THOUGHT CLERKS WOULD
BOYCOTT RAILROAD

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 29.-The Ala
bama and Vicksburg, New Orleans and
Northeastern and Vicksburg, Shreve-
port and Pacific railroads, embraced in
the Queen and Crescent system, have
secured an Injunction against the
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks in this
state to prevent them interfering in
any way with these roads in transact
ing their business.
1t had been rumored around Il at
striking clerks were organizing boy
colt against the Queen and Crescent
and all it's branches, which have af-
fected the Alabama and Vicksburg,
New Orleans and Northeastern and
Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific, and
this action was taken to prevent the
proposed boycott.
The injunction was issued by Judge
N. c. Niles Tuesday afternoon, and
was Immediately placed in the hands
of United States Marshal F. w. Col
Inns for service. The order is a
lengthy one, covering the case in
every particular, and any attempted
interference by any person will be
regarded as a violation OF this order.
Many of the striking clerks are spe-
officially named in the order. They
are:
w. r. Draughn, S. S. Carothers, l..
Bell, Jackson; c. N. Smylie, B. Fl.

in any way in furtherance Of what is
termed conspiracy or combination
to restrain the complainants, their
officers or employees in the free dis
charge of their duties in transacting

GOOD NEWS

Many lame, weak and aching back

handed down by the department OF
Justice, in reply to a question from
the president of the board on that sub
ject.
AT the September meeting of the
board, when taxes for all other pur-
poses were levied, the supervisors
failed to make the special levy for
the school, and the president of the
board wrote the department of JUS
tice asking whether, to levy the tax
at subsequent meeting, would be le-
gal.
Assistant Attorney General Fox, in
handing down the opinion. holds that
it was the duty of the supervisors to
make the levy for the high school
and, in failing to do SO, failed to per-
form their duty, notwithstanding the
fact that the tax levy for other pur-
poses were made. He holds that, in
the opinion of General Fletcher in
1908, the school had not been estab-
lished, while in this case, The trustees
have established the school, and it
devolves upon the trustees to make
the levy.
The trustees of the sch Dol have the
right, under the law. to apply to the
courts and compel the supervisors to
make the levy, and what they can be
forced to do, they can do Of their
own volition, it is held.

INCREASED PAY
FOR CAR WORKERS
Southern Pacific Grants Higher Wages
In Every epartment.-Big
Strike Blows Over.

Houston, Tex, Sept. 29.-The
Southern Pacific officials and the
striking carmen signed an agreement
at IL o'clock Tuesday that puts an
end to further difficulty for at least
one year, and the men have expressed
themselves as highly gratified with
with the treatment received at the
hands of ]. J. Ryan, superintendent
of motive power. In every instance
increases were granted to the men.
The proposition submitted by the rail-
road company, and which was accept
ed by the men, embodies the follow
ing.
Increases were to be granted to the
various laborers on the following
basis:
Coach. carpenters, now receiving
less than SO cents per hour, an in
crease of l cent per hour.
Transfer inspectors, an increase of
cent per hour, making their pres
ent rate of pay 26 cents per hour for
II hours.
Freight car carpenters, car repair
ers, yard car repairers and inspectors,
oilers, truck hands, steel car repair
ers, woodworking machinists, air
brake repairers and painters, an in
crease of one-half cent per hour, re-
gardless of present wages.
The proposition, while not exactly
in accordance with the original de-
mands, is eminently satisfactory in
view of the fact that the strike was
primarily for the purpose of securing
recognition for their union. This was
matter that caused but little diff
Guilty and the new arrangement sign
ed by the company embodies a recog-
milton. by the car men, Of the old
shop rules, with a clause added which
permits the car men, when one mem
ber claims to have a grievance, ap-
point a committee of two to take the
matter up with the head of the motive
power department.
Monday afternoon Superintendent
Ryan stated that he had a proposition
to submit to the men in writing. The
committee met for the purpose of
holding a conference, but instead of
the conference Superintendent Ryan
presented his written proposition.
Owing to the fact that Mr.. Ryan was
very busy he stated that he would
prefer to suspend discussion of this
letter until it had been digested by
the committe. They adjourned until
Tuesday morning at 1O:30, when the
committee composed of Messrs.
Pearce. Massey, Harris, Cochran,
Wells and Yerkes, representing the
Houston shop employees, met Mr..
Ryan and the proposition was ac-
cepted and the agreement signed.

