Little Rock. Aug. 27.-As the result of the officials at the Iron Mountain shops. Argenta, refusing to remove Thomas H. Harris, general machine foreman in the machine shops, be- cause of alleged dissatisfaction be- tween the machinists and the fore man, practically 300 machinists. help CTS and apprentices laid off at 10 o'clock this morning. The big whis- tie at the shops was sounded prompt ly at 10 o'clock and every machinist excepting a few in the roundhouse. who were doing emergency work, walked from the shops and crowded about the offices of the master me- chanic.
 A few minutes later conference with the heads of the machin:sts' un- ion and B. J. Peasley, master ma chanic, was held and an agreement was reached and it was decided that the men return to work at l o'clock this afternoon. When the shops re- stunned operation at 1 o'clock all the men returned to work. A committee of machinists composed of Carl Swa- gart, A. c. Baker, Paul McGarr and Morris Barrett. it is said, were named to go to St. Louis tonight to confer with the officials of the motive pow CT department relative to the settle ment of the trouble. MT. Harris was not removed. This, however, was de- nied by heads of the machinists. Trouble Long Brewing.
 From information gathered at the shops. it appears the trouble has been brewing for some time. Harris has been at the shops for the past hve years.

OLITA'S FATE SAME
 AS 8 ACTRESSES
Failure of Germans tO Report Cap- lures of Guns and Prisoners at KrpSt.LitoySk Leads to Belief Rus.
 sian Army Will Escape.

London, Aug. 27-With the Occupa- tion of Olita, the ninth Russian fort rcss to capitulatc within three weeks, the Germans arc now in virtual con trol of the line of the Nicmcn and the Bug.
 Grodno, 40 miles southeast of Olita. the only stronghold on this front still in the hands of the Russians, IS semi-officially reported to be on the point of evacuation, having apparently served it's purpose of covering the Russian retreat.
 The Germans have resumed the Of fensive in the Baltic provinces and report gains southeast of Mitau at Bausk and Schoenberg. and east or Kovno. Some 2450 Russians have been taken prisoners in these opera tions.
 The objective in these operations is the trunk line of railway which leads to Petrograd, passing through Wilma and Dvinsk. The loss of Wilma, which holds the railroad key to the northern end of the Russian line. is practically conceded German troops under General von Eichorn. advancing from Kovno, already are within 'strik- ing distance of the city, which is not fortified. 1MnU Russians Again Escape. | The large forces of Germans are engaged in the pursuit of the Russian armies retreating from Brest-Litoysk. l The fact that the Germans have failed l to report the capture of guns or pris- oners at the Bug fortress leads to the belief that it was evacuated and that the czar's troops are well on their way to their new line.
 1 Unofficial dispatches to the effect that the Russian armies had been di- vided into three sections by the de- scent of the Germans on the Warsaw Pctrograd railroad in the north and the cutting of the line between Kovel and Rovno in the south, are not cred :. ited. It is believed that the Grand Duke Nicholas has again made good his retreat to a new line, but some military experts here express fear that he may find it untenable, owing to German operations around Wilma.
 The Germans today report the cap ture of about 6.000 prisoners.
 Germans Complete Campaign.
 Reports that large numbers of Ger man troops are being transported to the west leads number of military observers to the opinion that the Germans are nearing the completion of their campaign against Russia. | It is believed that they will try to take Loutsk and Rovno and then dig themselves in along what is now the Russian third line, stretching from Riga through Wilma, Dvinsk, Lida. Baramovichi, and then south through the vast swamps of White Russia to | KOvnO.

FIRST BALE GROWN IN COUNTY SELLS
 FOR 9c A POUND
First Bale Is Also Purchas- ed for Silbernagle &
 Company.

s. l.. Maas of Silbernagle & com pany yesterday bought the first bale of Jefferson county cotton of the new crop, from Frank Harbason. of the Rutherford place, near Pastorla.
 The cotton brought 9 cents the pound, and classed as middling. The Silbernagle company thus enters the local cotton buying ranks, this being it's first year to purchase the staple. The firm has big brick warehouse and will enter the cotton business on large scale.
 Although for years past Pine Bluff has awarded bonus of cash for the first bale of cotton of each crop that is brought to this city, Mir. Harbason received no bonus for raising the first bale in Jefferson county. owing to the fact that the first bale of cot ton received in Pine Bluff this year came from the plantation of Dr. Nor ton, at Lake Village. Lake Village has won the bonus in Pine Bluff for three successive years, according to the records of the Pine Bluff cotton exchange.
 The situation has been the subject
  ness men and cotton buyers recently, and the indications now are that be- ginning with next season, Pine Bluff will offer a bonus for the first bale of cotton sent here from Pine Bluffs l cotton territory, and another bonus for the first bale raised in Jefferson county. Lake Village is outside of Pine Bluffs cotton territory. sending only a comparatively few bales here. while most of it's crop goes to Mem phis, Tenn, and Rosedale and Green | vile, Miss.
 It developed recently that at the l time Dr. Norton sent the first bale to Pine Bluff. he also shipped bale to Greenville, Miss, and one to Little :, Rock In this connection, the Little Rock Democrat a day or two age printed the following:
 l "A bale of cotton shipped here by Dr., Norton of Lake Village by mis take ,Was ,s9lae to O. o. Scrogggin & Co. at auction for g IS cents .pel pound by his, request. Under thu board of trade rules the premium bale is the one that arrives at the board of trade. first. whether by wagon ol rail. but must come from the Little Rock cotton distriot;. or, in othe' words, Little Rock concentration Ipoint."
