HITHER LINK III A RVERPROJECT Dedication of Fern Bank Dam, Near Cincinnati, Will Be Big Event.

(Palladium Sp-ci.li CINCINNATI, Sept. 1. The long postponed dedication of the Fern i Bank Dam, the thirty-serenth link in the chain of artificial laker, which will give the Ohio river a nine-foot stage from Pittsburg to Cairo when the last of the fifty-four dams is completed, and which la expected to bring about a thorough revival of'river commerce, finally is about to take place. When

the Ohio Valley Exposition was planned nearly two years ago, it was decided that a feature of that enterprise should be the dedication of the Fern Dank Dam. But, alas, the elements Interfered; the government contractors could not work on the dam as they thought they might, and the opening and closing of the Ohio Valley Exposition last fall found the dam still unfinished; and so there was no dam celebration. Now, however, this gigantic work, which cost the United SU tes government about $1,300,000 and which gives Cincinnati a slack water harbor 26 miles in length and a depth ranging from 12 feet at the dam f.o 9 feet at the upper extremity, is completed and has been used for some time in making the harbor of Cincinnati an extremely active sport, where formerly It was decidedly innocuoun during the low water period. Nothing, therefore, can interfere with the celebration of the completion of a work, that means so much, not only to the people of Cincinnati, but to every person on the Ohio river, as it is another and an important step toward .the habituation of river traffic, promising a new era for this section of the fertile and progressive Middle West. Program Arranged. ' The program arranged for the propter observance of the great improvement covers a period of six days, beginning on Monday evening, September 4, when a mass meeting and concert will be held in Music hall. Addresses on the subject of the Fern Bank Dam and on "Home Coming," will be delivered by prominent speakvers, while music will be furnished by an augmented orchestra, the three hundred members of the United Qerixnan Singers, and the great pipe origan. On Tuesday there will be a steamboat parade, with the' Island 'Queen as flagship. Prominent visitors from all ,parts of the Ohio Valley will be guests of honor on this trip, which will have the dam for its destination. Here

PESSIMISTIC VIEW ON LABOR TROUBLES

England Faces Another In

dustrial Conflict Precipitated by Rail Strike.

LONDON, Sept. 1. Great Britain

stands today, upon the verge of an

other great industrial outbreak. Un

rest, precipitated by charges of dis

crimination against the great Eastern railroad employes, is spreading. Labor leaders predict that if the struggle comes. It will plunge the United

Kingdom into a paralyzing conflict.

Employes of the Great Eastern

made complaint to the Central strike committee in this city that their em

ployers were not carrying ' out the terms of the board of trade agreement by which all strikers in the first walk

out were to be reinstated.

Government conferences were hasti

ly arranged today and an important

meeting between representatives of

the railway employes union and the

Great Eastern railroad company was called for tonight.

Reports from throughout the Uni

ted Kingdom were disquieting. At Stratford the strike committee has made preparations to call the men out atonce.

The situation has reached such a

status that the entire railroad field is

affected by the conditions on the Great Eastern. As a result of, this a strike on any one line would precipitate a walkout on all lines throughout England, Scotland and Wales. The most pessimistic feeling prevailed in the railroad world today, both among workmen and officials of the 27 companies. The stock market was depressed by the outlook and railroad shares were hard hit.
