HARDING ANSWERS
WILLIAMS CHARGE
REPLY MADE TO CRITICISM OF
FORMER COMPTROLLER-RE-
CORDS SHOW THAT WILL
. LIAMS VOTED FOR FEDERAL
RESERVE SALARY INCREASES

Washington, Oct. 15.-The feder-
al reserve board does not regard
"the salaries paid the governor of the
New York Federal Reserve bank and
the federal reserve agent as being
excessive" Govrnor Harding of the
board said in letter to Chairman
Anderson of the congressional agri-
cultural committee, made public to-
night.
"No one familiar with the qualif-.
cations of these gentlemen, their
long experience in banking, their
esta blished position in the bank
ing community before the feder-
al reserve bank was organized, the
magnitude of their responsibilities
and the opportunities constantly af-
forded them to make other and
more profitable engagements" the
letter added, "would assert for mo-
ment that they are being paid more
than they are worth"
Governor Harding explained that
the letter was not reply to the re-
cent senate resolution requesting
data on the salaries paid New York
federal reserve bank officials but
was intended to deal more specifcal-
ly with criticisms of John Shelton
Williams, former: :comptroller Of the
currency. The boards answer to the
request of the senate, he added,
".would be forwarded next week"
He requested, however, that the let
ter be made a part of the commits
sion's rcord and that the commits
sion make public its finding with re-
spect to the charge made by Mr.. Will
liams in the controversy which began
some months ago.
Included in the letter was an an
alysis of the salaries paid the New
York bank officials and a compari
son of the salaries with those of
bank officials carrying similar re-
sponsibilities. The letter also en-
bodies the minutes Of meeting of
the reserve board of which Mr.. Will
liams, as comptroller, was member,
which showed that Mr.. Williams
voted for increasing the salary Of
Governor Strong of the New York
bank from 100000 to $50,00O.

FIGHT ON TOLLS
CENTERS IN HOUSE
ADMINISTRATION WOULD ARBl-
TRATE QUESTION-SENATORS
BORAH AND REED SPEAK
BOLDLY IN. DEBATING INTER-
NATIONAL ISSUE.

Washington, Oct. 16-In the house
where the administration is powerful
the Borah bill, repeating Panama ca
nal tolls as they apply to American
vessels engaged in coastwise trade,
will be indefinitely delayed even if it
is not "put to death"
The administration would secure
repeal of tolls by arbitration rather
than by act of congress, which the
administration fears will give offense
to Great Britain on the eye of the
conference for the limitation or ar
mament. The administration adheres
to the belief that its tenure of official
life is dependent on the result of the
conference. 1t would willingly let
nothing jeopardize the promise of
success now extended.
To the house, transcontinental rail-
roads have switched their highly in
telligent lobbies. There, too, Great
Britain will endeavor to exert influ-
ence.
The debate in the senate was
smashing affair, Senator Borah and
Senator Reed called a spade spade.
The latter was severely critical of
the letters published by the family
of the late Ambassador Page, letters
written by the ambassador to former
President Woodrow Wilson urging
him to bring about repeal of free
tolls legislation. Senator Lodge, in
urging the defeat of the Borah bill,
declared that it would tend to jeop-
ardize the disarmament conference.
Senator Pomerene (Democrat) of
Ohio, and one of the strongest mem
bers of the senate, declared in the
ablest speech against the bill t hat
it would "barter national honesty for
ship subsidy"

Case Against County Continued
Until Next Session.
Common pleas court adjourned
Friday afternoon, after six day ses-
sion. Jurors had been drawn for a
second week, but so many cases were
settled out of court that the second
week was not necessary. The last
case, a damage suit against the
County was continued.
The Press and Banner said in its
Friday issue that George Pritchard
would regain possession of an auto
mobile recovered in the suit of the
Operatives Trust Company against
Sheriff McLane. This was an error
The Sheriff took possession of the
car after finding liquor in it, it is
alleged, and sold it at auction. The
Operatives Trust Company held &
mortgage on the machine and brought
suit to recover, winning the suit
That company, therefore, gets pos
session of the automobile.

ABBEVILLE GETS THIRD
FROM ANDERSON HIGH

The pig (skin) jumped over the
sty and in the act made Abbeville's
score 21 which was just enough to top
the Anderson His mark in the foot
ball game Friday afternoon. The old
reliable toe of Galloway gave the
ball the momentum to cross the bar
the third time, putting the game in
the won column instead of the tied.
And as that third kick climbed across
the goal bar, with hop, skip and
Jump movement, there came the
grand climax Of an exciting game,
which the Abbeville fans had almost
despaired of winning three minutes
earlier. J
The teams were fairly evenly
matched in driving power, each show
ing at times a weakness in defensive
play. Abbeville's heavier line was not
impregnable to the light backs OF
Anderson High, nor could Anderson
hold the Abbeville backs. Enjoyment
of the game was somewhat marred
by the constant penalties for offside
and holding, the honors being pref
ty evenly divided by the referee.
Wall, Wright, Mattison, Dean and
Meeks, the latter nursing a broken
nose, led the Anderson team in su-
perior work while Bradley, Long,
Galloway, Smith and Gambrell were
perhaps the lights of the locals shin
ing team.
Anderson scored first in the first
quarter after Abbeville had failed to
make first down, Dean carrying the
ball across. Mattison kicked goal.
From the kickoff, the Abbeville team
marched down the field 65 yards IN
a consistent manner for touch
down, Gambrell taking the ball over.
Galloway kicked goal. The quarter
ended with the score seven ALL,
To start the second quarter it was

WAGE REDUCTION
TO LOWER FREIGHT
PLANNING TO MAKE
EFFORT TO AID BUSINESS.
WILL MAKE TEMPORARY RE-
DUCTION OF RATES ON FARM
PRODUCTS.

