REASON FOR STRIKE
 BY CAPITOL THINKERS
COMMISSION FORBID USE OF PROFANITY OF WORKMEN
 CAUSES WALKOUT.

Little Rock, June 8.-Back of most strikes there is reason which sell dom gets to the public and the recent walkout at the new state capitol of the steel workers is no exception to the rule. While the public has been informed that the discharge of one of the steel workers without any appar- ent cause, brought out the strike, aft CT which the foreman of the steel workers was made the target and his discharge also asked. Back of the whole matter is friction which has been manifest between the contractors the capitol commission and the steel workers for some time on account of the language used by some of the steel workers when at their work on the steel work and the steel workers, having been forced to undergo this for many years, are very nervous When anything goes wrong they shout it out and the juciest of ship talk comes forth. Some of the steel workers on the capitol job can swear by note and never change the tone of voice when striking up new key. Some of them are artists in this line, as well as being good and strong in the lungs. The result of their verbal abuse, which foated about for blocks about the capitol, was that many com plaints were filed with the commis sion. The steel workers being high in the air, spread their voices over large area and language uniting for polite society leaked through open windows for blocks about. The capi- tol commission caused an order to be issued against swearing on the build ing, and this started the feeling of chilliness between employer and en- ploye.

MENIFEE PETITIONS
 FOR 4 NEW DEPOT PETITION IS SIGNED BY WOM- EN AND CHILDREN OF
 THAT PLACE.

Menifee, June 8.-The citizens of this place have presented petition to the Iron Mountain railroad re- questing the erection of new depot. The petition is signed by every wom- an and child of Menifee and is quite unique from this standpoint.
 The petition states that there are railroad conveniences at Menifee, but that there are not sufficient for the proper accommodation of passengers. The present depot the petition states, is in such condition that passengers are compelled to seek shelter else where when the weather is bad "or else be exposed to rain and other un- fair conditions of the weather"
 The unusual part about the petition is the fact that it is signed by num- Der of women. In Arkansas, wom- 1.n is not {. oona ice citizen and the law requires that such petitions to the railroad commission must be signed by bona fde citizens in order to give it sufficient weight to be acted upon.
 Men in just sufficient number to make the petition legal attached their signatures to the request for the new depot. The case will be heard by the railroad commission on July 6.

HARMONY IN
 THE CONVENTION OFFICERS ARE NOMINATED MANY IMPORTANT RESOLU- TIONS PRESENTED TO
 THAT BODY.

Little Rock, June 8.-Because of the absolute domination of the conven- tion by the administration forces the Arkansas Democratic convention which convened in Little Rock yes terday at noon, is one of the most har- monious gatherings of the party in many years. Tom Campbell of Ran dolph county was elected temporary secretary by exclamation, but was op- posed for permanent chairman by o. c. Ludwig, who met defeat, 485 to | 124. After that test of strength the administration forces absolutely con trolled the convention. All the seec- tions were made before the recess fol lunch,
 When the afternoon session conven- ed, Senator James II. Berry was call ed upon the platform and amid much cheering, delivered a short address. advising party harmony and telling of his many years in the service of the party. Then followed the introduc- tion of many resolutions, after the passage of motion to refer all such communications to the platform and resolution committee The first reso- lution struck key note in the con vention and was received with ap- plause. It called attention to the foul agricultural schools which have been established in the four districts of the state, and of the contract made with the citizens of those sections It referred to the fight made to re move the University of Arkansas from Fayetteville and recommended that the Democratic party ratify the agreement with the citizens and op. pose any movement at any time of ey- CT attempting to remove the schools to other places. This resolution was introduced by Gustave Jones of New port.
 Chancellor J. H. Humphreys ot Fayetteville introduced a resolution which put the convention in an up roar. His resolution specifics that nc candidate be allowed to spend in mak- ing his canvass more than one half of one years salary provided for the of flee. He spoke in support of his res olution, calling attention to the fact that the present governor will work two years for the state for nothing, as well as paying his own board and clothes. He stated the poor man was thus shut out from competing for | honors. There was considerable op- position to the resolution and efforts were made to vote it down on the floor. E. A. Bolton of Chicot county offered an amendment that none but men known all over the state offer for state offices, so there would be no necessity of a canvass at all. The best the resolution could do was to escape the axe and get into the hands | of the committee.
 Resolutions were offered for bank guarantee bill, another for an act of the legislature preventing the whole sale transfer of state lands to cor porations for speculation, prefcrring for the state to retain the land to be disposed of only to actual settlers.
 J. H. Hinemon presented a resolu- tion memorializing congress to pass an act to prevent the shipment of liq- uor into dry states and ultimately to stop entirely the manufacture of spir-
