THE UNEMPLOYED
One Hundred Men Laid Off This
Week-More Money! Needed

An atmosphere of gloom and depres-
sion pervaded the headquarters of the
Merchants and Manufacturers' aseocia-
ton. The COMMITTEES for the unemployed
have reached the end of their funds and
work on the boulevard in Elysian park
must soon stop. Thirty men were laid
off on Wednesday evening, thirty yes
terday and fifty more must go on Sat-
urday,
Places in the country have been found
for many, but applications are still COM
Ing in from men with families who have
not yet had anything to do. Any one
who Is at all skeptical as to the scarcity
Of work and the urgent need Of money
to continue the boulevard can soon be
convinced by listening to the stories of
hunger and extreme necessity that are
told at headquarters every day.

for the Portland Cement company, at
the same time that he was working for
the Crescent Coal company. Their books
are being subjected to an examination
by an expert, but 1t has not yet been
ascertained just how they stand.
Major Toberman was seen in regard to
the matter, but could give no accurate
information. He said: "Mr. Frazee's
manner Of keeping books wac very mys-
terious, and the work of Strengthening
them out Is necessarily very slow. He
did not keep a day book, and the ac-
counts have to be picked up from tags.
1t is impossible to state what the result
of the examination will show until it has
been completed"
The officials of the Crescent Coal COM
pany are very reticent about making
any statement concerning the amount
of Frazee's defalcation. and while they
admit that it is large, say that it il
impossible at the present time to even
approximate 1t with any degree of cer-
tainty. Immediately upon his depart
ure they began working on the books
where he left off, and they have been
working backward. When the auditor
Of the. company, who is doing the ex-
days ago, he took the books with him,
and will continue his work upon them
there.
Frazee also had charge Of the books
Of the Wiltshire company for awhile,
and 1t is understood that his accounts
there also are tangled. There are sew
eral stories current about the amount
Of money left by Frazee in the safe
when he left the Crescent Coal COM
pany. 1t was once stated that $500 was
found in the safe, but story has gained
currency lately that this was not the
case, and that very little If any cash
was found.
At the time of his departure Frazee's
friends were greatly surprised to hear
of it, and stoutly denied that he had
levanted. They claimed that his ac-
counts were perfectly straight and that
there could be no reason for his secretly
leaving the city Recent developments,
however, have proved the incorrectness
of this theory. The matter has been
placed in the hands Of the police de-
partment, and the officers are making
every effort to locate the defaulter.

IN WEST VIRGINIA.
Indications Are that the Miners VIII
Join the Strike.

PITrsBURG, July 17.-District mining
officials have come to a realization of
the gravity of the coal miners strike
situation, as far as the shipments of coal
from the district Just east of Pittsburg
and Clearfield and Cambria coal districts
are concerned. They have come to a
realization. of the fact that the coal from
these centers is playing havoc with the
cutting off of supplies for the Pittsburg
trade, thus initiating against the sue
cess of the strike.
An important meeting of the execu-
tive board and the district officials was
held this afternoon, Cameron Miller,
the national organizer, was present, and
the situation was discussed in detail. 1t
is now proposed to send organizers into
the districts, and induce the men to
come out in sympathy. 1t is not ex-
pected to bring every miner in these
sections out. Mines that furnish coal for
the seabord will not be molested. 1t is
proposed to hold number of mass meet
ings during the next week.
An important message from West Vir-
ginia was received at miners headquar-
ters today. It came from a state official
and states that the situation has under
gone a change, with indications strongly
in favor of the miners coming out. The
miners officials believe that the West
Virginia miners will be out, Monday
morning. One prominent operator was
heard to say that if the West Virginia
men came out there would be great dan
ger of coal famine.
The ranks of the miners are holding
firm, with no sign of a break at any
point. A very large number of meetings
will be held tomorrow to give encourage
ment to the men.
Arbitration Commissioner Schmidt,
who Is the only one of the commission
in the city tonight. received a telegram
from Commissioner of Labor Barton, of
West Virginia, announcing that the sit
uation in that state was entirely changed
and that he expected the miners to
strike,
