GOVERNMENT PRINTING
COST $11,111,111 IN YEAR

Washington, Dec. 11.-If the pap
er used by the government printing
office during the year was laid flat at
a thickness of one sheet it would COW
er approximately thirty-five square
miles and if made into octave books,
piled one on the other, they would
soar 500 miles into the air, Public
Printer Carter estimates in his an
nual report filed with congress.
For printing and binding 5O,Oo0,
600 pounds Of paper were used dur
ing the fiscal year ended last June
80. Not all the paper was needed fol
printing speeches of Senators anc
Representatives in the Congressional
Record, however, as the office gets
out various government publication
congressional documents, stationery
and the like.
During the last fiscal year tota
expenditures of the printing Office
amounted to $11,111,111, compared
with approximately $13,000,000 th'
previous year.

tetniary yesterday, that he shot
Slaughter while the latter's hack
was turned.
With half of the face shot off and
a, wound in one side the bandits
body was found lying on its side.
| According to Howard's story Of the
affair he shot Slaughter while he
was reclining before the campfire
which the seven convicts had built
after they had abandoned the auto
mobile in which they escaped from
the penitentiary.
Howard said the seven men, two
whites and five negroes, kept toge-
ther and escaped posses which trail
ed them several times, and late in
the afternoon came to the secluded
spot where they camped.
Howard said that Slaughter was
slightly paler than usual but be-
trayed no sign of emotion. He oc-
casionally warned the other mem
bers Of the party that he would kill
them if they "slackened."
Howard said he watched his
chance and got the promise of Jim
Wells and Clifton Taylor, two of
the negroes, to 'frame up" on
Slaughter and the other negroes.
The plan was carried out as ar
raned. The negroes, watching their
chance, disarmed the other negroes
as they slept. Howard then shouted
and as Slaughter started to rise to
his feet shot him three times.
The negroes who were not in the
plot fled and Howard said he and
Wells and Taylor attempted unsuc-
cessfully to capture them. He then
returned to the fire, he and the ne
groes gathered all the pistols they
could find and went to the farm
house where they surrendered last
night.
Thousands crowded into the little
town of Benton to view Slaughter's
body. The crowd was so dense and
so insistent that officers placed the
body on a wagon on one of the
principal streets and permitted the
crowd ito file by in pairs.

CONDITIONS
0vER SOUTHEASTERN
BROTHERHOOD OF RAILWAY
CLERKS ENTERS PROTEST
AGAINST WORKING CoNDI-
TIONS ON SOUTHEASTERN
EXPRESS LINES IN SOUTH.

Chicago, Dec. 9.-Protest over
wages and working conditions of
express employees of the Southern
Railway were brought before the
United States railroad labor board
in hearings before the board today.
The first dispute today was
brought by the Brotherhood Of
Railway and Steamship Clerks,
Freight Handlers and Express and
Station employees over the alleged
Improper action Of the company
in establishing rates of pay lower
than those formerly in effect on
the Southern railroad when the ex-
press business was handled by the
American Railway Express COM
pany.
The Southern Express Company
began operations May 1, 1921, but
until July 1, had no agreement with
any organization. A tentative work
ing agreement was made with the
clerks organization July 1. In gen.
eral the rates of pay were on the
rates previously paid by the Ameri-
can Railway and Express company
but in some cases lower. The en-
pboyees contended that working
rules in force on the railway under
the American company should be
continued. The Southeastern Com
pany however contended that it was
not subject to rules promulgated
by the labor -.boarld prior to the
beginning Of the companys opera
tions and employees.
The second case involves the pro-
test of the employees over the six
cent an hour reduction authorized
by the board effective August l.,
1921. The other case resulted from
a disagreement over certain rules
in negotiations last July between
the company and it's employees.

LEAVES PRISON
TO MEET DEATH
DARING ESCAPE OF SLAUGHT-
Err NOT WORTH WHILE.
DARING ARKANSAS CONVICT
SUCCEEDS IN FIRST EFFORT
ONLY TO BE SLAIN LATER.

! Little Rock Dec. 9.-Tom
Slaughter, desperado, came to the
end of his long career of crime to-
night in the fastness' of the Saline
county hills. He was shot from be-
hind by one of the white men whom
he lead to Liberty from the state
penitentiary this morning.
The report of Slaughter's death
was confirmed late tonight by
Sheriff J. J. Crow of Saline county,
leader one of the many posses on
the killers trail.
Not only is Slaughter dead, but
one of the five negroes who fled the
prison with him in the spectacular
escape this morning is dying in the
hill beside the bandits body, while
the white companion, who shot him
down from behind, and the three
other negroes are i'm custody.
The man who killed Slaughter is
J. C. Howard of Garland county
who was serving a three year term
for forgery. The scene of the
shooting is Il miles northeast of
Benton in the deep woods.
Howard, according ito a state
ment he made at the Jail in Benton
late tonight, had been hiding his
time to turn upon Slaughter.
81 left with him with the inten-
ton of killing him the> first chance
l got," he is quoted as saying.
Slaughter fell with two bullets in
his head and another through the
body.
The negro, who is dying beside
Slaughter's corpse, received his
wound early this morning ait Benton
an hour after the flight from Lit
tie Rock during the battle between
four officers in the main. street of
the town and the fleeing bandits in
their automobile.
Slaughter directed a spectacular
escape in the early morning hours
from the Arkansas state prison,
which he ruled like a "czar" for
five hours.
Slaughter summoned a guard,
feigning illness, and when offered
an etra blanket to warm him in his
death cell, he covered the guard
with a gun, disarmed him, then
canvassed the prison, disarming
and jailing the guards as he met
them. Before leaving the prison
Slaughter went to the adjacent
home of the warden and aroused
. him from his bed and forced the
warden and his family ito return to
the prison, where they were also
locked in the cells.
