Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1901-03-21

A man who has just retired from
the employ of the Pennsylvania rail-
road after fifty years of continuous
service as night Waterman declares
that he is the luckiest railroad man
on record. He has never been repri-
manded, never met with an accident
and never caused one. On the other
hand, he once stopped the Philadel-
phia express on the edge of a wash
out, and saved 200 lives. In spite of
many temptations, an oath never
passed his lips during all his years of
service and he has never used tobac-
co or tasted liquor. Perhaps his eff
cheney and freedom from accident
were not due entirely to luck.

ed that his companions had been
drowned The five had reached a raft
anchored some distance out in front
of Cranmer's beach, and while on il
had been swept into the sea by some
big waves which poured over them.
The accident was unseen by the other
bathers, who were disporting in the
surf and ii was not until Bouse gave
the alarm that assistance came. Eff
forts were made to get the bodies by
dragging with a seine. but these were
of no avail. Some time later the bod
les of the Sherman and Gaskell boys
came ashore. but those OF the Blakslee
lads have not been obtained

DR.. NELLIE POOR MISSING.
Is the Woman Who Terrified Passen-

Corning y. Y, Aug. 27.-Dr. Nellie
Poor, the Chicago woman who, with
her two so'ls, caused excitement in an
Erie train last Thursday night by
rushing through the train brandishing
a knife and crashing through the plate
glass vestibUle of the train, is being
anxiously looked for by relatives in
the hills about here. After she and
her sons were released ny the Corning
police they wandered about town for
several hours. On Friday they sud-
denly disappeared. 1t has since been
learned that the woman is we'll con-
nected in Chicago and has wealthy rel
atives there. Farmers say that wom-
an and two boys answering the de-
scription of the missing trio have been
living in the woods, buying food from

TUBE WORKERS TOO HAsrY.
They Walked Out in sympathy With.
out Thought.

Pittsburg. Pa, Aug. 2S.-According
TO the reports from the organized tube
workers, who are striking in sympa-
thy with the Amalgamated associa-
ton, there is lot OF trouble In store
for the hasty action they took in walk
ing out of the plants of the National
Tube Co. without the Formally of sub
hitting their cause 20 the general Of
ficers of the American Federation OF
Labor Ii has been discovered, so the
men say, that they have violated the
constitution of the federation, which
provides that before going out on
strike a local lodge receiving a charter
direct from the American Federation
of Labor must submit a list Of griev-
ances TO the executive council Of the
federation for approval. Failure to do
this cuts off the striking lodge from
all strike benefits from the federation
or from other allied trades unions.
Most of the tube workers struck with
out this Formally having been gone
through with. To settle the strike
now they have no general officers to
act for them and only the various
lodge officers can act in matters per-
tanning TO peace. An appeal is TO be
made TO President Shaffer OF the
Amalgamated association TO take a
hand in any settlement for the tube
workers when such a settlement is
made. Ii is claimed, however, that il
4. l. 10. y &c % he 1nnn
as President Shaffer cannot act for
any other body than his own. The po-
sition of the tube workers is attract
ing considerable attention, and many
of the men, while declaring that they
will stay out as long as the Amalga-
mated men do, are making no secret
of their perpleXity regarding the ulti-
mate outcome of their strike. A move
ment is on foot, it is said, to form a
national body of the tube workers.
President Shaffer reiterated his pos
tive statement that all efforts for
peace that were being made by the
Civic Federation were without author
ity from him. He said Tat if official
overtures were made by the combine
they would be considered, but that
was ALL He denied that he knew of
any move that was being made in New
York except what he has seen in the
papers. Other officials of the Anal
gamated say there is no change in the
strike. Everything is quiet and the
men are satisfied with the way things
are going.
Reports from all the mills now par
TALLY operated with non-union men
are to the effect that the management
is making gains in its force, and as a
rule time is being given toward Undue

this work has been successful Off

Shaffer Says No Product Is BEING
Turned Out at Pittsbura.

Pittsburg. Aug. 27.-While the rep

President Shaffer OF the Amalgamated
association declares that his organi-
cation had given no authority TO any.
one 10 make settlement and that any
effort that may be made in that direc-
ton is being done by outside parties
on their own responsibility. He an.
nounced that so far as the officials Of
the organization are concerned, they
are satisfied that attempts OF the Off
Gals 10 operate plants in Pittsburg
have been futile and that while there
is a lot of men at work and machinery
is in operation, practically no product
is being turned out
The officials of the various plants
that have been started during the past
week in Pittsburg say that they have
made gains in all of them. More men
have come TO work and the output is
in every case considerable. The plant
OF the hoop combine started two addi'
tional mills yesterday and officials say
that before the end of the week these
mills will be working double turn. The
Star mills are being operated by non
union tin workers and two double
mills are turning out satisfactory
black sheets. Manager Arthur Piper
claims that the mills will be operated
three turns before the end of the
week
At Amalgamated headquarters there
is little OF interest transpiring. The
mail for the officials is heavy and Sec
rotary Williams received a number of
checks representing contributions
from lodges in independent mills for
the strike fund. John Pierce and Vice
President VIM. Gibson of the associa-
ton have made tour of the plants
supposed to be operating and reported
that there was no truth in the report
that so much was being accomplished
by the plants. The pickets about the
Star mill claimed TO have secured 10
desertions all told from the plant
since men were taken there. 1t was
also claimed that of the total number
in the mill nearly a fifth are made up
of managers and foremen of other
plants Regarding the Painter plant
ii is said that the strikers were keep
ing away from the mills entirely and
paid no attention to the reports of the
new men that have been secured
Many of the strikers have secured
work elsewhere.

GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS.
Coal Miners Likely to Confer With
Operators.

Hazelton, Pa, Aug. 2S.-The creden-
tials committee concluded it's work
last night. The roll call shows an at
tendance of $50 delegates. When it
was seen that the committee could
not make up the roll in time for an
afternoon session, adjournment was
taken until today.
So far as can be learned there is
trouble concerning the card inspection
system at some collieries of the Della
ware & Hudson company in the Scran-
ton district, and at one colliery of the
Lehigh and Wilkesbarre in the Hazel
ton region.
j.. Cox Bros. & Co., it is alleged by del
egates, have not yet paid the 10 per
cent increase to some of the laborers
and firemen. Quite a number of dele
gates from the Scranton district have
expressed themselves in favor of
drastic measures TO enforce card in
spection at the mines, but the men
from the other districts are Of the
opinion that the difficulty can be rem
edied in an amicable manner. Much
depends on President Mitchell and the
other leaders, who, it is believed, can
pretty nearly sway the convention to
their way of thinking. While nothing
definite concerning the matter is men
toned in the official call, and while
President Michel refuses to either
confirm or deny the report, it is stated
that after the card question and other
points at issue are settled the con-
vention will take the preliminary
steps for securing a joint conference
with the operators next spring. Henry
of the national executive board, has
arrived here.

HolIanders Must Study Up.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-The state de-

States Minister Newell at The Hague
an abstract of Dutch laws bearing on
military service, with the purpose of
acquainting naturalized citizens with
their rights in case of their return to
Holland. He says those laws are so
complex that American citizens of
Dutch origin should find out before re-
turning to their native country what
status they may expect to enjoy.
