ORIGIN OF THE TROUBLE.

Trouble has been brewing between
the New Orleans Street Railway COM
pany and the union for several weeks.
After Lne Pearson syndicate secured
control of all the traction lines in the
city, as well as the electric and gas
plants, the management began the
work of cutting down the expenses
and discharging old employees. This
created discomfort, but the company
paid no attention to complaints and
continued its policy of retrenchment.
Prior to the consolidation there were
four competing systems in the city,
cars were run on two and three-mln-
ute schedules and the service was first
class. After the merger was affected
the new owners took off large num-
Der of cars and crews and began run
ming on five-minute schedules. There
was a protest against this step by the
union, but the company asserted that
and ignored the complaint Recently
the company purchased large num-
Der of cars as big as the passenger
coaches on the trunk line railroads
and put them in operation. This had
the effect of further reducing the num-
Der of employees, and the street car
union began lokiong for flaw in the
agreement signed last April in order
to find an excuse for strike. The
executive board of the union made an
investigation and reported that the
company had violate4 the agreement
in several particulars, the most i'm
portant of which is that the men are
required to put in irregular hours in
stead of ten hours day continuously,
as stipulated in the contract. The
union held a meeting, declared the
old contract broken and formulated
new demands. The company in reply
claimed that it had not violated the
old agreement and fatty refused to
sign the new contract. Both sides
were firm and the strike resulted.

Wells to Be Plugged.

Beaumont, Texas, September 27.-
An enthusiastic meeting Of oil pro-
ducers who are largely interested in
Spindle Top oil properties was held
in the offices of the Moore-Skinner-
syndicate this evening. Mr.. w. E.
Griffiths reported for the finance COM
mittee that about $4,000 had been sub
scribed to be expended for the plug
ging of water wells on the hill. The
water committee has reported on four
wells that must be plugged The meet
ing adjourned at 10 O'CLOCK tonight to
meet again at the same place next
Tuesday evening, at which time con-
tracts will be awarded for the plug
ging of the water wells.
Manager Griffiths of the j. M. CUT
fey Petroleum company today made

STREET CAR TTEUP
NOT A STREET CAR WAS RUN.
MING IN NEW ORLEANS SUNDAY.
DEMANDS OF EMPLOYEES.
The Strike is Orderly and There is a
Disposition on the Part of the
Company to Arbltrate.

New Orleans, September 29-Not a
single street car was operated in the
city yesterday, both sides devoting the
day to preparation for the struggle.
The union men established headquar
tiers and arranged forces near the va
rious barns, besides aligning the line
men and other unions to aid in the
cause. The street railway company
advertised for 800 men and asked the
mayor for two policemen for each car.
Two hours later the advertisement was
withdrawn and an effort was made to
have the men return to work and sub
NIT the differences to arbitration.
The street car men are considering
this proposition but up to midnight
there is little prospect of peace. So
far there has not been any trace of
disorder.
The strike involves about 1900 men,
none of whom appeared for work to-
day.
The demands of the New Orleans
Street Railway union are as follows:
An eight-hour day an 25 cents per
hour with a straight run; a recogni-
ton of the union; head pitmen $50
per month; other pitmen, $50 per
month; car washers, $50 per month;
the pitmen and car washers to have
tAree days off every month with full
pay.

AN IMPORTANT MEETING.
Lumbermen May Withdraw Their Pro-

Beaumont, Texas, September 27.-
The rapidly growing demand for lum-
Der in Beaumont has caused the Texas
Lumbermen's association to call di.
rectors' meeting for this city on Sat-
urday for the purpose of deciding
whether or not Beaumont is to be
placed on the list of protected cities.
At present the protection is being
given the local dealers and manufac-
turers and outside manufacturers can
not ship in here, but the effort is be-
ing made to change this state of af-
fairs and the meeting Saturday is to.
determine it. The whole State is in
terested in it from the fact that It.
affects every manufacturer in the
State. There are three saw mills.
five planners and other building here
and three retail yards besides, and the
situation therefore is complex to the
lumbermen. The mills north Of here
and east want to snip in and some Of
the local people do not want them to.
OF course, the outside mills can ship
to the yard and the mills, but they can
not ship to man who wants to build
a house.

