PEACE TO INDUSTRY

Local leather workers afiliated
with the International Leather Work
ers' Enion. who had met a proposi-
tion from their employers for a Is
per cent. wage reduction with the
counter proposal OF l5 per cent.
wage increase, agreed last night 10
withdraw their wage demand and the
companies agreed to continue the
present wage scale. In this manner
a strike which threatened 70 tie up
the industry was averted.
The amicable solution OF the con-
troversy was brought about by
Thomas J Williams. a commissioner
OF the division OF conciiliation OF the
Department Of Labor who was as
sened 20 the case by James J. Davis.
Secretary OF Labor.
Mr.. Williams came here after John
C. Sayior. OF the Central Labor
Union had visited Washington. and
explained the situation.
Tho question was finally settled
last night after Mr.. williams ex-
planned 10 the members of the three
locals Of the International Leather
Workers Union, at a meeting in the
Labor Temple. that the company
had agreed 70 continue the existing
wage scale. and not make a proposed
cut Of Is per cent.
Immediately following Mr.. viii
liams' address the leather workers
by unanimous vote decided not to
press their counter demand for a
Is per cent increase in wages.
Mr Williams made II under

frantically singing his arms,
his face bruised and bleeding,
talking incoherently and wildly
and altogether disheveled and

two weeks ago and the first
chapter closed when Williams
slapped his wife Sunday morn

Tuesday morning Williams
was overcome by his loneliness
and a passionate yearning for
his wife enveloped him. He
hitched his horse and began a
hopeful trip to see his wife In
a fruitless effort to compro-
mise and reunite. The repent

Shoot Davisis' home, about
three miles out the Hope road,
he espied his wife among a
crowd of cotton pickers a quar-
ter mile from the road. He
drove into the field and ap-
preached the party but was
given a sign to stop by Davis.
Williams stepped out of his
buggy and the two men met and

convince his adversary that he

Organization From Local
Pulpit.

Rev. Walter w. Nelson of
Gurdon preached a powerful
sermon to a large congregation
at the Methodist church Tues
day night on the merits of the
Ku Klux Klan.
He was emphatic, forceful
and even dramatic at times and
left his hearers with no ambi-
guities to wrestle with. He
highly praised and commended
the Klan for its efforts to purl-
fly the country, lift the morals
and christianize the people. lie
stated the organization stood
for the protection Of woman
hood, the eradication of the
whiskey traffic and many other
shameful vices and evils that
law does not always reach.
His scathing denunciation OF
Catholicism, which, he SAID, was
born and reared in ignorancac
and lived because of its secrecy,
was a part of his address.
The meeting was warm and
a kindly feeling was felt toward
one and the other throughout
the audience. Many stayed to
shake hands and have a word
with Mr.. Nelson when the SER
vice was over.
During the closing exercises
the Rev. Nelson invited any
Klansman who cared, to come
up and shake hands with him.
