CADILLAC SQUARE

Fruit dealers, candymen, butchers

There will be no short-changing, no

The lawyers who presented a petit.

R ALE WAYS STILL
FIGHTING WITH
q SNOWDR|FTs
STORMS SWEEP BY. BUT HEAP
OF TROUBLE STILL REMAINS
SUNSHINE FOR THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY.

Unto US sunshine is given for to-
day and probably for Friday, and light
winds 30 that we may dig our way
out Of the drifts that came with that
blustery. whirling. nipping storm from
the northwest Tuesday night and Wed
nesday.
IL was surely a big storm.
The railroads are still fighting away
With snow plows and double engines
to remove the drifts from the valleys
and cuts along their lines, and, even
with clear, still weather, IL will be q
day or two before all the branches
are open.
Light, dry and drifty, the snow
scudded along in light clouds and set
tied In heaps and windows all day
and all night. shifting like sand dunes.
Many Disguised resident of the by
streets tossed down his shovel in dis
gust this morning when he saw that
the elfish winds had undone all his
work In shoveling a clear way
through.
The railroads felt that way. only
more SO, and on Il bigger scale. As
always. the Thumb country was buried
most completely and communication
with the northern part OF the lower
peninsula was generally cut off FOR a
time.
Trains coming into Detroit were
snow-covered and late by hours.
Suburban electric cars were running
on any schedule they could make. and
even the city cars were away OF the
time-card.
There was 1914 inches OF snow in
"a hours from Tuesday evening until
Wednesday evening, when the storm
practically stopped. except for its es-
cort OF winds, which fingered a few
hours longer. This is not new rec
ord for snow fall in Detroit-but II Is
enough.
1t is estimated that $4,000 children
stayed away from school.
For the laborers out OF work, the
snowfall was godsend, and 1000 men
must have found employment shovel
ing snow during the day. with the
city gangs, with the railroads and
street car companies and with pri-
yate parties. The number may have
been many more than that estimate.
The storm of Wednesday has gone
to Halifax and the blue-nosed inhabi-
tants OF that capital are getting out
their shovels today. Another storm
is scudding along north of Lake SUI
perior, having kindly consented to
pass Michigan by. The heaviest snow
fall OF Wednesday in the country was
in southern Michigan and northern In
diana and Illinois.
Cloudy weather prevails east and
south OF us, and the people of Dixie

Pensacola. Fla. Jan., 11--(Special)-- Trouble between the Pensacola Elec- tric Company and the members of the Amalgamated Association of Street Railway Employees is anticipated dur ing the coming week, with a possibili- ty-of a strike. inasmuch as the com pany has refused to sign the agree ment presented by the committee, of the employees.
 The latter has made a demand for an increase of two cents per hour for the year 1908 over that of the past year, and this was refused by the man. ager. who stated that the present financial conditions prevented such an increase being granted. The employees theA offered to sign contract at the same pay as is now being received. provided the company would give the two cents per hour increase when con- ditions became more settled. This was a'sc rejected, and the members of the association immediately telegraphed to their international officers that the negotiations with the company for . contract for the ensuing year had been declared off.
 The present contract expires next Tuesday night, and 1t is anticipated that unless the matter Is adjusted the employees will leave the service of the company, as. they afe determined to get the demands they have requested, while the manager of the company ap- pears equally as determined not to accede to any demands, whatever.
 The system in Pensacola Is owned by the Stone and Wesbter Syndicate of Boston, which controls many of the street railways of the South. and the local management is conferring with the owners in the present negotia- tions.
