STRIKERS HIT SNAG
UNCLE SAM TAKES
HAND IN FAVOR R R
(By Associated Press.)

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. "a new de-
parture in the history of the labor
movement was taken here today when
an injunction was issued by the Cir
cult court restraining the officers of
three railway labor organizations from
calling a general strike on the ST.
Louis and Southwestern railroad.
Matters in controversy between the
railroad and it's employees, who are
members of the organizations against
which today's restraining order is di-
rected, have been the subject of re-
peated conferences recently, but no
adjustment has been reached, and a
general strike was impending when
attorneys for the petitioning railroad
company applied to the court for an
injunction.
That a strike at this time would Sc
riously interfere with the transporta-
tion of freight and passenger traffic
and that such an order issued simul-
taneously by three brotherhoods would
be an attempt to restrain trade in vio-
lations of the Sherman antitrust law,
was urged by the rilroad In asking for
temporary injunction.
Hearings upon a petition to make to-
days Injunction will be begun at a la
ter date, probably next week.

During the thunderstorm prevail

who lives upon the G. w. Kenmore
place five miles west of Americus, on
the Plains road. The barn, with its
contents of 800 bushels corn, hay,
fodder and feedstuff, was entirely con-
sumeI. Three good milch COWS be-
longing to Franklin also perished in

burning barn and could not be res
cued. The loss falls heavily upon
Franklin, a worthy and industrious
negro.

LONDON, Nov. 9.-Russia is the
dominating military power Of the war
today. Russian Poland has been
cleared of invading Germans and the
road to Berlin is almost open to the
Cossacks of the Gear. The speed with
which the Russians cleared Poland of
Germans has thrown all the Allied
powers into a frenzy of enthusiasm.
A dispatch from Petrograd states
that the invasion of Germany may be
postponed until Russia has accom-
plished her purpose against the Bos-
ph1rus states. Austria-Hungary and
Turkey will be forced into subpec-
ton as speedily as possible.
In the western theatre the Allies are
holding their own. Encouraged by the
magnificent showing of their allies in
the east. England and France have
been fighting like heroes for the past
week The Kaiser is on the defensive
and the Allies are hopeful of driving
him off French territory within a
short time.

TURKEY ENTERS WAR
WITH EMPTY TREASURY
(By Associated Press.J

LONDON, Nov. 9.-Private dis
patches from Constantinople indicate
that Turkey enters the war as an ally
of the Kaiser practically bankrupt
She has exhausted the loan rendered
her by Germany. An attempt to f.
nance the war with a heavy import
tax will probably be made.
That the Turkish treasury is al
ready empty and that the people re-
fuse to have a heavy internal rev.
enue tax placed uron them, was also
expressed in the communication from
Constantnople. Whether or not the
Kaiser will extend further credit to
Turkey remains to be seen. Refusal
on the part of the Kaiser to make fur
ther loans to the Turks will practical
ly eliminate them from the conflict
within a short space of time.

ALLIES RESUME
FIGHTING ON
USER

PARIS, Nov. 9.-The official state-
ment given out at the Office of the war
ministry today states that early this
afternoon the Germans renewed Of
fensive operations at Dixmunde and
in the region about Ypres, all the Ger
man attacks to the southeast of Ypres,
where the fighting was most sanguin-
airy, being repulsed
Along the entire battle line stretch
ing across northern France and part
of Belgium, the Allies during this
morning effected material advances,
except in a few localities where the
German resistance was most stubborn
Losses during the days fighting have
been heavy on both sides.
In the region around Mount st. Ma
rie the Germans forces early this
morning began determined attempt
to take the heights surrounding the
village, but were unsuccessful. The
fighting there continued several hours
and was of an extremely stubborn
character, field artillery being used
by the German attackers, and the AL
lied forces successfully shelling the
German infantry as each attack pro-
gressed. The losses inflicted upon the
attackers are reported as being heavy
while the Allies forces sustained but
slight casualties.

CITY DEFENDANT 7
DAMAGE CLAIMS
DELAYING CIRCUS
LAWSUIT HERE NAY RESULT BE-
CAUSE OF CONDITION OF
THE STREETS.

