The POWER PLANT
WORKERS STRIKE
Three Employees of City Walk
Out When Council Refuses
to Give Them More Pay

Three members of the power plant
crew, Pierre Titard, D'Avy
and Russell Guidry, walked out on
last Saturday morning, following the
refusal of the city council to grant
them an increase in wages.
The employees requested that their
wages be increased, the city council
asked the employees to wait until the
new council would take its seat in
six weeks before pressing their de-
mands. A general misunderstanding
resulted, and Saturday morning Su-
perintendent Burgess found himself
short of three men.
Mr.. Titard has been working for
the city about seventeen years. His
salary during the past ten years has
been increased twenty-odd dollars
during that time-far short Of the
high cost of living, in his estimation.
The other employees had been in
creased in proportion to Mr. Titard.
Mr. Guidry voluntarily returned to
work on last Thursday afternoon.

REP AIRS FOR THE

sUPT. W. E. BURGESS TAKES
COUNCIL ON TOUR OF IN
sPEcTIoN ON FRIDAY
NEW ENGINE IS REQUIRED
City Stands Chance of Having Com.
plete Shutdown of Power Plant
and Inefficiency Wiped Out

The condition in which Sueprin-
tendent W. E. Burgess, recently ap-
pointed, took over the city electric
light and water works plant, is con-
sidered critical. On top of the de-
lapidated condition of the plant, sew
eral of the employees went out on a
strike because the ETY. authorities did
not grant their repeated demands for
increased wages.
The new superintendent took the
city council and mayor to the plant
Friday for thorough inspection be-
fore he would take charge of the
plant. 1t was found that immediate
repairs were needed. One of the en-
gines is practically worthless; a sec
ond one is in very poor shape and
must be repaired Immediately; while
the third one needs some attention
also. The plant as whole is in de-
plorable condition, and Opelousas
stands splendid chances of being
without electric light service.
Saturday afternoon several of the
employees walked out, after the city
authorities declined their request for
more wages. On Monday morning
Superintendent Burgess closed down
the plant for repairs and the city was
without lights the entire day and
without water more than half of the
day. Late Monday night the lights
were put on and water furnished, but
Tuesday another breakdown caused
the plant to shutdown for several
hours, and again Tuesday night ev-
erybOdy went to bed by lamp light.
The service is now improved and af-
ter heroic efforts on the part of Su-
perintendent Burgess, Alderman Stel-
" and several employees Of the city
plant, residents are assured of the
best possible service under the very
stressing circumstances.
In all probabilities an engine with
sufficient horsepower to take care of
the entire load viii be ordered as
soon as the new administration goes
into office. To remedy present evils
the.ci council authorized the super
intendent to order parts for immedi-
ate repairs of one of the engines, so
that a complete shutdown Of the
plant might be avoided.
Mr.. Burgess feels confident that
he viii have the situation wen in
hand in few days and as soon as the
needed repairs are made he believes
that the city plant viii furnish eff
cient service.

ST. LANDRY BANK

SIX OR EIGHT STORY BUILDING
MAY HOUSE BIGGEST FINAN-
CIAL INSTITUTION OF CITY
FINEST IN THIS SECTION
Authentic Report is Heard That op-
eIousas VIII Soon Have Modern

1t was authentically reported on
Wednesday afternoon that the st.
Landry Bank and Trust Company
would shortly let out the contract for
the erection of six or eight story
building, which will compare favor
ably with the finest banking build
ings in this state.
The St. Landry Bank and Trust
Company, since the consolidation of
the ST. Landry State and the Peoples
State banks, has grown by leaps and
bounds and is now considered one of
the strongest banks, with capital and
surplus considered, in the United
States. 1t has crossed the two-million
mark and has found it necessary to
add to its force right along. Jeff
Hawkins, popular young citizen of
Bayou Chicot, who was educated at
the Opelousas high school, is the lat
est to be added to the efficient force
of the big bank, assuming the duties
of his position on Wednesday morn
ing last.
1t has bee nrumored for some time.
that the St. Landry Bank and Trust
Company was contemplating the erec-
ton Of a new home The present
quarters are entirely too inadequate
for big bank, and as this institu-
ton is growing so rapidly, it is un-
derstood that the board of directors
has decided to take care of the fu-
ture by the erection of building that
would be a credit to an institution
such as the St. Landry Bank, and be
at the same time a monument to the
thriftiness and growth Of 0pelousas.
New vaults and new furniture win al
so be installed and several stories of
the proposed new building win be
used for offices.

Farmer Takes Advertising
Space by the Year

Not long ago a South Dakota farm

Stepping into the editors office he
announced briskly Il want to contract
for some space in your paper weekly
for the coming year"
The editor gasped but then smiled
happily.
Il always have something to sell
or trade or else want to buy some
thing, the farmer continued, "and
so | want this space reserved for me.
That win save my running to town
every time have an advertisement
to insert. Regular advertising is the
sort that gets results" +"
That editor is losing no opportuni-
ty to point out that in one very real
sense a farmer is a business man and
can promote his business by intelli-
gent systematic advertising.
