FORTY-THIRD YEAR.—NO. 214. 42.2 COTTON ESTIMATE SMASHES MARKET WILSON SOUGHT CONFERENCE ON DISARMAMENT Former President’s Plan Reveal ed By Publication Os Page Letters FIRST STEP TAKEN IN 1913, RECORDS SHOW ‘No Future In Europe’s Vision,’ He Wrote, Discussing Great Defense Waste NEW YORK, Oct. 3.—The Wil son administration, as early as 1913, was pushing plans for a disarmament -onference like the one called by President Harding for November. This fact is revealed in letters of Walter IL Page, late ambassador to Great Britain, printed in the October issue of World’s Work. The letters point to the efforts of former President Wilson, Col. E. M. House and Page to get Great Britain and Germany together in a confer ence with the United States and find a means to use their enormous mili tary expenditures and resources for peaceful and humane purposes. Tn a letter to Col. House of Aug. 28, 1913, Page wrote: “Here are great navies and armies' and great withdrawals of men from industry—an enormous waste. Here are all the privileges and taxes thati this state of things implies—every one a hindrance to human progress. “There’s no future in Europe’s vision—no longer look ahead. They give all their thought to the immedi ate danger. “The great powers are mere threats to one another, content to check orie the other.’’ Way Out Needed. In a memorandum, written about Jr the same time. Page added: “Away must be found out of this stagnant watching. Else away will have to he fought out of it; and a great European war would set the Old World, perhaps the whole world, t back a long way. It seems irnpos rble to talk the great powers out of their fear of one another or to ‘Hague l then! out of it. They’ll never be persudaded to disarm. The only way left seems to be to find some common and useful work for these great armies to do. “Nobody can load in such a new era but the United States. “May there not come such a chance in Mexico—to clear out bandits, yel low fever, malaria, '-hookworm —all to make the country healthful, safe for life and investment, and for orderly self-government at last? “May not the existing military power of Eurone conceivably be di verted, gradually, to this use?” Wilsrn Ethused. President Wilson was enthusiastic, wrote House. Page’s idea on the treatment- of backward nations had strongly impressed both Wilson and House. It developed into a plan for an Anglo-American-German compact to deal not only with “disarmament, but other matters of equal impor tance to themselves and the world at largo.” But Paige had no faith in Ger many. He had no faith in an alliance that included Germany as an equal partner. Ho did not hclievo in the co-operation of the English-speaking count i re:t. On Fob. 24, 1914, he wrote House and referred him to' the campaign of 1870 to reduce armaments, “when "Id Bismarck dumped the whole bas ket of apples by marching against France,” “You know T sometimes soar some est of repetition of that experience,’ he added. Home -in Germany. This series of letters and England’s informal approval of Page’s plan "loved President Wilson to send bouse to Germany to confer with 'he ex-kaiser. When House arrived in Berlin in late Mjay, 1914, Ger many’s military leaders were openly ' pnosed to his even seeing their ruler, tVhen House did get an interview, Vilhelm did most of the talking and 'he subject, was not disarmament. It whs first the “Yellow Peril” and then 'he “futility'’ of Bryan’s arbitration 4 'reaty which all great nations ex cent. Germany had already ratified. Ihe kaiser’s parting words were: “Every nation in Europe has its ' tvonets pointing at Germany. Hut' ’ ' ''We are ready!” I’he assassination of the Archduke ' ’"dinand soon after put an end to ’■ 'hen's disarmament plans. 'APAN TO SUBMIT POP,n ATION PROBLEM. rOKIO, Oct. 3.

