CONTRACTORS AGREE,
They hold Meeting and Adopt
Resolutions.
Deprecate the use of the Boycott and
Strike-Best Interests of the Town
Demand Employment Of Every one
Regardless OF Personal Affiliations.

/
The contractors OF town have held
a meeting TO discuss the present un-
settled conditions OF affairs locally.
They adopted some resolutions unani-
mously. A number of names have
been signed to these and other employ
ers and contractors are expected To
sign them soon. The resolutions and
signatures follow:
We, the undersigned, du most sol
emily and earnestly protest against the
general unrest caused by the Trades
Council of Morgantown.
While we are not opposed to the or
ganization OF labor for legitimate pur-
poses, we realize and know that In
this country it is the boast of our peo-
pie and the palladium of our liberty
that every man has right to work
and earn his own living and that OF
his family without subscribing to any
creed, or joining any sect, society or
organization. We believe In the
rights of the individual, and that or
gained labor has no right TO say to
any man unless he joins the union he
shall not work.
Whenever organized labor combines
to prevent independent labor from
earning living for himself and those
independent on it, then all honest,
just and fairminder men must arise
and say, YOU shall not take away from
an American citizen his rights either
moral or civil because he does not
think as you do and does not belong
to the same organization you belong
TO The welfare of our city, the laws
Of our state and nation and the laws
Of God alike requires US to protect
the rights of the man who desires To
earn an honest living in the sweat OF
his brow without having to ask per-
mission fa0m any man or set OF men.
Already the Intimidation of non
union men and threatened strike has
caused many persons who intended tn
build good homes and fine buildings
in our city to abandon their enter
pr1ses. A continuance oflabor trou-
bles and threats of general strike
and boycott will prove disastrous to
the welfare Of our city and the well
fare OF every craftsman as we'll as
every laboring man in the city
There are now two or three jobs for
every workman and care should be
taken that there should not be in the
near future two or three workmen for
every job When that time comes
the foreign element which has so dis
turbed labor here will go as 1t came
and leave our resident workmen with
more wisdom, less wreck and less

UNIVERSITY PRIZES.
State Tax Commission Pounds
Permanent Prize

To be Given Students Each Year for
the Purpose of Inciting Study Of
Tax ProbIems-ADnounce OF 1t
by DIR. Purinton-Scot Prize takes
New Form this Year.
President Purinton OF West Vir.
ginia University has received the
following letter, together with a
check for $l,150:
Wheeling, West Va.
Dear Sir:
AS members of the Com
mission appointed by the Governor
we have lately been engaged in con-
sideripg questions of taxation in
West Virginia. Our connection with
that work has given us an increased
sense of the interest and Importance
of such questions now and even more
in future, as well as of the difficult
ties which attend their proper solu
tion.
1t seems to us that it it is to the
interest Of the state that its meth
dds of taxation should receive sys-
tematic study by some CT chose who
will probably be called on hereafter
to determine and administer those
methods. AS step to this end we
suggest that, if the faculty of the
West Virginia University approve, a
prize be offered annually to the stu
dents of the University for the best
original work bearing upon matters
of taxation in West Virginia The
, classes or departments whose mem
beers may compete, and the method
of competition, whether by written
thesis, oral discussion or otherwise,
would be determined from time to
time by the faculty, who would make
all appropriate regulations. What
ever method be selected, we suggest
that, as part of the work required, a
draft of bill should be prepared
by each competitor embodying his
views in a practical way and in the
usual form of a legislative bill, or
constitutional amendment.
If it meet the approval OF the
University authorities. the prize
may be known as "The Tax Com
mission Prize
Out of the amount received as
compensation for services on the
Tax Commission, we wish to provide
a fund, the income of which may be
given annually for the proposed prize
and for this purpose we enclose a
check to your order for the sum of
$l,150.
Respectfully yours,

Commoner and Glass Worker
Says Thatit is.

Brownsville Wire Glass People have
Nothing to say They refuse to talk

There is Great deal of truth In the
Story which has been started.
The following is taken from the
last issue of the Com moner an Gloss
Worker:
The Mississippi Wire Glass Co., OF
277 Broadway, New YORK, purchased
the plant, stock, patents and good
will of the Brownsville Co. at Nor
gantown, w. Va, and will continue
the manufacture of wire glass at that
plant. The purchasing company
found the quality Of glass made at
Morgantown very satisfactory. The
acquisition of this factory Immediate
ly increases the production OF wire
glass and enables the Mississippi COM
pany to ill orders much more promp-
ly than heretofore. Prices will re-
main the same as heretofore quoted
The company reserves the right to
Allegany OF Morgantown, and as far
as possible will ship from that fac
tory which will give customers the
lowest freight delivery.
1t will be remembered that some
months ago the companies named
above were engaged in litigation in
| the Pittsburg courts, the plaintiff
charging the defendant with improp-
erly obtaining and using secret
trade processes and with the infringe
ment of patents. The matter was
finally adjusted amicably and the
suits withdrawn. This adjustment
OF disputes has now gone still farther,
and the absorption of the new COM
pany by the elder is promising fore
cast of bright and harmonious flu
ture for the wire glass trade.
The Brownsville factory was called
| by phone and asked about the state
ment in Commoner and Glass Worker.
aYou will find out about it later" was
the reply. Nothing else could he ex-
tracted from the Office. It is proba-
Bile from what was said however that
the deal has taken place.
1t is stated that the men who are
back OF the Brownsville plant were
formerly connected with the wire
glass trust. They came here last fall
and started the erection OF plant
near the Pump station. 1t has been