A heavy truck and several fine
horses belonging to the "101 Ranch"
were detained in Americus yesterday
as the result of an accident occurring
on Cotton avenue Saturday night
which delayed this part of the show
and necessitated the sending back
from Columbus of special cars to car
ry the delayed equipment to that city
this morning.
Late Saturday night, as one of the
vans was proceedings along Cotton
avenue to the Central railway depot
where the circus was loading for Col
umbus, the team crashed through the
platform scales of Bolton Bros, which
extends twelve or fifteen feet out to-
wards the center of the avenue and
forms a part of the roadway.
Some time was required to prize the
wagon out of the hole, and as the
show management refused to pay the
amount said to have been demanded
by Bolton Bros, as alleged damage to
their scales, the team was hung up
here and missed the regular circus
train. Next morning the circus people
promptly gave bond and the matter
will be threshed out in the courts.
AS the platform scales form a part
of the roadway, and are driven over
daily by teams here, it would seem
that the circus people have clear
case for damages against the city of
Americus, instead of being held up for
damages, as result of the accident.

Morgenthau, at Constantinople, stating
a crisis has arisen in the Turkish cab
met as a result of that nation's entry
into the European war and that the
ministers of agriculture, interior, and
post and telegraph have resigned.
The retiring cabinet members be-
longed to what is known in Turkey as

tin to maintain neutrality. The action
Of the Ottoman government in siding
with Germany precipitated a crisis,
and all cabinet members fayoring a
neutral policy resigned.

CO IN WINTER
QUARTERS
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Nov. "a news dispatch
from Copenhagen says that Berlin as
serts that the German forces are max
ing preparations for entering winter
quarters. Cold weather has already
set in and the soldiers at the front are
experiencing great suffering.
Military officials have ordered extra
heavy tents to house the men during
the long winter months. Fur outfits,
sleighs and other winter necessities
have been ordered for the whole ar
my.
The force now in the field will be
divided so that the German will be
able to hold their own during the win
ter months. The camps will be forti-
ffd and the heaviest guns of the army
will be assigned to them. The forces
will spend the winter months waiting
for the spring which will enable them
to resume their fighting against the
Allies.

NEW YORK COT
TON EXCHANGE
OPEN SOON
(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Contrary to
expectations the board of directors of
the New York Cotton Exchange today
failed to announce the date of the
forthcoming re-opening of the ex-
change. The directors have been con-
sidering re-opening the exchange since
the recent visit of Sir Edward Paish,
who visited America recently to eff
feet an adjustment of unliquidated cot
ton trades between New York and Liv-
pool, and whose visit here helped ma
terially to straighten out the tangle
caused by the closing of both the Liv-
erpool and New York exchanges at
the opening of the war. A decision
was expected to be announced this
morning.
The cotton trade already in a de-
moralized state, should be greatly
helped by re-opening of the various
exchange and prominent cotton fac
tors here are urging the directors to
hurry the re-opening, which it is hop
ed will not be delayed longer than
next week, probably Thursday or Fri
day.

Legislation to Rove Cotton.

Prior to the beginning of the war
sixty per cent. of our cotton was ship
ped abroad and manufactured by for
eign mills. At the outbreak of the
war, three months ago, there were no
vessels, floating the American flag to
carry cotton across the ocean. Nearly
all of Europe was at war and vessels
of any of the nations at war were sub
ject to seizure. The entire export of
cotton was stopped by the war. Not
only was its use in foreign mills les
sened, but there was no way to ship it
to the owners of foreign mills.
This subject received the immediate
attention of congress. Our entire navi-
cation laws have been remodelled. I
need not give the details of the
changes made, but today there are
many vessels floating the flag of the
United States. More are being rapid
ly admitted to American registry.
On Thursday before congress ad-
journed, a senate resolution was unan-
imously passed appointing commit
tee of five senators to press the adj
justment of our differences with for
eign countries in regard TO naviga-
tion, so that cotton might at once be
carried abroad. England promptly re-
sponded to our demands, ana the i'm
proved price of cotton in the past two
weeks is largely due to the facilities
that are being given for the exporta-
tation of cotton.
Legislation to Furnish Currency.
Early in August the Aldrich-vree-
land Act, under which emergency
currency is issued, was amended so
as to increase the issue of emergency
currency.
All possible effort has been made to
speed the opening of the federal re-
serve banks. The European war in
terfered with our entire financial sta
tus and made it more difficult to start
