American Dispute Ends In Gun Battle.

(Received 8.45 a.m.) NEW YORK, October 2. A message, from Marion (North Carolina) states a clash between rival union factions and 'deputy slierrifs the Marion Textile Manufacturing* Company’s plant resulted in two killed and fourteen injured, five of whom are expected to die. A general gnu battle caused the fatalities.

vious year when the decrease was £158,884, the fact must not lie overlooked that the decrease in ordinary passenger traffic still continues. Freight revenue totalled £4,54G,125, an increase of £165,990, or 3.55 per cent., as compared with the figures for the previous year. The principal increases were in grain, butter, cheese, wool, agricultural lime, soft coal, road metal, benzine and artificial manures. The live-stock traffic totalled 10,319,768 head, an increase of 560,311 as compared with the previous year. WORKSHOP SCHEME. Discussing the new workshops scheme, the Minister says it arose 'out of two factors—(l) the unsuitability of the old workshops for the purpose for which they were being used, and (2) the direct flnan-

being recommended, what is the most useful type for the particular service required in each case. In this ,latter connection the rapid development that has taken place in recent years in connection with various types of rail-cars, particularly Diesel electric aiqd other similar types, renders it very desirable, more especially in view of the very large issues involved, that we should have first-hand information regarding the most modern types of vehicles and their adaptability to our conditions. To that end I propose to send abroad immediately a competent officer to inquire on the spot into the actual performance of the vavioiig kinds of rail-cars on railway systems where they have been adopted. I confidently expect that during the coming year we shall be ' able to formulate definite proposals.
