STATEMENTS ON
RAILROAD STRIKE

New York, July 2I.-Asserting that
the rail strike has not already been
settled because the die hard group of
Eastern road executives want it to go
on" shop craft union leaders today
! submitted that only the roads refusal
to assure returning strikers reinstate-
ment of seniority rights prevents an
versy.
"The government now admits that
the railroad strike is a grave public
issue; the public knew it two weeks
ago." was a statement issued by the
central strike committee.
at is only the die hard group of
Eastern executives who deny it. They
deny it because they want the strike
to go on. They are using this crisis
in vain attempt to install the open
shop.
"If the government wants to relieve
the transportation crisis it will settle
the strike. And the way to settle the
strike is to persuade Gen. w. w
Atterbury and his hard boiled Wall
street clique to cease holding up the
nations business by their private re-
fusal to allow seniority rights to
workers. 1t is inconceivable that a
half dozen men can impose their self
ish will upon the welfare of hundred
million"
These charges brought from the
Eastern executives conference In ses-
sion today declaration through their
chairman, l.. f. Loree, president of
the Delaware & Hudson, that the
possibility of the strikers tying up
the Eastern railroads had passed"
He announced that SS,8O4 men are
now employed at full time in Eastern
shops, compared with 145,S ,S72 the day
before the walkout and declared that
the COS per cent force now employed
"has an output that compares favor
ably with the work of the larger
force before the strike"
"This is DUE" the statement contin.
ued, "to the fact that we formerly
employed more men than we needed
because there was not enough repair
work to keep the shops going at ca,
pacity, and partly due to the fact that
' many union rules designed to restrict
output have been eliminated. One
willing mechanic now does the work
that formerly was taken up in the rou:
tine by several, with the consequent
delays"
The conference made plans for in.
augurating on additional roads the
company union system" which al.
ready has been started on four Fast
ern lines as an outgrowth of the
strike. Although it was tacitly ad,
mitted that the effect of such organi-
cations would be to weaken the ma.
: tional strength of the mother unior
of the six shop crafts, the American
Federation of Labor, rail presidents
refused to comment on the conference
program.

Statement of Trustees
Of Union High School
Dear Mr.: Editor:

Dear Mr.. Editor: --
We read the communication of Miss
Mahala j. Smith in your paper yes
terday, and while we will not enter
into any kind of a controversy, and
feel that there is no necessity of do
ing so, still in justice to ;ll parties
concerned we think the public should
know ALL THE FACTS. They are
briefly: When Miss Smith asked for
the high school building for the coun-
ty demonstration course she was in
formed by us that summer school
was in progress there, and for that
reason We could not agree to let her
have the building this year, but that
she could have the Central school
h"ilding, which she had previously
u ed, for her demonstration work
The Central school is a 12-room brick
building centrally located in an oak
grove. In this building are electric
lights, running water and other mod
em convcniences. We promised to re
move the desks from two Of the rooms
for sleeping purposes, and also to re-
move the partition in the former audi.
torium so as to better accommodate a
large audience.
Now the facts are further: That a
large number of the pupils failed to
make their grades last session, and,
in order to give them another chance
70 tnly hni
grades over another year we decided
to have summer school in the high
school building, and the parents of
such children are charged tuition for
this special course. We did not think
it fair to such pupils and their pa
rents to allow anything in the build
ing which would interfere with this
work. We think the Central school
building suitable for the demonstra-
tion work and offered it to Miss Smith
This she refused but she failed to
state in her communication the fact
that this building was offered, or the
fact that a summer school was ir
progress in the high school building
We are reliably informed that at a
meeting of the ladies at the court
house last week Miss Smith had a
committee appointed to see the trus.
tees about the matter. Anyway, such
committee called on our chairman
afterwards, and when he explained
the above facts to them they said they
saw no need of calling another meet.

UNDERWO0D'S MOVE
CAUSES CONFUSION
BY Hugh W. Roberts.

Washington, July Ex-senator Os
car w. Underwood, the Democrati,
leader in the senate, has the Republi
cans in an embarrassing situation BY
opposing the German effort to acquire
German property held by the alier
property custodian.
He has taken the American stand
that is, the stand based both on the
treaty of Versailles and the separate
pact made between this country and
Germany, both of which guaranteed
the American right to satisfy Ameri.
can claims without interference on
the part of Germans, for damages
done by Germany in time of war. The
administration, despite such treaty
guarantee, 81 insisting that com
mission composed Of Germans and
Americans be named for the equitable
adjudication of American claims. Sen
ator Underwood in the senate today
contended that before such joint COM
mission could be named the admins.
tration would be forced to vitiate both
treaties in so far as they concern
disposal of German property held by
Americans and negotiate new
treaty. He insisted that the United
States proceed as conquering nation
rather than one which would proceed
on a theory that the world war haG
concluded in questionable victory.
In the election of 1920 German ma.
tionals in the United States supporte1
the Republican ticket because the
Democratic candidate insisted on q
league of nations which Germany bit.
terly opposed.
The Republicans in this election
year are hopeful that German nation.
ais will remain faithful. Because
of such hope they haye suffered Ger.
many to reduce the Value of German
property held by the United States tc
about 5000 ,OOO,O 900. American claims
on file with the secretary of state
amount to $1,OOO,OO0,bOO. While these
claims are regarded, as excessive, it is
estimated that American citizens hav,
equitable claims amounting to about
100000. Some Of these claims
are based on the destruction of the
Lusitania. 1t is omexplainable il
Washington that the administration
has suffered LusitaniA claims to re
main without exercaae unless on,
/ should proceed on the theory that tn,
Republicans are so obsessed by poll
tics that they have been willing to sac
rilce every American right, temper

might remain reconciled.
Senator Underwood has stated that
introducing a bill under the terms Of
which American claims could be set
: tied by an American commission, h;
was not animated in any respect b,
politics. At the same time he admit:
that his bill and its agitation will hav,
political effect. If the Republican,
pass his bill, it will follow that Ger
man nationals will be alienated. L
they do not pass his bill, many thou
sand more Americans, he declares, will
demand to know the reason whv

