HARDING ISSUES PROCLAMATION Calling for Maintenance of Law and Urging Peaceful Settlement of Strikes. President IJnrding issued a procla mation Tuesday on the strike situa tion, in which he stresses the fact that the Federal Rail Board is a duly constituted government agency, crea ted by law, for the purpose of set tling differences between railroad op erators and employees. The President calls attention to the fact that the Board decided a- gainst the railways on the question of “farming-out” shop work, but decid ed against the employees on the wage question, and those affected have re fused to abide by the decision. He further says: “Whereas, the maintained opera tion of the railroads in interstate commerce and the transportation of U S. mails have necessitated the em ployment of men who choose to ac cept employment under the terms of the decision, and who have the same indisputable right to work that others have to decline to work; and “Whereas, the peaceful settle ment of controversies in accordance with law and due respect for the es tablished agencies of such settle ment are essential to the security and well being of our people: “Now, therefore, 1, Warren G. Harding, President of the United States, do hereby make proclamation, directing all persons to refrain from all interference with the lawful ef forts to maintain interstate transpor tation and the carrying of the United States mails. “These activities nnd the maintain ed supremacy of the law are the first obligation of the Government and nil the citizenship of our country. There fore, I invite the co-operation of all public authorities, Stnte and munici pal, and the aid of all good citizens to uphold the laws and to preserve the public peace, and to facilitate these operations in safety which arc essen tial to life and liberty, and the secur ity of property and our common pub lic welfare.” “Law nnd order must be preser- FIREMEN ON TRIP BIG COTTON MAN It is indeed unfortunate that some way cannot be found to settle the differences, ns every sign points to se rious trouble in the large cities. Here in Cedartown,where our Cen tral Railway Shop men are among our best citizens, there is neither trouble nor friction. If the Rail Boad and the national officials of the Shop Union would permit it, we have no doubt that the Central Railway and its employees could settle any differences between them very ami cably in only a few minutes, as the best of feeling has always prevailed between them. A number of Shop men paid The Standard a pleasant visit the other day to be sure that their side of the matter is understood, and they ex pressed themselves in favor of re gional agreements, which would cer tainly be more fair and sensible than the attempt by both the Rail Board and the national Union leaders to force absolute uniformity through out the country. The men expressed the conviction that the Board,' in ar riving at its conclusions, had not ful ly investigated living conditions. Some roads have given the strik ers an ultimatum as to return, and are filling the places of the strikers, who thus lose their seniority rights. The Central Railway has not done this, and has been able to maintain full passenger service. The parties to the dispute will have to get together some time nnd agree on something, and it is to be hoped some way of settlement can be found before the welfare and business of the country are too seriously impair ed. Perfumed Pottery. Sounds odd, doesn't it? And mys terious! Well, it is both— one of those rare novelties requiring genius nnd craftsmanship to produce. Perfumed pottery is just what the name implies. It is made from clay ved, property and life protected, saturated by secret process with de transportation of mails must not be lightful perfume that withstands fir- interfered with, and interstate com-‘ ing in the kiln, and when finished has merce must not be interrupted.” This was announced Monday by Attorney General Daugherty as the policy of the United States govern ment toward the strike of 400,000 railway shop men, which has resulted in some disorder in some parts of the country. Chairman Hooper, of. the Federal Rail Board, last week explained thnt no order had been issued “outlawing” the Shop and allied crafts, but that the Board had simply taken the word of President Jewell that the strikers no longer considered them selves employees of the railroads. the properties of a sachet. The delicate odor of a single piece of Perfumed Pottery is quite discern- able in a fair-sized room. We have just received a shipment. Prices from 50 cents to $1 each. W. W. TURNER, Jewelor. Because of the Fourth of July hol iday, a number of letters from our valued Correspondents failed to get in last week’s paper, and on this ac count one important item did not ap pear— the fact that the Summit school-house had been destroyed by fire. AT THE PALACE Seme to Canada, Oth ers to New York. It’s a great trip our chaiypion Fire Department is having this year, the only bad part of it being that all of them could not go. They left here Sunday morning on the .Central, spent a few hours in Nashville as their first stop, and then spent a day at Mammoth Cave —one of the wonders of the world. In Cincinnati five of the party — Chief C. T. Bobo, Messrs. S. R. Men del, Lamar Hallum, C. N. Morgan and Earl Hunt—left for a trip to New York by way of Niagara Falls and Lake Champlain. The other members of the party— Messrs. C. 1. Scarbrough, M. D. Russell and little son, Morgan, R. F. Harris, W. M. Booz, Porter Hunt, J. L. Cambron, II. G. Nichols, J. B. Wester, Marvin Watson, Robt. Cam- bron, John Camarata, J. E. Rain water, W. II. Carter and W. J. Wes ter—went on the regular itinerary which takes in a visit to Chicugo, and then a trip to Port Huron, Mich., where they will cross the river into Canada. The boys are having a good time,and they well deserve it. Cedartown is protected during their absence by those firemen who could not go on the trip, and by “re tired veternns” of the Department who patriotically volunteored their services. Honoring Maj. Blance. The U. D. C. held their regular meeting July 5th with Mrs. W. T. Edwards. Mesdames R D. Cantrell, Chas. Beasley and T. J. Davis were the assistant hostesses.

President Harding last Monday placed before the leaders of the em ployers and the employees of the an thracite and bituminous coal mining fields the government’s plan for set tling the coal strike. It called for the immediate resumption of work by the miners on the pay basis that expired March .'list, for fixing a per manent wage scale by arbitration,and an investigation to recommend a so lution of the prominent problems of the coal industry.
