The winter varieties of apples in
Vermont this year will yield much
better crop than last wear but the
fan varieties, Mcintosh, Wealthys and
SHOWS. constitute the heaviest acre
age. Some complaints have been made
by the dropping Of the apples from
the trees in. some sections OF the
state. There have been heavy rains
throughout the state and in some sec
tions the scab is developing The
average increase for the whole state
in the apple crop is 30 per cent over

More automobiles have been regis
tered in South Carolina for the first
five months of 1922 than were regis
tered for a corresponding period in
1921, inclusive of May 81, according
to figures tabulated by the state high
way department and announced yes
terday.
For the first five months of this
year the automobile registration has
been 1858 as compared with 1880
for the same period of last year. For
the same period the truck registra-
tion shows decrease from 6,355 in
1921 to 6,322 in 1922, inclusive of

Mr.. William Coleman attended the
Wofford Alumni banquet recently
held in Spartanburg. and in the &C
count of the event, the Spartanburg

banquet, the presence of William
Coleman, of Union, was recognized
and enthusiastic alumni began to
call for Governor Coleman" Mr.
Coleman has announced his candi-
dacy for governor this year, and was
accorded an ovation. He was forced

CAR IS BLOWN
FROM TRACK

Dynamite, placed on the tracks OF
the Columbia Railway, Gas & Electric
Co., by unknown persons, exploded
under street car on the Colonial
Heights line near Smiths branch err
~ yesterday morning, derailing the
car and damaging both the car and
rails. The car was carrying no pas
Sengers and no one was injured by the
explosion, despite the fact that the en-
tire force of the blast was spent di
rectly under the left front wheels of
the car, few feet from the spot
where both the conductor and motor
man were standing. Both county and
city officers are working on the case,
but as yet no arrests have been made
in connection with the explosion.
The dynamite was placed on the
track on curve just beyond the asy-
lum road crossing and was so located
that the motorman's view of the spot
III rounding the curve was obscured bv
small bush. The street car, No. 1O4
in charge of Motorman l.. |. York and
Conductor j. H. Eargle, left the barns
on it's first trip over the line yesterday
morning at 6 o'clock and reached the
curve at about 6:15 o'clock. The frs
wheel en- the left font truck passed
over the spot apparently detonating
the dynamite cap placed upon the
track.
The second wheel, few feet behind
received the full force of the explo
sion and was blown to pieces by tn,
st, fragments of the whool and
ings being thrown as far as 1OO
let from the car. A hole was torn in
the floor of the car just in front o.
the second seat on the left side and
directly above the shattered wheel
Several of the glass windows on thr
left side were also broken by the fore,
of the explosion and the jar caused
by the derailing of the car, which was
thrown from the tracks by the blast
Both the regular rail and the guard
rail, placed just inside the regular raj
on the curve, were broken by the ex.
plosion, section nearly three feet il
length being torn from each.
Neither Motorman York nor Con-
ductor Eargle, who were riding in the
front of the car, was injured and bot
resumed their runs on the line wher
a substitute car was put on at 9:3C
o'clock after the wrecked car had beer
replaced on the tracks and towed to'
the barns for repairs. The car made
the trip to the barns on its own wheel
and the total damage is estimated b,
company officials at not more thar
500 The motor was not damaged

WATSON REVIEWS
ATTACK ON HOOVER

Washington, June Ex-senator Wat
son (Democrat) of Georgia renewed
in the senate today his attack on
Secretary Hoover's administration OF
war relief organizations. and charged
him with having aided in efforts to
overthrow the Soviet and restore the
czarist government in Russia. He as
serted that Mr.. Hoover has caused a
shipping board steamer, commanded
by Capt. James B. Martin, to trans
Port a cargo of military motor trucks
and supplies from Bordeaux to the
northern army in Russia to be used in
General Yudenitch's offensive against
the Soviets.
The steamer, Mr.. Watson said, was
loading for the United States when
the commander received message
cancelling the return home and or
dering him to reload with army sup
plies.
To substantiate this statement he
said he had what appeared to be
protostatic copies of cables ordering
the Russian shipment.
Referring to the recent White
House statement in defense of Mr..
Hoover Mr.. Watson inquired why the
secretary was above criticism. He
also reiterated the charge that Mr..
Hoover had not published detailed
statement of the War relief expendi-
lures and also allegations that food in
tended for stricken peoples of Europe
had been permitted to decay OH
wharves or in vessels through alleged
lack Of propert administration.

