North Andover. Mass. March 2S-
Eighty-five weavers in the employ of NJ
T. Stevens Sons Company went out or
strike late, today when the firm re-
fused TO grant all their demands for an
advance in wages and change in condi-
tons. The looms were silent pending the
result of visit to the management by
a committee of three from the weavers.
The weavers demanded a less number of
shuttles on two loom work. one loom on
certain qualities and an advance in wages
on all two loom work.
The firm agreed to increase wages on
but one quality of fabric but insisted
that two looms must be operated on all
qualities.
When this decision was announced the
striking weavers refused to return to
work. None of the other departments of
the plant have yet been affected by the
action of the weavers. a second confer
ence with the mana cement is to he had

from an American Journal, and the won
der is that the Englishman ever saw tht
joke:
"A duel was fought in Texas recently
by Alexander :'hott and John S. Mott
Mott was shot and Shott was not Ir
this case it was better to be Shot thar
Mott.
"There was rumor that Mott wa;
not shot. but Shott avows that he sllo
Mott, which proves either that the shot
shot at Mott was not shot or that Mott
was shot Notwithstanding. Circumstan-
tial evidence is not always good.
1T may be made to appear on the tria
that the shot Sbott shot shot at Mott, OF
as accidents with firearms are frequent it
may be possible that the shot Shot shot
shot Shott, when the whole affair would
resolve itself into its original elements
and Shott would be shot and Mott would
be not

Shott shot shot not Shott but Mott

GOOD ROADS CONVENTION
THREE SESSIONS HELD IN ONE
DAY AND NIGHT.
| he Permanent Organization and Re-
concentrations for the Creation of
State and Parochial Supervisors.

The Good Roads Convention, held II
the court house Monday, was limited IN
attendance The convention had beer
we'll advertised and it was hoped there
would have been a large gathering, but
the result was disappointing. 1t would
seem as if the people, especially in the
country, have become wearied over
meetings and conventions, and doubtless
have about reached their own conclu-
sions without the advice of eloquent ora
tors and resolutions. And, as the day
was pleasant and an ideal one for plow-
ing and planting, the farmers and plant
ers, already late in their work, did not
feel inclined to kate the fields for a
jaunt to the convention. However, what
there was lacking in numbers was offset
by speakers in we'll prepared addresses,
and in resolutions.
The morning session was called to
order by Hon. E. E. Harkey, chairman
of the Good Roads Committee of Cadio
parish Then followed an earnest and
soulful invocation by Rev. c. L. Jones
of the Christian church.
The address of welcome was by Hon.
Andrew Querbes, mayor Of Shreveport,
in we'll chosen and pleasing words, while
Hon. Richard Furnan, president of the
Police Jury of Caddo parish, greeted the
visitors in neat, concise and we'll con-
sidered address, which elected unbound
ed applause. The response was by Col.
w. H. Moore, president of the National
Good Roads Association, during which
he advised the issuance of bonds for
good roads, the cost of which he estimat-
ed at 100000.
Hon. J. NJ Foster, district attorney
advocated and pointed out the necessity
of good roads.
