Jewell issued statement which read;
Jewell Makes Statement.

"T'he association Of railway exc
cutives have closed the door. The
unions have offered every concession
within. reason to end The strike and
save the public a breakdown ofs trans
portation, but the association has
made none. On the contrary ii has
raised question Of seniority and has
made settlement impossible at this
time. The responsibility for what
will happen now rests wholly upon it.
The shop crafts voted in June for a
strike to establish a living wage and
decent working conditions. y
The Association of Railway EXecu-
tives have now voted for q lockout to
smash unionlsm on the railroads and
to eliminate collective bargaining from
the industry The men lave been
ready at all times to meet the assdci-
alton to bring about an honorable set
tlement. We expressed our wiling
ness to do so to the labor board in
Chicago. We accepted President
,Harding's terms Of settlement on July
81. The association, however, has
consistently and arrogantly. blocked
every move in the strike. They have
done so with the plain intent of
eliminating unionism in the industry
as a whole. They refused, even at
the presidents direct request, to take
back striking employees with seniority
rights unimpaired, in order that they
might separate free and courageous
men from their jobs ard thus disinte-
CRATE the employees organization.
They even tried to justify their re-
fusal on the grounds of promises of
permanent employment to strike
breakers, which they have not made.
The shop craft employees are now
fighting for their very existence and
the existence of other railroad em-
ployes, as well as for justice and right
This last misguided action Of the as
sociaton makes our victory secure.
The association today have not a leg
to stand on before the people. 4
"The 100000 striking employees ac-
cept the challenge Of the association.
We will redouIble our efforts, conf

The above is the cost to place CAT
loads of gravel on mile and half
of road, which is approximately one
yard to each 121a feet. The cost per
load for gravel leveled on the road
was $1.631a.
Working out this scheme the com
munity gets $500 for every $1.00 eN-
pended; the county court gets S4.00
fer $l.00 and the special road district
gets $4.00 for $1.00 spent. If they
could have more opportunity to spend
our district and county funds to this
advantage we could have four miles
to each one mile now for the same
amount of county funds spent.
The officers of Club No. l are F.
A. Wightman, president; Marion Tate
vice president and Abby Anderson,
secretary treasurer.
Mr. Wightman has appointed a
committee of three to each half mile
of the new gravel road to look after
the up-keep for the first year.
Marion Tate is chairman of the COM
mittee for the west half mile; c.. c.
Carter for the middle half mile and
Jake Carter for the east half mile.
They, with their neighbors, will drag
the road when it is necessary to keep
it in good condition. 1t is estimated
that the upkeep for the first year of a
new gravel road is equal to 80 per
cent of its efficiency later.

BARRY COUNTY
| BANKERS MEET HERE
Luncheon at Martin Hotel Well Att
tended. Mr.. Wagner, of-Neosho
Speakers on Branch Banking.


-------
The Barry County Bankers Associ-
alton met at the Martin Hotel We'd
nesday evening, August 23, all but
two banks of the county being repre-
sented. Luncheon was served at 7
O'Clock.
Y. w, Lehnhard presided over the
meeting at the request of j. f. Black
of Cassville, president Of the associ-
alton. The main address was given
by Mr.. Wagner, Of the Bank of Neo-
sho, whose subject was Branch
banking"
The next meeting will beg held at
Roaring River on LaborfDay.
Those present at the meeting were
j. r. Black and son and W. I. Priest,
of Cassville; j. c. Ellston, the secre-.
tary, of Exeter; Amos Gurley, Of
Purdy; W.. A. Davidson and Roy Glib
son, of Wheaton; w. A. Stapleton, of
Seligman; f. l.. Thomas, OF jenkins;
Cass Jeffries, of Butterfield; C. w.
Lehnhard, 0. H. Hudson, Leslie
Mason, John Walsh, John McGrath,
Dr.. A. S. Hawkins, VIM. Friedrich, T..
G. Wright, Arthur Erwin and G. w.
Finn, of Monett. John C. Snider, of
Shell Knob, was a guest.
Mn. Wagner's subject, Branch
Banking" is one of great interest to
the Barry county bankers at this time
This is movement of the large Ma
tional banks OF the cities to put in
branches over the country, which is
said to be against the law of the
National banking system and against
the Missouri state laws. The agi-
tation was caused by a recent ruling
of the Comptroller of the Currency,
which the bankers claim is an avoid
ance of the law, in which ne holds
that National banks may open diff
ferent offices in the same town. The
agitation in Missouri vas caused
when the First National Bank of st.
Louis made a move to establish
branches.
The local bankers claim that this
will be very bad for the state
Branches established throughout the
towns by large banks, bring no capital
and are controlled away from home.
They pay no taxes to the community
in which they are established and all
loans over 5000 must be referred to
the head bank Strangers are put
in charge that are not acquainted with
the community and who take no inter
est in Its upbuilding and who would
not devote any time or money In do
nations to loyal projects.
Deposits of a local branch would
not remain in the community for use /
of the people there but would be for |
warded to the head office of the city
and the funds would be loaned either
to Wall Street or to large mercantile \
concerns in cities. /
The system III operation in England
and Canada is proved to he milking
process in communities in which .
banks are established and it dries up
the financial resources of the district
and causes stagnation.
The Barry County Bankers Associ-
alton, for these reasons is very much
opposed to branch banking.
The meeting was most interesting
and was very much enjoyed, as was
also the excellent banquea served by
the Martin Hotel management.

EXECUTIVES REJECT :
big FIVE PROPOSALS
Group of 25 Railroad Presidents Split
With Majority and Discuss Pos
sibiity of Individual Settlement.

New York, Aug. 23.A majority
group of the Association of Railway
Executives today rejected the propos-
al of the big five train service bro
therhoods that the carriers end the
nationwide shopmen's strike, by re-
instating the men with seniority un-
impaired, and Bert M. Jewell, official
spokesman for the strikers, declared
the association had closed the door TO
peace and voted for lockout to
smash unionism.
Splitting away from the majority
was group of rs railroads, principal
~ western lines, which debated new
suggestion of the brotherhoods that
Individual settlements be effected
This minority, while protesting to
stand with the majority on seniority,
indicated that it desired to hear fur
ther regarding the individual settle
ment suggestion.
Hale Holden, president Of the Chi
eago, Burlington and Quincy, joined
with members of the majority group
in denying that there was a split
& Rail Head Denies Split.
"There is no question OF a split" he
said.- "The railroads are all standing
pat on the question of seniority and
any individual settlement will have to
be made in the light of that under
standing"

The association met this morn
ing and reiterated its stand in regard
to seniority and directed it's COM
mittee which met last week with the
brotherhood chiefs to draw up reso-
luton embodying this decision.

that all be restored not. later than Oc-

might arise over seniority rights be
