Comparative quiet now reigns at
the iron mines in Hibernia and Port
Dram and it is hoped that the labor
trouble there can be settled without
recourse to more severe measures
than the persuasive tongue.
For a time, the early part of the
week, however, the outlook was any
thing but reassuring or pleasing. In
four different mines about 800 men
quit work and threatened to stop all
work in the mines unless the COM
panies came to terms.
The whole trouble was caused by a
cut in wages of twenty five per cent.
At first sight this may look like a
big reduction but as matter of fact
the reduction amounts to nothing as
the miners are now getting the same
pay they were six months ago. When
the price of iron went up the wages
of the miners was advanced. First
there was an advance of fifteen per
cent and then a further advance of
ten per cent. Then the price of iron
went down and the companies were
obliged to recuee wages.
The miners are now getting about
$1.65 day on an average for eight
hours work. When the cut was made
they were not at all satisfied and quit.
Tho not;vac cf TT;bar,.;a ood Do-A
Dram were willing enough to continue
at that figure but the Hungarians
made trouble and it was on their
account the work had to be stopped.
AS they threatened to pull the fires,
to shoot any man who went to work
in the mines, to do all manner of
things to cause trouble the mine
owners were obliged to ask for protec-
tion for their property. Accordingly
they appealed to Sheriff Baker.
The Sheriff Immediately swore in
E. l.. Durling as an under sheriff and
then proceeded to the scene of the
disturbance accompanied by posse
of dozen deputies collected here.
At the mines more deputies were
sworn in, about twenty in all being
added to those brought from Morris
| town.
For time it looked as though the
matter might result in a serious riot
but after the facts of the case had
been explained to the men they agreed
to return to work providing they
were not further reduced. This
promise was given together with an
other to the effect that as soon as the
price of iron advanced so as to allow
it, the wages of the men would again
be raised

Tyler. Texas, April l6.--Mr. S. G. War
ner, the we'll known passenger and ticket
agent OF the Cotton Belt. has resigned
his position to accept similar place with
the Kansas City Southern road His resIg-
nation takes effect May /. Mr.. Warner
has been with the Cotton Belt thirteen
years and is recognized as one OF the very
best railroad men in tho country. Gen.
eral regret is felt at the departure OF Mr..
and Mrs. Warner from Tyler, where they
have lived for SO many years. Mr.. War;
ner's new headquarters will be at Kansas
City. His successor on the Cotton Belt
has not yet been named.
CONGRATULATIONS FROM HOUSTON.
The news OF the resignation of Mr.. War
ner. reported exclusively and for the first
time in The Post OF Sunday morning. came
in the nature OF decided surprise TO
most of the many fiiends OF this popular
gentleman, although In some quarters 1t
has not been wholly unexpected since Mr..
j. A. Edison transferred his allegiance
from the Cotton Belt to the Kansas City
Southern. Mr.. Warner is one OF the best
known and certainly one of the pest liked
men In the business and OF course every
enc who knows him is prepared to offer
congratulations on his good fortune
considerable amount OF speculation
is being indulged in as TO me probable
identity OF MIR. Warmers successor, but of
course nothing concerning the matter has
been given out here. 1t is thought Ia
mcst quarters that the company will not
go away from its own line, but will pro-
mote some OF its present employees TO I'LL
the position to be made vacant by MIR.
Warmers withdrawal on May /, while. on
the other hand, some people who claim
to be acquainted with the situation say
that the new general passenger agent will
be the son OF prominent official of
well known trunk line.