KU KLUX ORDER
NOT NATIONWIDE

Atlanta, July 24.-Edward YOUNG
Clarke, imperial wizard protein OF
the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, lat,
today issued a statement denying thai
he had unmasked the Ku Klux Klar
in Georgia or any other part of the
country.
The only thing he did, Mr.. Clark,
said, was to issue an executive order
applying only to Georgia, stopping
for the time being all parades and
the use of the mask and costume for
any purpose in Georgia by the klans-
men except in the klavern or lodge
room Of the klan."
Emphasizing that the executive or.
der was confined to Georgia, Mr.
Clark in his statement said:
"The correspondence between my.
self and Governor Hardwick regarding
the Ku Klux Klan published in the
Sunday papers has been grossly twist
ed and it is causing considerable mis-,
understandable on account of this fact
"First: I have not unmasked the
Ku Klux Klan in Georgia or any
where else in the nation; the only
thing I did was to issue an executive
order stopping for the time being all
paradcs and the use of the mask and
costume for any purposes in Georgia
by klansmen except in the klavern or
| lodge room of the khan.
"Second: The order affected Georgia
only land the statement which has
been broadcast that it applied to the
entire nation has caused flood of tel
egrams to be received at headquarters
and considerable confusion in the
ranks of the organization all over the
country.
"In explanation Of the reason why
issued the order stopping parades
and the use of the mask and costume
in Georgia for the present time, I de.
sire to say that I did so because o1
concerted effort at the present time
in Georgia to make it appear thai
the Ku Klux Klan is either directly
responsible for acts of lawlessness ir
the state or indirectly responsible be-
cause Of imitation of our costume by
lawless elements or by those seeking
to discredit our organization.
thought the best way to clear up such
situation was to issue the execu
tive order which / did and when I dis.
-cussed> the, matter with the governor
he agreed with me that this would
solve the problem. In addition to thu
executive order stopping parades
have also issued orders for a GO da,
educational campaign in Georgia by
a large body Of khan speakers in ordel
to educate the public regarding tht
khan and its costume.
81 have also ordered a searching in
quiry into recent crimes in Georgi:
and believe we shall be able to show
that not 1 per cent of same in any
way involve the Ku Klux Klan.
81 issued last fall a similar execu
tive order In Texas when the state
was in the midst of turbulent con.
ditions regarding law enforcement ant
there was under way in the state 6
centered fight on the Klan by those
who wanted to see us destroyed. My
order in Texas was faithfully com
piled with and completely met The
situation in Texas to the satisfaction
of all concerned except those wht
wanted to see the khan destroyed"

Southeastern Fair
Is Great Educa.
tional Institution
Exposition to Be Held In Atlanta octo'
Der 1921, Gives True Reflection Of
south's Progress.

Few universities are enabled to dis
seminate as much knowledge along
the lines of all of life's activities as
does the Southeastern Fair, which will
hold it's seventh annual exhibition in
Atlanta, October IL to 81. For the
people of the state generally, the an
nuaI Southeastern fair is veritable
fount of information about the things
they are most concerned in with their
everyday existence.
The Southeastern fair exhibits show
the best that is produced In agricul
ture, livestock, dairying, poultry, farm
ing machinery, Industrial work of va
rious sorts, arts and sciences, school
work, home work, such as needle
work, handicraft work, garment max
ing, canning and numerous other
sorts of domestic endeavor No mat
ter in what line or variety of lines any
person is interested, he can find much
of an instructive nature among the
fair exhibits.
The Southeastern Fair has taken
rank with the best in the whole of
America. Its coming show will be
greater in scope than any previous ex-
hibition and it will be the most in
structive exposition Of its kind to date.
More than ever, the Southeastern
Fair has become one of the South's
leading educational Institutions" said
President Oscar Mills, of the associa-
ton, in discussing this feature. at
shows better than any other way how
the state is developing and what it is
accomplishing. 1t brings the people
of the state together-the farmer, the
manufacturer, the business man, the
professional man, the women interest
ed in industrial or domestic matters,
and the children who are just becom-
ing interested in some line of the ac-
tivities Of life.
ut shows to each one the best that
is being accomplished with what he
is most concerned with, and it gives
to each one an opportunity to see
what others are doing. Few people real
ize how great an educational institu-
ton the fair is, and what tremendous
efforts are put forth each year by
the fair officials. 1t is known fact
that both in the 1920 and in 1921 the
fair association spent in premiums
and for educational exhibits and in
struction approximately the same
amount of money that the state legis-
lature appropriated at its last session
for the annual maintenance of the
University of Georgia"
The fair is a great mirror of prog
ress and this year it will have more
progress to reflect than in any year
Of it's history. =.

What Pinckney Really Told France,
When John jay, in 1896, made his
famous treaty with England, which
threatened to involve the United
States in war with France, the Di-
rectory would not receive the Ameri
can ambassador, Charles Cotesworth
Pinckney, but intimated that the pay
ment OF a certain sum might settle
the dispute Pinckney is said to have
Indignantly answered with the now
historical phrase: millions for de-
Tense, but not one cent for tribute 1t
is said, however, that long afterward,
when Pinckney was asked in his club
whether he had ever uttered it. he re-
piled: "No. Ny answer was not a
flourish like that, but simply, Not
penny, not a penny :"
