Shortage of Labor Now
Shown In Business Review
. NEW YORK.—(By The Associat
ed I’ress.) —Both indications as to
teh trend of business and finance,
and opinions as to fall prospects
have shown marked diversity dur
ing the past week. Settlement of
the soft coal strike is generally ex
pected to be reflected in a sharp
gain in production, a figure as
high as nine millian tons a week
being mentioned as likely to be
realized in the immediate future.
On the other hand it is pointed out
that the government's scheme of
priorities must remain in force for
some time, particularly until the
needs of the northwest have been
taken care of, so that the steel in
dustry Is likely to feel the restric

some weeks to come.
The twentf per cent Increase In
steel wages meanwhile is inter
preted as indicating that steel man
ufacturers expect to be able to dis

WHO KILLED TWO MEN; FEARS TROUBLE
Fuel Transportation Facilities
Hold Attention of the President
Congress
Works on
Measure to
Allot Coal
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON—WhiIe the commit
tee of the senate and house were at
work Monday to perfect coal distri
bution leg slat ion recommended by the
administration. President Harding
and his advisers prepared to bring
to bear all the powers they now pos
sess for Improvement of fuel trans
portation facilities.
As a result of the president’s week
end conferences, it was indicated that
he still believes it would ba possible
to restore normal conditions without
a resort to government operations of
rail and coal properties affected by
the strike situation, and that lie felt
much could be done in that direction
even before congress acts to create
a fuel distribution agency and to
elotlio the interstate commerce com
mission with additional powers over
priority.
At the same time, hawever, both
the senate and holise interstate com
merce commissions were redoubling
their efforts to complete the distri
bution and priority bills, and steps
to authorize the executive to take
over the roads and mines remlHned
in the offing with congressional
opinion divided as to the advisabil
ity of such a course at the present
moment. i
ATTENTION
CENTERED
With the president’s return to
Washington Monday morning from a
week-end cruise on the yacht May
flower, where Secretary Hoover,
Attorney-General Daugherty and
Chairman Cummins, of tho senate
committee, were among his guests
and conferees, it was indicated that
for the time being the attention of
executive officials would be centered
with increased vigor upon what ir
said to be regarded by Mr. Harding
ns the crux of the whole Industrial
situation .the movement of coal
As outlined in an authoritative
quarter, tho Mayflower conferences
reached the conclusion that tho bi
tuminous coal situation was !n a fair
way to clear itself up entirely, that
tho anthracite strike showed Indi
cations df setlement in the very near
future, and that If facilities could

prices have already touched scar
city levels and some observers an
ticipate a decline as the scarcity is
relieved.
HAVEN’T ABANDONED
ALL HOPE.
As far as the railroad strike is
concerned financial quarters have
not entirely abandoned hope of a
settlement and do not seem alarm
ed over the prospects of a finish
fight. Carloading ' statistics show
the roads are continuing to move
a volume of freight comparing fav
orably with the best performances
of the year. Ob the other hand it
is recognized that a car shortage
during the fall is inevitable.
Arguing from the increase in
wages in the coal and steel li#lus
trles which are symptomatic of a
shortage of common labor, and thg
higher prices of coal and steel pro
duct some observers conclude that
Ihe country is entering a period < f
“Inflation.” What is probably
meant is that something like a
boom, short-lived or otherwise. Is
to be bred of a general rise In com
modity prices.
Opinion in the matter is, howev
er, divided. Those who refuse to
subscribe to this view point out
that the present increase in prices
is dun to abnormal situations aris
ing from the strikes and that as
such, the higher prices are likely
to be temporary. Sucli crttics also
emphasize the fact that certain
commodities, such as rubber, are
cheap and arc likely to remain so.
In addition, they maintain that
with grain prices at existing low
levels, the farmer's power will re
main moderate and conclude that
no great boom Is possible until the
farmer can take part in the move
ment. They also point to Eu
rope's low purchasing power and
the general consumers' resistance
to higher prices.

