anu, iHCiueuUdily, Improve uHe
looks of the town-to have his
fence painted. He had the time
to do the work himself, bought
the paint and forthwith began to
paint his fence, when, 10! the
walking delegate, the creature
selected by citizens of Bellville
to manage their affairs, appear
ed and ordered this American
citizen to quit painting his own
fence, threatening to boycott
him and prevent him from get
ting work or buying provisions
in the city in which he lived and
owned a homeland this free (?)
American citizen obeyed the
command and thereby acknowl-
edged himself unfit to tie the
shoes of a WALKING DELEGATE OLE
BELLvIFLE. Another citizen was
engaged in putting on a new roof
of paper or felt. He found a
couple of pieces of sheeting need
ed to be taken off and replaced
by others. He started to do this
work, when the walking delegate
stopped him and commanded that
a carpenter be hired to do this
ten minutes job, saying that the
citizen could driye nails through
the paper or felt, but could not
drive nails through plank. An
other citizen of Bellville wants
to build him a brick house for a
home. A friend makes brick
outside the limits of the town
and employs only non-union la
Dor. He offers the citizen, be-
cause of friendship, the brick for
his home at a nominal price-far
cheaper than he can get them
elsewhere-but he cannot accept
them, for no non-union brick are
allowed in this model city, and
no mechanic would be allowed to
build a house with non-union
material. The only things that
seem to be free in Bellville are
sunshine, air and water. So far the
walking delegate has not been
able to corral these essentials,
not that he has use for water
he always takes "his'n" in a sa.
loon.
President Tate, of sub-district
No. l, has not yet a CHARTER.
Possibly this is the reason why
many of his subjects sadly move
away from the sub-district and
will be compelled to work-actu-
ally wORK-in strange lands.
Perhaps they don't want to up
hold Tate in his usurpatlon of
unlawful power. How interest
ing it is to onlookers to see how
sleek Barnaby, Wood d Co. I'M
loaded on these miserable, hun
CRY and deceived "strikers" the
burden of the defeat of the L.
NJ. w. in Hopkins county. For
two years the victims have swal-
lowed entire the stories of these
officials, black and white, the
story of one day proved a lie the
next. The promised supplies,
always cut IN half-or entirely
cut off-and when the end came
and the great order of U. M. w.
refused any more aid, in place of
FOOD they gave OFFICIAL TITLES
called it sub-district No. l and
made the members president,
secretary, treasurer, board men,
bers, organizers, ETC., and Tate
and Ivey and Buckner rushed
about bustling with Importance
and asserting that the strike
would be won in a day or two.
Buckner, ex-president of local
and treasurer of subj istrict-did
he tell the brothers how he join
ed the order that he could give it
away? Did he tell them how he
had written letters, giving the
names of the new members, that
they might be discharged from
the mines? The letters are in
evidence when wanted. Let the
brothers ask him about it.

