----- FIRING CONTINUES OFFICERS REPORT

Madison, w. Va, September B. Detachments of regular army troops today established themselves in sew cral points in the region where for the past week firing between armed men and deputy sheriffs has been in progress, and success in disarmlng some of those engaged in the shoot ing was reported by military author ities. Army officers stated how ever, that the firing they had been sent to suppress continued through out the day.
 Military headquarters was estab- lished here with 200 men and officers and posts were later stationed at Jeffry and Sharples. Each post Is made up of about 100 men and of ficers. Late today the Sharples post reported to headquarters, according to a statement made here, that a body of men had been rounded up and dsarmed. From these 42 rifles, IS pistols and about 1000 rounds of ammunition were obtained, it was added.
 These, with 200 other men who came down from the mountains ear- Her in the day without firearms or ammunition, were placed upon a spe- cial train, transported to destina- tion which was not revealed by the authorities, but described as away from the disturbed area" At Shar- ples a statement was made to the military authorities by one of the disarmed men that he knew of one Killed in today's firing in Blair noun

The war secretary was understood to have given final authority to promulgate the martial law proclamation If conditions as re- ported by General Bandholtz made 1t advisable.
 Government officials generally gave the impression that issuance of the proclamation was not an immediate possibility and perhaps not even a certainty unless hostllities developed incident to the employment of troops.

SYRIAN PRINCESS IS COMING AGAIN
 10 LECTURE HERE
Princess Rahme Will Be Heard September 20 Under Auspices of the Big
 Sisters Association

For tlle second time this year, Bir- mingham is to act as host to the noted Syrian lecturer, Princess Rahme< Harder of Damascus, Syria.
 The princess is well remembered by immense audiences which heard her last spring at the Southside Bap- tist church in several of her inter esting lectures, and now on the even ing of September 20 she returns to give a benefit lecture under the aus pices of the Big Sisters association at the Tutwiler ballroom before leaving for the Pacific coast. She will present her unique address, 'The Car nival of Damascus" bringing in one scene of the syrian Captain Naaman. Much interest is being shown in her return visit and those who did no: hear her last time will avail them selves of the opportunity on Septem- Der 20.
 Princess Rahme comes of long line of princesses representative of the purest type of the Semitic race and IS possessed of all the warmth or soul and poetry of her people, upon which has been superimposed the education afforded by American col leses, both in her native land and in this country.
 - In presenting the Carnival ot Damascus" she will dwell upon the unique side of Syria, touching upon the various aspects of life in the Holy Land. giving a graphic picture of the little land to which the world owes so mach for its civilization and cul- ture. Choosing to follow literary pursuits in America instead of living life of ease and luxury in the orient, the princess has spent several years upon the lecture platform and Is regarded as one of the most force- full lecturers on oriental subpects be- fore American audiences today.
 She will be ably assisted by her companion, Miss Lucille Burgass, d talented musician who has transposed the difficult native music from the ancient stringed instrument called "El-Oud" and is presenting 1t in con nection with all the princess lec- lures.
 Clad in her elaborate oriental cos tune of beaten silver, with striking appearance and pleasing voice, with ready speech and convincing man ner, she will add to the attractiveness of any programme.

, incident forms another indictment against our government for having neglected to create means to deal with and adjust labor troubles"
 If we have devised codes of justice and instituted courts to settle amica- ble individual disputes" he asked, ''why cannot we settle labor disputes by application of these same princi- ples of justice?"
 Expressing regret that the miners should have chosen lawlessness be- fore conciliation to secure their ends Senator Walsh said he was convinced that when this trouble first showed of the dispute"
 Whether the original blame rested with the operators or with the miners" he continued, seems to be subordinate only to the question of whether the government itself has been responsible in part for condi- tions.
 q am convinced that If an efficient department of labor or state concilia- tory board had undertaken to handle this affair at It's inception it could have been amicably and satisfactorily itself and force was first used the government should have stepped in and demanded a peaceful settlement settled long before matters came to this present pass"

MERCHANTSOF NEW
 YORK ARE OPPOSING THE OFFER OF FORD
Analysis In Accord With 0th- CTS Filed With the Score tary of War during
 the Past Week

Washington, September S.-(Sps- Deial)-The Merchants association O.: New York. through q select conn mittee, presented to the Secretary of War this afternoon, an analysis of the offer of Henry Ford for Muscle Shoals, and criticism Of that offer with plea that it be rejected.
 The analysis is in accord with others filed with the Secretary. In the plea for rejection is contained a prophecy that if the Ford offer is accepted. much invested capital will be forcei to retire from southern states. Tn conclusion follows:
 All that can possibly be accom- plished by the Ford interests in the way of developing effective and cheaper methods of production is al- ready in process of accompli shment. In the event that the Ford interests are subsidized, it is inevitable that not only will capital cease furthee investment in field where it is sub jected to the destructive effect of subsidized competition. but that the vast volume of capital already em- ployed in this field will retire as speedily as possible.
 Government Not Justified
 Tt is the firm conviction of this association that under no circum- stances is the government justified in invading the industrial field, either directly or by means of a subsidy to a single interest under conditions which will give it a great com petitive advantage over other private capital.
 I've believe, therefore, that the Ford proposal should be rejected"
 In connection with the opposition of business to the Ford proposal H. F, Bower, agent of the American Farm Bureau Federation, testified before the finance committee of the Senate, which during recess prepaf es the tax bill that the Muscle Shoals appropriation bill was defeated last spring by the by-products coke oven interests.
 These interests, as previously published. prepared brief. Three corporation, the Gulf States Steel and the Woodward Iron company, are in Birmingham. MT. Bower said:
 Whnt Bower Said
 we have had the Muscle Shoals plant defeated by the by-products coke oven interests principally on the argument that that plant should not manufacture ammonium sulpha .s in competition with them. Having secured that result, they are prepar- ing their arguments against the con struction of the Wilson dam, which will come before Congress in Decein- ber."
 But MT. Bower hid not make his escape.
 Senator Shoot very calmly inter posed: Your statement that the coke oven interests ddeated the Muscle Shoels plant is not so"
 "They were very active in 1t; will state it that way, Senator" re- Joined MT. Bowtrs.
 That is bettei." said Shoot.

He added that the residents of the disturbed areas had received the troops in spirit of frlendliness. Other reports from General Bandholtz dealt with disposition Of the troops.

 A squad of soldiers spent the entire day searching the mountains near Beech creek for five newspaper cor respondents who had wandered into the thickets and become lost.

POPULAR PIECE OF FICTION
Arkansas Penitentiary Has Never
 Been Out of Politics.

Little Rock, Aug. 23.-(SpeciaD - One of the most popular pieces of cur rent fiction is the statement which was recently made in the press to the eff feet that the Arkansas penitentiary had been taken out of politics. The states penal institution has made and broken many governors and other state officers connected with it, and from the beginning has figured large in the political affairs of Arkansas, and it will continue to do so until the end of time. Instead of being out of politics, it is deeper in than ever be- fore. It is difficult to determine which is the right side of the present controversy, although to the casual ob- server, it would appear that the pre- sent commission is being charged with many things unjustly. It is probable that there is some elements of justice in both sides and that out of it all will come an institution better qualified for it's correctional mission. Whatever the merits of the controversy, it is certain that the penitentiary will be very prominent in the next campaign for governor and that it will be one of the principal issues with which Governor McRae will go before the people for a second term. Governor McRae has soma very decided opin- ions on the subject and will not hesi- tate to make them known in language that cannot be misunderstood.
