THE WORKHOUSE
Directors Held Meetins.-Dis-
eussed the w. T. L. z.
Switch Project.

The workhouse directors held a
meeting at that institution Tuesday
afternoon, at which a number of bills
were allowed and some matters cf
minor Importance arranged for. The
question of allowing the Wheeling e
Lake Erie Railway company to run a
switch across the workhouse grounds
was discussed. The first line run by
the engineers of the company entered
at the northeast corner and ran around
the buildings. This was not satisfac-
tory to the directors and the company
has concluded that the switch can be
changed so as to follow along the line
of the workhouse property instead of
running through 1t. The aim of the
Wheeling is to get switch into the
new mills and factories that are build
ing in that section. The only railroad
that has switch into the Berger works
is the Pennsylvania.
Judge Fawcett. in discussing the
workhouse matter, stated that he wish
ed they could get rid of the brush con-
tract, which has several years yet to
run. He was of the opinion that 1t
was not a profitable one.

the latter road, which is also a B. e o.
property by recent requirement. AS
the election indicates. the board was
reduced from thirteen members to
nine to make a more wieldly organ
ization.
The significant part of the choice
of the directors. however, is the elec-
ton of four Baltimore & Ohio men
to the directorate of the G. l.. & w.,
indicating, as was brought out in the
election later. that the Baltimore and
Ohio has actually taken possession of
the road.

STRIKERS COMPLAIN
National Officials Of Amaiga-
mated Association Asked
to Send Counsel to
Canal Dover.
From a STAFF Correspondent.

From STAFF Correspondent.
Pittsburg. Oct. 2.-Manager John
Warner. In charge of the Ohio mills
of the American Sheet Steel company.
arrived in Pittsburg last night from
Canal Dover. where he has been for
several days. He was on his way to his
headquarters in New York, having COM
pleted the task OF starting the mills in
his district. The Canal Dover plant,
Mr.. Warner says, is now running
ALMOST IN FULL.
None can regret the tragic termina-
tion of the strike at Canal Dover more
than we do" said Mr.. Warner last
night. 1--WE counseled moderation
among our non-union men from the
start, and believed certainly that we
could avoid bloodshed."
The strikers at Canal Dover asked
the national officials Of the Amalgamat-
ed association to send the attorney for
the national office, William ]. Bremen.
of Pittsburg, to Canal Dover to assist
in the prosecution of the men held for
the killing Of the striker, Jack ONeiI.
but President Shaffer refused this. He
said he had been in communication
with the prosecuting attorney of Tus-
carawas county, and felt certain that
everything possible would be done to
SECURE CONVICTION.
Numbers of the strikers at Canal
Dover. Cambridge, Lisbon, Wellsville
and other Ohio points have complained
to the Amalgamated association that
they are being Disseminated against
on account of their actions during the.
strike. This, the national officials OF
the association here say, Is contrary to
the letter and the spirit of the agree
ment made in New York, at the time
the strike was called off. At that time,
the United States Steel corporation Ii
claimed to have agreed, in effect, to
''let by-gones be by-gones." M
President Shaffer filed formal pro-
test with the tin, plate and sheet steel
against the refusal to employ
any Amalgamated association man as
long as there was a vacancy, but it has
been fruitless The president said this
that the Amalgamated asso-
citation was not in position to take any
action. He had done all he
could, he said.
