Advocates of Bonus
Wonder President's Power on Measure
The executive committee of the
Wayne county fair met at 11 o'clock
this morning to discuss -ways and
means to complete the raising the bal
ance of the money necessary for the
fair.
The chairman of the finance committee reported that about one-half of
the amount necessary to make the Uliir
a success had been raised up to date
About 25 of the leading business men were present at this meeting and it was decided to divide into groups
and with the aid of the present finance
committee make a resolicitation for
the additional amount. Issues Statement.
The following statement was issued
from the committee room:
"We do not want to give a fair un
less it is on a basis which will be a
credit to this community. A budget of $8,500 has been made because we knew this amount would give a good clean fair without resorting to the cheap form of concessions which usually accompany fairs. The right kind of a fair will be given or we will not give any. "There is nothing the matter with Richmond. We have a wonderful spirit of co operation and our only danger Is selfishness in the desire of some men to profit by the unselfishness of others. There is danger that we 'strain at a gnat and swallow a camel.' Opportunity Present "We have an opportunity right now to show our belief In hospitality and co-operation. A number of our public spirited citizens are giving ireely of their time, day and night, iu promoting a Wayne county fair a thing that more than anything else will help to weld the city and the rural community into a united element that will benefit the whole county. These men are not only giving their time but are
contributing liberally of their cash tojcourt

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Aug. 30. White house callers who discussed the bonus with President Harding came away
with the Impression today that the executive regarded the addition of the
McNary reclamation and Simmons for
eign debt feature adopted yesterday in
the senate as making the measure
more object! onal.
The big question in the mmds of friends of the bonus was whether the
senate provision for paying it out ot
the interest on the foreign debt would put it beyond the risk of presidential
veto. Most of them appeared more hopeful, but foes of the measur-s seemed undisturbed. With respect to the Simmons proposal that the bonus be paid out of the foreign debt interest, it is understood that the president adhered to the position that the bonus should not be
made a charge against that debt, either principal or interest, at least until returns from it were in hand. The possibilities of an executive objection was discussed again today in the senate. Sees Opposition. Opposing the Bursam substitute proposing a half cash, half certificate bonus Senator McCumber,' Republican, North Dakota, in charge of the bill, declared "it was well known as neces
sary to guide this bill" through somewhat delicate channels. If we hope to have it enacted. He added that it was the purpose (Continued on Page Three)

MILTON BANK CLAIMS ARE BEING SETTLED; SOME SUITS PENDING
Gradual clearing up of claims against
the defunct Milton Farmers' bank, brought by former stockholders in the institution, is under way, according to
statements made by Claude Kitterman,
receiver for the institution, Wednes
day. Allowed claims put in by stockhold
ers were paid last April, but a number
of suits brought on claims that had
been disallowed are still pending in
Date for settlement of these
claims is still in doubt. Were it not for the fact that numer
ous accounts riTl fho hanlr Yiava Tint
and money are prone to stand back tO!Deen settled, the whole matter might
have been disposed of much earlier,
wait and see what can be accoro plish
ed, escaping their responsibility if possible. Many of our business men never leave their business long enough to assist in any public work and when solicited for funds give niggardly or not at all and yet stand ready to reap their part of the benefits, to be derived from the unselfish work of their competitiors. Men who
do not happen to be solicited congratulate themselves on being missel and hug to themselves the delusiou that they have gained something. But the contrary is true. Will these men have the nerve to decorate their plnces of business and smilingly welcome into the till the dollars brought to their doors by the unselfish work of their neighbors? City Is Benefitted "Whatever promotes the welfare of the farming community benefits the city as well. It may not be today; it
may not be tomorrow, but eventually
It will benefit in more ways, than one. "The money being raised for- the fair is but a matter of advertising for that bigger and better part of the program which means a permanent home
for a Wayne county fair a place'; where many exhibits and sales will!
be held throughout the year, where the raising of better stock and grain will be promoted, where thecity business man and the farmer may meet on common ground and unitedly engage In those things which will best - promote the interest of the whole county. "Our people should come forward and contribute voluntarily and liberally, not waiting to be solicited. The farmer should be made to know who are his friends. Let us show the true spirit of unselfishness and co-operation."
.Mr. Kitterman said, .stockholders in the bank went so far as to go out and raise money to reimburse depositors themselves. As a result, depositors did not lose a cent in the institution.
AMENDMENTS READY
(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Aug. 30. Warned
of attempts to amend the administra
tion s coal distribution bill by adding provisions already rejected. Republican leaders declared today it would be
passed before adjournment tonight
substantially as framed.
On the heels of the announcement
of Representative Johnson. Republi
can, South Dakota, and others that they would endeavor to get througn
an amendment giving the president
authority to take over the railroads
and mines which failed in public serv ice. Representative Anderson, Republi
can, Minnesota, upset party plans by making public the text of an amend
ment for creation of a federal coal
buying and selling agency. The lat
ter plan was first suggested by the
president in his address to congress
but in drafting "the distribution bill the interstate commerce committee abandoned it, announcing at the same
time that it had acted with presiden
tial approval. May Abandon Proposals
Leaders said the Johnson and An
derson proposals would be thrown ou
on points of order, as not germane to the bill itself, and that both would be
defeated if put to a vote.
Announcement of the plan to add a
federal operation clause to the coal distribution bill same after it had been
made known at the White House yes
terday that the president still held
that such a grant of power was desirable in order to strengthen the administration's hold in the industrial situation, although at thi3 time he foresaw no such grim public necessity as alone would move him to exercise this authority. The president was said to believe that the anthracite coal industry shortly would be put on the same ba
sis for rapid recovery in production that the bituminous mines have reached and that the railroad situation then would be left as the only serious problem. . To Enforce Old Laws

