Strike Spreads :
BLUE MOUNTAIN, Ala. —(#)—
Four companies of National
Guardsmen Wednesday patrolled
the mill village of Blue Mountain
to preserve order and prevent sab
otage by striking employes of the
American Net and Twine company.
The troopers, approximately 250
of them under the command of
Captain Joe Starnes, took charge
Tuesday night as the request ol
Sheriff A. H. Borders whose depu-
ties were defied when they tried
to escort Jack Carter, foreman,
into the plant to make repairs to
machinery.
Sheriff Borders said a band of
about forty strikers seized at Car
ter and tore his clothing and that
pickets were kept at the mill gates
to prevent anyone from entering.
Approximately 400 mill workers
walked out last week in protest
against installation of an “efficl
ency system.” H. F. Williamson
said the system would have meant
about the same wage for the aver
age worker with penalization of
those ' below standard and bonuses
for those above.
A strike also is underway at
the Utica Knitting company mills
at Anniston where 450 walked out
over decreasea pay. National
Guard troops from Gadsden, Gun
tersville, Albertyille and Jackson.
ville were brought here.

ED: WOMAN ENTERS
Nix Finally Yields to De
mands He “Remain in
Georgia.” Harris Speech
To Launch Campaign
HARRIS, COLLIER
IN ATHENS TODAY
Warren County Woman
Becomes Candidate. An
Anti-Prohibitionist
Temperature of the Tenth dis
trict congressional campaign rose
a few degrees today with the de.
claration of Abit Nix that he will
not be a candidate and statements
on their candidacies by Roy V.
Harris, Richmond and Miles Col
lier, Madison.
Harris announced he will open
hLis campaign in Athens Friday
night with a speech from the
Shackelford building on College
avenue and Collier declared em-~
phaticaly that he is in the race to
the finish, despite rumors that he
is a “stalking horse” for another
up-district candidate.
Nix’s decision will release his
friends throughout the district
who have been holding off in sup-
port of other candidates becauss
of the possibility that he might
make the race. Persistent in
quiries from Augusta, regarding
Nix's attitude, also has given
birth to the belief that his decision
would determine whether Augusta
is to have othgr candidates. An
effort is being made to induce
Henry Howard, Augusta lawyer,
and son of Wm. M. Howard, one
time congressman from this dis
trict to become a candidate.
Entrance of Mrs. A. R. Shivers
of Norwood, Warren county, Tues
day will give the voters an oppor
tunity to elect the first congress
woman from Georgia. She de
scribes herself as “a stateswoman,
an anti-prohibitionist, doctor ot
economics, a farmer, a mother, a
Roosevelt proponent, and I'm ash
amed of thnis, but a ‘defeated leg
islative candidate last year’.”
Wioman Entrant
l The list of entrants now includes
| Harris, Collier, Mrs. Shivers, Paul
|L. Brown, Elberton; James L.
Cartledge, Richmond; Mayor D.
iTalmadge Bowers, Canon; Wil
ilam P. I[Congdon, Augusta and
IDwight Deas, Augusta druggist.
Representatives Collier and Har
ris were in Athens Wednesday—
although not together—and Harris
!made his plans for the initial
speech of the campaign here Fri
day night at 8:30 o'clock. He
' promises to make an enlivening
| speech, touching on some questions
| which many believe will deveiop
into issues in the campaign. ‘
.. Ctollier, who is a prominent Mad-{
ison county business man and
,fa.rmer, said here today he feels
sure Athens people will look with
‘{avor upon his candidacy. “I am
|a graduate of the University, have
|two children there Row, and one
| was graduated last year and Is
inow in Medical college” he said.
|He pointed out that in his six
iyears in the Georgia legislature he
Iwas organizer of the first farm
Ibloc, was a member consistently of
[the agricultural committee and
committee on the University anad
its branches, and always support
ed measures for the welfare of the
university, as well as the common
;s'chools. |
Harris Address
i Harris, also a University grad
uate, will be introduced here Fri.
day night by Representative Eu
gene A. Epting of Clarke, an as
sociate in the legislature.
! In announcing his final decision
{which has been awaited for sev
leral days, Nix says he does not
llmow at the present time whether
’he will ever re-enter polities, but
{will “continue my interest in Geor
rgia, and its internal affairs”. He
ialso thanks his friends who have
iurged him to make the race for
| congress. Nix at firs¢ is reported
‘to have told friends he would not
|become a candidate. He later was
urged by so many persons in the
distriet to run while at the same
time receiving requests from with
in and without the district to hold
himself ready for “state duties”,
that his final decision was held up
ceveral days.

