 Settle Strike Under Nay-Shikers Issue Statement

The strikers executive comm1tte ls- sued the following statement this af- ternoon:
 To-day is the 31st day of the strike and matters remain practically un- changed.
 we are happy to state that letters containing moral and financial encour- agement are steadily coming in, which is a source of great encouragement to the men, At last nights meeting a communication was received from the New Haven Trades council, represent ing 56 locals in that city, including the trolleymen's union, offering us their moral aid and requesting us to draw on them for financial aid, if we need funds at any time.
 Gar No 20 on the South Main street line ran into a covered delivery wagon at II o'clock this morning. but with the usual good fortune, which seems to have lowered about the strike breakers since their advent here, the only dam- age which resulted was bent fender. The car was going at a terrific rate of speed and the motorman forgot there was gong on his car. However, to- morrow we expect to have several more buses added to our overland stage line so that we will soon have ac- cOmmodationS enough to carry the pub- lie in perfect safety.
 We noticed Dr Dayenport's public letter addressed to us in this mornings paper, but at this writing our secre- tray has not received a copy of it. l While we have the greatest admiration and respect for Dr Davenport, we could not consider his request to go back to work, with 9 of our 80 men who went out on strike under all the former existing conditions, by so do- 1 ing we would break the solemn paths we took the day after Colonel Burpee l submitted those unsatisfactory prop ositions.
 We do not believe that Dr Daven- I port really intends us to believe that he would have us go back under the old l state of affairs, when he stated as he
 did last Sunday the following: Tt would seem, too, that ten hours a day l of toll were enough, and that these might be So arranged that man could ! have time at home to make and keen the acquaintance of his wife and little ones, so that no child would ask as one dld Mamma, who is that man 1 that stays here over Sunday.?' For
 the information of the public. we would state that one of our men. dur ing seven or eight years service with the Connecticut Railway and Lighting company in this city, was able to at- tend services on Sunday with his wife and children less than half a dozen
 tlmes during that period. And the man
 would. like to have gone to church had
 he the opportunity.

All Night Session of The Amal-
 gamated Association.

Strike Deferred Until After Future
 Meeting ng-Chairman of National
 Board Was at Meeting Ready to
 Give His Sanction if the Men De
 cided to Go Out.
 Lynn, Mass, Feb 1O.-The street cars of the Boston and Northern sys- tenn were running as usual to-day, though some of the employees were rather weary after the all night ses- sion of the Amalgamated association. The union did not consider the strike question by vote, though Daniel l.. Dil- worth of Detroit, Mich, ch;s-man wf the national executive board of the association, was at the meeting with authority to sanction strike on the part of the national association if the men voted to come out. After the dis cussion at the meeting, the executive council met in secret session until Fri day morning, and the whole matter was put over, until future meeting and will probably be referred to the state association so that employees on other systems will have time to con- sider what action will be most expedi- ent. The local men do not care to strike alone. Another factor in bring ing about postponement of final action is an expected proposition from the officials of the Boston and Northern for better working system on the road The officers of the road are determined, however, that any change shall not appear as any part of, or as having any relation to the present movement of the men. The union will not be recognized in any way, it is stated The- employees desire an advance in wages, a recognition of the union and changes in certain rules.

GLAD 1T STUCK.

A few weeks ago the Brownsville
Herald announced editorially that
e the people of Brownsville wanted
a railroad they should support the
lott scheme and that in its opinion
the Arkansas Pass proposition was a
bIuf, pure and simple A few days
Eater the Railroad Commission in
1imated that it would be easy on
the Sap on condition that its lines
Se extended to Brownsville, which
shows that the Commission did not
consider the proposition bluff.
THE NEWS merely stated that either
che Herald are the Commission was
mistaken. 1t Is now settled fact
that Brownsville is to get both roads
and we rejoice with the Herald in
'sts good fortune. We are glad the
bluff" stuck.-karnes County
New
We'll, we won't split hairs over
question of logic with the News.
Since the News is so positive and
can say that ''it is a settled fact, ;"
we ought to be satisfied with the
prospects, whether the results come
logically or not. And results was
xhat we were after. The News may
mot be able to see the fnesse of the
game The Herald peayed, but that
rs a small matter. If the News ever
gets in a similar position we will
sell it how to get out.

Socialism In Japan.

The japanese government is try
Eng every means to prevent the
spread of socialism, and breaks up
socialist reunions. Commenting on
this a japanese journal remarks:
Short-sighted government Have
you not seen in history that your
sister governments have all failed
n the same attempt? A socialists
movement is. as it were, a rapid
stream. Suffer it to run its course,
and it will water the fields and fer
Gilize the soil. Check it in its
course, and its waters will overflow
ats banks and destroy all the plants
Dear laborers, l congratulate you
on having failed to hold your meet
zng. Remember that every sue
cess comes in the disguise of failures.
History plainly proves that wick
,edness raises its evil hand against
justice only to spread the dominion
sf the latter at its own cost. Look
st Christianity. Does not every
persecution help it to make its way
Eorth? It is justice that wins in
he end, though weak at the first
sight. Then, cheerup, dear friends.
An objection from the government
ss like large stone thrown into a
Eapid stream, and will only make
your movement more rapid and
sorcible than ever. And YOU will
win the victory at last.-Mexican

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.

Speaking to Star man the other
day about the irregular bonds OF
the Arkansas, $1,7OO,OOO, and the
So, 100000 excess of capitalization,
both of which the commission
demands shall be cancelled, Mr..
Alex Hamilton says it is a matter
of very vital concern to the people
since the courts have held that a
road must be permitted to earn
dividends on all such investments
and it is strictly to the puhIicinter-
est that no such unnecessary cap
italization shall be permitted by
the Commission and that the Com
mission is exactly right and within
the scope of lis authority in hay
ing it cut of Mr.. Hamilton has
had large experience in dealing
with railroads and the Commission
on carriage charges and Is well
posted in all such matters. -Cuero
Star.
And yet there are some people
who ''euss" the Commission. The
State never took a wiser action than
when it adopted the Commission.
We would today be paying the
freight on watered stock and bonds
if it were not for the Commission.
Paying interest on stock and bonds

mistakes, hut it is saving the peo-
pie OF Texas much money and will
save more in future years.-Gonza-

The Germ of Laziness.

Washington. July 24-Although
it has been less than six months
since Doctor Charles w. stiles,
Chief of the Division of Zoology of
the Public Health and Marine
Hospital Service, officially an
nounced the discovery of the hook
worm, or germ of laziness." pre-
parations are already under way in
several of the Southern States to
utilize the discovery in combating
the disease.
The State Board of Health of
North Carolina, through its secre-
tary, has taken the lead in the
work.
1t is asserted by scientists here
that the health officials of that
State soon will make an important
announcement as a result of the
experiments they are now conduct
ing. For obvious reasons the ex-
periments are being carefully guard
ed from publicity, but it is an
nounced that as soon as satisfactory
results have been obtained they will
be fully exploited.
The disease which results from
the ravages of the hook worm is
called "uncinariasis' by the scien-
fists. In common parlance it is
known as laziness. Apparently it
is mainly confined to one climate
Doctor Stiles thinks the ancient
Egyptians were acquainted with the
parasite.
A study Of the conditions of the
most widely infected regions of the
South, mainly in Florida, show
that the parasite attacks children
in the rural sections at very early
age. 1t has been demonstrated
that children who go barefooted or
who are permitted to loll around
freely on the ground in summer
time are the special victims of the
hook worm.
When the parasite thus gets
started it thrives marvelously to
the injury of its victims, actually
arresting the development of certain
parts of the body and delaying the
age of maturity.
