address made yesterday before
the house of commons by Mr.. Lloyd
George. The prime minister declined
to alter his position in opposing a
national pool of profits, but he like
wise stood firm against attacking the
rights of the unions.
May Set Up Kitchens
Food kitchens may be established
in the congested districts of England
to relieve the acute distress brought
about by the fuel and food famine,
which is daily growing more serious.
he cabinet has under consideration
system of hot-food depots to be
established by the government wher-
ever the necessity is apparent.
Board of trade officials declared to
the United News that the fuel stu
alton is the most critical in the his
tory of the nation Additional re-
strictions on the use of coal are i'm
perative, and probably will go into eff
feet within the next few days
Under the most favorable condi-
tons, the miners will not return to
the pits before ten days, unless the
strike suffer an immediate collapse,
which is not viewed as probable
Even after the men decide to re-
turn to work, the resumption of pro-
duction will be long delayed Forty
four pits are flooded and temporarily
unproductive. Some of these may
not be cleared for months.
10000, o0O-Ton Shortage
On the nineteenth day of the strike,
national shortage of more than r.
OO0CG0 tons of coal exists. The gov
ernmcnt today has a supply only for
public service, light transport service
and for sanitary and medical uses.
All unessential industries are ordered
to cease operation for the time being.
