when all shop workers and car repair
ers employed in the local Louisville

out. Their action was reflection OF
the big strike at Albany, Ala, where
1000 men went on strike at the main
shops of the line.
About 20 men are employed here
in this line of work and It is under
stood that all of them yalked out.
Local shopmen, it is understood,
will be governed largely by the ac-
tion of the larger body of workmen
at Albany where it was stated by union
leaders that the walkout will be made
permenent until all matters now pend
ing are settled satisfactorily to the
railway crafts employees.
The effect of the strike here has
been to cause an embargo on all
freight shipments destined beyond the
local division. with the exception of
foodstuffs for human beings, according
to William Shields, freight agent. Pas
senger trains on this division are
moving practically on schedule.

Nine Months of
Coal Supply at
Local Ice Plant

Columbia and Maury county will
not have an ice famine as the result
of the railroad tie up. That crafty
ing assurance was given The Herald
this morning by Manager Kloepfer, of
the Columbia Ice & Cold storage Co.,
who stated that his company had coal
enough on hand in the wards to run
the plant through the fall and winter,
He estimated that the plant had a
nine months supply of coal on hand.
By the time that is exhausted proba-
bly, the labor unions or congress will
have surrendered.
However, ice is short because of the
exceptionally hot weather and the un-
precedented demand but the ice plant
is being run night and day in an, ef-
fort to make as much as possible.
The cold storage space is available
to the farmers and produce dealers OF
the county to save perishable pro,
ducts that cannot be shipped to mar
ket because ot the embargo on all
freight shipments.

SERIOUS THOUGHT OF BEST
OF. STATESMEN. I
DECLARES LIEUT.. j. N. HAYSE
Europe In Awful Plight and RevoIu-
ry countian Just Back From Ser
vice Overseas.

Lieut.. Joseph M. Hayse, of the
American Expeditionary Forces, has
returned to his native heath, having
been hon0rably discharged from the
army after a service of twenty seven
months. Mr.. Hayse was one of the
first Maury countians to volunteer for
to France about year ago and for
the past four months he has been sta
toned in Paris. He was one of the
aids to the police force in handling
the crowds at the time of the peace
conference. Lieut. Hayse has a fine
knowledge of French and acted as an
interpreter. During the period of hos.
tilities he was attached to the Thirty
Fifth Infantry.
There is but one remedy for exist
ing conditions said Lieut.. Hayse this
morning, "and that is more work. Ey-
eryone must work Conditions in Eu-
rope are terrible. Everything is un-
settled and predictions of revolutions
are daily made. find in this country
a similar spirit of unrest and discon-
tent that bodies no good for our insti-
tutions. The idea that the awful havic
wrought by the war can be repaired
without more labor is not only falla-
cious but most dangerous doctrine
Idleness is a breeder of discomfort
The world is already reeling under
the great blow struck by the war and
it cannot be restored unless everyone
goes to work. We who are returning
from Europe find that many of the
problems that must be solved by the
statesmen over there must be solved
here il genuine democracy is to be
saved and our institutions are to con-
tinue to bless the people of this and
succeeding generations"
Mr. Hayse was mormerly a member
o fthe Columbia bar and while he has
not had time to mature plans for the
future he will probably again enter
upon the practice of his profession.
