The whole movement is wrong. and is simply prompted by an element of the Amer ican Legion and .fostered by a num- Der of politicians who are looking after their political fences at home. There is nobody except this element of the American Legion that wants this legislation. It is very strange that even the politicians do not see the unwisdom of fostering 1t.

BIG FIRE AT

Sunday

terday by J. 4. Harling. manager
OF the DeSausSure farm in Sumter
county, that the state farm ware
house on the railroad had been de-
stroyed by fire.
Colonel Sanders said that the fire
was discovered about ten minutes
after two passenger trains, which
met at the station, had departed.
The warehouse was OF frame con-
Struction and had n shing!e roof. A
considerable quantity Of s d o a,
which was on q car on a side track.
was saved. The warehouse, Col
onel Sanders said, contained APP
proXimately 50 tons Of cottonseed
meal, 40 tons OF acid and 90 tons
OF soda. The value OF the house
and its contents was about $4,000.
AT this station there were two
warehouses. both the property OF

adjoining the probability was that
both We're destroyed, Colonel San

DECREASE IN

Falling Off

Columbia, March 27.-.Ar first
glance along the country roads and
in the towns and cities it seems
that there are now in operation
about as many automobiles in
South Carolina as were running
last year. but according 10 the
registration at the Offices Of the
state highway department, the
number Of cars has dropped Off
considerably. For the whole OF
last year the total registration OF
automobiles was S3,349. For this
year up 10 March 13 the total reg
istration Of cars was 63,249, a de-
crease from 1921 Of 20.l00 auto
mobiles. 1t should be borne in
mind, however; that the figures for
1922 cover only Il little over Two
months and that there are prob
ably many cars which are not yet
provided with 1922 plates and that
many cars will be bought before
the end OF this year.
The decreas, in the number of
trucks for this year, as compared
with last is 1857. Last year the

SECOND NOTE
TO ALLIES

Washington. March -. - The
American government has sent to
the allied powers another note
supplemental 10 that recently dis
patched and designed TO support its
claims for equality with those pow
ers in the payment of costs arising
from the Rhineland occupation.
The new note, copies OF which
were presented today TO the British,
French. Italian, Belgian and Japa-
nese governments by American dip
lomatic officials in the capitals Of
those nations, declared that wheth-
er or not there should be deficit
in the French account for its Oc-
cupation army costs as Of May ].
1927, the claim for equality on the
part Of the United States would
not thereby be affected.
The American government in its
supplemental note in words char
acterized by one official as plain
If not diplomatic notifies the al
lied governments that no Juggling
Of bookkeeping IS regards the
Rhincland occupation costs will
deter the United States from press
ing what it considers Il just claim.
High state department. officials
in making public the new note
explained that the original iden-
teal notes delivered to the five al
lied powers early this week stated
that according 10 information and
accounts in possession Of the
American government il appeared
that the amount due TO France for
its occupation army costs to May
had been paid in fuli. as had
costs of the armies of Belgium and
Italy. Recent dispatches from
Franco. it was said, had intimated
that the American government
made q mistake in saying that
France had been paid in full, and
the supplemental note delivered to-
day was designed TO forestall any
such suggestions.

WHAT THE
MINERS WANT
President Lewis Explains the
Six Hour Day and Five
Day Week

Indianapolis. Ind. March "a
President John L. Lewis. Of the
United Mine Workers OF America.
today gave his Interpretation OF
the miners demand for a siX-hour
day. five-day week, being q part of
any new wage agreement affect
ing the soft coal industry. IN Il
formal statement he said:
There has been SO much mis-
understanding among the people
as To the real meaning Of the posi-
ton Of the United Mine Workers
OF America with regard to the pro-
posed siX-hour day and five-day
week that ! believe something
should be said that would set the
public right on the subject. 1t has
been charged by coal operators
that the niinerY are demanding
more pay for less work. The prin-
ciple Of the shorter work day does
not mean anything of the kind.
They do not ask for the six hour
day Us the maximum but they 90
ask that they be given reasonable
assurance that they Will have rea-
sonably steady employment six
hours a. day throughout the year.
Under present conditions the
miners work eight hours a day
only small part OF the time each
year In 1921 they were employ.
ed only about 40 per cent Of full
time and were idle 60 per cent Of
the time. They We're employed
only an average Of about 125 days
1921, out of the 300 or more work
days Of the year. They cannot
make n living for their families
under such conditions. Last year
they earned an average of approx
imately 500 per man.
''The hituminous mines Of the
country have 4 capacity Of 70G,-
100000 20 500, 900. .600 tons ID year.
In normal times the demand is for
approximately 300.000.000 tons a
year If the miners had reason
ably steady employment they could
and would easily produce in six
hour day enough coal 10 fill every
possible requirement. If il can
be done in siX-hour day, why
should miners be required TO work
eight hours day only n part OF
the time?
Many years ago miners were
compelled to work ten, twelve or
more hours q day, and when they
made their fight for a shorten
ing of the work day to eight hours
they We're met with the same kind
OF fight they are now facing in
their request for a six-hour day.
But they won. and the country has
had all the coal it could use ever
since.
The Six-hour day is not 4
scarecrow. nor is it a menace 10 the
country. as some employers would
have us believe. II is simply
humane principle
