NO CARS RUN
In COLUMBIA
Columbia was afoot yesterday.

SolumDla was afoot yesterday.
Not street car moved from the
barns of the Columbia Railway, Gas
and Electric company and all day the
people walked. The rains descended
almost without intermission from
dawn to evening, and the citizens
walked. The tieup of the street car
system was complete and people de-
pendent upon trolley cars for trans
portation were hard put to it, the rain
adding discomfort to the inconven-
fence caused by the absence of the
cars.
Indications last night were that citi-
zens would foot it again today as no
progress was made towards a settle
ment of the differences between the
street car company and it's motormen
and conductors. The street car work
crs, following the discharge Of 81 en-
rloyees Tuesday, went on strike yes
tcrday morning shortly after mid
night, and last night A. A. Gerald,
president of the union, in response to
question, said: "The street cars
will not be operated by US Thursday.
We have nothing to add to the state
ment we gave out yesterday. l can
not say how long the strike will con-
tinue"
The Columbia Railway, Gas and
Electric company issued a statement
in which it set forth that it had lost
more than $4,000 during 1921; that
the company had dispensed with the
services Of 81 conductors; that it had
retained sufficient number of men
to operate the cars, and it also gave
cut the correspondence which has
taken place between the company and
its employees.
The strike came as a surprise yes
terday to hundreds of Columbans
who did not know that such action
was contemplated. All day, in the
suburbs, people could be seen trudging
steadily through the rain on the way
to their works, but the owners of auto
mobiles were most considerate and
many a citizen was given pickup
Pupils of the high school, many of
whom reside in the suburbs and who
| use the street cars to get to school
were also picked up by passing auto
| lists. so that they were able to arrive
at their desks on time.-The State.

Power Tax Bill
Killed BY Senate

BY vote Of 26 to 18 the senate
yesterday killed the hydro electric tax
bill following debate from Tuesday
morning until the vote was reached
at o'clock yesterday afternoon. This
is the first of the new revenue meas
ures to be killed by the upper house
and the action of the senate disrupts
partially the proposed program for
relieving the burden from visible
tangible property.
The vote was set soon after conven-
ing when Senator Hart moved that the
senate take vote on the bill at /
o'clock. This was adopted without
much opposition. Senator Hart ex-
planned that he in no way wished to
prevent any senator from speaking
to defeat or pass the hydro-electric
tax bill or any other bill, btu thought
the senate should expedite Legislation
if it ever expected to finish its work

Armfeld, former president of the
Bank of Thomasville, N. c., which
failed August %, was brought BACK
here today from Mexico City by Chief
of Police George B. W.mherly. 10
face charges of embezzlcmcnt, ab-

field had remained in the office of his

taken to Jail in default of bonds in
the sum Of $175,OOO.
1t is understood that habeas corpus
will be brought before a superior
court judge at an early date in an
effort to have the size of the bond
reduced.
In describing his arrest and return
from Mexico Armfield is alleged to
have told Sheriff Sink that II have
been through hell" and burst into
tears several times during the recital
of his experience. Armfield declared
the Mexicans who arrested him read
no warrant to. him and did not tell
why they wanted him. He was held
in communicate, he declared, the last
night he was in Mexico City being
confined in room that he said was
practically dungeon. 1t was not un-
til he was delivered into the custory
of the sheriff of Webb county, Texas,
Armfeld said, that warrant was
read to him. That official, it was stat
ed, had been provided with eXtrad-
tion papers and turned Armtield over
to Wimberly. Armfied is alleged to

MINERS MAY GIVE
DECISION TODAY

Indianapolis, Feb. 15.-Marked by
the preliminary victory of Alexander
Howat, deposed chief of the Kansas
United union miners, in his fight for
reinstatement of himself and his ex-
PEELED followers, the convention of
the United Mine Workers Of America
today abruptly stopped work, delaying
until tomorrow it's final decision
whether it would consider the expul-
sion order of International President
Lewis and other administration of
ficers.
In the stormy session today, during
which Mr.. Lewis declared that his
life had been threatened during the
last ten days, the delegates almost
lost sight of their main work, the
framing of the union wage policy, and
devoted themselves entirely to debate
of the unions international troubles.
A vain appeal was made by Mr..
Lewis to direct the delegates to the
wage question. He referred to the
threatened coal strike on April 1 as
seemingly inevitable" and pictured
the miners as vast army that was
asked to stop on the eve of battle to
"wash it's own dirty linen." He con-
tended Mr.. Howat violated the unions
law in seeking direct appeal to the
convention.
"The only issue here" said Howat
in his appeal, "is whether we are en-
titled to fair and impartial trial"
BY rising vote Of 977 to S64, the
delegates decided to consider Howats
appeal to override the administration
officers order.

Department Gives
Cost of Living Facts

Washington, Feb. 16.-Julius H.
Barnes, former wheat director, calling
attention to the rise of wheat IL cents
and corn cents in weeks period,
says: at is time to quit telling the
farmer that he is bankrupt. 1t is
time to quit telling industry that there
is no farm market. All farm selling
prices are on the upgrade"
The department of labor reports
that returns from 1,428 factories, en-
ploying more than 500 persons each
indicate that an almost per cent
gain in employment has been made
since the first of the year. Nearly
all industries, outside of steel textiles
and railroads, increased their labor
forces. In Detroit, center of the ~.
tomobile industry, the increase was
800 per cent; in Sioux City, Iowa, 81
per cent, and in San Francisco, 14.e
per cent. Chicago was listed with a
per cent improvement among 4O
cities reporting increases.
The bureau of labor statistics re-
ports that in the past 18 months there
has ben 1915 per cent cost of living
drop. A further fact comes to light
through reports Of automobile license
offices, the purchasing of new cars
being justly regarded as baromete,
of good times. Maryland reports q
ID per cent increase in January tag
sales for 1922 over the total of 1921.

BONUS IQUETIoN
REMAINS PUZZLE

Washington, Feb. 16.-Presiden
Harding informs congress that tn
general sales tax is the only feasibl,
method for raising funds for the sol
der bonus, In letter he says unles!
congress sees fit to enact the sale.
tax plans for the bonus it should b.
temporarily deferred. 1t is regarded
at the capitol hs leaving the bonus sit

fore. The senate and house is to NEE
later in the day to consider the com

Washingtons Feb. 15.-The soldiers
bonus question was today still much
in the air.
Congress was without any wort
from President Harding as to hi:
views on the subject and, meantime
the committees which have beer
handling the problem continued tc
mark time.
Among senators and representative.
generally there was considerable pri
vate discussion and conjecture with
the revival on the house side of tall
about a slashing of annual appropria.
ton bills as means of providing the
necessary finances for the bonus.
Representative Mondell of Wyoming
and some other leaders in the house
were understood to be giving thi.
proposal close study. Mr.. Mondel
called at the White House early in the
day but did not see the president. He
said afterwards that the supply meas
ures would be examined carefully t.
determine whether much of the sun
needed for the bonus could not b,
obtained from that direction.
This proposition met with consid
cradle response from members of tht
house where apparently there is {
growing desire to put the bonus bill
through. There were suggestions tha
as a result Of the agreement for {
naval holiday rs much as 100000 ,00(
could be cut from the naval bill ant
that another large sum could be savet
