NUMBER "A.
BALLOTS MAILED
 TO RAILROAD MEn
Big BrOtherhO0ds Begin Voting on on Question of Walkout-0pp0se
 Wage Reduction

Cleveland. Aug. 28.-Strike ballots on the acceptance or rejection of the recent $400,O00,O0O wage reduction re- gently ordered by the Railroad Labor Board were mailed tonight to 409,- 900 members of the Big four" ,brotherhoods and the Switchmens Union of North America
 The ballots revealed a difference of opinion among the chief executives of the five organizations, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and Enginemen, Order of Railway Conductors and the Switchmen using a joint ballot, while the Brotherhood |of Railway Trainmen sent out separate ballot.
 The trainmen's ballot said it had been the intention of all the organza- tions to use a joint ballot, but that this was impossible because the bal lot adopted by the other organiza- tions did not in our opinion contain an impartial and unbiased recital of all that is involved, nor did it convey the assurance that the wishes of the men, if against working for reduced wages, would determine the question and that they would be permitted to leave the service'
 The joint ballot said if the mem hership votes to reject the wage re- ductions which became effective July n, 1921, "it is to be understood that the men will be permitted to with draw from the service of their re- spective companies unless satisfactory settlement can be reached under the law of the organizations
 'The proposition which confronts our members and others" said the |trainmen's ballot, carries with it an attempt to reverse that decision of the United States Railroad Labor Board on the wage reduction now i'll effect since July l or else persuade or compel the railroad companies to re- institute wage rates that the labor board decided should be reduced.

Engines Damaged At Light Plant

Monday afternoon three cylinder heads were blown st the liga: plant putting two engines temporarily out of commission. Two extra heads were on hand and one of the engines was put back into commission, but the other one will be down until new head can be obtained. MT. Miller manager of the light plant estimated the damages at about $1,00O He said that the engines were cooled by cir culating water from the, city mains, and the water superintendent had cut off, or caused to be cut oil, the water while he was making tap on one or the mains, and had not notified them that the water had been cut on While MT. Bowles was not present when the water committee investigated the matter Tuesday morning, it was learn- ed from MT. Miller that there were 2 ways of getting water to the engines. One was from the mains and the other was from the tank direct. The latter way had been practiced part of the time in the past and in that case the water could be cut of from the town and not from the engines, or the plant. It is thought by the water committee that MT. Bowles was under the im-
 
 precision, or did not know that the valves had been changed and had not thought it necessary to warn the light people.

Cotton Letter By ..
 A. Goldsmith

Much has been said lately with ref erence to the present cotton crop, as to conditions, yield, and outlook for prices Inasmuch as one opinion is as good as another, when one is in terested in that product, I will endea- vor to give your readers my views There has been a recent big advance in the market, simply because the trade in general now fully realize that the insects of all kinds as we'll as the unfavorable weather has play ed havoc with the crop. On July the 18th the Government issued the last .estimate on conditions. Heretofore or in former years the deterioration has been about to points in Aug ust, while this year conservative cot ton men, and private estimates, place lowef than the last Government fig ures. This difference or lower esti- lIlciIC ido OOSul III <hUSuoI, o44d would indicate a crop of 100000 bales or a little less. Some of the estimators may over Astimate the damage done, yet none of us will dis pute the fact that this is originally land to begin with small crop and has had reverses ever since it has been planted
 We should not lose, sight of the fact that all the mills have small stocks of merchandise on hand, and that the wholesaler and retailer never had less cotton piece goods on their shelves land counters. This alone is a strong talking point for higher prices Only recently have the people in the East become convinced that this is indeed la short crop, and today Europe is inclined to discredit our bad crop reports and estimates our crop at about 10,000,O0O bales, but the Euro pean people will realize very shortly as our Eastern mills did, that this is the shortest crop in twenty years, be scramble for cotton from the mills on this side and in Europe Texas the king bee of the cotton world estimate on conditions is only 37 which indicates a crop in that state of 100000 bales Throughout the entire cotton belt insects of all kinds and weather has hampered it's further development or improvement, if anything we could see a lower con- ditions About three weeks ago con- 'servative cotton men predicted 15 cent cotton. Since then there has been a marked falling off, therefore it would not be at all surprising to see cotton basis middling very shortly sell at 20 cents,
 I cannot urge too strongly upon the cotton growers the necessity of pick ing their cotton early, and picking it clean, clear of sticks and trash, and before the rainy season sets in This neglect in the last two seasons has cost the South millions of dollars, and we should profit by the past sad experience.

