IN CREEK COUNTY,
MANY IMPROVEMENTS
CONTINUED from Page ~

Bristow has seven cotton gins and
two cotton mills The gins have been
known TO turn out almost $4,000 bales
OF cotton in season, and it is estimated
that with the present prospects for this
season that these gins will handle be-
tween 10000 and 1900 bales this year.
The two mills are of the very latest pat
terms and are generally in operation
from the first of October until the first
of May.
There is but one oil refinery, the Con-
tincntal.
Good Water System.
Bristow has a municipal water plant
which pumps the very best water from
mother earth that is to be found any

A glass factory is under construction,
mostly composed OF local capital, in
corporated for $4,000, and will be ready
for operation about the middle OF Oc-
tober There is a prospect of two more
OF these plants being located in Bris-
tow soon Cheap gas being the prin-
cipal drawing card for this class OF
industrial development This factory
will manufacture bottles only.
Not the least factor in the previous
development OF Bristow has been her
commercial club; and not the least fac
tor in its present advancement is its
present club, whose board OF directors
are ever wide awake to anything that
will add to the future greatness of the
town.

PRESIDENT IS Again PREPARED TO ACT
IN 4. R. CONTROVERSY As U. s..
FACES GREAT INTERNATIONAL CRISIS
W G. Lee Says Entire Membership Will Be Behind De-
mands Which Will be Presented Thursday. Demands
Are Same as Those Made Last Fall When President
Wilson IDterCeded to Avert Strike

Washington, March 13.-Com.
plete plans Of the four railroad
brotherhoods for nationwide
strike to be inaugurated next Satur-
day evening unless the railroads
grant their S-hour day demands
were ratified here today by local
union leaders from Southeastern
territory, and by similar confer
ence of representatives of the
Southwest held at St. Louis.
The brotherhood heads will tell
the railroad conference committee
in New York Thursday that if an
agreement is not reached this week
for the establishment of an 8-hour
basic day with time and half for
overtime, strike orders already is
sued to local organizations will be-
come effective. The demands are
just what they were last fall, when
President Wilson averted strike
after the call was out by including
Congress to pass the Adamson law,
which never has been put into ef-
feet pending a decision on its con-
stitutionality by the Supreme Court.
There is every indication that the
President is prepared to move again
if it becomes apparent that the ma
ton, facing the gravest information
al crisis of its history, is about to
have its transportation facilities
paralized. Although still confined to
his bed by a cold, the President
heard reports during the day from
Secretary Wilson on the plans of
the brotherhoods. There was no
statement as to what action he was
contemplating, but it is understood
to be probable that his employers
and employees reach an agreement
as a patriotic duty.
It became known during the day
The Morgan City daily review. (Morgan City, La.) 1916-1920, 1917-03-14

that March Z the brotherhood chiefs
wrote to the President advising him
of the meeting to be held with the
railroad committee March Is, and
assuring him that if the country
should become involved in war they
would cooperate with the govern
ment in every possible way.
The Southeastern union officials
were told by the brotherhood chiefs
that the strike ordes had been ar
ranged so as to have the walkout
begin on a certain group of roads
at p. m. eastern standing time)
Saturday and gradually extend to
all roads in the country by next
Wednesday.
Each twenty-four hours until
Wednesday new group would be
affected. This progressive system,
the union men say was adopted to
avoid paralyzing traffic suddenly
throughout the entire country, and
to give railroads chance to stop
the strikes sperad by meeting the
union demands if they wish.
It was admitted that the strike
plans disclosed by the railroads con-
ference committee in New York to-
day, were substantially correct, ex-
cept that the Pacific roads to be
affected day by day were not named
accurately. While the brotherhood
leaders would not talk for publica-
tion about their strike arrange
ments, they declared all plans haG
been given unanimous approval by
the sectional meetings so far held
and that similar action was certain
to be taken by other meetings in
New York and st. Paul tomorrow.

Will Celebrate |
2O07H BIRTHDAY
New Orleans Planning to- Fele'
bra!tal France TO take Pa Part

February 9, 1918, New Orleans
will conduct . celebration that will
send its echoes around the world.
France and Canada will send repre-
sentatives, and the state of illinois
and its metropolis, Chicago, will
take prominent part says the Times
Picayune.
The date will mark the bicenten-
nial Of the Winter Capital of Amer
lea. Cadillac, Lespinay and Hubert
had preceded him from France, but
Crozat had given up his patent to
the trade of Louisiana. John Law
then organized his Western COM
pany, September 6, 1777, and Louis
lana was ceded to it four weeks
later. Two weeks after the Beinville
was nominated commandment gen.
eral. On September 27 the Illinois
county, really a country, was added
to Louisiana, and on the first of
October the place that would be de-
cided upon for a capital was christ
ened Nouvelle Orleans.
In November, Beinville fixed up
on the site for the city covered by
plantations, worked by Illinois voy-
aguers. Chicago was already an In
dian trading post, and was on the
map before New Orleans was born.
The cession of Illinois made her
metropolis suburb of this city.
That is the reason why the distant
state and her great and populous
center have been asked to the his
torical homecoming. February 9 was
the climax. Beinville was manned
governor, and received the cross Of !
st. Louis in recognition of his ser :
vices.
