those who inclined to force blue Sunday on Boga-

Reopening of the picture shows has not been given

HITS P|ECEWORK
Says Government Order Did
Much to Increase Cost
Of Operations
SENATOR CRITTCTzES M'ADoo

Washington, May 20.--Elimination
Of piecework during Government con
troll and the imposition Of labor union
rules requiring two men TO do what
one man did BEFORE" are chief factors
In the increased cost Of railroad opera
tions, President A. II. Smith, Of the
New York Central, testified today be-
fore a Senate investigating committee.
''How did it help win the war to put
piecework out?" asked Senator Kellogg
Of Minnesota. .....
II don't know, didn't do It," Presi :
dent Smith replied. II protested against
putting it into effect, but a man either
had to obey orders or get out, and
one couldn't very we'll get out during
the war;
Senator Wolcott, Of Delaware. asked
he didn't know. Senator Wolcott said
there was disposition to "blame every :
thing on the railroad administration, ~
and suggested that. Carl Gray, one Of
the assistant directors, had put in the
order.
Everybody knows that McAdoo was
not railroad man." Senator Kellogg
interjected, and there was heated in
terchange.
1T may be assumed Mr.. McAdoo did
not do It." Chairman Cummins inter
rupted. but I see no Importance in
the question Mere. We are only con-
cerned in the state Of affairs"
How are we going to help the con-
dition for the future?" asked Senator
Watson, Of Indiana.
The condition is bad" Mr.. Smith
said. We've never had a chance to
get fat on the railroads in twenty
years, as other businesses have. I'm
not running my repair shop today be-
cause haven't got money to pay the
men,"
How are you going to get it?' asked
Senator Pomerene.
"Ill have to borrow IT," Mr.. Smith
returned, I'VE can't earn it."
During 1920, he said, labor forces in
New York Central shops were sharply
increased. but repair output kept drop
ping. and the company was forced in
getting ready for winter to contract
with locomotive builders for engine re-
pairs. Costs for doing the outside work
were large, he added.
Before we got through with the
contract for twenty seven locomotive
repairs entered into with the Baldwin
works." he said. "the bottom dropped
out of the business. won't send them
the others now, because we haven't got
the money to pay for it,"

TO PRESERVE PEACE
Leading Residents Of Disturbed
Region Volunteer as Special
State Policemen
BORDER LINE PATROLLED
BY the Associated Press


Williamson, w. Va, May 20.-De-
termination of the Mingo County au
thoritics to preserve order In the Upper
Tug River Valley took tangible form
today when several hundred rifles were
received by Captain Brockus, command =
ing the State police in this region. They
were taken to tho Courthouse, where
business and professional men, who yes
terday took the oath as special State
policemen, were waiting to receive them.
Armed men in Mingo have not been
an uncommon sight during the last year,
but tho novelty of leading citizens leav-
ing the Courthouse with rifles on their
shoulders and pistols strapped to their
hips caused more than passing com
ment.
The entire West Virginia. eKntucky
border line wns quiet this morning, ac-
cording to reports received by Captain
Brockus and Sheriff Pinson. There
was rumor that an unidentified Negro
had been wounded near tho Lick Creek
tent colony early in the day, but the
report, Captain Brockus said, had not
been verified by his men in that section.
Major Ike Wilder, commanding the
Kentucky National Guardsmen, who
are patrolin gtte west side of Tug River,
rumors affoat In Williamson that firing
from the Kentucky hills in the vicinity
Of Nolan had been going on. Other
points on the Kentucky bank, he said
were quiet.
Major Wilder has established head
quarters in Williamson, although. he
pointed out, his forces would be main
tained on the Kentucky side Of the river
and their activities confined strictly to
that State. Many idle miners visited
Williamson today to receive their weekly
relief checks from the Office of the
United Mine Workers.
Governor Morgan today issued a
proclamation declaring martini law IN
Mingo County.

Chicago, May 20. - Railroads plan
reductions in the rate on building ma
terials, as an emergency economic pro
cedure. but expect little effect beyond
the satisfaction builders may derive
from imaginary stimulation and rail-
roads can find in proving their conten

this time. Several reductions recently
made have borne out this presumption.

