STRIKE RUMoR DENIED.
L. and N. Officials Say no Demands
 Have Been Made.

Have Been Made.
 Loulsville. Ky. Sept. s.-The Times to- day says:
 An ultimatum from the machinists' union shortly will be delivered to the off, ficials of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, and if the demands of the men are not granted. general strike may follow. Rumors of a strike are current through that section of the South pene-
 trated by the Louisville and Nashville. Considerable dissatisfaction exists among the machinists all over the sys- tenn. The fact that 140 men were lad of in the machine shops of the company at New Decatur last week. has been the cause of great dissatisfaction and is thought to have influenced the machin- ists in their contemplated action. The men were laid off because of a lack of work.
 In an interview with several members of the association at the Louisville and Nashville shops, the following statements were secured:
 While we will not admit that a gen. eral strike is in contemplation. 1t is a fact that we are not entirely satisfied | with the way things are going This dis satisfaction has spread among the mem- bers and has been discussed at our meet ings. AS result there will probably be demands upon the company in the
 near future. This may mean strike. The attitude of the officials will govern the actions of the union."
 When seen by a reporter, officials of the Louisville and Nashville positively denied the possibility of a strike. They said that no negotiations were on between the company and the machinists and that no | demands have been made. They have no
 knowledge of dissatisfaction among the machinists and consider the reports to be wild and wholly without foundation.

VETOED WERNER BILL
DISPENSARY ADvERSED BY
 TEMPERANCE COMMITTEE.
The Discussion Drew e Large Audi ence to Capitol Last Night Proposed Law Authorizes
 Elections in Counties.

The House Committee on Temperance at meeting last night in the hall of the House of Representatives decided to re- turn an adverse report on the Werner bill providing for the holding of an cleo ton in every county in the State, not a prohibition county, to decide whether the counties shall operate dispensaries.
 About seventy-five spectators were on the floor of the House and it looked as though the body was holding night ses- sion.
 Among those who spoke for the bill were Representatives c. B. Werner of Tusca- loosa, the author of the bill; ex-Senator Frank S. Moody of Tuscaloosa and c. s. Rabb of Evergreen.
 Representatives Blackburn of Jefferson, Hoffman of Mobile and Hall of Mont gomery and others spoke against the measure.
 At Il o'clock the committee retired into executive session, and after a few min utes' consideration of the bill decided to adverse 1t.
 It is understood that pr. Johnson of Russell, chairman of the committee. voted for favorable report.
 The Werner dispensarY bill which was introduced in the House of Representa- tives by MT. Werner of Tuscaloosa pro- vldes for an election on the first Monday in August, 1904, looking to the establish ment of a dispensary or dispensaries in certain counties of this State. The bill requires that in certain counties an elec- ton shall be held as to whether municipal corporations in said counties shall have authority to buy and sell spirituous, vInous and malt liquors; provides that the voters at said election shall vote Tor dispensary' or against dispensary; de- clares the result and effect or said cleo kha f'diGnpnS1rV used in the act provides that in those counties in which at the election afore- said is held if a majority of the votes are cast flor dispensary," the municipal cor nora lions in said counties. or some of said corporations, shall have authority to establish, maintain and operate dis nensaries and in and through such dis nensaries to buy and sell spirituous, yinous and malt liquors; prohibits and punishes the selling of liquors or intoxi- eating drinks in said counties and pun ishes the selling of liquors or intoxicating drinks in sad counties by any other per- son or in any other way than by and through such municipal corporation act Ing through their dspensaries: and further regulates the sale of liquors in said counties.
 The bill applies to all the counties of the State except those in which the sale of liquor is prohibited by law that is ap- plicable to the whole county. and except those also in which the municipal cor poration at the county side is authorized or directed to buy and sell liquors.
 It also provides that no one who lives or does business on premises that are within one hundred yards of a dispensary shall permit any person, not a member Ief his family or an invited guest to

ury. The bill embodies a good policy. It was an invitation to capital at large to come into Alabama.
 Bogart Against Bill.
 SIr Boys 1t of Jackson. was opposed to tIe bill lF the present state of Ala bama's finances, he said, every bit of the p-GLeIty in the State should be taxed He doubted that the bill would bring any rr.re cotton mills to Alabama. That it would bring in more cotton mills. he said. 1t could not be demonstrated by argu- ment.
 MT Foster of Tuscaloosa, was an earn es, advocate of the bill It had come un- de, his personal observation that the market price for cotton in the counties where there were large mills was much larger than in the adjoining counties. Such big mills as the Dwight mills. near Gadsden had come into Alabama while the old exemption law was in effect.
 MT. Maner of Montgomery, said that as A former South Carolinian, he wanted to bear witness to the good results of the policy inaugurated in that State. It had resulted In the building of great many mills in that State. In Spartan burg County alone he said, there were more spindles than in the whole State of | Alabama.
 | Hammer Cites Advantages. | MT. Hammer, or EtoWah, spohe edrH- estly for the bill. He explained the
 workings of the exemption law in his
 county, in which are located the well known Dwight mills. The first mill was
 erected at a cost of over $6O0.0OO under | the exemption law. He could not say | whether the mill was erected to take advantage of the exemption, but he did know that sfOO0O0 addition had been made to the mill to receive the advant- age the benefits of the exemption act. The l county of Etowah and the State of Ala bama, he said. had received annually | taxes on over $3OO.OO0 worth of property belonging to the mill and which was not exempt from taxation.
 He could call as witnesses members of the House to show that cotton was worth half a cent more in Etowah County when the Dwight mills were buying. He pointed out that Tennessee had not pursued this policy of encouragement and as a result the cotton mill industry was at A low ebo in that State. The bill was passed, ayes 62, nays 10, and the House at 5:3O o'clock adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning.

NEWS OF RAILROADS
AND OF RAILROAD MEN
Railroad Combinations.

1t was said at the offices of the Rail-
road Commission today that though the
figures on railroad business for last
year issued yesterday in the summary
Of the commissions report showed that
the increase was unprecedented, the
figures for the coming year will show
business again more than doubled.
That the era Of the railroads is here
is no longer to be doubted, and Just
where the accumulation OF wealth is go
ing to end is a problem. Some are of
the opinion that the period of indepen-
dent railroad construction is at an end.
and that hereafter the great systems
are going to dominate absolutely the
transportation business of the country,
and that it is only a question of time
before not more than half a hundred
men will be in control. The absorption
OF smaller lines by the big systems IS
going on rapidly, rot day passing that
something OF the kind is not chrOniCled
in the newspapers.
This is a condition that may even
tually benefit the country" said a local
railroad man today, but doubt il. or
course there will always be State con-
troll to a degree, but laws are lax, and
from being the greatest developers in
the world It may be that the railroads
may retard the growth of the country.
High prices for the land the roads con-
troll, the lack OF Government land. and
high rates are things that tend to keep
the population of OF the farming lands
in certain sections OF the country where
IL is needed.
Stronger hands than are now at the
helm in governmental railroad control
will be needed to prevent the combina-
ton l speak OF. There is too much
money in combinations for the roads
not to fight for the privilege. Mr.. Rock
efeller may have announced that Mr.
Morgan would not be allowed to com
bine any more railroads, but Mr.. Rookie
Teller has not remarked that he would
not combine other systems himself"
