their energies and time in blocking

Such are the outstanding factors
in the political battle front as
the new session of congress gets
under way
It's war. No other word describes
it. 1t has all the trappings and ac-
cunterments. Everything is figured
on the basis of tactics, of strategy,
of proper maneuvers and effect on
the general campaign.
Even the high explosives are
there-oratorical, perhaps, but still
explosive.
The objective?
By the progressives: Capture of
controlo f the voting strength in the
Republican party before midsummer
of 1924.
By the Democrats, who in this
campaign are an allied and asso-
ciate" force with the progressives:
Division of the Republican ranks in
1924.
By administration Republicans:
Maintenance of their control on the
G. o. P. machine and its protection
from being wrecked.

All Industries Are Opening Up Ii
Full Swing And Work is
Plentiful E.veFvwhepe

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-The
Department Of Labor, in an official
statement today, summarizes It's Mo-
vember canvass Of business condi--
tions in the following terms:
Expansion of employment
throughout the nation has been the
greatest since January. Further ex-
pansion was prevented by inadequate
rail transportation. Employment
gains in iron and steel were almost
equaled by the advance in tobacco,
textiles and metal products other
than iron, and steel"
The statistics are gathered from
laps firms in $50 principal industrial
cities. These firms had inservioe
November 30, 44,653 more men chan
on October 81 Specifically regard
ing Georgia, the report follows:
"General-Employment sitpat!o.i
is fairly steady, cotton mills made
large increase in forces. Siight ia-
crease labor mill employment noted.
Increase made ii all liz
dustries, except lumber, which Is
holding steady. Influx Of Northara
transients has been taken care OF,
although slight surplus Of unskill-
I'd labor obtains, encouraging in
/ crease in employment made in food
and kindred products, iron and steel,
vehicles and miscellaneous industries.
+ Workers well occupied in textiles,
lumber, laundries and chemical IN
dustries. Tremendous building pro-
pram has smashed all records.
Observation-Disclosures state of
employment prevails. Majority of
plants on full time. Decided increase
in cotton mill employment and small
but encouraging INCREASE in iron and
steel, stone and clay, and glass prod
ucts, and miscellaneous industries.
Augusta - General employment
better. Marked additions in textile
employment. Small increase of
workers in paper and printing, stone,
clay and glass products, and miscel-
laneous industries. Majority Of plants

Savannah Industrial employ
ment improving. Railroad labor con-
troversy still existing and affecting
employment. Surplus of clerical
workers still prevails. Railroad con-
struction Improvement amounting TO
S3,000,000 is under way and will ab-
sorb about $500 workers.
Macon - Employment situation
decidedly better. Two cotton mills
suspended through lack of material
and scarcity of labor are expected

FIRST ADJOURNMENT
FOR EIGHT DAYS.

LONDON, Dee. 11.-(By the AS
sociated Press.) Adjournment of
the Allied premiers' conference to-
night for 8 days in order to avert
an open rupture between the Brit
ism and French over the question
of German reparations has been vir-
tually decided, it was learned. The
British cabinet rejected to measures
of force for Ruhr upon which Pre-
mier Poincare insisted. Premier
Bonar Law told Poincare that the
British public opinion is overwhelm-
ingly opposed to military action
against Germany.
The only optimistic views express
ed by those identified with the con-
ference of the Allied premiers were
voiced by Benito Mussolini, the Ital-
ian premier, at meeting with the
newspaper representative He adj
mitted that the conference was hav-
ing serious and difficult discus
sions," but was hopeful that set
tlement would be reached in a few
days. If such an agreement was
reached, he added, it would render
the Brussels conference almost need
less, since all that would be neces-
sary was meeting of experts to
work out the details.
Signor Mussolini revealed that he
had submittedsto the conference the
Italian plan for settlement,
prepared by himself and thai it had
been discussed. He said its principal
feature was reduction of the Ger
man reparations indemnity in return
for cancellation of the Allied debts
The plan was. in two parts, the first
reviewing the general financial posi-.
ton of Germany today, the second
giving details Of the proposals re.
CURED from Germany, but there
would be no military penalties.
Speaking generally, Mussolini de-
clared that the questions Of repara.
tions and inter-Allied debts were
definitely linked together in his plan
Asked concerning the attitude of the
United States on the question, he re
piled:
'The United States is out of it."
He confirmed that the Allies were
united in rejecting the German note,
and emphasized the need of haste in
arriving at decisions owing 10 .he ex-
piration of the moratorium in mid
January.