new WAGE CUT
FOR RAILWAY MEN

Chicago, June (By the Associated
Press).-Over the. strong protest of
the three labor representatives on the
United States railroad labor board q
new wage cut of seven cents an hour
for railway shop mechanics and nine
cents for freight car men, cutting
100000 shopmen approximately $780,
100000 a year, was ordered by the
board today. The new wage reduc-
tion brought an estimated added saw
ing of $59,669,347 annually to the
railroads, following on the heels of
a, $5O,00O,OO0 cut in the wages of
maintenance of way laborers last
week. The shop crafts decision be-
comes effective July 1, the same date
as last weeks order.
The minority report of the labor
members pointedly stated that the
majority decision was made with "no
consideration of human needs" and
charges that it fails to carry out the
function of the board to set "just
and reasonable" wage.
"The tendency of this decision is to
vindicate the propaganda of the rail
roads and consequently condemn such
statements as the employees have
been able to bring to public atten-
tion," the minority opinion said
Supervisory forces of the railroad
shops were not decreased. After
due consideration, the decision said, it
VISA felt that the duties and respon-
sibilities of such forces warranted
maintenance of the present rates.
The reduction for the mechanics
average q little more than 8 per
cent, all machinists, boiler makers,
blacksmiths, sheet metal workers,
electrical workers, carmen Except
freight carmen), moulders, cupulo
tenders and carmakers and the regu-
lar and helper apprentices receiving
cut of seven cents an hour. Freight
carmen, commonly known as 'tcar
knockers" and the object of some of
the heaviest assaults by the roads in
ehSAh boetiS 1Ol iO"SI "dBSS, "SIc
cut nine cents.
( The larger cut was ordered for the
Gear knockers" because the board said
it believed that their work did not
require the same skilled service as
other branches of Garments work.
This heavier reduction for the freight
Carmen came under especially severe
criticism in the minority report, the
labor members declaring there was
no justification for discrimination in
car work.
Car cleaners who now receive an
average of $3.18 day, were cut five
cents an hour, or 40 cents day.
The mechanics, whose daily rate
now averages from $6.11 for electri-
cal workers to $6.28 for blacksmiths,
will lose Sc cents day under the
new decision, bring their daily wage
to aproXimately S5.70.

FORD CAN BEGIN
WORK AT ONCE

Detroit, June 6.-Henry Ford is
prepared to begin work on the deyel-
opment of the Muscle Shoals power
and nitrate plants upon a few hours
notice, should his offer to take over
and operate the project be accepted by
cCl "ress, it was learned today fr"m
sources close to the man.f. turer.
Acceptance of his offer. it was said,
would be followed imma aIiateiy by the
dispatch of kilograms to vacious parts
the Detroit manufacturers plan to
create an industrial center around
Muscle Shoals that would be the
"crowning achievement of his career
Mr.. Ford believes acceptance of
his proposal and fruition of his
plans will prove the worth of water
power and that an enterprise like
Muscle Shoals can be made to become
an asset to the public rather than a
liability. The project, it was pointed
out, will, under Mr.. Ford's plans, have
paid for itself before the lease ex-
pires.
w. B. Mayo, chief engineer of the
Ford company, has returned to De-
troit and Mr.. Ford no longer is per-
sonally represented at Washington in
connection with the shoals project.
No plans have been made for further
negotiations with congress, it was
stated, because Mr.. Ford's reply to
the counter-proposal of the house mil
itary committee was his final state
ment.
