- Eighteen months of finger printing
depositors of postal savings has proven
the system to be highly successful,
meeting the most sanguine hopes of
postal officials who inaugurated 1t, and
winning over those who said II
wouldn't "go." The criminal sugges-
tion connected with making finger
prints, according to reports from Of
ficers throughout the country, mas
been virtually wiped out and the aver
sion to that method of identification Is
disappearing. On the other hand the
denizens of New York's East SIDE,
Chicagos South Side, and the other
sides OF various cities where the for
eign population is segregated, are re-
ported as being 'tickled to death
with the system. Many of them can
not read nor write and In the old days
when Giuseppe Guillermo affixed MS
cross mark to postal deposit, he had
no means of knowing but what some
pseudo Giuseppe would collect ms

mark. Now, like the kings of old who
used their signet rings to seal state
papers, Giuseppe has confidence that
his savings cannot be drawn upon by
one who lives by his wits.

mill owner of Winterville, Ga, near
Athens, was taken from his home early
Thursday morning by masked men,

= Here is the telegram that Governor
Morrison, of North Carolina, sent
President Harding in reply to the
presidents call upon the governors for
state military cooperation in connec-
tion with strike control: Gov. Nor
rison. of North Carolina was the only
state executive to disagree with the
presidents policy. II am truly sorry"
Gov Morrison wired, that a judg-
ment long formed and repeatedly eX-
pressed heretofore in my state pre-
vents my agreeing with your position as
set forth in your telegram. l deem the
whole policy of national and state gov
ernments trying to adjust labor dis
putes unwise. 1t always forfeits the
confidence of the side to such a con-
troversy finally decided against by the
government and creates suspicion of
the impartiality of its exercise of po-
lice power. l believe the full duty of
the government and the part of wis
dom is TO uphold the law with fearless
impa, tiality and permit parties in in
dustrial disputes TO fight the economic
battle to a finish. Your position is
practically to use the power of the
government against the miners and in
the enforcement of police regulations
and the upholding of the law the
strikers will naturally have little con-
fidence in the impartiality or fairness
of soldiers or other agencies of force
directed by a government which has
taken a decided stand against them,
however good the reason for such a
stand may be-"
