That Pertinent Question"

According to the reports in to-
days papers the candidates. for
Governor were asked at Walhalla
yesterday that pertinent question
referred TO in this paper yesterday,
to-wit: Did you vote for James
NJ. Cox and the Democratic ticket
in l920?"
According to this same report all
except one Of the candidates an
swered the question in the affirm
ative. This exception was Former
Governor Blease.
If Former Governor Bleas's
voted for James NJ. Cox, Presi
dental nominee. and supported the
Democratic ticket in 1920. why
did he not say SO?
What is 4 Democrat in South
Carolina anyway?
Do the white Democrats of
South Carolina want Governor
with Republican sSmpathies?
1t strikes us with renewed force
that these are very pertinent ques.

INCREASE
IN WAGES

Chicago, Aug. % tBy the Asso-
ciated Press The rising tide OF
prosperity has not only wiped out
the unemployment Of q few months
ago but has created shortage OF
men with an accompanying in
crease in wages. according to en-
ployment agents, railway officials
and manufacturers tonight.
One evidence Of this, they said,
was 10 be found in the raise in pay
announced for employees Of the
United States Steel corporation to-
day. Employment agents COM
planned that there was scarcity
of both railroad labor and farm
hands and said that as a result
higher wages were being offered.
One railroad official attempted to
show that the steel companies were
being forced to pay higher wages
because of the wages paid for the
same class of labor by the railroads
acting under authority Of tle rail
road labor board.
While common labor in the steei
mills here is receiving 80 cents an
hour at present, he said, section
hands consisting of common labor
on the railroads are receiving max
imum Of 35 cents an hour in the
Chicago district. These mainte'
nance of way men, he said, ever
with the decrease in wages author
lied by the railroad labor board
and effective July /, are still re-
ceiying five cents an hour more
than the common labor in the stee!
! mills.
While the increase granted steel
I workers largely Will equalize this
he pointed out the maintenance oi
way workers have a wage case in
volving all Class I roads coming
before the labor board August q:
when their leaders Will ask that
the wage cut of July l be recon.
sidered and that an increase b:
granted. the expectation being taat
they will ask that the old rate with
a maximum of 40 cents for this
district be restored.
A number of railroads, he said,
have offered no resistance to this
action and apparently do not ex.
! pect to do so. Practically all roads
| he said. waived the provision re.
quiring 80 days notice before wage
cases can be submitted to the board
indicating a willingness to aid TIN:
employees in a readjustment upward
Of wages to this extent.

| Washington. Aug. 22.-Congress
was ready tonight TO rush through
+ its first stage tomorrow bill rec
commended by the president for the
creation of a federal commission to
get all the facts relating TO the
coal industry and on which miners

resented.
1 Two bills, slightly different in
some essential provisions, We're re-
ported, one to the senate and the
+! other to the house. The Winslow
measure, introduced Monday, will
!! be taken up by the house tomorrow
under a special rule. giving it the
right Of way. There was an intima-
| ton that the Borah commission bill
ordered reported to the senate by
/ its labor committee of which Sena-
! tor Borah is chairman, might also
| be called up tomorrow, but there
was possibility that the senate
would delay consideration until tho
! house had acted.
| While the general view was that

were rumblings OF an impending
fight. to be led by Representative

of a fact finding commission bill.
now on the house calendar which
stipulates that both miners and
operators shall have equal repre-
sentation on the commission.
An authorized spokesman for the
administration declared at the
/ White House during the day, how
ever. that the president was op-
posed to commission composed
!! in part Of mine owners and miners
| The Winslow bill would make them
! ineligible for membership, but the
Borah measure would leave their
selection to the president.
Advised of the stand of the pres
ident and the committee. John l..
Lewis. president of the United
Mine Workers, took a hand in the
controversy. in telegram from
Philadelphia to Representative
Bland. Mr.. Lewis declared that the
! Cleveland conference agreement
| provided for equal representation
on an investigating committee and

posed to disregad their rights and
! privileges in making an independ-
ent inquiry responsibility Will lie
with those who recommended such
action"
Meanwhile work proceeded on
the draft of emergency legislation
to control coal prices and to pro-
vide for equitable distribution of
fuel. Word reached house leaders
this morning that the bill would be
submitted tomorrow 20 the presi-
dent for approval by the coal COM

mittee, two plans were proposed.
one giving added powers to the In

orators to fair prices. The other.

suggestion of the president for use
of funds by a specially created

happen now rests wholly upon it.

in June for a strike to establish a

 The annual school election will be held throughout the state on the third Saturday in May. This lis one of the most important elections during the year and un- fortunately greater indifference is shown toward it than any other. It is important that the best citizens possible, both men and women. be elected as direct ors for the administration of the school affairs. It is also import ant that an adequate tax be lev jed for the support of the schools. The past two years have been trying times for the schools of Arkansas and many of them hay been able to run only through voluntary taxation and by the adoption of some other temporary eXpedient which has proven very unsatisfactory. In some in- stances schools have been closed altogether or the terms have been cut short, It should be the pur- pose of all people to register their approval of the maximum tax of l2 mills in every district of the state so that the schools may be provided for as fully as possible under the law as it stands and that impetus may be given the campaign now being conducted to remove the limit from taxa ion for school purposes upon the vnto ofth oip dividnol diotc;ot Ev
