Of the Laughlin mill company in regard

since the tin plant has been gobbled by
the trust, the mill company is anxious to
have them use the coal from their mines.
Bids for the furnishing Of coal have been
received from other mines in the vicinity.
II is alleged the Laughlin company in or
der to underbid the other mine owners
having lids in, have asked their miners
to dig for $50, which is twenty cents be-
low the scale price. The men have been
questioned on the matter and the general
answer has been in the negative. AS they
are union men it is hardly possible they
will accede to the demands Of the manage
rent. To-day it is expected that some
decision or agreement WI be arrived at,
but just what it will be is hard to state,
as the miners are in an undecided cond.-
ton. at least some Of them. II is alleged
that some of the nen are w~iliiz to work
for this price, while others wi not.

A BIG PURCHASE.

Large Properties Pass Into the Hand of
the Great Northern Railroad Co.
Duluth, MINI, January 27.-The
Great Northern Railroad Company has
purchased the entire holdings in Min
nesota of the Wright-Davis people of
Michigan, with the exception of their
pine lands. 1t therefore now owns the
Duluth, Mississippi River & Northern
railroad, the Swan River Logging Com
pany and the Mahoning, Longyear &
Bennett mines near Hibbing. A check
for s5,000,0 coo has been given to the
Wright-Davis people for their prop
erty. Negotiations have been under
way for several weeks, and yesterday
in ST. Paul the transaction was closed
and the property passed into the hands
Of the Great Northern Railroad Com
pany.
The Duluth, Mississippi Valley &
Northern railroad was built from Swan
River, a point on the present Fosston
branch of the Great Northern railroad,
to a point about twelve miles north Of
Hibbing. With all the branches there
is about 100 miles Of standard guage
railroad. The Great Northern railroad
has been carrying this company's ore
to the Allouez bay ore dock under a
traffic contract and found the property
a desirable one to acquire. Its logging
business is also very large. The deal
is of great interest, because it warks
the advent of the Great Northern to
the Messaba iron range, where it may
offer competition to the Rockefeller
syndicate and Minnesota Company.

PERTAINING 70 INDUSTRY.
Pure Food Agitation Here and at
Charleston.
Mr.. BAKER, OF RANDOLPH, WILL
BE URGED TO WITHDRAW HIS
BILL SOMETHING OF THE
MILLS AND FACTORIES HERE
AND IN NEARBY TOWNS.

The canning and pressing interests
hf Wheeling and vicinity are very
much interested in the pure food and
drug law pending in Congress, and
which they hope to see passed before
the close of the present session. AS
has been heretofore stated in the
Register, Mr.. ". B. MeMechen, of the
Geo. X. McMechen & Sona Co., who was
recently elected vice president for West
Virginia at the National Pure Food
Congress, expects to present the bill
before the West Virginia Legislature
at an early date and urge its adoption.
1t appears, however, that this move
ment is not yet understood at Charles
ton, or ii it is, no heed is being given it.
At any rate Mr.. Baker, of Randolph,
has introduced Senate Bill No. So,
creating the Office of dairy and food
commissioner for the State of West
Virginia. AS this bill conflicts with
the plan mapped out by the National
Il OJu AOlSI6sS, 4ll. NINAlON1iSh ySCISl
day sent a statement to Delegate II. f..
Behrens, asking him to have the situa-
ton fully explained, and if possible to
have Mr.. Bakers measure withdrawn
or suspended in committee.
Those advocating the national law
say such q measure as contemplated by
Mr.. Baker would only complicate mat
tiers, while it would not ameliorate
conditions it is proposed to rectify.
Manufacturers OF food products at
present have to contend with the Ohio
and Pennsylvania laws, and for the
West Virginia Legislature to enact a
law SEPARATE and distinct would be an
%agravation rather than q benefit. Can
ned goods and packages now sent to
Pittsburg jobbers necessarily have diff
ferent formula upon the wrappers, as
they are intended for the Ohio or Penn
~sylvania trade, and if West Virginia
should pass a law a third formula
would have to be observed.
Under the national pure food meas
ure, if it be made the law of the States
by separate adoption by the Legisla-
lures, requirements and restrictions
will be uniform and present difficult
ties abridged. Thirteen States have as
many different food laws, and manufac-
|turers must comply with all in quality
and formula if their goods find a mar
Rket within their borders. There will
perhaps be no difficulty Unloading leg
slators to see the adY e of uni
E6oity among the states, but it is a
Ell will get through

present session of the Legislature.
