mote fair for the county this fall
On their return they proceeded to de
all they could to promote and encour
age the project, their efforts resulting
in a mass meeting of the citizens oi
the county at Jasper on Thursday,
June 27th. This mass meeting decid-
ed to have a fair, and elected the Ma.

ed of the~undersigned, with authority
to locate the fair, and take all neces-
sry action to insure and promote a
county fair.
Pursuant to instruction, and after
giving due notice to the different plac-
es of the county likely to be interested
in having the fair located therein, the
Association met at Jasper on July 1st.
and. after hearing from the representa-
tives of the different places and a
general discussion of the matter, it
was unanimously decided by the Asso-
citation to accept the proposition of
South Pittsburg, which was to furnish
the grounds and building and $1,000 to
finance the fair, and located the fair for
this year at that place, to be held
sometime this fall, about Oct. LIST,
Ample quarters will be provided for
caring for all stock, and exhibits of
every kind, in the very best possible
manner, good, substantial buildings
being provided for these purposes. An
effort will be made to secure rates for
transportation of stock on Che rail-
road, and loading pens erected at the
different stations along the line.
There will be no reason why all of the
best there is in Sequachee Valley

burg, at this fair. A race track. brass
band, and everything that lends at
tractiveness to a fair will be had.

easily leading in the total points in

MORE PAY
And Better Working Con-
ditiOns Involved.
Locomotive Engineers and The
Board Of Arbitration Meet.
Increased Danger and Response.
biIity, Say the Railroad Men.

New York, July 15.-Representatives
of 30 railroads. east of Chicago and
north of the Ohio river, met the off
cial heads of their locomotive engi-
neers' union. before an arbitration
commission, today. at the Oriental
hotel, Manhattan Beach, in an effort
to reach settlement of differences.
which recently threatened to result
in a strike that. it was claimed, would
have paralyzed the industries of the
country. Increased pay estimated at
S,500,000 a year and better working
conditions for engineers are involved.
Oscar S. Strauss, former secretary of
Commerce and Labor, presided The
other members of the commission are
Charles II. Van Hise, president of
the University of Wisconsin, Fred
erick Newton Judson, a leading law
yer of st Louis, DIR. Albert Shaw
editor of the Review of Reviews; Otto
NJ. Eidlitz, q New York contractor;
Daniel Willard, president of the Bal
tinore & Ohio Railroad. and p. H.
Morrissey, former president of the
brotherhood of Railway Trainmen.
Warren Stone. chief of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers, oc-
cupied the afternoon, presenting the
case of the men. He reviewed the diff
ferences between tn railways and the
engineers and outlined the pressure
that was brought to bear to have the
controversy arbitrated.
1--WE accepted the offer to submit
our claims, for increased eompensa-
ton, to this board for arbitration"
said Mr.. Stone. "as we believe we can
win before any fair minded tribunal
on earth. We expect to meet every
question that can be raised and to
present absolute facts. Not only are
the eyes of labor and capital watch
ing the outcome of this hearing, but
organized labor the world over is
waiting TO learn whether the dawn
of a new era is at hand or if we are
to take a step Backward
Mr.. Stone said the men based their
claims chiefly upon two grounds, the
responsibility of the engineers while
on duty and the skill required of an
engineer. He said that no matter how
well railroad is built and equipped,
or how perfectly it is fitted with mod
ern devices. it is upon the engineer,
trains falls. He pointed out that the
engineer must pass a rigid examina-
ton and be pronounced physically
perfect before he is given charge of
an engine. Insurance statistics show
ed. MIR. Stone confined, that the av-
erage working life of locomotive en-
gineer is only II years and seven days.
and he added. that if a man has only
that much labor to sell he should be
paid more than living wage.
Mr.. Stone submitted reports made
by railroads to the Interstate Conn
merce Commission and other data in
support of his contention that the in
creased speed of passenger trains. the
heavier types of freight locomotives
and the more elaborate signal sys-
TENS in use, combined to add to the
strain and responsibility of the en-
gineer

Of Great Britain I hat United
States Has No Right
To Pass Its Own COaSiWise
Vessels Free Through Panama.
Senators Root and Burton Empha
tic In Their Opinion.

Washington, July 15.-Great Bri
tain's protest that the United States
has no right under the Hay-Paunce-
tote treaty to pass its own coastwise
vessels free through the Panama canal.
while it collects tolls from British and
other foreign ships found emphatic
support in the Senate, today
Opening the fight over the Panama
canal bills to the Senate by the House
in which the free provision is an inn
portant feature, Senators Burton of
Ohio and Root of New York outlined
the ground upon which the enemies of
free American ships will fight their
battle.
Both senators declared Great Britain
had surrendered important rights at
Panama held under the former Clay
ton Bulwer treaty for the pledge Of
equal treatment to all ships, given by
the United States in the existing Hay
Pauncefote treaty. The controversy
hinges on the question of whether the
United States, in it's pledge to treat the
ships of "all nations" equally, meant
to include vessels owned by its own
citizens.
Senator Root, former secretary oil
state. unreservedly declared The
Hague court would be called upon tC
settle the issue if the United States
passed the bill with the free provi-
sion, which he characterized as I'm
justifable discrimination" against
other nations. A decision against the
United States by The Hague court, he
said would undoubtedly involve this
country in the repayment of millions
of dollars to the owners of foreign
ships, which might have been taker
