STOPPING THROUGH TRAINS
A Movement Begun Which Must Have
its Iimits-Throu.h Trains Would
Soon not be Fast Trains Il they
Stopped at Every Hamlet.

Columbia, S. C., october 6.-Wheth-
er through fast trains can be made to
stop at the quest of communities or
- the ra:lorad commission is a serious
Issue that is now on its way to the
courts.
The railroad commission today
placed in the hands of Attorney Gen
eral Gunter the papers in the Laea
case, with instructions to bring sui,
against the Atlantic Coast Line rail-
road to compel their fast trains to stop
at Latta. This is the beginning of
what will probably be a hard fought
case IN the matter of compelling
through fast trains to stop at stations
not now designated for stops.
Several months ago the citizens OF
Latta, a town of aGbount 500 Inhabitants,
in Marion county, p~etitioned the COM
mission to force the Coa Line road
to stop the fast train between Jackson
vile and the North. The railroad COM
mission visited the town and, after q
conference with the people and a hear
ing with the officials who objected to
the order, issued an order for the trains
to stop there. 1t is reported that five
trains disobeyed this order, and the
matter has been put in the hands of
the attorney general for settlement.
Latta is an ambitious town, and the
train now stops at Dillon, just eight
miles south of Latta, so that the roads
are all interested in the outcome, as
it would give many small towns the
right to order fast trains through this
state stopped, which would seriously
affect the schedules. If the railroad
commission should be prevailed upon
to favor the idea large numbers OF
voters would petition for fast trains to
stop at their home towns at no cost TO
themselves.-News and Courier Special.

Strikers and Manufacturers.

Fail River. Mass, October 6--The
conference arranged by local business
men, between the secretaries OF five
labor unions. representing the $500
striking textile workers here. and a
committee from the cotton mil manu-
facturers who signed the wage reduc-
ton agreement was held today and
came naught. Neither party TO the
controversy would concede a single
point, and at the conclusion of the con-
ference the strike appeared TO be no
nearer a settlement than when IL was
declared nearly II weeks ago. No un>
derstanding was reached as to a future
conference

ROW OVER MUSICIANS
st. Paul Bricklayers' Union Didn't Join
Labor Day Parade.

st. Paul Brick!ayers union did not
appear in the Labor Day parade. The
a band for the parade, and an effort
was made to hire union band, but
this was found to be. impossible for the
reason that all union musicians had
been previously engaged. After con
ference with the president Of the Must
clans union, who stated that union mu-
sicians could not be obtained, the com
mittee from the bricklayers engaged the
Fort Smelling band. -,.~
When the musicians heard of this
they brought the matter before the St..
Paul Trades assembly, claiming that the
constitution Of the American Fedora
tion Of Musicians prohibited them from
taking part in any parade in which mil
itary bands participated except on state
occasions. The assembly upheld the
musicians in their stand, and the chief
marshal was instructed to keep the Fort
Smelling band out Of the parade The
executive committee of the assembly
visite ed the Bricklayers' union, and re-
quested that the band in controversy be
withdrawn. This was done, but the
bricklayers also decided that they
would not appear in the parade.

AIDING COLORADO STRIKERS
Cigarmakers Pay 25 Cents Each-Local
Unions RepOrt

A proposition to levy a 25-cent as:
sessment on the general membership of
the Cigarmakers' International union,
to aid the Colorado strikers, has been
voted upon and adopted by the mem
bers. In this way something like $12,-
600 will be turned over to the western
unionists. Local members Of the union
are paying their assessment this week,
and the total amount will be available
9n two. months, eight weeks being al
lowed in which to make returns to the
international union. All things consid-
cred, there is not body of men in the
world who do more for the general well
fare Of the toilers than the cigarmak-
ers While the average pay will come
very much under $15 a week.. the av-
erage dues and assessments for each
member will come to about $40 year.
Financial Secretary E. G.. Hall has
Just completed his monthly report,
which shows the receipts for the cur
rent month to be $3344O, and the ex-
penditures SLABS. Cash in possession
of the union is $5,534.s6. In the past
month 22,645 labels were issued for four
weeks, against 27,5O6 for five weeks
last year. The sum of $236.51 was spent
for label advertising. The membership
list shows 243 in good standing.

MAY CONSOLIDATE
Bricklayers and Masons Visited by
~ President Of Union. .....

Thomas r. Preece, president of the
Bricklayers' and Masons' International
union, is in Minneapolis. He is inyes-
tigating conditions which have arisen
because Of the existence Of separate I'M
ions of bricklayers and stonemasons.
Men engaged at either of these trades
usually work at both when opportunity
offers, but in this city this is not posi-
BILE at the present time. Much incon-
venience has been experienced by both
this condition., and the local unions
have been discussing for some time the
of Consolidation. This
may result, altho there is opposition in
some quarters to this step. One thing
is certain, and that is that working
agreement by which the men may
in certain cases is a necessity.
