bless your soul, he is out on the farm
hopping clods sixteen hours day. He
will come to town after a while to run

PEOPLE OPPOSE
STRIKE IN RUSSIA
THE GENERAL OPINION SEEMS
TO BE THAT A CHANCE
SHOULD BE GIVEN TO
THE NEW PROGRAMME.

ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 10
While the new general strike con.
tinues in effect to-day. the govern.
ment does not think 1t will continue
long. 1t Is becoming bitterly cold and
the strikers are not provided with
funds to allow them to remain idle for
any great length Of time. A large
percentage of the strikers them
selves while they obeyed the order to
leave their work, are not In favor of
prolonging the strike, and 1t Is not
supported by public opinion general.
ly.
1t is expected that conference will
be held at Tsarkoe-Selo to-day by
the Cars advisers when the course
to be pursued by the government
will be fully outlined.
The people generally are now de.
handing that the government shall
be given an opportunity to put It on
the new liberal programme and they
oppose the strike because it was
called without giving the government
the chance to show what 1t really pro-
posed to do.
No news has reached here this
morning that the strike has assumed
serious proportions at any point in
the provinces and great hopes are
entertained that the movement will
not spread beyond st. Petersburg.
AT noon to-day 1t was estimated
that the number of men out on strike
in the city was between $4,000 and
100000 notwithstanding the fact that
so many men are idle the city has
been quiet. Patrols OF troops and
Cossacks are on duty everywhere
but as yet there has been no need for
their services to quell disorders. The
strikers are preserving the very best
Of order and apparently intend to re-
main as passive as they were during
the recent strike which forced the
Car to promulgate his proclamation
of the constitution. In the provinces,
SO far as can be learned. order is be.
ing maintained.

WAR IlNPENDS IN

ARBITRATION BOARD AND
RELATIONS WITH EN-.
FLOWERS ARE
STRAINED.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1G-Trouble OF
serious nature between men and
employees in the building trades is
not far Off. IL the predictions of lead.
trx on both sides amount to anything.
There are strong indications that not
later than next spring, and perhaps
long before then, the building indus.
try In New York will be involved in a
anrse fight than of 1903.
Many prominent builders are dis.
ecuraged over the outlook and do
mt hesitate to express their belief
that stubborn war is inevitable.
The difficulty arises from the refusal
~ the unions to accept and abide by
decisions of the Arbitration Board.
This Board is composed of an equal
number of union men and employers,
hut employers declare that the un-
ions openly refuse to be bound by its
decisions, IL the decision is not to
their liking, and that relations have
become so strained on account of this

pears that Mr.. Taffinder was on a

where, and from whom The News

ed the trip.
The time for the protracted
meeting at Gilleland has not
been fully decided upon, but it
is thought that it will not begin
until bout the last of August
or first of September. 1t will
be held at the old school house.
Work on the new Methodist
church that is to be will not
begin for several weeks yet as
everybody in that section of the
county is way behind" with
their crops.
While there Sunday, our
physical wants were amply
provided for at the hospitable
home Of sister j. H. Whitworth.
They did not get much of that
Thursday evening rain at Gille-
land and good wetting would
be very acceptable to them,
still, they are not suffering for
want of it.
Our old friend, Jerome Baird,
insisted that we should visit his
burr patch again, but as it look
ed much like rain we had to
forbear this pleasure-he says
it's much broader, longer and
better every way than it was
last season, and we are fully
satisfied that he tells the whole
truth about it.
The small grain crops visible
along the route promise good
yield. If the stand was as good
as the heads, the output for the
acreage sown would be immense.
All other crops are backward
and sorely in the weeds. Grass
is just as fine as it could be and
all manner of flesh that feeds
thereon is doing nicely.
The News man likes the folks
and country down that way and
is anxious to get correspond
