stions of the industry.
Picketing activities went on
with undiminished vigor thru
out the day resulting in the
calling out on strike the workers of
many shops and also few of the
largest in the industry, such as the
big Sadowsky shop. Thirty pickets
were arrested yesterday.
The work of mobilization for
spreading the strike, which was en-
phasized by all the strike leaders in
their speeches to the strikers, was
entered into by the strike commit
tee after they had taken up clause
by clause the tentative agreement
the unions conference committee
had worked out in the negotiations
with the Dress Manufacturers Pro-
tective Association.
After Charles S. Zimmerman, who
read the proposed agreement TO the
strike committee, had pointed out
that besides the 40-hour, five-day
week, the no discharge provision
and the minimum wage scale, the
new union had succeeded in having
the employers concede a one-week
trial period instead of a two-week
period. In the old agreement, which
the company union is now alleged
TO have with other dress bosses,
boss had the right to dismiss
worker if he claimed that after two
weeks trial the worker dio not suit
him. In the present pact the trial
period is not only one week, but
even then a dismissal cannot take
place unless the union agrees to it.
After discussion on the tenta-
tive agreement had taken place, the
strike committee gave its leaders it's
endorsement and then made a de-
eision 10 call a strike mass meeting
for ratification of the pact by the
rank and file before the agreement
goes into effect.
At the mass meetings earlier in
the day the strike leaders had con-
demned as enemy propaganda, de-
signed to injure the inspiring soli
darity of the strike, the tale that
the strike had ended. This was the
story carried in nearly all capitalist
papers when they heard of n pro-
posed agreement with the Protec
tive Association. The socialist press
picked l. up and howled that the
strike had ended.
"The Needle Trades Workers In
dustrial Union will never enter into
any agreements before the general
strike committee and before the
rank and file Of the strikers have
given their official endorsement of
any settlements.
The Needle Trades Workers In
dustrial Union announced late yes
terday the calling of a mass meet
ing of all cloakmakers for the COM
ing Monday evening at 7 o'clock in
Bryant Hall, Sixth Ave. and 42nd
st.
A mass membership meeting of
the furriers has also been called,
this one for tonight in the Irving
Plaza Hall, 18th st. and Irving Pl.

The purpose of these two meet
ings is to report to the workers of
these trades the present status of
the strike in the dress industry how
the mobilization of the cloakmakers
and furriers to aid the strike can be
the most speedily accomplished and
what immediate measures shall be
taken in that direction. These meet
ings will also take up local trade
problems.
"Stories to the effect that the
strike is settled, which was the in
depreciation given to yesterdays de-
velopments by all the capitalist pa
pers, is absolutely false" was the

lima Playmakers has arranged
for November a Northern tour
which will take. the troupe to
New York City; Morristown,

schedule yet undertaken by the
organization. Besides the eXpe-
dition to the North there will
be a tour Of eastern North Caro-
lima and the South in February,
and in April a tour of western
North Carolina and Tennessee.
Frederick II. Koch, who is
now teaching dramatic literature
in the University of California,
will be back in Chapel Hill early
next month. The Playmakers
will have their first assembly

the opening of classes for the
fall quarter.
Six major performances are
planned for Chapel Hill. There
will be three folk-play bills, two
professional plays Tone Of which

Shoe Man Gets Shark
Companion of Chapel Hin Fishermen
Hooks a Big Animal

A crowd stood in circle in
front of Bruce Strowd's garage
Monday morning and stared at
an object lying on the sidewalk.
1t was a shark about two and a
half feet long.
Troy Herndon, George HELEN,
and Bruce Sparrow went down
to Swannsboro for the weekend.
When they put out to sea in a
motor boat they were accom-
panied by two Goldsboro citi-
Zens. one being Thomas Nor
wood, the banker, and the other
being somebody whom Mr..
HELEN, unable to recall the name,
describes as a shoe man.
At about seven miles from the
shore the fishermen cast out
their lines. Croakers and trout
were dragged in by the dozen,
and at last the shoe man from
Goldsboro felt a jerk on his line
that told him he was in connec-
ton with a much bigger fish.
After a spirited fight he pulled
in a shark. He gave it to the
three Chapel Hillians, and they
brought it home to display on
the main street.
They also brought home a
nail keg full of croakers and
trout.

WAGES Garnisheed for Taxes

The government of the town
of Chapel Hill is now engaged
in collecting from delinquent
taxpayers for the year 1923. The
garnishee process is resorted to
when payment cannot be OBJ
tanned in any other way.
In the month of June the
town advertised, as required by
law, the names of delinquent
taxpayers and the amounts they
owed. The list covered several
newspaper columns. A consid-
cradle amount of money, but not
nearly all that was due, was col
lected as result of the adver-
tisement.
In the case of owners of real
estate the procedure is simple
enough: the real PROPERTY of the
man who does not pay up is sold
at auction after a certain time
has elapsed, But the town does

an Automobile Accident

Skidding on a wet asphalt
pavement caused Mrs. M. f. Ho-
gan to suffer a broken arm, and
Miss Mittie Pickard to get her

The Hogan LaSalle sedan,
driven by Mr., Bender, was spin
ming along on its way to

the right to pass oncOming cars,
its wheels skiddeG and it left
the road and turned over. The
driver, the nurse, and the two
boys, Milton and Taylor, were
not hurt. Mrs. Hogan and Miss
Pickard were taken to a hospital
in Goldsboro. Mr.. Hogan, in
formed of the accident by tele-
phone, went to them at once.

resumed their journey to the
beach in a day or two, but Miss
Pickard came back to Chapel

