70 at least wait until after Thanksgiving
Day, for they were all at their posts today.
The superintendenis Of the several roads
held anothermceting today, and concluded

that ii they had any complaints OF their
own to arbitute or adjust the supcrin-

over any grievances, but they declined 10
meet the committee in regard 10 the switch

The officials are firm in declaring that
they cannot discharge their new switch
men under any Circumstances in order TO

would be wholly dishonorablc, and that

rather than weaken in this particular.

BAGGING TRUST DOOMED.
THE GREAT COMBINE" FALLS WITH
ITS OWN WEIGHT.
The Pool That Pushed the Price OF Cot
ton Covering Beyond Its Legitimate
Value is Going to Pieces-The Rea-
con Why.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov 20.-The Ju.e
Bagging Trust, which during the last fall
has controlled the market for the covering
OF the cotton crop of this country, and
has obtained price for its product far
above its legitimate value, is reported TO
be going to pieces. The sales Of bagging
by the combination have been far below
the usual fall average, and have awakened
them to a knowledge OF the force OF pub
lie opinion, as opposed TO an unjust corner
ing and advance of prices by such mo-
nopolistic means. In addition to the short
age in sales, another obstacle now confronts
the bagging trust, which causes no small
uneasiness in its ranks. There are in all
twenty-iour baggng factories in the United
States, and OF these sixteen are shut down,
having been leased by the combine and
closed to lessen the production and give
semblance TO reason for the sudden adj
vance in prices last September, which cost
the cotton-rasing industry of the South
over SO, 10000 The first day OF January
these leases expire and the sixteen
factories are ready to start up again,
unless once more leased by the trust
and allowed TO remain idle. So far,
there has been no arrangements made
toward leasing by the "bagging combine"
and it is probable that several factories
will start up after the opening of the new
year, which is calculated TO interfere con-
siderably with the Combine" and natu-
rally cause decline in the price OF bag-
ging,
