PRINTING SCHOOL IN GEORGIA
OPENED THIS MONTH

The fall opening of the Printing
School at Macon, Ca, will occu.
during the first two weeks in Sep
TENDER. There is in prospect a full
attendance with class of 100 stu
dents coming from all parts of the
United States. Wherever students
have gone to work recently, there
have been almost without exception
calls for others trained in exactly
the same way. This is due to the
fact that the course of study has been
developed according to the needs of
employers to whom students have
gone in the past.
One student has just written the
school as follows: II have been in
touch with young Livingston, who
came to your school last January.
He is now earning an average of ST.
week as a linotype operator. He
tells me that he had never earned
over SIS week before he attended
the school,
MY own experience in school has
been of great help to me In every
way"

DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMAN SAYS
HE WILL NOT RESIGN

Chairman George White, of the
Democratic National Committee, is
not ready to resign, nor is he now
giving any consideration to severing
his connections with the managing
body of the Democratic national
party.
This has been made plain in de-
NAL of rumors which have been cur
rent for some time, based largely on
the understanding that Chairman
White might be a candidate for the
Democratic nomination in Ohio next
year, where there is every indication
that the State will again swing into
the Democratic column because Of
dissatisfaction with the record of the
national administration and the
falleged failure of Congress, and be-
cause of what is already revolt
against the Republican State admin
iStration.
Mr.. White has not yet made up his
mind that he will be candidate,
though he is in an exceedingly re-
ceptive mood. But candidates. IN
Fder the Ohio primary laws do not
need to be announced until next All
gust, and before that time there is
much that can be accomplished in
the organization work of the Demo
cratic party, which is already well
in hand.

OLD PAPERS PRESENTED TO
PARIS LIBRARY

During a recent visit to relatives
! in this city, Mr.. e. K. Knapp, a for
| mer resident of Paris, now of Phil
adelphia, brought with a bound vol
ume of copies of 1.-THE Saturday
Night of 1S74-75-76, to be pre-
scented to the Public Library.
1.-THE Saturday Night was little
four-page weekly newspaper owned
and published by the late Green R..
Keller, who resided here for many
years, and who was widely known
as a newspaper man and politician.
This volume will be of interest to
the older residents of Paris and
Bourbon County, who will review
the items relating to the business,
the political. religious, educational
and social interests of the commu-
nifty, also the deaths, marriages,
births and advertisements, with feel
ings of mingled pleasure and sadness,
recalling tender memories of the long
ago.
Many, including the genial and
popular editor of the bright little
sheet, whose names and deeds are re-
corded in it's columns, have long
since passed to their reward, while
others who are mentioned as figur-
ing during their youthful days in
the various activities of the cOmmu-
nifty, are to-day among our most
substantial and prominent citizens.
The following paragraph from Il
report of an open session of the
Cricket Club" of Miss Jessie Tip
toms school, on March IL, 1875, is
an example of how the youthful &C
complishments of three of our we'll
known citizens were regarded at
that time:
Master Willie Hinton performed
very we'll on the piano and deserves
credit for his skill.
Master Eddie Hinton delivered
his speech very well.
Miss Upton, on the piano, and
Master Isaac Price, on the violin,
rendered some beautiful airs from
the opera of "The Bohemian Girl
The hops" at the Bourbon
House," which in those days were
occasions Of rare enjoyment, attract
ing large crowds of pleasure-loving
young people from all parts of the
Bluegrass, are given prominent
mention, and the gowns and jewels
worn by the bellies in attendance,
are described very attractively.
The Debating Society, which in
cluded some brilliant young intel
lects, ]. A. Buckler, A. M. Swope, &.
c. Lockhart, G. T. Osborne, Garrett
Davis, ]. M. Mccain, w. S. Jones,
and others, held weekly debates upon
the topics of the hour, as well as
historic and economic subjects, and
is reviewed several times.
The frequent mention of Rev. W..
T. POINTER, Ed. j. S. Sweeney, Rev.
l.. H. Blanton, Rev. Geo. S. Weeks,
and other ministers of blessed mem
DRY, will be very interesting to those
who were acquainted with these be-
loved pastors.
Mr.. Knapp, who was the carrier
of The Saturday Night presents the
volume to the Library with the I'M
derstanding that it is not to be taken
out, so that those who desire to
peruse its pages will have to do SO
at the Library.

British Premier
Is Criticised for
Speech in House
French Press Up in Arms
Over Stand Taken by
Lloyd George on s.
lesian Problem.

