Corporation, today announced that
presidents of the corporations manu-
featuring subsidiaries would meet
here tomorrow to discuss elimination
of the twelve hour day, for which the
industry long has been criticised.
Mr.. Gary said he had called the

what basis and when to begin to
eliminate the twelve-hour day, 1t
being our desire and intention to
proceed as vigorously as possible.
The intention of the steel industry
to rid itself of the tweIve-hour day
became known recently when Prest-
dent Harding, while in Takoma, made
public correspondence between MIN
and directors of the American Iron
and Steel Institute in which the steel
masters pledged themselves to the re-
vision of shifts as quickly as possible.
Labor leaders then questioned Wnen
a start would be made and Mr.. Gary
in recent interviews in this city sald
the United States Steel Corporation
planned to make a beginning as soon
as increasing labor supplies from
Mexico. the negro south. the Phiip-
NineS and elsewhere made 1t possfoie.
More recently he estimated that
start would be made within six weeks.

himself to be comedian of much
ability. Between acts, vaudeville was

enthusiastically recalled. Mr.. Dough-
erty's fine voice was heard in several
familiar ballads and his Mother Ma

also and he proved himself a versa

RARE STRADIVARIUS
OWNED BY EUBANKS
sumicr Farmer Displays Spleen
did Violin Made BY Master
Builder During 1921

There exists in Sumter county a
rare musical instrument, the value
Of which can be stated only after
it has beer examined by a compe-
tent student Of the art. .This is an
old violin owned by J. w. Eubauks,
who lives upon his small farm near
Americas, and who exhibited the
rare instrument here during Thurs
day.
This violin, made by the master
violin builder Antonius Straduarius.
is inscribed inside with the mark Of
it's maker, "Antonius Stradivarius
Cremoniensis Faciebunt, 1921" The
date indicates the age of the instru-
ment, the tones of which are de-
scribed as extremely mellow and
beautiful. That it is genuine
product Of the great master violin
builder there is little doubt, as
Mr. Eubanks has owned the instru-
ment during many years and is vel.
acquainted with its history.
Having priced the instrument
during all the years it has been in
his possession, Mr.. Eubanks states
that he is very loath to part with
the violin, but during the current
year his cotton crop was total
failure, and that because of finan-
cial necessity he may be forced to
part with it. The instrument is to
be sent to Atlanta within few
days where it will be exhibited to
a number of Georqia's leading mu-
sicians and probably sold.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP Of
STREET RAIL WAYS
Cites Detroit Street Railways AS

troll Failure
COMPLETE FAILURE CLAIM
Says Public Must Protect Pri-
voteIy Owned Railways or
Public VIII Lose

ATLANTIC CITY. Oct. 10
Public ownership was scored as
"socialistic and in nine cases out
of ten saturated with politics and
ineffciency, by c. D. Emmons, OF
Baltimore, president of the Ameri-
can Electric Railway Association.
addressing that organization in
convention this week. Several
thousand electric railway men
from all parts Of the world were
present.
THE problem before all who
would preserve a prosperous, sane
nation is to demonstrate to the I'M
thinging the falsity of dema-
gogus who advance the socialistic
cause and the ruin that lies
in adoption of their nostrums,"
Mr.. Emmons said:
The Detroit nna;c;pal street
railway situation was cited by Mr..
Emmons as an example Of the in
ability of municipal control adj
vocates to keep their promises.
There, he said, CITY officials pro-
claimed, at the end of a years
municipal oDerafion, that they had
made a ''profit of $1,000,000
under a five cent fare" only to be
compelled to admit, a few weeks
later that the so-called "profit"
was gone and that a fare raise
and 2 new bond issue would be nee
css8rv to keep the lines running.
"The people of Detroit were
promised the five-cent fare, ey-
tended service, the finest equip
ment and payment for the proper
ty out Of earnings, and no more
bond issues by municipal con-
troll advocates" he said:
Such promises are easily made,
but not easy to live up to. Were it
possible for a municipality to en-
ploy labor and buy materials at
lower prices than privately owned
companies must pay, demagogic
promises might be kept. But one
cannot escape facts, and the fac,
in the cast Of Detroit is that when
1t became necessary to increase the
wages Of employees Of the Depart
ment of Street Railways, those in
charge of the railways could turn
only to the car riders for the adj
ditional money, and they increased
the fare to six cents, plus one cent
for a transfer They did right,
but they did nothing different
from what every privately owned
property has had to do in similar

NEGRO FARMER LOSES
PURSE CONTAINING SOS


John r. Terry, negro farmer
living in Schley county, had the
misfortune to lose his purse today
on the STREETS Of Americas, between
Sheffield Hardware store and H..
j. Stevens Stable.
Terry, who had TIE purse in his
hip pocket, had stopped at the large
roll Of wire on the side Of the Shelf
field store, and was separating
some bills preparatory to paying a
small debt owed to the Stevens
stable.
Placing, as he thought, the purse
again in his pocket, Terry went to
the stable, there discovering that
lis money was gone, returning 10
the Sheffield store, he found no
trace Of the purse.
The purse was a black leather,
and contained a total of S95, in de-
nomination Of four 500, one $40,
and a SIS dollar gold piece. Per-
sonal receipts made to John T.

in this connection I think it is
timely and proper to state again
the attitude of the Association tn
ward public ownership. That we
are opposed to it is common knowl-
edge, but why we are opposed TO It
may not be understood By the pun
lie Our opposition is not because
we fear the loss of our property
the laws of this country protect all
enterprises from confiscation with
out payment of the full value ef
the property taken. Our opposi-
ton is not due to fear Of loss Of
profits, for some of the largest
railways in the country have made
no profits for several years.
"Why, then, are we, and all
other business organizations, on
posed to public ownership? Be
cause it is foreign to and in con
flict with the fundamental priu-
ciples of the American govern
ment; because it is socialistic; be-
cause it is in nine instance out Of
ten wasteful. saturated with poll
tics and inefficiencv, and because
once it is established as a principle
it means the end of representa-
tive form of government and the
beginning of socialstic govern
ment.
"The public in most communi-
ties has come to understand that
the street railway companies are

cannot do this unless a fair deal
