worker is trained man and the
building of furniture is a special
ty. Coal miners are not prepared
to do this sort of work. I think
you would find it necessary to
abandon any plans to develop
them into furniture builders.
altogether the policy seems to
me to be one that is not indicat-
ed by the situation, and more
over. it is contrary to sound pub
lie policy. There are some bust
nesses which the government must
perform, like that of carrying the
mails, but there is no reason why
the government should manufac-
ture furniture for the post office
department or for the other de-
partments here. Government COM
petition with taxpayers is equal
to taking taxes from them, in or
der to compete with them.
This sort of policy will destroy
itself. A man cannot pay taxes
to maintain a government busl-
ness in competition with mis- own
business. He is at hopeless dis
advantage. To entertain this
course is to go down a long road
in the direction of many govern
ment activities in competition
with private enterprises, and look
ing down the road, we can see a
great accumulation Of government
employees unnecessarily employed
bv the government, taken out OF
those enterprises which provide
the circulation of money.
81 may say to you that we
have at the present time so many
people CT the government payroll
that an office-holding class is be-
ing created. If this class should
become sufficiently numerous to
control elections. we would have
an end of popular government
and the public employee would be-
come the master of the people
rather than their servant,
1t is of the very essence of our
American civilization that the
public official must be a public
servant and subordinate to the
people, but when they become
sufficiently numerous to control
elections the situation is reversed.
81 do hope that you will re-
consider this whole matter.
81 need not assure you that
this letter is written to you with
the utmost respect and friend
ship" Bailey concluded.
Ickes in his letter to Senator
Bailey said 1875 stranded miners
would be employed to manufac-
ture furniture for post offices,
and that the post office depart
ment assured full responsibility.

ficulties" of giving them reliet

repeated the suggestion "made fol
their relief" by the sub-letting Of
operations from the airmail con
tractors without approving it per
sonally. since "I had serious mis-
givings with respect to its practi'
cability and soundness."
Brown explained that he invited
the judgment of the operators and
told them, in a general way, the
administrations ideas, at the same
time inviting them to submit then
opinions.
The operators he said, then re-
cessed for the purpose of consult
ing with their attorneys. Among
the lines represented, he added
were Western Air Express, Trans,
continental Air Transport. United
Aircraft, National Air Transport
and the Stout Airlines.
Information concerning tho
meetings, Brown emphasized, was
given to the press. Subsequently
he declared, the air line operators
presented him with a report IN
which cit was decided to submit
to the comptroller general the
question of just how far the de-
partment could go in granting ex'
tensions to existing routes"
"This report of the opera

the definite conclusion that the
plan previously suggested of al
fording aid to the passenger car
riers who had no mail contracts
was impracticable ard unsound.
"The only extension suggested
by the report quoted. which the
department, subsequently author,
led. were extensions which, the
department had under considera,
ton before the meeting of May

| made whether the industry ap'
proved the same"

situations and innuendoes" were
being used to justify cancellation

'BREVARD MEN
PUT UP BOND
Pless To Represent State
State In Habeas Corpus
Hearing Thursday

