sold 35 of these cars in three months
in 1917. The price up to September
16, 1917, was 1925. On October 10,
1917, the price was $715, so you will
see that $809.O5 for the Chevrolet
cars here is not "prewar prices" by
almost $3.50. No automobile prices
have yet reached the prewar level
and it IS unfair to other dealers to
claim they have when they have not.

DR.. P c. POPE
Is DEAD FROM
CUNSHOT WOUND

DIR. Paul G. Pope, age 80, of Gre
NADIA, Miss, who was accidently sho,
by his brother while on a hunting trim
Friday, died at the Baptist Hospital
at Memphis Monday afternoon at 8
o'clock.
DR.. Pope was shot just below the
right knee. Gangreen developed, but
the infection was removed by an am
putation. Thrombosis, a blood clot
disease, became apparent Sunday and
this was the direct cause of the death.
DR.. Pope was probably one of the
best known physicians in Mississippi,
although he graduated from Wander
built University only six years ago.
He received his literary education
at Mississippi College.
Since his graduation at Wander
bilt he had been engaged as head of
the rural sanitation department of the
state board Of health. His work was
most efficient and the department is
was considered to be one of the most
beneficial under the supervision of
the board of health.
In connection with his position with
the state he was employed as the Mis-
eicSippl representative OI tuo NOcke-
feller Foundation.
He enjoyed a wide acquaintance
with physicians not only in Mississip-
pi, but in adjoining states, and was
considered among the best authorities
on matters pertaining to public health.
When the rural sanitation depart
ment was placed his charge. there
was practically no organization. Since
that time he has formed splendid or
ganization with 33 field physicians
at his command.
He was born in Jackson, Miss, and
was member of an old and splendid
family. He has seven brothers.
Surviving him are his widow, Mrs.
Virginia Borum Pope, and an infant
daughter, May Burrows Pope.
The body was forwarded to Jack
SON at midnight for burial.

CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-Labor last
week laid down barrage of warm
ings, requests, proposals and ora.ory
before the railroad labor board, in a
supreme effort to check the railway
executives drive against the national
agreements. This drive, it was de-
clared by B. M. Jewell, chairman of
the employees committee, was merely
g smoke screen to obscure the funda-
mental issues at stake, which, the en-
ployes have declared, were the open
shop movement and an attempt to
crush organized labor.
The present sessions of the board
marked the continuation of the rules
hearing which has been under way
since Jan. 10. Mr.. Jewell requested
that the employees be given until Mar.
IA to complete their rebuttal to the
specific objections to national agree
ments made by the railroads as alter
native against further delay. Mr..
Jewell also suggested that the whole
points taken up in conference be-
tween the carriers and employees.
Collective bargaining, as the cs-
peclal proCege OF organized LABOR, was
hailed as the principle, immediate ap-
plication of which would settle rail-
road controversies and avert any
threatened crisis.
In defending this principle and the
right of the employees to act and
speak through national organizations,
Frank P. Walsh counsel for the broth
erhoods, uttered solemn warning
to this board and the country" in a
flood of oratory that occupied the en-
tire afternoon.
Protest was Immediately entered by
r. T. Whittier of the carriers commit
tee against postponement until March
IA and to proposals Of further con-
ferences That time had "long gone
by" he said, land made the counter
charge that no attempt had ever been
made for conference prior to bringing
the request for continuance of the a
greements before the board. He
declared that the question now faced
was merely whether these agreements
should be continued.

BILL WOULD OVER
RIDE FORMER NON
UNION CONTRACT
Is Designed to Offset Effect of
Hitchman Case Upholding
Supreme Court Decision on
Validity of Individual Com
tracts.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Approv-
al was given today by international
labor union heads and their attorneys
to tentative draft Of bill to legal
ize the right of labor unions to or
ganize all fields of industry despite
individual contracts between employ
ers and employees prohibiting union
membership:
The bill, which is designed to off
set the effect of the United States
Supreme Court decision in the Hitch
man coal and coke company case, up
holding the validity of these individ-
ual contracts, will be submitted at
once to the executive council of the
American Federation of Labor for
approval.
The Union heads also instructed
their council to ascertain if it would
be possible to ask for a rehearing Of
the case of the Duplix Printing Press
Company against the international
Association Of Machinists, in which
the United States Supreme Court
handed down a decision declaring Sec
ondary boycott by labor unions ille-
gal. The attorneys were directed to
proceed with their application unless
the time limit allowed by the court
had expired. The Hitchman decision,
which also made labor unions subject
to monetary damages, if any employe
joined union organization in viola
ton of his contract, which stipulated
that he would not join any labor or
ganization, was handed down by the
supreme court in 1918.
International unions which have
joined in the fight to have the indi-
vidual contracts declared illegal and
make unionization of such workers
possible are the United Mine Workers
of America, the Moulders' Union, the
Amalgamated Association of iron,
Steel and Tin Workers. International
Association of Machinists and the
Street Railway Workers. Their heads
were called in conference here by
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, and
today's action is believed to be one of
the opening wedges in the proposed
program of the federation of counter
anti-union legislation and the "open
shop"
John L. Lewis, president of the
mine workers, in addressing the con-
ference, declared that the Hitchman
decision had been ga great menace ia

leap to the mine workers, organization
In unionizing the West Virginia coal
fields.
"Upon these so-calley yellow dog
contracts legalized by the Hitchman
decision" Mr.. Lewis said, "the oper-
ators had gone into the courts and OBJ
tanned injunctions preventing organ
i1ation of their employees"
