meanwhile hoping that some means
might be found for averting para,
lysis OF the nations transportation

tics was regarded By officials as 40

make II practical to await develop
ments before taking action
Hope was expressed generally by
officials that the suggestion advanced
by the House group of the Railroad
Labor Board, here for conferences
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, might be made the basis for
a solution of the problem.
Public Groups Proposal.
The public group of the board pro-
posed that the railroads Immediately
put into effect freight reductions
quivalent TO the wage decreases auth
orized by the hoard last July. that
the railroads withdraw further re-
quests for wage reductions. and that
the employees rescind the strike order
pending action by the board on pro-
posals of the carriers for further paw
cuts.
Postmaster General Hays, in the
only public statement issued up to
noon. declared ''the mails will be rnoy-
ed"
Il am sure the parties to the con-
troversy will not permit Developments
which will interfere with government
service" said Mr.. Hays. This is no
time for statements from this depart
ment. A time may come for action.

there will be action. The mails will

weeks Agent Widcnhouse, with tht
assistance Of city and county author
tiles has seized several IMPORTANT
stills one Of them being the biggest
evcE seized in this county, and whis-
key, which formerly would be pur-
chased at most any price, is getting
scarce.
That the blind tigers are paving at
tcntion to the efforts Of the officers is
shown by the fact that the reported
price Of blind tiger liquor here has
increased SO cents pint within the
past, two weeks. Persons who We're
alleged to have openly Dragged two
weeks noo that they sold liquor here
have nothing more to say now.
The officers have paid no attention
to politics and stills nave been found

at last a determined effort is going
to be made to round ip the stills
