"Tliere will be absolutely no quarters given In the light between the Canadian trainmen and the Grand Trunk and Vermont railways," said President W. G. Lee of the Brother hood of .Railroad Trainmen. "Train men and conductors will back the strikers to their last penny. The strikers will hold out for the same terms granted them by the Baltimore & Ohio, and which every other rail road excepting the Grand Trunk and Vermont has accepted." Freight Traffic Tied V. Montreal, July 20. With the more Important passenger schedules from tin' city well maintained, the prob lem confronting the Grand Trunk mil way lies In the continued paralysis of frclKht traffic. This condition, the striking conductors and trainmen de clare, was precisely their objective when 5000 left their various posts on (lie company's system from Portland, Me., to Detroit, and In New England Monday night. Car loads of perish able freight stand on the sidings, far nml near. The property loss probably will be heavy. The food supply and crop transportation are vitally In volved. Congestion of Freight Increasing. Freedom from serious disorder con tinues to characterize conditions. Both the Grand Trunk and Wabash are re cruiting men.. Vice President Flti hiiKh said he' exiedted a partial re sumption of freight operations before night.

The company succeeded In keeping Its through passenger trains moving. ! Such delays ns have occurred were not unusual and a good many of the locals have made their trips without ineiilent, manned by crews taken from the working forces In othit depart ment. No attempt was made to move freight nut of Montreal. Vice President FitzHugh of the Orand Trunk said that when the malls ami passenger trains are moving with, out friction the freight business will be taken up. "This is not going to be a strike of a day or two," said Mr. Fitzlliigh. "The company went Into It knowing what It was facing, and determined to see It through to the end. It cannot afford to lose." Vlco President Murdock, the train men's organizer, says that they never expected to tie up the passenger ser vice, and he points to the non-operation of freight trains and suburban trains as proof that the men have cause for satisfaction over the results of the llrst day of the strike. So fur the only attempt made at affording a settlement, has been the offer of the minister of labor to do anything possible to bring about peace by means of arbitration which he sug gests should be binding upon Iboth parties. The offer for further arbi tration was coldly received. "We are the arbitrators now," declared the strike leaders. The railroad officials had no comment to make on the latest ungestlon from Ottawa. There has not been the slightest at tempt at disorder In Montreal. The freight yards axe quiet and only travel, lers are allowed to enter Buenaven tine depot. The repair shops were closed, and as a result there has been considerable grumbling among the nen. It being maintained that the company should not penalise the shop, men because the trainmen went out. Kxpccts lo Break Backbone of It by Saturday.

"No disturbances of con fluence are reported anvwhere. All ImiHirtn nt passenger trains are mov- ng without Interruption. By Sunday r earlier wo shall have a full comple nient of men and our service will be resumed In Its full capacity." No Disorder Developed. iJctrnlt, July 20.

Corporation Commission Is Now As sessing Them in 1902 There Were 60 State Banks. ONE "FARM LIFE SCHOOL'' PLANNED FOR EACH COUNTY Freight Kotos situation Now Full or InU-rtM Public anil School LI onirics of (lie State. Gazette-News Rurouu, Chamber of Commerce Booms, Hullemon. Building, Raleigh, July 20. Just now the corporation commis sion, which Is also the state board of tax assessment. Is ustessing all the banks, national and state, In North Carolina. Of these there are 100, 30 of the number being national. The Increase of number of banks In North Carolina Is great, for in 1902 there were only 0 state banks, while now there are S20. This shows, as much as anything in the world, how North Carolina has developed in fight years, In tho ponds around Raleigh are great numbers of the lotus, of the Egyptian species; a giant lily, which Is now In all its splendor of bloom. One pond, covering, twenty-one acres, Is gorgeous. Its flower is aslly propl gated from the seed, which In Egypt are eaten. They grow with astonish ing rapidity, and will fill all the pond except the deep water. They ought to thrive at Ashevllle, Agricultural Schools. State Superintendent of Public In struction Joyner shows very keen In terest In the new type of schools to be established In this state;, one In each county, at the Hading high school; these to be known as "Farm. Life Schools," and ori the 26th, Instant, he is to speak at the annual session of the North Carolina Farmers' Union at the Agricultural and Mechanical .college here, about them. He says this education for farm life for boys and girls) will be received with great favor -toy he people In tho country districts" In the south. What Is the south? Mr. Joyner says It is. one of the most purely agrlcultural-communi- ties on earth, with 82 per cent, of the population farmers. This means every thing, as In a pure democracy like ours 83 per cent, or the whole may truly be termed "the people." Freight Hale Situation. The situation regarding freight rates in North Carolina Is very full of In terest Just now. - About two years ago, when the corporation commission brought suit against the Norfolk ti Western railway, charging discrimina tion In rates on freight to Durham and Winston-Salem, as compared with Vlr. glnio, points, several railways Inter vened, setting out that If (he inter state commission decided against the N. & W. they would have to reduce their rates, correspondingly. The commission has docided that' the N. & W, must reduce rates from two to nine per rent., this applying only to Wlnston-Salcm and Durham, however. The question now Is whether the roads other roads will make corre sponding reductions. This matter Is therefore important to the entire state, he reduction Is not so large, nor the order of the Interstate commis sion no sweeping as was expectd, yet a point has been gained and the pen- pie will wait to see what further steps will be taken. Public School Libraries. A circular haa been issued giving the list of public and school libraries. which are eighty-two In number. Ashevllle, which is stated to have 30,- 000 population, has two, ono having 10,000 volumes and the other (that of the Normal and Collegiate Institute 2S00, but no regular librarian. Ral eigh has nine libraries, with a total of about 80,000 volumes. The Woman's clubs of this state have been turned over to the North Carolina Library commission, all their books, and these ate to be arranged In what are known as traveling libraries, which are to be sent to pluces which apply for them, to remain six months. Not only will they go to placvs which have no libra ries and where the tax-payer apply for them, but they will also be used In adding to small libraries. The South ern railway has notllied the library commission that It will carry these libraries free of charge. It Is the llrst railway In the country' to take this step, and Its action Is very public- spirited.

