to peep out of the hole again. To this

Hays was turning to the left, his re-

down the slope on the other side. He
fired ~again-then no more. Those who
were left of Heeseman's outfit had
taken flight. Hays watched them,

kept on watching them.
Soon he turned back and, sheathing

It was at this moment that jim relin-

ions regarding Marvin's statement

cies in the youths story, although his

dents there at the time and for six

Uniform tokens, good on all bus and

ORDERS STRIKERS
TO RESEEK Jobs
Textile Union Chiefs Seek
to Determine DiScrim-
ination Cases.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Textile strikers refused re-employ-
ment have been ordered by union
chiefs, in a statement. to apply for
work again on Monday.
Acting upon the direct recommended
ton Of the new Textile Labor Board,
erstwhile strike leaders adopted this
procedure as a means of gaining gen.
eral REORGANIZATION of the basis of
discrimination complaints already filed
with the board.
BY this method will be ascertained
the exact number Of cases to be ad-
Indicated by that tribunal.
Instructed by Board.
ct conferred with the Textile Board, "
Francis J. German, national Strike
Committee chairman, said late yeSter-
day, "and I was authorized by the
board to notify all local unions that
have discrimination cases to send the
workers to the mills on Monday morn
ing and from that point we shall learn
how many cases of discrimination we
will have to handle.
i am, therefore, issuing an order
to all workers who took part in the
strike and who have not been re-
employed in mills which are opened
to report for work on Monday. The
locals will then fill out forms sent
from this of1ice giving us the details
Of each discrimination case"
The members of the board are
strongly in favor of conciliatory meth
DDS in approaching these charges and
all other labor disputes with which
they must deal. More forceful pro-
cedure is to be reserved as a las.
resort.
Give Owners a Chance.
The board is understood to feel that
with the erstwhile strikers again seek
ing work the mill owners will be given
a new opportunity to comply without
appreciable loss of face with President
Roosevelt's request that all be re-
hired.
In addition, it will give them time to
consider the recommendation of the
cotton textile code authority that the
owners respond to the presidential ap-
peal except in the case of strikers who
engaged in lawless violence during the
walk-out.
This recommendation was contained
in statement pledging the co-opera-
ton OF the manufacturers in carrying
out the peace plan proposed by the
Winant Mediation Board, but claim
ing the right of consultation before
code changes are made and contend
ing creation of the new Labor Board
was unnecessary.
German earlier had accused the
code authority OF "subterfuge" in
connection with the Unemployment
recommendation.

port. Through that narrow gate
flowed no small part of the men,
ammunition and supplies for the
American Expeditionary Forces. 1t
was a Herculean job, and the manner
in which Gen. Harries performed 1t
makes it one of the notable achieve
ments of the American Army In
France.
Gen. Harries retired from active
business about 1890. He remained a
vice president of the Byllesby Co.
He purchased home in Los Angeles
in 1881 and there had devoted most
of his time in writing his memoirs
on his experiences in France and Ger
many during the war.
Although living in California, Gen
Harries still considered the Capital
as his home.
Prior to coming to Washington, Gen.
Harries had visited his son, Capt
Herbert l.. HarrieS, who will be retired
from the Army next month with the
rank of lieutenant colonel. Capt. Har-
ries is stationed at Fort Benning.
Younger Son Killed.
While he was stationed at Brest his
younger son, Warren, who was serving
as an aide on his staff, was killed in
an automobile accident on the out
skirts of the French city.
Gen. Harries' first wife, Elizabeth
langley Harries, whom he married
in Washington in 1884, died in 1925.
Since that time he had stopped at the
Army and Navy Club on his frequent
visits to the city.
Besides his widow. Mrs. Alice Love-
land Harries, to whom he was married
in 1927. and his son, Gen. Harries is
survived by a sister, Miss Florence
Harries, of this city, and . brother,
Frederick L. Harries, of Takoma
Park, Md, and three stepchildren,
Mrs. Lyman Munson, jr- wife of Lieut.
Munson, Preside, San Francisco; Al
fred Loveland OF Phoenix, Ariz., and
Jack Loveland Of Oklahoma City,
Okla.
An intense student and q man Of
broad sympathies, Gen. Harries was
almost entirely self educated. He was
given the degree Of NJ. A. from How
ard University in recognition of his
lectures on Colonial history, and he
later received the degree Of LII. D.
from the Kentucky State University.
Gen. Harries was elected comman-
der in chief of the Military Order
of the World War after that conflict
and was presented the Distinguished
Service Medal.

1t is singular also that retail busi-
ness is doing very well. much better
than seasonal. August department
store sales were 10 per cent better
than seasonal and September was al
most as good month as August.
The answer to that. of course, Is
the fact that the Government is
doling out cash in more substantial
quantities The F. E R. A. and
A. A. A. appear to be more than max
ing up so far for any deficiencies in
the drought and strike regions.
In fact, the Government is large

ing industry, the NATIONAL shouting
of industrial production wouid not

it lUds in September.
1t appears that the Government has
passed the point of merely printing
the business pump and is now actually
pumping with vigor.
Consider the Chart.
You can reach your own conclusions
about things from the following

sents the percentage of normal at the

1925 being considered normal fol
everything except prices.
The chart follows:
