TRA|NMtN APPEAR
 CERTAIN 10 STRIKE APPEALS TO PATRIOTISM
Of Brotherhood Members are Made by National Committee, in Hope
 of Averting Tie-Up.

New York, March 15.-An appeal to the patriotism of the members of the four great railroad brotherhoods to refrain from any rash move" which would bring on industrial war fare in the present national crisis, was made here last night by the National Conference Committee of Railways, on the eve of the confer ence today with the chiefs of the trainmen's organizations. There were additional indications, however, that the bOtherhoods are determined to call a strike unless their demands are granted.
 After a meeting with several hun dred general chairmen and chairmen of the locals in the brotherhood or ganizations, on lines entering New York, w. c. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, announced that unanimous support had been voted the brotherhood chiefs in the demands they intend to make at today's conference. These de- mands, he said, will be based on the modified demands of last December, which called for basic eight-hour work day and pro rata pay for over time.
 This is practically what the Adam son law would give if put in force, he said.
 The original program of the men, the refusal of which resulted in the call last September of the strike which was averted by the passage of the Adamson act, included an eight hour basic day with time and a half for overtime. MT. Lee indicated that there is no intention of going back to the original claims.
 He admitted that recent forecasts of a progressive countrywide strike beginning Saturday night at o'clock unless the railroads accede to the

MANY APPLICANTS
 TAKE EXAMINATION

More. than 100 applicants appear ed today before County Examiner A. A. Parsons to take the regular quar- terly examinations for teachers li- censes, the class being one of the largest on record in the county Prof. Julius Gray of Guy is assisting in holding the examinations. The examinations will continue through Friday and it will require two or three weeks to complete the grading of the papers, Prof. Parsons said.
 On Saturday meeting will be held at the courthouse for the purpose of organizing county teachers as- sociation. A large attendance is ex- pected.
 County Examiner Parsons is serv- ing his first year as principal of the Mt. Vernon public school. That he is giving satisfaction is evidenced by the fact that the board of directors has elected him for another year at an increased salary.

referred to the change of attitude to the voice of the people, and the dis satisfaction which has resulted over the selection.
 "lf primary is good now, why was it not good for the people in se- lecting a United States senator ?" Committeeman Hawthorne of Jones' boro, asked of Capt. R. R. Rice, who had just completed patriotic Democratic speech in favor of let ting the people rule.
 "Shut up and sit down!" was the answer, accompanied by a wave of the hand as though to force his com mand.
 A half dozen women, led by Mrs. Frank Gibb, head of the suffrage par ty of Pulaski county, sat through the entire meeting. They were forced to endure tobacco smoke which hung in clouds, the men evi- dently accepting the women as their equals in things other that political.

PRIMARY CALLED SATURDAY, APR.l4 SufFRACISIS SHUT OUT Central Committee Decides to Hold Primary for Constitutional
 Delegates.

Little Rock, March 15.-A primary will be held by the Democratic party on Saturday, April IA, for the pur- pose of selecting nominees for the constitutional convention, and no can didate shall pay more than $5 to get his name on the ticket. This was de-
 cided at a lengthy session of the State Central Committee Wednesday afternoon at the hotel Marion. The committee declined to listen to the plea of the committee from the suf- fragists who sought to have the pri- mary postponed until June 6, by which time they expect to be par ticipating in primary elections.
 The committee was divided on the primary question. Many of the del egates thought that it was placing the constitution to be adopted by the convention in jeopardy by holding a primary, and resolution was offered to leave the matter to the county central committees. This was sub- stitute for a resolution calling for primaries. The substitute lost 22 to 5. It was argued that there was not time for a primary, that the ex- pense of a primary would be too great to tempt the best men to make the race, and that it would create dissension in the ranks. It was final ly agreed to pledge the nominees, and and to let the defeated ones with draw. The county committees are expected to secure election officials who will serve without cost. The $5 is to pay for printing the tickets.
 The committeeman who forced the primary this time, were largely the same lot who at the last meeting of the committee refused to permit a primary to select United States senator. This was frequently re- farrad to in the speeches. and in uueS-

MACHINE GUN co.
 IS PROBABLE, HERE
ORGANIZATION TO BEGIN
Dr. J. Z. Bailey, Formerly of Regular Army, Seeks to Enlist Company at Conway.

The organization of a machine gun company in Conway, under the direc- tion of the Arkansas National Guard, is probable, according to Dr. J. z. Bailey, who has just received let ter from Lloyd England of Little Rock, adjutant general of Arkansas, in which the officer states that this lefty has good chance to secure the company.
 In order to receive financial as- sistance from the United States gov ernment, it is necessary for Arkan- sas to organize 12 new companies of militiamen. Thus far, Conway is the only town in the state to ask for a machine gun company, it is said.
 Should the company be organized here, it would bring from $1O,OOO to $15,000 a year to Conway. Each en- listed private would receive one fourth of the regular army pay. Six hundred dollars a year would be all lowed for armory rental, besides a sum for incidental expenses. The company would include 65 men.
 Dr. Bailey, who has served three years in the regular army, is slated for the captaincy. In talking to a reporter for the Log Cabin Democrat today, Dr. Bailey said: Indications point to the organization of a ma chine gun company here. General England seems eager for the organ ization. We expect to begin at once the work of recruiting. As only 65 men are required, it should not re- quire very long to enroll full com pany.
 "The armory that houses our par aphernalia will be modern in every particular, conforming to the regular army requirements. It will contain, besides drill room, reading room, baths, gymnasium, pool tables and private steel lockers and will be kept open at all times for members. We expect to make it regular club house."
 Those who desire to enlist should see Dr. Bailey at his office in the Tydings building, or Theodore Smith at S.. G. Smiths store. Each appli- cant should be between the ages of IS and 45 years, be able to read and write English and must be sound in mind and body.

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.
 Little Rock, March 15.-Plans for the erection of the main building of the Arkansas State Normal School, for which an appropriation of $100,- 900 was made by the legislature, were discussed at called meeting of the Normal board of trustees held in the office of Chairman J. l.. Bond at the capitol today.
 Governor Brough was present at the meeting and assured the board that the item for the building would not be vetoed. As the appropriation bill specifically makes this item i'm mediately available, the governor said that it would be included in the deficiency bond issued along with the other deficiencies of the state.
 The board decided to meet again March 27 for the purpose of receiv- ing proposals from architects for the plans and supervision of the building. It is the purpose of the board to start work on the building at the earliest possible moment and to have it com pleted so that it may be used for at least part of the 1917-18 session.
 The board also adopted a resolu- tion to meet again on April 15 to hold an election for a faculty. All members of the board were in attend ance at today's meeting.
 It was rumored in Conway early today that the election of a presi- dent would be taken up at today's meeting of the board. Over the long distance telephone Prof. B. w. Tor reyson, secretary of the board, how ever, informed the Log Cabin Demo- crat that the presidency of the in- stitution was not discussed in the meeting.
