Membership INCREASING
SECOND DAYS PROCEEDINGS
OF the Annual Convention of the
Union = Interesting Information
Concerning the Work Carried on
During the Past Year in Various
Parts of the COuntry-A Trip
Through Local Tobacco Factory.

The second day Of the fifth annual
session of the Tobacco Workers Inter-
| national Union was devoted principally
to review of the past years work, and
the proceedings were exceedingly inter-
| esting and profitable. Very encourag-
| ing reports were received from two of
the more important departments of the
organization.
! The delegates reassembled in Odd
| Fellows Hall at 3 o'clock in the morn
ing and after the roll call Henry Fisher,
president of the union, submitted his
yearly report, which was favorably re-
ceived. 1t showed that the association
membership had grown rapidly in the
past twelve months. Iwenty-seven num-
| dred new members had been admitted
| during that time and this was an in
crease OF per cent. for the past two
years. 1t also showed that the work
mad progressed satisfactorily in all
parts OF the country, especially in the
south, where stringent efforts had been
made to organize the tobacco workers.
| 1t was pointed out that in considera-
ton OF the fact that the employees OF
the southern factories were poorly ed
ucated the work had been very sue
cessful in that section. The negro cheap
| labor of the south and the lower class
| of white labor, it was stated, seemed to
| be Tie present menace of the organiza-
ton. 1t was further pointed out that
| this unfavorable condition arose from
| the fact that there were few labor
| unions in the south until the past two
| or three years, and the meager knowl-
edge among the workers as 10 the car
! dinal principles of organization rem
dered it doubtful that they would re-
! main together. 1t was necessary to Or
| ganize the men and also to teach them
| the principles of organization. The DEL
| egates. were informed that the wages
in the southern factories range from
60 cents to $1.25 day for the best
skilled labor, and that the average la
borer's wages Is dollar a day.
A report from the secretary, similar
| in some respects to the presidents
statements, was also received with ap-
prevail.
The delegates adjourned early In the
afternoon to meet again this morning,
and the remainder OF the day was spent
in a trip through the Block Bros to-
bacco works.

WESTON, W. Va, September 20
Both incoming trains from the north
landed some. of the "big guns" in the
oil business, men who have the money,
and it takes that now to do business
in the field.
The Camden hotel and Bailey house
are crowded, and you have to be on
the inside to even get room with
some private family.
A number, OF transfers on royalties
were made to-day, most OF them by
the South Penn. They are paying
fabulous prices and trying to get all
the royalty they can within five miles
of the we'll There is feeling against
the South Penn among the farmers
on account of holding their land on a
ten cent rental This makes their
buying royalty hard and caused them
to pay probably four times as much
anyone else would have to pay for
royalty. The farmers seem more dis
posed to let it go at half the price to
other people.
The Copley we'll is growing better
each hour, and to tell what it is doing
is impossible AS they cannot build
tanks fast enough to save the oil fully
one-half OF the production continues
to run into the creek and is now being
damned for miles below the well.
Thomas Reynolds, on whose land
nearby a well is expected in to-mor-
row, refused twenty thousand dollars
To dow For oua-ciytapnth Of his rOyalty
with further provision that he was
to have five thousand dollars addition
al in case of a producing well.
This is but one of the many similar
instances of offers that are being
made.
Guffey & Galley made two locations
to-day on small tract OF land ad-
joining the Copley well.
The United States Oil Company To-
Gated their first well in Lewis county
on the Barney Bohen farm, within
three-quarters of a mile northwest OF
the big gusher.
The Unity Oil Company made a
location to-day on the Bridget Cum
mings tract, near the gusher.
Fifteen teams, loaded with three
inch pipe, left here this afternoon for
the field. A two-ineh pipe line was
connected up to the well to-day. This
they find will be inadequate and the
three-inch line will be added as quick
ly as possible.

To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma-

eliminated from the blood-every vestage
of it driven out This S. S. S. does, and
is the only medicine that can reach deep

When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often in small way, as the
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows :
