teen young men of the Barnardsville ?
section of this county were arrested !
today by sheriff's deputies on charges j
of formtavg an organization which the
officers say has caused a roign of ter- I
ror in the community for several .
weeks. The use of dynamite to break j
up a religious gathering is the most '
serious charge against them. All gave
bond for appearnnce tomorrow for
trial.
The officers claim complaints !-iave
been coming to them for a month
ubout conditions in Barnardsville. The
motives for the reifrn of terror appear
to be that two or three of the alleged
gang had been ordered to leave the
community by respectable citizens, or
seek work. Two of the number are
said to be former soldiers.
The warrants charge "conspiring to ,
terrorize the community and excite a 1
riot." A prominent farmer told the
officers he -ta?1 been robbed on the
highway and warned to leave the com
m unity.
The section is sparsely settled, and
the arrests were made with difficulty.

[By Associated Press. 1
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2 ? Alternative
plant* for a permanent government
whipping- policy arc to be presented to
the Senate tomorrow by Senator Jones,
Republican, Washington, chairman of
the Senate Commerce Committee. The
two plans for disposing of the war
acquired shipping property of the gov
ISTMk assreKatintj in value about
SJ.OOO.upO.OOO, were outlined by the
night1 Senator in a statement to
, T,le hill which Senator Jones said

ft iTC"?nt Sh|P?ne Board only
a ?P,ZV?>?ry> Pa-city . and create
a new merchant marine corporation
to operate government ships Tor thirty
years, but not in competition with es
tablished private lines
The alternative bill to be presented
by the Commerce Committee chairman
Is to be a comprehensive measure ??ex
tending and superseding the present
Shipping Hoard act .and contemplating
the inclusion of the duties and pow
ers of the Shipping Board all matters
of operation us at present."
Ultimate private ownership of the
government's shipping property la fa
vored by Senator Jones. The proposed
merchant marine corporation, which
would have no capital stock, would
take over all ships acquired by iho
government during the war. and all
vessels and property in the hands of
the Shipping Hoard and Emergency
Fleet Corporation, for operation, sale
or other disposition with h view to
maintaining a permanent American
merchant marine.
The new corporation would operate
nil government merchant tonnage and
shipping property, while the Shipping
Board would have a status similar to
that which the Interstate Commerce
Commission hoars to railroad carriers.
The Shipping Board would have super
vision over shipping rates and the in
terstate Commerce Commission would
be authorized, with the marine cor
poration, to require connections be
tween rail and water curriers. De
velopment of new shipping routes and
lines for American shipping would be
one of the principal functions of the
Shipping Hoard.
