GENERAL COUNCIL OUT OF

HE IS DECLARED SUSPENDED
Local Unions Vote to Continue the
Fight and Declare Snlall's
Office Vacant

New York, Oct. 13.-President s. J.
Small appeared confident today that
the strike was at an end and hope
full that his men would be re-instated.
The strike will be called of tomor-
row, and the men will be back to
work" he said.
viii you give a word of advice
to the men as to whether they should
vote to call it of and seek re-instate-
ment?" he was asked.
Il will cover that point at he meet
ing today with the men In New
York" he replied.
The object in sending out my
statement to the men yesterday was
to put the question right up to them.
Our resources are exhausted, and if
they want to continue the. fight they
will have to furnish the funds.
What if the locals decline to call
it OFF," he was asked.
Well, there will be nothing to do
but keep up the fight as long as they
can, but it will be up to them to pro-
vide funds. Tie strike was irregular
from the beginning"
Strike Hopeless.
Then the strike is hopeless and it
might as we'll be abandoned?"
That is it," replied Mr.. Small.

WHITE MEN ARE WANTED FOR
THE r. r MAIL SERVICE
but FEW MAKE APPLICATION
More Negroes Are Being Received
Than Are Wanted

Washington. Oct. 14.-Owing 10
the fact that white men In the South
show no great interest In standing
civil service examinations for the raia-
way mail service, the postof,ee de-
partment is in a quandary. A fe~
weeks ago examinations were held In
various parts of the South for clerk
ships In the railway mail service, but
eight out of ten of those who stood
them were negroes. In one Southern
city, officials of the pOstof6ce depart
ment declare. every man appeared 10
be examined was a negro. The name
of the city Is not given. Many OF
the negroes. it is understood, passed
successfully and now the department
does not know what to do about It.
The negroes are not wanted, but how
TO get rid of them is a puzzle. Rail
way mail clerks are needed

accident Tuesday afternoon last by
which he lost his left hand. the result
OF a charge of No. seven shot taking

neighbOr's house and carried the gun
along As he neared his destination
and while on the treotle on the Blue
Creek extension OF the L. o. 2. & G.,
his gun slipped from his shoulder and
fell, and II is supposed the hammer
came in contact with a tie; AT any
rate the gun was discharged and the
load went in the hand except a few
scattering shot which lodged in the
shoulder. He called to 4 negro who
WAS near assisted him 20 the home Of
Mr. Whitfield who in turn carried
him back TO his home. Or. Jones was

1T Is GETTING SERIOUS.
SO Few Southern Whites Seek Civil
Service Positions

Washington, Oct. I2.-That SO few
white men in the South are seeking
civil service positions is now n matter
of deep concern to the officials of the
Postoff1ce Department A recent ex-
animation for positions in the rail-
way mail service was held in various
points in the South, and seven-eighths
of the applicants were negroes.
The Postofice Department officials
are perplexed- They say that tho
reason white men are not taking the
examinations is that SO many negroes
are serving in the railway mail SER
vice. In one Southern city all of the
applicants were negroes. Postofice
officials declined to give the name of
this city.
They look upon the whole situation
as grave, and 1t is very evident that
this particular examination Is looked
upon with considerable concern, so
much SO that they are extremely eau
tons about talking on the subject.
