B. M. Jewell, president Of the rail
way department of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, who refused to APP
pear at a federal inquiry into the
strike call, reiterated that the only ba-
sis for a settlement was for the roads
to agree not to put into effect wage
decreases recently ordered for the
shopmen by the labor board.
Ben w. Hooper, chairman Of the la
Dor board, declared in formal state
ment that the power of the govern
ment, coupled with public sentiment,
will give every protection to every rail.
way employee who remains on the job
and to all new men who take the
places of the strikers in the present
walkout.
Mr.. Hooper asserted that the strike
was called against the decisions
of federal tribunal over rulings laid
down after careful consideration of the
evidence on both sides. The men who
take the places of the striking shop
men will render a public service, he
declared, and should, therefore, be i'm.
mune from the Characterization OF
"scab" or strike breaker"
The walkout began throughout the
country at 10 am, and in many places
took on the aspect of holiday, the
men singing and cheering as they
threw down their tools. AS reports
came into union headquarters here
leaders asserted that the ranks of the
strikers would number more than
three-quarters of the hundred thousand
membership before night. Later Mr.
Jewell said that reports from S6 of 2O1
class one roads showed a practically
100 per cent walkout. He added that
he hoped to be able to give more &C.
curate figures later.
The only display Of force reported
during the day was at Beardstown,
Ill. where several hundred shopmen,
after failing to persuade four compan'
ions to join them in the .walkout pick
ed them up bodily and carried them
out. we sent them home" the lead
err was quoted as saying, ito avoid
trouble"
In Chicago, the hub Of the walkout,
where it is estimated 100000 men are
affected, no disturbances Of any kind
were reported and all of the roads
claimed that both passengers and
freight were being handled without in
terruptions Of any kind.
Among the presidents of railways
entering Chicago the determination
was expressed to have no dealings
with the representatives of the strik.
ing unionsl They we're unanimous in
declaring that the issue was not be.
tween the unions and the railways, but
between the unions and the United
States labor board.

Widely published corrections Of err
roneous statements that the senator
ial, congressional and judicial pri-
maries will not be held on the
same day have been made. These
primaries are fixed by law and not
by executive committee and all take
place on August Is. In 1914 the law
which authorized the state executive
committee to hold senatorial pri-
maries was changed, and provides
that the congressional executive CON-
mittees of the eight districts shall
also hold the primaries for United
States senator, and make their re-
turns to secretary of state Of the
result the same as they do for con-

The secretary of state expects the

ready at an early date, when he
will send them to every public Of
ficer in Mississippi, and all others
who are entitled to receive them.
1t is not known when the Journals
of the house and senate will be
ready. They are understood to be
quite voluminous, and it seems to
he taking more time to print them
than it has to print the laws. Many
inquiries are reported to be made
for the legislative journals by candi-
dates, as they contain the yea and
nay votes on all important legisla-
tive matters and many Of these
votes, especially on trust and COM
bine, and the unsuccessful attempt to
abolish the state revenue agents Of
flee, are said to be issues in con-
gressional, senatorial and judicial

The State treasury is empty again,
the million dollars received by recent
sale of bonds, according to Treasurer
Murray, having been spent. Treas
urer Murray states that unless an
other bond issue is made all state
employees and others to whom state
warrants are issued will have to
hypothecate the same, or hold them
until there is money in the treasury.
Unless other bonds are sold there
will be very little money in the
treasury until tax paying time next
December when tax collectors settle
with the auditor. Authority to al
low the state bonding commission to
sell bonds was granted by a majority
vote OF the legislature when 1t re-
duced the tax levy from to s mills.
