TO BUILD THE LINK
THE COMING SUMMER
That Is the Plan Of the Projec-
tors Just Now--Mr. Weity
Talks cf the Through
Routes 5 Laid Out
by the N. O. T.

Everything points to the speedy
building of the southern extension of
the Canton-Akron electric railway to
New Philadelphia. Friday F. e. Moore,
president of the Northern Ohio Trac-
tion company, manager. superintendent
and treasurer of the Canton-M -Massillon
line, ]. F. Ross, civil engineer, the
Hon. John C. Welty, of Canton, and
David II. Murray and DR.. e. c. Lewis,
of Canal Dover, went over the line
from Canton to Massillon, from there
to Navarro, and thcn by carriage to
New Philadelphia, the object being to
look up southern route.
1t has been stated that as soon as
the northern section from Canton to
Akron has been completed the working
force will be transferred to the south
ern end of the line and that link will
be built next summer. Messrs. Welty
Hoover and Kolp, who were officers
of the Canton-Akron company, and who
owned the franchise prior to it's trans
fer, have franchise from New Phil
adelphia to Canton, and it is under
stood that negotiations are on looking
toward the transfer of these rights to
the N. o. T. people.
This Is possibly why Mr. Welty ac-
companied the party. 1t is understood
that he will be associated with this
company in the preliminaries at least
of extending the line.
Mr.. Welty was seen by News-Dem-
ocrat reporter and asked as to the trip.
He was disinclined to make any reye-
lations, but finally said:
Il think the building of the line
south would he one of the best things
that could happen for Canton. My
concern is to have this city on the
main line even though the road does
start south from Navarro. This could
be done If the road north from Mas
sillon to Akron is not built. If this
line Is abandoned and the main traffic
is TO come through canton, the COM
pany can deal with lis for the fran
chise on very liberal terms"
What effect will the change of own
ership have on the service in the city?"
was asked.
81 believe it will very materially i'm
prove it. The new company is COM
posed of experienced street railway men
who have the means of making what
ever Improvements are needed | am
satisfied that there will be new rolling
stock and continuous service, and that
whatever is needed to take care of the
business in the city will be done |
think the service will be the best the
city has ever had and as good as 1t
can be-"

TOUGH PICKING.
Canton-Akron Company Re-
fused to Pay Blacksmith
Bill and Was Sued.

j. p. Phillips commenced an action
in Justice Reigner's court Saturday
afternoon to collect blacksmithing
bill from the Canton-Akron railway
company. Phillips stated to the JUS
tice that Superintendent Dorwin had
kicked on the bill because he had
charged for sharpening the picks used
on the hard concrete of the streets. He
wanted the price reduced to 2k cents
which would make difference of 81
in the total amount of the bill. Phil
lips did not propose to have the rich
corporation do him in that way, and
concluded to sue. He stated that he
got five cents point from others, and
did not feel like making concessions
to this company, especially when the
picks were SO dull that it took more
than the usual amount of work. 40

MIDDLE AT PITTSBURG.
Freight Traffic Managers There
Are Up Against a Very Hard
Proposition.

"The condition of the freight busi-
ness in Pittsburg at the present time
is something frightful," said a railroad
man Friday.
"The roads there are unable to take
care of the business. Cars are wanted
and wanted badly, but they are not to
be had. The business there is in a
terrible muddle and the end is not yet
in sight.
There does not seem to be any solrl-
tion to the problem of how to move
the freight at that point, and the rail-
road men there are worried lot of
men. This condition prevails to less
er extent all over the country, but 1t is
worse in Pittsburg than in other places
owing to the strike of the switchmen
there.
"In all my railroad experience
have never seen such condition of
affairs in the freight department of the
railroads, and slump in business
would be welcome thing for them.
Of course l do not mean that the rail-
road men want the business to go to
the bad, but there has been such a
rush in the freight department that
they would welcome a gradual reduc-
tion of business until they are able to
catch up.
'The business of the past year has
been so great that the railroads were
entirely unprepared for it, and the re-
suit Is that they have been unable to
take care of it as they would like"

Hitherto Unopened to Troieys.

