which was organized when the Ma
tional Guard went into Federal
service, made the request o r
funds for the local company and
told the two bodies that $500 was
needed, Of which, he said, from
$500 to $500 would be supplied from
profits from the Cape Fear Horse
Show here May 1916.
IF anything should happen
around these parts, the qua d
should be ready for it and it is
not" Mr.. Willetts said, in max
ing his plea for uniforms.
Revealing that the First COM
pany here was in possession of
secret orders which we cannot
discuss" he said:
I'VE have bought guns, we have
bought ammunition and now we
need uniforms" He added that
the state had supplied some winter
CCC uniforms for the company
but new uniforms were needed if
the company was to make a good
showing in the Federal inspection
May II. He said that he had spent
5000 for his uniforms.
The appropriation from city and
county public funds was opposed
by Commissioners George W.
Trask and Coleman on the grounds
that the state should make the
appropriation.
''I'm afraid we are aiding and
abetting the state in lying down
on the job" Commissioner Cole
man declared. He said that the
city and the county should not
put up the funds as long as there
was a possibility of making the
state meet the obligation.
Lieut.. Willetts said he was in

were general that full scale pro-
duction would resume tomorrow
the restarting day set by John L
Lewis in his armistice declaration.
AS the day advanced in mines
taken over by the government Sat-
urday, it was not clear whether
the full vanguard of returning
workers was responding specifi-
cauy to the call of the President
or the call of Lewis.
The President, in urging t h e
miners to return lest they obstruct
the nations war effort, had said
he was sure that like all good
Americans" they would march
shoulder to shoulder with t cir
armed forces to victory"
Lewis, who told the miners ''your
record Of patriotism can never be
challenged" had said: Cooperate
with your government and with
your policy committee and restore
the mines to work on Tuesday
morning."
The back-to-back movement was
led by $50 miners at Gallitzin,
Pa, who voted to go back to work
even before the truce was an
nounced. In some mines in Penn
sylvania, the number reporting for
early shifts was not sufficient to
start work, but labor leaders pre-
dicted both anthracite and soft
coal mines VT uld be going at full

The city manager broached the

Mayor Vow named Councilman

With the comment that we

City Manager Nichols said, had

1.-THE policy cannot be justified
except because of the manpower

commented.
Chief of Police Charles H. Cas-
teen, who was present at the meet
ing, brought up the question OF po-
lice officers who are hired for spe-
cial occasions to perform police
duties.
For instance" the chief said,
there will be a Negro dance at
which 1000 Negroes will be pres

gagged four officers to keep order.
'Unless the officers go, we would
have to send four men from down.

BATTLE RAGING
ON RUML PLAN

meets every problem squarely,
openly, fairly and honestly.
The Democrats succeeded in
beating the Ruml plan a month
ago, 215 to 1893, but by the ma
neuvering of the Republicans. un-
der their leader, Martin of Mas
'sachusetts, the proposition has
come back into the House for an
other trial.
Doughton called upon the House
to kill it for keeps this time. He
summarized what he termed "the
fallacies and the heterodoxy of
this inquitous tax policy" as fol-
lows:
1. 1.-THE Rurnl plan, which the
minority has taken to it's bosom.
would grant complete tax forgive
ness to all taxpayers for one years
taxes. In effect, it would repeal
the income tax law for one year
and collect only one years taxes
out of two years. income, at a
time when taxpayers are or have
been enjoying the largest income
in our history and the government
is in its direst need of revenue"
2. Its adoption would be seri-
ously injurious to the morale of
our people, especially those in the
armed foces, since it would re-
suit in economic gain rather than
sacrifice on the home 'front.'
3. 1T would produce an unjus-
tifiable windfall to persons in the
higher brackets" HE called anti
windfall provisions in "the latest
version of the Runl-Carlson plan
a delusion and subterfuge.
4. It's greatest benefits would 60
to those least deserving them
and its greatest burden would fall
upon the backs of those least able
to bear them"
The bill supported by the Dem
ocrats would cancel out about 50
per cent or $4,000, 600, 900 of the
tax liabilities against 1912 individ-
ual income. About 1000, 900 per
sons would be relieved of 1e42
taxes completely and the obliga-
lions OF others would be reducEd.

Three Negro Children
Die When Home Burns

ATKINSON, May 3.-aR-Three
Negro children died in a pre-daWn
fire of undetermined origin which
destroyed their home here yester-
day.
Pender County Coroner A. c.
