A Special Cotton Train.
surance.

A special train loaded with cotton
was sent out over the Southern Rail-
way Friday. The special was made
up of eighteen or twenty fats and
carried about 1000 bales. The ship
ment was made by several OF the local
buvers who are finding it increasingly
dilucult each day to obtain prompt
shipment of the cotton they buy. The
railroads haven't sufficient cars to
move the cotton, and for that reason
are resortine to the use Of fat cars.
On each fat sent out on the special
yesterday there was placed a barrel
of water and sufficient number of
bands were sent with the train to
guard the cotton against ignition by
sparks. Another precaution that was
adopted was to place the engine at the
rear Of the train.
There is All immense accumulation
of cotton at the depots and on the
weigher's platform and each day the
congestion grows greater for the re-
ceipts are up in the hundreds daily.

Fire Saturday Night.

About 1880 Saturday night FIRE
alarm was sent in, which was very
quickly responded to by both the reel

the car, and the FIRE extinguished.
Zen bales were damaged by fire and
water to the amount of $500 which

II added: Upon conviction, one half

A BAD NATTER HsADE WORSE

tFrom the Portiant Ore )4ia;l.;
Il is likely that The reacNal OF the
p;.cking-honse strike is something t!He
tG the indefntness OF the agreement
trtder which tie men returned u
work. II will ba remembered that The
original account Of the terms regard
was very unSatisfact0ry. The strikers
were TO be taken back. but nothing
was said about whether the nOnunion
men were TO lie. laid off. This WAS
evidently the crucial point OF the set

ton in the reports given oui easily

interpretations Of the agreement II
ought to have. been made plain by
Donnelly and the packers just what
the packers We're to do regarding the
nlaces held by the strikebreakers. Ii
the terms had been Thoroughly uii-
derstood and explained. the agree
ment might have been frustrated, but
at least this renewed outbreak might
have been avoided.
As a matter of common justice the
hackers should retain the nOnunion
men they have hired and should give
the unions to understand that plain

strikers-how about bad faith with
the striEebreakers? If there is any
honor or fidelity in these great cor
rorations at ALL it is time to show it
when men who have deliberately
thrown up their jobs come back and
| demand the discharge of those who
have braved contumely and violence
and travelled from distance to come
Ia the packers aid in time OF need.
It seems that the question OF open
o" closed shop has never been raised
in the packing houses, union and non
union labor working amicablv side by
side If this is true. tho packers
should have been able to show Mr..
Donuelly the impossibility of taking
all the strikers back at once and to
arrange a satisfactory programme OF
era,l,al reinstatement of the strikers

week.. as they were abiC to place
them.
