80 Railroad Men
On Strike Here

Between $50 and IT'S employees of
the N. o. G. N. shops were called out
in the nationwide strike which went
into effect at 10 o'clock Saturday.
AS The Enterprise went to press yes
terday afternoon no decision had
been announced as to what action
will be taken. General Manager
Ferris and other officials of the COM
pany were in conference.
The situation here is a peculiar
one, as the employees of the local
railroad shops, embracing the six
crafts, have been working for less
money than the employees on other
roads are striking for. It is said, for
example, the machinists here are re-
ceiving so cents per hour, while the
Labor Board has asked them on other
lines to work for 20 cents an hour.
The local employees were not anx-
ious for strike and after receiving
the order from national headquarters
to walk out on Saturday they sent
several kilograms explaining the local
situation and asked for further or
ders. The result was they were or
dered to comply with the original or
der to walk out Saturday at 10 a. m.
There has been no trouble whatso-
ever here and the train service has
been maintained on schedule time.
Several lines have announced they
would organize crews to replace those
on strike; some railroads have an
nounced they will call in all contract
repair work which has been done out
side their shops. This would lead one
to believe the strike will be settled
without great loss of time.

Gray's Shows Come
Under Legion Auspices

Gray's Shows, which arrived in Boz
galusa Monday, will remain opposite
the Great Southern administration
building for the remainder of the
week, showing under the auspices of
the Magic City Post of the American
Legion.
The company has an unusually
clean lot of attractions, and the mer-
ry-go-rOund and Ferris wheel have
proved exceedingly popular. The an
imal show as we'll as the plantation
minstrels are doing nice business.
and the personnel of the entire COM
pany proves that the Legion secured
one of the cleanest carnival com
panies that has ever visited this sec
ton.
81 have always believed that it
pays to conduct a carnival business
on such a high plane that the ladies
and kiddies will want to come" said
Mr.. Gray, and by following that plan
he has always been able to play re-
turn engagements.

Noted Minister
To Come Sunday

DR.. T. D. Ellis, church extension
secretary of the Southern Methodist
Church and a speaker of national
reputation and recognized as one of
the greatest men in that church, will
come to Bogalusa next Sunday and
has consented to deliver the usual
Sunday sermons at IL a, m. and z
p. m.
DR.. Ellis comes here in connection
with the building of a new church,
having been invited here by the build
ing committee to give stimulus to the
work.
The choir at the First Methodist
Church is' arranging some special
music for the Sunday services and
a cordial invitation is extended the
public to hear DR.. Ellis.
Bogalusa is indeed fortunate in
having an opportunity to hear such
a noted speaker and it is needless to
state the First Methodist Church will
be taxed to capacity at both services.

Swamp Road Fixed;
Goes Wrong Again

After the City of Bogalusa had
spent three days fixing the swamp
road on the Mississippi side of Pearl
river, where many yards of gravel
were placed in the many bad holes,
no sooner had they completed their
work than the road just beyond the
swamp, in front of the home of 7. ].
Moody, was made impossible by new
work of the road gang.
A road has now been cut around
this spot, but few drivers leave the
road and as a result they get stuck
in the soft fill. On last Sunday six
cars were stuck at this place at one
time and last week several cars were
damaged by the strain of being pulled
out.
Federal Engineer Smith has prom
ised to do all in his power to keep the
road open and in passable condition,
but with continuous rains he has a
job on his side.
The timber has been cut out of the
right-of-way from the Mississippi end
of the Pearl river bridge to the old
road and work will start building the
road within a few days and rushed TO
completion, but at best it is expected
sixty days will elapse before the road
is ready. By that time it is hoped the
road from the bridge to Poplarville
will be gravelled. Once there is a
good road from Bogalusa to Poplar
Vile there will be more people from
this section visit Pearl River county
in one week than there has been in
any one past year.
The opening of the road means
more to POplarville and towns be-
tween Bogalusa and the Gulf Coast
than anything that could possibly be
done in the way Of improvements and
enternrises.

Coca-Cola Team Won
Two Games Last Week

By defeatoing Franklinton Friday
afternoon by score of II to l, and
Varnado Sunday afternoon, by a
score of 6 to 9, the Coca-Cola team
chalked up a total of twelve victories
out of fifteen games played this sea-
son.
Blackwell pitched great ball against
Franklinton, and Marx pitched fine
game against Varnado. Blackwell and
Horner hit Reese of Franklinton for
two-baggers. Sunday afternoon the
Coca-Colas knocked Gam of Varnado
out in the fifth inning. Marx and
Horner scoring two-baggers and all
the team hitting him hard.
The Franklinton boys say never hit
one to the outfield if you want TO
land safe at first, for Teddy, Tim and
Red are there.
Franklinton's second baseman tried
to kill Joe Bailey with hot one, but
couldn't hurt the third sacker. They
also tried our shortstop out, but soon
found out that it was useless to hit
to Williams.
You couldn't hear the rooters for
the Coca-Cola catcher-guess every
one knows who he was.
Mr.. Mills was on the job with his
hat off. If the Bogalusa team needs
q good scorekeeper, we will recon-
mend L. r. Mills or Eli Cartrell.
Ernest Gibson held the bench to
finish.

COL SWIMMIN' HOLE"
MOST POPULAR SPOT

Over three hundred people,, men,
women and children, visited the
swimming pool in Bogue Lusa creek
back of Little Buffalo, Sunday, and
there is nothing in the city which is
giving the citizenship as much genuine
pleasure as this swimming pool af-
forded by nature.
The suggestion made by The En-
terprise last week that the city COM
plete the road to the creek, take out
some of the snags in the creek, make
the place one in which the kiddies
may play and erect two small but in
expensive buildings for the changing
of clothing, has met with much favor
able comment.
"Why / know a number of en-
ployes who work in the mill with me"
said one man who was sitting on the
bank watching his several children
play IN the water, ''who would be will
ing to give dollar to see it improved.
Unless you have visited this swim
ming hole you cannot appreciate what
an ideal spot nature has given the
city. Within few feet OF the banks
there is abundant shade and the
ground could be easily placed in con-
dition for an ideal picnic ground.
There is also a fine sand bar, and by
expanding a few hundred dollars 1t IS
believed Bogalusa could have beach
that would compare with some OF the
best in the smaller cities Of the United
States. =.
Nature has provided spots not half
so beautiful or convenient which have
been taken over by individuals and
made into amusement parks when
have proven good mOneymakers.

Claud Blanchard, manager of
Blanchard's Jazz Hounds, musical
organizations that has attracted at
tention wherever they have played,
has closed a contract to play every
Sunday at the big dancing pavilion
recently completed at Vaudeville.
The fact that Bogalusa will supply
the music will attract a large number
from this city to the Lake Pontchar-
train resort. The roads are ideal, sea
food dinners can always be secured
and it is believed Bogalusans viii
divide their week-ends between the
Cuff Coast and Vaudeville.
