SAYS HIS ROAD is A GO.
G. II. Fiske Talks About His
Short Line to Nashville.

C. H. Fiske, of Detroit promoter of
the Nashville & Chattanooga Short
Line railroad, is in the city. This
proposed road, it will be remembered,
connects the two points mentioned,
and will run parallel with the Nash
vile, Chattanooga & st. Louis road,
Col. Fiske has been very i'll for some
time, and has not been able to give
his time to the project, but he is now
thoroughly recovered, and is engaged
in working ont its details. All litiga-
tion involving rights of way has been
disposed of, and the line is now clear.
In speaking of the plans of the com
pany, the promoter said:
Il am in the city engaged in some
important matters concerning the de
velopment of the line, and just at pres
ent | have very little to give out.
can say, however, that | see nothing
in the way to prevent the ultimate
completion of the line. | will be able,
possibly, before leave the city, to say
something that the public might be
interested in +"
He is accompanied by Mrs. Fiske,
and they will be in the city about ter
days. s.-Chattanooga Times.

TEMPORARY
SHUTDOWN
Reasons Assigned is Too Great
Accumulation OF Coal and
Short Orders. .-lmprOv-
mentS Being Made.

WHITWELL Tenn, Feb I THE
mines here shut down yesterday to al
low orders to come i'll enough to war
rant operating. A large number of
railroad cars are standing here and at
Victoria loaded with run of mine coal
for which there i, no orders. A much
better grade of coal will be mined
hereafter as "solid" boss has been
put on, and hereafter the coal will not
be broken up so badly in mining
which has caused much complaint. 1t
is said by some that the inferior quail
ty of the coal caused the shortage of
orders. However, it is expected there
will be no further trouble in this line,
as greater attention is being paid by
Superintendent Meagher to getting ont
a superior quality of coal He is work
ng exclusively for the interests of the
United Steel Corporation, which now
controls the mines, and by producing
a good quality of output, he cannot do
his duty better. Old experienced min
ers are being put on, as fast as posi-
Bile, many of them being old union
miners who formerly worked here, as
the union here has never made prop
osition to the United States Steel Cor
poration regarding the signing of a
wage scale. The strike was called
against the L. G.. /. q r. r. Co.
which at present is among the corpora
tions of the dead past, having been
forced to sell out at the commencement
of the recent panic.
1t is expected the mines will start
up again Thursday or Friday, so it is
reported. In the interim various i'm
provements which could not be made
without a shutdown, are being push
ed, including some blasting, the prox-
unity to which of the cables conveying
electricity to the mines, demanded that
it be done only when power was shut
off, otherwise there would be damage
to the system by burno outs at the sub
stations.

TROUBLE AT
TRACY CITY
Number of Miners Quit Work
Because Some Union Men
Are Discharged.

There is trouble once more in Tracy
City, and the question whether a man,
a resident in our alleged free country,
should belong to a union and yet have
work, is once more alive.
Friday of last week eight or ten men
were discharged by e. l.. Hampton,
president of the Consolidated Coal
Company of Tracy, because they were
either attempting to organize a union,
or were affiliated with the mine work
ers' organization and Tuesday about
one hundred and fifty men quit work
because the company had refused to
reinstate the men.
As far as we know, there had been
no effort to treat with the company
about contract but the men had sim
ply desired to keep up their organiza-
ton, to which they had perfect
right This movement was nothing
new as the union at Tracy City, like
the union at Whitwell, has not been
stamped out and never will be as long
as corporations maintain domineering
tactics
Mr. Hampton's reply to the Cbatta-
nooga Times, is quite amusing and his
statement of 1000 miners getting ou
1900 tons coal, is not very wonderful
output. Below we give his statement
as the result Of telephone call from
the Times:
IAN abortive attempt was made Fri
day to renew the striking conditions
as they were two years ago. The old
ringleaders got busy recently and tried
to create discord among the men and
when they were identified they were
promptly discharged As result of
this, forty eight miners left their work
this morning and went out on what
they called strike. That this has
been failure is shown by the fact
that we had one thousand miners at
work today The records show that
today, Notwithstanding this so-called
strike, 1, 500 tons of coal were taken
out Of our mines, which is the normal
output The officers of this company
are not troubled by the situation.
Chattanooga manufacturers who are
anxiously waiting for power generated
at the Hale's Bar plant. are disgusted
at the action of Brady in refusing the
appraisement, as it was his own
scheme that such an appraisement
should be made. In fact the figures
made were considered low by one of
the commissioners, while another made
a much lower figure. Hence the one
refused by Brady is the estimate of the
third commissioner, and is between
the two. The aforesaid business men
think he should not have asked fol
such an appraisement, if he was not
going to take it.
