Oliver And Valentino
Railroad Craftsmen
Back From Chicago
There May Be Nothing For Shop Men
To Do, They Say

SAVANNAH, Oct, IA mass
meeting to inform the shop-crafts of
the local railway organizations not to
strike in con junction with the trans
portation forces if the impending strike
takes place. will Re called here this
week, it was announced this morning
by Onie Oliver, general chairman OF
TIE shop crafts of the Seaboard Air
Line Railway who returned to Savan-
nah this morning from Chicago where
he has been attending the conference
of the crafts.
Not to Strike
1--WE have been instructed by our
leaders not to strike" Mr. Oliver SC
stated this morning. "We could reach
no agreement with the transportation
forces, hence we are not going to aid
their cause by walking out with them
if they strike.
AS l understand the situation we
were expected by the transportation
forces to strike but we were not going
to reap any of the benefits which
might result from a strike. In other
words I'VE were not going to have
representation in the net results of the
strike. .,~e,
Committee Acts
The grand lodge officers, executive
cimmittee, composed of Jewell, John
son, Kline. Franklin. Hines, Noonan,
and Ryan held meeting while we
were in session and decided our pol
icy. The representatives from the
various roads were then instructed as
to what action to take.
We are going to hold a 1'ass meet
ing of our craft here one day this
week. We would have held it tonight,
but found it impossible to secure a
hall.
AT this meeting the union members
will be informed at first hand of the
general situation. I intend making a
report of my trip to Chicago
Valentino Back
]. G. Valentino, president of the
Georgia State Federation of Labor
and an active member of the local
shopcraft, also returned from Chicago
this morning, he and Mr.. Oliver hav-
ing attended the meeting together.
Mr., Valentino says while the shop
craft have decided not to strike there
will be very little for them to do unless
there are engines and trains handled
by union crews to be worked on.
'1f those unions who have declared
their intention of striking do so" he
said "there will be nothing for the
shop crafts to do We may be forced
to go out. The situation is not very
clear and it will require a few DAYS
for it to develop. In this section of
the country it seems to me. shop
crafts are going out, whether the head
bosses say so or not. because the sit
uation will be such a peculiar one and
so entirely unsatisfactory if the train
crews go out"

Expressions Of opinion in regard to
the present primary law seemed to in
dictate that virtually all the trustees
were in favor of continuing the pres
ent law, although they admitted that
there were places in it that might be
remedied so as to make it more eff
fective.
The taking of The question of bond
issues to the state tax board was re-
garded as unnecessary because it is
believed by the trustees that the coun-
ty council, which now has these ques-
tons in hand, is suffi GENTLY competent
to take care of the question.
Ten township trustees and County

CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 9.-That the
jury which is to try VIM. c. Mccain
non. chief Justice of the municipal
court. charged with the second de-
gree murder of Harold G. kagy, would
be selected today was almost assured
before court opened. Eleven tenta-
tive jurors, including three women,
were seated in the box, and the pros
ecution and the defense each had ex-
ercised all but one of their peremp-
tory challenges. Because of this sit
uatiOn it also was assured that at
least one woman would be sworn as
a juror.
Sixty-siX veniremen had been eX-
amined when yesterdays session end
ed. This is one less than the total
examined before the completion of
the jury in McGannon's first trial on
the same charge, which resulted in
n disagreement. Three days were
consumed in -electing that jury.
Of ~ examined YESTERDAY, 30, in
Guiding four women, were excused
because of opinions they said they
held. Another was excused when he
admitted having known Judge Mccain
non 20 years.
Opening arguments for counsel for
both sides are eXpeced to be complet-
ed today, and the taking of the testi-
mOny begun tomorrow morning.

(Rv Associated Press)

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 9.-Although
no announcement of its coming has
been made, leaders in both houses of
the Indiana General Assembly are on
the lookout for an anti-cigarette law,
similar to those now being agitated in
several other states. The anti-toba eco
forces are said to be quietly feeling
their way on the subject among the
legislators, some of whom say they
are convinced that he plan is to in
troduce some such measure within a
short time.