RECEIVERS HOPE
THEIR JOB WILL
END IN OCTOBER
Final Auction Sale of Realty
Advertised for Tuesday,
September 3rd
LIABILITIES NOW s267,OOO

The receivers of the Chapel
Hill Insurance and Realty Com
pany-M. f. Hogan. w. S. Rob-
erson, and |. w. Pritchard-
have advertised their final sale
of real estate for Tuesday, Sep
tember 3. When all realty hold
ings have been disposed of, the
next move will be to advertise
and sell the accounts and office
supplies. The receivers hope to
wind up the affairs of the bank
rupt concern and to get their
discharge from the court before
the end of October.
The total liabilities when the
receivership began were $634,-
600. They have been reduced by
$367,000 and therefore now
stand at $267,000,
On the books the assets are
down at $270,000, which is
enough to satisfy the liabilities,
but the actual value of the as
sets is known to be far below the
book figure. How far below, of
course nobody knows exactly.
Theprice at which various prop
critics have sold indicate that the
actual value of the assets will
not be, at most, more than half
the liabilities. If they amount
to that much the gap between
the assets and liabilities will be
$135,000. 1t was known long
ago that nothing would be left
for the stockholders; the concern
of the receivers has been to go
as far as possible toward salts
flying the creditors,
Some of the heaviest losses
were suffered by men who en-
dorsed the company's notes.

Drunk in a Buggy

A man drunk in a buggy
that is news in these days.
Time was when it was a more
or less familiar sight. But the
automobile has reduced the
buggy to the status of an an
cient relic, and the prevailing
fashion for the driving drunk
ard is that he shall hold in his
uncertain grip not reins but a
steering wheel. And so, when
a buggy-driver under the influ-
ence of liquor was captured on
the Chapel Hill-Durham high
way and turned over to the Dur
ham county authorities, it
caused such a sensation that yes
terday's Durham Herald cele-
brated the arrest with a big
black double-column headline.
People along the highway saw
a Sprightly horse and an open
top buggy moving along the CEN
ter of the highway. The horse,
improperly guided, was struck
by one car, and several times a
collision was narrowly aVerted.
Onlookers began telephoning to
the sheriff of Durham county,
John Harvard. But before he
could get a deputy to the scene
L. NJ. Rackley of the Chapel Hill
police force came along and ar
rested the man. He gave his
name as c. +. Reeves and his
residence as Durham county.
He was locked up on the charge
of drunkenness and damage to
property.

THIS COMMUNITY
IS INTERESTED IN
M'COIN FORECAST
People Are Wondering How
Many Students Will Attend
University This Year
NO ESTIMATE is OFFERED

Considerable interest was
aroused in Chapel Hill by the APP
pearance in the newspapers last
Sunday of a statement from R.
S. McCoin, member of the states
advisory budget commission, to
the effect that practically all
state educational institutions
would have fewer students this
year than last.
Inquiry at the University reg
istrar's office brings the infor-
nation that, while the number
of applications for admission is
slightly behind the number at
this time last year, the increase
day by day is larger. That is,
the deficiency Of 1929 as COM
pared with 1923 is being cut
down.
"There is really no way of
forming any trustworthy esti-
mate Of what the attendance will
be-" says Registrar r. J. Will
son, Jr. Experience has shown
that there is little uniformity
about the stream of applications
IN the summer. That is, in one
year there may be fewer on, say,
August lst, than there were on
August 1st the year. before, but
more on August 18th than there
were on August 18th the year
before. So the receipt of appli-
cations does not provide a basis
for an estimate that is worth
anything"
The expectation around the
University seems to be that the
enrolment this year will show
some increase over last years
even If it does not reach the
highWater mark of 1927.

not hold such a convenient axe
over the head of the personal
property tax delinquent. The
law provides, however, that the
wages of a delinquent may be
garnisheed; that is, his employer
must hold out of his wages
enough money to satisfy the tax
debt.
I'VE are not garnisheeing
wages except as a very last re-
sort, said Town Manager
Foushee. I'VE advertised the
delinquents according to law,
and then we sent notices to those
who were still in arrears. Now
the towns officers are calling in
person at the homes of people
whose taxes remain unpaid.
Thus we exhaust all persuasive
processes before we garnishee
anybody's wages. We are max
ing good progress toward get
ting the books cleared"

Kay Kyser's Success
People in Middle West Like Carolina
Man and His Musicians

Word comes to Chapel Hill of
the success Of Kay Kyser and
his orchestra in the Middle West.
They opened recently at Valley
Dale, Columbus, Ohio, and i'm
mediately struck the popular
fancy.
The orchestra is booked to 90
to Lexington, Kentucky, soon for
stay Of two weeks, and then
to New York to make six rec
ords for the Victor company.
Their opening at Bamboo Gar
dens, Cleveland, Ohio, is sched-
uled for August 20.
One newspaper reviewer in
Columbus writes:
There is not bone in Kay
Kyser's rangy body that is not
comical and there is certainly
not one that is lazy. If anyone
tells you that Southerners are
all indolent, point them to this
Kyser outfit which works harder
with surer effect than any band
seen in many moons. Kay, a
born buffoon and a natural lead
er, works actively in nearly
every number.
Their effects, especially their
comedy stunts, are not only we'll
planned but sometimes end with
a well-built climax which has all
the stir of a Sousa march. His
specialties are so many that we
shall not enumerate any, but we
will remark that Kay has plenty
of good comedians, several good
singers, excellent men on all the
instruments, two pianists who
fill the bill neatly, with both of

The only excuse she had ever

it was a relief to the person ap-
