THEY PREVENT FACTORY AT

REBUILDING

Pass Christian. Miss, March =
Some time ago an account was print
ed that the Dunbar-Lopez & Dukote
Company was to rebuild their plant
at the Pass after the September
storm and to enlarge their plant two
fold. The proviso was that the alder
men and citizens of Pass Christian
would work for the reduction OF the
state oyster tax and provided they
would help the company otherwise
This proposal was accepted by the
aldermen, who passed resolutions me-
lnorialzing the legislature to reduce
the said tax
The whole proposition, which in
Guided the building of a sea wall
around the plant at Pass Christian,
has now fallen through, for the rea-
son that a number Of the millionaire
residents" Of the Pass, of which there
are twenty-one, served notice on the
canning company that if they started
work on further canning plants at the
Pass they would be met with an in
junction. The canning company there

Labor Troubles Settled.

The labor troubles that have existed
here, to some extent, for the last
month or so, have been practically
settled. as all the plants have resumed
operations and apparently everything
has been moving along smoothly and
well. II. c. Corcoran, Of Wheeling,
claiming to represent the American
Federation of Labor, came here a few
days ago for the purpose, he main
tained Of adjusting labor conditions
at the Dodge clothespin factory. This
plant had been operating as usual. and
Mr.. Dodge, the superintendent and
general manager of tho concern, re-
fused TO recognize or have anything to
do with MIR. Corcoran. 1t is under
stood that the city council refused to
allow Mr.. Corcoran the use Of the city
hall for the purpose Of holding meet
ings. A number of meetings have,
however. been held at the union hall
but so far no strike has been called.
j. II. Nightingale, state labor commits
sioner, was called by representatives
Of the American Federation OF Labor
and after careful inspection OF con-
ditlons at the Dodge plant, reported
things-in good shape there.

pair Of mules taken care of for a day

the other by a halter. He came across
Cold Knob and said he was from vir-
