the situation, in that they drafted

men on the traction lines signing
the statement prior to a certain

did not sign would be automatically
discharged. This had the effect
of bringing on a strike and lockout.
Immediately thereafter the mayor

Win Wage Strike.

Newport News, Va, June T.
Recently when the shipbuilding
company here reduced the working
hours to eight, it was understood
that no reduction in wages was to
follow the reduction in hours. The
shipbuilding company here has gov
ernment contracts, and. according
to the law, they must be done on
the eight-hour basis. Under the
new eight-hour rule the clippers
and caulkers or tank testers were
presented with a small reduction
in their weekly earnings. A pro-
test was made to the management
of the company, and everything
was done to secure a restoration of
the reduction in the total wage,
but without avail. Consequently,
the clippers and caulkers went on
strike, and demanded 30 cents per
holr for all hand caulkers and
testers in the hull construction de-
partment. After two days strike
the demands were granted by the
company and the men have returned
to work.

This is because the SOUND waves are
crowded together by the onrushing en-
CINE and shortened as it approaches
and are drawn out longer as it goes the
other way.
The same thing happens to the light
OF an onrushing star. The eye cannot
detect it. but the spectroscope does.
The astronomer allows the light of
the star to come through a slit and be
broken up by the instrument He Sc
lects a single line OF the spectrum of
the star, chooses a guide line beside it
and watches it.
If the star is approaching the light
waves will be shortened and the light
will become slightly nearer the violet
If it is receding the waves will be
longer and the light will approach the
red
Red is low pitch in light and blue is
high pitch. As the star swings about
the curve at this end of its orbit the
light gradually returns to normal, be-
cause the star, while moving just as
fast is not approaching us as much.
AS the star turns back the line goes the
other side of the normal.
BY continued observation the astron-
omer finds how fast and how far the
star goes each way and how often it
does so. In the case of some stars he
discovers that what appears to be one
star is really two, which is shown by
the fact that line will divide into
two and one part move up and the 9th
er down the spectrum at the same
time. Such stars are known as spec
troscopic doubtless New York Sun.

Cincinnati, June 6.-Since the
successful organization and strike
of the Street Carmen in this city
large numbers of workers in other
industries are becoming interested
in organized labor. As matter
of fact the successful issue in the

caused discussion among the work

national Unions are on the ground
and the outlook for new organiza-

Tooke was one. A large block of black

Point, October ga strong cor

Farm, and including among Its stock
holders some Of the leading business
men of CASTOR and ,Mecklenburg
counties, has recently been incorpor-
ated to develop some OF the rich bot
tom lands along the Catawba river.
w. T. Rankin Is president and
treasurer, G. M. Gullick is vice pres
ident and R. G. Rankin Is secretary.
The other directors are w. 8. Lee and
E. c. Marshall.
The company has purchased thir-
ty-one hundred acres of land lying
along the south bank Of the Catawba
river, extending from the Mclean
bridge on Catawba creek to the Jas
per Anderson place below Wrights
Ferry, and with two or three excep-
tions including all the bottom and all
the hill lands between the two points.
The main purpose Of the company
is to develop a modern stock farm.
and to that end has secured three
wide-awake and thoroughly compe-
tent superintendents. Mr.. Ralph
Rankin is to have charge OF the up
per portion. Mr.. Bishop ]. Currence
ton and Mr.. Augustus Brandon Is to
have charge Of the lower farm.
AS a part of the preliminary pre-
parations three large barns are to be
erected at once, one on each farm. A
system Of waterworks will be INSTALL
ed on each farm and everything Is to
be so arranged as to save as much
man labor as possible by machinery.
Buyers are now looking out with
view to purchasing some fifty head OF
Percheron mares to be used In the
breeding of fine mules, and already
herd Of shorthorn cows and heifers
has been placed on the lower farm.
The cattle are to be divided into con-
venient herds, and each herd Is to be
headed by registered shorthorn bull.
There is to be big cotton gin on
the upper farm near the Mclean
bridge, and saw mill machinery is
now en- route to be erected immedi-
ately upon its arrival.
1t is the understanding also that II
satisfactory navigation Of the Cataw-
ba river is found to be practicable, a
big gasoline boat will be launched to
ply between points on the farm and
other points on the river both for the
benefit Of the company and the pub
lie.

as there Is very little reason to doubt
that it will be Of tremendous benefit
to scores Of people in the Point Sec

do with the bringing about Of this
new enterprise, this correspondent
does not care to make definite state
ment; but he Is quite sure that the
association deserves some credit, and
has absolutely no doubt that benefit
will be derived to this whole section.