DON'T USE PENNIES WHEN FUSES BLOW: OUT, CHIEF WARNS Pennies should net be inserted in electric light connections behind fuses wnen the fuses blow out, says I'ire Chief McArthur. Although such practice is against the law, it is f requently done in Americus by unthinking poisons as a matter of convenience, he says, and often re sults in fires or burned out elec tric connections. That is what hap pens whenever a residence electric light wire becomes overcharged from any cause, which frequently occurs. An instance of the danger was cited in a run by the fire depart ment early Saturday morning. A broken electric power wire, car rying high voltage, had become crossed with a light wire, and as result the electric connections in the home of Emory Rylander and W. H. Cobb, of East Furlow street, were burned out and a hole burn ed in th" bath room floor at the Cobb home. “I don’t know whether there were any pennies behind the fuses in either of these homes,” said Cihef McArthur, “for I didn’t in quire, out I am merely calling at tention to the fact that a broken wire or some other cause may bring danger at any minute, night or day, and that fuses, which placed in the connections for safe ty, should not. be tampered with.” you and i THE GERMANS’ FINANCES ; AS LONG AS THEY WORK LIKE BEAVERS. J NEEDN’T WORRY ABOUT § GERMANY has had a national eight-hour law, since 1918. It was intended to protect toilers from Simon Legrec employers, and was so drawn. But now the cart is before the horse. Tine Wirth cabinet finds it necessary, for purposes of national health, to ask the Reichstag to pass a new eight-hour law directed against the emlpoye, restraining him from working more than eight hours. It seems the ambitious German woikman is so keen about providing for a rainy day that he works on one job eight hours, then hustles to an other job for four or eight hours more. Germany’s, financial system may go to smash and turn the economists’ hair white. But a people who have to be restrained by law from working too much are certain to pull their country out of the hole fast. Work is what makes any nation. Money is just the reflection in the mirror. SPEED Sadi LeCointe, French airman, steps into an airplane and flies near ly three and a half miles a minute. That makes a new world’s record, but it doesn’t excite much attention because it soon will be a common thing. In another 10 years, three and a half miles an hour will be slow flying. Man, when his artificial wings are fully developed, will travel like a ri fle bullet JOBS. At the unemployment conference, the advisory committee recommends the rotation system, by which the individual works shorter time so that there’ll be enough work for all. Henry Ford installed the rotation system two weeks ago at his High land Park and River Rouge plants. Each worker is idle one week in eight. This is horse sense. Every one should share in depression, just as we all should share prosperity when it is available. YEGGMEN. Yeggmen in the last 12 months burglarized 240 banks, says the American Bankers Association. Total loot was only $239,087.95, an aver age haul for each “job” of $996. Usu ally it has to be divided among a gang. It’s a queer sort of warped brain that will risk death or liberty in a venture that nets only $996. And for every 166 successful bank burglaries. 74 failed entireyl. oDes crime pay? Not even in dollars and cents. HOUSEKEEPERS. Tn New York public schools, girls are being taught to keep house in small, cramped flats. Too bad. but that is necessary, for the increasing tendency is for people to congest more thickly in cities. It will be a red- letter da” when the tide turns to the farms and city schools begin to teach girls how to keep house in the open country with its fresh air, good health, pure milk for babies, independent life, glorious nature and boundless playgrounds for the kiddies. Living in a city |s a mild form of insanity. TRAMPS. You cannot get away from the law of sunplv and demand as long as you live in three dimensions.

NEGRO WIELDS AX AT FROUC. KILLS ANOTHER Leslie Mullet Supper Scene Os Midnight Murder—Liqquor Plays Part In Affair A mullet supper, at which, liquor was freely partaken of, resulted in a negro killing another with an ax 1 about midnight Saturday night in side the city limits of Leslie. Thej negro, killed was Oscar (Roscoe) | Singletary, known as a bad man, and the slayer, according to the verdict of the coroner’s inqust, was Webstser Allen. The back side of the ax was used on the slain negro’s head. The frolic at which the killing took place was held on the Sumerford and Allen place on the north side of Les- j lie, just off the main road to Am-1 ericus, ' Both negroes were hands on the farm. The cause of the alterca tion did not develop at the inquest, other than liquor. Coroner Ed Jen kins, who lives in Lesle. was called i out at 12:30, immediately after the! death of Singletary, but Ihe inquest was not held until Sunday morning. when men exceed jobs.

