THOMPSON OPPOSES
EXTRA BRAKEMAN Bill.
Railway Official Says Such
Law Would Be Unfair and
Very Costly.

toehSyAL 10 IhH FtIeoHAAo
CHARLESTON, Feb. 13-Declar-
Ing that the enacting OF a so-called
full crew bill or extra brakeman law
In West Virginia would place an ad-
dttional and needless expense of
$15S.595 a year on the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, based on the vol
ume of business handled last year,
A. w Thompson, vice president in
charge Of operation of that company,
made the closing argument here be-
fore the railroad committee of the
legislature on behalf of the carriers.
Mr.. Thompson told the lawmakers
that In opposing the bill. which is
considered false theory OF eco
Monies. the Baltimore and Ohio has
no quarrel with Its men nor is tho
company ayerse to fair and equita-
Bile railroad legislation, but that the
employees are themselves divided in
sentiment apd opinion concerning its
passage.
/ Combating the argument Of in
creased safety through enforced en-
ployment Of an extra brakeman on
trains OF unusual length, Mr.. Thomp-
son made the point that the Balti-
more and Ohio now operates its
freight trains with an addition brake
man in descending heavy grades and
with special supervision for handling
trains down the mountains; and thai
extra conductors or ticket collectors,
brakemen and special officers are
often assigned to passenger trains
for the protection Of the public.
Mr. THOMPSON appeared before the
railroad committee in company with
G. w. Galloway, general manager; u.
B. Williams. general superintendent;
o. H Hobbs. superintendent at Par
kersburg, and A. Huter Boyd, Jr.
assistant general attorney OF the Bal
timore and Ohio.

in The Journal of the needs of a
creamery for Tupelo has been
taken up by Mr.. L. r. Gates,
who has been corresponding with
parties with the view of getting
them to come here to look over
the situation. Mr.. Gates has the
promise from Mr.. Bert Thomas,
Of Woodstock, ILL.,, to come TO
TuDeIo about Feb. 8 for the pur-
pose OF discussing the matter
with our people.
Mr.. Thomas is an experienced
dairyman and has a large herd
of Holstein cattle near Chicago.
He will be able to offer some good
advice gained from years of eX-
perience. There is a great op-
portunity now open for this in
dustry here and the matter
should be pressed until a cream
cry is located in TupeIo.

For State Senator

In the current issue of The
Journal will be found the an
nouncement of Robert Lee Har-
rison, who is candidate to
represent Lee and Itawamba
counties in the senate during the
next legislature. Mr.. Harrison
has a clear insight into the intri-
cate duties of law making and a
comprehensive grasp of the needs
of the state in relation to those
laws necessary to place her upon
the highway of prosperity. He
is progressive where he feels that
new things are better than the
old, yet he would not vote as a
member of the senate to squan-
der the peoples money until he
was clearly shown that value re-
ceived would result. Mr.. Har-
rison made the race four years
ago for the lower house of the
legislature and during the cam
paign proved himself to be a
public speaker of exceptional
ability. During that race he drew
around him a strong support and
received a handsome vote at the
