J THE' GOLDSBOROTm ESSEN GER, MARCH 25, 1 886.--DOUBLE SHEET . 1 w"""'1 HOPEFUL OUTLOOK. - A Speedy1 Settlement Possible. The Strikers Reported t o : be S Weakening-Filling the Places : s of Strikers. I . . : ' ' .-' " - o : I Charleston, S. C, March 19. Re ports of the action of the Dallas mer chants exchange ; and citizens' of Greenville, Texas, in passing resolu tions denunciatory of the strikes and the strikers' methods, were forwarded to Mr. Jav Gould here, and he has just forwarded a telegram in response, in which he said: "The present strike on -our 'system .was ordered by the of ficers of a secret organization because a neighboring railway in the control of the highest court in the land had seen fit to discharge one of their em ployes,, and with no other complaint against the management of the Mis souri Pacific, and without any warning or shadow of justification the entire business of? four States and one terri tory is completely paralyzed and the millions of resident citizens are de prived of the railway facilities on which their entire prosperity de pends." Pittsburg, Pa., March 19. At a general meeting of streetcar employ es, held in Alleghany City at one o'clock this morning, the report of the execii ive bca-d, demanding twelve hortrs tor a day's work (exclusiveof one hour for meals), $2 a day for 1 drivers of the box cars, and sufficient reason for the discharge of every man, was formally ratified. To-morrow at 11 o'clock .representatives of the men will: present to the managers of each line in the two cities a statement of their grievances, with the request that an answer be made on Tuesday mofn ing next at 10 o'clock. Tbe men are now well organized, and claim that less than three per cent of all the rail way employes here are non-unionists. It is stated that two lines have already arranged schedules to conform with the twelve-hour arrangement. St. Louis, March 19. The hopes for a settlement of the strike upon the Gould southwest system in the near future seem nearer realization .this morning than at any time during the present difficulty., The interest in the future developments is equally divided between the course which the dis charged mechanic, Hall, at Marshall, Texas, shall pursue; and the reply of Col. Hoxie to Master Workman Pow derly, now at Kansas city. Many feel confident that the submission of Hall's grievances to the United States Court will result in ending the strike on the Texas and Pacific railroad, whichever way the judge of the court should de cide. The announcement by the Mis souri Pacific employees, however, of grievances other than the discharge of Hall, warrants the belief that a sepa rate settlement of the difficult amoner them must be arrived at before the strike on that road can end. Mr. Hoxie's answer, therefore, to Mr. Pow derly's request for a conference is awaited for with the greatest anxiet v. Up to a very late hour last night Mr. Hoxie had not received thU master workman's letter, and in reply to an inquiry as to his plaris should negotia tions be opened between them, replied that he could make no statement in regard to his future course. The probability that the men employed by the various railroads in East St. Louis will strike becomes less day by day. The men are all at their posts this . morning as usual, and it is stated will remain there until ordered to strike by Master Workman Powderly. It is quite well understood that the roads which baye not already granted the requested advance in wages will do so when their employes present the schedule desired by them; providing their demands shall not be excessive. The situation in this city this morn ing shows absolutely no change. Su burban passenger trains have resum ed running and no further interfer ence from the Knights of Labor in this branch of the railroad's business is anticipated. No attempt has been made for some days past to remove freight trains; and although the com pany's plans are not generally known it is presumed that(no attempt to re sume "freight traffic will be made un til the strike is ended. the strikers said to be weakening. T Sedalia, , Mo. , March 19. - Labor Commissioner Kochtitzky and Gov ernor Marmaduke passed through here going to Kansas City last night. The labor commissioner says the strikers are weakening all along the lines. The grievance committee of the locomo tive engineers held a final meeting last evening and adjourned. They decided unanimously to stand by the company una take no part in the present dilhcul ty. The brotherhood of firemen are said to stand with the engineers, and also the brakemen. The engineers, n J l l t ii i uremen anu oraKemen nave caned a joint meeting for to-day. These men ' are getting restless under the enforced idleness. It is surmised the' will re solve to take out traius regardless of the threats of the strikers. The stnk ers report receiving assistance from St. Paul, Minhii Vincennes, Ind., also from the merchants of three other cities. j THE PLACES OF THE STRIKERS FILLED. Galveston, Tex., March 19. A special to the News from Sherman says : The entire list of places needed to b$ filled on the trans-continental division of : the Texas Pacific road at the piesent time has been supplied. r and applicants for the place of strikers were told yesterday that there was no more work to be given out. The citi zens committee of business men who adopted the first resolution endorsiner ine auiiuae or xne rauroad toward the strikers received a letter from Receiv er John C. Brown yesterday thanking in em ior ineir prompt action. MEETING OF BUSINESS MEN. Galveston, Tex., March 19. A special to the News from Farmersville, says a meeting of business men and other citizens was held here yesterday to take action on the present labor troubles. Resolutions were adopted. stating that "we believe the present strike not only a delusion, but wroncr as to principle and foreign to America and that it can only pro a detriment to the entire country.!' The resolutions close by opposing violence that would tend to cripple the roads in the lawful management of their affairs. A special to the News from Bonham Texas, says i t A large number of busi ness meD, citizens and property own ers assembled in the Opera House yesterday to' take action in reference to tbe labor troubles on the Texas Pa - cific road. Owing to the presence of ; a large number of Knights of Labor and strikers,; the resolutions read by the chairman could not be adopted. The business men signed a series of I ,. f resolutions condemning "all unlawful TOBACCO FACTORY. ; efforts made by any one to interfere. -:jt ,ig a acknowledged fact of with the rights, of railroad or other .p0jtjcaleeonaiy" that! the cultiva corporations."

