Barton VIII be busy for ~ months in

ever issued by the West Virginia
labor bureau. The commissioner said
recently that he did not expect
much trouble enforcing the new fac
tory laws in the bic establishments.
He has already received letters from
the largest concerns in the state
asking him 70 investigate their plants
at the earliest possible dates 50 that
he could inform them If they were
not complying strictly with the new
law. The local representative of the
tin plate combine sent him a COM

the company's plants before the law
became effective and make sugges-
tions os 70 improvements if the con-
ditions were not mp to the standard
and stating that he believed the law
was just one and should be enforc-
ed to the letter. The ensign car
works of Huntington has also asked
Mr.. Barton to inform them whether
they haze met all requirements and

More trouble is expected from the
mercantile establishments than from

will hit the retail establishments hard.
"The employment bureau is prov

We have many applications for
labor and also have great many APP

applications concern mechanical labor.
The only draw back to the bureau is
that when ! start on my personal in

LOG East John street, MartinSburg,
w. va. rusl ell into telephone sta
tion here this afternoon and directed
that asmessage to the effect that his
brother and sistershad been killed be
sent to the foregoing address.
After usingthe telephone the young
man.explained to those in the room
that he and a brother and sister had
arrived in Connellsville during the

He asked that the police be notified
and left the office saying that he

by the young man was searched. but
no bodies were found. The author of
the information disappeared after

who is also living at 100 f. John
street, once since his departure, stat
ing that he had secured work with n
Mr.. Hasson, who was formerly from
Martinsburg. Further than that moth
ing has been heard from him.
The strange news has caused his
parents and his wife considerable
worry and they have istituted an in
vestigation.
