1t was said in these dispatches last
week that wage reductions in the
building trades in the city proper
were likely to come about through
throwing up a bulwark of lower scales
in nearby communities and then strik-
ing inside this bulwark. Evidence of
the accuracy of this forecast is to be
found in the fact that the process has
now appeared in collateral industries.
LaborerS in the brick yards up the
Hudson river have just been notified
that their pay is to go back to the

Beginning at the little mining town
OF Merrimac, four miles up the Tug
river from here, a fusillade of shots
was poured from the mountain side
successfully into Merrimac, Rawl,
Sprigg and Matewan, w. Va, and
McCarr, Ky.
All available state police and depu-
; ty sheriffs centered in Williamson
were rushed to the scene by train
and automobile, but according to re-
ports they have been unable to check
the shooting.
Harry C. Station, state prohibition
officer and merchant at Sprigg, was
killed by bullet from the mountains,
and Noah Phillips and young man
named Calvert, employees of the White
Star Coal Company commissary at
Merrimac, have been seriously wound
ed. Rumors of other killings and
woundings have been received at
headquarters of the state police here,
but at late hour had not been con-
frmed.
A little handful of state police,
about 20 in number, is reported work
ing its way over the mountains be-
tween Merrimac and Rawl, seeking to
get above and outfank the hidden
foe. This force is led by Capt. ]. r.
Brockus, commander of the state po-
lice in the Williamson district. A
score of deputy sheriffs under Chief
Deputy John S. Hall, are cooperating
with Captain Brockus and his men.

Facilitated Meltina Of Snow.

Automobile highways which cross
the Sierra Nevada mountains of Cali
fornia are usually closed to traffic
as late as June on account OF the slow
melting Of the deep snow which covers
the higher levels. In order to ac-
celerate the melting Of the snow and
thus to expedite the opening Of the
highways, the experiment was made
this spring Of scattering black soil
and ashes on snow which covered the
highways. AS a result of the increased
absorption of solar heat the snow
melted rapidly, and the roads were
opened several weeks earlier IMAM
would otherwise have obtained.
