PASSING ARTILLERY

The main body of the 51st Artillery,
on its way from Camp Jackson tc
Camp Eustis, is now in Chester, and
NAV pass through Yorkville tomorrow
and possibly not until Thursday or
Friday.
The last Of the heavy guns pulled
up in the Chester Fair grounds at an
early hour Yesterday morning, and Col
Hilton, in command, is quoted in the
Chester Reporter as saying that ne
would probably not begin moving out
of Chester until Wednesday night and
maybe Thursday morning. 1t was un-
derstood, of course that rain or other
circumstance could very easily make
for more indefinite delay.
On the way between Columbia ana
Chester there was experimentation IN
both day and night travel and the en-
gines Of the big tractors seemed 10
operate so much more satisfactorily at
night than in day time, that the or
ficers were inclined to think that they
would make the balance of the trip at
notwithstanding by night and remain
ing in camp during the day. 1t is un-
derstood, however, that this probable
plan Is also subject to change.
Although the engineers who had
gone out a week ahead of the main
contingent, had marked a route
through the town Of Chester, so select
ed as to keep the heavy tractors on the
asphalt, this route was disregarded
The. big guns followed straight along
the asphalt by whatever seemed to be
the most direct and practicable route
to the fair grounds, and the asphalt
was deeply indented by the wheels, es-
pecially by the rivets in the wheels OF
the heavy tractors. The artillery off,
GERS. however, assured the Chester au-
thorities that there would be no per-
manently harmful result; that the as
phalt would soon smooth itself out
and that it would be the same as
before.
According to the route marked out
by the engineers, the heavy tractors
will come into Yorkville from the
Chester road and turn down California
street to Cleveland avenue. From
Cleveland avenue the column is sup,
posed to turn into Jefferson street ana
on to Church and Railroad street and
thence proceed on across to manson
street, which it will probably follow to
Wright avenue. 1t will pass into
Kings Mountain street from Wright
avenue and thence through the new
street on the Spencer property, COM
ing back into Kings Mountain street
through the grounds Of the Church
Home Orphanage.
After leaving Yorkville, the under
standing is that the column will pro-
ceed up the Kings Mountain road to
Bethany, thence back across to Glover,
and from Glover to Gastonia.
But in view of previous changes In
plans, it is just as likely as not that
there will be further changes and the
heavy tractors may rou directly
through Congress street.

The public announcement that has
just been made by the South Carolina
committee of the War Finance board,
the text of which appears in another
column, is Of much more significance
than is generally appreciated. While it
is fact that the recent advance in the
price Of cotton has had the effect OF
saving from ruin many farmers and
business men who would otherwise
have been unable to keep their heads
above water, the contemplated action
of the finance board promises addition
al and further relief. For instance,
even with the advance Of the price Of
cotton there is in South Carolina a
great volume Of frozen credits" BY
frozen credits for one thing is meant,
credits that are not sufficiently secured
to warrant attempt at collection, and
also credits, the liquidation Of which at
this time would ruin the borrowers. AS
a general thing the banks can now
save themselves whole; but should
they attempt to collect all past due
loans the general effect would be eX-
ceedingly distressing to many Of their
customers. The purpose of the War
Finance board is to lend the banks on
the credit of the banks, money with
which to carry certain loans that would
otherwise have to be collected. But it
is not 10 be understood that this will
mean a general extension Of all frozen
loans. While money is being put
within easier reach Of banks that are
already borrowers, there is not the
slightest softening up of the respon-
sibility that these banks are now bear
ing, and the banks of course will re-
uuire liquidation whenever they deem
such liquidation desirable. Nobody is
to be relieved of existing obligations;
but there will be a material easing of
the strain under which the whole in
dustrial and financial fabric has been
sweating. 1t is important that the pub
lie should understand that the present
advance in the price of cotton has been
influenced to Il considerable extent by
the promised measures Of the Federal
Reserve board and war finance cor
pOration, and as these promised meas
ures get into effect there is reason to

Should the Fatty Arbuckle plays be
cut out of the picture shows? That
question has already been answered by
good many towns and cities in the
affirmative There are lots OF others
that have taken no action, and which
probably will take no action. Whatare
the facts? This fellow, an ordinary
kind of a loafer, the/ike of which there
are thousands, Grifted into the movies
like many others, and by chance struck
public favor. Through the aimless but
general applause he won, his salary
was increased to a point where he did
not know what to do with his money.
OF low order of intellect, and without
capacity for enjoyment Of other than
sensual pleasures, his inclination ran
solely to the qualification Of the brute
that is within him. His money he spent
on whiaky and women-in debauchery,
without regard to public or private de-
cency. OF course there are thousands
If Fatty Arbuckles, not only among
the movie stars; but in every town,
city and hamlet in the country. He
probably is no worse than many 9TH
ers; but now he occupies a different
position. Formerly to patrons of the
movies he was only big fat clown,
tile centre of more or less possible fun;
but from now on it is different. Peo-
pie cannot look at him any more with
out associating him with his real char
acter, numbering letcherous debau-
chez, who knows no higher use to make
of the golden shower that the public
has rained on him than to indulge in
orgies of debauchery. Yes, there are
many who will continue to enjoy Fatty
Arbuckle and they will enjoy him all
the more because of this development
Of his real character: but there are
many others who will have no more of
this creature OF these there are many
who are too clean of themselves to
tolerate him and many others who will
taboo him out of their regard for pub
lie decency.

There is a hitch in the proposed final
conference between the representatives
of the Sim Fsin and the British cabi-
net, because the Sim Fein has been in
sisting on going into the conference as
though representative of a sovereign
nation. The British cabinet is willing
to confer with the Sim Fein only as
the representative of the majority SEN
timent Of South Ireland. Correspond
ence is now hinging about this point
and unless the Irish yield to the Brit
ish view of the matter the conference
will not take place.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1921-09-20
expect that the resulting relief will be
still more appreciable.
Collective Bargaining.

The most aggravated difference be-
tween corporation, executives and or
ganized labor hinges on the question or
collective bargainings involving the
right Of organized labor to do business
with corporate direction through duly
selected representatives.
Corporation executives are generally
opposed to this principle and organized
labor insists upon it.
| AS we see it the contention of or
ganized labor is reasonable and just.
Let it be remembered that the most
| important advantage Of corporate
state is relief from individual respon-
sibility. The corporation has many
privileges and exemptions that do not
attach to the individual.
But it is the rule rather than the
exception that the directing officials OF
the corporations are inclined to handle
/ labor on basis of individual capacity
rather than of corporate capacity.
For instance from the corporation
side the employe is treated impersonal-
ly, and the disposition is to look upon
him merely as a unit rather than as q
man, and when the employe goes up
against the employer with an individu-
al grievance, the employer usually
retreats from his individual status and
becomes the representative Of the cor
poration.
Under such conditions the employe
has but little show-he is one against
many.
With the unincorporated individual
employer the relation of employe Is
different. Then there is some reason
in the proposition that if the employe
does not like his treatment at the
hands of the employer, or vice versa
relations may be dissolved-that the
employer can get another man and
the employe another job.
But the assumption of such posi-
tion by the directing officials Of cor
poration is illogical and unfair, be-
cause just as he is the representative
of and backed by the corporate au-
thority and power behind him in deal
ing with an individual employe, the in
dividual employee, in order TO be on
even footing, should be backed by the
power and authority of a labor or
ganization representative Of and
founded on the interests with which
he is concerned.