AD SOUTH GREATLY
Government to Pay Off
$8,500,000 in South in
Next Six Months
By GLENN RAMSEY
Associated Press Staff Writer
ATLANTA, —(®)-—- PForty six
thousand youths and seasoned
woodmen will be paid approxi
mately $8,500,000 to plant trees in
forests of ten southern states
within six months.
More than $7,500,000 of the
money will be paid directly to de
pendent of the men under Presi
dent Roosevelt's plqn of re-fores
tation and relief for the unem
ployed. /
Because of the financial stringe
cy back home where whole fami
lies have been without work for
months, administrators believe the
entire seven millions will find its
way into.trade channels and fur
ther business gains,
The approximate $§500,000 re
maining will be sent to the men
in the forests to be spent as they
desire.
The majority of the youths are
in their late teens and early twen
ties. None of them are married but
they have been selected because
their homefolks are in greater fin
ancial stress than others in thelr
communities. Some experienced
woodsmen regardless of their age
or whether they are married, are
to go with them to aid in making
a success of the féderal program.
Already almost 22,000 youths are
in ariny posts undergoing condi
tioning under army supervision
or have left for field duty. Those
sent into the woods early have the
jub of preparing the many camps
selected in preparation for the ar
rival of the host of tree planters.

Government Bonds
Will Be Purchased
By Reserve System
i WASHINGTON — (AP) — The
Federal Reserve system is in the
inpen market for government se
'curitles. launching on a first trial
of the controlled credit inflatigh
powers newly conferred on the
President by congress.
For the present the Reserve's
open market committee is pur
chasing $25,000,000 of such securi
ties. The law authorizes buying
up to three billions -to ease credit
and release currency. Though the
initial purchasing authorization
was small and the time over which
the buying would be spread was
not indicated, the action was ac
cepted as indicating the reserve
system is in full accord with the
President’s expansion policy.
Tiven more important, many ob
servers believed the step signified
that the administration has no
thought of issuing currency to
cause expansion unless the open
market operations prove inade
quate. The inflation law author
izes printing of three billions in
currency, and also makes possible
devaluation of the dollar down to
fifty per cent.
Once governments or securities
of government controlled corpora
tions are acquired by the reserve
they must be held ‘or a pre-deter
mined length of tirae unless the
Secretary of the Treasury permits
earl'er disposal. £
Inauguration of the policy was
taken as a forerunner of coming

Reimbursement For
Cotton Growers Is
Urged in Congress
WASHINGTON,—(®)—FuII re
imbursement for cotton growers
under the original agreement by
which they turned their cotton
over to marketing associations,
before the Farm board takes over
the staple from the American
Cotton Cooperative association,
has been asked of the board by
four Georgia congressmen,
The delegation which called on
Chairman Henry Morgenthau of
the Farm board Tuesday included
representatives Tarver, Ramspeck,
Cox and Owen.
Tarver said the growers turned
their cotton over to the coopera
tives with the understanding they
were to receive 90 per cent of its
value at the time of the agree
ment. i
The farm board, he said, gave
the national cooperative the full
9 per cent but he added that the
American association ‘‘doubtless
has squandered quite a lot of the
money,”
He said individual growers in
many instances received not more
than 40 to 50 per cent and ‘‘others
doubtless more than the 90 per
cent they were supposed to get.”
Tarver said Morgenthau pro
mised to consider the plea from
the moral viewpoint, as well as in
the light of a brief he is having
prepared on the legal aspects, &
reply from him is expected this
week.
