Would Draft Military Train G


The lodgrnent in the hands of the
executive of the power, in case of mill
itary necessity, to take control of such
portions OF such rolling stock of the
railways of the country as may be re-
quired for military use and to oper-
ate them for military purposes, with
authroity to draft into the military
service of the United States such
train crews and administrative officials
as the circumstances may require for
their safe and efficient use"
The renewed recommendation for
compulsory investigation of labor dis
putes on railways before strikes or
lockouts are allowed, which aroused
the opposition of the railroad brother
hoods, and the American Federation
of Labor, was defended in the Presi-
dents message. He declared he would
hesitate to recommend a law which
would inforce individual workmen to
continue in an employment which
they desired to leave but that no such
principle was involved in the sugges-
ton that the operation of the railways
of the country should not be stopped
by the concentrated action of bodies
of men until a public investigation
for the benefit of the public has been
instituted.
1T is based upon the very different
principle" he continued, that the
concentrated action of powerful bod
les of men shall not be permitted to
stop the industrial processes of the
nation, at any rate before the nation
shall have had an opportunity to
acquaint itself with the merits of the
case between employee and employer,
time to form its opinion upon an i'm
partial statement of the merits, and
opportunity to consider an practicable
means of Cancellation or arbitration. l
can see nothing in that proposition
but the justifiable safeguarding by
society of the necessary processes of
its very life. There is nothing arbi-
trary or unjust in it unless it be arbi-
trarily and unjustly done. 1t can and
should be done with full and scrup-
ulous regard for the interests and liz.
critics of all concerned as well as for
the permanent interests of society it.

MIR. VIM. Solway and daughter of
Cincinnati, Ohio, are here for few
days, coming down to look after their
property in the Lakeland Highlands,
known as the Cook place, which they
recently purchased. Notwithstanding
that they struck this section during
the hottest spell of the entire year,
they declare Lakeland weather to be
superior to the brand they left be-
hind in Cincinnati. The property
acquired by Mr.. Solway is very de-
sirable, and it is likely they will
soon be so much in love with it that
it will claim their residence during
the greater part of the time if not
the year round.

NO Information
AS TO WHEN
FLORIDA TROOPS
WILL co FORWARD

Will the Second Battery go to the
border to keep vigil along the inter-
national boundary, or will the Flor
ida boys remain in camp on the
banks of the classic st. Johns at
Black Point?
This. is a question nobody here is
able to answer. Yesterday news dis
patches from Washington conveyed
the information that no more troops
would be sent to the border. But at
Black Point no such information has
been received officially, and Colonel
A. H. Blanding, commanding, this
morning stated that preparations for
starting for the border are going
steadily on.
Some time ago Colonel Banding
received instructions to notify the
War Department as quickly as the
regiment was fully equipped. 1t was
indicated that at such time equip
ment would be placed for the regi-
ment to entrain for Ell Paso. Now
that the Second is practically
equipped, the only equipment re-
naming unsupplied being small
number of mosquito bars, 1t appears
| that the date for departure is draw
ing nearer-except for the news dis
patches yesterday.
Whether the orders-the last re-
ceived in regard to movements
will hold good, or whether, at the
last minute when the regiment Is
prepared to step aboard train, the
War Department will give another
countermand, is the question.
Regardless of this uncertainty
however, preparations continue al
Black Point. Colonel Banding this
morning completed a personal in
spection of equipment, finding the
command in good shape in this re
gard.
This morning one battalion wa
commanded to strike camp, which
was done in quick time. AS soon al
the tents were packed and equip
ment gotten together, as 1t would b.
in case of an unexpected order, thu
men were commanded to make camp
which was done with equal speed.
Range practice continues and tn
usual routine of camp life still goe
on. But in their spare moments
the soldiers wonder what is to be
come of them-if they are to stay a
Black Point, where they are perfect
ly contented, or If they Will SCI
border duty. And there is no on
in camp or here who can answer thu
query. Jacksonville Metropolis.
