STRIKE MAY BE AvERTEp
Prospects of Amicable Settlement Be.
tween Freight Handlers and TAIL
road Companies.

Chicago, September 13.-The rela
tons between the railroad companies
and the union freight handlers, who
are demanding an increase of 10 per-
cent. IN wages, assumed a con-
ciliatory aspect today and the indica-
tons tonight are that the threatened
Strike of the six thousand freight
handlers will be averted. Although
refusing to treat directly with the
Freight Handlers union, the railroads
have agreed to meet the employees
tomorrow as individuals. Tonight
both sides to the controversy seem
anxious to avoid a strike and 1t is
the belief of all concerned that an am
icable settlement of the difficulty will
be reached within a short time.

FIGHT ON CLOSED SHOPS.
Movement Takes Root Which Will Final

tBy Edwin S. Potter

(By Edwin >. POtter)
Looking at the sum total of the
years economic activity from the
standpoint of the laborer and the
mechanic, we see the rapid develop
ment of a new force directed against
the very Gibraltar of unionism as 1t
stands today, especially in America.
1t is the full fledged federation of
the principal employing interests of
our country, a movement which had
It's beginning in the preceding year,
its nuculeus being the Citizens In-
dustrial Alliance, headed by ID. M.
Parry. Through this national or
ganization nearly every industry in
the country has lined up on the al
timatum for the open shop, a de-
mand squarely. reinforced in the
post-electlon message of President
Roosevelt. In the face of all this
the unions in detail and the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor for the ma
jority have contested every inch of
the way for their right and purpose
to refuse to work with non union
men.
In this clash of forces the years
record shows gain for the open shop,
notably with the garment workers,
harvester trust, lake pilots, type
found srs, moulders, iron and tin
plate. workers, sheet-metal workers,
butchers and helpers, boiler makers
and IN many minor contests-gener-
ally as the result of strike in which
wage reductions also figured. The
open shop may be said to be the i'm
mediate outcome of the conflict be-
tween the Miners Federation and
Gov. Peabody, of Colorado, whose
soldiers aided in crushing the strike
by arbitrary arrests and deportatious,
especially after the murderous dy-

ests, was distasteful to labor.

Tn looks to man up tree as
iifsthe Southern planters ought
no be restrained from destroying
their cotton by fire for the de-
-clared purpose of advancing its
price. We believe it is unlawful
for a man to burn his own house
and other specified property, aud
do met believe the willfuI de-
struction of cotton or any valu-
able product is right. If 1t were
valuable as fuel and its burning
served any end except the
savowed purpose to bull the price
of the product it would be a diff
tieEeat story. If there has been
soverproduction it should be
rernedied by a short crop next
season and not by destruction of
the crop in hand. IL seems reas-
enable TO think that it were
easier to hold and store the pres
ent crop than to cultivate
another. Secretary Wilson, of
the Agricultural Department,
thinks there will not be much
cotton burned and says it would
De necessary for the planters
tie burn at least 100000
ioaies,7' in order to raise the
market price. He says further
that poor cotton is worth $40 a
bale which would make the cost
of an effective cotton bonfire
eighty millions of dollars.

MEW YEARS GREE7ING.


THE BEE begins its sixteenth
year with this issue and will en-
deavor to show during 1905 a de-
gree Of life and vigor common
surate with a strong and lively
youth. The BEE is published in the
busiest Industrial center in Wes-
tern kentucky, in the center of
tine great coal mining field of Hop
Eins county, which produces an
nually more than one and three
quarter millions of tons of coal,
with an annual payroll of one
million dollars to labor.
darlington is an important
railroad town also and the an
nual payroll of railroad employees
here is over 100000. Hopkins
county is one of the chief coun-
ties in the dark tobacco district
of Kentucky and has been grad
ually improving for some years
IN agriculture and stock raising.
Prosperity is upon the people
and there is business doing. The
schools and churches are broad
enlng their lines and new life is
being Put into organized effort
for the moral and intellectual
growth of the people. At such
times when the extreme political
partisan and demagogue is in
active the people of Hopkins
county dwell together as neigh
bors and brothers and factional
and class lines are to a greater
degree effaced by a general eff
fort all along the line for the
betterment of the people at large.
In entering upon the Newly ear
The BEE pledges its best efforts
for the upbuilding of its town
and county and its most earnest
work toward producing a weekly
newspaper as far as possible bet
ter and more worthy Of public
patronage than in its past fifteen
years of constant endeayor. AL
WAYS the effort has been to pro-
sluce paper just a little better
than was justified by the patron
age given. This policy, we be-
aieve, has been appreciated both
by our readers and our advertis-
ers and for the coming year this
effort will be redoubled.
We look backyard upon the
year 1904 with pleasure, and for
ward to 1905 with confidence and
hope for the peace and prosperi-
ty of Darlington and Hopkins
county.
