MEMPHIS. TENN.

Reports regarding the number of
men working in Memphis railroad
shops were conflicting yesterday. The
executive committee of the six crafts
authorized statement that not a man
was working in any shop or round
house in the city. They claimed all
foremen have quit because they were
called on to do mechanical work per-
formed by men who had walked out
and that except for two foremen re-
naming in Illinois Central shops, all
others had quit.
On the other hand, railroad officials
said yesterday evening they were in a
better position than they were We'd

tions all trains were operating. most
of them on time.

THE OUTLAW" ORDER

The "outlaw" order issued by the
labor board Moday followed a state
ment by Mr.. Hooper last week that
"blood would be upon Mr.. Jewell's
head" for ignoring the boards order
to appear before 1t and justify his
strike order. The order follows:
"Be it assumed that the employees
who leave the service of the car
rier because Of their dissatisfaction
with any decision of the labor board
are within their rights, it must also be
conceded that the men who remain in
the service and those who enter it
anew are within their rights, that they
are not strikebreakers seeking to inn
pose the arbitrary will of an employ
er or employe; that they have the
moral as well as legal right to engage
in such service of the American pub
lie 10 avoid interruption Of depend
able railway transportation and that
they are entitled to the protection Of
every department and branch of the
government, state and nation"

AMERICAN
PICNIC BIG EVENT
Big Crowd Enjoyed the Days
Sports, Barbecue Dinner,
Fine Music and Ball Games
mo Accidents Marred the
Happy Celebration.

The big Fourth Of July ce.ebr.. ton
and picnic held in Wagner's G owe
south of town last Tuesday was a
wonderful success. The picnic was
given under the auspices and direction
of Curtis E. Pass Post, American
Legion. The heavy rain Monday af-
ternoon and night made the streets
soft and muddy and caused the aban-
donment of the proposed parade from
the City Park to the picnic grounds.
However, Tuesday morning was crisp
and bright and the day proved ideal
for picnic.
Fully 1000 or 5000 people were
on the grounds to enjoy the occasion.
Following fine speech by Atty. Bry-
ant of Oxford, came the big barbecue
dinner. Dancing and two ball games
were the principal entertainment of
the afternoon, Water Valley ball
team losing both games to the Oxford
boys. The dance continued until late
in the night. Ed Byers and his jazz
orchestra furnished the dance music,
while Henry's Band furnished music
for the general picnic.

WASHINGTON, D. C.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Settle-
ment of the rail shipments strike is
near, it was indicated in official circles
today.
W. H. Johnston, president of the
International Machinists Union, Off
cially declared that the shop men had
reconsidered and were now willing to
appear before the railroad labor
board. To date the striking machin-
lists have refused to deal with the
labor board, charging that it is biased
in its views.
Railway executives stated that
they are anxious to go before the
railway labor board, declaring that it
is the only manner in which they will
deal with the shopmen. Both sides
are now awaiting an official call for
the reopening of the case, which they
expect within the next "a hours.
"We believe the strike is effective" /"
declared Mr.. Johnston, 1--WE refused
to deal with the railway labor board
because. they declared that we were
outlawed and we did not believe we
could expect fair deal there. They
have now modified their previous
statement, and if it can be established
that they are authorized to speak for
the railroads we will treat with them.

