DISTRICT PIE"
 ID BE ARRANGED
MONTGOMERY COUNTY sENz:Ne DELEGATION TO CONFER
 OVER SITUATION
County Central Committees of the Two Counties to Be the Arbiters
 As to the Proper Division

Montgomery county, through the
 County Central committee, has ap- pointed committee of three of It's
 members to come to uarisId county
 and present proposition tor oi-
 vision of the pie" or ihe political offices of the district. The proposal is that the Garland
 county Democratic Central committee
 shall call meeting and appoint a | like committee and give it authority to confer with the committe from the Montgomery county political or |ganization, with view to arriving lat definite understanding as to how the offices of the district shall be divided between ahe two counties of the district.
 The judicial offices are the circuit judge and the prosecuting attorney, but the senator is also district of flee in that it is elected by the two counties just the same as the judi cial officers.
 Just what will be done in Inc mat ter is problematical, but 1t is gen erally understood that the next state senator will be chosen from Mont gomery county. while the offices of circuit judge and prosecuting attor ney will for the present be left to Garland county
 1t is understood that the Montgom- cry county delegation will make no selfish demands for immediate recog- hilton along other lines than the sen for the present, but that an agreement is wanted for future guld ance. It is stated that politicians of county failed signaily in to control the delegations at the recent central committee meet ing. and that Montgomery county isn't really in such stew about poIi- tics as some of her spokesmen would indicate.

STRIKE NOW ON | ILLINOIS CENTRAL STRIKERS EXPECT TO TIE UP THE LINE WITHIN A VERY
 SHORT TIME Machinists Find Other Workers On
 the Line Join Them in the Strike for Higher Wages

Memphis. Tenn, Sept. 25. If an order issued late today by !. J.. lCarrigan, president of the Clerks i unioss~ of the Illinois Central raii- troad, is obeyed all members of that lorganization south of the Ohio river Iwill be on strike tomorrw morning. In Memphis not only the clerks but practically every member of the em- lpluyes' federation in the local freight lsheds and shops of the Illinois Gen. tral and Yazoo and Mississippi Val Hey roads left their desks and tools. ]. That the walkout of ihe shopmen lat Memphis Is inlatory to general movement of organized labor on the Illinois Central and it's subsidiary lines is believed.
 Mir. Carrlgan, who has established Temporary headquarters in Memphis explains ahe walkout of the clerks as a direct result of the inability of Ithe union officials to effect an agree ment with the raj road From the Iother employees no statement is forth looming other than a general refer enee to the intellectual efforts of la Ibor laders to have the railroad reeog- Inize the employees federation.
 Representative Of the striking em lployes assert that the tie-up will be icomplete s. s. Morris, general superintendent of the Il inois Cen tral, declares that by tomorrow the railroad will be in a position to cope lwith the situation
 In the absence of H. B. Brown, general foreman of the local shops. others in authority in the mechanical department would make no state ment.
 In all more than 300 men are out in this city. The clerks first left their work and then the machinists, boilermakers. blacksmiths, car men, sheet metal workers and the union- ized laborers. Beyond an occasionm ' jeer for those who remained at work there was no unseemly conduct in connection with the walkout. Union officials declare there will be no dis order. Clerks at the freight sheds were replaced by emp'oyes hurried from iIhe general and commercial of- fees of the two roads. For the tina being freight is not being received for local" points.
 Mir. Carrigan disclaims responsl- bility or official knowledge of the strike of the shopmen. Dissatisfac- ton among the clerks originated in December 1910. he asserts.
 Dispatches from union officials on
 the lines south of Memphis state the order to strike was obeyed by the clerks almost to man.
 At Jackson Miss. ,s7S men are re
 ported to have quit work, at yicks-
 burg 90 went out and at Natchez 8.
 McComb City, Iazoo City Green wood, Clarksdale and Greenville Miss. are other points where more than 90 per cent of the men are said to have struck.
 Al New Orleans 800 men are out Except at Memphis tAe strike did not extend 10 the shopmen today.
