LOUISVILLE e NASHVILLE SHOP.
MEN ON STRIKE.

AS a result of orders received from
the Federated Railroad Shopmen
headquarters, fifteen machinists and
shopmen employed in the local shops
Of the Louisville & Nashville rail
foad, and in the roundhouse at this
point, quit work Tuesday morning,
The situation is unchanged, with the
men still out and evincing no dispO-
sition to return. The strike, is gen.
eral and is spreading all over the
country.
The purpose of the strike is to en-
force demands made last January
that the wages of shopmen be in
creased twenty-five per cent, which
up to this time, had not been done.
Practically all the shopmen in the
local shops are affiliated with the
CovingtOn branch Of the Railroad
Shopmen's Federation, from where
orders, it is said, came for the strike.
So far the car repairers and other
branches of the service have not gone
on strike here. AS a matter of pre-
caution, extra watchmen have been
placed on guard in the South Paris
yards An embargo on livestock and
perishable goods shipments has been
put into effect locally, the order be-
ing received Wednesday night. The
local officials do not anticipate any
disorder as result Of the strike.

THE ICE SITUATION.

There has been but little change
in the ice shortage in this city, and
our citizens are still experiencing
considerable difficulty in getting a
sufficient supply of the cooling arti-
Gle. Many have gone to Frankfort
and to Carlisle, where they were en-
abled to get a large quantity of ice
from the ice plants and handlers.
Mayor E. B. January received a
telegram yesterday from Covington
to the effect that carload of ice was
being shipped from that point to
this place for the Paris Ice Co., and
that it would reach Paris early in
the morning. This will be distribut-
ed from the car to the Ice Co.'s wag-
ons, from where it will be supplied
to consumers, at least temporarily.
In the meantime the work of sell
ing stock in the new plant proposed
to be built with home capital goes
steadily on, and the determination
seems to be to have that new factory
regardless of what may turn up in
any other direction. Telephone
calls from citizens of the county
have come in repeatedly to the pro
motors, asking that blocks of the
stock be reserved for them, and dis
playing the liveliest interest in the
success of the venture. AS competi
ton is the life of trade so is compe
tition in the ice business in Paris.

SPEED DEMONS.

Determined to break up the prac-
lice of making speedways of the
streets of Paris by automobiles, the
Police Committee of the Paris City
Council has engaged Mr.. Fields, of
Lexington, as special motorcycle
policeman to patrol the streets of
Paris, and arrest all violators of the
automobile ordinances.
Mr.. Fields is an expert cyclist and
has machine equipped with a speci-
ally designed speedometer. He has
Previously acted as motorcycle police
man for Fayette county, where his
work was very successful in reduc-
ing the number of "speed-burners"
on the Lexington and Paris pike.
Especial attention is called to the
fact that the new official has been
instructed to assist the local police in
reporting all violations of the auto
mobile laws, cush as leaving engines
running while owner of machine is
absent, parking on wrong side of
street, backing around corners while
turning, unnecessary use of cut
outs, etc.
Two Bourbon county men were ar
rested by Winchester police this
week on charges of violating the
traffic ordinances. They were Scobee
Hardman, of Austerlitz, and Clay
Sutherland, of Paris. A fine of SIS
and costs was assessed againt each.
Seven violators of the speed laws,
who were caught by the official Sun
day night, were presented in Police
Court yesterday, and fined $3.50
Warrants had been issued for the ar
rest of l.. w. Taylor, Harry Jones, B.
Houston, John Hash, Mark Hendrick
and man from Chopper, in Shelby
bounty. The warrant for the latter
was sent to Shelbyville for service.

CINCINNATI CAPITALISTS MAKE
OFFER FOR LOCAL PLANT.

Mr.. G.. T. Solar, of Cincinnati, pres
ident Of the National Hay & Grain
Co., of that city, was in Paris, Wed
nesday, as a guest of Mr.. Phil Nip
pert, manager of the Paris Ice Man.
ufacturing Co.'s plant. 1t afterward
developed that Solar's visit was one
that has business string connected
to it, and not entirely of a social
nature
Mr.. Solar, who is representing a
number of Cincinnati capitalists, was
here inspecting the local ice plant,
with a view to recommending it's
purchase to his associates, if it could
be shown up as a profitable invest
ment for their capital. Mr.. Solar
stated that the deal for the purchase
has been practically closed, but that
a number of details remain to be de-
termined upon yet. If the deal is
finally completed it is the plan of the
promoters to increase the capital
stock of the Company from $4,000
to $125,000, double the capacity of
the plant, put in new machinery
throughout, and erect new storage
warehouse with a capacity of 1000
tons of ice. The new Improvements
contemplated would be begun about
October 1, and would be completed
about February, 1920, thus giving
ample time to manufacture and fill
the cold storage house before the
real ice season of the spring and
summer of 1920 should begin. Mr.
Solar was very much pleased with his
visit to Paris, which he pronounced
one of the best towns he had come
across in Kentucky.