Reports of general rate reductions

PAINTINGS FOR GROCER

They are oil portraits Of George Wash i

mer being copy of Stuart's Washing
ton copied by Robert Street. Of Phila
delphia, in 1855, for George T. Beale.
The portrait of LINCOLN was begun
shortly before the death Of the President
and was unfinished when death termi-
mated the career of the artist. His son,
Austin Street, completed the Lincoln
painting. That portrait also was painted
for Mr.. Beale, whose daughter. Miss
Susan Eldridge Beale, was married to
the Rev. George BoddIs. pastor of the
Marcus Hook Baptist Church. In her
'ast illness in the summer of 1920, Mrs.
Boddis requested Doctor Boddis to

ANOTHER NICKEL OFF ICE
colllnsswood Fighter Of Ice Assocla
tIon Drops TO so Cents a Hundred

Coliingswood. n. j., May 2O.-Ice
went down another nickel yesterday, ac-
cording to Charles NJ. Sutton. the ice
man who has taken into his head the
idea of fighting the Camden County Ice
Association to cause the general DROP
in prices.
Ice is now sixty cents a hundred
pounds from Sutton's wagons, that
being a reduction of ten cents this
week. This second drop was made by
Sutton when he heard other ice dealers
dropped five cents to meet his first re-
duction to sixty-fve cents. He did not
wait to verify the report but on hearsay
cut off another five cents to be sure Of
his bacon" and to keep his promise
of dropping a nickel every time his
competitors reduced to meet his price.
Sutton is disgruntled, and rightly
30, citizens say, because the County
Ice Association put over an act that was
very distasteful to him, even after he
notified the body of his proposed action.
Now apparently the County Association
Is disgruntled in turn. At least it looks
that way from the pleas members are
said to have made to Sutton in the
last few days to "stop his noise" and
to keep prices up.

BAY STATE SOLONS
DABBLED IN STOCK
Legislative Committee Finds
They Acted While Bills
Were Pending
NO SIGN OF EVIL INTENT
BY the Associated Press

Boston, May 10.--The legislative
committee inTIiring into stock market
operations by members Of the Legisla-
lures of 1913 and 1910. while measures
affecting the stock involved were pend
ing, reported today that such transac-
tions had occurred. In no case. how
ever, the committee reported, did the
vote Of those concerned affect the fate
of legislative measure.
The committee submitted as a supple
mental report an order providing for the
transmission to District Attorney Pei.
letter, of Boston, Of copy of the tes-
timony for such action, if any. as he
might see fit. Because the committee
was appointed Jointly by the House and
Senate, 1t decided that It was without
power to recommend any action that
could not be taken by both bodies act
ing concurrently.
Senator j. W. Mccormick, in a MI
nority report, said that while he had
signed the main report he did not con-
cur with the finding Of the majority of
the. committee with relation to the con-
troll bills of 1918 that there is no evi.
dence that these purchases of stock had
any material effect upon the passage OF
the legislation" '.,
1T is my opinion" he said, that
the prominence and influence of these
members, particularly those who were in
the Senate, was such that had they op-
posed the bills their passage would have
been doubtful"
The committee in its finding said:
Eight Senators and seven Repre-
sentatives bought Elevated before the
passage of the Elevated Control bill ON
May %, 1918. Two of the Senators
and one of the Representatives who SO
bought voted against the bill. The
vote OF the House on ordering the bill
TO third reading was 1876 to so and
IN the Senate on ordering the bill TO
be engrossed was 27 TO 8.
Eight Senators and six Representa-
ives appear to have bought Massachu-
setts Electric stock before the passage
on June 3, 1918, Of the Bay State Con-
troll bill. This bill was passed by large
malorities in each branch with no rol
call in either branch except one in tho
House on an amendment.
AT some time during 1918 and 1919
before the passage of the Subway bin
on december %, 1919, seven Senators
and eleven Representatives who were
members of the 1919 Legislature bought
Elevated stock, including those already
enumerated rs having bought before
May %, 1918, who had been elected TO
the 1919 Legislature. Most of these
purchases were disposed of long before
the passage of the Subway bill.
The common motive back of all these
purchases was the desire on the mart
Of those involved therein to make money.
There was no evidence that these pur-
chases had any material effect upon the
passage of the bills.
''The bills had the active s,lpnort ~
public opinion, voiced by newspaper
editorials and otherwise. They were
passed by substantial majorities ond
many of the legislators most heavily in.
volved had been on record as favorinp
the legislation before their purcbases

WORLD WAR ON ANTHRAX
Mellon Urges Law to Check Sale OF
Horsehalr Brushes

Washington, May 20.--(By A. P:)
LEGISLATION TO prevent Interstate sale
Of horsehair shaving brushes was urged
today by Secretary Mellon in letter to
Speaker Gillett as a prevention against
constantly occurring cases of an
thrax from their use. Experience
shows, Mr.. Mellon said, that only horse
hair brushes cause anthrax and be-
tween February, 1919, and September,
1920, thirty -four cases, resulting in
eleven deaths, were contracted In New
York. II the same proportion prevailed
throughout the United States during
that period, he added. 173 deaths would
have occurred.
Mr.. Mellon said manufacturers Of
brushes generally agreed that use of
horsehnir should be prohibited.
