Textile Workers Up Against
Manufacturers Blacklist.

Members of the Textile Wor&-
ers' Union inform the PRESS that
they are up against the manufac
turers' black list In Hamilton. Sew
eral of the girls went around 70 the
different factories where girls are
employed and where the factories
have been advertising for help.
They say that in several Of these
factories they asked for employ
ment aud that their names were
taken by some of the Office force
and with the promise that they
would let them know. They were
later notified that they were not
needed and it was very plain 70 the
girls that the factories investigated
and found they were former en-
ployes of the Shuler aud Benning
hofen Wooden Mills.
Some of the girls have left tie
city end are holding positions that
pay them more money than they
received at the Wooden Mills and
more of them will leave in a few
days. The Shulers and the Ben
ninghofens are trying everything
possible to defeat the textile work
ers in their grievance for recogni.
ton. The black list against these
girls will not effect the strike in
the least and the girls are as deter
mined now as they were the day
they went out to win their fight
against organized capital
The introduction Of the black
list by the manufacturers against
the textile workers is evidence oil
them having an organization o.
their own, but in their unfair atti
tude they deny these girls the right
to organize for bettering their con
ditions. The factories hat are put
ting the black list into effect, vii
in the near future realize that they
are ma ing a serious mistake

In Speech Says He Called
Special Session Regardless
Of Its Effect on Himself.
GOES TO LINCOLN MEET
Speaks In Lexington at the
Dedication Of a High
School.

Louisville, KY, Feb. 12.-Gover-
nor Stanley delivered an address Fri
day afternoon at the dedication of the
new Falconer high school, near Lex
ington, addressed a business mems
meeting that night in Lexington, and
later departed, accompanied by some
of the most noted educators in the
state, for the Lincoln Memorial Uni
versity celebration at Cumberland
Gap, Tenn. The Lincoln celebration
at Cumberland Gap will continue
through three days and the governors
and leading educators from number
of states will be present to make ad-
dresses. The New York and other
eastern delegations will journey to
Cumberland Gap in special trains.
In his address before the Lexing-
ton Rotary club, Governor Stanley
made a staunch defense of the CLASH
fication of property for levy purposes
as necessary for industrial develop
ment.
'No self-seeking politician, said
governor, would have the courage
to call the legislature of Kentucky in
to special session, and, consulting my
own mind, would not have done so;
but realizing the necessity Of giving
the general assembly an opportunity
to revise the tax laws of the state,
took it upon myself to give it that OPP
portunity, regardless of personal or
political fortunes.

Vigorous Protest Against the
Submarine Warfare Prom
Uses Action in Future.
TO WITHDRAW MINISTER'S
Diplomatic intercourse Will
Follow if German Program
is Carried Out.

Paris, Feb. 12.-China has entered
a vigorous protest to Germany's sub
marine policy, saying:
eff, contrary to expectation, this
protest be ineffective, China will be
constrained, to its profound regret, to
sever diplomatic relations. II is I'M
necessary to add that China's action
is dictated by a desire for further
peace and the maintenance of inter-
national law"
WILL TAKE ACTION IN FUTURE.
A communication explanatory of
China's action also was handed to
DR.. Paul S. Reinsch, American min
lister to China. II follows:
"China, like the president of the
United States is reluctant to believe
the German government will actually
execute measures which imperil the
lives and property of the citizens of
neutral states and jeopardize legiti-
mate commerce and which tend, if al
lowed to be enforced without opposi-
ton, to introduce new principles into
international law. China being in ac-
cord with the principles set forth in
your excellency's note and firmly as
sociating itself with the United States,
has taken similar action by protesting
theoretically to Germany against the
new blocade measures China also
proposes to take such other action in
the future as will be deemed neces-
sary for maintaining the principles of
international law"

FOR
POULTRY WORK
Agents Chaplin and Slade
Find Situation Very
Promising.
DEMAND FOR CLUB EGGS
Not Only In Christian But
From Many Other
Counties.
DEMAND FOR CLUB EGGS

A. S. Chaplin and D. D. Slade,
poultry agents from the Agricultural
department, were here last week
outlining the club work for this year.
The Fiscal Court has authorized the
retention of Mrs. EloiSe Graves and
the good work she did last year in
standardizing White Wyandottes is
bearing fruit Madison, Todd, Trigg
and Caldwell counties will breed
some of the same fowls this year and
will rely upon the club members from
Christian county to sell them White
Wyandotte eggs
Last year between $500 and 5000
White Wyandotte eggs were used for
Matching purposes in this county. This
year, according to MesSrs. Slade and
Chaplin, there will be at least 10000
to 25,oDO eggs used in this county
alone.
Last year the Acme Mills gave away
1000 eggs. The Planters Bank e.
Trust company loaned money without
interest to boys and girls who were
without funds to buy their initial set
ting of eggs Quite tidy sum was
thus put out and up to this time only
three have failed to repay the amount.
This year Messrs. Chapln and Slade
say they feel sure several thousand
eggs will be offered for free distribu-
ton in order to help the work along
in this county. Already the Fox
Brothers Company has agreed to give
away 500 settings of Is eggs each,
and other concerns will doubtless
help the work along in some way.
The club raisers of last year will
find a ready demand for every egg
they have to sell from their properly
mated pens The sale of eggs for
Matching purposes by many of the 80
boys and girls in the clubs of 1916,
will open the eyes of the public to
the possibilities of poultry raising in
the county.
Christian county bids fair TO be
known far and wide as the Home of
White Wyandottes.

ROAD MATTERS
ARE DISCUSSED
AT a Meeting Of the H. B. M.
A. Last Friday
Night

The Hopkinsville Business Mems
Association head meeting Friday
night and the question Of road build
ing was the principal matter under
discussion. The present situation in
regard to the contracts entered into
by the Road Commission ~ expend
the bond money was discussed at
length. So much mileage has been at
tempted that the roads to be construc-
ed Will not be standard roads in
width or thickness on nlany roads.
1t was the general opinion that the
roads built should be shortened and
made good roads as far as the money
will go. The contracts do not call
fer completed roads, properly ditched,
and a considerable amount of the
funds must be used to ditch the roads,
in some instances the cost being as
high as $40 a mile. In some places
this has to be done more than once,
as property owners fill up the bitches
TO make driveways into their gates,
instead of putting drain pipes across
the entrances, as required by law.
This throws the water across the
pixies and much damage is thus caus-
ed. The II. b. M. A. expressed a
willingness to cooperate in any way
possible to aid the Commission
ers in meeting these obstacles.
II also renewed the pledge to the
Turney-Day-Woolworth plant on yir-
ginia street to see that the plant had a
macadamized approach from Virginia
street.