PUBLIC FAILS TO SEE
SERIOUSNESS OF COAL FAMINE, SAY DEALERS
Failure of the public to realize the seriousness of the coal situation, a weak demand, and an almost absence of coal stocks in the city, were features of a survey of the coal trade in this city Wednesday. "We have in sight four cars of coal, which probably will be delivered next week," said one dealer. "They come from West Virginia and Indiana mines and are Pocahontas and Indiana lump." he said. "It will have to be sold at $10 to $11 per ton. The public fails to understand the seriousness of the situation and seems to feel that the price is the result of a 'frame-up' somewhere." No coal on hand, inability to get deliveries because of the par shortage.

Two Killed in Fight With
Chicago Bootleg Pirates
(By United Press)
CHICAGO, Aug. 30. Two men 'were killed and three wounded, one probably fatally in a battle between bootleg pirates and guards of three beer trucks
early today. The pirate gang ambush
ed the trucks in a dark grove on the outskirts of the city. The firing continued for nearly an hour. The dead are: Albert Schultz, saloon keeper, one of the guards, unknown man believed to be the leader of the pirates. His companions bore his body away. Sergeant Edward McAvoy of the police department will probably die from wounds.
a conference here to present v the anthracite aperators and the general scale committee of the miners' union for "final decision" settlement proposals drafted by. Senators Pepper and Reed of Pennsylvania. A statement issued by the conference, which continued from last night into the early hours of today, said separate meetings of the two groups
would be convened as early as possible and John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers and S. D. Warriner, chairman of the general
policy committee of the anthracite operators who attended the conference
had prepared to leave Washingcon im
mediately t6 convene these, probably
in Philadelphia.
It was further agreed that the terms of the proposals should be withheld from publication pending the meetings. These were understood, however, to provide for the immedinte return to work of the miners on the basis ofthe wage scale and working
conditions in effect last April 1, with
the operators withdrawing their Insistence that arbitration be adopted as a method of fixing future wage scales.
HARRISBURG, Pa., Aug. 30. The
virtual end of the coal strike in the
bituminous fields of Pennsylvan'a was recognized by Governor Sproul with
the recall of National Guard troops
who have been guarding the fields

dered home this week. The rejt will be called within another week, the governor said.
tnct attorneys to vigorously prosecute" all violators of federal court injunctions granted to protect railroad
operations and properties during the strike.
Poor Equipment. Government officials also are con
fronted by a condition of equipment
maintenance by railroads which the in
terstate commerce commission reports shows "a very general letdown in the
matter of inspection (of locomotives)
by carriers which gives cause for grave
concern. Responding to a senate resolution on the question the commission said railroads were failing to make all
the inspections required by law. Of
9,085 locomotives on 162 roads inspect
ed by the commission's own staff of inspectors, it was reported, 2,456 wexe found defective, although many of the defects were of minor importance, and
169 unsafe to operate,
Outstanding among other develop
ments in the rail and coal situation
was an order of the interstate commerce commission formally relaxing some of its priority control of coal dis
tribution. Priority still will be given sections of the northwest requiring
rail shipments to supplement lake
movement of coal and railroads whose
fuel needs are pressing. Also, in a sec
ond class, priority of shipment will be
granted to coal for public utilities and
institutions, domestic? and building
heating and common carriers; with
several other classes of consumers

