Prices of soft coal are expected

The country will. however, be in

In case of strike and serious
tie-up of the coal supply, the
President will again be faced with
the necessity of declaring a public
emergency and naming an emer-
gency fuel commissioner, since the
office of Federal fuel commissioner,
authorized by Congress, will expire
September %. The President took
that action in 1922 to meet the
fuel situation until Congress acted.
Fear Radical Element.
Officials frankly admitted they
feared a radical element is highly
influential, If not in control of the
anthracite unions, and that their
demands for higher wages and
shorter hours might result in a
strike. No official steps to guard
against a strike are possible, ex.
cepting the negotiations of the
Federal Coal Commission with oper.
ators and miners by which it is
hoped some amicable adjustment
may be made.

BILL DESIGNED TO
END LOCAL. BILLS
PUT IN BY PACE
Sumter Senator Would Relieve
Legislature of Burden of
Countless Bills
MAY AMENDCONsTITUTION
If Adopted Plan Would Permit
Counties to DO Their Own
Local Legislation

A bill designed to relieve the
general assembly of the burden Of
local legislation and to permit this
to be handled by the counties them
selves, has just been introduced in
the legislature at Atlanta by Sena-
torStephen Pace, Of Sumter.
The plan embraced in the pro.
posed bill is to amend the consti-
tuition so as to permit the general
assembly by the enactment Of
general law to delegate certain pow
ers to the various counties and mu-
inequalities of the state. Among
these powers would be the authority
to pass purely local legislation af-
fecting only such counties or munic-
ipalities, provided such legislation be
approved by the people affected be-
fore it shall become effective.
The effect of the legislation, if
adopted, would be to give to the
general assembly its entire time
during the constitutional fifty-day
session for the consideration Of gen
eral bills, and it should lift the
standard of membership in that
body through attracting men as
members who are interested in the
problems of state affecting the
whole people and the development
of Georgia's agricultural, mineral
and industrial resources. and who
are not willing to serve as legisla-
tors now. due to the necessity for
considering such a mass of local leg
islation annually. At least this is
claimed for the bill by its Supporters
and it is expected the measure viii
ultimately pass both houses, though
the likelihood that it will be adopted
at this session now appears rather
slim.

AMERICUS VETS MAY
ATTEND ROME MEET
Efforts to Be Made to Provide
Transportation for Members
of Camp Sumter

Americus Confederate veterans,
members of Camp Sumter, No. 642,
U: C. ", are planning to attend
the state reunion to be held held
at Rome next month, but funds are
lacking for their transportation and
maintenance while there. This an
nouncement was authorized today
by j. D. Stewart, an officer and
active worker in the camp here.
In announcing the veterans lack
of funds to defray transportation
and other expenses, Mr.. Stewart
drew attention to the relatives cost
of railroad transportations between
the coming reunion at Rome, and
previous reunions. When the re-
union was held at Chattanooga in
1921, ne said, the railroad fare
from Americus was about $3.50 to
tire Richmond reunion in 1922,
$12.6O, to the New Orleans reunion
in 1928, 1914, and to the Rome
reunion in 1922, $500 Attention
was called to the relatively high
rate charged for the Rome reunion,
as compared with the really low
rates granted other reunion points.
Information received from AL
bany is to the effect, Mr.. Stew
art said, that citizens there are
preparing to transport Albany vet
Grams to the reunion in automo-
biles, and the suggestion has been
made that the plan be adopted by
other towns. In order to attend
the reunion it will be necessary
for the veterans to leave Americus
during the morning of September
Il, and they will be gone during
September II and IL, returning
hSme the night of the alst named
date.
One Americus citizen has already
offered the use of his automobile,
Mr.. Stewart said today, the only
condition being that sufficient oil
and gasoline for use during the
trip be supplied by others interest
ed in their attending the reunion.
The number of automobiles neces-
sary for the accommodation of the
veterans desiring to make the trip
may be obtained by inquiry of Mr..
Stewart, who is actively working to
see that the veterans are enabled
to attend the reunion.
