MITCHELL WILDE REFLECTED.
Seet'y Wilson Fears Lack Of Trans
=, portation Facilities VIII Hurt
Mining Business.

indianapolis, Dec. 27.-Secretary
Wilson of the United Mine Workers of
America said that the lack of trans
portation facilities is doing perma-
nent injury to the coal mining bust
ness throughout the country. The
shortage of fuel in the larger cities,
he thinks, will accustom the people to
burn smaller quantities, causing less
demand. Many mines have been shut
down and others are only operating
hale time.
President Mitchell, Vice President
Lewis and Secretary Wilson will be
reelected without opposition at the
national convention of the miners,
which will begin here in January.
The nomination blanks have been sent
out to all of the local unions, and no
other names for these positions have
been presented. Mitchell decided to
remain at the head of the organization
another year.

Coal Famine ls Broken
Say Railway Officials.
CARS ARE CONGESTED
Owing to Heavy Grain Ship
ments to the East but Situa-
tion Is Rapidly Being
Relieved.

Cleveland, Dec. 27.-Oficials of the
trunk lines centering in Cleveland yes
terday expressed themselves as conf
dent that all danger of a coal famine
in this city is over. Confidence is also
expressed that even IL a long pro-
tracted coal spell should come the diff
ferent roads would be able to carry all
the coal necessary to supply an un-
usually heavy demand. For the last
few days there has been little If any
delay in getting coal into the city.
But the same condition does not ex-
list in regard to carrying other lines of
freight. The patrons of the dofferent
roads are experiencing some difficulty
in getting their goods delivered any,
where near on time. This condition
is said to be not due to any congestion
on the different lines, but almost en-
tirely to lack of equipment, especially
cars.
One of the traffic officials said yester-
day that while the situation is annoy
ing the same conditions were apt to
exist every winter, and that in reality
the merchants are suffering compare
lively little inconvenience this year.
He says that the situation Is nothing
compared to last year, when traffic was
in terribly congested state, and at
times there we're between 10000 and
10000 loaded cars tied up between Chi
cago and Buffalo.
AS fast as cars are loaded this year
they can be rapidly handled, and a
shortage of cars is the only trouble
now, the officials say. Almost entire
relief IS predicted in this matter also
shortly after the first of the yecr.

Canton Capitalist Saves
Ind ustry for Norwalk.
LOTS SOLD QUICKLY
But Stock In Steel Mill
Wouldn't Go Until ]. e. Car
nahan Bought 100000
Worth.

A large investment of Canton capt.
tai has been made in the new steel
plant which has Just been located at
Norwalk. j. e. Carnahan, Of the Car
nahan tin plate mill of this city is
president of the Norwalk concern and
It Is understood has purchased stock
to the amount 100000. Mr.. Edward
Langenbach is also interested to a
smaller extent as we'll as several other
Canton capitalists.
The steel plant Is to be built at an
expense Of $5OO,OOO. 1t is to be named
the Norwalk Steel and Iron company
and will at the outset manufacture
q high grade of tool steel.
A feature of interest to Cantonians
in Connection with this industry is the
fact that 1t was secured upon the same
plan as that adopted to secure the mill
for Canton.
SOLD THE LOTS.
Options were secured on 1,500 acres
of land. Five hundred lots were plat
ted on this tract and sold to Nor
walk citizens, thus realizing sufii-
Client sum to pay for the entire portion
covered by the options. A site for the
steel mill has been reserved and 1t
will be erected without delay.
In spite Of the, success which at
tended the sale of the lot, great deal
of trouble was experienced in financing
the company and for a time failure
stared the promoters In the face Some
OF the men who had supported the
company in the start withdrew their
support just as soon as the project be-
came questionable, leaving vast
amount of the stock on the hands of
those who were pushing the enter
prise.
CANTON'S MR.. CARNAHAN.
In their extremity they turned IN
j. q. Carnahan, who was know to be
interested in industries of that class.
Mr.. Carnahan readily came to the res
cue and put the company on its feet
by buying the immense block Of stock
mentioned above.
It Is not Mr.. Carnahan's intention
to change his residence to Norwalk on
account Of his new interests there He
has much more invested in Canton and
+. expects to make this his permanent
place of residence, having recently pur-
chased the spacious residence on West
Tuscarawas street, at present occupied
by Miss Buckingham's seminary. Mr..
Carnahan and his family will occupy
this home in the spring after num-
ber of extensive improvements have
been made upon 1t.
