thusiastic meeting of citizens in Alex

casion to for some time in this part of

toward giving Fourth celebration are
not exceedinly large, but as has been

Some Large Mills in South
Carolina May Have to
Shut Down.
AN the ASSOCIATED Press J

Roanoke. Va, Jan. IA gentleman
from South Carolina, was in Roanoke
today, arranging for coal shipments to
South Carolina. He stated that the lack
of fuel in and around Columbia had
brought industries to serious position.
Owing to floods it has been impossible
to utilize water to generate power, and
there being little coal available it was
believed there was danger Of a suspen
sion on the part of some of the i'm
meDse mills in South Carolina. He was
endeavoring to get immediate shipments
The fuel famine seems to be general
as there are complaints in all directions
Nearly all of the coal bearing railroads
have been seriously hampered of late
by high water and destructive floods.
Besides the Christmas holidays and con-
sequent inability to get miners has cut
off the supply at the fields. 1t is said
the Norfolk and Western have 1000 cars
waiting to be loaded. 1t is said that
some Of the railroads having no coal
fields to draw upon for fuel are reduced
TO the point of using wood.

BRICKLAYERs LOCKED OUT.
Failure of Union to Agree to New Rules of
Contractors.
(By the Associated Press

Richmond, Va, Jan. 1.-The members
of the Bricklayers Union were locked
out by the contractors this morning and
practically every building where brick
layers were employe is at standstill.
special meeting of the Brick Con-
tractors Association was held last night
when every member present agreed not
to start any more, or carry on any work
until the union should agree to certain
rules, which had been adopted by the
contractors.
Among the new rules is one changing
working hours from a. m. to a. m,
and from 4 p. m. to 5 p. m. Another
is that members of the union shall work
for none but members of the Contractors
Association
The latter rule, the members of the
union say, they will not consider, be-
cause it would stop them from working
for some of the largest contractors in the
city, who are not members of the asso-
citation, and thus would throw more than
half of their members out of work at
the present time.
