FORD CLOSES HIS SHOPS
100000 MEN MADE IDLE

True to his statement that he would
close his big factories at DETROIT,
Mich, Sept. IT, Henry Ford closed Sat
urday and thus placed nearly 100000
men. directly and indirectly, on the
idle list. 1t is expected he will open
again for work not later than the
first of the year.
He closed as protestation against
exorbitant prices for coal and steel.
The closing of his plants will cause
the closing of numerous other plants
that furnished certain parts tor the
Ford factories. He claims there is
no coal shortage in fact and that the
coal barons are holding it TOR un-
reasonable prices. He stated that ne
could easily buy million tons II ne
was willing to pay the price asked.

RAIL STRIKE ABOUT OVER:
some ROADS HOLD ALOOF
Nothing Said About Seniority in Set
tiement With Twenty Roads;
Reduction Accepted.

The shopmenS' strike on the rail
roads OF lhe country was largely
brought 10 IN end in Chicago last week
( Whcp an agreement was signed bv
sixteen roads to take the striking
shopmen back as they were before the
strike. Nothing was said about dis
charging the men who had taken the
places of the strikers, but the roads
agreed TO either provide places for the
men or put them on the pay roll with
in thirty days from the date of the
settlement. After the signing by the
sixteen roads some other roads signed
up on the same terms.
A few OF the big eastern roads re-
fused to sign but did affect settle
mentS with their men along lines
agreed upon In the case of the l..
q N. road no agreement was arranged
and the road stated that strikers would
be taken back as needed, but chat they
would come back as new men. which
means hat they lose their seniority.
The road was firm in its statement
that it would protect to the last the
more than 10000 employees now work.
ing for the road Several other roads
have declined to accept the Chicago
settlement and have or are likely to
make separate agreements, with the
strikers.
Briefly stated the striking shopmen
lost pay for around IS days and in
the final settlement accepted the cut
authorized by the railway labor board.
There is very strong feeling gen.
orally in all business circles that a
great business boom is coming as the
result of the strike settlement. This
fall is expected to see very great inn
provement over the present business
conditions followed by still greater
increase the coming year. The gen

EDUCATION GIVES BIG
RETURNS IN MONEY
If You Can't Make $40 a Day, You
Lose Money to Miss High
School Education.

Let us take boy who leaves school
at Id and another who continues his
education until he is IS, and see how
both stand at the age of 26 Will the
salary made in twelve years by the
boy who left school at IA equal the
eight years salary made by the boy
who continues until he is I8?
Figures compiled by the United
States Bureau of Education show that
at rs years of age, the boy who finish
ed high school is not only getting
larger yearly salary but has made a
larger tital amount of money than
the boy who started to- work four
years earlier. Here is the proof that

Total salary till rs years Of a.

lOtdl salary tli % ySdlS VI o6e'
$7,337.5o.
At the age of twenty-five, the high
school boy was making 5000 year
more than the boy with only gram
mar school education. This is equiva-
lent to percent interest on $4,000.
From IS years of age on the salary
of the better educated boy will con-
tinue to rise more rapidly, for in fact
even at this age the increase in the
salary of the grammar school 10y
has slowed down perceptibly.
Although the wages paid now are
much higher than when these figures
were compiled, the comparison re-
mains applicable. Moreover, while
the value of high school education is
here given in terms of cash salaries,
we believe the same principles will
hold good on the farm. The farmer
with the better education and trained
mind will not only get more out OF
life but make larger farm profits.

BANK BUILDING
TO Be ERECTED
WITHOUT DELAY
Ground Broken Yesterday and Walls
Will Be Pushed to Completion
AT Once.

Ground was broken yesterday fo
the new building for the Cumberlan
Bank and Trust Company to be erect
ed adjoining the T. M. Rector res
taurnat and general store of Meas
amer Brothers. The foundation will
be put in by day labor and by thu
time this is completed it is expected
the contract will be let for the re
mainder of the work on the building
proper.
The brick have been ordered and are
expected here in few days. A build
ing committee has been appointed to
arrange for construction and look after
the letting of the contract. J. w
Buttram is to personally direct the
work on the foundation.
The building will be 3ox8o feet and
the interior fixtures will be made es-
pecial1y for the building. When the
interior dimensions are accurately de-
termined the dimensions of the in
terror fixtures will be worked out and
the order placed. All the fixtures will
be modern and of the latest and most
approved type.
c. G. Black has been selected as
Cashier and J. S. Bowden, of James
town, as assistant cashier. 1t will be
remembered that Mr.. Black opened
the First National Bank here over
20 years ago and was cashier for sew
eral years, retiring of his own choice.
He is a competent book-keeper and
banker and stands very high with
our people. TO those who do not
know Mr.. Black the Chronicle takes
pleasure in saying we have known him
for more than 20 years and have been
intimate with him for that period OF
time. He is d man of the highest in
tegrity, broad in his views, careful
business man and withal man worthy
of the entire confidence of every one.
In business affairs he acts with the
most careful and strict consideration
for the rights of every one as he
pitches every business transaction on
he big plain of exact justice to every
one.
Mr.. Bowden has been connected with
he Bank of Jamestown for several
years and only recently severed his