President Mitchell OF the Unit
ed Mine Workers is now express
sing great fear that some of the
foreigners who belong to the or
der will do some rash act that
will bring dishonor to the organ
ization thereby causing public
disapproval, and yet the evidence
is wanting that will show where
he has ever taken steps to pun
ish those who become law vio-
lators. When some of his gang
attempted to perpetrate crime
after crime in this and sdjoining
counties during the past two
years, he was silent, and what in
fiuence thus far used by him, if
any at all, seems to have been
exerted in behalf of the accused.
Even some of his chosen leaders
who were arrested upon serious
charges have been released upon
giving money bail, furnished no
doubt through his influence and
with his approval, and this in
the face of the fact that almost
positive evidence stood against
them. Thus he goes from place
to place apparently pleading for
law and order to reign supreme,
when at the same time thousands
of his organization are ready to
apply the torch or pull the trig-
ger, knowing full well from the
past history Of the organization,
that the capital they command
will be used in their defense.
When the poor fellow of a few
days ago was brutally murdered
up in Pennsylvania because he
dared to work, did Mitchell or
his followers offer a reward or
raise a finger toward bringing
the guilty to justice There
fore, with this unsavory record
against the order, is it any won
der that law abiding citizens in
the anthracite coal regions al
most daily fear an outbreak?
Superintendent Finley of the
Central City Coal Company made
a business trip here last week.
He is one of the few men who
seem to be able to hold the U. M.
w. down to reason and it is
feared he will eventually lose
control.
The last one of the suspected
murderers of Officer Coffey have
been run down, so it is thought,
and no doubt but what the En-
pire Coal Company feel proud Of
the grand work done by the Off
GERS in the capture of tie sus-
poets.
Mr.. Dick Ashby, one of the
old stand-bys Of the coke works,
has been on the sick list for sew
eral weeks past, but at this writ
ing he is able to be up and hopes
to soon resume work.
Robert Fegan, who for many
years belonged to the mechanical
department of the st. Bernard
Company, is back from a sojourn
in the West for several months
past.
Mr.. John Nolan, of the st.
Bernard Company at Barnsley,
has found it necessary on account
of his failing health to leave for
Indiana for a few weesk rest.
While at Nortonvllle last week
one day we visited the new coal
shaft and found all happy over
the striking of seven foot vein
of coal which they claim is No.
II coal and of excellent quality.
We learn the stockholders will
this week hold a meeting to de-
termine whether or not they will
continue to sink a shaft until
they reach number 8 vein which
it is estimated lies about 20 feet
deeper. The vein struck lays
about 10 feet below the surface
of the ground, level with that
the depot now stands on, and it
is believed by some that it can
be struck at that depth by dig

LOCOMOTIVE BLASTS

Lew Waltz and Jim Long are
running the Elkton jerk water
this week.
Conductor Moody and wife
have been on a visit to relatives
near Adams Station for a few
days. 1t is a very good thing to
have relatives in the country
where one can get square meal
once in a while.
Conductor Ed Wilson, of the
Elkton route, is laying off few
days.
Supervisor John Davis, of
Springfield, was in town Monday.
He complimented the Bee by
saying it was the newsiest week
ly paper in this end of the state.
@. E. Lane, one of the popular
H. d. conductors, paid the Bee
office pleasant call Monday.
Conductor Joe Robertson has
fleshened up considerably in the
last few months. He is getting
TO be real good looking.
Engineer Jim Long pulled an
excursion from Elkton to Nash
vile Sunday, and we understand
a committee of the passengers
waited on him at the first stop
and asked him to please reduce
the speed about fifteen miles per
hours, that they were in no hur-
ry and had not been used to rid
ing so fast. One old moss back
said: "Look here, young fellow,
you amt running no flying ma
chine and we don't want you to
run any faster than Mr.. Hamp-
ton does"
Col. Willie f. Sheridan has
gone up in Ohio 10 see the folks.
Artie Beal, an old darlington
boy, is firing the switch engine
at Guthrie.
Jack Stokes, switch engineer
of Guthrie, is at home visiting
home folks. Some of the boys
at Guthrie say Jack loves water
melons we'll enough to go after
them.
Business on the Henderson di-
vision continues good and the
boys are kept busy day and
night.
Operators Brooks and Prather
are working at Guthrie. They
make good pair.
There were several excursions
run over the road Sunday, all
well loaded.
A coach containing returning
soldiers from Mammoth Cave was
on 81 Monday.
Will Rowe is a cracker jack
runner. He made the run from
Hoptown to Guthrie on No. 81
in II minutes. The distance is
% miles.
The pay car made its usual
trip Monday and the boys had
money for a few minutes.
Switchman Geo. Hooser is lay
ing off sick this week.
Miles Cannon, a switchman in
the yard, had the misfortune to
get his thumb mashed few days
ago. 1t is not serious and he
will soon be able to work again.
Operator Grasty spent Sunday
with home folk at MortOns.
Dispatcher John DEWEY went
to Evansville Sunday.
Dispatcher Griffin wants to go
to Ohio and spend a month with
his people. We understand he
will leave on the return of Train
Master Sheridan.
There is no use talking; those
big Rogers engines can pick up a
passenger train of eight or nine
coaches and make as good time
as the passenger engines.
Sam Manning is one of the mic
est engineers on the road and he
knows how to make up lost time
as easy as anyone we ever saw.
He left Darlington or 53 the
other morning 10 minutes late
