S20.000, ,0O0 FREIGHT
 RAISE SUSPENDED

Washington, Aug. 30-Proposed in- creased transcontinental freight rates from the East to inter-mountain terri tory and from the Pacific coast to the East, which it was estimated would bring the railroads about S20,000,00 a year additional revenues, were sus- pended today by the Interstate Con- merce Commission for further inves- tigation. They were to have become effective at midnight.
 The commission suspended the rates until December 30, pending the inves- tigation to determine their reasonable ness. They would have been effective September l. The increases proposed were on fruits, vegetables, dry goods and many other commodities. More than six hundred shippers were rep resented here recently and protested against the increase. The increases were proposed after the commission had held several months ago that transcontinenta roads did not now have to meet the competition of the Panama canal and that lower rates than those now in question could not be justified for this reason and for the reason that this transcontinentaI traffic should pay it's share of the total burden on transportation. The higher rates were proposed after this decision.

ORGANIZED LABOR
 TO SUPPORT STRIKERS
Little Rock Has 5000 Members Organized LabOr-2,000 Will Contribute $1.00 Each-1O0 on Strike at BauXite.

Little Rock, Aug. 31.-Organized labor in Little Rock has agreed to support the striking miners at Baux- ite until they win their strike. The Little Rock Trades and Labor Council has taken up the matter, and appoint ed a committee of five to make a direct appeal to every labor organi- zation in the city for assistance, Blank pledges of merchandise to be charged to the account of the donor are being circulated "For the Starv- ing Bauxite Miners" and are being generously signed. There are 5000 members of organized labor in Little Rock and Argenta. and it is estimated that there are 2,000 of them who will contribute one dollar a month each. The negro hod-carriers union has con- tributed $35 for the strikers. It is said there are about 200 of the strik- CTS, or about one half of those on strike, who will receive strike bene- fits, and this number would increase if the strike continues long.

LITTLE ROCK PRE-.
 PAIRING FOR STRIKE
Expected That Freight Embargo Become Effective on Roads Operating Into City Today Supt. Dean Denies Report.

Little Rock, Aug. 31-It appears in- evitable here that the threatened rail- road strike will soon be in effect. Ar engagements are being made to take care of the situation as effectively as may be possible when all the roads are tied up. It is expected that the freight embargo will go into effect on roads operating into Little Rock to- day, and that by the latter part of the week it will include all traffic, and tickets will be sold subject to indefi- nite delays and at the passengers risk. It will be impossible to main- tain regular schedules.
 General Superintendent J. w. Dean of the Iron Mountain denied a report that had been circulated to the effect that the Iron Mountain shops here would be closed down Monday, indefi- nitely. He said that it is the purpose of the company to keep the shops run ming with as full forces as possible.
 Steps are being taken for the con- servation of food supplies in the event the strike should last longer than a week, for even in that length of time some communities would begin to feel the effect of food stringency.
 Many Little Rock people who have been away for the summer are hurry ing home, so that they may not be caught abroad with no means of get ting home.

CLARK COURT OPENS.
Hopkins and Whitted Case Involves
 Charge of Murder.

Philadelphia. Ark, Aug. 30.-The fall term of Clark county circuit court has convened here and the grand l jury is busy on a large number of law violations Most notable of the cases are the Ava Hopkins case and the case of Bert Whitted, accused of kill ing a man by the name of Perry in the fall of 1913. The date for these cases have not been set.
 Hopkins waived preliminary ex- animation. He was only recently ar rested. though his wife met her death at his hands last April, at the time it being supposed the killing was acci- dental. The couple was on fishing trip along the Caddo river six miles north of here. As they were walking single file Mrs. Hopkins was shot in the back, dying instantly. Hopkins claimed he stumbled, which caused the shotguns discharge close to her back. One witness was present, a woman, but she did not see the discharge of the gun, being in front of the slain woman There is much circumstan- tial evidence against Hopkins, which leads authorities to believe he design ed the death of his wife. There was another woman, and quite sum of insurance on Mrs. Hopkins life pay able to her husband, states Sheriff Roy Golden. It has been said that the other woman has since married, though her identity has not been re- vealed by the sheriff. The case is a close parallel to the Dixon case of last

MILLIONS OUT OF WORK
 IF STRIKE TAKES PLACE
Fmbargoes by Railroads AL ready Are Having a Disas- trous Effect on Commerce ioss Vii! be Tremendous.

New York. Aug. 30.-Representa- .;nos of New York City and it's in Ins+ries are making feverish efforts tonight to prevent a complete para lvsis of traffic in the case of the threatened nationwide railroad strike. Millions of persons, it is estimated r,;n he thrown out of work almost immediately.
 With the tying up of the railroads, steamship service out of New York and other American ports, particular v the freight traffic, virtually will be at A standstill. It is doubtful wheth- or European freight traffic will be able to continue any length of time. As result of the railroad freight embargo, coastwise shipping lines will be unable to accept freight except for terminals and points which can be reached by water.
 Embargoes declared by the rail roads already are having a serious effect on commerce. One of the most serious problems of the steamship lines is a possible shortage of bunker coal.
 While there is in many of the ter minals here sufficient cargo to load ships now in port, vessels on theil way here will face an immediate shortage of cargo. The loss to manufacturers, ship owners, carter CTS and labor it is said, will be tre- mendouS.
 Thousands of manufacturing con. cerns throughout the country which have been supplying the warning ma. tionS abroad with foodstuffs, clothing munitions and other articles, probably will be forced to suspend work.
 Shipments of grain which now are beginning and for which many yes sels have contracted to give cargo space, virtually will be stopped.