Rarelv. if ever before, has the in- dustnal outlook at the South been so promising as at present. The cottonj mills and iron works are full time: many of them are really & - iem are reauy crowded with orders,and their bnsi- ness is yieiamg ucrner Prouls u.a iur several years, and f other lines of manufactures the same is trne. m In , the diversification of manufacturing mterests there is very notable pro- gress. During the last two weeks we have reported m our Construction Department the organization of many new enterprises, and among some of me most important were a ;pxuu,uvu sugar refinery in Kissimmee, Fla., a $50,000 fertilizer company in Ocalla, an ice factory company in Sanford, broom factory at Tampa, a $200,UUU coal company at Mobile, Ala., a $15, 000 agricultural implement company in Rome. Ga,, a tobacco factory and! a $50,000 company to manufacture pianos in Atlanta, an ice factory in Macon, it $100,000 phosphate company at Brunswick; a $20,000 gas company, a $5,000,000 mining company and a $50,000 lumber company in Arkansas; a $300,000 wagon manufacturing com pany, a $250,000 clock manufacturing company, a $50,000 wool manufactur ing company, $42,000 stove "works, $1,- rn Ann t. i tnn uw,wuuaiu8 e.u., rt I (as I know many others would) to see 000 company to manufacture burglary. Mvrr m1 Ar tV mnr alarms and electrical goods, and a;i stove foundry in Kentucky; in Louis- j lana the list of new enterprises for J. two weeks includes a $150,000 ice fac tory, a $60,000 cotton compress and the prospects of a 5,000 spindle mill to manufacture ramie. North Caro- lina sbows for the same period a $50, 000 company for the manufacture of coach material, some five or six new tobacco factories, a number of saw mills, mining enterprises and other industries, South Carolina a $50,000 electric light company, while Tennes see reports a $50,000 fruit-canninsr (jompany, a $150,000 iron company, a shoe factory, $25,000 range and cast ing company, a $50,000 furniture man ufacturing company, an ice factory, machine shop, a $100,000 company to manufacture heating furnaces, a cheese ractory, a maroie company gas light company, grain elevator, nour mm company, a $ou,uuu soap and chemical company, a hosiery mill company; in Texas there have been reported a $25,000 ice company, a$25, 000 electric light company, $30,000 cotton gin factory, $50,000 gas works, $50,000 lumber company, $50,000 rol i 1 'II r AAA ling mill, a $2o0,000 cotton oil com pany to build a mill, $20,000 coffee and spice mill, a $100,000 roller, mill, a $24,000 electric licrht aud power company, a $30,000 milling company and a $15,000 flour mill; in Virginia, a $1,000,000 tin mining company, an earthenware factory, a canning fac tory, machine shop, woolen mill, $100,000 paper mill company and a flour mill, and in West Virginia a $100,000 oil and gas company, an ag ricultural implement company, etc. As this is a record for two weeks only, and includes simply the most impor tant industries organized or incorpo rated during that period, it shows that there is much industrial activity all through the South. In addition to the enterprises mentioned there1 have been many saw and planing mills and small industries generally. And indications are now favorable for some very extensive new enter prises. The Pittsburgh papers an nounce that Mr. Henri Hauman, a noted Belgian engineer, passed there last week on his way South, where he is going to locate a large iron and steel plant for a powerful Belgian syndicate. These works, it is stated, will employ over 1,200 men, and will manufacture steel by the basic pro cess. And so the good work goes on. Day after day adds to the new enter prises and to the wealth of the South. Col. A. K. KcClure, the editor of the Philadelphia Times, who is a good au thority, says: 'I regard the prospects of the South as even much better than the South ern people themselves regard them. There is nothing in the history of the world that can be compared with the efforts of the Southern people to re habilitate themselves. Considering the institution under which thev grew up, their system of labor whih has been so violently revolutionized and the necessity for diversifying their industries, of which they knew nothing, it is marvelous how they haye adapted themzelves to the new advancement tney have arrived in few years. Pennsylvania has muc more reason to fear the South m the manufacture of iron and in the com-1 petition than any foreign country. You will draw a large portion of our industry to your section, and we, as we haye always done, will learn some thing new and go at it. There can not be anything more insane than the raising of cotton here in the South where you have the benefit of splen did water power that never freezes and where anything tends to cheapen production, and then to ship that cot ton away to bleak New England, and there to have it spun and woven. That system cannot last in the New South. Whenever capital comes South, where it is bound to come, there will be a revolution; and it can not be far distant."

E. THE HATTEKAS PORPOISE FISHERIES. Wliat is Destined to be a Great Industry- LNorfolk Virginian. Mr. Sam Shipp, who controls a large interest in the Hatteras porpoise fish eries, returned to the city last evening from a business visit to Hatteras. Mr. Shipp informs usthat the fisheries will undoubtedly develop into an extensive industry along the Virginia, as well a!as the Carolina, coast. The business js a prqntaoie one, ana is attracting the attention of Northern capitalists, several bf whom are desirous of par ticipating in the enterprise. Already 100 hands are employed at the fish eries. The number embraces all the available labor in the vicinity of Cape HatterasJ. When the weather shall have become more favorable it is in tended to enlarge operations, and it will be necessary to send labor from other points to the fisheries. The de pression j in business, as well as the many storms of last Winter, would have been, disastrous to the dwellers on the oast, had this new industry not afforded them the means of mak ing a fair livelihood. The only draw back to the fisheries are the inadequate mail and telegraphic facilities and the difficulty.' encountered in reaching Hatteras during the prevalence of a storm . !
