.\ecording to Mayor H. M. .Tackson of Paragouid, .\rk., the strike of 

 the coopers at Paragouid has about worn itself out. The mills have 

 maintained the same attitude throughout the entire proceedings, taking 

 the position that the strikers had no real grievance and refusing to 

 recognize the union's committee. -M the time the strike was made tlie 

 mills had very little work on hand, and were operating more as an 

 accommodation to the men than for their own benefit, by making up some 

 stock to be held and placed on the market when better prices were to be 

 liad. So when the strike occurred the mills were shut down to prevent 

 "perating at a loss. When, however, the operators were ready they 

 I'esumed operations by simply employing other men. and are now pro- 

 iciding with their work as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened. 



The stave manufacturers at Jonesboro, in anticipation of a strike 

 nmong their employees similar to the one at Paragouid, discharged a large 

 Ti umber of their employees, and they will now, as the operations of the 

 plant require it, employ new men to take their places. 



Another move has been made by the railroads of Arkansas, involved 

 in the rate litigation, in securing the appointment of a special master 

 to audit the claims to be made against the small roads in the state 

 which have been acquired by the Missouri Pacific system since the rate 

 litigation began several years ago. These roads, ten in number, are now 

 operating as a part of the Missouri Pacific system, but by reason of 

 the fact that they were independent roads at the time the rate question 

 arose it has been deemed advisable to have a special master appointed 

 for each of them. 



.\cting upon the petition of the Iron Mountain attorneys. United 

 States District Judge Jacob Trieber on December 6 appointed Judge 

 .1. G. Wallace as special master for tliese roads. Judge Wallace is now 

 serving as special master for receiving and auditing claims filed against 

 the Iron Mountain & Cotton Belt lines. The small roads affected by this 

 are : Arkansas & Louisiana ; Mississippi Kiver, Hamburg & Western ; 

 Little Rock & Hot Springs Western ; Gurdon & Fort Smith ; Pine Bluff 

 iV: Western ; Brinkley, Helena and Indian Bay ; El Dorado & Bastrop ; 

 -Vrkansas & Southwestern.; Arkansas Midland. 



Considerable activity is being manifested in railroad building in 

 .Arkansas at present. The De Queen & Eastern, which is owned by 

 Dierks Lumber Company interests, has a surveying party in the field 

 for the purpose of making several extensions along its line, and con- 

 struction will begin in the early part of next year. Other improvements 

 are being made by the Memphis. Dallas & Gulf and the Ashley, Drew & 

 Northern, and other small roads in the state. The Memphis. Dallas & Gulf 

 will extend its line into Pine Bluff. The Ashley, Drew & Northern, which 

 Is now operating between Crossett and Monticello, will also extend its 

 line into Pine Bluff. These lines, it seems, are fighting each other in their 

 efforts to arrange for crossing the free bridge across the Arkansas river 

 at Pine Bluff. 



P.. Cinnamon of Batesville is planning to erect a stave mill near 

 Mountain Home. Several hundred acres of stave timber have been pur- 

 eliased by Mr. Cinnamon, and he proposes to manufacture them in that 

 vicinity for shipping out. 



On December 11 R. N. Galbreath, president of the Cotton Belt Savings 

 Hank at Pine Bluff, tendered his resignation as receiver for W. A. 

 Mathen-s & Co.. of Fort Smith, one of the largest manufacturing con- 

 cerns in the South, which voluntarily went into a receivership about two 

 months ago. Tlie receivership was a.sked by the company because of 

 financial embarrassments, but it is said that it will soon be lifted. No 

 reason is given by Mr. Galbreath for his resignation, Chancellor W. A. 

 I'alconer of the Fort Smith court appointed W. A. Dale of Fort Smith 

 to succeed Mr. Galbreath.