There are some who expect the w. c.
7. L. to foster the move, while others
contend that the women of that organi-
cation are against any blue" legisla-
ton at this time. preferring to direct
all their energies toward aiding in the
enforcement of prohibition.
\ few of the leaders are of the opin-
ion that the bill is to be fostered by
some reform organization, as vet
unknown, made up of those who for
merly directed their energies against
liquor and by the coming of the en-,
forcement act have been left without
a subject on which to work
1t is pointed out by legislators that
agitation against nicotine is becoming
more general and that the senate of
Utah is reported to have passed an
act prohibiting the manufacture or
sale of tobacco products in any shape.
Other states are also said to have sim
liar legislation before their law making

DEMOCRATIC SUPPORT
or HARDING IS URGED
(RN Associated PreSSO

INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. 9.-Support Of
President-elect Harding in every move
that is for America is necessary to
avert another war, former United
States Senator James Hamilton Lewis
of Illinois. said here tonight in an ad-
dress before the Indiana Democratic
Editorial association. The administra-
ton of the new president must be
backed up by Democracy in every pol
icy that preparer the United States to
defend itself against foreign foes, the
editors were tod.
THE immediate duty Of the National
Democracy is to behold the European
nations in hatred of the United States
and all Asia as an enemy, said the
former senator. Let Democracy know
that the only way this country can
avert another war is by unity of &C
ton In every matter that contests for
American supremacy against European
intrigue and Asiatic attack"
Draws Inference.
Mr.. Lewis declared that 'Woodrow
Wilson is being nominated for pre6i-
dent for the Democracy in 1924 by the
adoption by the Republicans of every
international policy of the Wilson ad-
ministration.
Speaking of the indemnity fixed for
Germany, Mr. Lewis said
Democracy must enforce the policy
of this nation for which our soldiers
fought-the right of republics to live.
We must oppose any indemnity of war
vengeance of European nations upon
Germany that is directed to kill the
German republic which the United
States called into existence. Democ-
racy must proclaim to the ally and en-
envy nations alike that the United
States fought for justice that uplifts
and not for vengeance that destroys"
The meeting Of the Democratic
editors will be continued over tomor-
row with business sessions and
addresses.

OHIO MEASURE MAY.
REPEAL The SYSTEM OF
PARD0N!NG PRISONERS

COLUMBUS, Ohio. Feb. 9-Demoli-
ton of the long-established system Of
paroling and pardoning of prisoners
in the Ohio penitentiary and the Ohio
reformatory is sought by the bill Of
fered in the Ohio senate Tuesday at
the instigation of Governor Harry L..
Davis by the Republican leader. Sena-
tor Frank E. Whittemore, of Akron.
The existing state board of elem
ency, established under the admins
tration of former Governor James NJ.
Cox, is to be abolished and its place
is to be taken by state board of
pardons, to be made up Of the secre-
tary of state, the attorney general and
a layman to be named by the governor.
Into the hands of this lay member
will be committed the actual work of
the board, and he is to receive a sal
airy of $4,000 a year.
Upon the ground that the public
peace, health and safety is menaced
by the action of the state board of
clemency in releasing numerous pris-
oners upon parole from these penal in
situations an emergency clause is ad-
ded to the bill, so that it will go into
immediate effect upon enactment.
Early Control Sought
This fearsome condition, to be sure,
is recognized by the politicians as be-
ing purely academical, but it is expect
ed to serve to obtain immediate action
and permit the governor to assume
complete control Of this important
function.
All laws-many of which have been
upon the books for 80 years-relat-
ing to parole and pardon are repealed,
and into the hands of the new state
board is placed full power and make
rules finally governing these matters.
The measure was offered to the SEN
ate yesterday afternoon, out of order.
by the Republican leader, but its pas
sage will be expedited as a program
matter.
Introduction of the bill was merely
another establishment to the members
Of the senate, who are endeavoring to
adjust themselves to these sudden
eruptiOns from the executive chambers
beneath their session room.
It was expected that the pardoning
and paroling subjects would be cared
for in the new administrative code I'M
der the proposed state director of
public welfare, therefore the action
this afternoon came as a complete sur
prise.
