strategic information which cannot be
published.

parel and househould goods, but it will
sell provisions OF all kinds.
The company will not have any stores
but will have solicitors. who will make
a house-to-house canvass and talk up
the scheme. Certificates will be sold
for various prices. giving those who
join the association I'm this way the
right to buy goods from the concern
from $50 upwards. In various parts of
the country a field force OF 5000 men

Port Arthur's Failure Inspired Battle.
Most OF the newspapers express the
opinion that Field Marshal Oyama, whom
they believe to be in suprame command.
was driven to attack General Kuropatkin
by disappointment over the failure OF the
operations against Port Arthur.
All the papers point out that the de-
cisive moment. to which all OF Kuropat-
kin's we'll thought out plans converged,
has arrived. saying that he has at last
drawn down the Japanese into tho plain
before Liao-Yang where positions have
been preparing for months under the d.
rection Of the Russian Engineer, General
Velitchko.

Men Employed in the

Plant at Todd's Cut
Resume Work This
Morning
Believed That the Force
Now Employed viii
Be Kept on All Win
ter-Men Are Jubi-
liant

Afer being closed down and running
intermittently for several months, the
Pennsylvania railroad car shops at
Todd's Cut went on full time this morn
ing with a big working force
The resumption came just as the
men were giving up hope Of work be-
fore the late fall Since last spring the
shops have been working on short time.
Each month or 50 the hours were cut
down until finally but two days a week
were made. This state OF affairs con-
tinued for some time when the general
lay-on occurred. Then only few Of
the old employees We're retained.
Ordered to Report.
With but a few hours notice the men
were told to report this morning to
their different departments. All
thought it would be to work but a few
days or even a few hours to get out
some special job, but when they
reached the railroad and saw so many
of their fellow workmen making for
the same destination. their spirits be-
gan to rise. When the shops were
reached and the full force was found it
was noised about that the work would
be permanent.
This rumor was confirmed later and
the men in a happy frame of mind at
tackled their various duties with a
vigor that showed wonderful headway
Aat-noon.
Departments Benefited.
In the passenger erecting and repair
departments. the machine shops and
the freight car department all Is bus
tie. It looked like old times to see the
swarms Of workmen going about theii
various duties and the hum of machin.
cry and ring OF hammers was a greai
contrast to the quiet which has reign.
ed there for several weeks,
The work came in good time foi
many. Being on short hours for Z
tlong period and then thrown out o.
work altogether a great number o
families were nearly down to their las
dollar.
An ohicial, in speaking Of the resump.
tion ow work. said in every probability
1t would be permanent. Every indica'
tion points in that direction. There il
a great quantity Of work 10 be done
This is particularly true Of the repaii
department. Cars have been kept ~
, the service to accommodate the vaca
tion crowds and people going to the st
Louis fair that ordinarily would havl
been sent to the shops long ago. Thes
cars have naturally grown worse ant
the time TO repair them viii be mucl
greater. BY the time the work alread!
on hand is completed this work vii
begin to come in and will without doub
keep the shops busy throughout tn
winter.
There were in the neighborhood o
500 men who went to work this morn
ing and by the next pay day severa
thousands of dollars win be distributes
among the men.
