Reasons for Abandonment

Between Chestnut and Natchi- toehes the country is Sparsely settled and the road doe snot serve any towns of size or importance" the comm's- sion said in its report The tributary territory appears to be largely cut over timber land with small agri
 cultural development The only indus
 try of importance along the line is an oil mill at Grand Ecore. The aban- donment of this portion of the road would necessitate the hauling of the product of this mill to the Texas and Pacific railroad at Natchitoches, Il distance of four miles. or to the Louisiana Railway a nd Navigation Company'S railroad at Hagen or Campti. There is public gravel road from Grand Ecore to Natchitoches and to Campti. The town of Chest nut. at the northern end of the line proposed to he abandoned, is served by the Louisiana and Arkansas rail road. and Natchitoches, at the south ern end is served by the Texas and Pacific.

BALLOTS MAILED
 TO R. R. MEN
Big BrotherhOOds Begin Voting on
 Question of Walk0ut.

Cleveland Aug. 2S.-Strike ballots on the acceptance or rejection of the recent S4O0,OO0,000 wage reduction re- gently ordered by the Railroad Labor Board were mailed tonight to 100000 members of the big four brother hoods and the Switchmen's Union of North America.
 The ballots revealed a difference of opinion among the chief executives or the five organizations, the Brother hood O Locomotive Fireman and En- gincmen, Order of Railway Conduct OTIS and the Switchmen using joint ballot. while the Brotherhood of Rail way Trainmen sent out separate ballot
 The trainmen's ballot said it had been the intention of all the organiza- tions to use joint ballot, but that this was impossible because the bal lot adopted by the other organiZa- tions did not in our opinion contain an impartial and unbiased recital of all that is involved. nor did it convey the assurance that the wishes of the men. if against working for reduced wages. would determine the question and that they would be permitted to leave the sirvice."
 The joint ballot said if the men- bership votes to reject the wage re ductionS which became effective July 1. 1021. it is to be understood that the men will be permitted to with draw from the service of their re- spective companies unless satisfactory settlement can be reached under the, law of the organizations
 The proposition which confrontS our members and others" said the trainmen's ballot. carries with it an attempt to reverse that decision of the United States Railroad Labor Board on the wage reduction now in effect since July l, or else persuade or compel the railroad companies to re institute wage rates that the labor board decided should be reduced
 Many gneral charmen at the Chicago meeting on July , favored an immediate vote of the members on the wage cut, and held that if the necessary majority of the membership voted to leave the service that strike should be called forth within an effort to force a restora tion of rates that were in effect on June 30, 1921.
 All members and others are here by notified that if the membership vote is in lawful necessary majority to leave the service rather than con tinue under the reduced wages now in effect, they will on any or all lines where such vote is secured (with the sanction of the General Grievance Committed be given necessary author fly by the president of the Grand Lodge. The president of the Grand Lodge will not (with the information given above) undertake to prevent the wishes of the men as expressed in their ballot from being adhered to"
 The number of artive members of the five organizations. to whom bal lots were mailed was estimated at 150,000 trainmen. 115.0OO firemen. so, GOO engineers, 50000 conductors and 14,000 swtchmen. In addition the
