GOMEZ ROASTS UNION
The Old Warriors Vigorous Words
Have Their Effect and the
Havana Strike Is Prac-
tically at an End.

Havana, Nov. 1.-The Central Labor
Union tonight decided to call on the
strike and committees were appointed to
inform the various unions of this de-
cision. There will probably be COM
plete resumption Of the work tomorrow.
Much of the credit for the settlement
Of the strike. is due to General Gomez.
who headed the committee which con-
suited today the officials Of the Havana
Commercial Company. against whom the
strike was first directed. After the con-
ference. General Gomez and the majority
of the committee expressed themselves
as satisfied at the stand the company
had taken.
The officials maintained that they had
not Disseminated against Cuban appren-
tees. the fact being that the company's
books showed that over 80 per cent Of its
apprentices were Cubans. The company
would maintain and even increase this
ratio, but 1t refused to Treat with the
Central Labor Union in matters pertain
ing to its employees. The officials said
that they always were willing to meet
q committee made up of workers from
tneir IdCtofles, anu tHey deTeeu " oP@i'
the factories again IL the men returned
to work.
General Gomez and the committee az
forwards met the Central Labor Union
and the old warrior did not spare words
in his condemnation of the action OF the
union in calling out the workmen. He
said It was a revolution and not strike,
ard that the war veterans stood ready
to take up arms in support Of the Gov
eminent to maintain order.
That ended the strike as far as the
Central Labor Union was concerned. 1t
did not care to brave General Gomez's
wrath and word was sent out to have
the men return to work. There may be
some difficulty with the local unions, but
the backbone Of the strike Is broken and
tomorrow will undoubtedly see most Of
the laboEers at work.

READY TO MEET ooMPERs.
Trades Council Thought Labor Or
ganizer Was Coming Here.

Trades Council Thought Labor Or
ganizer Was Coming Here.
Laboring under q interpretation, a
committee was appointed. at the regular
weekly meeting of the Central Trades
Council last night. to meet President
Samuel Gompers of the American Fedora
ton OF Labor and entertain him while in
Montgomery.
Yesterday Bryan Goode. one of the vice.
presidents Of the body received a mysteri-
GUS telephone message informing him that
President Gompers would spend two
hours in Montgomery today. The mes
sage suggested that the Central Labor
body entertain him.
Acting on the suggestion Mr.. Goode
made arrangements for the reception OF
Mr.. Gompers. Several carriages were
engaged to meet the president and his
party of eight or nine prominent labor
men, at the Union depot at $50 o'clock
this morning. They were then to be
driven to the capitol and other points of
interest in Montgomery. The message
had stated that Mr.. Gompers would leave
Montgomery at $50 o'clock
Last night Mr.. Goode reported his ar
rangements, which were endorsed by the
Council. A committee of the presidents
Of all of the Montgomery unions. was
appointed to receive Mr.. Gompers.
After the meeting 1t developed that Mr..
Gompers would not pass through Mont
gomery ana had not intended coming
here. He had left New Orleans for
Birmingham by another route and spent
yesterday and last night In the Magic
City.
A resolution was adopted at the meet
ing, requesting that an organizer be sent
to Montgomery to form several unions
and perfect others.

TO PREVENT A PRIMARY.
Kentucky Committeeman Goes to the
Courts for Injunction.

Kentucky Committeeman Goes to the
Courts for Injunction.
Frankfort. KY. Nov. 2s.-The Demo-
cratic State Executive Committee met
here today and ordered q preliminary
election for the nomination OF all State
candidates. The primary Ii called for
May 8 next.
The calling Of primary Is an innovation
with the party in this State, convention
having always been held heretofore. and
the opponents of 1t asserted that q ma
jority of the candidates and prospective
candidates for State Offices opposed hold
ing primary. but none Of them went
before the committee to make a protest.
Tonight Committeeman Charles w.
Meacham. who dissented from the COM
mittee's action, filed a suit to enjoin the
committee from holding the primary and
sets UP the claim that the call is illegal
and void and usurpation OF power that
the committee does not possess under the
present party law. It also asserts that
Chairman Young and majority of the
committee have combined and conspired
with certain candidates for State Offices
to hold the alleged illegal primary and to,
by fraud and other means. prevent fair
expression Of the voters. Chairman
Young and other members Of the COM
mittec were served with notices OF the
injunction before they left the city to-
night
A temporary restraining order was
granted and the case will be tried before
Judge Cantrill later.

Plant Of New Light Company Not to
Be Pushed-Combine Of Two
Montgomery Car Companies
Gossiped.

Work has been stopped on the improve
ments contemplated by the Merchants
Light and Power Company at the corner
of Lawrence and Columbus Streets.
A force Of workmen have been engaged
in razing old houses for the purpose OF
constructing buildings for the proposed
light plant The contract for building
to cost $4,000 has been awarded and the
City Engineer has issued a permit to the
contractor.
Since 1t was given out that the new
light company had secured a contract
to furnish the Montgomery Street Rail-
way with motive power after February /,
the stopping Of work on the buildings
caused a rumor to go out last night that
the two Montgomery car companies are
soon to be consolidated.
Street car company consolidation ru-
mors were. prevalent several days ago
but the management of both companies
gave the rumors fiat denials.
Charles G. Abercrombie. President OF
the Merchants Light and Power Com
psny, said last night thaE work on the
buildings had been stopped until certain
changes couli be made. Just what these
certain changes are. Mr.. Abercrombie
would not say. He declared. however,
that they affected the plans Of the pro-
posed buildings rather than the future
plans of the company.
EIr. Abercrombie said that his COM
pany had been given more time to per-
feet its arrangements than it originally
had. He would not discuss the rumors
of consolidated interests and said he pre-
ferred not to talk about the matter fur
Their at this time.
The power contract between the Mont
gomery Street Railway and the Mont
gomery Light and Power Company tx-
pires February /. The Montgomery
Traction Company and the Montgomery
Light and Power Company are allied in
terests to the extent that several of the
same persons are interested in both cor
porations.
II is said that II the two car companies
were combined the Merchants Light and
Power Company would lose its valuable
contract to furnish motive power for the
Montgomery Street Railway.
Additional color is given the rumors
by reason OF the fact that member of
the firm of j. G. White & Co, promoters
of the Montgomery Traction Company. is
now In Montgomery.
A conference of persons interested in
the Merchants Light and Power Com
pany was held last night. Mr.. Abercrom-
bic said he was not at the conference.

Have No Cause to Complain Of Their
Treatment.

Santiago, Cuba. Nov. 25.-The local
paper issued sensational extras at noon
today giving alleged Havana dispatches
stating that serious rioting was taking
place in that city.
The publication of these reports caused
considerable excitement, but little SYM
pathy for the strikers is expressed here.
The leaders Of the labor organization say
that not being aware of the conditions of
work at Havana, they do not criticize the
strikers, but they are satisfied with the
conditions at Santiago. The stevedores
who recently demanded certain conces-
sions had their request gratified.
1t is reported that four delegates of the
Havana strikers are on their way hither
to endeavor to organize sympathetic
strikes.

HAIR NATURALLY ABUNDANT.
When It Is Free Of Dandruf, 1T
Grows Luxuriantly

Hair preparations and dandruff cures.
as a rule, are sticky or irritating affairs
that do no earthly good. Hair. when not
diseased. grows naturally luxuriantly.
Dandruff is the cause OF nine-tenths OF
all hair trouble. and dandruff is caused by
a germ. The only way to cure dandruff
is to kill the germ; and so far, the only
hair preparation that will positively de-
stroy the germ is Newbro's Herpicide-
