H. G. HASTINGS CO., SEEDSMEN,
ATLANTA, GA.
Atlanta.—Announcement of a further
[reduction in rediscount rates from 5
|to 4 1-2 per cent in the sixth federal
[reserve district by Governor M. B.
'Wellborn recently, was featured by his
declaration that the cut was made pos-.
Bible owing to general business im
provement, and that the action will
give added zest to progress during
the coming summer months.
This Is the fourth reduction the in
stitution has made since January 1921,
and Is considered by its officials as
one of the strongest indications of
the progress made in business during
the period. On January 22, 1921, ttye
bank dropped its rates from 7 to 6
per cent. Another decrease to one-
half per cent was ordered November
2, while a similar cut was made De
cember 19.
One of the most significant points
stressed by Governor Wellborn in dis
cussing the status of liquidation, was
his statement that all membor banks
in this district are in excellent finan
cial condition. This was evidenced, he
said, by the fact that fully one-third
of the institutions were not rediscount-
ing with the Atlanta hank.
When the reduction to. 6 per cent
was made in December, Mr. Wellborn
asserted that all member banks would
be placed in a better position to aid
farmers during the spring planting
season. With a still further reduction
now in effect, the hanks now are in a
stronger position to increase their
loans to planters, he said.
"A great many persons think the
banks are borrowing heavily,’’ he con
tinued. “But this is not true, and I
think it is one of the best indications
of advancement made toward a nor
mal condition.

Urge 8chool Warrant System Changes
Atlanta. — The present method of
handling deferred state school war
rants, which it was claimed in the Ber
rien trial in Fulton Superior court, was
responsible for the loss of more than
$40,000 through alleged embezzlement

the protest of State Superintendent of
Education M. L. Brittain in 1915. it
was learned from Superintendent Brit
tain. When the present system was
adopted In 1915 Superintendent Brit
tain objected to the method on the
ground that the huge sums of money
should he handled more by Btate offic
ials than through direct sale of the
warrants to highest bidder. Objec
tion of Superintendent Brittain was
voiced at a conference of members of
the legislature and leading bankers
called by Governor Nat E. Harris to
devise a plan for handling the war
rants, It. is declared.

GOMPERS CHARGES MONEY
INTERESTS WANT COAL STRIKE
Says “Autocratic Attitude” Of Mlpe
Owners Is Caused By Domination
Of Flnahclal Powers
Washington.—That owners of coal
mining properties, both anthracite and
bituminous, are forcing a general
strike in union mines by their “auto*
cratlo attitude,” and that the rea*
son for their attitude can be found
in “domination of the coal industry
by financial interests,” were charges
made in a statement issued by Sam*
uol Gompers, president of the Ameri*
can Federation of Labor. Ho supple*
mented these charges with statistics,
which, he declared, showed that real
ownership of many bituminous .coal
properties lay in the hands of the
steel industry, while anthracite mines
were asserted to be "largely adjuncts
to railroad operation."
Mr. Gompers asserted that control,
of the mines was thus taken “to ail
effective degree from the hands of ac
tual operating men, and placed in the
hands of financial tntereBtB.” Coal
mines have merely become "wheels in
a groat profit • making machine,” he
said, operated by men for whom “all
things must give way to profits.”
As to the anthracite fields, Mr. Gom-
pors said that congressional invostl*
gations and federal proceedings had
disclosed “seven railroads controlling
9G per cent of the output."
Orders To Search All Navy Vessels

ant of the fifth naval district. "Re
cently cases of liquor have been found,
concealed under the coal in the bunk
ers and under the tiered chain in the
chain lockers,” Admiral Rodman’s let
ter of instruction said, adding “bills,
of lading and the cargo itself should
be scrutinized for suspicious pack
ages." j
