An unusually interesting session of
the Ohio Valley Trades and Labor As
sembly was held yesterday afternoon,
and motion to reconsider the resolu-
ton adopted at the previous meeting,
protesting against the proposed sub
scription by Ohio county of one-half
million dollars to the stock of the new
railroad through West Virginia, was
defeated by viva voce vote, which
was nearly unanimous. There were
present H. z. Protzman, manager of
the Uniontown, Waynesburg and West
Virginia railroad; Edgar Holmes, man
ager of the Pittsburg, Connellsville and
Wheeling railroad, committee COM
posed Of Walter Rinehart, chairman,
John Waterhouse and F. H. Lange, who
favored the subscription on behalf of
the citizens. Other prominent visit
ors and many representatives Of vari-
GUS locals also attended. The rival
claims of the two companies were fully
oAu SoAOAulAy PAO0CAtOu.
The meeting was called to order by
President Bauer and the reading of the
previous minutes were dispensed with.
1t was reported that strike was still
on at one of the local mills, the COM
pany refusing to recognize the en-
ployes' organization. Delegate Sims
announced that he had learned that
the Pittsburg printers strike had been
declared off by the national officers
and that last week all the papers ex-
cepting the Dispatch were still on the
unfair list. Delegate King, Of the en-
tertainment committee, reported prog
ress in arrangements for a smoker in
honor of the visiting delegates to the
tenth annual convention Of the Ma
tional Brotherhood of Operative Pot
tiers of America, to be held in this city
during the week. The affair will take
place at Assembly hall next Thursday
evening and the members OF every local
are invited to be present. Another del
egate reported failure to organize the
laundry workers.
The visiting representatives of the
business men and the two proposed
railroads through the county were
given an opportunity of addressing the
delegates.

Interesting Arguments.

Walter Rinehart, who spoke first,
recently had been apprised of the AS
sembly's action relative to the railroad
project and that committee had been
appointed to appear before the Assem-
bly, as representative citizens with "a
view of having the action reconsidered
in favor of the proposed railroad. He
then spoke of the benefits that would,
no doubt, be derived from such an I'M
dertaking if carried through success
fully.
F. H. LANCE next addressed the del
egates and said that he was unable to
determine what had caused the AS
sembly to adopt resolutions disapproy-
ing Of the project, that it seemed to
HON like a conundrum. A safeguard
had been placed around this proposed
subscription of 100000 and he was
heartily in favor of it.
Mr.. White asked how many miles of
this road would extend through Ohio
county and Mr.. Protzman answered
that there would be six. He then gave
detailed description of the contem-
plated line and explained the circum-
stances under which it was started. He
assuringly pointed out the extent to
which the line would benefit industrial
conditions Of Wheeling and vicinity
as it would open up and develop one
of the richest coal regions in Penn
sylvania. He also spoke Of the value
of what is known as the Pittsburg
seven-foot coal vein, Of which Greene
county is the basis.
Gabriel Jackson asked if the sub
scription would raise the taxes and on
being answered in the affirmative he
stated that with an increase in taxes
would suffer from the consequences.
MIR. Devine said he did not believe
there was man who thought that the
Pittsburg, Connellsville and Wheeling
road ought not to be built and that the
question remained as to how it would
be built. Such a railroad into Wheel
ing would certainly be of great benefit,
as West Virginia possesses such rich
coal fields and the freight rates would
be greatly reduced.
Mr.. Rinehart again took the floor
and said that at the time the Terminal
was being erected it was stated by Mr..
Bissel that if he lived it would be ex-
tended into the Connellsville region.
He felt certain that u would have
been put through had Mr.. Bissel lived.
He had information that they have
been unable to extend the line owing
to the opposition of other roads enter
ing Wheeling.
The project would greatly benefit the
community as it would put the local
industries on an equality with Pitts
burg He also stated that he thought
the Assembly had opposed the project
through a miSconception. He had not
heard a substantial argument against
it. He was of the opinion that IL it was
defeated the action would only be in
the interest of the Pennsylvania rail-
road and to the detriment of the COM
mercial interests Of Wheeling and vi
entity.

SAYINGS OF BRYAN.
Aunt Jane.

"The capitalist can see an ad-
vantage in miIitarism and impe-
rialism, but where is the laboring
mans share? He will furnish
sons for the army.
"Those who attempt to divide
private monopolies into good mo-
nopolies and bad monopolies will
never make any progress toward
the overthrow Of the trusts,
"What will be the effect upon
the character Of the future gener-
ations if we encourage the pro-
fessional soldier at the expense
of the civilian, and teach the
creed that might makes right?
"A monopoly can absolutely
control its working men, for if a
strike occurs in one state, the
factory can be closed down indef-
initely while the employees are
starved into submission.
During the present adminis-
tration no honest effort has been
made to protect the people from
monopolies.
SIS it not reasonable to expect
that the monopoly, after eliminate
ing the salesmen and adding
their salaries and expenses to the
profit account, will seek a further
profit by raising prices and low
ering wages?

every father and mother to pres

Letter 70 Tbe People.

To the readers Of this paper and especially to the
citizens of Sharp County wish te say that expect
again to be strictly in it when it comes to the cotton
business this Fall.
We have no intention of utalizng this space IN
throwing boque+s at ourselves by reminding you how
much we have done in the past, but would rather
other people would manage the flower act for u.s.
Five years in business not long time yet II is
peculiarly gratifying to be able to claim among
friends goodly number who have stood by US from
the beginning. We appreciate these old standbys
along with our newer standbys; because it is pleas
ure to satisfy folks and because incidentally their
patronage is quite help.
Our only excuse for this advertisement is to keep
our present patrons posted and to offer those who
are not IN the fold some inducements that may lead
4 them to give a trial.
We confidently believe that will pay high, if {
not higher, prices for cotton than any else in
North Arkansas,
Our place of busiressis some miles nearer to the
western part of Sharp County than any other rail-
, road town.
\ We always pay cash for cotton ard ask no ques
tions until after you have the money for your Feecy
z Staple.
We are glad to say we believe cotton is going to
+ bring good price this season, which will make us
: all feel good.
All letters OF inquiry will be cheerfuly answered.
