SOUTHERN TARIFF BODY IS CHASED
 AS PURELY AFAKE
"Cat Is Out of the Bag," the Exposure Coming During
 Debate on the Emergency Tariff Bill
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Agc-Herald 500 Davidson Building

Washington, May 1S. (Special.)-- The Southern Tariff association in so far as it pretended to represent the south, as political subdivision of the United States. or to represent a de- parture on the part of the south from it's hereditary adhesion to the idea of a tariff for revenue only is fake.
 In other words the 'cat is out of the bag
 The exposure occurred in the Senate following an address by Senator Good ing of Idaho. That senator was dis cussing the emergency tariff bill, and as a fundamental principle of his argu- ment was citing the fact that the Southern Tariff association was in ex- istence. He was endeavoring to make the point that the south was in favor & a tariff, that is, the south, in the business significance of that term, and that the representatives and senators from southern states, who stood against the republican tariff policy, were not truly representative of thelr section.
 Then the following colioquy oc- cured:
 Senator Harrison of Mississippi, The senator was just discussing the congress of the Southern Tariff asso- citation. That association, had numerous representatives before the ways and means committee of the House. Did the senator read the hearings of the testimony of those representatives."
 Senator NGoodins: q did not read the hearings, but read the memorial seat by the association to tho ways and means committed"
 Senator Harrison: T am very re- liably informed by a member of that committee that every representative of the Southern Tariff association who appea red before the ways and means committee stated that he voted he republican ticket at the last election. That qualities them, I say. to be pro tect'onists. As far as my state is con- cerned, the name of which was read by the senator from Idaho, there is nc sentiment in Mississippi for pro- tect:cn, especially such as is provided in this bill.
 The senator from Idaho was very much embarrassed when Senator liar rison by very few words destroyed his argument of several hours.
 But Senator McCumber of North Dakota instantly rushed to his rescue. He recited the fact that the governors of several southern states elected by

 COAL, IS COURT DECISION
By Associated Press

Montgomery, May 1S.-In the case of the Mobile andAohi railroad vs. zim- mern Coal company the supreme court to0ay in decision ruled that a rail- road has not the right to confiscate coal that is being transported for the purpose of filling contracts already exe- cuted.
 The decision is the first of its kind ever rendered in Alabama
 The coal was confiscated by the rail- road company while it was being trans ported to Mobile in the name of the Zim- mern Coal company to fill contracts that had been made for delivery at this port.
 The railroad company contended that it seized the coal during shortage last year in order to provide for the opera ton of its trains

MOBILE TO OPPOSE CHANGE IN BARGE
 LINE ON WARRIOR

Mobile, May lS.-(Special )--The news from Washington to the effect that Sec retary of War Weeks said to favor the withdrawal of the government from the Warrior and Mississippi river transporta- ton projects, is causing much comment ia commercial and shipping circles here today, and local organizations plan to immediately get in touch with members of the Alabama delegation and request that they protest any such action.
 It was stated at the office of the Chamber of Commerce today that the orga nization would join with others in opposing this move, The continued operation of the Warrior and Missis- sippi barge lines by the government for the present was included in the declaration of principles of the Mis- sissippi Valley association at it's re- cent convention at New Orleans it was pointed out, and it is expected that vigorous fight from all states repre- serted in this organization as well as these directly touching the rivers, would be made against any such plan.

democratic votes, had declared the ex- cellence of the purposes of the South ern Tariff association. Senator Har- rison was forced to say in very polite language that the governors had signed the propaganda of the associa- ton without taking into consideration it's fullest significance and that, he knew none of them favored the emer- gency tariff bill, or any other feature of the republican. programme.
 q have known" said Senator liar rison, that as far as the governor of Mississippi is concerned, that he does not favor any such measure as Is now pending. l do not believe that he knew what the Southern Tariff association stood for when he allowed the use of his name, and other southern gover- nors, with few exceptions, are in the sameaboat.
 Among the southern governors whose names are used for conjuring purposes by the republicans in Congress are the following: Hugh M Dorsey of Geor- gia, Thomas w. Hardwick of Georgia, Thomas E. Kilby of Albama, Thomas E. Campbell of Arizona, Charles H. Brough of Arkanas, c. A. Hardee of Florida, A. c. Ritchie of Maryland, L. NJ. Russell of Mississippi, F. D. Gard ner of Missouri, T. W. Bickett of North Carolina, R. A. Cooper of South Caro- lima, A. H. Roberts of Tennessee, w. P. Hobby of Texas, and J. J. Cornwell of West Virginia.
 Senator Harrison says that when they allowed the use of their names they did not know the purposes of the Southern Tariff association. None of them, as matter of fact. have signi- fled their support of the republican ,r.if a,,a,a, VA AL point them out as modern proselytes of the republican cause and recent rejectors of the tenets of democratic faith

