AVERTS STRIKE AT EVERETT.
Prevented Trouble Among the Single
Weavers.

EVERETT, May 7.-According to the
statement made by one of the mem
bers of the ShingIe Weavers' union.
who is employed in one of the mills
that is running regardless of the In
terstate Red Cedar Shingle associa-
ton, the union as a whole would prob
ably have voted to comply with the re-
quest of the five employers who asked
for a strike had it not been for the
presence of President Blackman of the
state federation. The story told by
single weaver is as follows:
The union had been informed that
some of the manufacturers who had
complied with the interstate associa-
tion's recommendations to close down
would appear at the next meeting with
request that a strike be declared in
all mills that had not complied with the
recommendation. Acting on this tip,
word was sent to President Blackman,
and on the night of the meeting he was
present, all unbeknown to the manu-
tacturers who urged a strike After the
proposition had been explained to the
union, the manufacturers retired, and
a general discussion followed 1t is as

BIackman Takes a Hand.

In the request for a strike they saw,
so the story goes, not only a chance to
reap alleged benefits proposed by the
petitioners, but also an opportunity to
place the more fortunate weaver on an
equal footing with themselves.
But President Blackman had some
thing to say. He pointed out the disad-
vantages that would follow, together
was pleased, however, at the request
having been made, as it put the en-
ployers just where he wanted them.
They had placed themselves in the po-
siton of supplicants at the feet of the
single weavers. 1t is alleged that the
proposition was turned down through
the instrumentality of Mr.. Blackman.
Single Weavers who would have
been thrown out of employment had
the proposition carried say that had
the petitioners been successful in their
efforts and a strike declared, they
would have Withdrawn from the union.
They say that the mills are paying the
union scale, that the weavers have no
grievance against them, and that they
would not have walked out even though
a strike had been declared It is re-
ported that the petitioners promised
the complete uniOniZing of their mills
if the union would only comply with
their request

Walked Down the Pike

The opinion has been expressed
oy several, and perhaps entertained
by many. that Highland county
had furnished greater percentage
of visitors to the exposition than
many other counties, in proportion
to population. With view to as
certaining, we set on foot a plan
to secure the names of all who had
attended the fair, but owing to tar
day cooperation, we have not been
able to get such data as to warrant
completeness. The Information at
hand, however, is sufficient to af-
ford a close approximation, and we
feel justified in the conclusion that
at least sixty-fye Highland people
have visited St. Louis since the ex-
position opened. Of this number,
Monterey and vicinity sent about

to us. and the estimate for neigh
borhoods not heard from, may be
too conservative.

The Storm

The storm which prevailed on
Sunday and Monday last was one
of unusual severity for Novem Der,
and found many unprepared for
such extremes. During the early
morning hours of Sunday the rain
changed to snow ana continued
falling until past noon, and depth
of some four inches was reached.
Then followed a high wind and
falling mercury until many bad
drifts and a record of 20 above zero
resulted.
This being the first storm, a sud-
den one, and very severe, there was
hurrying and scurrying OF man
and beast in providing and seeking
shelter, feed, wood &c. If we need
ed reminder to prepare for winter,
it came to US in 10 uncertain terms.
Tuesday morning dawned bright
and beautiful, but Highland has
been brought face to face with
scenes and sounds with which she
grows very familiar between No.
vember and April, and foretastes
of the sports, ayocations and hard
ships of sn Appalachian winter
were not wanting.
A few misfortunes and some
cases of inconvenience have been
reported thus far. A large straw
sick. on Mr. L H Stephenson's farm
near Meadow Dale, was blown
down, and two horses that had
taken shelter were buried. One
of them got OFT, the other one re-
NAMED until found next morning,
and will probably die. Mr. 0. Will
son had fine JERSEY cow to get
tangled in her chain, fell into the
manager, and was found dead on
Tuesday morning.
The Monterey Barlow hack en-
countered drifts on Allegheny and
was unable to make the trip OIL
Monday.
