CHICAGO, Dec. 2I.-The committee
representing the engineers, firemen. con.
ductors and trainmen of the Santa Fe
railway system declared tonight that they
would not advise strike in sympathy
with the telegraphers. The committee,
consisting of J. F. Reddy and Irving
Wellmap, representing the engineers;
Thomas Burke, representing the firemen;
H. c. Scott, representing the trainmen,
and w. H. Hutton Of the conductors, is
sued the following statement:
"As members of the committee repre-
senting the engineers, fremen and train
men on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe railway, we wish to say that, at the
request of the telegraphers, we have en-
deavored to bring about satisfactory
settlement of the differences between the
railroad company and the telegrsphers.
After careful and thorough investiga-
ton Of the causes which led to the con-
troversy and after listening to the state
ments of the telegraphers and also state
ments of the telegraphers and also state
ments from Mr.. Barr, third vice president
of the road, we wish to state to the public
as we'll as to the different organizations
that we represent, that while we regret
that we are unable to bring about a set
tlement between the telegraphers and the
railroad company we also wish to advise
the members of the organizations repre-
sented by US that the labors Of the COM
mittee are completed and the attitude of
our members will be neutral during the
existence Of the present controversy. Our
meeting with Mr.. Barr was a pleasant
one, he expressed desire to maintain
friendly relations with labor organiza-
tions as long as they were conducted on
business principles

Franchise Tax Law.

ALBANY, Dec. 2I'-Many amendments
to the franchise tax law are expected to
appear at the coming Legislative session.
In putting the law into effect it has been
found that the taxing of highway cross
ings in the country does not pay. 1t is
probable that an amendment will he in
troduced altering the law in this regard.
Another criticism directed against the law
is that it requires the state to assess
franchises at their full value, as the rate
for assessing real estate ranges from IS
to o5 per cent. in the different counties.
Some corporations have gone to the
courts and had their assessments equal
lied with other real estate. There is also
no penalty for cities, towns and village
officials failing to report assessment of
franchises promptly, so the taxes on
many franchises are not collected at all.

A Booming State.

1: Governor A. B. White, while in

paper reporters about the result OF the
election in this state but. very properly,
like the good West Virginian he Is. put
in good word for the state as . desira-
bile field for investors. There Is no
doubt but what West Virginia in the
next four years will surprise her older
listers in the Union In the development
OF her almost inexhaustible resources.
The only obstacle In the way Of rapid
progress Is transportation facilities, and
this Is rapidly being overcome by the
construction OF new. railroads and the
survey OF other lines which undoubted
ly will be built.
Many Of the lines under construction
are nearing completion, and they in
ciude such important enterprises as, the
extension Of the West Virginia Central.
connecting with the Chesapeake & Ohio,
I, the extension Of the Short Line road
connecting with the Ohio River, be-

In the southern part Of the state sew
T. eral new roads are building and many
others are projected. These with the
new line to be built to Wheeling from
I the connellsville coke region. will have
a marvellous effect upon the growth of
the state in the next year or SO. In the
meantime scarcely I day passes but
what the purchase OF large coal and
timber tracts is not chronicled.
In connection with the development
OF timber interests and the opening OF
hmines, the Parkersburg West yirginian,
which devotes its entire attention to
exploiting the resources OF the state,

Mr.. c. c. McCarty. OF Buckhnnnon

i. within the past few months impor-
tant lumber developments have been &C.
curing in West Virginia. Many new
tracts have been opened and with the
increase OF railroads In the interior OF