TO Mr. Roosevelt Desires a Progressive Platform Adopted but Can't Take Sides. New York, Jaly 20. Theodore Roosevelt hopes the republicans In Ohio will adopt a progressive plat form, but taking an attitude In line with that of President Taft he declines to exert Influence for any candldute In the ante-convention situation. He made this plain in New York yesterday after a conference with Judge Reynolds Klnkald of Toledo, who is regarded as the second choice of those Ohio republicans who are supporting James It. Garfield for the gubernatorial nomination. It Is un derstood that Mr. Garfield had a hand In Judge Klnkald's visit and that Gar field supporters have agreed to throw their strength to the Judge If Mr. Gar Held Is not nominated. Neither Colonel Roosevelt nor Judge Klnkald would discuss thels) confer ence. Colonel Roosevelt virtually ad mitted, however, that his approval of the candidacy of Judge Klnkald for the republican nomination for gover nor of Ohio had been sought when he said: "I cannot support any candidate for a nomination. I can only say that I hope a progressive platform will be adopted in Ohio." The ex-presldent took luncheon with C. A.

Just what, if anything, lins hap pened to Gen. Klllott, commnndunt of the corps, is u matter of uncertainty. The changes ordered were the result of a letter from Acting Secretary Wlnthrop to lien.

UNTIL NOVEMBER The Fight at Greensboro Will Be Square Issue Between Duncan Forces and Butler Cohorts. . , M0REHEAD BUT NOMINAL HEAD OF BUTLER'S ORGANIZATION Fight on Convention Floor Will Be on I Kill Option Plunk, More or Le'ss Illusive as to Verbiage. Special to The Gazotte-News. special 10 i ne etazoue-iewi WASHINGTON, July V such conclusion ut mation available he 20 Basing pon lnfor- ere the ap proaching republican convention will not fall to Interest the state. There Is no longer uny'doubt about tho line up, the llilit for party control will be between the Duncan forces on the one side, . und Marion Butler, using Congressman Morehead, on the other. That Butler Is the generalissimo of the Morehead camp there Is not the slightest question, and if Butler-can make Morehead chairman the party will be thoroughly Butlerized. Butler and Morehead have pinned their faith to the liquor element, and the light on the floor of the convention will come oxr the adoption of a local option plunk, which will be more or less concealed in verbiage relating to local self government." Neither But ler nor Morehead has come Into the open as yet, for fear of driving away support for Morehead for chairman. nee liquor talk is not popular In imc of the republican counties of tho west, but thoy do not hesitate1 to dls-- ant on the desirability of local self government. lias Never Answered Lusk. Morehead has never answered the dire'et question of Col. Lusk, whe wanted to know what Morehead meant by his local self government talk. No admission will be made that this talk means liquor until all the delegates possible are lined up fur Morehead nd then, in the convention, the mask will be candidly thrown aside. Butler sending, out letters eppetUing for support for Morehead and nclosing a sheet of paper on which are reproduced article from the Caucasian, Butter's paper, and from the Washington correspondence . of the Charlotte Observer, written when H. Ii. C. Bryant wa endeavor- tg to promote the political fortunes f Morehead. The very first words of the letter have reference to liquor, but. n keeping with tho device resorted to n the More-head letters, the allusion is Intended as a sort of Illusion. This Is the way the letter starts: "In 190S, we hud a splendid opportunity to carry our state. We did not organize and conduct a elgorous state campaign. nd the failure of the state convention to declare squarely for the great fun damental principle of local self gov ernment cost us many thousands of otes." The recipient of the letter is then urged to attend the state convention. and do what he can to uphold the hands of nin like Morehead. There Is much speculation here as i to what men like Col. Lusk will think of this liutler-local-optlon - Morehead enterprise. Mr. Butler has addresses a copy of this letter to men formerly engaged n the manufacture of whiskey with a view to trading upon supposed fccl- ngs of discontent.
