vor of Both Striking Unions.
(By Associated Press.)

Cincinnati, June 19-Three factors
will win a victory for the miners and
railroad men in a common strike. if
was predicted today by John l.. Lewis,
president of the United Mine Workers
of America.
He is here to. meet tomorrow night
with the rail union chiefs to consider
joint strike action in the threatened
rail walkout of approximately one mil
lion men.
President Lewis said that the first
factor would be the moral effect of
the joint strike on the public.
The second point would be the join
ing of the forces would dislocate the
transportation systems of the nation
almost perfectly, and force immediate
settlement of the questions before
both the miners and railroad men.
The third factor, according to Pres.
ident Lewis, would be it's effect on the
industrial fabric of the nation, giving
an additional jar to the public in a
most widespread manser and increas

(By Associated Press

Canton, June 19.-Dr. Sun Yet Sen.
former head fthe Chinese govern

which shelled Canton Saturday, says
Hongkong dispatch to the Times.
DR.. Sun Yatg Sen fed from Canton
upon the occupation of the city by
the forces of General Chang Chi

fuge upon one of the warships in the
harbor.
The dispatch says that the ships
continued the bombardment of the
city for an hour at midday Saturday,
using three and six pound shot.
The firing was resumed at 4 o'clock
in the afternoon. The gunners were
apparently reckless of the lives of
civilians, firing indiscriminately.
After the firing the troops robbed
the people in the streets of the city
on the pretext of searching for arms
and ammunition.

More Than Likely That Glynn
County Convict Gang
VIII Build 1t.
GRAVEL WILL BE MATERIAL
USED IN CONSTRUCTION
Survey is Started Yesterday
Morning on the Two Mile Gap
Through Buffalo Swamp, and
Will be Paved from End Cme-
ment Road at Everett's Store.

1t was announced by members of
the county board yesterday morning
that work on the Broadfeld road will
begin within the next two weeks and
it is more than likely that the Glynn
county convict gang will build the
road, which will start at the end of
the paving near the city limits and
extend to the Darien bridge.
1t is likely that gravel will be used.
In the past this has proved to be ex-
cellent material for just the hard
wear the road will be subjected to.
1t will be twenty-six feet wide, includ-
ing shoulders, which will make the
road proper eighteen feet and it will
be rushed to completion as rapidly as
possible. The new highway will cost
in the neighborhood of $780, 900, with
government aid to the fifty:fifty ex-
tent. The funds have already been
provided for and it may be stated
that unless the state good roads bond
issue is passed, this will be the last
appropriation that will come from the
federal source.
Another project initiated yesterday
morning was the beginning of the sur
vey of the Buffalo Swamp road, dis
tance of slightly over two miles. This
VII start at the end of the concrete
road at Eyvarnft'S stOro and tha dis
tance to be covered is two miles. The
county board has not decided yet Just
what material will be used but it will
besof a substantial kind and one that
will stanG.heNvy traffic. 1t was stat
ed thatTthe convicts may also build
this road Fact of the matter is, the
county can save thousands of dollars
b. using the gang on both roads. The
work will be done under the supervis-
ion of state highway engineer and
with government engineers taking
part in seeing that the road will meet
all requirements made by federal au-
thorities. This two miles will prove
of great convenience to the scores of
cars which use it almost daily and
will ibe the means of bringing to
Brunswick people who now go else
where for shopping purposes. The be-
ginning of work on these two roads
will end the road construction provid-
ed for except the st. Simon highway.

COURTS TO STAND

Amendment and to Put 1t Be-

The Justice of the peace courts of
Brunswick will not be abolished not
withstanding the fact that a bill will
be introduced asking their abolition
and in their stead the creation of a
court which will have jurisdiction up
to five hundred dollars in civil mat
ters and misdemeanor cases on the

doubtful, even if the proposed bill
does come to a vote, if it will receive
the required number.
