LABOR TROUBLES IN
CALCASIEU CAUSING
INTENSE FEELING.
Mill Workers and Mill Owners
AT Dagger's Point. and Gov
ernOr May Be Appealed To.

Lake Charles, La, July H..
Labor troubles in Western and
Southwestern Louisiana have
brought about a disturbed con-
dition of affairs in the sawmill
industry in this section. The
situation in Calcasieu, Beaure-
gard, Allen and Vernon parishes,
is particularly unsettled. In fact,
it has reached a critical stage.
Feeling is running high and in
tense bitterness prevails in some
of the localities. Every branch
Of business has been more or less
affected by the Generalization
that exists in several of the lum-
Der mill towns.
Present conditions w e r e
brought about by a dispute be-
tween the saWmill owners and
the Brotherhood of T m b er
Workers. Lined up en- one side
are the owners, managers and
loyal employees of the mill COM
panies. On the other are the
members of the Brotherhood of
Timber Workers, who are led by
Socialists. The mill owners are
resisting the demands of the
timber workers for an increase
in wages and changes in working
conditions to correct alleged
abuses, while the timber workers
and their socialistic leaders are
waging an aggressive campaign
against the millmen.
Business men and farmers who
occupy a neutral position in the
controversy have been caught be-
tween the contending factions
and are being forced to suffer
financial losses as a result of the
chaotic conditions that exist.
This element is clamoring loudly
for a settlement Of the dispute.
MAY APPEAL TO GOVERNOR.
Realizing that it would be fu-
tile and waste of time to attempt
to bring the warning factions to-
gether, citizens who occupy a
neutral attitude have reached the
conclusion that the only way to
establish permanent peace is to
appeal to Governor Hall and the
Legislature to intervene.
A strong sentiment has devel-
oped in favor Of urging the Gov
ernor to include in his call for
the extraordinary session of the
Legislature a request for a joint
legislative committee, clothed
with au TIL TO make a
sweeping investigation Of the
saWnill trouble. with the view
of enacting any laws that may be
necessary.

TROOPS PAID F 0 R
SERVICES DURING
FLOOD.
Fifteen Thousand Discussed
Among the State Guards by
Adjutant General McNeese.

Baton Rouge, July 29-Ad-
iutant General McNeese has COM
pleted the paying off of all the
troops that served during the
overflow in Baton Rouge, Vicks-
burg, Natchez, Melville, Port
Hudson, Millican Bend, Amite
City, and at other points.
The total of SIS, 600 was paid
out. This sum was not sufficient
to meet all Of the expenses, and
as a result Of the work that was
done during the high water by
the soldiers Of the National
Guard, the militia and field fund
is still out several thousand dol
lars. The SIS, 600 appropriation
which was made by the general
assembly at the time, it was esti-
ated, would be sufficient to pay
the soldiers, and refund the mill
tia and field fund the money which
had been drawn out at the be-
ginning of the food.

LaWtell Picnic.

@S#@ $a#4&H@@s&Z
LaWtell is coming to the front.
with our beautiful new, two
story school house, which when
furnished will cost about four
thousand dollars. The big gin
might have been finished but for
the failure Of the lumber to come
in on time. VIZ hope it will ar
rive soon and again the saws and
hammers will make music as of
yore.
Our genial host of the "Olevia
House. still serves the best of
dinners, and has added during
the past week a tonsorial parlor
to his establishment.
But we started out to tell
what a lovely time we had at the
Sunday School picnic held last
Thursday. The rains had been
falling every day but not wish
ing to disappoint the children,
we decided to brave the elements
and have the picnic anyway.
Our good friends, Mr.. and Mrs.
Louis Bihm, who are always
for every good word and work,
offered the use Of their lovely
oaks just outside his yard fence.
The place was as tho made for
the occasion; the shade was all
we could wish and when we ar
rived Mr.. Bihm and his good
wife had everything in readiness.
There was a nice platform for
the speakers and the organ, seats
were arranged out IN front, a
cooler Of water was placed on a
shelf built onto a magnificent
oak tree, and nothing was left
undone by these tireless workers
for the comfort Of their guests.
The Sunday School workers had
prepared a nice program, and
for more than an hour the large
audience was entertained and
edited, we trust, by the splen-
did recitations. essays and songs
Of our beautiful girls, robed in
white, and handsome boys as
they spoke in clear tones the
parts assigned to them. AS
their predecessors had so highly
entertained the audience, a rip
pie of expectation passed over
the crowd when next to the last
number on the program an
nounced that two small boys
would sing a duet, Nearer, Ny
God to Thee" and our staid
Superintendent, Bro. Worsham,
and dignified Dr. Foster came
forward and sang that beautiful
song which was the last words
heard on the sinking Titanic.
After the program closed, the
ladies were soon busy spreading
snowy linen on the green grass
and soon the long table was filled

DUAL OFFICE HOLDING Law.
Attorney General Gives Opinion which Shows
Ito Be lran.GIad.

Just how far-reaching is the
Locke dual office holding law
may be inferred from the follow
ing communication from the at
torney general on the subject.
Hon. Louis Kirkland, who is not
simply a levee inspector, was re-
quested to become a candidate
for Police Juror. Mr.. Hebert
having resigned for the reason
that he was postmaster. Before
agreeing to become a candidate,
Mr.. Kirkland wrote as above
stated. The Attorney Generals
letter reads:
New Orleans, La, July IL, 1912.
Mr.. E. Kirkland, Brusly, La.
Dear Sir-While there is some
doubt as to whether the position
of inspector Of levees would be
held to be such an office as would
be considered as falling within
the dual office holding law, I am
constrained to advise you that it
would be better not to take the
chances of holding both this posi-
ton and the position Of police
Juror at the one and the same
time. The question is a close
one, and it would be hard to de-
ter1nine Just what the Supreme
Court would decide. This being
true, it being a fact also that the
law provides a punishment of i'm
prisonment as we'll as a fine,
deem it prudent to advise you
not to hold both positions at one
and the same time.
Very truly yours,
E. G.. PLEASANT,
Attorney General.
