PAYMENT OF TAXES
Time Extended From October IS to
November IS.


Columbia, Oct. 5-Walter E. Dun
can, the comptroller general, with
the approval of the governor, yester-
day extended the time for the open
ing of the tax books for the collec-
ton of state, county and school taxes
for 1922 from October Is to Nov
ember Is.
The extension was granted because
of delays in getting out assessments
of corporations by the tax commits
sion and because of the recent ex-
tension of the time for paying 1921
state, county and school taxes along
with other reasons, Mr.. Duncan said.
The tax commission has been busy
with the new revenue laws and short
DELAYS were occasioned from this
heavy work, it was announced. The
auditors were able to get their books
ready by the 18th of this month
and as a consequence the comptroller
general thought an extension wise.
Mr.. Duncan's order granting the
extension is as follows:

FOR LOANS
SHOWING DECREASE
Treasurer of Federal Land Bank
Says Indications Are Condi-.
tions Are Better.

Columbia, Oct. 5.-While many
farmers in North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida may
be hard up for cash, the applications
for loans at the Federal Land bank
in this city do not show it. Indeed,
according to Harry Root, treasurer
of the bank, applications for loans
during September, 1922, were not so
numerous as during September, 1921
nor were near 50 many loans closed
during last September as were clos
ed in the same month in 1921. In
1921, the number of loans closed
during September was 733 for ST.
032, 900; in September, 1922, the
number of loans closed was 651 for
$1,241,90o.
: "I believe the lighter demand for
loans from farmers is caused by the
better conditions that prevail" said
Mr.. Root yesterday when asked how
he accounted for the smaller mum.
Der of loans closed this year than
last. "The loans applied for have
fallen off during the year, which to
my mind indicate better conditions"
During the past September loans
applied for totaled 2,452 for &c..
196,550. ... .~
. At the present time the bank is
working out plan by which the ap.
praisers Of the institution will reach
the secretaries Of the various loan
associations over the country every
60 days. There are about 20 apprais-
ers in the field. If the go days basis
can be worked out, secretaries Of as
sociations, when asked by prospec-
tive borrowers when the appraisers
will be around, can give definite in
formation to inquirers. The bank in
Columbia serves loan associations in
the five states of the district.

MANY RAILWAYS
SETTLE STRIKE
EIGHTY-THREE SAID TO HAVE
SIGNED CIRCULAR GIVES
THREE REASONS ACCUATING
EXECUTIVES IN ACCEPTING
AGREEMENT BASIS.

Chicago, Oct. 5.-Eighty-three
railroads of the United States, oper-
ating approximately $4,000 miles
and employing between $4,000
members of the federated shop
crafts, have settled the shop crafts
strike with their system federations,
according to a special bulletin sent
today to all members of the organiza
ton over the signature of B. M.
Jewell, president, The latest addi-
ton to the settling roads being the
Fort Smith & Western, the Georgia,
Florida & Alabama and the Chicago
Great Western.
Replying to numerous requests
for an Interpretation of the Balti-
more plan, upon which the strike
leaders claim the settlements have
been made, the circular states three
reasons actuated the executives in
accepting the agreement basis. 1t
gives first, split in the Association
Of Railway Executives one group
agreeable to a settlement and the
"other bent on destroying these or
ganizations," second, willingness Of
the liberal group to negotiate ma
tional agreements and lay down a
basis for settlements on other roads; /;
third, that no justification could be
found for keeping 125,000 men on
strike who could return to work and
assist in financing those who re-
manned idle.
Justification for the action of the
policy committee the circular de-
clared, is seen in the fact that 81
others carriers, in addition to the
original So, have agreed to the Bal
timore plan.
"A second special circular to the
membership contained in detail an in
depreciation of Federal Judge Wilk-
erson's decision on the injunction
bill filed against the organization
by Attorney General Daugherty. 1t
was supplied by Donald R. Richberg,
attorney for the shop crafts.
'"We can not interpret the temper
ary injunction, drastic as its terms
are" said Mr.. Richberg's opinion in
part, Gas in any way restraining or
preventing the officers and other rep
resentatives of the shop crafts or
ganizations from doing all in their
power to maintain orderly discipline
and conduct of the lawful work
of the organizations, to continue to
call for and expect to receive the
loyal support of each and every mem
ber, to continue to work in harmony
and with a common lawful purpose
to advance the common interests of
the organized shop crafts employees

MINE WORKERS
RENEW DEMANDS
POLICY COMMITTEE MEETS IN
SESSION AT CLEVELAND-DE-
CISION TO STAND ON OLD PO-
SITION MAKES MINERS CON.
VENTION UNNECESSARY

Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 5.-The pol
icy committee of the United Mine
Workers of America in session here
today reafirmed the demands of the
February, 1922, convention of the
union in indianapolis, demanding the
continuance Of the present wages in
coal mines until 1925 and in addition,
the six hour day and five day week,
time and one-half for overtime work
and double time on Sundays and holi-
days. These demands will be present.
ed to the next scale conference of
miners and operators prior to the
expiration March 81, next, Of the
Cleveland agreement signed here last
August, which practically settled the
soft coal strike and which is now in
force. ...
Today's decision by the policy
committee to stand on their old de-
mands makes it unnecessary for the
miners unic r.. to hold a convention
between now and next April, John L.
Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers, announced. The old
schedule Of demands never was pre-
sented to the operators because the
producers associations in the old
central competitive field, Ohio, In
diana, Illinois and western Pennsyl-
vania, refused to meet the union be-
fore the miners strike began April
1, last. Day laborers' wages in btu
minous mines is $3.50 and this has
been the scale since the summer of
1920. .-~.....
The policy committees meeting
followed the final session of joint
conference of operators and miners
meeting here since Monday to take
steps toward wage nego-
tiations next January.
The joint conference, representing
all important union bituminous coal
producing districts in the nation,
agreed late today upon a method OF
selecting delegates to q conference
to meet in Chicago November IA, to
formulate a method of procedure to
be followed the bituminous coal in
dustry in negotiating wage scale
agreement to become effective April
1, 1928.
The setting up of this committee
was provided under the terms of the
Cleveland agreement and leaders of
both sides declared it to be highly
important accomplishment. Phil H.
Penna, secretary of the Indiana Coal
Operators association, and chairman
of the joint conference, declared it
makes possible reconstruction of
the bargaining machinery, which had
been broken up before the recent
coal strike.
