COTTON HANDS
WIN WAGES BY STRIKE

COLUMBUS, Miss, July -. (spl.)-
The strike which forced the Tombigbee
Cotton mills to close down Monday
came to a speedy termination, having
ended yesterday, when President Il, M.
Shropshire, who was absent when the
operatives quit work, returned to the
city-and quickly adjusted the matter,
While the entire plant was closed down,
the strike was confined to operatives
in the spinning room, who demanded an
increase of 80 per cent in their wages.
The demand was not granted in its en-
tirety. but a compromise was effected
whereby an average advance of 12h per
cent was agreed upon, operatives in
the spinning room having had their
wages advanced Is per cent, while those
in other departments were raised 10
per cent. The Tombigbee mills have
been in operation more than 80 years,
having been established here in 1887,
and this was the first time that a strike
had forced the plant to close down.

PAPERS
OPPOSE LONDON
TRIAL Of KAISER

LONDON, July 12.-Predictions that
the project to bring the former German
emperor to trial in England will be
abandoned are growing in view of the
almost unanimous opposition of the
newspapers OF all parties. Virtually all
the leading papers, with the exception
OF the Northcliffe Press, are denounc-
ing the plan.
The Northcllffe papers have taken no
stand, but print many letters from
prominent persons opposing the trial.
The influential weekly reviews all OPP
pose or deride the project of bringing
the former emperor from Holland.
Walter Runciman, former member of
the cabinet, writes:
Feeling in this country is justifiably
bitter against the kaiser. Indeed, it is
so bitter that the public might take
the law into their own hands and lynch
him."
The Saturday Review says: 1T is a
mistake of taste, a want of tact. Lon
don is the last place In the world that
ought to have been chosen; first, be-
cause the English are the chief enemies
Of the Germans, according to the Ger
mans; secondly. because London Is the
court of William of H~ohenzollern's
cousin and the home Of his illustrious
Granddaughter: thirdly, because William
has often been our guest. King George
and the emperor must, M their younger
days, have lived in some intimacy"
The New Statesman says: Let us
hope that the Dutch government will
cut the knot for us and save us from
the blunder of reinstating the last of
the HohenZollerns in the hearts of his
disillusioned fellow c%ountrymen,"
The Nation says: british opinion
has spoken 80 clearly that Holland is
likely to feel no hesitation in doing her
duty as q neutral. We imagine that Mr.
Lloyd George may even be grateful to
the convenient neutral who will save
| him from the obligation Of redeemine
his election pledge"
