Fort Worth, Texas, November ia
case which has probably been on the
docket of the Federal court of the North

other since the organization Of THIS
branch OF court, will come up at the
present term and will be heard by Judge
Meek. 1t is styled Martin Irons against
George Knapp q Co. ct al, and is a. suit
for damages in the sum OF $4,000. The
case has many times been continued for
service, but is to be heard, or at least II
is down on the docket for hearing Mon
day. December 3.
At one time Martin Irons was one OF
the best known leaders in the labor world
and was at the head OF the knights Oh
Labor during the great strike on the
Missouri Pacific system. There are a
number of citizens here now who wiil
long remember tina. trouble, for they
were badly wounded in a conflict that &C.
Cured at the old union station.
After the filing OF the above suit irons
suddenly dropped out of sight ana ms
whereabouts is not known here. 1t Is
more likely that the case will be thrown
out of court at this term OF the United

up-Gcncrai officials of the COM
pany Expected TO Arrive.

There was nothing in the local telephone
strike situation yesterday that could be-
taken AS an indication OF change. but
it is believed by the local management for
the company that Vice President petdngill
ana General Manager Bakon who arc now
at san Antonio will como TO Houston
Thursday In all probability the strike
Will then lose some of its regularly quiet
features or that settlement will be
reached The exchange here is not taking
any steps whatever to have tho employees
return to work. and tho latter appear to
be us firm as ever in their determination
not TO return to work until their demands
are complied with TO tho very letter.
| The main source OF interest around
strike headquarters yesterday was the big
ball, schedulel for tonight at Bryan hal
and il was said that tickets were beina
sold very Upidly
/ No effort has yet been made by the
strikers to induce business men TO cancel
their orders for telephone service, and II
is possible now that no such stops VII
be taken, at least for a few days.
No one has any idea what action VIII
be taken by the vice president and gen
eral manager TO resume the service wher
thcy arrive and any opinion Expressed
could have no other foundation than more
conjecture. It has seemed TO he the polleJ
OF these officials to reopen the exchange ~
each place Independently OF the condiu J
Of aftlits at other places, hence they nav
so far only given their attenkiSn TO lh'
