State Commissioner OF Labor
First Car Through Benwood.

FIrst Gar through BenW0Od.
The company ran car to Benwood
yesterday afternoon. and It proved an
interesting experience. On board were
Secretary Shirley. two or three deputy
marshals and about six non-unIonists.
Many distractions were encountered on
the tracks near the Riverside, but the
ride through the town proper was COM
partlvely tame. there being little boot
ing INDUCED in.
The return trip. that is, from Schad's
crossing to the barns. occupied three
quarters OF an hour, owing TO the OBJ
structions on the rails. These consist
ed chiefly of big boulders, barrels and
pieces Of lumber. The car didn't have
clear track for more than two lengths,
and the non-unionists were tired set
after hurting all the rocks and other
distractions from the track. The slow
progress Of the car was the occasion
for the gathering OF probably 100
women, young men and children. and
they swarmed around the car, shouting
''black sheep" "scabs." and other
choice epithets. Their jeers changed to
cheers when the men were hardly equal
to the task Of pushing back big boul-
der.
No violence was attempted until the
barns were reached. Then an egg,with
accurate aim, caught a man, on the
rear platform. on. the neck. The car
continued up to Wheeling and returned
to the barns about i:55 O'clock in the
afternoon.

To persons living at Martins Ferry,

have business at House & Herrmann's

1t is automatically stated that there will
be no conference between the street

til Saturday afternoon, consequently
the continuation Of the strike will ma
terinlly inJurc the chances OF hundreds
OF our own customers and thousands of

extend an invitation to our customers
who have business at our store to ride
to and from their homes free OF cost.

William W. Odell. of Parkersburg. a
young man OF stalwart figure and at
tractive appearance. Mr.. Odcll was
one of Roosevelt's Rough Riders. and
participated In the memorable Santiago

that he was union man. and came to
Wheeling, as he understood, to protect
the United States malls. but ''he hadn't
seen as much as postal card on any

and badge to Marshal Thompson. and
later. at the barns. gave his revolver to
Deputy Stout. The crowd around the
barns gave him the glad hand for re-

The ice war promised for this summer

Ing of the Peoples Ice Company last
might, IT was stated that many of the
stockholders had received favorable
prices from the local dealers, and owing
to this move on the part Of the oppo-
sition, the Peoples company will not
proceed to solicit funds for the contem-
plated independent ice plant, being con-
tent for the present with the cheaper
rates offered. but the organization will
be maintained.
The meeting was held in the first
branch council chamber, and the at
tendance was large. Mr.. Lennon pre-
sided, and Mr.. 4Thurber acted US secre-
tary. 1t was reported that local deal
ers had submitted cheaper rates than
were insisted on by the Wheeling Ice
Exchange last year, and which 1t Will
be remembered went into force on May

Learning the Route.

There were thirty-two men all told.
on the Benwood car. which was sent to
the barns shortly before o'clock.
Among this number were two marshals
and the two operators. the remainder
having performed their duties by riding
around and becoming acquainted with
the route. When the car came along,
loaded to the guards, the spectators
thought 1t was bringing new batch of
men. but they were all arrivals of the
previous day. Various estimates place
the number cooped In the barns from
thirty-flve to flfty-five. and 1t Is said at
one time that there were eighty-one.

The company did not have out as
large number of cars as anticipated.
There were five in operation; two that
ran with a degree of regularity on the
Bridgeport branch. and three that were
run on the main line. In the city there
was no violence of any character,

United States Marshal John X.
4 Thompson, after his first days expert
ence at Benwood, has come to the con-
clusion that he has not sufficient force
at his command to control the situation.
Heicame here early yesterday morning,
with twelve deputies. m
This morning he leaves for Parkers-
burg to report to Judge Jackson his In
ABILITY to control the situation with
these men, some of whom are green
men, upon whom he cannot place much
dependence. The marshal believes
that the result Of his conference with
Judge jackson will be the bringing of
q larger force to this city for duty in
the outlying communities, where the
operations Of the company have been
INSTRUCTED, more especlaIIy Upper Ben
wood. =
The marshal states that he could have
made fifty arrests in Upper Benwood
yesterday afternoon, had he followed to
the letter the injunction issued by
Judge Jackson. He preferred how
ever, to avoid any arrests on the first
day OF his visit. and instead took oc-
caslon to warn the man. persons who
placed distractions on the tracks that
there must be no repetition of such
tactics In support of the strike.
Marshal Thompson last night in
structed his chief deputy Wilton RAN
dolph. to arrest all persons found in
any way obstructing the operations Of
the street car lines. There would be
no repetition of the lenlencv shown yio-
lators Of the law yesterday. Deputy
randolph Is tried man, who Will fol-
low the instructions of his chief so far
as lies IN his power. so 1t Is likely there
VIII be numerous arrests to-day II ir-
responsible sympathizers OF the strikers
persist in the course the' followed yes
terday afternoon in North Benwood.
Marshal Thompson gave an interest,"
ing account OF the trip of the car
through Benwood yesterday afternoon,
and said there were so many comicalI-
ties connected with 1t that he found It
difficult to take the situation with the
seriousness that was really demanded.
One old woman, he said, came out on
the hillside In Upper Benwood and
1raHtically waved pair Of shears In
, a manner that was highly dlverting.