Chicago, Oct. 15.-Immediate re-
duction of freight rates on agricul-
tural products for a trial period Of
from so to 90 days, pending further
wage reductions, was one of the pro-
posals presented to high railroad Of
fcers at the conference of the AS
sociation of Railway Executives to-
day.
A general policy of wage and
freight rates was the dominating top
ic under discussion. Realization that
the legal steps necessary to lower
wages and transportation charges
would delay any benefit to the public
indefinitely was said to be RESPONSE
BILE for a definite proposal to aid ag-
ricultural production.
According to railroad officials, a
temporary reduction of rates on farm
products was thought to be possible
with comparatively little delay.
A tentative reduction of 10 per
cent was suggested. Meanwhile, the
roads would take up wage negotia-
tions with their employees and if
unable to obtain an agreement to re-
ductions, would take the question to
the railroad labor board.
A decision by the board to allow
further reductions would then mean
immediate application to the inter-
state commerce commission to reduce
freight rates on all commodities.
If the attempt to reduce wages was
unsuccessful, it was proposed to re-
store the present rate on farm prod
ucts.

AW| At STOPPING
OF EVERY TRAIN
ABSOLUTE CESSATION OF SER
VICE INTENDED-THE UNIONS
MEET AGAIN TO DECIDE NUM-
BER OF MEN TO BE PERMIT
TED TO WORK.

Chicago, Oct. 16.-Absolute ces-
sat;on of train service, with mini
mum force only sufficient to guard
against fire and damage to railroad
property on duty in shops and depots,
was indicated by the drastic regula-
tions issued by the railroad brother
hoods in connection with their strike
order today.
The brotherhoods' instructions to
members did not specify what service,
if any, was to remain in operation
after tie last man walks out Novem-
Der 2. Under the list of duties of
members, No. 2 says:
"All men on strike will keep away
from the companies property except
such men delegated certain duties to
be performed by the unions"
The extent to which the shopcrafts'
unions and other of the remaining or
carnations which will walk out has
not yet been decided. According to
B. NJ. Jewell, president of the rail-
way employees department of the
American Federation of Labor, that
is one of the questions to be deter
mined at the shop crafts meeting to
complete their plans tomorrow.
'I do not understand that the train
service allows for the operation of a
single train," Mr.. Jewell said in point
ing out the brotherhood clauses say
ing that employees had "identically
the same right to refuse to perform
service on a mail train as on freight
train"
"The public had better get into
walking clothes. 1t looks like an
absolute tie up of all trains" he
added.
''The force permitted to remain on
duty in past strikes to protect prop
erty depended on the circumstances
of the STRIKE" Mr.. Jewell said. Usual
ly a small force was left on duty
around shops to prevent deterioration
of equipment, he said, and a small
force was kept at union stations and
depots to guard against any actual
suffering on the part of strikers.
"The men allowed to remain at
work in our organizations" MIR. Jew
ell said, twill be decided on when
we meet to complete strike call plans
We can't quite tell yet how many that
will be but not many"

Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 16.-With
announcement today that the big

here Tuesday to discuss plans for
carrying in the nationwide progress
sive railroad strike that has been set
to begin at a. m., Sunday, October
30, w. G. Lee, president of the Bro
therhood Trainmen, declared that

ference. General chairmen of the
four other organizations attended
the conferences and We're given their
orders there.
Nothing but miracle can stop
this STRIKE" said Mr.. Lee. "'Still
there may be savior in some place,
but l am afraid not"
Mr.. Lee explained that the strike
order was final and definite, no pro-
visions being made for a postpone
ment of action.
Grand officers of the Brotherhood
of Engineers were arriving here to-
night for conference tomorrow
with Grand Chief Warren S. Stone,
at which they will receive final in
structions before departing for the
districts over which they have super
vision.

dent of the Brotherhood of Firemen

Abbeville's ball in midfeld. Gambrell
made 10 yards and Long kicked. An
derson lost the ball on Abbeville's
25 yard line. Bradley gained 20
around left end. A forward pass
was intercepted by Meeks who got
away with a long run for a touch
down. Mattison missed goal. Meeks
got away with another long run few
minutes later, the touchdown and
goal giving Anderson a lead of 13
points to end the half.
In the third quarter both teams
were in position to score but penal
ties kept the ball from being carried
across. On the ten yard line Abbeville
got away with run that would al
most have carried the ball over, but
Red Mcmillan called the team back
and penalized them Is. This was re-
peated>in less degree until Abbeville
had lost 25 yards in three plays. An
attempted pass failing on the fourth
down the ball went over.
Near the end of the third quarter,
Breazeale, substituting for Mattison
at right end, picked up an attempted
pass by Abbeville after the whistle
had blown and ran go yards for a
touchdown that did not count. 1t
was near the end that a long pass,
Long to Gambrell, netted a touch
down, Galloway putting it over.
The final counter came on a long
pass, Long to Smith, an Anderson
player Juggling the ball in the air
before Smith got it safely tucked
away. Galloway kicked, the ball strik-
ing the cross bar and bounding over.
Score 21 to 20.
