ference to fighting the Textile Unions
of LoWell, the agents of seven bio
cotton mills to-day ordered an entire
suspension CT work for an indefinite
period. Two days ago, these agents
officially announced that q canvas
Of the field showed that upwards of
80 per cent. were non-union and
were opposed to a strike. This senti-
ment changed yesterday and when a
second canvass was taken Of the
loom fXers, mule-spinners, carders,

morning, it vas seen that the tex
tile council was able to fulfill its

were posted on the gates and as the
piece hands completed their work.
they were told to leave. When speed
went down at noon, fully 1900 OPP
eratives had been forced into idle
ness. The length of the shut down
is problematical, but it is likely to
lastmany weeks, as the unions have
been promised financial support from
the United Textile Workers of
America, the National Mule Spin
ners' Association, the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and from the local
trades and labor councils, composed
of 45 unions.
Agent w. S. Southworth of the
Massachusetts mills, secretary of the {
manufacturers association, says that !
the shut down Will be for a fortnight :
they are greatly mistaken. It will !
last, he says, until the agents are
told that all the operatives :
want to work and when this time ,
comes, the agents will consider the s
Of resumption. :
President Conroy, of the Textile
Council, who stands as the strike !
says:
"The action OF the mill agents, =
simplifes matters. They have sim t
ply anticipated US. IF they had not {
declared a shutdown, we would have :

it. This makes it easy for us to 1

RIDDLE
God made Adam Of the dust.
But thought it best to make me first.
so was made before the man,
According to Gods holy plan,
My body He did make complete.
But without legs. arms or feet.
My ways and actions did control,
And I was made without a soul.
But God in me did something see.
And put q living soul in me;
q soul in me the Lord did claim.
Ard took from me that soul again
AND when from me that soul had fed.
vas The same as when first made.
But without legs, arms. feet or soul,
travel now from pole to pole.
We would like to state here, for the
oeneht OF CIn-Cho patrons who first
objected to its sweetness, we
nave recently made a change, doing

San Bernardino Denies Statements of
the California Labor Circular.

San Bernardino, Aug. AIT present
the largest shop force ever on the COM
pany's local pay roll is at work in the
shops. The number amounts to a lew
over 800 and the number would be much
higher were the men obtainable. These
figures do not include men in the train
service, Offices or yards, which would
add at least 500 to the total, which
counts up about 1900 men.
The class of employees termed laborers
are general roustabouts and are put at
such work as scrubbing cars, sweeping,
loading and unloading material and gen.
eral work about the yards. They re-
ceive $3.50 per day.
Recently a circular clipped from
Topeka paper to the effect that it was
needless for men to come west in search
of work as the market was already
overcrowded, was published in this
column. The paper from which it was
taken stated that copies of the circular
were posted about the Santa FEES shops
in Topeka and that similar letters
were being sent out from California to
all parts of the east and middle west
They were sent forth by the California
trade unions. Upon what the warning
was based is certainly mystery, if one
is to take the local situation as cri-
terion. Speaking for at least one city
in California, San Bernardino may read
the circular and reply, You're not talk
ing of me-"

Rock Island Denies a Desire to Fight
Texas Commission.

Fort Worth, Tex. Aug. Am official
of the Chicago, Rock Island and Texas
Railroad company, Newton n. Lassiter,
general attorney for the company in
Texas, yesterday denied the statement
sent from Houston to the effect that
his company proposed to go ahead with
the pending deal with the Houston and
Texas Central despite the action of the
Texas railroad commission. Mr. Las
sitter said that the Rock Island did not
expect to do anything contrary to the
wishes of the law or the ruling of the
commission knowingly, and if it did go
ahead and form the alliance with the
Central it would be done only after
learned attorneys had given an opinion,
but he knew there was no such inten-
ton on the part of the Rock Island to
do anything contrary to the commission
ruling in the premises.
1t was reported that the transfer of
the Central to the Rock Island and the
election of officers were scheduled to
transpire yesterday, but when seen Mr.
Lassiter said that he knew nothing OF 1t
and that if such a thing was to have
taken place he certainly would have

TRACKS INTO DALLAS.
Rock Island Now Completing It's
New Extension.

