KENNEKEET FOLK TO DIP
CATTLE JUST THE SAME

Considerable dissatisfaction is being
expressed in certain sections of Dare
County over the defeat of the tick erad-
ication measure. People on the Kinne-
keet strip from Rodanthe to Hatteras
were heartily in favor of dipping and had
built vats at their own expense. Those
people have suffered much from the in
roads of the tick, losing cattle by the
hundreds Being ready for some sort of
relief they were prompt to erect vats
at every precinct. The defeat of the
measure has been a decided setback to
ther plans, but they are going to look
after it without the help of authorities
and propose to dip the cattle anyway.

$38O,OOO,OOO DEFICIT IN SHIPPING BOARD

Washington, July 22.-Operations of the shipping boards fleet for the fiscal year just ended resulted in a loss of approximately $3So,ooo, ,ooo, Chairman l-askcr of the board an nounCcd. This deficit was created by $3o7, 100000 than previous estimates from official sources and was made following an examination of all board accounts
 The governments venture in the merchant marine business last year involved total expenditure of $O8O,- GOO, ,o0O SO far as could be asCcrtained from the boards books which MT.

 A deficiency appropriation of $780, ooo,ooo for the shipping board, is to be asked in a few days, Chairman Jones, of the Senate commerce com mittec, today informed the Senate.

WATCH OUT FOR
 NON-UNION CIGARS
Drive Being Made Hereabouts to Put Them Over" Under
 False Pretenses.

A strong drive is being made by non-union cigar manufacturers aided by certain local wholesale and retail cigar dealers 10 promote the sale Of several non-union brands of cigars in this city. These cigars are made in the cheap labor districts of neighbor- ing states and arc inferior in quality and workmanship to the New Haven made product and for this reason their wholesale price is less than that charged for cigars made in this city Nevertheless, they are usually repre- Sentcd as first class goods for which the full retail price is charged
 Dealers are discriminating against union made cigars and especially those made in New Haven in favor o fthese non-union brands because the latter yield the larger profit, and as a means of popularizing these infer for nOn-uniOn Out-Of-tOWn made cigars they are being prominently dis played in show windows and on top of cigar cases where they will attract the most attention.
 Union men and all others who want good smokes are urged to shun these non-union cigars. Play ii safe by de manding cigars made in New Haven all of which arc union made and you will not be mislcd or disappointed. For more than 50 years New Haven has produced cigars uncNCcllcd any where in quality and workmanship and always under union conditions, and although this high standard of quality and union conditions are still maintained, the retail price of cigars made in New Haven is usually no more than you are asked 10 pay for the inferior or nOn-uniOn cigars which some local dealers favor be- cause of the larger margin of profit that they yield
 We believe that the drive 10 estab- fish thcsc inferior non-uniOn brands will ultimately fail, for ii does not seem probable that smokers, especial ly union men, will buy these low grade non-union cigars that are re tailed no cheaper than the first class Kew Haven union made product.
 Take no chances. Buy only cigars packed in boxes bearing the Blue Union Label of the Cigarmakers'

HARTFORD UNION SOUABBLE UP AGAIN
 ON MONDAY NEXT
Two Business Agents for Carpenters Local to Fight Another Round
 for Job.

Hartford, July 22-The deadlock in the Carpenters and Joiners' Union resulting from the presence Of two business agents, both carrying on the work usually done by one officer, con- tinues 10 be a principal topic in union circles.
 An open meeting of the carpenters organization was held this week in it's hall on Market street, but there was no discussion of the peculiar situation which will probably be def initely settled at a meeting next Monday evening. In the meanwhile, Gcrety, rival claimants for business agent, are gathering together their forces. Ii is believed that the real outcome of the dispute will be de cided Monday when Mir. Gerety's ad- herentS will try 10 summon sufficient strength to force through a rcsOlu- ton authorizing payment of his sa l. ary.
 Fresh complications have devcl- Opcd in the carpenters tanglc. Mr. Parsons received a majority of the votes at the annual election in June, but Mr. Gerety's forces allcgc that the voting was illegal as Mr. Par sons name was not printed in on the ballots, but written Tn by the mem bers. In addition, the Gcrety adhcr- cnts are now claiming that MT. Par sons is not eligible, as they say, he has not been employed as a carpenter in the last year.
 It is understood that there is pro- vision in the carpenters Constitution that members elected business agent must have been employed "at the trade" for the year prior to election. Mr. Gercty's packers intimate that although Mr. Parsons has been work ing as a carpenter he has been doing small jobs for himself and hence is contractor rather than an active car pentcr. MT. Parsons supporters ac- cusc the opposition of attempting 10 use technical arguments and say that the legal business agent is the one elected by majority of the votes, In the meanwhile, both men are ac- ticely engaged in performing the duties of business agent.

 This jumped 10 32,08o,o 900 at the beginning of 1920, the latest date for which the International Labor Office Ot the League of Nations has been abel to obtain complete figures.

WILSON REFUSED
 TO CANCEL DEBT
Letter in Reply to Lloyd George Made Public By Senator
 Lodge.

Washington, July 72.-l'rc~idcnt Wilson wrote Premier lloyd George last October that il Was "hi4hIy inI- probable that either the Congress or popular opinion oi this country will ever permit d cancellation Oi any part Oi the debt of tIrc British government 10 the United States in order 10 in ducc the British government 10 remit Britain or France or any other oi the ullIrd governments"
 An excerpt from Mir. Wilson's let ter, replying to one written by the British premier two months previous in which reference Was made to eug- 8cetiOna that the intcr-aIIicd debt, be for the first time through insertion in the Congressional Record by Senator Lodge, Mr. Lodge explained that il was submitted to the foreign relations committee OI which he is chairman by David S. Houston, secretary Of the treasury under Mr. Wilson.
 Inc British premier further was informed by President Wilson that it also was highly improbable that either Congress or the American pub lie "WOuld consent 10 cancellation or reduction in the debt of any of the allied governments as an induCcmcnt towards a practical settlement of the rcparation claims" Mir. Wilson point cd 10 past rcjcctions of the suggcs- ton Of intcr-g governmental debt can Ccllation and added:
