MORE NEW men
Eight Brought to the
WellsvIlle Steel Mill.
SUCCESS OF THE MOVE
To Start the Plant In Opera
tion IL Regarded by
the Strikers as
Assured.

Wellsville, O., Aug. 15.-The strike
among the steel workers employed In
the Wellsville plant of the American
Sheet Steel company has reached the
stage where the men seem to regard the
success of the move on the part of the
company to put the plant in operation
as assured, and they do not care how
many new men are admitted.
The Wednesday afternoon train from
Pittsburg brought eight new men from
Scottdale under charge Of Harry
Thompson. When the train stopped at
the mill gate there was not a strikers
picket to be seen and the men were ad-
mitted to the mill without a single
person asking them to desist from go
ing to work or to join the association.
Manager Brookman stood in the Of
flee door smiling on each new recruit
as he passed through the gate on his
way to the sleeping quarters in the
warehouse. The addition Of the eight
men received will make 1t possible for
the mill managers to put on Is turns to-
day, only four short of the complement
required to operate the plant in full.
Four additional man are on the way
from the west, and are expected to-day.
Two Of the non-union men who are
quartered in the mill warehouse were
downtown in search of rooms and
boarding this afternoon, but the pro-
prietors in most instances refused them
accommodation.
Last night four of the non-uniOn
men came downtown, but were met by
crowd and turned back within the
mill stockade. Many of the strikers
have obtained employment in other
manufacturing plants about town and
with contractors doing street work.

Governor Nash has again demon
started that he is not a strong enough
character to be governor of Ohio. Re-
QUESTION was made for State Senator
Archer and lesser light, by the COVER
nor of Indiana. Archer was wanted
on a charge of fraudulently securing
signatures to a bond. Governor Nash
refused to honor the requisition.
Archer is a prominent Republican and
is now candidate 70 reelection to
TO the state senate. In refusing to hon
or the requisition Governor Nash makes
certain that Archer will be here to run,
on election day. II the requisition
were honored, he evidently has some
doubt about that feature Of 1t. At any
rate. there Is no reason to believe that
the senator could not secure fair trial
in Indiana. Governor Nash has simply
pre-judged the case. But If Archer is
satisfied with that sort Of technical
vindication, he is welcome to it.

Attorney Is Dissatisfied
With the Verdict.
APPROPRIATION CASE
Verdict For Right Of Way Not
Considered an Equit-
able One BY the
Oefe nd q Mt.

Attorney j. w. Craine is very much
dissatisfied with the verdict rendered
in the case of the Stark Electric rail-
way against Simeon Roose. He said
Thursday morning that the verdict
was an outrage, and he did not propose
to abide by it. Take, for instance,
the France case" said Mr.. Craine.
There they gave S692 for running
along the road, and the amount of land
taken was less than in the Roose case
They gave Roose $685., and the road
cuts right through the middle Of his
farm, dividing 1t in two sections.
shall demand new jury before the
next case is tried. The verdict is not
in proportion to the allowances in the
other cases heard"
The jury in this case remained out
until o'clock Wednesday morning,
before it could reach a verdict II is
said that in the jury room there was
quite a contention. The question Of
damages was what divided the jury.
The road runs directly through the
farm, which is said to be a good one,
and In order to get to part Of 1t, the
electric road will have to be crossed.
About two acres Of land was taken by
the road. for which $3.50 was allowed.
To this was added damages in the sum
Of $405, making total Of $5S5. Attor-
ney ]. w. Craine represents Roose, and
Webber & Turner the railway COM
pany.

TO BE DISMANTLED.
The Assistant Superintonde n d e mt
Stands BY His Statement as
to the Warren Hoop Mill.