State of Mississippi,
County of Yalobusha.
TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS OF YALOBUsHA
COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI:
We, committee appointed by the
citizens of this County and ratified by
your Honorable Board for the pur-
pose of Investigating and working
with your Board in efforts to secure
improved highways through our
county, beg leave respectfully to make
our report to your Board, covering
our Investigations and actions in the
matter of improved highways to date.
We find that the citizens and tax
payers of our several supervisors dis
trict are uniformly in favor of build
ing improved highways. We have
talked with large number of our
citizens and taxpayers and find that
the opposition to the construction
of improved highways comes almost
solely from the past experience-that
is to say-those who object to the
construction of improved highways
do so for the reason that in the past
great deal of money has been ex-
pended for roads and the work done
and paid for was not of a permanent
nature. If the money to be raised
for road construction is placed in the
construction of first-class hard sur
face road and the construction work
is properly done and value received
therefor the people are almost unani-
mously in favor of building improved
highways.
Realizing this demand is reason
able and is wise that no money be ex-
pended extravagently, we have en-
couraged this view and have given
our assurance that, as far as we are
concerned, any money spent on the
road construction would be spent
economically and value therefor would
be received. We have also given our
assurance that your Honorable Board
would uphold this view Of the mat
ter and had agreed TO construct roads
under the following scheme:
To apply for Federal aid for the
construction of road running north
and south through our county;
To construct, with Federal aid.
graveled highway under the super
vison of the State Highway Depart
ment and Federal Government;
To permit the State Highway De-
partment to maintain this highway
free of cost to the county, when con-
structed.
After investigating the method to
be usd for raising funds for the con-
struction Of the highway, we have de-
cided that the provisions Of Chapter
277 of the Laws of Mississippi Of
1920 will give US the authority 70
raise funds mad construct this high
way. The provisions Of this act,
when explained to the people of the
county are generally approved.
Your committe, after meeting with
the citizens Of the cOuny and after
discussing the matter with members
of your Board, came to the eonclu-
sion that petitions for the issuance Of

Few Walk Out a. Water valley


Out of 2s7 men on the shop pay
roll about 40 walked out Saturday.
Some of the men who quit Saturday
went back to work Monday, while
most every day since there have been
men walk out while others have gone
to work. The railroad company has
been calling back men who were sus-
pended and in most cases the men
go to work when called.
Everything is quiet and no trouble
of any kind has arisen. The railroad
company claim they have all the men
they need and that they repeatedly
turn down applicants for work.

op,p,on of this point has been ably
voiced by the sentiment OF Atty
W. F Spikes of St. Paul Neb.
formerly of PocahOu'as' who' IN a
letter to Judge on August %, SAID
IN part;
"Permit me to say that ! sincere
iy believe that the public attitude
of contempt for the law and law en-
fercement has been caused, not by
pro.ibiuon, but by the use of ridi-
cule employed through the press by
the liquor element. 1t is the hope
no doubt, of this element, that the
people as a whole will become so
alarmed at this attitude OF so many
toward the law, that public opinion
will finally result in the repeal OF
the law against liquor.
"However, we prof. ibitionists are
not unmindful of the fact that The
present liquor law was passed and
became a law without the support
of, and in many Instances opposed
by, the press. And we are hopeful
that the present Volstead Act will
remain unchanged on the statute
books, despite the efforts of yours
and other powerful publications.
The very fact that you have aban-
doned reason and are resorlug to

the stand you are taking.

Judge, I, humorous weekly, pub
Ished 10 New York and boasting
over a million readers, has taken a
very decided stand IN favor Of light
wines and beer. One of the points
on which they place particular stress
is that prohibition Is instlgating an
utter disregard of law and order.
On this subject they say, IN part:
"Judge's conviction Is that the
legallzation Of light wines and beers
as5everages IN the interest of health,
Temperance, morals and law enforce
ment is an essential part of our plat
form Of life, liberty and the pursuit.
OF happiness, Prohibition of health
full beverages has gwen birth to
boo,legging and worse; is resulting
IN an utter disregard Of the laws of
the land by,Americans of high stand
ipp. The man of wealth hardly re-
allzes that prohibition Is here but
the man of.small means knows 1t,
and resents it, just as the rich man
should"

over the nation shows an amazing
decrease of crime since prohibition
has been IN effect. Equally amaz-
rnp would he the increase IN the nun

It has not occurred to the editors OF

and the constitutional platform OF

The passage Of the Act limiting
the sale OF narcotics gave rise 10 a
tremendous increase IN the number
Of dope peidlers in this country,

ably considered advocating the re
