hourly prayer is that he may make no
blunder which will bring unnecessary
hardship upon his faithful followers or

Mr.. Mitchell not only carries a ire
mendous responsibility az leader Of the
greatest labor strike known In the his

giles along under q prodigious amount
Of work. He has scores Of callers
daily. He gets an average Of $50 let

INVESTS IN CAR
AND CASTING PLANT
Oil Piunges Will Figure Exten-
siveiy IN Canton's Industrial
Deveio opment'-Son to
Move Here.

Col. James M. Guffey, of Pittsburg.
who is a millionaire many times over,
and who was the oil king in the IA
nous Texas field. has taken a largs
interest in the structural steel car
works that are TO be erected In the
south west part of Canton, and will
invest a much larger amount in the
steel casting plant that is to be built
in connection with it.
Not only will Col. Guffey invest
largely in these manufacturing estab-
lishments, but his son Harry Guffey
will move to Canton and be actively
associated I'm the management of the
plants. He has leased the Gould man
sion in West Tuscarawas street and
will move into it April 1.
GREAT FINANCIAL BACKING.
The Importance of interesting these
gentlemen in Canton enterprise can
not be over-estimated They have un.
limited capital and when the younger
Mr.. Guffey gets located here it is exs
pected that he will be great factor
in the future development of espe-
cially the iron industries of Canton.
Col. Guffey is man who enjoys u
worldwide reputation as being at the
head OF the development of the great
oil fields in Texas. He had been
successful operator in the oil fields OF
Pennsylvania before the Texas ven.
ture. He is said to be looking for
places to invest his immense capital
and Canton citizens deem themselves
fortunate that his attention has been
directed this way.
1T WAS WOODCOCK'S WORK.
w. H. Woodcock, one of the
members OF the car company and who
is also one of the patenteSS of the
car that is to be built, was directly
responsible for enlisting the Guffeys
in the enterprise. he having personal
acquaintance with them.
Members of the company state that
just as soon as the weather permits
ground will be broken and the car
works and the steel casting plant will
be rushed to completion as soon as
possible. The company has already
received a large number of orders for
cars and could book enough orders
to keep them going for years.
When completed this will be one of
the largest concerns ever built in
Canton and it is thought that the
plant. immense as it has been planned,
will have to be enlarged almost i'm.
mediately.
