THE STRIKE ISSUE CLEAR.

On its sudden announcement the
threatened railway strike left the
public mind partly confused. 1t was
said that the employees were striking
against a second reduction of wages,
10 per cent. on top of the IL per
cent. ordered by the Labor Board to
become effective July l. But this was
not the case. The proposed strike was
voted before there was any talk. of
supplementary cut in wages, and
was wholly and solely against the
scale of wages decided by the Labor
Board to be "just and reasonable. "
Efforts were also made to connect the
strike w tn lower freight rates. But
the heads of the railway unions have
themselves shown that nothing of
the kind was in their minds. They
deny that wage reductions would be
justified by reduced railway charges,
or could be to any noticeable extent
worked out in them. Thus that apol-
ogy for the strike is wiped out by the
strikers themselves. .;:.
Their real quarrel is not with the
railroads. They are not protesting
against any act or proposal of the
railway arrangements. The strike, if
it comes, will be on the single and

The box came through the mail
and was addressed to Miss Helen Ho-

Washington, Oct. 20.-Orders
closing the Berkely Pre-Vocational
School at Boston, where 500 war
veterans have been in attendance,
were issued today by Director Forbes
of the Veterans Bureau.
Mr.. Forbes said the school had
been found unsanitary and unheal-
thy, and he was satisfied that it, "has
been vouchering the Government for
services never rendered"
One student, 72, years old, was
discovered on the schools rolls, Mr..
Forbes declared. He is William Black
burn of Lynn, Mass, who, Mr..
Forbes asserted, had learned to write
his name in a shaky hand after re-
ceiving Government training for over
two years as cost of about $500.
How Blackburn qualified for' Yoca-
tional training was not explained.

DR.. THOMAS L. DAVIS
LOCATES IN AUGUSTA

DR.. Thomas L. Davis, who should
have remained in Abbeville to prac-
tice his profession has opened Offices
in Augusta, Ca, where he will spe-
cialize in diseases of the eye, ear,
nose and throat. The Augusta Chroni-
Gle, in a recent issue, has the fol-
lowing complimentary notice of DR..
Davis:
"After an absence of several years
from Augusta, DR.. Thos. L. Davis has
returned and opened Offices in the
Lamar building where he will special
ize on diseases of the ear, eye, nose
and throat. DR.. Davis has been for
two years studying in the largest and
best equipped hospitals in Chicago
and New York and close application
during this time has naturally per-
fected him in the knowledge of these
especial types of diseases. He served
as inferno in New York in the larg-
est hospital for the ear, eye, nose and
throat in the entire world.
"Dr. Davis left Augusta for offic-
ers' training camp at the outbreak
of the World War, was commission
ed a lieutenant and assigned to
Camp Pike. He was discharged as a
major, showing how rapidly was his
rise in the service. Personally, DR..
Davis is a gentleman with charming
personality who numbers h.: friend:
by the hundreds in this city and sect
ton. His return to Augusta will be
the occasion of great deal of pleas
ure to his friends and he and Mrs:
Davis are being given a most cordial
welcome"
DR.. Davis spent a part of the sum-
mer in Abbeville. While here he did
a good deal of work at the local hos
pital. He was uniformly successful
with his operations, and his friends
in Abbeville are expecting him to
succeed in Augusta.
Mrs. Davis is still in Abbeville Wis
iting her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. J. s.
Stark. She will leave in about ten
days to join her husband in Augusta

FOOTBALL.

~
Football games are about t6 be-
come bigger attractions than baseball
games. The people in Abbeville have
turned out in great numbers this
year to see the local high school boys
play their opponents, and no little in
terest otherwise has been shown in
the home team. Then again you hear
as much talk about Clemson and Fur
man, Tech and Centre, as you have
heretofore heard about the Detroit
Tigers and the Cleveland Indians, the
New York Giants and the Pittsburg
Pirates. ,,,..
And it is all very well. The game
is great developer. 1t has its place
in college and in high school. We
would not like to discourage those
who are interested in it. But if foot
ball is to keep it's place as college
sport, professionals must be kept out
of the colleges. This thing of hiring
men to go to college for few months
in order that they may play football
must be stopped. The attending of
colleges and high schools for no pur-
pose other than to play football must
be stopped.
Perhaps the thing now complained
against has not progressed to any
great extent in this state. If this is
so, it is the easier to put stop to
bad practice. Just what rules and
regulations should be made to OBJ
tain the desired results will have to
be worked out, but we would suggest
the following:
In the high schools no boy shall be
allowed to play who is more than 10
years of age, nor who weighs more
than IT'S pounds, perhaps 165. In
the colleges no young man of more
than % should be allowed to play.
In neither high schools nor colleges
should any student be allowed to play
unless he has been for a year preced-
ing the session in which he expects to
play a student of the institution for
which he plays.
We believe the adoption of these
rules is of more Importance to the
high schools than to the colleges. If
the young boys are to play they
should not be forced to 60 up a.
gainst grown men. The dangers to
them from hurts are greatly increas-
ed thereby. Then again it is in the
interest of fair sport that the teams
should be as nearly evenly matched |
as possible. This cannot be done if |
older and larger boys than those of
the ages and weights suggested are
allowed to enter the high schools and |
play on the teams.
Neither must we lose sight of the
fact that the high schools are first !
educat onal institutions and that foot
ball is an incident to the work to be |
performed rather than the chief end |
Of the whole matter.

