ARKANSAS STATE NEWS.
An Incident Of the strike at Attle Roci

An Incident of the strike ut Little Rock.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, March 12.-The strike
Of railroad men at this place to-day re-
ceived an enlivenment that reminded the
participants Of the days OF the Brooks
Baxter war OF 1915. This morning switch
engine stole out of the yard with train
Of eleven cars, all billed for the South,
and left Little Rock at a rapid rate-so
fast, In fact, that none Of the strikers
could board her, although efforts to do so
were made. At one O'Clock this afternoon
when the south bound passenger came into
Barring Cross yards across the river, the
strikers detached the engine, and
about twenty-five of them, supposed
to be Knights of Labor, mounted the
engine and fairly few down the track. In
a short time another engine, loaded with
deputy marshals, followed suit. Both en-
gines passed the depot in the twinkling OF
an eye. The first engine overhauled the
freight at Benton, ran 1t on to a siding and
killed the engine and returned to the
switch at Marblevale, ten miles below the
city, where /. was waiting for the south
bound passenger TO go by, when the mar
shal's engine instead came up. Both en-
gines returned to Little Rock, and as soon
as they got back across the river the strik-
ers began jumping off and started for the
woods.
Then the trouble began. Almost fifty
shots were fired by deputies at the fleeing
railroad men. Dick Sullivan receiving a
flesh wound In the leg. Seven Of the party
were arrested, and will be tried before
United States Commissioner Waters to-
morrow on charge of interfering with
the carrying Of the mail. The strikers say
that they can prove that no interference
was intended, and that two engines were
standing in the round house at the time
ready for the company's use for any pur-
pose desirable.
Matters are assuming a critical phase,
both parties being determined in their
purpose. The strikers evince no DISPOSE
tion to quake, and say they will hold the
fort at all hazards, resorting to no violence
unless II be In self defense.

An elaborate work has appeared i,
England a History of Prices since tn
wear 1902 by NJ G. MULHALL, Fellow
# the Statistical Society of Arts.
The principal points in the chapter
n agriculture are the following:
!. That although the ratio of rura
population has declined both in Europe
and America, the area under tillage ha,
risen 81 per cent, and the weight o
crops in proportion.
2. That grain growing eclipses al
other industries in point Of value, and
that any variation in the price of grain
seriously affects the purchasing power
nf gold.
3. That Europe has to import abour
10 million tons of grain yearly from
other parts of the globe.
4. That farm laborer in the United
States raises as much grain as four able
bodied French or Germans, or six Rus.
slams or Spaniards.
S. That consequently three-fourths
Of the labor of peasants on the CONT
nent of Europe is in manner wasted
6. That we have not yet seen the
lowest cost of production for grain in
Europe
Z. That cattle to population are few
er in Europe than thirty years ago,
that the United States will require
shortly all their own COWS and sheep.
and that Europe must look to Australia
and the River Plate for future supply
at least 100000 tons of meat per an.
mum.
8. That agriculture does not give
profitable returns for the amount Of
capital invested in Sweed, Great Brit
ain or Belgium, and may, therefore, be
steadily to decline in those
countries, and give place to lucrative
pursuits.