SAYS CAR WAS NOT STOLEN;
BUT BELONGED TO HIS SON

The following letter from J. D..
Davis, relative to the car his son
drove away a few weeks ago and on
which VIM. Stone held note, is self
explanatory.
Crossville, Tenn, Sept. ID, 1922.
Mr. S. c. Bishop,
Sir In order that you may recti-
fly the wrong you have done Roy
Davis in this weeks issue of your
paper, I desire to advise you that the
car in question was not stolen, that
the said Roy Davis had purchased
the same and was rightfully in pos
session thereof and / suggest that
you take proper steps to place the
matter right thru the columns of your
paper in the same manner in which
you did him the injustice.
Yours very truly,
J. D. DAVIS.
We wish to say in connection that
it was not our purpose to reflect un-
Justly upon Roy Davis nor upon any
person under any circumstances. The
information touching this case reached
us only few minutes before closing
up the work on the paper for last
week and in our haste it seems prob
ably that we did put a color on the
transaction that the true facts do not
warrant. That we regret and are glad
to make the correction.

.LAROR UNIONS AND
FARMERS HAVE
MUCH IN COMMON
But Farmers Want Unions to Favor
an Homes Labor Day Along
With Wages.

Farmers as faborers are trying tc
produce just as much as they can
Every farmer is proud when he makes
little more an an acre than any
1 body ever made before. And farmer.
prove themselves good servants of
the world by learning to produce
largely and cheaply.
On the other hand, as has been
suggested, many laborers in factories
and mines are taking just the opposite
position. They are trying to hold
down production. They prevent work
ers from turning out as much product
as they could.
| The result is that farmers and ev-
erybody else must pay more than is
| right for the products of these fac
tories.
The farmer is striving to make this
a land of plenty and wealth, so far as
his production is concerned. But the
men who are trying to limit the pro-
duction of labor are doing their best
to make this a land of scarcity and
hardship
Whenever it is a question of get
ting fair and just wage for labor,
farmers should side with labor. 1t
is indeed to the farmers selfish in
terest to see that labor gets its full
share of the wealth that it creates.
Laborers with good wages will buy
more literally of food the farmer pro-
duces and of the clothing made from
Al, ~ nI
On the other hand, it is just as sure
ly not to the farmers interest to have
labor -weges so high that they force
prices of goods beyond the farmers
reach. What the average American
farmer is thinking today is something
like this.
"I as a farmer wish to see good
wages for the men who mine coal,
run railways, and operate factories.
On the other hand, if these men get
exorbitantly high wages, then they
raise the price of these products so
high that I as farmer cannot buy
enough of these products to keep my
family in comfort and ] am therefore
hurt by the unduly high wages paid
to labor.
:, moreover, if labor unions hold
down the efficiency of labor SO that it
takes so percent more time than it
should (and therefore so percent ex-
cess labor cost, to make my farm
tools, or household furniture, or to
haul my freight, then organized labor
has Just to that extent increased the
prices on these things-and by reason
of increased prices has to that extent
put these things out of my reach and
forced my family to use fewer OF
hem" !
1t seems to US that the farmers of
America should say to the laborers:
1--WE want to see you get good wag-
es. You have our sympathy in every
fqht YOU make for q square deal. At .
The same time, we farmers are doing
Dur best to make as much as possible
and therefore to give you food as
,heaply as possible. Now we want to
zee you get good wages, but we also
want you to see just how much work
you can turn out in a day SO as to
make your products cheaper for us
and let us have more of them and
i've in greater comfort. We want a
basis of exchange where one days
1ard work on the farm will buy the
output of one days hard labor in the
actory. And there is no fair exchange
Until we get this. s."-The Progressive
Farmer.
