perience of one man to have filled the
Offices of President and Chief Justice
of the United States.
Opposition to the confirmation of
Justice Taft's nomination was negligi-
BILE, only four votes having been re-

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Cement Makers Under Fire-Govern-
ment Seeking to Dissolve Cement
Manufacturers Association.

New York.-The Government sought
to dissolve the Cement Manufacturers
Protective Association by bringing q
civil suit in Federal Court against 10
corporations and four individuals.
Violation of antitrust laws was
charged and the Government asked
that these corporations and -indi-
viduals be enjoined perpetually from
maintaining a combination and con-
spiracy to restrain trade. Members
of the association were said to pro
duce so per cent of the cement used
in the northeastern section Of the
country.
The action supplemented indictments
returned here last March against the
Alpha Portland Cement Company and
70 other corporations and AZ indi-
viduals charged with combination and
conspiracy to restrict cement from the
market The suit resulted from revel-
ations of price-fixing combinations by
the Lockwood State Legislative Com
mittee investigating housing cond1-
tons. Samuel Untermyer of counsel
for the committee, recently requested
charging that the previous nationa!
Administration had taken no notice of
repeated complaints.
The defendant officers of the asso-
citation were named as follows: Presi-
dent, e. P. Walker; Vice President,
c. Raymond Hulsart; Secretary, Miss
M. B. Phalen, and Treasurer, Marion
S. Alderman. Between 1903 and 1911
the complaint alleged certain of the
defendant corporations were organ
lied as members of the Association
of Licensed Cement Manufacturers,
and, as such, were required to sell &C.
ment at scheduled delivered prices
which were uniform to any given point
of delivery.
The association was dissolved and
abandoned by unanimous vote of the
members about January 6. 1911, the
complaint said. From 1902 to 1915, it
was alleged, there existed one large
outstanding association known as the
manufacturers of cement in the United
States belonged.
The Portland cement industry by
1915, it was said, became one of such
magnitude that it was determined that
certain of it's duties could be per-
formed more satisfactorily and expedi-
tiously by local sectional organiza-
lions.
The defendant corporations, since
their utilization with the National AS
ISOLATION in 1902 and the Eastern As
ISOLATION in 1916, the complaint al
legged, had been engaged in conspir-
acy and unlawful combination in re-
straint in interstate trade and COM

road Labor Board. Despite considera-
BILE dissatisfaction displayed among
many employees, no reports of sporadic
strikes or any serious threats of
strikes were reported to the union
chiefs here.
Approximately 1900 delegates from
system organizations of the Big -Four
brotherhoods, the shop crafts, the
maintenance of way men, telegra-
piers, clerks and switchmen met here
to canvass the situation. Heads of the
Big Four and the Is American Fedora
ton of Labor unions held short meet
ing before the officers separated to
convene the organization meetings.
The executives meetings, it was said,
took no action other than to place the
entire wage situation in the hands of
a committee headed by B. NJ. Jewell,
President of the railway employees de-
partment of the American Federation
of Labor.
The other members are w. III. FltZ-

While there was no indication of dis
sension between the organizations over
the wage cut, definite line of de-
marcation developed. The Big -Four
Brotherhoods, according to Harry P.
Daugherty, Vice Grand Chief Of the
Engineers, were favorable to accept
ing the cut as necessary evil" al
though the brotherhoOds might not in
dicate their attitude by any formal res
olution of acceptance.
On the other hand the shop crafts
and maintenance of way men were said
to be opposed to accepting the reduc-
ton. Both have taken referendum
votes on the lower wage and both are
reported to be heavily in favor of its
rejection The maintenance of way
group, composed largely of section
men, was the hardest hit of all rail-
way employees in the wage reduction,
the entire increase granted by the La
Dor Board in July, 1920, being wiped
out.

the beauty Of the Soprano voice
which Mr.. Thomas A. Edison once

in the United States. Her tones are
just as pure as ever, and the music
lovers here are indeed fortunate that
Miss Spencer has included Columbia

Wnen, aICer an absence OF four years

nounced that she was available for an
extensive tour, ,her Manager was i'm

introduced by DR.. L. G. Nell, commit,
teeman from the GradyvilIe precinct,
and unanimously adopted by the COM

Whereas on August the 9Th, a Pri-

the candidates nominated at said pri-
mary and we call upon the Republi-
cans Of the County to get solidly be-
hind the ticket and roll up the largest
majority ever given a Republican
ticket in this County.
The Democrats are now and have
since the race started in the primary
been using every effort to create dis
cord in our ranks.
The party has for years past been
together and the result has been
largely increased Republican major
tiles, the time has past for divisions
and splits in our ranks.
Every candidate nominated is a
true Republican, high-class gentle
men, and we'll IquaItied for the Office
he seeks.
They were all nominated by decisive
majorities and there is not the slight,
est reoson why each of them should
not receive the united support of the
party.
We call on the Republicans to prof,
it by past experience and not be de,
ceived by propaganda of the enemy.
We call on every Republican both
men and women to get to work fol
the ticket and not to cease until the
polls close on November the 9Th, wher
this is done a victory of which every
Republican will be proud will be ours