Akron, Dec. 13.-The route OF the
Cleveland, Akron and MassillOn cleo

selected and men are at work securing
the necessary consents Tor a right of

This is the road that is being pro-
NOTED by Attorney Thomas l.. Childs

is back of him in the venture. It has
been suggested that he is being backed
by the Little Consolidated street rail
way of Cleveland. the rival of the Big
Consolidated which is owned by the
Everett-Moore syndicate.
1t is said that the Little Console
dated has long sought an opportunity
to build line between Cleveland and
Akron to compete with the A., b. " c..

liminary work for the construction of
such line.
When asked about this Mr.. Childs
refused to talk He says that he has
the necessary backing to make the line
a success, but will not tell who is back
of him. At the present time MIR.

T. Vandeusen, of Columbus, will extend
along the east bank of the Muskingum

feature of the new organization is that
its route lies almost parallel with the

Childs has a number of men at work
securing rights of way in this city for
the proposed line, and they are meet
ing with marked success.
According to the present plans of Mr..
Childs, the road will enter the city at
Thornton street over the boulevard.

Gain in Membership Said to Have Been the
Result of Labor Fight.

One of the most surprising develop

Labor convention at Scranton, to date,
was the statement the other day as
cribed to President Samuel Gompers
to the effect that the Amalgamated as
sociation gained in membership
through the steel strike of the past
summer.
It is presumed that Gompers made
this contention in supporting his po-

workers, an explanation of which is
likely to be asked before the conven-

PLUMBER NEXT
Clans Prepare to Divide
the Spoils.
(From a STAFF correspondeut.)

(From a StaE CorresDondent)
Columbus. Dec. 13.-They are all ad.
mitting now that it Is only question
of division of the plunder. That is
what has been contended in this cor.
respondence from the time Senator Pat.
terson uncorked his voice in the Neil
house lobby and vowed that Hanna
would rule or ruin everything. Many
able gentlemen, accustomed to con.
STRUNG political situations, said that
in feud between Hanna and For.
aker winch wonld result in the annihtl.
alton of both, they sill had confidence
In the stamina of Foraker. They were
right in their premise, II the stamina
feature had not been overlooked. Those
who have watched Foraker for the
past few years, know that he has put
aside his friends for his ambition to
again sit in the senate. He likes the
Job better than he does his independs
ence, and he has quietly dumped those
who made him what he is, even stand
ing by him through the ballot box
scandals, and the fifty-year- franchise
stealings. nm
He will go back to the senate Mo-
body can stop him. All the Hanna
men will vote for him. His old friends
can accomplish nothing by throwing
him down now. They are powerless
to get what they want themselves and
could get nothing by dumping the once
fiery Joe.
WILL TROT DOUBLE. aAd'
So he will go in, just as has been de-
clared from the outset. He will say
nauseatingly pleasant things about
Hanna every time he gets a chance,
just as he did at the Delaware opening
of the last campaign, and Hanna will
jolly him. The precious pair will trot
double, and the Republican party win
stand for both Of them.
There is bitterness against Foraker,
but that does not mean that Kurtz and
his following may not get job or two
out of the quarrel. Foraker Is whip
ped, because he is gutter, but Kurtx
is not hurt much and George B. Cox
Is made ruler of the roost again. Han
ma has gained because Cox is friendly
to him, but that does not mean chat
Hanna can have everything he wants.
1t so happens that some Of Hanna's
men are favored by Cox, but 1t also
happens that some of them are not, so
Hanna will only get what Cox wants
him to have, after all. '
Representative Price claims that the
change in the political aspect has not
changed his fortunes. He claims that
he has the friendship Of Cox, and that
he has enough votes pledged from
counties outside of Hamilton, to elect
him, of Cox is for him. ~
