have developed. What has been done
IN the copper industry should be pos

Physical Condition

(. In other respects. what is your

railroads az the present time2
The physical condition OF the rail-
roads at the present time can perhaps
be described by tho expression get

Miss Oetzels Work is
Highly Recommended

Miss Mamie Oetzel, field secretary
for the Greenville County Tubercu-
losis association, was complimented
for the excellent work accomplished
during the past year by the board of
directors in annual session in the
court h1urse yesterday morning.
The board decided at this meeting
to disc Htinue during the summer
months the educational program
which has been carried on by the field
secretary during the past year and
instead the field secretary will devote
all her time to securing the names of
all tubercular sufferers in the county
for the purpose of finding some means
Of providing treatment for everyone
infected with this disease.
The program outlined by the county
health officer for educational work i'r
preventing the spread of tuberculosis
was endorsed by the board and the
field secretary for the tuberculosis
association was requested to cooperate
with the county health authorities in
this work.
The report of the field secretary
showed that much progress was mad>
during the fiscal year ending April
30th, in the preventative work and
that scores of people were interested
in the work of preventing the spread
of the disease. Floyd Hughes, leas-
urer of the association, stated in his
annual report that the finances of the
association were in good shape and
that the work for the year has been
carried on economically.
The Importance Of greater facilities
for the treatment of tubercular pa
tients in the county was brought out
in discussion by l.. P. Hollis, chair.
man of the board, who declared that
it was his belief the association should
devote all its energies during the
summer months at least, to the work
of securing a larger sanitarium The
board elected Stanley kyan as per-
manent secretary of the association.

Cumber Of the finance committee,
with the accompanying report plac-
ing the cost to the government at

43 years from next January 1. The
approximately $25O,O00, 900 less than

XSyFknow the pledges that I made
during the campaign: they are fresh
in your minds, and there is no use OF
repeating them here now, but permit
me to say that I fully intend to carry
out those promises, if the aldermen
give me their support, for without
their support / can do nothing, and
then, if you do not give me and the
aldermen and the police your support,
we can do nothing, but I believe that
the good citizens of Union are be-
hind us, and therefore am optimistic
about the future welfare of our city.
"May not pause just here to thank
that fine body of men, about 500
strong, for the resolutions that they
passed last Sunday afternoon at the
First Baptist church and say that if
they live up to their promises as well
as I do to mine, am sure we are
approaching new epoch in Unions
history.
1t is said that brevity is wit and
that much talking and action do not
go together. I desire my administra-
ton to go down in history as one of
action and not words, and, therefore,
shall begin by making this, my in.
augural address short.
II thank you again for the trust
that you have placed in me, and ask
you for your hearty cooperation
throughout my administration"
The proceedings were brief, but in.
teresting, and the new mayor and
city council are now in charge Of the
city's affairs. There was no meeting
of the council last night. There will
be a meeting tonight at which it is
probable that the police force and
other city employees will be chosen.

Following the release of the ballots
by the executive council of the six fed
Grated shop crafts here today, inter.

letter to all locals urging immediate
action on the ballots.
"This is time for action and not talk

Every ballot is desired to be in Chi,
cago at the earliest possible woment
and in no case later than June 80.
While the ballots are marked return
able June 30, every local lodge should
rush the return of the ballots as soon
as the vote is taken, and if it is hu-
manly possible, all ballots should be
in Chicago before June 25, 1922, thus
making it possible to advise the mem

CHILE AND PERU
UABLE TO AGREE

Washington, June (By the Asso-
ciated Press).-The Chilean Peruvian
conference brought its differences to
so delicate a stage today that some
of those in closest contact with the
negotiations conceded privately that
only mediation by the United States
could avert an open break.
Chile, replying at last to the Peru
Wan proposal for arbitration of the
sovereignty of Tacna and A,ica,
maintained her traditional determira-
tion that a plebiscite must be held in
the disputed provinces as provided in
the treaty of Ancon and consented
only to arbitrate the conditions un-
der which the election should be acr-
ried into effect.
The Peruvians not only fatty re-
jected that counter proposal, but de-
clined to transmit it to their gov
ernment. Charging again that the
provinces had been denuded of Pc
ruvians since the date in 1894 origin
ally fixed for a plebiscite, Peru
Wan spokesman declared to accept
the chilean plan would be nothing
short of "a humiliating and shameful
surrender for Peru"
Confronted thus with a situation
which had all the outward appear
ances of a deadlock the delegations
adjourned their joint session without
date, each side declaring that the
next move must come from the other
side.
The only point on which an agree
ment was reached was that the Unit
ed States should be the arbitrator,
should a method of arbitration hence
forth be found. That suggestion was
made by Chile in her counter pro-
posal and Immediately accepted by
the Peruvians.
In some quarters there was dis
position to look upon this sole affir-
native result of the four weeks -
negotiations as opening the door for
mediation at once by the Washing
ton government. No step to ask for
an exercise of good Offices" had been
taken tonight, however, and state de-
partment officials remained quiet as
to their intentions. There were many
evidences, however, that should both
sides show their willingness, Secre-
tary Hughes would step in and try
to, bring the conference back to a
