LOCAL CAPITAL BUILDS 1T.
Towns Along the C., ID. & c. Road Give

Special 20 the Indianapolis Journal.
PORTLAND. Ind, Oct. 30.-An enterprise
which probably has few parallels has de-
veloped in connection with the recent move
to place on their feet the builders OF the
Cincinnati. Button 6; Chicago Railroad
from Huntington TO Union City.
The complete withdrawal by Eastern
financiers of their support OF the project
after construction had been begun is not
to defeat the construction OF the road. 1t
came TO light to-day that besides John s.
Bowers. OF Decatur, who Is paying off bills
against the construction company, some
twenty-five OF thirty more men OF Port
land. Pennville and Button are taking an
active part in firmly establishing the COM
pany financially.
The initial move to help the company out
OF the hole into which ii had fallen started
in this city few nights ago when a num-
Der of local men held meeting and agreed
to subscribe sums of ST. 900 to $1,000 for the
construction of the road. Now n similar
movement has been put on foot at Pennville
and Button and many thousands have thus
been raised and when the road is completed
il can be truthfully said that this railroad
is a purely local enterprise. John S. Bow
ers. of Decatur, who is managing the BUSH
ness affairs of the road. paid off $500 OF
the construction companys debts on Thurs
GaN.

STRIKE MAY BE AvERTED.


CHICAGO, Oct. So.-Negotiations have
been begun which will in all probability
result in preventing the threatened general
strike of packing house employees through
out the country. President Michael Dom
nelly. of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters
and Butcher Workmen's Union. received a
communication from the Chicago packers
tonight, asking for a conference to bring
about settlement of the difficulty Mr.
Donnelly sent word that he was ready to
meet representatives of the packers at any
time place they might suggest. Up to
a late hour tonight no time had been
fixed, but ii is believed the meeting will
take place tomorrow.
The Packing Trades Council will hold a
meeting tomorrow night, and a report
from President Donnelly on his conference
with the packers representatives and it's
result will form the basis for whatever
action is taken by the council. The en-
ployes of the sausage making and canning
departments in Chicago, who have been on
strike for several days expect President
Donnelly tC settle the trouble.

Many Men Rendered Idle.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 3.-Another batch
of Pencoyd iron works employees were laid
off indefinitely tonight. The number dis
missed Appropriated $50. almost evenly di-
vided between workingmen in the eighteen
inch steel mills and plate handlers. The
action of the mill managers caused no sur
prise. Day by day patches of men. from
fifty to 100 in each, have been dropped until
the payroll of The big plant. which former
~ contained upwards of 1000 names. has
been cut to almost one-fourth its original
length. Each department has lost its quota
of employees.
To most of the men the dropping of so
many employees Is a confirmation of the
report that the United States Steel Cor
poration contemplateS a complete shutdown
Immediately of the works. Some predict
that a complete closing will be ordered to-
morrow. Others say such action will be
deferred for a week.

the refusal of 1900 of the mine workers en-

Restraining Order Issued by Federal
Judge Against labor Unions
in Kansas City.

Kansas City, May 23.-An in junction
was granted Friday by Judge Phillips
of the federal court against the indus
trial council and most of the labor or
CARNATIONS in Kansas City restraining
the defendants from interfering with
the employees of two restaurants, from
posting the names, of customers eating
at these restaurants, and from doing
anything calculated to injure the bust
ness of the restaurants. The i%njunc,
ton is the most sweeping in character
that has ever been granted by the fed
eral court against the labor unions in
this city. The cooks and walters were
enjoined some time ago from pacing
back and forth in front of nonunion
restaurants and shouting to people to
boycott such places. After that the
union men watched the people who
ate at the nonunion restaurants and
had their names printed on cards as
being u~nfriendly to working people,
after which the cards were scattered
broadcast. The injunction granted Fri
day forbids this.