Warren, o., Aug. 15.-No attempt
will be made to start American Steel
Hoop mill here, no proposition has
been offered the men to return to work
and even if such were the case enough
union men could not be found in the
city to operate the plant. Assistant
| Superintendent Milton Coombs has al
ready denied the statement that a pro-
position is still open to the old men to
return to work. He, however, stands
by the statement that the mill is to be
dismantled, although reticent as to the
cause Opinion among the business
men here as to the sincerity Of the de-
seems divided.
A meeting of the Business Mems as
sociation has been called to discuss the
matter and probably petition the hoop
officials to remain. This dismantling
of the mill, 1t is said, is not meant as
direct slap at the community but for
financial reasons. Since the 400 pud-
dlers, finishers and laborers employed
have been on strike it is said that not
one of them has been about the plant.
All of the puddlers are working else
where and the greater number of fin-
ishers. Yesterday a dozen puddlers
left for Kittanning in response to a
telegram asking for as many workmen
of that class as could be obtained.
The ex-president of Dewey lodge, No.
35, w. j. Mcmahon, said that the men
w,@e .Vxt. IL l. .
Shaffer's scale was signed.
Superintendent John Bennington OF
the Warren mill said that he had re-
ceived no notice to either start or
wreck the plant He has positive,
however, that no attempt will be made
to resume work.
The Warren mill might properly be
called a home industry that for years
consumed money without bringing
large returns. 1t originally grew ont
of an axle factory built and operated
by BaHnum & Packard. Soon after this
VIM. Richards, Of Youngstown, W ith
capital of about 500, 1000 plus an ad-
ditional amount of $4,000 borrowed
from private sources, bought the steam
forge and erected a number of blast
furnaces and rolling mill. Practi-
cally all of the money was lost. The
properties then changed hands rapidly,
each company or owner losing more on
less money. Not until the Wick
Brothers assumed control did the plant
really prove a good investment. No one
is authority for the statement, but II
is generally conceded, that since the
mill passed into the control of the
American Steel Hoop company fair
dividends have been declared.

While on q Tour Of the
West.

Alliance, Aug. 15.-Word has been
received in this city announcing the
death by drowning of Frank Jaberg,
an Alliance boy who has been sojourn-
ing in California. Mr.. Jaberg was

He was member of Company X,

To Lake Erie Make . Low Rate
to the Exposition at
Buffalo.

Coshocton people who often take
the Wheeling to Cleveland on Sunday
at a rate much lower than the regular
fare do not know that great pressure
has been brought to bear on the COM
pany to discontinue these excursions,
but the company refused and the mat
ter is as 1t was before the war began,
says the Coshocton Age.
The agitation began when It deyel.
oped that many persons from points
along the Wheeling gladly paid the
Sunday rate to Cleveland because
when they reached that port they
could secure cheap transportation to
Buffalo by boat. They were thus en-
abled to save not a little on their tick
cts, and great deal of Pan-American
excursion business has gone that way
The plan became so popular that lines
coming in competition with the Wheel
ing for Buffalo business made power.
full objection and sweeping move
ment was 'naugurated in the Central
Passenger association against cheap
excursions to Cleveland. The battle
was bitter for time, but the other
railroads finally gave in and the ex-
cursions will continue with the people
buying cheap tickets from Cleveland
to Buffalo.

The people will look with some sus-
picion on the plan adopted by the
state administration to reach the steel
trust. The frst thing that will be
done will be to assess the company as
a foreign corporation. Then it will
be determined whether it is trust.
II it isn't trust, according to the au.
thorities' notion, it will simply be as.
sessed something and be allowed to
go aheai with its business. 1t looks
like an action on the part of the Sec
retary of state to keep the trust out
Of the courts, If possible.

Senator Archer is fortunate in hav-
ing such good friend as Governor
Nash. Archer is accused of secur-
ing signatures to bond and then al
lowing the bondsmen to get stuck for
the amount, $4,000 We know nothing
of the merits of the contention, but an
innocent man seldom hides behind
technicalities to the extent of avoiding
trial. Senator Archer is a candidate
on the Republican ticket, in Belmont
county, for state senator. 1t is evil
IDENTIFY Gov. Nash's intention to get him
elected with this charge hanging over
him.
At Edgefield, this state, occurred a
serious cutting affray under peculiar
circumstances. Charles Harper, a
farmer, had painted and placed at var.
ious conspicuous points about his farm,
a sign which read:
mo hunting allowed on this farm
by niggers and white trash"
Came John Snyder, with gun on his
shoulder, and Harper called mis- at
tention to the signs. Snyder claimed
he was not barred from the premises
as he was neither niger nor white
trash" Whereupon Harper drew a
knife and let large quantity of Sny-
der's blood out to irrigate his fields.
Which goes to show that man may
be what he claims to be, but it de.
pends largely on how the other fellow
looks at it.
At Wheeling they are not accepting
any Carnegie Libraries. The Ohio Val.
ley Trades and Labor assembly passed
a resolution denouncing Carnegie as
having the power to settle the steel
strike and failing to do it. This action
is not wise. If Mr.. Carnegie wants
to give money for Libraries, 1t is laud-
able sentiment on his part. That the
library ought to bear his name is quite
another matter. No public institution
ought to be named for man who is
living. Humanity is too prone to err.
Carnegie may go to his grave the most
despised man the country has ever
known. He probably will not, but
willie man is living there is always
the hazard that he may blunder In
this respect only the dead are immune.
