MACHINISTS MAY STRIKE.
Great Northern Employees May Tie
Up Entire System.

ST. PAUL, August IA strike 10
imminent on the Great Northern rail-
road which, il it comes, may tie up
traffic on the Hill line. Complications
have arisen between the machinists
and executive officials which bid fair
to develop into q serious rupture.
Committees representing the Broth
erhood of Machinists on the Great
Northern have been meeting at the
Foley hotel in this city, nearly six
weeks. Repeated conferences have
been held between the committeeman
and the car service officials, but thus
far no settlement has been reached.
The machinists say II their demands
are not granted at once, they will
walk out. They have been meeting
for many weeks now and they demand
an immediate settlement.
The m%achinists demand a small
raise in wages, ranging from 10 to Is
per cent and union shop conditions.
They have made demands at various
times during the last seven years and
have been granted concessions near
ly every year. They wish principally
q recognition of their union, and
closed shop conditions. There are
from 1000 to 5000 machinists along
the line, and q walkout would disable
the whole road.
This difficulty is the last of q long
line OF troubles that have come up be.
tween the Great Northern employees
and their employers. Other roads
have all been having the same com.
plications. During the year differ
ences have been settled up between the
conductors, switchmen, ear tenders,
car men and engineers.

WATER TRANSPORTATION.

In view of the apparent inability OF
the railroads to furnish the transpor-
tation demanded by the growth OF
American industries, the use of nat.
ural waterways and the construction
OF canals is being urged by the Ma.
tional Rivers and Harbors ongress
and similar organic atoms. The i'm.
portance of the matter is indicated in
news OF a great canal project, which
appears in a Cleveland, o., dispatch
to this effect;
lit is announced that the W
for the proposed canal from Lake
Erie to the Ohio river have been com.
pleted. Active digging on the water
way will begin early next spring.
When the big undertaking is COM
pleted it will be possible for lake
vessels to carry iron ore direct from
Lake Superior to furnaces in the Pitts.
burg district. 1t will require six
years to complete the task and an ex.

Resolutions Adopted
Last Friday by the Farm ers' Union in Session at
 Cypress Creek.

Resolved that it is the sense of this county convention, composed of delegates from 19 local unions assembled at Cypress Creek school house in Nevada county, Arkansas, this the 1st day of March, 1907, that the bill intro duced by Senator H. B. McKen- zie, entitled An act for the pro- tection of minority stockholders in manufacturing and other busi- ness corporations, would, if enacted into law, be a source of danger to Farmers Union cor porations in the state of Arkan- SaS.
 Therefore, we do heartily con- demn said act and do respectful ly ask the legislature of Arkansas to refuse to. pass said bill.
 Be it further resolved that a copy of the above resolution be furnished one each to Senator H. B. Kenzie, Representative John Whaley, Arkansas Union Tribune. Nevada County Pica- yune and to our state legislative committee now in session at Lit tie Rock.

fleets, they see only sour tem- per or an arrant egotism. Yet these same critics, though they are always idle, persuade them selves that they are too wise or too good to join hands cheerful ly and hopefully with their neigh bors for any good they can do. We are often told of Collins ram, who was agin the gatepost, and so butted himself away at 1t till nothing was left but his tail. Thus this persistent and ire pressible sheep became an ex- ample for the warning of future generations. But Collins had another sheep whose fate was no less instructive. It was the old bell weather who was so insulted when the bell was taken off that he left the flock, went off to sulk in the woods and was eaten up by the wolves.
 Christianity is not all peace and tenderness. The cry 70 gener- ation of vipers" was heard often from the lips of the Master. Great wrongs demand open de- nunciation and uncompromising resistance. The fellow who schemes for notoriety will sometimes gain a temporary elevation, but time tests all things, and only the man who has unselfshly served his fellows will be finally honored by them.
 The Town Talker sometimes writes poetry, and has furnished us this week with the following:
 ICARUS.
 There was hero of old,
 Icarus yecleped was he;
 And he scorned low things, so he
 made himself wings,
 For he a high-hyer would be. His wings they were made of wax,
 A very bad scheme you will say. For the heat of old Sol gave Icarus a
 fall,
 For they melted his wings all away. So down from the zenith he fell,
 Fell headlong into the sea,
 And was choked in its tide for his
 folly and pride,
 F. "a high flyer wold be.

The Town Talker.

The matter has called out thls from Cardinal Gebbons:
 Never admit into your homes any newspaper or periodical which ventilates obscene news and licente ous scandals. ;"
 Several secular papers have refused to publish the reports of the Thaw trial.
 A great many people who would recoil from personal asso- citation with people who are known to be lewd and debauch- ed. make these same people their associates even in their very acts ef debauchery by occupying their thoughts with their vile manner of life.
 Recently there was a marriage at the Pine Bluff skating rink. An Episcopal preacher had been engaged to pronounce the cere- mony. A day before the marriage Father Lucy, the Catholic pastor of St. Joseph's church, Pine Bluff, sent to the Graphic a de- liverance setting forth the effect which must follow from such degradation of the sacredness and solemnity of marriage. The Episcopal rector found he had another engagement and could not marry the couple. Rev. l.. Y. Ramsey, Methodist pastor of first church, was solicited to take the place. He first consented, and afterward declined. The hour of marriage arrived. Two thousand people came to see the performance. The rink manage ment made it a drawing card. No preacher at the last could be found to be a party to so shame full performance, and justice had so be called. The parties sought notoriety. They attain ed it.
 Of the 52 senators whe favor ed retaining Reed Shoot in the Senate, all are republicans but five.
 Alabama, Arkansas, Mississip- pi, North Carolina, South Caroli- na, Tennessee, Texas, Georgia and Florida were solid for the eX- pulsion of Shoot.
 It looks as if the republicans were courting Mormon influence in view of future elections.
 Rev. James Thomas addressed the young men at the Methodist church last Sunday evening. He made a strong arraignment of the men of Arkansas for profani- ty and vulgar speech. He refer Fed especially to the speech which pne hears in the smoking cars. We'll, we have never found to- bacco chewers and smokers a very decent set in any country. May be we have an unusual pro- portion of this class in Arkansas.
