CRAWFoRDSvILLE.I Ind. Nov 2S.-The
Charlottesville Wire and Nail Company's
main plants, together with it's wire-draw-
ing and galvanizing plant and copper de-
partment, was destroyed by fire tonight.
causing a loss of sl5O,OOO on buildings and
machinery and $4,000 in finished goods in
one of the destroyed buildings.
The fire started shortly after O'Clock
and before the fire department could reach
the scene, the entire plant was a mass Of
flames. The building, which had been COM
pleted only a month, burned like tipder,
and the oil which had accumulated upon
the floors only added 10 the ferocity OF the
roaring furnace of flame. The fire depart
ment made every effort to cope with the
fire. but was powerless to even check it.
and only a few blackened timbers remain
of one of the largest antitrust wire mills
in the country.
The fire probably was due to the ex-
plosion of a can of gasoline. AT half
past s. when the watchman made
his rounds. everything was all right and
in thirty minutes the whole plant ~ss a.
mass of flames. The insurance was less
than $4,000. and as far as can be learned
tonight, was about equally divided be-
tween the Indiana, Niagara and German,
of New York. Negotiations had been made
for placing the bulk of the insurance on
Monday.
All the stock was held by local men, and
as there was practically insurance on
the plant, ii is a total loss of their i'm
vestment. They state tonight. however.
that the plant will be rebuilt at once. Two
hundred and fifty skilled mechanics. who
were brought here from the East. together
with the local employees. are thrown out
of employment. AS the plant has only been
in operation a month. il leaves those who
had removed their families from a distance
in destitute circumstances. The loss is
severe blow to Charlottesville. as the wire
plant was the pride of all and was the
first of a number of factories that are TO be
started in this city.

II the Men Persist I'm Enforcing Their
Demand without Giving Time
for Consideration.
n. Y, N. H. & H. STRIKE OFF
PROPOSITION OF THE OFFICIALS AC-
CEPTED BY THE MEN.
Freight Handlers Have Promised to
Return to Work without Delay
Terms of the Agreement.

PITTSBURG, Nov. 23.-About one-third of
the switchmen employed in the various
freight yards here have presented sudden
aud unexpected demand for an advance In
wages and other changes in their work.
The notice was served on the officials of the
several railroad companies in the city to-
day and request made for an answer be-
fore 10 O'Clock Monday morning. The wore
ing of the demand is such as to lead the
officials Of the roads to believe that strike
will follow a refusal of the demand.
Presented so unexpectedly and with so
little time to consider the matter and the
utter impossibility to submit the demands
10 the proper officials in New York, Balti-
more and philadelphia, it is said that 1t
Will be an utter impossibility for the local
officials to make definite answer to the
men Should the men strike it would be
far reaching in its results and cripple the
roads in the most congested sections. as il
has been by almost superhuman efforts that
the roads have been kept open at all
The present difficulty is one which the
railroad companies have not caused them
selves. 1t is due rather to disagreement
between tee Federation of Railway EN-
ployes. rtpr, stnting all branches of the
railway service. and what has been termed
a radical element that once was connected
with the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men. This element. which constitutes about
one-third of the switchmen in this district.
became dissatisfied two years ago with d
decision reached in a wage dispute and
withdrew from both the brotherhood and
the federation and formed a new union
exclusively for switchmen. This body has
since been working independently. and now.
in opposition TO the judgment of all other
railway unions. has renewed the old de-
mands 1t is said the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Trainmen have agreed if the worst
comes to the worst.to do their own switch
ing until new men can be hired
The fact that partial crippling of the
railroads at this time would mean the clos
ing down OF the coal mines coke ovens,
steel mills. furnaces, etc, and would fall
as a serious blow on the thousands of men
employed in these industries has stirred up
the leaders of the labor unions represented
I'm this wholesale shutdown. Every effort
will be made TO avert the trouble. Should
the strike be declared it would affect the
Pennsylvania Railroad the Pittsburg &
Lake Erie, the Baltimore & Ohio. the Buffa-
10. Rochester * Pittsburg. the Bessemer *
Lake Erie and the Allegheny Valley. So
far known the switchmen in the yards
of the Fort Wayne and Panhandle roads
are not allied with the new union.

The proposition bears the signature of

OF the Brotherhood OF Trainmen tonight

Brotherhood are directly concerned In the

tiOn 10 influence the nOnunion strikers of

can become a reasonably sanitary vessel.