MARKET IS WAITING
 CONGRESS- SESSION
Weekly Review Shows Readjust'
 ment Going Forward
Especial to the Herald. }

New York, March 1s.-President will summon new session of con- gress to meet on April II and that at that time an important place will be given to the problem of revising Income and excess profits taxation is This is, Of course, in line with the expectations already entertained con- evening MT Harding's policy.
 Tax Problem Urgent.
 The tax problem has, assumed an even greater urgency than hereto fore. Notwithstanding the various deductions permitted as a result of 1920 losses the payment of the first instalment Of income and excess profits taxes which fell due on March Is has again emphasized the ex- traordinarily oppressive character of the tax and its unfair application to business. The crucial problem at the present time is to find an ade- quate substitute for it. Adoption of tho sales tax is a proposal which has received an ircreasisg amount of support. but there is certainly no in- dication thus far of the probable policy of the Administration, though 1t does not now seem likely to adopt tht plan suggested by Secretary Houston which contemplated an un- distributed profits tax and an exten- sion of luxury taxes.
 Discount and Interest Rates.
 While awaiting the outcome as to taxation the business world is un- doubtedly growing very restive under the present. high discount rates This attitude of mind is found not only in the United States but fin Great Britain. In the latter country it has culminated in a reduc- ton of the treasury bill rate to 6 per cent, a change taken as indica- tive of an impending decline in the bank rate which is still at per cent. Predictions of . reduction in Fed eral reserve rates simultaneous with the expected lowering Of the Bank of England rate are also mum merous. but there has been nothing to war rant them thus far.
 Foreign Conditions.
 The chief development during the past week in the separations situation has been the announcement that the Allies definitely expected from Ger many the sum of billion marks before March a, with an additional 1s billions on or before May l. while the attitude of the Germans was that of virtual refusal What form of

 Market Review and Outlook.
 Operations on the stock exchange during the past week have been on a decidedly higher level than pre- viously. If. as stated, there has been some throwing overheard of securi- ties to raise funds for the purpose of paying the first instalment of the Federal income tax, urgent selling of that kind is now at an end, and with the very much reduced floating SUD- ply of stocks and the large outstand- ing bear account, it will be realized that the market is in a. position to turn about on anything like favor able developments. Attempts to cover in these circumstances bring about an advance, as shown in this weeks transactionsA and, in conse- quence, traders are becoming more wary in putting out short sales. Gov ernor Miller's traction bills afford an- other favorable market factor for the reason that the securities of the transit lines in New York are so widely distributed. With regard to the immediate future of the market there is no expectation that there will be anything like a runaway af- fair, but it is certainly getting on a much better footing.

puniti-o action on the part of the Allies continuation of this deadlock may bring about can. of course. be only matter of opinion.I Meantime the occupation of Germany is caus- ing extra expense to France and Eng land, and is tending to produce bad results in the financial markets es- pecially in France. President Hard ing's present plan is reported to be that of calling a new. international conference to meet in Washington with the idea of working out some scheme which will permit the parti- cipation of the United States in the general readjustment, of postwar conditions. ,.
 Readjustment Gong Forward.
 Further recession of prices has taken place during the past week, while the reviews of the steel and iron trade seem to show that that industry has been passing through an unprecedented era of depression, some plants being operated at only about 10 per cent capacity. There are indications. however. that the end has been reached. The revival thus far seems to affect chiefly the textile industries and the ausomo- bile trade, which were the first to feel the shock of business disturbance and consequently may be regarded as likely to be the first toN work out or 1t. Threatened wage troubles on the railroads reflect the efforts at readjustment in that branch of busi- ness. Industrial reports during the past week, including notably those of
