The freight crews out of this
city have been complaining for
some time because they have not
been getting in enough tiLle to
make good money and have ask
ed officials to pull off some of the
crews so that those remaining
would be able to make more mile
age and increased pay. The Of
ficials have refused to do this, argu-
ing that they want to keep all the
men at work possible, even if they
have to shorten up their pay a
little by not giving them SO much
mileage. The fruit season will be
opened in a few days and then
everyone will be hustling for fair.

James H. Short was up from
Knob Lick yesterday. He tells
us that the Small granite quarry
in the Flatwoods near Knob Lick
is running full blast. Two new
cutters were added to the force
of about 20 men this week and all
the men given a raise from 2 IA
to 2 IL cents a block. The crush
er plant was also started this
week and a force of about 40 or so
men is now regularly employed
by the company. Mr.. Short also
tells us that the Allen crusher in
Knob Lick has been started and
employment given to a number of
men there. He says the outlook
for brisk business in the granite
district this summer is very good.