Dallas, Tex. Aug. 4-The crossing that
will enable the Rock Island to get over
the Katy's switch at the Turtle creek
pumping station arrived last night ana
was put in place this morning Inc
Rock Island contractors have again re-
sumed the work of track laying ana
operations inside the city limits are IN
full blast again. 1t is expected that the
track down to the crossing of the Texas
and Pacific on Pacific avenue will be
laid very rapidly There is an air OF
energy and business about the Rock
Island people again that is very pleas
ing to those who want to see the road
completed into Dallas.
A very interesting report is in circu-
lation today 1t is said that an under
standing has been reached whereby the
Rock Island will be allowed to make a
traffic agreement with the Central Tex
as and New Orleans and Houston East
and West Texas lines and that an easier
feeling now exists between the Rock
Island and the railroad commission
The report has gained general circula-
ton and is rather corroborated by the
Rock Islands renewal of activity. II
the report be true as many believe, 1t
is of much Importance and means that
the plans of the Rock Island-F'risco
combination viii now be hurried to d
final contamination.

Santa Fe Issues an Anti Sleeping Or
der at Naedles

If reports from Needles are to be be-
lieved, a handful of the men there have
been catching the strike fever from La
Junta Five of them We're out for
few hours last week because they
couldn't sleep. It wasn't the warm
weather which came as a preventive
to their slumberings, but rather un-
expected order from Division Master
Mechanic Schaefer. 1t seems that the
roundhOuse men on the night shift have
been in the habit of taking few short
snoozes during the times when there
was a slack of work They claim that
these snatches of sleep never interfered
with their work and in consequence,
when the notice was posted tabooing the
usual dream period, there was kick.
There was some talk of striking" and
in fact they claimed they were out of
the service for several hours during the
day but when night came they were
ready for work as usual, while the night
restaurant is selling an extra amount OF
black coffee to keep the force awake.

INVENT CLEVER RUsE.
How Railroads Pay Rebates and
Avoid the Elkins Law.


Chicago, Aug. Notwithstanding the
stringent provisions of the Elkins law
against paying rebates or giving pre-
ferential rates, large and influential
manufacturing concerns find no diff
Guilty in securing these concessions.
Industries having their own sidetracks
receive from the railroads bonus of
from 81 to S. per car for switching over
the track Small concerns which can
not afford to build tracks to their in
dustries are thus placed at a great dis
advantage.
Much complaint has lately been made
about this discrimination. and a move
ment has been set on foot to bring the
matter to the attention of the interstate
commerce commission and request in
vestigation.
Traffic officials of the western roads
held a meeting a few days ago to con-
slider the matter. The claim was made
that the roads had a legal right to pay
for the use of the tracks owned by large
concerns, and that there was no dis
elimination. as any concern having its
own tracks would receive similar re-
Enumeration.
Against this it was argued that there
was no uniformity in the amount paid
to big concerns, and that usually the
road which allows the biggest amount
for switching gets the business.
A proposition was made to do away
with the switching allowance to indus
tries entirely, and in lieu thereof allow
them a proportion of theregular through
rate This it was claimed would pre-
vent large industries having side tracks
of their own from holding up the roads
and compel them to accept uniform re-
Enumeration for the use of their tracks.
The proposition failed to carry because
some roads did not desire change, and
others did not think that anything at all
should be paid for the use of the tracks.

President Ripley Explains" a Sig
nificant Buggy Ride.

Trinidad, Col, Aug. 4.-The private
car of President Ripley of the Santa Fe
came in over the Colorado & Wyoming
yesterday afternoon from Tercio. When
asked concerning the supposed move of
the Santa Fe to head off the Rock Is
land in building a road from Dawson
to Tercio Mr.. Ripley said there was
nothing to the report and that there
was no significance attached to his trip
overland from Dawson to Tercio
Mr.. Ripley has been suffering all sum-
mer from a severe cold and come west
to see if the trip would be of any bene-
fit. At Dawson Mr.. Van Houten OF
RATION, president of the Maxwell Land
Grant company, offered to drive him
overland to Tercio. through the beauti-
full Vermajo country, and Mr.. Ripley,
thinking the trip would do him good,
went with his daughter and a girl
friend. He says that he knows nothing
about the Rock Islands intended move
ment. but that the Santa Fe has no
idea of building any branch road to
TerciO.
