ANNlh AAWoy Vttu iAlus
 Nashville, Dec. 19.-Mrs. Thompson of Hope was at Nash vile recently trying to locate a man named Tom Lowery, whom she alleges left Hope in August, 1900, with her son, who was at that time 8 years of age, and whom she has not seen or heard from since. Mrs. Thompson re ceived information recently that Lowrey was residing at Mineral Springs, and went to Nashville for the purpose of instituting legal proceedings for the custody of her child, but inquiries made among the citizens of Mineral Springs elicited the information that no such man is known there.
 Mrs. Thompson states that in 1906 she was employed at the Barlow hotel at Hope and had three children to support. Low rey suggested that she allow him to take the boy to his home for company for his wife, to which she consented, but that be soon left the city, taking the child with him, and that she has been unable since to locate him.

THE DEGREE SIGNED.
Order Restraining American Fedora ton of Labor From Boycott
 ing Is Now In Force.

Washington, Dec. 19.-After hearing arguments on various points in this case, Justice Ashley M. Gould, Wed nesday signed the decree temporarily restraining and enjoining the Ameri can Federation of Labor, It's officers and all others from interfering witt the business of the Buck Stove and Range company, and from declaring and threatening any boycott against 1t All attempts of counsel for the Ameri can Federation of Labor to modify the decree failed except in one particular and that was to exclude from the order the Electrotype Moulders' and Finishers' Union No 17, against which 1t was shown no specific allegation had been made.
 Justice Gould took occasion to dwell upon the question of jurisdiction. He said there would be no attempt made by the court to assume jurisdiction beyond the confines of the District of Columbia, but that an order was oper. ative until the persons defendant who are within the District of Columbia. An act, he said, committed by an agent or association of one of the defend. ants outside of the District of Colum' bia, could be held as the act of the person within the District of Colum. bia so ordering 1t and subject such person to the punitive power of the court He believed the decree should be very broad and that he need not be too specific.
 There was, he said. no likelihood of the order being misunderstood because he was not enjoining ignorant men, but men who knew their rights and he knew the law. Mir. Gompers, he said, was one of these.

COTTON BELT LETS
 OUT 325 MEN
Following a Visit of General Manager Brittor to Pine Bluff Employees Suddenly Dismissed-Thou-
 sand Out in a Week.

Pine Bluff, Dec. 17.-Follow.
 ing a sudden visit of General
 Manager F. H. Britton of the Cotton Belt to this city Sunday afternoon, an order was issued yesterday by Master Mechanic T. E. Adams at the local Cotton Belt shops, discharglug l25 men from various departments there. Their release was effective yester- day and time checks were issued to the men today. A similar CT. der, letting out 200 road men, mostly laboring crews, was issued by Superintendent E. A. Peck and affects employees over the entire division of the Cotton Belt system. from Texarkana sto St. Louis. A week or so ago similar order was issued by Superintendent Peck, discharg- ing IS crews of 40 men each, or total of 720 men. These men were employed in extra gangs and at other road work over the sys- tenn. None of.the recent orders discharging employees affect skilled mechanics.
 General Manager Biitton went into Texas Sunday night and it is understood that similar orders will follow his visit there. It IS stated that the Cotton Belt in- tends to.cut down it's payroll over the entire system in the sum of $60, ,000. This action is taken annually, at this season of the year, by all the railroads in the Southwest especially, that they may be enabled to make a fine financial showing on the first of each succeeding year. The Cot ton Belt added several hundred men to the local shops and over the system several months ago and the recent orders, discharg- ing some of them will have little or no effect in local commercial circles.
 1t was announced several days ago at the St. Louis headquarters of the various Southwestern roads that 1t was the intention of the management of the various lines to release 11,000 men throughout the Southwest, the orders affecting all the little branch lines and main line roads. |
