Lumbermen Plan to Fight Against
Union.

Galveston, Texas, May 31.--The
lumber mill owners of Texas have
decided to take decisive action
against the organization of en-
ployees, including timber cutters
and all other workmeD known as
the Brotherhood of Timber Work
ers. This organization is affiliai-
ed with the Industrial Workers Of
the World, and is opposed to the
American Federation of Labor aud
is based on Socialistic tenets and
ideas. o.
The Texas mill owners claim
the Louisiana, Alabama and Miss
issippi uills are together in the
fight, which affects over 200 mills,
as against the unionization of the
employees. which proposed to de-
mand an eight-hour day instead of
ten and an increase in the wage
scale. The manufacturers have
determined to put into effect a
counter move by reducing the OPP
Grafton of all mills to four days a
week on the first of June. If this
is not effective in dissipating the
demands of the organizers of the
workers union they will shut down
the lumber mills for an indefinite
period. They declare the reduc-
ton of the eight-hour day from
ten hours alone increases the cost
of labor more than Is per cent,
and that labor is the largest item
of expense in the lumber manufac-
turing business.
They declare that in view of the
present condition of the lumber
market the mill men are not max
ing any money on the present
scale of wages and hours. The
argument of the laborers that the
cost of living has advanced SO that
it is difficult to make ends meet is
answered by the mill owners with
the reply that to reduce the work
ing day by two hours cuts down
the output of the mills without
materially affecting the labor earn
ings. Organizers for the union
have been visiting every lumber
camp IN the four States, but the
manufacturers hope to forestall
the labor movement by closing
aud shutting down their plants,
which will affect more than co.
600 men.

Three Hundred Dozen Chickens in q
Car of l.. X. & N. Roasted.

Three hundred dozen chickens
were roasted alive on the night of
Nav 81 between 10 and ii o'clock
in a car on the l.. r.. & n. railroad,
at point Just above Consulate,
La. The southbound passenger
train had car load of chickens
which was being shipped from
Shreveport to New Orleans, aud
when at a point two miles north
of Coushatta, it was discovered
that the car was burning furiously.
1t is said that the flames leaped
from coop to coop of the $500
fowls, feeding on their feathers
with such rapidity that it was i'm
possible to save them. One coop
nearest the door was partially
opened and about fifty chickens
jumped out and escaped. The re-
mainder were roasted alive.
The train crew had the remain
der of the cars detached from the
burning car, and taken to safe
distance. 1t was found that the
FIRE was getting SO hot that 1t was
feared that the track would be in
jured aud further delay the pas
senger train. The engine was
hitched to the burning car and it
was hustled through the woods to
Coushatta, two miles away with
such rapidity that no doubt the
natives in that section thought
that Halley's comet had again
visited the earth. 1t WAS placed
on side track aud allowed to barn
out, but it heated up the main
track and vicinity too badly to al
low the passenger train to pass it
under an hour.
The chickens were valued at
about IS cents each, making a loss
of about $3.50.

Editor Collar Chronicle:
This afternoon marked the de-
parture Of Prof. j. Il. Mckee, ac-
companied by FIVE students of this
school, They left for Baton
Rouge, where four of the students
go toenter the demonstration high
school, aud one to enter the uni
versity proper. Prof Mckee
goes to teach some branch of math-
ematics in the high school, aud to
pursue some higher technical
branch.
This year closed one of the
most brilliant years work of the
verda high school. The gradual
ing exercises were the best ever
held in this place. The delivery
of the prophecy aud the farewell
address were good. and the sinceri-
ty of the boys seemed to reach
the audience. which shed some
tears. The audience was one of
the most appreciative we have
seen gather in Verda. A number
OF the people remained standing,
and the weather was extremely
warm.
The outlook for school work
next year. is brighter than it has
been before, and we believe with
our principal aud some of his as
sociates, that much good will be
accomplished during the next year.

in the State. 1t is the first con-
tract to be let out in which the
State under the new law joins
with the parish and is to pay one
half of the cost. In fact, it is
the only road thus far that has
been let out by contract, all the
other roads, we believe, being
built by the parishes with con-
vict labor.
This road is being built with
hired labor. The contract price
is $1785 per mile, which includes
all bridges and culverts neces-
sary, and upon this unit the road
will cost approximately $57, 900.
The road will be built almost en-
tirely in the pine hills of Grant
parish.
10 show the wide spread inter-
est that is being taken in this
particular road, we mention the
fact that Mr.. Constant, the con-
tractor, has received an inquiry
from the Manufacturers Record,
of Baltimore, asking for particu-
lars in regard to the road, its
character and the character Of
country through'which it passes.
Another significant fact that we
will mention is that inquiries are
already being received from per-
sons who want to buy homes and
settle along the road.
In addition to this highway, it
is safe to estimate that, with the
500. 600 tax Grant parish has
voted, she will be able to build
80 miles more of road, or a total
of 112 miles of good roads within
the limits of the parish.

Mr.. F. L. Constant, the con-
tractor for the 80 miles of model
highway to be built in Grant par
ish, began to unload carloads of
his supplies at Colfax on last Sat
urday, and a lot of his wagons
and teams came in for a day or
two later, having travelled over
land.
In all he has received fully
thirty head of mules, a dozen
wagons, and a lot of lighter We
hicles, plows. scrapers, etc., to-
gether with tents and other
things necessary for his camping
outfit. He has established his
camp on the hill where the old
Wilmut house use to stand, near
the Cholera branch, distant from
Colfax about five miles,
Thursday morning, June 8, in
company with Mr.. P. S. Smith,
of Winfield, the editor of the
Chronicle drove out to Mr.. Con-
stant's camp, which makes quite
show with it's dozen or more
of white tents. In this village of
campers everything is under can
vas, the corral for the mules, the
commissary, blacksmith shop,
kitchen, Office, and all, and ev-
erything is arranged in systemat-
ic order.
The working force consists of
several white men, and about
forty colored laborers. The white
men are: F. T. Constant, con-
tractor w. R. Hynson, book
keeper; o. C. Rabb, foreman !;
Dan Waters, E. L. Marlborough
and Joe Winter, assistants. In
addition to this working force,
Mr.. Constant informs us he has
other teams and men that he will
put on and use as work on the
roadway progresses.
We found Capt. Cooley, the
u. S. Government Good Road ex-
pert, together with his assistant,
Mr.. Wilmot, at work establishing
levels, Strengthening lines, and
driving a number of additional
stakes along the right of way for
the guidance of the road builders.
Capt. Cooley is in charge of the
State work now in progress in a
number of the parishes, and prob
ably knows more about the build
ing of good roads than any ten
men in Louisiana. Mr.. Wilmot,
his assistant, was engaged in
work on the Panama Canal, and
is an engineer of recognized abili-
ty. 1t is their duty to mark off
and lay out the work according
to specifications.
Actual work on the road was
begun Thursday morning, force
of Is or 20 men being set to work
at the east end of the Darro
bridge, cutting out the under
growth, and removing grubs,
stumps and trees from the right
of way, which is being cleared
out forty feet wide.
The road proper will be "a feet
wide from center to center of the
bitches on each side, the road bed
to be crested over similar to the
streets of a city.