BREVARD, Feb. 16. - The
$4,000 posted as restitution by
four Brevard men under sentence
for violating the state banking
laws, was levied on second time
today by the State Planters bank
of Virginia. =.
The Virginia bank claimed 1t
had rediscounted worthless notes
of the Brevard bank.
Yesterday the State levied on
the money to satisfy judgment OF
an income tax claim against JOS
eph Pickelsimer, one OF the oe-
PENDANTS.
BREVARD, Feb. 16.-Bonds OF
$4,000 each were posted here
Thursday by four Transylvanla
county men in compliance with
the order of Judge T. B. Finley,
from whom the men obtained a
writ of habeas corpus at North
Wilkesboro Wednesday night.
The bonds were posted here
shortly after the men returned
to their homes from North Will
kesboro. The writ of habeas
corpus saved the men at least
temporarily from the penitentl-
airy. Application for the writ
was a last-minute move on the
part of the men who were sche-
duled to enter States prison,
Raleigh, Thursday morning to
serve terms of two to three years
for bank law violations.
The four men: Thomas H.
Shipman, former president of the
closed Brevard Banking company;
Joseph Pickelsimer, former chair
man of the Pennsylvania board
of county commissioners; c. r.
McNeely, former county commits
sioner and county auditor and
Ralph Fisher, former Transylvan-
ia county attorney.
Those signing the bonds for
the four men are as follows.
For Shipman: C. W. Pickelsi-
mer, Ross Shipman, Mamie Ship
man and Annie Shipman. ..
For McNeely: C. w. Pickelsim-
er, T. G. Lotion and Agnes
Pickelsimer.
For Joseph Pickelsimer: C. w.
Pickelsimer and Agnes Picket
sinner. -
For Fisher: ]. A. McCrary, w.
S. Hooker, Jane Hooker, and M.
w. Galloway. -
In granting the writ of habeas
corpus, Judge Finley, set Thurs
day morning. February %, at 10
o'clock for a hearing, which is
to be held at Marion.
Parole Commissioner Edwin M.
Gill said in Raleigh Thursday that
District Solicitor ]. Will Pless,
Jr., of Marion will represent the
state, at the habeas corpus hear
ing.
The four were convicted in
August, 1881, of violation of the
state bank laws in which they
were charged with having issued
p1OO,OOO III SouuGy Odh oiitlSiPo-
ton notes in an attempt to save
the tottering Brevard bank. They
have since avoided beginning
sentences through various legal
moves including two appeals to
the state supreme court and sew
eral respites. the last one expir-
ing at midnight Wednesday.
In applying for the writ of
habeas corpus attorneys for the
four men presented as grounds
the fact that restitution of $780,
600 has bees made to the county
and that the judge who pro.
nounced the last sentence haC
recommended clemency.
Their petition also alleges the
court which tried them was i'm
properly organized, the grant
jury which indicted them was il
legal. and the jury which con
yicted them was improperly
drawn.

D. c. Heads Still DeadIocked

Still deadlocked over the per-

Control Board, the District Com
missionerS today awaited word
from the White House before
taking any action on liquor con-

Until the President signs the
District liquor bill, which was to-

Department of Justice, it is not
expected that any announcement
as to the board or other control
matters will be made by local au-
thorities.
Neither Relents
The dispute among the Com
misSioners concerns the number of
women to be named on the board.
Melvin C. Hazen, president of the
Board of Commissioners, favors
naming one woman and two men,
while Commissioner George E.
Allen continues to insist upon
two women.
The third Commissioner, Major
John c. GotWals, when questioned
as to his attitude, said:
"There should be one woman
on the board. If a second is
available of unusual capacity,
1 would still be open to cOnvic-

woman on the board"
Neither Allen or Hazen showed
any indication of changing his
stand today, but it is expected
that one or the other will give

that the President has signed the
bill.

The name of Mrs. Woodrow

Mrs. Wilson will give the matter

to accept the position if she is
appointed.

continues to crop up in rumor
is Mrs. William Beverly Mason,
wife of a local physician. Among
men who figure prominently in
speculation are Richard Dickson,

President Roosevelt will recog-
nize the new Cuban government
of President Carlos Mendieta
within the next "a hours, Inter-
national News Service learned
today.
The President decided to extend
recognition on the basis of repre-
Sentations of Secretary of State
Hull and jefferson Caffery, the
Presidents personal representative
at Havana.
Both Secretary Hull and Caff-
cry feel that the fact that the
army, navy and major political
elements are supporting the Men
dieta government is sufficient evil
dence to indicate the new regime
will be capable of establishing
reasonably permanent stability.
Decision of the President to ex-
tend immediate recognition was
learned following the announce
ment by Secretary Hull that rep
reSentativeS of all the Sou h
American nations had been invited
to confer with Mr.. Roosevelt at
the White House this afternoon.
The President, it was learned,
will inform the Latin American
representatives at that time of
this Governments intention.