PROTEST is WRONG
GENERAL SALAZAR HAS NO
GROUND FOR COMPLAINT.
NO TREATY INFRINGEMENT.
United States Has Right to Land
Marines on the lsthmus for En-
forcing Neutrality Laws.

Washington, September 27.-In re-
gard to the protest against the land
ing of American marines on the 18TH
mus made to Commander Mclean of
the Cincinnati by Governor Salazar of
Panama ON the ground that the Co.
lombian government has ample force
to protect the lives and property or
foreigners, it is pointed out here that
the governors argument takes in only
one-half of the main treaty obligation
with regard to the isthmus assumed
in the convention of New Granada,
signed in 1886 by the United States
and Colombia. The dominant factor
which influenced the landing of the
marines was the obligation which the
United States took upon itself by the
treaty of 1916 in these words THE
United States guarantees positively
and efficaciously to New Granada by
the present stipulation the perfect
neutrality of the berofe mentioned
isthmus with the view that the free
transit from the one to the other sea
may not be interrupted or embarrass-
ed in any future time while this treaty
exists"
Furthermore, in respect to the gov
ernor's reported declaration that the
considered the landing Of the United
States naval force an attempt to Sc
cure the sovereignty of Colombia, at
tention is directed to this declaration
in the same paragraph of the treaty:
THE United States also guarantee
the rights OF sovereignty and property
which New Granada possesses over
the said territory"
So far neither the state department
nor the navy department has been in
formed officially of the protest of the
Panama government. 1t was stated
at the navy department today that no
mention of the protest was made In

mander Mclean yesterday in regard
to which only a general statement
was made public. II Governor Salizar

here are not inclined to the same view.
They point out that there would have

isthmus on Wednesday when 800 in

trains, had it not been for the pres
ence of the Americans.

THE NEW TROLLEY LINE.
Supposed Surveyors for the Road
Coming Towards This City.

corps of surveyors supposed to be
working in the interest of the new
trolley line that promises to be factor
in the city's activities, are making
measurements in the southern end of
the city, presumably along the pro-
posed path of the road.
The re-appearance of the surveyors
has awakened speculation as to how
the new line will enter Carbondale. 1t
semes certain that it will come up
through Brooklyn, but this is only
guess work as to the terminal in this
city. The old story about the rink site
at South Main street and Seventh street
as being the coveted spot has been re-
vived like all the other poorly founded
rumors. No one can say, with the
least degree of certainty, where the
road will enter the central part of
town and where the terminal will be
located, for the promoters of the road
are discreetly silent and are holding
the surveying corps under the most
sacred silence. About the rink site, it
can be said that no options have been
sought, nor on the Anthracite building
which was also talked Of as u possible
site

olson, Willis Wilson, Fred Gleason, had
great evening of fun on Thursday
night at the home of o. r. Hall in
Dundan, where Il sugar lick" was
held.
A sugar lick" Is an indispensable
feature of the maple sugar season. So
soon as the sap begins to run; the
mind, in the rural towns, turns to
sugar parties and of these the sugar
lick is the most popular The sign-
flcance of the dick" is that you get
n bowl or saucer of warm maple sugar,
fresh from the vat of boiling syrup.
The warm syrup is stirred until it
sugars and is then eaten, with that
relish that everybody whose palate is
tickled with new maple sugar. This
relish is so keen that one is tempted
to lick the platter clean, like Jack
Sprat and his wife.
In the assemblage at the Hull home
the country round about was we'll rep
resented. A delightful evening was
spent. Games that city folks know
nothing about, but are the thing in
the country, made the night u merry
one. A feature of the evening was
