as justice OF the peace at Ocracoke
for eight years. resigned year or
more ago, not having had Grim

ton. A successor has never been
elected. Mr.. Onset, who was born
at Ocracoke, says the worst crime

There are only one or two homes
here that have locks on the doors
and the keys to those that are thus
equipped are never used. Most of
the houses at Ocracoke were Who'll
ly or partially constructed with
lumber of ships which were wreck
ed on the treacherous shoals OF the
North Carolina coast. Every fam
lily here owns its own home.
Ocracoke is at the extreme
southern end Of a little island by
the same name, located about 80
miles of the mainland of North
Carolina, and is unique in many re-
spects. Ocracoke Island, which is
part of Hyde county, North Caro-
lima, is a little strip of land about
IL miles long and ranges in width
from one-half to one and one-half
miles. The population OF the island
numbers about 700. about $50 of
whom live at Ocracoke. Those who
do not live in the little town are

MORE SPEECHES
| ON. LABOR View
Federation Plans to Continue Ed
ucationai Series Obtain Speak
ers for Spring Series.

Members OF the Tri-city FEEDER
alton of Labor last night decided
to continue the series of educa-
tonai lectures and plans another
to be held the latter part of the
month The executive board will
meet next Thursday to decide on
the speakers. Three prominent
labor men have already been
brought to Rock Island this win
ter under the auspices of the T>ri-
City Trade Union Educational
league.
Outside OF routine business the
only other matter taken up by the
federation was that OF hearing the
auditing committee Of the mardi
gras, which was held two weeks
ago. The committee asked for
more time to complete its work.
Information a week ago was that
the mardi gras had proved failure
from financial standpoint. II had
been held in view of raising money
to be distributed by the Tri-City
Trade Union Relief association.

HOOVER OUTLINES GOVERNMENTS
POSITION ON THREATENED COAL
STRIKE: THINKS TIEUP CERTAIN

TwO-No wage settlement, as l
see 1t, between the union miners
and their operators can correct this
fact of the non-union mines. Again
many operators feel they cannot at
tend a wage conference because OF
the injunction issued by Federal
Judge Anderson at Indianapolis.
But the coal problem is much
broader than the foregoing. The op-
orators feel that it is due to the
high price of American coal, caus-
ed by high wages and high trans
portation costs, that we have lost
our foreign export coal trade, which
was normally 1,500. 900 tons the
month and which occasionally
reached a maximum of three mil
lion tons. All that is gone now.
England is actually exporting
coal to ports on our coast where
she has not before sold for 20 years.
Transatlantic ships no longer
bunker at our ports bat carry their
entire coal supply from the Euro
pean side.
Inventions Save Coal
Then again, the high price OF coal
during the war and since. has
brought into use great coal saving
inventions, expensive CRATES and
the like, which have vastly prevent
ed waste of fuel, but which when
coal was cheaper. were not consid
cred economically necessary. Tho
result has been to considerably re-
duce the demand for coal.
Independent ironms sters claim,
too, that the high price OF coal Is
an important factor in retarding
economic ard Industrial reconstruc-
ton, by increasing the price Of iron
products and thus keeping the pro-
Queer from buying.
Now to all this President Lewis
Of the coal miners union replies
that he cannot consent to any wage
reduction and, indeed, feels that al
increase is necessary.
For these reasons I feel a coal
strike is inevitable.

them to keep down the cost of pro-
duction and to grab of the cream OF
the trade during the past year at
the expense of the unionized mines
and miners.
The non-union operators have
been enabled to give their miners
more steady employment, while the
union miners have worked on the
average only 1872 days OF the year,
which at $3.50 average minimum
wage per day would give them but
81, 1865 a year.
But this is not the worst of it.
This average of 1872 days employ
ment has not been evenly distribut-
ed. Many union miners have work
ed far less than 1872 days, SO that
many of them have had a bare lv-
ing, others less than an existence.
Loss of business to the union
mines has naturally depressed the
operators, while the sight Of non
union miners getting steadier em-
ployment did not tend to raise the
spirits of the union miners.

The enormous sale of cosmetics

only take the money they use for
paint and powder, and buy milk for

she said. I'm their cheeks would

Miss Booth thinks moderation and
utility should be the guide when 1t
comes to clothes. Following the
style OF the Salvation army, she
says, skirts should be five or six
inches above the ground.
TOO many women today destroy
their true womanliness by immodest
dressing and they have only them
selves to blame when their charac

An elaborate observing program
was carried out at the observatory
to test DR.. fuckers theory. accord
ing to W. w. Campbell. director of
the institution. Although the pro-
gram has not been completed. DR..
Campbell said recently, the results
thus far confirm earlier conclusions
that the clocks do run faster at
night.
The program included observa,
tons of three standard clocks and
embraced list of stars whose po-
sitions are already known with high
precision. Each nights observa-
lions extended from p m. to 8

'"rhe ultimate cause of the phe-
nomenon is obscure" Dr. Campbell
said. In the observations by fun
damentaI methods, where depend
ence ia placed upon the constancy
of the clock rate through the "a
hours of the day, more or less,
these errors would reach their
maximum values OF between 0.02
and COS seconds at about six hours
from the mean epoch Of the obser-
vations."

Local Attorney Announces Candidacy for Congress-
 man From Ninth

M. B. Grace, local attorney, has an nounced as a candidate for the dem ocratic nomination as representative in Congress from the Ninth Congress sional district, and has filed his can didacy with the secretary of state.
 MT. Grace states in his candidacy and platform that he will oppose George Huddleton. incumbent, who is serving his fourth term. as represen- tative, and likewise calls attention to the fact that In 1920 he was the only candidate opposing Congress man Huddleston, receiving 1000 votes.
 Tt will be for the best interest of the people that another should be nominated and elected in his place, !" MT. Grace recites in his statements referring to MT. Huddleston.
 Rotation in office is democratic principle and as usual thing is for the best interests of the people"
 Platform Announced
 His platform states that he believes in education, suggesting the utlliza- ton of some of the money now used for battieships for educational pur- poses and thinks nations should dis arm through a league of nations or international agreement.
 Help for the soldier and x-soldier as well as the formation of bonus by taxation of the wealth of the country is approved in MT. Grace's platform.
 Among other things enumerated in the platform are:
 Opposed to Dyer anti-lynching bill; believes in state rights and local self government and that it is dangerous to centralize too much power in the federal government.
