ing: President Powell in his state
ment to-day says :
' "NVe are highly elated over the
the success of the strike. Th

out to a- man. My information
shows that the traffic on the South
ern is almost totally demoralized.
Not a freight train is moving and
dozens of trains are side-tracked.
My reports show that Alabama
Great Southern is unable to run
freights and only the principal
passengers are moving. WVild'
ordert have been put into effect on
some of the divisions and I am in
formed this morning the engineers
and 4rain men of the" Columbia
division have refused to run on
them, declaring that they will not
endanger their lives by so - doing.
