Nationwide Railroad
Strike Threatened.

A nationwide railroad strike, per-
haps the greatest this country has
ever experienced is threatened.
Four national unions, embracing
practically all branches of the oper-
ating departments, have made a
united demand for an eight hour day
and an advance in the scale of wages.
An army of $4,000 employees is in
volved in this demand, and the de-
mand is such that the railroads must
surrender or else fight, for the em-
ployes have instructed their repro
sentatives to accept no compromise,
agree to nothing in tie way of arbi-
tration and participate in no debate
upon the merits of the demand.
The employees Immediately con-
cerned are engaged in train service.
They include all the engineers, fire.
men, conductors and train mans. They
have, Of course, the power 70 call
transportation to halt on every line in
the country. In their behalf it is pro-
tested that the railroads are making
money enough to meet the extra ex-
pense entailed.
The railroads are following the ex-
ample set, which is to say, they also
are lining up for the fight. They have
established a publicity bureau. They
expect to be able to prove to the salts
faction Of the public that the demands
are exorbitant. They say that the en-
ployes making them are now rece1v-
ing $70,000,000 year more than they
did four years ago and that while they
are but 10 per cent. of the whole army
they absorb 2S per cent. of the payroll
They declare that many of the en-
gineers "are higher paid than bank
presidents in the smaller communities
through which they run"
It is not to be disputed that the
carrying corporations are emerging
from the Slough OF despond." They
have begun to share in the general
prosperity. According to a computa-
ton by the Financial Chronicle, their
net earnings for November show an
increase of more than $50,O00,O00,
which is a remarkable showing.
The railroad laborer is worthy OF his
hire. The public viii stand behind
him in any reasonable and fair de-
mand. It does not appear to be reas-
enable or fair to pursue the course the
"aristocrats of the rail" have taken.
They have left nothing open to dis
cussion.

France Buys Agricultural
Implements In America.

It is not only for shells, rifles and
other munitions of war that the allies
are turning to the United States.
France, at least, Is in urgent need of
agricultural implements and must de-
pend upon this country to furnish
them. What is of added interest is
the fact that it is the French women
and children who will use these inn
plements. The men are at the front,
fighting; it is upon the mothers, wives
and widows, and the girls and boys
from ten to eighteen years of age
that France must depend in a large
measure for the planting and har-
vesting of her crops.
1t is in the invaded sections or
Northern France that these nipple
ments are most needed. This fact is
emphasized in recent communication
from the American Relief clearing
house in Paris which keeps closely IN
touch with the conditions and needs
in France through the medium of per-
sonal investigation.

Pensacola the Ideal
Convention City.

That Pensacola is the ideal conven-
ton city is a fact beyond dispute and
fortunately it is being realized by
those who have attended conventions
in this city during the past year or
more.
Gatherings of the convention char
acter are good for city. They are
the very best advertisements, for ev-
cry person attending goes away with
a good word for the city. At least
that has been the experience of PEN
sacola, and it is because The Deep
Water city is the ideal in every par
ticular that it is now becoming known
throughout the United States.
During the past twelve months
more conventions have been held and
a larger number of visitors brought
here than any three previous years
combined, and furthermore still others
have selected Pensacola as their meet
ing place. The next to come viii be
the Alabama Bankers Association. To
hold their meeting in Pensacola the
bankers have departed from their GUS
tom of never holding convention out
side of their own state and it is there
fore essential that their stay be made
so pleasant that they win never nave
cause to regret selecting Pensacola
for their f916 convention.

Hate to Lose Stoke

The many friends of Hon. John P.
Stokes in Milton are expressing re-
grets that he is soon to sever his con
nection with the circuit court of this
circuit; as its very efficient prosecut-
ing attorney. Mr.. Stokes has GER
tainly "made good" in the position he
has so ably filed fer several years.
He is an able attorney, and thorough
ly conscientious and fearless in per-
forming the unpleasant duties that
have often come up for prosecution.
He has at all times commanded the
respect of the court, the opposing
counsel and the general public. He
has been, indeed a man to be dreaded
by those who would violate the laws
of the state. AS he is retiring from
Office at the expiration of this term,
we take this opportunity of express
ing our appreciation Of his many SER
vices to this judicial circuit-Milton

National Party,s Say

NatonaI Party's Say
According to the logic of some of
the directors to the resolutions passed
by the state executive committee it is
very proper to require that all who
participate in Democratic primary
agree to support the candidates of
the party, but it is not at all proper
to exclude those from the primary
who have already bound themselves
to vote against candidates If they
chance to be of acertain prescribed
faith. The National Democratic
party has had its say on that very
proposition.-Miami Herald.

