WORK is STARTED
IN STRIKE ZONE
Operations Under Way in
Coal Mines-Plan to Break
Walkout

Pittsburg. July Goal was be-
ing cut yesterday in two important
pits in the Pittsburg bituminous
district. the first serious attempt on
the part of the Pittsburg Coal
Producers Association to break
the strike. which for fourteen
weeks has kept idle every union
mine in the region. Deputy
sheriffs were on guard and there
was no semblance of disorder.
The work OF cleaning up the
mines began last Wednesday and
had reached point yesterday
where the cutters were put to
work. Several days will be re-
auired before enough coal will be
available to warrant operation Of
the shoisting machinery. Railroad
switches have been filed with
empty cars and it was stated at
the mines. shipments are expected
to begin about the middle of the
week.
At the Hendersonvi1le plant of
the Henderson Coal and Coke COM
pany in Washington county, there
was no sign Of activity of the sur
face, but it was stated that a force
was busy underground. Twenty or
more deputy sheriffs, each armed
with a pistol. were quartered in one
of the company's buildings on the
main highway between Pittsburg
and Cantonsburg. There have been
no evictions, and many of the COM
pany's houses are still occupied
by strikers, although it was said
numbers Of families have moved
away, while many of the strikers
were working in harvest fields in
the vicinity.
A more important move, strik-
ers and company officials agreed,
was at Montour No. 4 mine of the
Pittsburg Coal company. Here
coal cutting, it was said, was in
active progress and preparations
were being made to pt.t the mine
at work with an increased force.
About fifty deputy sheriffs are on
guard.
"Our men are being given an op-
portunity to go to work" said one
of the men connected with the
company, s.and I don't think we
are going to have any trouble. but
these mines are going to be oper-
ated and our preparations are with
that end in view"
The strikers had nothing to say
other than reiterate that the men
had no intention whatever of go
ing to work, and if the company
expected to operate the mine before
an agreement was made with the
union it would have to bring in the
workers.
Arrangements are being made
to place a number of. other Wash
ington county mines in operation,
it was learned.

INCOME FROM
MOTOR LICENSES
Some Counties Are Running
Ahead Of Last Year

OOtuluU1d,
lection from the sale of automobile lie
licenses for the year to date, lnciud-
ing figures for. June so, was an
nounced as s6Se,277.66 by L. F.: -:
Thomas, secretary of the state high
way commission, yesterday. At
the same time Mr.. Thomas an
nouneed that the accruals to the
counties so far this year. including
June. under the 80 per cent. clause
was s551, 1,422.12. u
In the amounts to be returned
to the counties Greenville leads the
state with s51,449.97 and inciden-
tally this figure establishes rec
ord for all counties. Greenyille has
so far had more money returned
from the sale OF licenses for the
six months OF. 1922 than any couil-
ty for a full year during any past
IL months. Among the other
larger amounts to go back to the
counties for six months may be
mentioned Richland with S45.452.-
50, Spartanburg with s41s1S7.69,
Charleston with s39,511.SS and Ans
derson with s34,753.96.
The total registration of motor
vehicles. Including June. was Is
s33 automobiles, 6.616 trucks, 80
tralers, 497 MOTORCYCLES and AZ
dealers. Last year the registration
was $3.50 automobiles, ,197
trucks. SO trailers, 756 motorcycles
and 66s dealers. These were the
figures for the full II months.
Another interesting fact brought
out by the figures of Secretary
Thomas was that for all of last
year 1884 registrations or trans
fers from one owner to another
were recorded. while for the frst
six months of this year only 785
had been recorded. This would in
dicate that fewer used ears are
changing hands.
Beaufort. Charleston. Cherokee,
Dorchester. Greenville. oconee.
Pickens and Spartanburg have al

the motor vehicle license fund for
the six months of this year than
they did for the full II months Of
1921.
While several Of the counties
have made progress and gone ahead
Of last years registrations, num-
Der are still behind and doing
practically nothing to increase the
revenue for themselves. The. state
department has urged the counties
TO enforce the law and to employ
inspectors: to apprehend the vio-
lators. Several have done TINS
and they have been rewarded by
additional cash in the county cof-
fers.
South Carolinians bought S21
brand new automobiles during
the month Of June. which would
indicate that little money is Still

