E. FLAT ROCK
PLANT OUTPUT
IS STEPPED Up
300 Employees With $500
Weekly Pay Roll By
July | Foreseen
MACHINERY MOVED
HERE FROM NORTH

A program of expansion in the
plant equipment and output Of
the Chipman-Burrowes Hosiery
Mills Company establishment at
East Flat Rock until approximate
ly 300 persons are employed or
or before July !. was announced
last night by c. A. Seibcrt, secre-
tary-treasurer of the company
and manager Of the plant.
The announcement, which had
been expected for some time. was
made as a feature of the program
at the first quarterly all-memberS
meeting of the Chamber Of Com
merce at the Hendersonville Inn,
and brought round Of applause.
Mr.. Seibert said the expansion
is a result of a decision of the
company to combine one of its
northern mills with the one at
East Flat Rock, and that % adj
ditional machines already have
arrived here. with IA more SEIZED
uled to arrive in the next two
weeks.
Mr.. Seibert said today that the
plant being abandoned is at La
Crosse, Wis, and that the name
of the company here probably will
be changed to the Chipman-La-
Crosse Hosiery Mills company. r.
C. Stuart, manager of the La
Crosse mills, will come to Hender-
sonville and East Flat Rock and
will be associated with the man
agement of the plant.
All the machinery being moved
here from Wisconsin is for. the
manufacture of WOO! hosiery. Mr..
Seibert said. Heretofore, the East
Flat Rock plant has made purf
silk, artificial silk and wool and
mercerized half hose for men.
Manufacture of all these types Of
hosiery will be continued, with the
production largely increased es-
pecially in the better grades.
Capacity of the East Flat Rock
plant until recently hsa been 1900
dozen pairs of hosiery daily, but
when full control was taken over
by the present ownership last
June only 300 dozen pairs
daily were being made, with 1875
persons employed. About ESQ
persons are at work now, the APP
proximate weekly payroll being
$4,000. and by July 1 this num-
Der will be increased to 300 en-
ployes on full-time schedule,
with weekly payroll Of about
$4,000.
Mr.. SeIbert said the company
would try to get through the year
without erecting new buildings or
charging present ones, but that
he hoped that business will be
such that this cannot be done. He
indicated that the company is pre-
pared to enlarge its physical
equipment at any time that it APP
pears that the additional invest
ment would be warranted.

WASHINGTON, Apr. % CUP
Describing his mission as a war
against unmerited poverty in a
conference held here with news
paper representatives, Prime Min
lister Ramsay Macdonald arrived
here last night to consult with
President Roosevelt over measures
to combat the worldwide blight
of the depression.
The gravity of the problems
involved failed to shadow the
smile of the tall, deep throated
spokesman of Great Britain, as ne
stepped from his train at Union
Station at 5:29 p. n.
He was accompanied by his
pre- ty daughter, Miss Ishbel Mac
Donald.
They were driven at once to

stay until Wednesday.
Last night President Roosevelt
excluded all other business so that
he and his distinguished visitor
could sit before the fire and be-
gin the series of momentOus con-
versations intended to lead to an
agreement among leading world
powers for recovery.
The president made known he
hoped to keep the discussions
down TO "brasstacks" manto-man
basis. He hoped to Danish diplo-
matte sparring.
War debt revision, Mr.. Mac
Donald said in his press audience,
was part of the general economic

BAILEY'S CASE
IN HIGH COURT
U. S. Supreme Tribunal
Hears Arguments On
Extradition

WASHINGTON, April 22-The
United States Supreme court yes,
terday heard arguments on the
part of attorneys for the state
of South Carolina and counsel

of Yancey county North Carolina,
whom the state of South Carolina
is seeking to eXtradite to Green
vile to face a charge Of murder,
ing Policeman A. B. Hunt, of
Greenville, on May l, 1882.
Bailey's extradition was grant
ed by Governor o. Max Gardner,
of North Carolina, but Bailey
sought a writ Of heabcas corpus
before Judge Walter T.. Moore,
who ordered the defendant re-
leased. The North Carolina su-
preme court upheld this decision,
and this affirmation was appeal
ed TO the federal supreme court.
Counsel for South Carolina
argued before the court that the
North Carolina supreme court
had not passed on the evidence
and that the federal court there
fore had jurisdiction.
Clyde r. Hoey, counsel for
Bailey, challenged the jurisdic,,
ton of the supreme court and
argued alibi evidence presented
at the heabeas corpus hearing.
Bailey was arrested for South
Carolina as he lay wounded in
a Sylvia hospital, the neighboring
state contending that Bailey had
been wounded in the battle when
Hunt was slain. Bailey was also
identified by Greenville officers
Bailey offered an alibi that he
was in North Carolina at the
time, and that he had been
wounded in his native state in
an argument over a gambling
debt.
