TENNESSEE LABOR TROUBLES.
East Tennessee Miners Refuse to let
Convcts Work in the Mines.


A Knoxville dispatch of July Is
says news had been received from
Briceyille, a small mining hamlet
near Coal Greek, in Anderson
County, that on Tuesday night 40
convicts at work there were taken
charge of by miners, marched tothe
East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor-
gia Railway depot, placed on board
a car and told to leave.
The trouble grew out of diff
Guilty last spring about the scale of
wages paid 10y the Tennessee Coal
Mining Company, the miners de-
handing a weigher of their own,
and claiming pay far odd weights.
The system is vogue is to put 1000
pounds on a mine car; if it weighs
1875 pounds, the miner gets credit
for but 1900; if it weighs 1905
pounds, he gets credit for but 1000.
There was a difference also between
the operators and miners on the
question of grading and classifying
the coal. Every effort was made
to settle the trouble, but without
success, and the miners went out
on strike. The mines have re-
NAMED idle for a time, but as the
busy season was near at hand, the
operators determined to commence
work, and failing to arrive at a sat
isfactory understanding with the
strikers, they contracted with the
State for l25 convicts. The first
installment of 40 were sent to the
mines on July 5.
Tuesday night the striking min
ers, several hundred strong and well
armed with Winchester rifles, sur
rounded the convict camp and no.
titled the superintendent that the
convicts must be surrendered to
them. This demand was refused
but the miners were determined
and finally it was agreed that the
convicts would be surrendered tc
: the miners on condition that they
be returned to the custody of the
proper officials at the East Tennes
see depot, 4 miles distant, which
was done.
The convicts were brought tC

the sheep have been wet and the yolk

umn article in Clark's Horse Review
Of May II, on DR.. Barber's noted
stallion. The article is accompanied
by a fine half page cut of the horse.
The doctor has encountered no end of
hostile criticism since he became the
owner of Goldstone and he now has
reason to be pleased that his judgement
has been upheld by the best judges of
horse flesh in the country. After
speaking of the race in which he obtain
ed his record the Review says:
"Goldstone's advantages in the stud
had been very much limited up to the
time the doctor bought him, and had
but very few colts and they were near
ly all owned by people who would not
have them trained. Only two Of his
get have ever been in a trainers hands
or under trainers care. Charlie ",
chestnut stallion sired by him was
under the care of a careful and pains
taking trainer for about three months
in his -four. year-old form, and was
then started and driven by novice in
his first race over very poor half-mile
track, and distanced the field the third
heat in 1924 and two weeks later he
made record over a half mile track,
the fifth heat in winning race, of 2:30
and with any reasonable good reinsman
behind him he could have been driven
mile over the same track in 20 or
better that day. Frank WEIGH, by
Goldstone, was handled short time
last year and worked mile in 2:44i
very handy. These are the only ones
of his get that have been handled by a
trainer.

A Splendid Canadian Journal.


The DOMINION ILLUSTRATED not
only maintains but steadily improves
upon the high standard of literary and
artistic excellence which has especially
marked that splendid Canadian journal
since its enlargement at the beginning
of this year TO "a pages weekly. The
handsome engravings produced each
week are well selected, and in addition
TO general views there are always some
relating to current matters of general
interest. a group of bright and gifted
writer's are regular contributors to its
literary contents: and its pages reflect
the best thoughts Of clever men and
women. Such journal deserves the
gratifying support which it receives at
the hands Of the reading public. The
enterprising publishers, the Sabiston

their constant aim to improve both the
matter and appearance of the journal,
and their success is certainly crafty