LABOR MEETS

CLEVELAND, Dec. IL (By As

ence for Progressive political action
opened here with representatives Of
labor, farmer-labor and national non

litical action. Most of the opening

into special session by the president.
That will be too late to redeem any
pledges for quick relief they gave
their constituents.
But with two sessions of congress
following election before they take
their seats-sessions Of the old con-
gress in which the administration
majority is overwhelming-it is pos
sible for repudiated ''lame duck"
members, with eyes on patronage
plums within the presidents gift, to
put through measures which the
voters directly opposed in electing
the new congress.

That the administration will
bend every effort to block the
proposed reform is assured by
the immediate def of President
Harding, voiced at the White House.
The president let it be known that
he believed one of the greatest in
spirations of the founding fathers"

forcing the fighting on these propo-
sails, and thus divertihs administra.
tion concentration OH the subsidy and
other pet bills, the progressives also
have grabbed the initiative in the bat
tie over the direct primary.
In the face of an organizing move

chiefs, for the abolition of primaries
and the return to machine nomina-
tions in party conventions, the pro-
gressive group, instead Of being con

Of the sale Of the Alcazar Theater,
owned and operated for the past
10 years by Z. McCord Prather,
10 Emory Rylander, representing
The Rylander Theater, final de
tails Of the sale having been com
pIeted Saturday, Dec. 9.
The sale of the Alcazar property
was made first by Prather to W. E.
Taylor, formerly connected with the
Fashion Shop, and who recently ac-
cepted a position as manager of
one of the large department stores
operated by the j. C. Penney Co., Of
New York City.
Learning that the Alcazar had
been Sold to Mr. Taylor plans were
set on foot to bring about a resale
Of the property, with the result as
announced above.
No announcement has yet been
made concerning future plans for
operating the Alcazar Theater, but
it will be closed temporarily, Mr.. Ry-
lancer says, until permanent
plans are worked out and decided
upon.
Mr.. Prather has not completed his
future plans, but stated today that
he would enjoy a much earned va
cation before again entering bust
ness.
In an interview this afternoon, Mr..
Prather said: 81 feel that | shall
never, be able to express my sincere
appreciation to the people Of Ameri-
Gus and this section for the many
hundreds Of kindnesses shown me
and my theater during the time l have
been connected with it.
1T has ever been my aim to give
the public the very best in me, and
to this end | secured only those pic
lures which | felt they would appre-
ciate and encourage by their pat
lonage. 1hls patronage mas Deeu
all anyone could desire, and | give
up the Alcazar with deepest regret,
ceiling that I shall thereby be forced
TO relinauish, a business friendship
which has meant much to me.
"The little kiddies have enjoyed
my theater, and that means much
to me, especially. They are an ac-
curate barometer of criticism. If you
please, they show their deHght;. #
not, they place the blame where It
belongs.
MY future plans are not yet cop-
)eted, but no matter what they may
', the memory of. my pleasant asso-
,,ation with the business public here
will hace its influence in any other
work which | may undertake"

That, is the situation administra-
tion forces face at the final session
of the Sixty-seventh congress.
Charged primarily with enactment
of the ship subsidy bill, in addition
to enactment of routine appropria-
tion bills, ships ubsidy lost the spot
light within two days after the ses-
sion opened.
This was due to an aggressive
counter-offensive, led by anti-admin2
istration Republicans, demanding re-
forms in the manner of electing
presidents, in the time of converting
newly elected congresses and in
performance Of government more
closely to the peoples demands.
Most important Of these propo-
sails is that which would wipe out
the electoral college and permit di-
rect voting for the candidates for
president, following their selection in
popular presidential primaries.
Second only to this is the propo-
sition that congress elected in
November should take office the fol-
lowing January instead of 13 months
later, in December Of the following
year, as the constitution now pro-
