FREEZING

Memorial services for deceased
members of the McFall family
were held at the graveyard at the
Roland McFall place Sunday by
Elders Thurston Meade and Earl
Mullins.
Octavus McFall, aged citizen of
the Bold Camp section, is visiting

ton of the limbs, he has been
unable to walk for years and oc-
cupies a wheel-chair.

Pound River, about the end of
the White Ridge. Another fire
was reported as raging at the

B. H. (Fish Hook) Mullins, sage
and seer of the Cumberlands,
looks for rather severe winter,
citing various reasons for his be-
lief, mainly that corn husks are
unusually thick this year.
Arthur Carico, of the Jonesville
CCC camp, visited relatives here
recently.
Relatives of John Cox still have
no information as to his where
abouts. Persons at Shelby Gap
report seeing him there late in the
evening July 4th. After that he
seemed to disappear from his ma
tive haunts as completely as if the
earth had swallowed him. Mem
bers of his family have made con-
siderable search and investigation
without unearthing a single clue
and they are now of the opinion
that he met foul play at some
point in Cumberland Mountain.

BY JOHN. C. HENRY.

Three bitter foes of the National
Labor Relations Board appeared be-
fore the Senate Committee on Edu-
cation and Labor today to demand
repeal or sweeping revision of the
labor relations law.
With major amendments pending,
Senators Burke. Democrat, of Ne
braska. and Holman. Republican, of
Oregon, asked favorable considera-
ton for their own suggestions. but
broadened their position to say they
also favored other amending pro-
posals.
Representative Hoffman, Republi-
can. of Michigan, came across the
Capitol to ask outright repeal of
the law.
All punctuated their demands by
frequent and scathing denunciation
OF the board and its administrative
policies, and all asked for its replace
ment or complete abolition.
Asserting he is prepared to prove
his charges that the law is now an
unbalanced thing administered by a
biased and unfair" administrative
agency, Senator Burke also asked
the committee for permission to
bring to Washington "a reasonable
number of employers and employees
who are qualified by experience" to
substantiate his contentious.
In reviewing his own amending
proposals, the Senator placed great
est emphasis on the suggestion that
the present board be retired by Feb
ruary l, 1910, with their places to be
taken by three new members, one
representing employees, one repre-
senting employers and the third rep.
resenting the public.
To support this plan, he cited quo
tations of 1884 by A. F. L. President
William Green, C. I. o. President
John l.. Lewis and Secretary of La.

division on the administrative board

House Committee
Reaches Impasse
On D. {. Taxes
Dirksen and Botes Fioht
To Eliminate Provision
For SoIes Tox

The full House District Committee
reached virtual impasse today over
the controversial combination retail
sales-income tax feature of the
Nichols revenue bill.
For more than an hour the men,
bers battled behind closed doors and
unable to agree, arranged to hold
another executive session tomorrow
at 10 o'clock.
A group of Republican members
lead by Representatives Qirksen of
Illinois and Bates of Massachu-
sets, it is understood, fought vigor-
ously to have the per cent sales tax
eliminated and the income tax ex-
emption lowered to the Federal in
come tax level. The bill, in its pres
ent form, would affect only earned
income in excess of $4,000 a year
and unearned income above $500 a
year. Representative Schultz, DEM
ocrat. of Indiana is said to have
supported the Republican members.
Several Members Absent.
Definite action on the bill was not
taken, it was announced, because Of
the absence of several members who
are vitality interested in the new
revenue legislation.
The committee, however, in a pub
lie session preceding the executive
meeting. favorably reported a bill
fixing fees for the subpoena services
of the United States marshal and
decided not to withdraw from the
House calendar bill designed to
establish a so-called fair trade prac-
tice" law in the District.
Reconsideration Is Urged.
Mrs. John Boyle, jr., chairman. of
the Consumers Council, appealed to
the committee to reconsider its previ-
Gus action In approving the bill,
pointing out it would vitality affect
the pocketbooks of Washington con-
sumers.
Roland Jones, Washington repre-
sentative of the Association of Re-
tail Druggists, argued, however, that
the. proposed legislation would not
result in increased prices, but, on the
contrary, probably would result in
a reduction of 2 or per cent. SINH
lar laws are in effect in a States,

Virginia, which places retailers in

No Alarm Is Felt
As Potomac Rises

The Potomac stood within s feet
OF flood stage today. but Weather
Bureau observers pointed out there
was nothing to be alarmed about.
Higher water is expected during
the next "a or 36 hours when the
upstream carry-on passes through
the lower Potomac. Even so, river
experts doubted there would be high
enough levels to cause any uneasi-
ness.
At Cumberland, Nd, the Potomac
had swelled to within less than 4
feet Of flood stage. But there. too,
there were no real fears of q flood.
Since Saturday 1.13 inches of rain
have fallen in Washington and
vicinity.
The forecast called for overcast
skies this afternoon and occasional
light rains. Showers also were ex.
pected tonight, but tomorrow is
scheduled to be generally fair and
slightly warmer.
