many questions on all phases of the
plan. The bankers in addition to
adopting a resolution indorsing the
marketing plan, pledged their efforts

COURT DECISION
MAY HALT STRIKE
PART OF JUDGE ANDERsON's
ORDER SUSPENDED. THE CASE
WILL BE CARRIED TO HIGHER
TRIBUNAL IN EFFORT TO DE-
eide ISSUE.

Chicago, Nov. 3.-Action of the
United States court of appeals here
today in suspending that part of the
injunction issued by Judge Anderson
of Indianapolis applying to the check
off system until further order of the
court was acclaimed tonight by Off
cials of the United Mine Workers of
America as decided victory. The
courts action allows the holding out
of union dues and assessments from
the coal miners pay to Be continued
by the operators temporarily. An ap-
peal hearing was granted the union
for Wednesday, November 16.
Union leaders professed to see in
the action today a reopening Of the
entire case and attorneys for the
mine workers said tonight they
would prove that the case had not
been handled thoroughly.
The action today, union leaders
said, would do much to clear up the
labor situation in the mines and
would help to hold in line men who
had been quitting work without au-
thority. :.
Operators on the other hand, said
they saw only a delay Oft final
outcome. They said that it would be
better to have the status of the check
off system decided at once rather
than delay a decision until cold
weather if a cessation of work may
result.
The injunction issued by Judge
Anderson forbade the operators to
withhold from the miners pay union
dues and assessments as the opera
tors had agreed with the unions to
pliance by the operators with the de-
plance by the operators with the de-
cision of the court would precipitate
strike and in the states where the
operators have decided to follow the
courts decree there have already
been walkouts and mines in other
states have had sporadic strikes.

ERSKINE PLAYS NEWBERRY
Armistice Day to Witness Battle In
Due West.

Armistice Day at Due West, New
berry College and Erskine College
meet at football.
Newberry is one of the strong col
lege teams of the state and the
engagement on Armistice Day prom
ises to be a battle royal. A special
effort is being made to induce a
large number of the friends of the
two colleges to be in Due West on
that date. This is the last game of
the season at Due West and Coach
McLean's backfield promises to be
foe man worthy of the steel of
Coach Parrish's backfeld machine.
1t will be struggle worth witnessing
to see Volt Brothers and McPhee pit
ted against Phillips, Young and Ken
nedy brothers of Erskine.
The records of these two teams
show that both have gone down be-
fore Furman and Carolina and both
have been victorious over Charleston
and Wofford.

ABBEVILLE HI LOSES
FIRST GAME OF SEASON
Greenwood Backs Best Seen Here
This Season-Beat Greenville
Is Now the Cry.

Starting from the very beginning
of Fridays game Greenwood came
back from defeat at the hands of
Greenville, Laurens and Honea Path
and with the precision and superior
ity of a well oiled machine humbled
Abbeville high by score of % to 7.
This is the first defeat the local
team has suffered this season and,
while man ywould have preferred be-
ing beaten by another team than
Greenwood, none can say that it was
not a game of real football, full of
thrills, that was interesting from
start to finish. The locals showed
spurts of superiority several times
and once had an opportunity to score
when B. Long passed over Green
woods goal line to Bill Nickles, who
could only touch the flying sphere
with the tips of his fingers. Another
pass, a long one, was completed by
Donald Harris for 25 yards. Galloway
several times gained well through
Greenwood's line and once criss-
cross netted a score of yards. Green
woods backfeld was far superior, as
whole, to any so far seen here, and
considerably faster Crymes and
Hartzog, as we'll as Yeldell and Grier,
played excellent ball.
There is only one thing possible
for the local team to do to keep in
the championship running and that is
to beat Greenville here Friday. The
game will be called at II a. m.
promptly, in order TO allow the
crowd and players attend the harbe.-
cue dinner which the Hospital auxili-
ary is going to serve from 1890 to
800 o'clock and to permit fans to see
the Erskine-Newberry game at Due
West Friday afternoon.
President +. {. Grier Of Erskine
College has sent complimentary tick
cts to the players, which generosity
ard thoughtfulness is very much ap-
preciated by the players and mana
gers and coaches.

Plans which have been in the max
ing for the past two weeks for the
celebration of Armistice Day have
finally been completed by the hospit-
al auxiliary. Events Of the day will
be the Greenv;lle-Abbeville football
game at II o'clock, the barbecued
dinner from IL to 800, and the ad-
dress of George B. Cromer of New
berry at 3 80 o'clock.
This schedule of events is entire
ly different from that first planned,
due to the fact that Friday after
noon the Erskine football team will
play it's last game on the home
grounds this year, at which time the
mighty "Dode" Phillips will make his
last appearance as an Erskine player.
So many of the Abbeville people, in
Guiding members of the Hi team,
wish to see this last appearance of
this great player that the game with
GreenWille was moved to the morn
ing hour. This arrangement also
necessitated the postponing of the
memorial exercises to the afternoon
hour.
The detailed program is as fol-
lows:
II a. m.-Abbeville-Greenville foot
ball game.
1890. p. m.-Barbecued dinner.