“UNCLE CHARLIE" TICE IN THE GREY OF THE CONEEDEUACY
TAKEN WHEN STOPPING IN WA SHINGTON JON P.OUTE TO RE
UNION.
“Uncle Charlie” Tice died at his
home, 516 Walker street, Sunday
afternoon following an illness of some
months. Probably no death an
nouncement occuring in Augusta for
some time will cause more wide
spread sorrow and regret than the
death of ‘‘Uncle Charlie.” Ills friends
nr<* numbered by the hundreds, among
fraternal associates as well as lay
men, and all knew him to love him for
his integrity of character, his loyal
ty to duty and friendship and his re
signed patience during his long Ill
ness..
Mr. Tice at the time of his death
had passed the allotted “three score
and ten” and leaves behind him a*n
honorable record of life well lived.
Shortly after the close of the Civil
War he entered the employ of the
Georgia Railroad as a fireman and
through his faithful service he rapid
ly climbed to position of engineer,
and in this capacity served for a long
number of years, only quitting his
post after being injured in a wreck
to such extent that he could not pull
the throttle any longer.
PILOTTED
THE OLD “PIC"
Old time commuters who had their
homes “up the Georgia" will remem
ber “Uncle Charlie" as pilot of the
Picayune when that time honored
train of the Georgia made the trip
from Augusta to Harlem, and back
to Augusta the following morning.
It was on this run that the injuries
were received by “Uncle Charlie”
that caused him to have to give un
♦he run. Prior to this he had figured
In two other wrecks but whk not in
jured to serious extent In either.
Mr. Tice was a prominent member
of several frut rnal ord r«, bc-lng

general prediction among political ob
servers here on the eve of the pri

heaviest vote the state ever knew is
expected. The addition of the wo
men’s votes is expected to hugely add
to tho ballot total.

three candidates who are expected to
poll heavy votes, Melted, HI ease and
K<nntor Laney. Laney is generally
expected to stand third In strength.
There !s much discuss on of Blcasc’s
strength. it is gWfUy predicted
that he will poll his entire strength in
the first race. In the second, If there
Is a second, the combined opposition
Is expected to be largely against
BJeate.
Home observers predict a heavy vote
for the former governor; others do not
expect him to show anything like his
old-time vote-pulling power.
Hecond In Interest among the state
candidates Is the race for superin
tendent of education; with varied pre
dictions as to the outcome. Many ex
pect one of the women csndldates to

CHICAGO. Seniority and new or

roads Monday gefnre the labor board
when the Untied Brothehood of mnln
tennee of wag employes and railroad
shop laborers began a bearing on
plans for an Increase In minimum
wages from 23 to 48 cents an hour.
The seniority question, which Mias
b'*en the chief stumbling block over
which efforts to end tho railway
shopmen's strike have several times
failed, came to the front when John
G. Walber, representing eastern rail
roads, questioned the right of the
United Brotherhood to represent em
ployes on the ten roads.
In the snm«‘ way new organisations
were injected Into the proceedings
when Mr. Walbsr declared that ns a
result of the strikes of maintenance
men at points on the ten lines, the
malntenace union could not repre
sent the majority of trackmen and

K. F. Grnble. president of the maln

contentions.
CHICAGO- Railway maintenance of
way employes comprising approx
imately 4.000,000 track workers and
crossing flagmen, whose threatened
strike with the shop crafts last month
was held In abeyance pending new
wage hearings, placed their demands
for Increased pay before the United
States railroad labor board here Mon
day. Of the 202 class one railroad*,
105 were parties to the dispute.
The maintenance men based their
e’alrns for higher wages on increases
In the cost of living. K. F. Grahle,
president of the trackmen, said Jhe
23 to 35 cents an hour scale provid' d
by the rail board’s July 1 decision
was less than a living wage.
Mr. Grable, In entering the confer
ence Monday was armed with a strike
vote, which his men approved when
tho shopmen walked off their Jobs. He
characterised the rns - * as the most
important before the board since Its
creation,
“The board must face, and T think,