Famous Pedestrian Tells Walkers They Should “Carry a Cane” NEWARK, N. J., Oct. 3.—Edward i Paysen Weston, although in his 83d year, firmly believes he can dupli cate his record-breaking feat of 1874, in this city, when he astonished the world by walking 500 miles in a lit tle less than six days. He’s here again today and expects to try the feat in November. Can he do it? Well, he’s spry and active as though he was below the half-cen tury mark, and shows no signs, either in appearance or actions, of being a noctogenarian.

DRIVE ON TO UNIONIZE SOUTH’S COTTON MILLS Headquarters To Be Moved From Charlotte oT Columbus After A Time BY NORRIS QUINN. CHARLOTTE, N. C„ Oct. 3.—Or ganization into unions of more than 600,000 textile workers is the objec tive of a ; weeping driv,e just start ed by the American Federation of Labor. i This is one move in the federa tion's campaign for 5,000,000 mem bers. Groundwork for the campaign al ready is being laid in the South, where the textile industry centers. By the middle of October, the push will he well under way, says Thomas F. McMahon, int ernational president of I the United Textile Workers of Amer ica. Activity will be greatest in North .Carolina, .South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee, where 225- 000 unorganized textile workers are employed. The campaign also will reach North into Pennsylvania, Rhode Tslan dand New England. Union headquarters are at Char lotte. A big group of organizers, rep resenting the federation, the United Textile Workers and half a dozen in ternational unions are stationed here After the. field surrounding Char lotte has been thoroughly worked, headquarters will he moved to Co lumbus, Ga. Organizers are looking forward to I a stiff fight. The Southern states affected are looked upon as non- i union strongholds. Employers are\ said to be strongly antagonistic t< unionization. McMahon and other union lead ers say industrial abuses exist, in non union districts which only organiza tion can cure. They say that: Workers are getting a low wage that does not permit them to care, for their children or save money. ' Girls between 14 and 20 are work ing from 60 to 66 hours weekly. I Company houses are cramped and | provided with poor sanitation or no' sanitation at all. Tuberculosis is ravaging industrial i communities because of long hours' and poor sanitation. “PuJ these conditions are not uni-i versa!,” McMahon says. “There are • nfhny idea] mills in the South and ideal comjiatjy villages.

I’he trades included under textile workers are loom fix er., weavers, pinners, carders, pick ers and finishers. Ninety-nine per cent are native-born Americans. We are prepared to keep up this organization work for four years if necessary,” McMahon says. “Seventy two international unions will aid by loaning organizers. “Already 60,000 Southern workers have been organized. Employers are beginning to use the blacklist to block our efforts.” McMahon is in Washington discuss ing the campaign with Samuel Gomp- • ers, president of the American Fed eration of Labor.

BEAUTIFUL OTTER SHOT SHOT NEAR AMERICUS A beautiful otter, one of the fin- | cst of fur-bearing animals, and now ; rare in this section, was killed one day last week by Austin Law neat his home in Seale’s Mill creek, south west of Americus.

Expecting an estimate somewhere around 40 per cent, with a consequent production only slightly more than 6,000.000 bales, the trade bought with a rush at the opening of the exchanges today prior to the announcement of the government figures, forcing the market up nearly a cent and a half a pound. The ginners report, showing less than 3,000,000 bales ginned to September 25, was taken as bullish. Then the an- j nouncement at Washington of an estimate of 42.2 per cent, or a total crop this year of 6,537,000 bales, and the crash came. Prices in New York tum bled $9.50 a bale, and in New Orleans the full limit of $lO a bale allowed at one day’s session. A slight recovery then set in, bringing the market back a few points above Saturday’s close. It was the biggest surprise and the wildest market seen in many days. Spot cotton was unaffected by the futures market, there being no sell ing on the early rise. . . .. Little speculation was reported from Americus. DROP OF $9.50 BALE IN NEW YORK.
