REQUEST MADE THAT STRIKE
BREAKERS BE DISCOURAGED
FROM COMING TO PARAGOULD
Continued From Page one)

I striking shopmen, 1t was announced,
would conduct a session at which the
situation would be discussed but no
report of the gathering had reached
The Press office at the time of going
to press.
According to apparently authentic
information, the Missouri Pacific
Company has supplied car living
quarters in the yard consisting of
four or five bunking and boarding
cars. One source stated that the
cars had been sent here in due
course of railway service. while it
was suggested from other sources
that the quarters were provided in
of non-union workmen who would
be sent here to operate the shop now
at a standstill on account of the
strike that went into effect July /.
1t is almost impossible to gather
authentic information relative to the
situation, from the railroads point
of view, and the ONLY reports that
are accessible are those of a frag-
mcntary nature that fly about in
rumor fashion.
1t is very evident, however. there
has been no manifestation on the
part of the striking men to conduct
themselves unbecomingly and all the
expressions coming from that source
have been those suggesting an APP
parent earnest desire that the strike
incident shall pass without anything
happening to interrupt the peaceful
situation.
The guard force that has been
in charge of the yards since the
advent of the strike on July 1st
was composed of big Pete" Peter
son and Messrs. Bailey and Cooper,
all local citizens. Mr.. Peterson has
been a road official in the employ
of the Missouri Pacific for several
years. 1t was suggested that Sher-
if Stepp designate sufficient guards
to handle the, situation but that Of

FIRST EFFECTS
OF STRIKE FELT
In PARAC0ULD
Two Local Passenger Trains

(From Mondays Daily

The local strike situation, so far
as it relates to the Missouri Pacific
shops, remains the same as imme-
diately following the walkout when
1874 shop craftsmen responded to
the strike call, Saturday morning,
July /. 1t is reported that, with
the exception of the limited work
performed by officials in charge,
all departments of the Paragould
shop are at a standstill. The strike
has continued 100 per cent without

no strike-breakers were on duty in
the shops was readily accepted by
members of the local shopmen's I'M
ion present at the gathering of the
citizens and strikers in the yards
this morning. Thus far no men have
been brought into the city for the
purpose of filling the places made
vacant by the men walking out
July LIST. 1t is hoped by the men
concerned in the present walk-out
that the peaceful protest of this
morning will have the result of
dissuading the railroad officials
from sending non-union workers
here.
Superintendent Kendall, at Wynne
is the official head of the Memphis
division and, it is said, all matters
that are OUTSIDE of the Paragould
jurisdiction relating to the strike
and other affairs concerning the
Missouri Pacific in this division
must first be directed through his
office. Mr.. French's position is one
of a local executive and he can only
act upon the advice of his %superin-
tendent in this division. His scope
of work is outlined in detail and he
can zeal no relation to the issues
involved in the present crisis other
than that of a local official head.
The gathering at the union sta
ton, just prior to the visit to the
yard office, and the call upon those
in charge of the yards, were of per-
feet order in every respect. No ex-
pressions of a boisterous nature nor
demonstrations bordering upon a
suggestion of violence were notice
able. The sole object of the shop
men and the three hundred or more
citizens was to peacefully protest
against the importation of foreign
guards to look to the protection OF
the local property, substituting Para
gould individuals or officials, and
peacefully protest against the i'm
portation of strike-breakers.
After the object of the visit to
the yard had been accomplished, the
crowd returned to the city-al.

demonstrations Of n kind to dis

demonstrations Of any kind to dis
turb the peace of the incident.
Those who are serving in an Off
cial capacity in connection with the
local walk-out have expressed them
selves as supporting only peaceful
methods, awaiting the outcome of
the issues involved and being dealt
with at headquarters in Chicago.
The first real effect of the strike
was felt this morning when the
announcement was received from
the headquarters of the Missouri
Pacific Railway Company to the eff
feet that the two local passenger
trains, the north bound arriving
here at 11:25 and the south bound
due at 9.O3-Nos. 304 and 307 re-
spectively, have been ordered dis,
continued till further notice. These
trains have been running from Knobel
to Helena. The other two passenger
trains of the system, it is predicted,
will continue upon their regular
schedule.
1t is announced that the Missouri
of more than seventy local passen-
ger trains between points along its
entire railway system. 1t Is said
that all local passenger trains have
been suspended. The M. X. &. T.,
it is said, has suspended more than
forty of it's passenger carriers. While
the railway companies are attribut-
ing the suspensions to the strike, it
is believed the acts have been put
into effect more for the purpose of
creating public sentiment against
the strikers. 1t will be remembered
railway officials, some days ago,
were free in the expression of as
surances that all traffic would go
forward regardless of the strike.
In less than ten days time they have
reversed those assurances by making
a wholesale suspension of local pas
senger traffic, creating the impress
sion they are merely staging" a
bluff. Public. sentiment, ordinarily.
does not respond very readily to a
bluff.
From some sources it was indi-
Gated that the suspension of local
passenger traffic was due to the
coal strike. That report, however,
is Undoubtedly erroneous. Coal for
the roads in this section is supplied
from Alabama mines, it is said upon
apparently reliable authority. The
suspensions appear more reasonably
attributable to a run down condi-
ton of the rolling stock or to an
effort on the part of the higher-up
officials to make an effort to throw
the weight of public sentiment
against the men who responded to
the strike call.
1t was rumored upon the streets
this morning that a car load OF
groceries and other provisions was
side-tracked in the shop yards yes
terday morning for the use of strike
breakers. While a car of provisions
was actually run upon the siding.
it is said, it was moved OF yester-
day evening. going to some other
point north. II was also reported
that a quantity of cots for strike
breakers was received either yes
terday or last night. II has been
intimated that thirty-five or forty
men were expected to arrive here
from New Orleans to work in the
local shop, but that report lacks
verification.
