AN UNEQUAL FIGHT.

The Executive Arm of the State and the
Nation Is Raised to strike Down Union
Labor.
It would seem from the following As
sociated Press dispatches that the whole
military force of the United States is at
the service of the capitalistic monopo-
lists, to assist in crushing out organized
union labor:
General Counsel A. S. Colyar, of the
Tennessee Coal & Iron Co., said at the
Fifth Avenue hotel in New York in re-
gard to the convict labor troubles and
the company's state lease: Zone thing
is certain, that when the Tennessee
Coal & Iron Co. once gives up its lease
1t will never again employ convict Ia
Dor. One of the chief reasons which
first induced the company to take up
the system was the great chance which
1T seemed to present for overcoming
strikes. For some years after we began
the convict labor system we found that
we were right in calculating that the
free laborers would be 10th to enter up
on strikes when they saw that the COM
pany was amply provided with convict
labor, and, as ] am one that does not
approve of the convict system, ] don
mind saying that for many years the
company found this an effective club to
be held over the heads of the free labor
ers. But the clamorings of the people
for the past few years, combined with
the recent disgraceful events, have dis
gusted the company with the whole
business, and we shall all be glad when
we are well out of it,
''The officers of the Tennessee Coal,
Iron and Railroad Co. and the board of
prison inspectors met in Nashville,
Tenn, to consider the answer of the
lessee to the orders recently made by
the inspectors. The board decided to
accept the proposition of the lessee and
ordered that the convicts be returned
to the branch prisons from which they
were removed at the earliest practicable
moment. This means that the state
will guard and protect the lessees
against violence from mobs and that
the mines will be re-opened and the
convicts put at work. The latest from
Coal Creek is that quiet prevails and
that squads of miners are still being
arrested and examined
All the saloons at this place have
been closed and no one is allowed in
the streets after II p m. The saloon
keepers are strong sympathizers of the
miners and their places have been
closed to prevent secret meetings of the
union. The Poorman and Tigers mines
are worked by union men who rendered
support to those who were locked out
To break up the union Gen. Curtis or
dered a shut down in both mines and
will not allow union men to be en-

horse sense; that is why theywill vote

THE PLANTAIN AS FOOD.

variety OF Methods Used In Preparing
This Tropical Product.
The texture of the plantain in De-
marara Is such that at whatever stage
1t is used, whether green or ripe, it
must be cooked to make it palatable.
Plantains are chiefly used by the popu-
lace while still green-i e., cut at some
period before they are full grown.
They are cooked either by boiling or
roasting, chiefly the former. To sue
cessfully peel a green plaintain with
out soiling it, the operation mus. be
performed with wet hands or with tho
fruit immersed in water. The plaintain
contains measure of tannic acid and
consequently in boiling in metal pot
has tendency 10 turn very dark. This
may, however, be prevented by boiling
a little fat with the fruit-say a bit of
fat pork Green plantains are also
used for making soup. For this pu--
pose they are boiled and then pounded
in a mortar, when they form homo
geneous mass like dough, which Is put
into soup and eaten with it. In the
mature but still green stage, plantains
are roasted and eaten with butter, pep
per and salt and in some cases cheese.
In this state they are delicious