compiled yesterday by the state

'sOPEN' LETTER
WRITTEN
Union Officials Demand Re.
moyaI Of Soldiers

New York, July 9.-The general
strike situation in the New York
district today remained deadlecked,
with both sides claiming gains.
Averaging the claims Of both sides,
it would appear the strike is be-
tween so and 80 per cent. effective.
but this only means that a CORE
spending portion Of the men have
quit and remained out. Delays in
train service in the district today
were negligible, so far as reported.
Returning holiday trains We're
again handled promptly, according
to station officials.
What union men said was prob
ably the first letter ever addressed
to a public inconvenienced by a
strike was written today "to the
commuters on the Erie Railroad
by the New York district strike
committee. This was an open"
letter. written following the an
nouncement of the withdrawal Of a
score of trains in the New jersey
New York district by the Erie. to
explain the position Of the strikers
The letter claims the strike was
the last recourse, as the Railroad
Labor Boards order reduced the
shepmen's earnings "to less than
$1.70o a year 1t charges the
board violated the clause of the
Transportation Act requiring its
wage decisions "to be based on the
cost of living" The same act took
note of the right to strike, the
letter declares.
Regret is expressed that the
strike is causing trouble to the
Erie commuters and that ct will
cause ali increasing amount of
trouble But neither you. nor
any other honorable man could or
would have acted otherwise. the
letter says.

Industrial Survey Most En-

Washington. July 9.-The United

ward industrial prosperity ac-
cording to the economic summary
for the month of June issued today
by the United States employment
service of the department of la
Dor.
Employment is increasing. the
survey said. despite unsettled con-
ditions in the coal fields and cotton
textile industry and the railroad
controversies.

country. 81 reported increased en-
ployment while f3 reported de-
creased employment during June.
a noteworthy feature of the
survey. the department said. was
that all industries but the stone.
clay and glass products. indicated
increases in employment. In these
three industries. it was said, the
decrease was largely due to sea-
sonal layoffs.
Director General Jones of the
employment service declared the
country is steadily but surely forg-
ing its way toward period of in
dustrial prosperity in which it is
possible that the labor supply will
not equal the demand"
a note of optimism. he added.
pervadeS practically every indus

The survey indicated. according
to Mr.. Jones. that building activ-
tiles were developing so that a
shortage of skilled building crafts

others, he had a wonderful gift of
showing you he believed in you, he
seemed to thrive on just words of en-
enlargement; and oh, that he was
so deprived of even those. He made
no ostentation about his good and
generous acts to others, in view of
these facts we love to speak of him
this afternoon. Others may or will
follow who will attain greater fame
and perhaps larger results but
most sincere friend whose place can
not be filled. Where lives the man
who would lay down his life more
freely for any cause?
Death is the debt we must pay to
Providence for giving us life but the
use we make of that life the duties
that we discharge, the manner in
which we perform them constitutes
the amendment that can smile at the
drawn dagger of death.
For long years his smile will be
remembered, his enthusiasm and lib
crafty will be felt and what higher
tribute can be paid than to say he
fought the fight he has performed a
mans task and two mems work, he
has shown a soldiers courage and
when the bugle sounded the evening
knell he retired to rest and we can
say with confidence that the moment
that ,signalized his departure from

realm Of final reward.
St. James and friends, this is the
second mute appeal Bethel has
brought to you within two months
We know your hands are full but we
are just asking for the crumbs that
might fall from your table. IF you
lose him as you say you do this after
noon, don't let Bethel's banner trail
in the dust that he and his dear wife
have both died to save. Bethel has
been a source Of some good but such
dear price has been paid. If pro-
crastination has prevented your en-
couragement it is not yet too late to
help The cause for which he died.. It
is the highest tribute you can pay to
his memory is to encourage, Bethel
and help look after his children.
When he received his appointment
under Bishop Lee in the fall of 1914
and hidden to start church little did
his friends suspect that was his an
gelic passport. But Bethel will al.
ways stand as a living monument to
his memory. {. IS .@
Therefore, we members Of Bethe
church, resolve to perpetuate this
memory by constant devotion to the
church he so well established ane