PLAN TO BRING THE U. $.
 ARMY FROM THE RHINE
State Department Forecasts Action Following Ratification of Treaty.
 Cost Is Mounting Fast.

Washington Aug. 26,-When the United States Senate and the Ger treaty signed in Berlin yesterday this government will consider withdrawal of the Army of Occupation, according to intimation from the State Depart ment tonight.
 Under the new treaty Germany ag- rees to perpetuate the promise she made in the treaty of Versailles to pay the expenses of occupation, but there is no direct mention of the sub- ject which it is said could be inter- preted as in any way affecting the present situation or binding the Unit ed States troops either to remain or withdraw.
 The Versailles agreement with the allies fix 15 years as the maximum period of occupation. So far as is known there was no consideration of the subject in the negotiations lead ing up to the present treaty, and off, ficials take the view here that the decision lies wholly with this gov- ernment. It is suggested by those favoring an early withdrawal, how ever, that maintenance of the forces of occupation might impose such a financial burden on Germany as to delay materially her payment of rep arations.
 Latest available figures place the number of American troops in the army of occupation at 14,000, whose cost of maintenance is nearly S1,00,- GOO month. Only a small part of the maintenance bill has been met by the German government thus far upwards of 00O0,000 being due and unpaid to the United States on account of the occupation
 A TOuchy Problem.
 Despite the predisposition of the administration to disengage American relations from any unnecessary en- tanglements in Europe, many quest ions will enter into consideration of the question of trop withdrawals.
 Problems growing out of the oc- cupation already have led to disagree ments among the European allies, and it is the manifest hope of American officials to avaid offense to any of them in the course it adopts.
 It is considered unlikely that there will be definite decision pending rat ifcation of the treaty by the Senate and by the Reichstag both of which are expected to begin consideration of the pact late next month. Mean time, however, officials of the State and War Departments will make de- tailed investigation of conditions in Germany and in occupied territory for the guidance of President Harding and his advisers.
 Although the treaty signed yester- day covers in general way the ques- tion of trading relations by reaffirm- ing many commercial provisions of the Versailles settlement, it was dis closed today that a separate trade treaty with Germany probably will be sought in the near future, It is possible that negotiations to that end may begin even before the gen. oro1 traatv has hnaD ratified

BATTLE FOUGHT; 5 MEN
 SHOT IN WEST VIRGINIA
State Troops and Armed Band Meet in the Hills-Fired Upon
 by Snipers.

State Police Headquarters, Ethel! w. Va. Aug. 22.-Five men fell in an encounter early this morning between an armed band and state troopers on Beach .reek, Logan county, near the Bc onc-4ogan county line, Capl :. i'. Frockus, commanding state police and deputy sheriffs, reported this after nOon
 There was much shooting on each side. he said Whether all the men who fell were killed, Captain Brockus was unable to say. He added that after his men had seen those who had Iailen picked up and carried away by their companions, the state troopers and deputies retired, be- cause some of their number were in civilian clothes and it was difficult to distinguish them in the darkness from the men comprising the armed band
 Prisoners are Taken.
 The clash was at close range, ac- cording to Captain Brockus report, the men firing at each other when but eight to 10 feet apart. Before the fight, Captain B1ockus said, II prisoners had been taken by the patrolling party which set out from Logan yesterday, ostensibly toward Blair and Sharples. Four of the prisoners escaped during the engage. 'ment, it was said, and one of them is believed to have been killed. Captain Brockus was at the head of the advance guard of troopers and deputies. It was this detachment, comprising 12 men, that engaged the armed band, The patrol, while pro- ceedng toward Sharples, Captain Brockus reported, ran across five men afoot. All were armed with rifles. and one had a shotgun, he said.
 Met With VOlley.
 "We called upon these men to dis" arm, which they did," the captain continued. We placed them under arrest, and proceeded down the road. Further on We met two automobiles and placed six additional armed men under arrest.
 With the Il prisoners we marched on toward Sharples, and came upon another squad of five armed men. Some one called to us that we would not be allowed to pass. We called upon them to surrender their arms, but received in reply volley of shots.
 "Our men returned the fire, and in the fight five men fell to the ground. We waited until we saw that they were picked up and carried away, and then decided to discontinue the ad- vance for the present, It was very dark. some of our deputies were in civilian clothes, hampered our dis tinguishing them"
 Captain Brockus could not definite ly state whether the five men were killed. but intimated that probably four" were killed.
