GOVERNOR SAYS THAT TRAINS MUST RUN Will Not Hesitate to Call Session of Legislature. TALKS OF STRIKE Holds That it Would Ile Duty of State to See That Trains Were Operaled Trains wil The operated in South Carolina, strike or no strike, provided volunteers canl be procurel to man1111 them, according to Gov. It. A. Cooper, who last night, said that if it were considerd necess: ry, a special ses sionl of the legislature. would be call ed in order to draw up measures deemed expedient to meet the emer gency. It wis as no foe of organizel labor Ior of diective bavd'.gZiing that. the ch iet executive of the state said he sla.ke, but as an official who realizes, im its fullness, the meaning of cessa tion of rail vay traflic in this state at he presnt time. The leclinie in the price of farm product: raised in this state; the increase in the price of prolucts .aised in distant states and coountries; the sufelring anl the mis cry that Would follow in the wakc of a olllpl<t.- tieuip of railway traffic were visualized by the governor when he said .

Forecasts Con(litions "If this thre:ttoned railroad strike becomes a. reality," saiI the gover vor, 'it will mean tha t tie prices of practically everythi'wi we have to sell will deciinae, while the prices of prolucts wnich we have to buy will imerease. 'Freight rates are now sky high anil many agricultural prodiucts, especial!" those raised in the West, can not b sol(d because of high rates. "'The employees of the railroads ought to unlerstanl that the public is so vitally interested in the opera tioii of the railroadsL that, if suffi (a.lt labor can be had, the trains will be operated. "In. case the strike becomes a real ity, it would be the duty of the state to use every means inl its power to see that traims were operated. "If it should be consilereI advisa ble to hold a speceid session of the legislature, I would not hesitate to call it. "Neither would I hesitate to call for volunteers to ail in running the t ra im Is. "I expfuss no opinion as to the merits of the controversy between the rail ro:ls and their employees, but if the ciployees are receiving a living vage, they will find great difliculty il satislng a suffering public that a strikve is justiliable at this particu. lar time. Suggests Census "It would be advisable to begin to take a (ensus of the men who are not. nilbers of tihe un ion with a view to havng tle trainr operatel, for the trains must run. "The cotton fa rmer has suffered very materially by reason of the de ('ine in prices of cottoin as well as by the unprecelentel low production, ailnl no one ought to expect a govern ment, state or national, to falIi to take any measures which woulId prevent a further loss to those engaged in agri culture, since agriculture is the source of all oir wealth. "I would not have it understood that I say that the on ions l'ave no .egal right to go on strike, but they have no moral right to call a strike at a time when it would entail irre parable suffering. "The railroad mnagers an em ployees should be willing to have their controversy settled before the great court of puili!ic opinion.