Mary hurried upstairs to her own room. She wanted very much to be alone. She wasn't in mood for any questioning.
 Carrington Bellairs had ordered that one of the prettiest apartments in the house should be reserved for his little secretarys use. The bedroom was daintily furnished in plhk and white. thick white carpet adorned the floor. and before a blazing log fire was stretched a white bearskin rug.
 The furniture was white. upholstered in shell-pinl1 satin.
 Japanese watere colors hung upon the walls, extraordinarily well done
 And a great bunch of pink carnations stood upon the dressing table, filling the room with fragrance
 Opening out of this apartment on one side was very dainty bathroom, every thing of white enamel.
 And on the other side of the bedroom, was tiny sitting room. equipped with writing table. a couch several com. fortable chairs and a profuson of the latest literature.
 Mary switched the light on and went over to the fire. She sat down on the bearskin rug and stared into the heart of the leaping flames
 Her fears were quite forgotten now Life seemed rose-colored, truly. She had Dick-an Interesting profession con genial work-amusements-a few friends.
 Yes. she was lucky.
 She sat there. wrapped in a happy reverie, until the booming of the dress ing gong rang out.
 Then Mary rose. She brushed her thick, curly hair out before the mirror arrayed herself in a simple little dinner gown of blacl--demure, very chic it's darkness serving to enhance her lovely, clear complexion--and descended to the hall below.
 Hello. Miss Drew!" Eve Rochester rretty pert and powdered stood at the held out two fingers to the girl. She flung a comprehensive glance at Mary,s chic toilette, Working down here, are you?"
 Mary smiled pleasantly, acknowledg- ing Eyes gretting But instinctively she felt she didn't trust the girl.
 The latter's attention seemed to be fixed some object immediately behind Mary.
 Hello there, Julian. Late as usual" Eve addressed tall figure in evening dressed that paused for a moment on the upper landing. We're waiting for you-hurryi"
 Vandaveer, giving a last tweak to his tie, descended. He looked little awl<- ward when he spied Mary.
 Didn't know you were to be here he observed laconically, touching her hand for moment in greeting. Then he turned to Eve.
 Impatient girl! The boots generally on the other foot-and you're the one who usually keeps me waiting."
 Eve caught his arm with small proprietary gesture that definitely ex- cluded the conversation and proceeded with her prize" towards the dining room.
 Darlington Bellairs, his aunt and a couple of other dinner guests were gath cred here, standing around the open fire- place. chatting.
 And then they all sat down to the

For Good of
 the Community

 the big fellow is idle the little one is also idle. The difference is that the big fel- lows overhead applies not only to the up keep of his family, food and clothing for his wife and children, but to upkeep of his mill and factory lest they fall to the ground through rust during their business siesta.
 Bigness does not spell prosperity ipso facto Bigness is beset with bigger dan gers than little things. A snowslide on a mountain side is more destructive than wind that flattens out corn field here and there, Best for the little fellows that the big things remain stable
 Aetna is perfectly harmless when not in eruption. Vineyards flank her lower reaches. Villages cluster at her feet and nature compels Aetna to belch fire and smoke and she labors in the pain of her vitals, the little folk at her base suffer quite as much as Aetna
 The aftermath of the World war will have written a new chapter in the atti- tude of the big and the little toward one another. 1t has opened the eyes of the little one to the importance of the salvage and stabilization of the big ones as has never been done before.
 The big ones were gaily ridden during the war and for time after the war. They seemed capable of unlimited beneficence in the way of wages. The less work the more pay. The more pay the smaller the degree of efficiency. It was popular to loaf on the job and smile when the big fel- l.. eo7 potency was huge joke.
 The big fellows have made no money this year Most of them have lost it. Large portion of the industrial operations < have been to keep the plants in decent condition and to preserve the working forces intact. Many plants have been go- ing simply and solely to give men en- ployment.
 Idlemine mules have plowed ground about the worker home free of charge so that he might make crop. Many cor porations have extended free use of the company houses pending unemployment. Wire fencing has been placed about the homes at company expense that the work CTS might have protected home garden.
 Meanwhile the record of the industrial corporations has been one of deficits for the first quarter of the year and an i'm pending deficit for the second quarter. They are living on hope and paying bills for overhead while varying that monot- ony by transferring to debit account the paper profits that stood on the books last fall, but must now go to the other side of the ledger.
 The Wall Street Journal says:
 As result of large deficits in the
 first quarter and prospects of ad-'
 ditional large losses in the second
 quarter, meetings of directors of cer-
 tain independent steel companies
 will be watched very closely If in
 dications point to continued losses in
 the third quarter, it is not likely that
 certain independents will feel like
 continuing present dividends on their
 respective common stocks.
 A lot of big men will not enjoy the pastime of clipping coupons and receiv- ing fat dividends this turn of the half year of 1921. Many of them will have stabbed automobiles and will be found riding in . iitnavS and street cars

Gov. Baxter Joins Fight
Against Fuel Oil Duty

It was charged in the National
House debate Monday on the Tread :
way free oil amendment to the Ways
and Means Committee bill calling for
an import duty of % cents a barrel
on fuel oil from Mexico, that the
fight against the duty was led by
New England. That charge may CT
may not be true. but. it is fact That
several Of New England's Governors
became active in the fight.
Governor Baxter of Maine, in cor
respOndcnce with all the members OF
the Maine delegation in Congress
received assurance of their interests
with one exception actively opposed
to duty on fuel oil Governor Cox
of Massachusetts was exceedingly
active in his opposition and in set
ting forth the reasons why this tariff
should be defeated
The vote of more than two to one
to put oil on the free list was era ii
flying to Governor Baxter. He felt
that the Federal government had
committed itself to a policy of doing
everything possible to encourage the
development OF oil resources every
where, and especially in the oil pro-
ducinc territory Of our neighbors
The increasing use Of oil has turned
attention to the crude oil supply and
the possibilities of future need es-
pecially to meet the demands of the
Navy anG Merchant Marine
Governor Baxter feared the effect
only on those now burning fuel oil
but upon those considering convert
ing their plants from coal to oil.
The coal interests Of course were
active in WASHINGTON and all over the
land, in behalf of this proposed oil
tariff, but the overwhelming vote in
the House of Representatives prom
iscs defeat of the bill.