LARGE CROWD TO SEE VARIOUS EXHIBITS
trying to arrange for a supply, was the situation described by another dealer.. He quoted a letter from one oper
ator, stating that all cars allotted to
that mine in the past month were suf
ficient for only one day's run.
Will Receive Coal. The Richmond City Water Works,
being in class two of the government priority list, will have little difficulty in getting coal, according to President
Howard Dill. From 30 to 40 days'
supply is now on hand.
A supply of coal sufficient to last
from 38 to 40 days with about 10 cars on the road, all bought under a
62 car contract on which deliveries are still being made, was the report of D. C. Hess, superintendent of the Municipal electric light and power plant. "There is no trouble in buying coal, our trouble is in getting deliveries," he said. One coal dealer reported a few tons
of Pocahontas mine run worth $9.50 on hand. He was taking orders for more coal.
Promises No Avail "We can get promises in plenty, but priority rulings sending coal to the northwest, to the railroads and to utility companies make these promises hard to fulfill," said another dealer. "I expect the situation to loosen,, up in 60 to 90 days, but that does nt provide for the present. Rail conditions are a factor. There has been a considerable increase in production in the past few days, but ccal is still hard to
get anywhere. Cleaning up of the mines, following the period of idleness means aboirf a week's delay before
they get into full production."
Corn stalks 12 feet high, with ears of corn higher than a UM man's head, a hen 10 years old that has been laying regularly until the last year, a( Welsh pony that has never been beaten in a pony race, a continuous concert by Indianapolis, Detroit and Cincinnati musical talent, through the medium of a radio set, are some of
the attractions of the Dublin fair which opened Wednesday morning.
An especially large display of Hamp

pens of black hogs from beyond Hagerstown and Horace Cole supported the department with an additional half dozen pens.

POINTS OUT DEFECTS
(By Associated Press)
NEW YORK, Aug. 30. Immediate
appointment of 1,000 government in
spectors of railway locomotive ana passenger equipment to safeguard the lives of train crews and the traveling
public was urged in a telegram today
to President Harding by John J. Dowd,
chairman of the central strike committee, metropolitan district of striking shopcraft unions.
Mr. Dowd's message said in part:
"In your address to congress on the
railroad strike, you stated that the
country was in danger of a breakdown
of transportation and gave your pledge
that the inspection and safety laws
govering railroad equipment would be rigidly enforced. The inter-state com
merce commission's report made to the senate yesterday proved the im
minence of this breakdown by showing that 50 per cent of .the locomo
tives inspected during the month of
I July were defective.
"The situation is a grave menace
to the safety of passengers and train crews and unless immediately corrected it will constitute a violation of
your solemn pledge to congress and
the people of the United States.
CHICAGO, m., Aug. 21. Continued
bomb outrages and other forms of violence ; inquiries into wrecks and al
leged sabotage plots; settlement of
unauthorized walkouts by trainmen
on the Chicago and Alton. Elgin. Joliet and Eastern, and Missouri Pacific, and an appeal to congress by railway maintenance of way employes for an
amendment to the transportation act, assuring a "living wage" for all rail workers, marked the sixty-first daily
chapter of the history ot the nation wide strike, today.
Meanwhile chiefs of the "big four
transportation brotherhoods meeting at Cleveland asserted their attitude toward the shopmen's strike remained
unchanged.
The end of the tie-up on the Chicago
and Alton came early today, when
striking trainmen at Slater, Mo.,
agreed to return to wor'. Their ac
tion followed similar steps by Chicago
and Alton men at Rocdhouse, 111 , and by train crews and switchmen on the
Elgin, Joliet and Eastern at Joliet, III.
Blockade Ended The blockade on the E., J. and E.
outer belt line to the Chicago steel
and shipping district had continued since Aug. 8. when a railroad detec
tive and a striker were slain and Sheriff Newkiik was wounded in a strike riot. These breaks in unauthorized strikes occurred as a threatened walkout of "Big Four" men on the Missouri Pacific at Chaffee, Mo., was averted fol lowing conferences between union leaders and road officials. Although chiefs of the transportation brotherhoods declared their view of the shopmen's strike was unchanged, as well as their position in not expecting brotherhood members to work where their lives were endangered, W. G. Lee, president of the trainmen, reasserted statements that his members would be authorized to walkout only in accordance with their brotherhood constit"ion andagreement.

Big Four railroad brotherhoods, their sessions shrouded in secrecy, resumed deliberations today over the situation caused by the shopmen's strike. The situation confronting the railroads today was admittedly critical, with Big Four chiefs not in accord. This situation has to be met by the brotherhood chiefs: 1. They must see that the men comply with contracts with the railroads. 2. They must give all moral and fi
