WAS SMARTED BY L&N.
To Force Illinois Central to Terms
at Nashville Most Valuable
Railroad Terminal Prop
erty In Cairo.
Speaking of the reports co.ioo.iu..g
the. Cairo & Thebes railroad which
lmve been in the air during the lust
several ila.vi) a railroail man said
yesterday ho thought he could explain
why so little had hem done during
tin? last year to prsh it to completion'
said he realized that the financial
depression may have had something
to de with the cessation or work, hut
this could have been only temporary.
He called attention to the fact that
the stopping of operations on th
Cairo & Thebes here came about the
name time that the Illinois Central
CV. imllcfd out of Nashville. .1 This
company-had gained access to that
citv and had started to bui'd cost'v
terminals there In competition with
(lie Louisville it- Nashville ral'ro'd.
'As a set-oft to this stroke the latter
company started t lie Cairo & Thebes
railroad started it. through a local
organization because a local organiza
tion can always get more, from the
people in the way of franchises than
a foreign organization. This Cairo
& Thebes road was started by the L.
V N. Co. to compete with the Illinois
Central for Cairo business, in retalia
tion for the Illinois Central's In
vasion of Nashville. It appears that
the latter company saw Its mis-take,
abandoned Nashville, turned its busi
ness back to the L. & N. and that
ended the fight.
Now the question arises, what is
the Louisville & Nashville going to
do with the Cairo & Thebes? It has
ncuulred Valuable terminal property
here worth many hrndreds of thou
sands of dollars given to It free ot
charge by the people of Cairo. And
(his property is steadily growing in
value. The grading has been fin
ished from Cairo to Carson Martin's
place, anil from Santa Fe to Thebes,
having a stretch of about fift:en
miles between iMartin's place and
Santa Fee which remains to b
graded. It is a settled Tact that the
Cairo & Thebes is not going to get
th" right-of-way to the Thebes bridge
which it wants; it will have to go
over the way th" Hrldje Co. wants it
to go or not go at all, and the Illinois
Hoard of Railroad and Warehouse
commissioner can't betp them much.
But the officials of the TsHiisville &
Nashville Co. are not .in a hurry
ahout this matter, since they have
gottfi! together with the Illinois Cen
tral over the Nashville business, and
of late we hear talk of negotiations
pending for the sale of the Cairo ft
Thebes. There was some dickering
with the Cotton Hdt and Iron Moun
tain people, but the latest Hiid most
likely prospective purchaser is the
Frisco which owns the C. & K I. and
which can use the Cairo & Thebes
for a direct line from Cairo to St.
Louis, going over the Thebes bridge
(of which it is one of the owners) and
en to St. I mis over Its line on the
weft side of (he river.
"I saw in The Bulletin the other
day that one of the officials of the
Cairo & Thebes bad sai.l the road
would stop at Santa Ke for the time
being and cross (he bridge over that
line. If that is done It can be set
down that the Frisco has In-coine the
owner of tlto C. &. T. proorty. and
(he U & N. is out of it.
"The Cairo & Thebes terminal prop
erty in Cairo in my opinion and by
long odds Is the most valuable rail
road property in Cairo," said the gen
tleman. "I do not see how they ever
rot. it. President Smith certainly
worked a 'rabbit's foot' on the people
of Cairo, and the L. & N. eop!e
owe him a heavy debt of gratin.de anil
other things, even though now they
ii't not seem to have any use fur (he
rnprty. Hut that property will not
go begging for a buyer very long, and
the L. & N. will g t their money back
with good interest."

GOMPERS, MITCHELL AND MOR-
RISON THINK SENTENCE
, MOST UNJUST.
DENIAL OF FREE SPEECH
In Decision cf Ji'stice Wrght in Issu
ing Injunction in Buck Stove
Care Labor Men Ark no
Pardon.
Washington, Jan. 21. "We have not
asked," and will not ask, for clemency,
and wc hope our friends will not iirgfj
us to pursue 'such a course.'. . Loving
liberty as five men do as we do it
cannot, be difficult, to appreciate what
Incarceration in prison would mean
to us. To ask pardon would render
useless all Jtrlal and , saciiifice which
our men of labor and our fricudi; in
all walks of life have endured, that
the rights and liberties of our people,
might, be restored.
Such a pardon would only leave the
whole race in confusion and It would
have to be fought over again from the
beginning."
This is some of the language used
n the remarkable statement signed by
Gompers, Mttchel and Morrison in the
current, number, of the American cd
erationisl, in formal protest against
the action of Justice Wright: in sen
tencing them to imprisonment for con
tempt of court in the Buck Stove and
Hange. case, December 2'.).
Denial of Free Speech.
Gompers heads ills statement
"Judge Wright's denial of free speech
and free press,"' and he declares, "we
will not 'bate' a single word nor take
a single letter back". Gompers refers
to the "Intemperate and -vindictive
spirit displayed by the justice" in a
separate statement but. be joins with
Mitchell 'and Morrison in declariu,'!
they woitM not-,, "enter tnta- euiMpeu.
Hon with the honorable court In the
use ef Invectives, rancor and scathing
denuiiciaiiim", and that they should
protest "against the court's unprece
dented and unwarranted flaggalalior.
of the cause of the people we have the
honor to represent."
Necessary to Disobey.
That the trio of labor leaders fully
understand the rsponsibility they as
sume In tusking their statements Is
shown by their declaration Hint even
though they may be held In additional
contempt, "we are willing to accept
the consequences. It may he neces
sary to the preservation of the liber
ties of the people that a judge should
be disobeyed. Judges sometimes
usurp power and become tyrants
Disobedience to a tyrant is obedience
to law."
lb-re Is another statement "where
a judge Issues an injunction like th.it
in the Buck's Stove and Kango com
pany case, it is the judge who defies
the law and not the citizens who re
fuse obedience to his injunction man
dates, which would deprive men of
their constitutional rights."
The statement enters in a close
analysis of (he famous njiinction eas
and it is asserted that Mitchell wa
not present at the labor meetings
which directed the circular letters a!
lacking the Buck Stove and Range
company; that be dd not sign or
hao knowledge of its circulation. It
Is asserted that Gompers removed the
name of the firm from the "We don't
patronize" list as s-sm as the iiijuno
iton became operative ami had no In
tent to defy the order of (he eon it
by Its discussion. Finally, in conclii
ion It is said, "we are not disrespect
ful to the courts when we protest
against a wrong decision, rather arc
we helping the courts to mainlal i
their proer dignity by ioniing out
when a judge st ps from the path of
dignity and right and justice.

CONCENSUS OF SENTIMENT
AT A MEETING OF CHILD

INFLUX OF .F0REICNER8
And Lack Of Harmony Between State
Regulations on Subject Pointed ,
Out as Two Most Vital
Drawbacks. ;
Chicago, Jan. 21. "Keep the child
nuf.of (he factory." This was the
consensus of sentiment at the opin
ing today of the National Child La
her ''Conference. The plight or the
poor child who is taken front the
school to become the support of par
ents, ' thlfe unnatural and unliealthfnl
surroundings of the child in faetorii s
of the big cities ''and In the cotton
mills of the south, were all described
by .poclal workers of Jiatlotial repute
as an argniuent foiyflnore legislative
protection for the iTuldren.
Two hindrances to child labor re
form were pointed out by General Sec
ret ry Owen It. Lovejoy, of New York.
These were the Influx of foreign raci s
which bring customs entirely alien to
the ideals of this country; secondly,
lack ef harmony between the different
state regulations on this subject.
