TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 8, 190T 10 CENTS PER WEEK WHITE STAR LINERS CHANGE HOME PORTS Liverpool To Be Abandoned In Favor of Southampton After June 6���Greyhounds Will Call at Plymouth And Cherbourg. Liverpool, Jan. 7.���The White Star Line tonight issued an official state- men to the effect that it had decided to transfer its service from Liverpool to Southampton, beginning June 6, involved In the change are the Oceanic, Majestic and Teutonic. West hound the .steamships will call at Cherbourg and proceed to Queens- town, where, in order to carry out the company's obligations to the government, they will embark mails, as well as passengers, sailing withoul any delay for Xew York. Eastbound they will call at Plymouth and theuce go to Cherbourg, ending the trip al South ampton. The leason for ibis step is to meet the growing demand of travellers for facilities enabling them to embark or disembark at a continental or British port and obviating the necessity of crossing the channel. While the announcement concerns only the vessels named it causes much chagrin, especially as Liverpool is now spending $20,1100,000 on a dock to accommodate the latest types of transatlantic greyhounds. Competition for the first class passenger business is becoming keener each year and the German companies, recognizing this, have been calling at both a French and a British port, and it is to meet this competition thai the White Slar Line's New York stemmships will cai 1 ai h-a.-t at one French port, it is thought Other British lines will be influenced by the action of the White Star Company.

No business of Importance was done at the meeting. with the exception of a motion that the usual rebate be granted to certain industries, which was unanimously carried. The members of the 1907 council met last evening in committee, but the proceedings were mostly of a routine nature. According to his organ, the Premier devoted one hour and ten minutes of labored explanations to offset a little "slush," which does not seem to say much for the political judgment of the said Premier. Smarting under the attacks made on its blundering school act, the government takes advantage of the teachers' convention and sends a school inspector here to defend the act. Great dodge, isn't it? I Do not believe Tory yarns about Liberal movements. Plenty of them are manufactured daily, as the poor Tories have nothing else to console them withal.

HILL DEFEATS RIVAL DRIFTING FLOES IN RAILROAD BATTLE SUSPEND TRAFFIC After Twelve Months' Constant War- Fraser River Fleet Lies Idle While fare, Harriman Confesses Him- Cakes of Ice Float on self Badly Beaten. Surface. Nearly 200 Hindus who were employed on railway construction for the G. N.R., near Mad Bay, struck work yesterday morning, and left their camp and returned to New Westminster, walking the whole distance with heavj pasks on their backs. The Hindus reached New Westminster about live o'clock last evening, and were directed to the police station, where a larg< number of them were given quarters foi the night. About forty of them sp< :.' thi night in the cells, and in the enclosed exercise court, sleeping on ���heir own blankets and whiling awaj be time bj talking and smoking. The cause of the trouble between tin men and their employer was explained to a News reporter by Mahomed Khan, an intelligent Hindu who speaks very good English. It appears thai thi man who employed them and whose name they do not appear to know, has lefused to pay the men any money for the work they have been doing f ir the past five weeks, and that there is also considerable difference of opinion as to the rate at which the men should be paid. The Hindus were hired to go out and work by contract, but after some time they discovered that the conditions governing them were such that it was impossible for them to make more than a few cents a day, and they asked to be allowed to work by day labor instead. This the contractor refused to allow, and the dissatisfaction resulting culminated in yesterdaj 's Btrike. Mahomet Khan explained that the Hindus had slashed nine acres of Umber, and graded 1,200 feet of road, and that no payment for this work was forthcoming. The men were obliged io buy their own wheel barrows, shovels and other tools, but the contractor refused to allow the men to remove this,, from the camp when they went on strike jester lay The Hindus, however, brought all their personal belongings along with them. Mr. Khan complained thai their employer refused to allow them to remain in the camp until the weather became a little milder, and insisted on their leaving the vicinity, telling them to get off the company's lands as soon as possible. Asked what the men would do, Mr. Khan sail that they were not destitute, and everyone of them had money. Some had ��5, and some had ��10. This money would be pooled, and they would rent a large house in the city, and go out there to live until they got work again. A number of the other strikers had gone to Millside while some of them were going to Vancouver.

The Harriman line, known as the Columbia River Railroad company, is withdrawing its construction forces, thereby confessing defeat. Within another week the last camp will have dismantled. The victory is Hill's. This was ihe only water grade through the Coast and Cascade Mountain ranges from the ocean lo Idaho, ��� xcepting the present line of the O. R. & .V. along the south bank. From ihe day Hill stole a march on his rival and locate.', a line along the north bank from Wallula Gap lo Cape Horn, the fight between the forces of Harriman and Mill companies has raged on the gra ies, in the tunnels and before tin- court.-. The latter proved Harriman's Waterloo.

Decisions were uniformly favorable to Hi'.!. Later, the Supreme Courl of Washington sustained these decisions, The crucial test came in a decision by the supreme court denying an ap- I eal for a new trial in the Diddle condemnation suii in Klickitat County.

R. McBrlde. By the same token it would be Interesting to know who-e nioui b organ the News is." One of these days when the Daily News starts a competition department, II will offer a prize for the solution of the question Is the above paragraph more worthj of remark as a sample of Ignorance or as a sample of Impudence? The point i- rather a line one. '.. to mixed metaphors, does not the poor Week know th it numerous things i 'her than musical Instrument i are called organs? and that there are musical Instruments called organs which ate not mouth organs?

While driving down Fronl Btreet Uncle Bill High was espied, and Edward W. Dohcrty thought no more genuine Marble- header could be found. Tho carriage came to a halt while the two men were made acquainted. After u few remarks about the weather, fishing, etc., the senator, with a twinkle in his eye, asked, "Can we drive around to Gloucester this way?" pointing to the east.