PUZZLED
Hard Work, Sometimes, to Raise
Children

Childrens taste is oftimes more ac-
curate, in selecting the right kind OF
food to fit the body, than that of
adults. Nature works more accurately
through the children.
"A Brooklyn lady says: Our little
boy had long been troubled with weak
digestion. We could never persuade
him to take more than one taste of
any kind of cereal food. He was a
weak little chap and we were puzzled
to know what to feed him on.
B zone lucky day we tried Grape
Nuts. Well, you never saw a child
eat with such relish, and it did me
good to see him. From that day on
It seemed as though we could almost
see him grow. He would eat Grape
Nuts for breakfast and supper, and |
think he would have liked the food
for dinner.
s'The difference in his appearance
Is something wonderful.
"My husband had never fancied ce-
real foods of any kind, but he became
very fond Of Grape-Nuts and has been
much improved in health since using
it.

paturally believe in Grape-Nuts.

SSEsSORS BOARD
uetion n Personal Values, AS
hown BY Assessment Rolls, is
Responsible For It.

ackson, Miss, Sept. 29.-The reduc.
IN personal values. as shown by
rolls of the counties received to
<e BY the State Auditor, has revived
- Of a state board of assessors, sim
to Texas, Louisiana and other
tes, and many of the political lead
nave come to the conclusion that
Pa law is necessary.
Under the present system of taxa
ION the state does not get enough
venue to defray actual expenses Of
~ govrnment. The assessment
lows a tendency to reduce values,
ND this feeling is more general this
eAr than formerly. Last year the
npervisors of Marion county reduced
values to an extent, cutting the
eessment, as made by the assessor
bout s1.ooO,ooo.
This has been followed by North
assissippi counties reducing the per-
Qnal rolls this year till a loss of
bout $1.000,O00 is. expected in per-
EQnal values this year, as compared
Nth last. This is done, in most in
|tAnces, where the assessor is seek
ng reelection, and Governor Noel
links the only way to prevent this
is a state board, which
bhall finally pass upon the work of
he assessors.
This system was adopted in Texas
9eyeral years ago, and values have
been raised over $5,000.00O, but the
lax rate has been reduced. Under
HE Texas law the large property
older pays his proportion of the
Iaxes Of the state, Just as the small
holder does, and sentiment in Missis-
llppt Is beginning to veer in that di-
rection. Values are exceedingly low
b this state, lower, probably, than any
pther state in the Union, while the
lax rate is high, and only the small
property owner pays anything like
he true value Of his property.
Governor Noel has suggested this
before, and 1t is probable he will
again recommend it in his final mes
sage to the legislature, which meets
IN January, 1912. He realizes some
hing must be done, and believes that,
by equalizing taxes, the state will get
mffcient revenues to defray all costs
bf government and meet all its finan-
cfal obligations without issuing
bonds.

Sparring six lively rounds with
his training partner, Hume Duval,
Vic McLaglen, the 200-pound boxer
and wrestler, who fought six
rounds with Jack Johnson at Van
couver year ago to a no-decision
draw, was easily the prize attrac-
ton at the Elks' smoker last night.
Aside from the sparring match with
rounds lasting two minues each,
McLaglen and Duval struck poses
Under the spotlight in several of
the famous boxing positions and
and wrestling holds.
Other attractions at the smoker
were the Orsie-Bracken bout; a
two-round go between Wild Bill
Mccarthy and Charles Carman;
four rounds by Noel Smith and
Bob Bake; weight lifting. boxing
and wrestling contest between
Frank Roth and George Labst (the
Gold Dust Twins), and Pauline. the
famous hynotist from the Pantages
theater, put on some of his work.
Referee Bob Lee stopped the
Mccarthy Carman bout before the
end of the second round, when big
Wild Bill, from the East Side Ath
letic club, was on the verge Of put
ting Carman to the bad.