Chicago Tribune Cable, Copyright
Paris, May l5.-(By Wireless. y
The French press, including conser-
vative, liberal and radical organs, is
up in arms against the English atti-
tude on the. upper Silesian problem
as reflected i'll Prime Minister Lloyd
Georges speech in the house of COM
mons yesterday. Several journals
see an impasse in the present crisis
which may definitely rupture the en-
tente.
The semi-official Temps. in COM
menfing editorially on Mr.. Lloyd
Georges speech. said while our gov
ernment expressly declared that it
would not tolerate the entry OF Ger
man troops into the upper Silesia
plebiscite territory, Prime Minister
Lloyd George has said the Germans
must enter if the allies do not sue
ceed in quelling the Polish insurrec-
ton. The Germans--the reactionary
military parties-thus find themselves
encouraged to undertake war opera
tlons which may set the whole Eu-
ropean continent on fire."
Dangerous Speech"
The Petit Parisien declared. prime
Minister Lloyd George yesterday ut
tered a dangerous speech. Doubt
less he did not measure the disastrous
effect which would be produced i'll
France by the advice he gives Ger
many to re-establish order in her own
province at a time when the Ger
mans have just promised to pay and
disarm and when proofs abound, that
though the Poles have been conf
PEELED to take up arms, it was not
they that began the trouble.
"One could hope that these words
were only a freak, yet one is COM
PEELED reluctantly to point out that
on other points the activity of Brit
ish diplomacy, since the ultimatum
was sent, has not been very discreet.
1t is asserted that Lord d'Abernon
(the British ambassador to Ger
many) in an agreement with his
government, let Germany UNDER
stand that as reward for her ac-
ceptance of the ultimatum, the allies
would Immediately evacuate Ruhrort,
Dusseldorf and Duisberg. This step
is said to have been taken without
France being aware OF 1t.
Crisis Is Near.
"Wherefor these initiatives? Is 1t
out Of love for Germany? Certainly
not. The British government, in
thus acting, yields only to desire
for facilitating by all means possible
the re-establishment of economic
peace which is indispensable, for
England is prey to a most dangerous
crisis. The British governments in
tentions are all the more suspicious,
because in other fields it manifests a
desire to draw closer, the bonds be-
tween England and France"
prime Minister Lloyd George is
badly acquainted with the patience
of the French public" writes In
transigeant, "if he deems it capable
of enduring with innpunity, his whims
after those of former President Will
son, whom he desires to replace as
the arbiter of the world"

serted that Mr.. Lloyd George lost
an excellent chance for keeping his
mouth shut. His article of 1000

Labor Big
Problem of
Railroads
Executives Unite in Pronounce
ing High Wages as Chief
Cause for Present Finan-
cial Difficulties.
Specific Cases Are Cited
By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.

Washington, May l5.--The rail
road executives will consume all OF
this week and perhaps part of next
week, telling the senate interstate
commerce commission their views OF
the reasons for the existing perilous
financial plight of the railroads.
Daniel Willard, president of the
Baltimore and Ohio, will follow
Julius Kruttschnitt, chairman of the
board of the Southern Pacific, whose
cross-examination by Senator La
Toilette probably will be concluded
tomorrow.
. However widely the views of the
executives differ on other matters,
they are a unit in pronouncing the
high labor costs of railroads the
chief faction in the inability OF the
transportation systems to make both
ends meet.
They will be followed on the wit
ness stand by the Representatives of
the employees who will seek to DEM
onStrate that wasteful management,
not high wages. is to blame. They
will undertake to cite practicable
economies which, if put into effect,
would leave the roads a handsome
profit without reducing wages.
Blames McAdoo Rule.
In analyzing operating expenses,
Mr. h rt,ffc Shp,ff
normal increase in labor costs is due
not alone to high wages, but in sub
stantial measure to the national
agreements originating under the
McAdoo railway administration,
which compelled the railroads to
Fay for much work that was not
done He cites the following 10
typical cases which he says might
be multiplied indefinitely
|. The Pere Marquette railway
was compelled to pay $9,364 in back
pay to four employees, because their
titles under those agreements were
changed by decision of the director
general, while the nature of their
duties and the volume of their work
remained the same"
2. A car repairer on the Virginian
railway was paid $1,000 for work
he never did. He was laid off with
other employees because there was no
work for him to do. When he be-
came entitled under his seniority
rights to be re-employed, he re-
Seived back pay and overtime"
3. The shop crafts agreement pro-
vides that when employees are re-
quired TO check in and out on their
own time they will be paid for one
hour extra at the close of each week,
no matter how few hours they may
have worked. This rule in the first
six months of 1920 cost the railways
S6,500000, or at the rate of S15,000,-
900 year.
