mus--Article In Fed
erationist.

Washington, Oct 5.-President
Gompers, of the Federation of Labor,
published in the October issue Of the
Federationist, the official organ OF
that body, vigorous and detailed
statement In reply to charges made
by President Shaffer, OF the Amalga-
mated Association Of Iron and Steel
Workers, regarding the attitude Of
Mr.. Gompers and President Mitchell.
Of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, during the recent steel strike.
Mr.. Gompers says In part:
eMr. Shaffer says that he espe-
cially relied upon the American Fed
GRAFTON OF Labor for financial assist
tnce ! assert that he never asked
for any.
aYet | venture to assert that nearly
every dollar of financial assistance
received at the office of the Amalga-
mated association came from unions
affiliated with the American Fedora
tion OF Labor. and il the Federation
as such did not give cent 1t was be-
cause 1t was neither directly nor indi-
rectly asked to do So"
Regarding Mr. Skaters statement
that he arranged meeting between

Morgan gave up his vacation, but Mr..
Gompers failed to appear, Mr.. Comp

Mr. Shaffer says that which Is alb
solutely untrue. and he knows IT,"
Correspondence from Mr.. Shafrer
urging Mr.. Gompers and Secretary
Morrison to come Immediately to
Pittsburg is published, and after de-
failing several interviews with Mr..
Shaffer and others, Mr.. Gompers says
IN part:
1T will thus be seen that Mr..

time when Mr.. Easley (of the Civic
Federation), not Mr. Shaffer, had ar
ranged for me to meet Mr.. Morgan"
Mr. Gompers says he explained to
Mr.. Shaffer that 1t was inadvisable

agreed with him as to the substitu.

WE'LL PLEASED.
Engii eer Officers NJ axe Visit

Col Hamburg and Major Powell Look
at Locks and Dams 10th Above and
Below Here They are well Pleased
with the Way in Which Things are
Going Will Probaly Return.

Colonel Hamburg and Major Pow
ell who have been up the river nspec
ttnre' ee~rtr-e.io~ Of the locks and
dams left on Saturday morning on the
government boat Iona Tor Pitts
burg. They will inspect every lock
and dam as they go down. They
spent Friday night in the city.
Colonel Hamburg was formerly
a student at this place having
been here many years ago. He
and Mr.. Sturgiss attended school at
the same time and they had quite a
reunion last evening when they met
after so long a time. The visitor
was delighted to get back again but
noted with sadness and MANY chan
GEES made in the town since he had
been here.
Both tic 0Gcers expressed them
selves as pleased with the way in
which the locks and dams are being
looked after by the contractors that
have charge Of them now The work
is going right along and on
every hand is to be seen evidences
that they intend to finish the Job on
contract time.
Much concreting has been done
already and more will be done be-
fore the coming of winter puts an
end to the work. Work is proceed
ing on four of the locks and dams
and the others will be attended to
before the end of next season.
The engineers composing the en-
specslon parry went TO Fairmont
and came stopping down at each To-
cation and infinitely inspecting it
and looking over the work that has
been done. Major Powell has charge
of the river and Colonel Hamburg
is his immediate chief.
1t is probable that other visits
will be paid to the work during the
fall and early winter.
Down the river there is much
work to be done to get the locks and
dams in the best condition possible.
A great deal has already been done
and in some cases the lock walls
have been nearly replaced. They
have been worn out in the years of
service which they have done. 1t
is to look after this that the two Of
ficers went down the river.

say abont it:
Lewis Morrison's Faust was

Thursday night to one of the largest
audiences of the season. The play
is fine one when given by good
company and the Interpretation last
night was highly satisfactory. Geo.
S. Trimble took the Mephisto and
his rendition of it was good. At in
tcryals during the play some excel
lei music was rendered by the
FauA sextet. The scenery used
throug ont the performance was
beautiful while some of the electrical
effects were marvellous.

people OF town.
The shooting of the young lady
was told exclusively in the New Do

fair victim recovered in a short time
from the effects of the wounds and
even forgave her assaiIant freely
How completely she has forgiven

Miss Bessie Lee stuckey, trained
nurse, of Richmond, and Mr.. Charles

Richmond about two years ago to
study medicine at the University

made the acquaintance of Miss

from her home IN West Virginia to
study scientific nursing. After a
very briet courtship Mr.. Williamson
proposed, but was refused by Miss

to have signitied plainly her prefer

Last Winter Williamson precipi-
tated matters by walking into the
hallway of the Virginia Hospital
where the girl was student and
shooting at her twice. Both shots
reached their mark One in the arm
and the other in the side, just over
the heart. In consequence of Miss
Stuckey's refusal to prosecute the

TWO CENTS
HARRISBURG CAPITALISTS
Make a Big Purchase Between
Fairmont and Grafton.

They have Bought all the Mines In that
Section--Ten Million Tons OF Coal
aud one Million Tons OF Coke will be
Produced by Them and the Fairmont
Coal Company.
The Colonial Coal 81 Coke Company
located on the Baltimore s. Ohio rail-
road between Grafton and Fairmont
owned by l.. II. Ruth, Rockwell MA.
rietta, Clair Stillwagon, Il. X. Dick
and J. NJ. Grey, all of Connellsville,
has been bought with nine other coal
and coke companies in the Clarksburg
district by the Clarksburg Fuel Conn
pany. The latter combine is affiliated
with the Fairmont Coal Company,
which several months ago bought up
nearly all the independent coal and
coke operations In the Fairmont field.
The companies consolidated In the
Ciarksburg Fuel Company owned the
coal adjoining the Fairmont Coal
Comrany's district, and thus the field
OF that concerns operation IL greatly
extended. The Colonial Coal Il Coke
Company was bought by the Councils.
Vile people In April 1899. The plant
consisted of coal mine and 80 coke
ovens with 1000 acres Of fine coal
land. The consideration was In the
neighborhood of $50, 900. 1t was

Coke Company but under a new char
ter the company was reorganized as
the Colonial Coal s. Coke Company
with capital Of 1920, 900. Two new
mines were started and the Fleming
ton & Astor railroad nearly four
miles In length, was projected. The
company had contract with the
Baltimore & Ohio company TO build
this line before the change In the
management, when the Pennsylvania
secured control.
The acreage was the largest owned
by The companies in the new Clarks-
burg company, and when the new
mines being developed are fully opened
the output will be the largest, about
100 ears a day. At present over 80
cars a day are shipped. The coal is
SO situated that Ii was practically
essential for the Clarksburg combine
TO own 1t at the price namcu by the
GonneIlsyille owners. Their figures
were $3.50, 900 cash and they got It.
The money was paid to T. r. Ruth,
accompanied by Rockwell Marietta,
Clair Stillwagon and j. M. Grey in
New York on last Friday.
The Directors of the Clarksburg
Fuel Company are james H. Gardiner,
August Belmont, Charles f. Barnett,

FEW CHANGES EXPECTED.
Schedule Makers do not Anticipate
Many Changes In the Running OF

When the new schedule goes into
effect it is not thought that there will
be many changes in the time OF trains.
Those who have the matter ia charge
met in Pittsburg this week to talk it
over. II they would make some ar
rangement whereby we could get out
into this state and back again in the
same day it would be highly appreci-
ated by all of us. There is train
running into Fairmont in the evening
that could be extended to Morgan
town without hurting anything and
without adding very much to the cost
Of operation. 1t could return in the
morning thus solving the problem
nicely.
