Gentlemen
We hereby apply for permit to
utilize the two story frame, metal

Rice Mill Plant. for storage and sale
of illuminating and lubricating oils.
The building in question is situat-
ed in Center of said block and there
are no buildings which it exposes,
save our own, within 175 feet. Owing
to isolation of said building storage
of oil therein will not endanger pro-
perty in the neighborhood and fire
insurance rates will not thereby be
increased
We herein submit sketch showing
location of building we propose using
for oil storage and distances from it
to other buildings of same block, all
of which evidences the remoteness of
danger to any property in this neigh
borhood.

TRIAL OF MANNING
TO BEGIN TUESDAY
Negro Boss for John S. Williams
Will Enter Plea of
Not Guilty.
(ey The Associated Press)

| COVINGTON, Ga, May 29.-Clyde
Manning, negro boss for John S. Williams
will enter plea of not guilty when his
negroes killed on or near the Williams
| farm, begins here tomorrow. according
to his attorney, E. Marvin Underwood.
The negroes wre killed to hide alleged
peonage conditions after federal In
vestigation was started last Feberuary,
according to statements. of the prosecu-
tion in the trial of Williams, who was
convicted here recently and sentenced to
life Imprisonment.
Manning, chief witness for the state
against Williams, told the jury he took
part in killing all three of the negroes
who are alleged to have been brought
into this county and drowned, but as
serted he did so under fear of death if
he disobeyed his employer. He would go
free under Georgia law if he could prove
to the satisfaction of the jury at his own
trial that he was compelled to commit
the crime.
Mr.. Underwood. employed to represent
the negro by group of AtlantanS in
terested in promoting better feeling be-
tween the races, has obtained orders
| from Federal authorities to bring to the
trial Clyde Freeman and several other
negroes formerly employed by Williams
who are held as material witnesses in
the peonage charge. They are to be
used by the defense in it's efforts to
prove that Manning was in mortal fear
| of Williams. Mr.. Underwood has been
quoted as saying additional evidence to
| that at the Williams trial will be pro-
duced.
Williams and Manning were indicted
charged with murder by a Newton coun-
| ty grand jury and later they and three
of the Williams boys were indicted for
| murder by grand jury in Jasper coun-
| ty, where the farm is situated. Williams
three sons are fugitives from justice and
have not been brought to trial in Jasper
county pending the outcome of his ap-
peal for a new trial before the state
supreme court. Jasper county authori-
| ties also are awaiting the outcome Of
Manning's trial here before taking steps
| to try him. Peonage indictments also
have been returned in federal court
against Williams and the three sons.

PLANNING FOR
A BIG STRIKE
Textile Workers of North Caro-.
lima to Resist Wage
Reductions.
TO EFFECT ONE GROUP
OF MILLS AT A TIME
Satisfactory Settlement of Wage
Reductions Only Way to
Avert Trouble.
(sy The Associated Press,

CHARLOTTE, N. c., May 29-North
Carolina will be the battle ground in
the impending struggle of the textile
workers in the resistance of wage re-
ductions in excess Of 221a per cent
according to Thomas F. MacMahon
vice-president of the United Textile
Workers of America, but once the
wa1k-out starts it may spread to all
southern textile centers, he said.
Mr.. MacMahon explained tonight
that while a. general blanket order for
strike had been drafted, las an
nounced last night, it would become
effective in one group Of mills at a
time, one mill center after another in
the Carolinas, especially the Piedmont
section, being successfully affected.
He declared that the only possible
development that might avert the pro-
posed strike would be a satisfactory
settlement of the wage reduction con-
troversy through negotiations between
the mill executives and the loca,
groups of workers. In only one OF
two mills in the southeast had a sat
isfactory agreement been reached, he
said, despite the. fact that appeals had
been sent several weeks ago by the
Charlotte central labor union, repre-
senting all the organized trades OF
this section, to Governor Morrison Of
North Carolina, to the president of the
Southern Textile association. to the
Charlotte chamber of commerce anc
the mayor of this city, none of these
had taken steps to ward off a strike
he said.
Mr.. MacMahon declared that he an6
President Golden of the international
Textile Workers Union, had come into
the south several weeks ago to can
vass the situation in response to ap>
peals by the local unions and reiterat-
ed the declaration that they never
came at the instance of the interna-
tional organization or of their own in
itiative.
He lie here, he said, to counsel with
and advise the local unions.
In North Carolina and each other
southern textile state he said there is
a. secret executive" board, the per-
sonnel Of which is unknown to the
public, which keeps him informed OF
local developments throughout the
state and in turn keeps the loca!
unions advised of developments not
only throughout the state. but in al
textile centers included in the national
organization.
Explaining the reason for keeping
the date Of the proposed walkout Sc
cret, Mr.. MacMahon said that if mill
executives could learn. in advance
when a strike would become effective
they would shut down and this would
have the effect Of weakening the
morale of the workers generally. 1t
was the purpose Of the union officials
he said, that no mill owner should
know in advance when a walkout in
his plant would occur.