BASKET BALL

The basket ball game last Saturday
night in the High School Gymnasi-
UNI, between the High School and
Eighth grade teams of Pennington
and Desloge, resulted in a victory and
defeat for each team. The High
School won their game by a close
score; the Eighth grade lost after a
hard fight.
The Eighth grade boys put up a
good game, but We're up against a
hard proposition. In fact one of Des-
loge's Eighth grade men proved to be
the fastest man on the court that
night. Desloge won by superior foo:
work, quicker and more accurate pass
ing, while their goal shooting was
equally as good as Pennington. The
game was well played, Clearly fought
and good spirit was shown through
out.
The High game was well fought
out contest. Burks at forward, was
able to get away again and again,
and as a result netted several pretty
baskets. Grow played a good pass
ing game, as usual, and threw in a
couple of field goals besides. Johns
at center, came to himself in the Sec
ond half, out-jumped his larger OPP
ponent. thereby enabling Farming
ton to use to better advantage her
team work. Akers at guard played a
hard game and succeeded in break
ing up many plays. But it remained
for Fleming, the other guard, to show
a flash Of real "stuffs when he played
for the last five minutes on a very Sc
we're sprain, and no one was the wiser.
Altogether it was well played game,
good spirit was shown, and the large
crowd present seemed to enjoy the
contest.

SMALL FIRE

Yesterday about noon smoke was
discovered coming out of the kitchen
roof of r. P. Lang's residence. The
fire department with its hose was there
within five minutes after the alarm
was sounded, but even before it ar
rived the fire was held in check with
neighbours lawn hose. The fire was
soon extinguished with some damage
to the roof and considerable to the
kitchen by water. The city water
works and our efficient Fire Depart
ment have saved our people many

AthleticAss' citation

The st. Francois County Athletic
and 0ratorical Association held a
business meeting in Bonnie Terre on
last Saturday afternoon and made def
mite arrangements for the coming
track meet and declamatory contests.
1t was decided to hold the declama-
tory contest in Desloge on Saturday
night, April 22nd. All Hhigh Schools
Of the county are entitled to two rep
resentatives, one in the boys contest
and one in the girls contest. AS SUI
ual the contestants representing the
different schools are to be selected by
local preliminary contests. No dec
lamation or recitation shall be more
than twelve minutes in length, and
any such part requiring more than
the given time shall be disqualified
by the judges of the contest. All en-
tries to the declamatory contest should
be sent to Supt. H. L. Jones, Desloge,
not later than Wednesday, April 49,,
in order that time may be allowed for
the publication of the program.
The track and field meet will be
held on the track at Bonnie Terre as in
the past. Their excellent track is still
in good condition, but this years meet
will probably be the last to be held
on that famous old battle-ground, as
the st. Joseph Lead Company needs
the location for a settling pond for
their lead works. The date of the
meet was fixed for Saturday, April
Goth, beginning at 1870 p. M, as us
ual.
The Association has ordered the pur-
chase of three stop-watches, and three
steel tape measures in order that the
records made in the meet may be Of
fcially recorded. The Association
will also provide a starters pistol
for the track events.
None of the High Schools interest
ed has an overwhelming bunch of
seasoned athletes to carry off all the
honors as has been the custom often
in the past, and there is much specu-
lation as to which school will win the
meet. For that reason the various
contests will be unusually interesting
and should draw great crowd.

Two Prospective
Candidates

Clarence E, Marshall and Thos. A

Pennington Monday and made TIT
Times office an enjoyable visit. Boil
of these gentlemen are enterprisine
and prominent citizens of our neigh

not only by their many friends
throughout the Lead Belt, but by
friends in different parts of the coun.
ty, to enter the list Of Democratic
aspirants for office at the next pri-
mary Neither has yet consented 10
throw their hats in the ring" but
both intimated they would perhaps
soon decide on the course they would
pursue, and whatever that decision
may be will then be given to the pub
lie.
Strong influence has been brought
to bear ON Mr.. Marshall to make the
race for Representative, as his friends
believe him to be especially we'll quail
flied to represent st. Francois county
in the Legislature in most credita-
BILE manner. He is at present engaged
in the insurance and real estate bus
mess, having formerly accomplished
considerable success as school super
lintendent in that district. He is ac,
knowledged to be Give wire7 in that
lively little city.
Strong pressure is already being
brought to bear on Mr.. Mathews to
persuade him to enter the race for
Prosecuting Attorney, for which po-
sition no one has yet announced on
the Democratic ticket. He is good
lawyer, in full vigor of young man
hood, and the friends who are insist
ing on him announcing for this office
say no better selection could possibly
be made to look after the best in
terests of the county.
Both are stalwart Democrats, full
of vim and energy, and would doubt
less add strength to the Democratic
ticket. The Times hopes to be able to
keep its readers informed as to what
verdict these gentlemen arrive at as
soon as their decisions are made.
