A PROBABLE COMPROMISE.

We have not great deal of sympa :
thy with the open saloon. 1t is bring
ing about its own downfall because of
its pernicious political activity, and
we are not sorry to see it 60 Neither
would we be sorry to see whiskey gem
orally abolished On the other hand,
to deny person the right to manu-
facture wines and cider and such
drinks for his own use seems to us to
be going it little strong.
We should not be surprised if event
ually some sort of a compromise would
be arranged, not only in the South
but throughout the country generally,
whereby the sale of wines, beers and
the other drinks lighter than whiskey
would be permitted through some me-
dium other than the saloonas hotels
cafes, restaurants, etc. We believe
that this would be practical solution
of the drinking question agreeable to
many people who are opposed 70 the
saloon on account of its political activ-
tiles, and who yet are not prepared to
take the position of debating what the
habits of their fellowmen shall be with
regard to diet. Don Marquis, in I'm

TOOK TWO GAMES
Second Team Defeats Pleasant
Grove and COppinger Cove.

The second team of this place went
to Pleasant Grove Saturday morning
and defeated the team of that place II
to 8. Fine pitching was done by E.
Barrett, and Houts excelled at the bat
Eight innings were played.
In the afternoon returning to Sequa-
chez, they defeated a strong team from
Coppinger Cove, 10 to 8. The finish of
the game was thoroughly exciting In
the last half of the eighth Sequachee
tied the score, 8 and 8, making two
runs to do SO. Barrett, by fine pitch
ing, struck out three of Coppinger
Cove's heaviest batters, although they
succeeded in getting men on bases.
In their turn at bat the first two men
up, E. Barrett and A. Anderson hit
safely, the latter being aided by Cur
tis' error. Houts famed, Barrett sac
rificed, advancing the runners to third
and second. With two out and two
strikes on the batter, Bennett had a
passed ball, and the winning run came
in, defeating Coppinger Cove 10 to 8.
1t was closely contested affair and
many sharp plays made Credit should
be given E. Barrett for pitching II
innings during the day, winning both
games.

NEARLY A THOUSAND MEN.
Pay Day at Lock and Dam
Turns Loose Much Money.

approximately nine hundred work
men and mechanics of different grades
were paid off by the Wilson Baillie
company at Hale's Bar, Saturday, the
pay roll aggregating between $t3, 900
and $i4, 600. The employees at work on
the Lock and Dam are paid off twice
each month and the task of giving out
the money to the men is a strenuous
one, an entire day being necessary to
complete the work of paying off. -
The force now employed at Hale's Bar
is larger than has ever been employed
at one time, since the beginning of the
work there. The number is almost
twice as large as the largest number of
men employed under the Oliver regime
at the Lock and Dam.
The work at the Lock and Dam for
the past two weeks has been entirely
satisfactory to those in charge of the
undertaking and appreciable progress
has been made during the time. Work
ON the Golfer dams has been pro-
crossing rapidly, while the excavation
for the foundation of the power-house
is also progressing nicely. --Chattanoo-

in unionism, you do not believe the

the end of that strike settlement was
made with the U. NJ. w. of A., and
the sub contract system was done
away with, and from that time until
the big strike of 1904 began, which
lasted for twentysix months, there was
very little work done by sub-contract.
In this strike the miners of Tracy
City, Whitwell and part of Alabama,
lost out, and since then these mines
have been worked as non-union mines
or open shop mines While they
have scale of prices fixed by the com
pany to work by, the miners have
nothing to say in making it, Tracy
City is not like great many other
mining towns in this district. The
miners here, as a general rule, have
lived here all their lives and the most
of them own their homes and great
number of them have very nice homes
and are well situated. These are the
kind of men that are working here to-
day, and it seems strange that those
men, knowing the conditions as they
do, and knowing what the miners or
ganization has done in the way of ad-
vancing prices and improving condit-
ions, | cannot understand why some Of
them have such little interest in the
organization. At the present time
there are more than one hundred men
here and the most of them own their
homes. They have families depending
on them for support. They are victim
lied, and none of them are allowed to
work. None of these men are guilty
of crime under the law of our state
They have worked here for years and
have given satisfaction as working
men, and there is no good reason why
they cannot do the same now. Their
families are looking to them for sup
port, the same as they have in the
past. The only crime they are guilty
of, if it be a crime at all, is that they

Knoxville Independent:
If you have space, / would like to
give the readers of your paper little
information in regard to the situation
at Tracy City. at the present time,
and what it has been in the past
Tracy City is one among the oldest
mining towns in Tennessee, having
been operated by the Tennessee Coal,
Iron & Railroad Comapny for some
thing like forty years. At this time
the mines are leased by the Tennessee
Consolidated Company. For many
years these mines were worked as nom
union mines. In those days we had no
organization in this district. Later
on, like many other mines, they were
organized under the Knights of Labor.
and later, in 1893, | believe, they Or
ganized under the United Mine Work
ersSof America. For many years, and
during the time when they had no or
ganization, there was introduced what
is called the sub-contract system, and
it came to point where the sub-con-
tracts were only..in the hands of few
men. At that time the coal was paid
for by the car, the same as it is now.
But they only received 81 and 25 cents
per car. The cars are opposed to hold
two thirds of ton, or three cars for
two tons Such a thipk.2s q. pair of