GREAT WARRIORS
IN MISSOURI CITY
PERSHING AND FOCH VISIT ST.
LOUIS-REGIMENT ON WAY
FROM CAMP JACKSON TO JET.
FERSON BARRACKS PARADES.
SIXTH GIVES REVIEW.

St. Louis, Nov. 5.-Hailed as one
of our "old boys" officially honored
by two universities, welcomed and
feted by the citizens of st. Louis,
Ferdinand Foch, marshal of France,
now the nations guest, today was
shown American hospitality as exem-
plifed in the Middle West. Sharing
the honor was General Pershing, who
was introduced to his fellow "bud-
dies" of the American Legion simply
as 'tBlack Jack"
From early morning until late to-
night the city poured forth it's hospi-
tality to two warriors in magnificent
manner. Both expressed keen delight
at the reception accorded them. The
American warrior, deviating from his
usual serious vein ,indulged in num-
erous pleasantries as he addressed
members of the American Legion in
the city hall.
Marshal F6ch, called upon to ad-
dress several throngs, expressed de-
light and appreciation of the honors
bestowed upon him and the cordial
welcome showed him. Visibly affected
with the bestowal of the honorary de-
gree of doctor of laws upon him by
the St. Louis university in an open
quadrangle before the student body
and members of other Roman Cath
olic schools the marshal declared it
difficult to express himself. A few
minutes previously from the same
platform Archbishop John j. Glen
non had presented him with a COM
memorative medallion on behalf Of
the fourth degree Knights of Column
bus. Twelve year old Elizabeth Fuez
received a kisso both cheeks from
Marshal Foch when she presented
him with a large bouquet on behalf
of the international Federation of
Catholic Alumni.

dinner will go to the benefit of the
Memorial hospital, which fact is pc
uliarly appropriate when the fact is
considered that the day is set aside
as a holiday in honor of the boys
who died in the service of the nation
in the recent world war.
Most of the merchants of the city
have signed a petition to close their
stores from II o'clock for the remain
der of the day. Those who were not
seen will probably join with the 9TH
ers in the general celebration. This
united action is certain to make the
day a success. A number of import

to work on various features of the
celebration and these women are
making every preparation.

WORK OUT POLICY
FOR CONFERENCE
PROGRAM OF AMERICAN DELE
GATES GROWING-FAR REACH
ING REDUCTION OF NAVAL
ARMAMENT PROPOSED AT
OUTSET OF MEETING.

Washington, Nov. 5.-The policies
and program of the American dele
CATION to the armament conference
are beginning to assume definite out
line and if the expectations of off,
cial Washington are relaized the
opening days of the conference will
see sequence of developments
something like this:
Presentation, at the outset, of a
concrete American plan for far reach
ing reduction of naval armament.
=. Consideration, along with this plan
of such troublesome problems of the
Far East as may naturally project
themselves into the picture. Mean
time an effort by the United States
to keep the negotiations in the open
so that public opinion may exert its
pressure toward practical accomplish
ment.
Salient features of the Ameri-
can naval armaments proposal al
ready have been established and, al
though details remain to be fixed,
there is reason to believe the reduc-
tions suggested will be sweeping
70 enough to convince the whole world
that the United States meant busi-
ness when it called the powers into
conference.
1t would cause no surprise if the
leading naval powers found it neces-
sary to submit the plan of this gov
ernment to long and careful study
before they determine on their course
of action. Should the reductions pro-
posed prove unacceptable, it lis be-
lieved likely that the American dele
gates having once taken the initia-
tive would invite the other powers
to present in their turn some con-
crete counter proposal.
All the evidences surrounding the
conference of the American big four
with their naval advisers have point
ed to inclusion of set of maximum
reduction figures in the plan to be
laid on the table by this government.
No official has. been willing to re-
veal any details of these figures, but
there has been apparent a desire to
lay bare at the very outset of the
negotiations the full extent to which
the United States would be willing to
go in scaling down the worlds naval
armament.
The impression that such a meth
cd may not lead to an immediate
agreement has been given color by
the apparent intention of some of
the powers to pursue directly op-
posite course and enter the confer
ence setting high figure as the
measure of the naval armament they
consider requisite to their national
safety. Japan already has indicated
.. that she would suggest the necessity
of maintaining a navy equal to any
which might enter her sphere in the
Far East; a proportion which naval
experts say is we'll in excess of her
persent power.
