SATURDAY NIGHT

Orlando, Mares 81 - Deputy Sher

left leg near the thigh and both Sher
iff Carell and Deputy Floyd Peel had
a narrow escape from flying bullets
during a raid on Conley's still, tur-
pentine camp in the southern part of
the county Saturday night
1t was one of the most stirring
battles the sheriff and his officers
have fought since they have been on
the job and came about through the
capture of eight negroes who were
making the welliin ring at a skin
game in a camp in the woods.
Caruthers was shot with a high
powered twenty-five calibre rifle
which had been stolen from Sheriff
Farmer of Oscela the night before
the raid A few minutes after the
deputy was wounded the negro arm
ed with the rifle crept upon Floyd
Peel in the darkness and threw the
rifle muZzle in his face. Peel threw
up his left arm and diverted the
aim of the gun at the same time. COW

ultimately taking the rifle away from
him.
1t was in tthe neighborhood of
eleven o'clock that Sheriff Carel and
two deputies pulled up near the tur-
pentine camp and began to recon
hotter. The officers went to the
camp in the belief that they would
find a quantity of moonshine liquor
but instead they ran full into a game
of cards with eight negroes, men and
women, sitting in.

LIQUOR WILL Be
TRANSFERRED TO
ARMY BUILDINGS

Washington, March 81. = Great
quantities of seized liquor stored by
the government warehouses through
out the country are to be transferr-
ed to army buildings as an econo-
my measure. Assistant prohibition
commissioners made this announce
ment today upon their return from
an inspection of liquor conditions in
Chicago where preparations have
nehrly been completed for the trans
fer of millions of gallons of liquor
held bN the government in rented
warehouses into army buildings. Mr.
Jones said this step in Chicago would
mean a saving of about $1,000 year
in rentals.
The plan for utilizing available ar

was worked out by the budget bu-
reau, the war department and the
prohibition unit as a part of the bu-
reau- budget system, economics, prog

War Between Capital and Labor.
Caused By Profits Board Claims

Chicago, March 27.-Characterizing
the present situation of wage ADJUST
ment as unjust, B. NJ. Jewell, presi-
dent Of the railway employees depart
ment of the Aemrican Federation, told
the Railway Labor Board that costs
and wages should remain constant, ev-
en- to the elimination of profits, and
that until that economic basis was ac-
complished conflict between capital
and labor would continue.
Mr.. Jewell spoke of the figth against
the wage reductions sought by twen-
ty-fve railroads by the Board today.
He treated as irrelevant all carriers
arguments of lower living costs and
lower wages in other industries; as
serted the "so-caled law of supply and
demand will never afford a living
wage in a system organized according
to modern business principles" and
declared for living wage for all pro-
ductive workers of the country.
Interest and profits must not con-
tinue while the working man suffers
low wages and unemployment, Mr..
Jewell asserted in presenting his the
ory of the living wage. A guarantee
of steady earning power to the wage
Garner. even at the expense of imme-
diate profits, he added, would go far
toward eliminating these bad periods
of depressions.
"Out of the annual yield of any in
dustry," Jewell continued, three
things are being paid: Costs (includ-
ing supplies. depreciation, extensions,
taxation, etc., wages and profits. Two
of these, we say, ought to be constant,
costs (reduced to an economical fig
ure) and wages at level which will
allow full benefits of human life. in
elusive of art, literature, music, rec
reation and socability, such as are
enjoyed by the well-to-do. This leaves
profits as the sole variable factor and
frankly contemplates a situatin in
which temporarily they may have to
cease. Until that situation has been
accomplished, the conflict between
capital and labor will continue"

GREAT APPLAUSE

HE following statement issued by John H.
i Bartlett, first assistant postmaster general, will
be read with three loud cheers by many rural
residents Of Marion County who have suffered in
the past because Of non-delivery OF their second
class mall, particularly the daily paper, for which
they have subscribed, and have only been able to
get about three issues out of each week delivered.
Mr.. Bartlett says. Despite instructions for the
prompt handling Of daily newspapers many
complaints are made OF the delay In the receipt Of
this class OF mail.
This condition is Irritating to subscribers, and
inexeusable from a service standpoint. Unless
received promptly a newspaper has little or no news
value and the postal service rcsps the criticism OF
delay.
Post masters are therefore urged to see that
all daily newspapers both outgoing and incoming
are handled Immediately upon receipt in their
offices to the end that we may have a satisfied
public and an appreciatlve press"
Mr. Bartlett need not worry about The
appreciation Of the press Il he succeeds in getting
regular deliveries OF daily papers over rural carrier
routes. Loud and long have been the walls that
have poured into newspaper Offices from rural
subscribers who fail TO get their newspaper.
Carriers, in difficulties over muddy routes or bad
weather conditions, mostly during the winter
months; have a way OF sidetracklns second class
mail. Sometimes this is done for days together.
and when at last a newspaper is carried 1t Will only
be the paper Of that day, for back issues seem TO
have completely disappeared during the interval Of
nOn-deltyery.
1t is during the winter months that the farmer
wants his newspaper most badly. Isolated as he
and his family are from the dolnss of the world,
the rural carrier may be the only soul the farmer
will see besides the immediate members Of his
family for days at a stretch. He wants his paper
for which he has paid good money and he has a
right to expect its delivery. There is time to read
every word in it, there is time to discuss every item
with the homefolk, and there is certainly dark
disappointment when the rural delivery plods by
and fails to hand out the paper.
Naturally there must occur days when the rural
carrier simply cannot carry all the mail, but this is
no reason why any of 1t should be lost or discarded,
even last weeks paper. While a city man wouldn't
want it; q country man will, for he gets his news by
no other method. Every newspaper with country
subscribers will be nightly pleased with MIR.
Bartletts reminder and will hope for its repetition
often and impressirely.
