 Early today carpenters went over the elevated lines boarding up the en- frances to the stations. The surface lines tunnels beneath the Chicago river also were boarded up and guards placed.
 There was on statement from com pAnY offices as to when an effort to resunfe. traffic would be made, but the Chicago Herald and Examiner, in copyrighted news story published today, said the strike meant a war to the f:nsh between the lines and the employees.

 Manila, Aug. 1-Joseph F. Marlas, general agent of the United States Shipping Board in Manila believes that for the benefit of Fflipinos and Am ericans coaStwise shipping regula- tions should be put in force here at once.
 .I believe" he said, '.it is possible to prove to any fair-minded Filipino that extension of the coastwise. ship ping regulations to the Philippines will benefit F'ilipinos and Americans alike
 Let us take the actual situation. Fflipinos now have no ocean ships and only a portion of the 1nter-island ships. If the coastwise regulations go into force all ships, including those in the inter-island service, will be un- der American registry; no cargo be- tween the islands and the United sells. Filipinos will have the same op- portunities as Americans to acquire and operate both inter-island and ocean ships. They can operate ships officer them, too; there is no reason to believe that with the coastwise laws extended to the islands they would not soon have an important tween the Philippines and the United States in their own hands.
 Would Help Employment.
 '"They have the same rights under the American flag that Americans have. As to seamen, their chances for employment would be greatly in creased.
 'sThe Philippines are capable of de- veloping into an important manufac- turing country, but cannot do so as long as the islands are held in the grip of foreign ship lines. Rates are generally in favor of the shipping out of raw products; for this reason alone manufacturers already established here find the going difficult.

Believe Anti.Vice
Experiment Failure

Shanghai, Aug. 22.-Shanghai's
experiment, begun some two years
ago. to eliminate commercialized vice
from the International Settlement,
has been occasioning widespread dis
cussion in Shanghair and elsewhere
by reason of recent official reports
that seem to indicate the belief that
-he plan adopted will not work.
The scheme was proposed by a vice
.oimmission. When it: was put into
operation the 800-odd establishments
of the International Settlement were
licensed and the purpose has been
TO cancel one-fifth of the total number
Of licenses each year for period Of
FIVE years-with the end that places
Of the kind would be wholly eiimin-
ated at the end of the FIVE year period.
After the scheme has been In oper.
alton two years it's wisdom seemingly
is questioned in the course Of re-
port lately issued by the Municipa,
Council. This report says the evil
anu dICSuOduI evils nave Ill uO way
decreased but have merely spread
over a much wider area with conse-
quent impossibility of any effective
police control"
This elected swift response from
local "moral welfare" forces. The
council was asked if it's statement
meant that the places closed opened
again in new quarters in the Settle
ment and operated unchecked and If
the police feel themselves unable to
cope with the situation.
Replying to these questions the Mu-
nicipal Council said that places Of
fically closed, remain closed, but that
nevertheless former occupants having
no other means of making living
continue their former lives in private
houses where they are in no sense
subject to police control.

Negroes Can Join
As Well as Whites

The campaign for cooperative mar.
keting of cotton is going steadily OF
in this county about 160 growers hay.
ing signed the contract within the
last ten days.
A meeting will be held at Gross
Keys tonight and at Black Rock in
the morning at 10:30 o'clock.
d. j. Macmillan who, with the as.
sistance of w. D. Wood, county agena
and w. B. May is conducting ths
campaign said today:
we are going ahead signing them
up and every man who signs the con
tract makes the organization jus,
that much stronger.
A great many people seem to have
an idea that this is an organization
of men. 1t is not. 1t has long arc
been demonstrated that you could not
organize farmers as individuals. We
are organizing their commodity, cot
ton. We are not particularly inter.
ested if man is a landlord or ten.
ant. What the association wants is
to sell his cotton.
"A great many people have an idea
that negro farmers cannot join the
association. This is q mistake. We
are anxious to have the negroes cot.
ton. OF course we know that in q
great many Instances the white land
lord controls the negroes cotton. But
next year that same negro may be on
landlords farm who is not a mem.
her of the association. In that case
the association will go to the land
lord and endeavor to secure his per-
MISSION to sell the tenants cotton,
paying the amount of money owed by
the tenant to the landlord.
In this way we have the opportun-
ity to control more cotton.
After all, it is this distress cotton
which has tendency to keep the
price of cotton down. And if we can
control even part of same will
help the association to get n better
price for cotton.
Arrangements have already beer
completed to handle the local cotton
temporarily. The association will
start functioning within few days.
If the cotton farmers of this county
want to help it is up to them to sign
the contract and give their moral and
practical support to the greatest
movement for the emancipation of
the Southern cotton grower.

Criticises British
Mandate Policy

Sidney, N. S. w., Aug. 22.-The
British policy Of native control in
inundated German New Guineo is
criticised by S. Sampson, former
member of the Commonwealth House
of Representatives who has just re.
turned from a visit to the islands
Mr.. Sampson says the policy of the
government is frequently one of
"sparing the rod and spelling the
child" and if continued it will make
it impossible to work the plantations
successfully.
while the German system need
not be adopted in it's entirety, an al
teration of the present system is es.
sential to make it effective" he added
TT would appear that if the general
system of soldier settlement is car.
lied out in the territories, the govern.
ment will become responsible to Ger.
many, through the aliler for between
three million and four million pounds
for the purchase Of plantations fo'
sub division and settlement. If the
borrowing of this amount is regarded

The general weather conditions at

The sings are held in the town hall
from midday until 2 o'clock one day
each week. There is an accempanist
and piano and a song leader who
acts as conductor.
Leaflets are distributed with IL or
IA choruses or songs known to every
body. The leader announces what
will be sung, gives themsa start and
off they go. There is nothing what
ever of a commercial proposition
about it.
A collection is taken as the people
pass out, and they contribute from a
penny to sixpence, according to the
amount OF enjoyment they got out of
it.
The money is used for the hire of
