E. j. Kane and M. NJ. Medley of
Fairmont are in town and are stop
ping at the Wallace House. They
come here representing the West
Virginia Schubert Mosaic Company

taken by Fairmont people. 1t is
proposed to issue $4,000 to people
here and the local stockholders are
to be given two directors in the com.
pany.
The plant Of the concern is to be
located In Fairmont. 1t will supply
all the product used in West Virgin

der the patent rights owned by the ma
tional organization will be allowed to
dispose of its product in the state.
A first class substitute has been dis
covered for tiling. This is equal in
durability and appearance to tile and
can be sold at very much less than the
prices charged for thing. 1t can be
made at about one third the price of
the more expensive article. The lobby

ENGAGEMENT CLOSED.
Elks Have Completed Their
Stunt and Retired

ment.
"One night is enough. The second
night is hard work. Idon't want any
more two night stands In mine said
one Of the performers who took part
In the second entertainment given by
the Elks last night. He voiced the
sentiments of the rest Of the galaxy
of the stars who appeared behind the
footlights during the two entertain
mcnts given on Thursday and Friday
nights.
Last night was the closing night OF
the Elks show. There was a fair
house out to greet them. The wealth
or prevented the house from being
crowded. The bill was practically the
same as that presented the first
night.
Ernest Hayes was to do black face
turn with the telephone, but when
the curtain arose and he found bim-
self alone on the stage with an audi
ence facing him he was attacked by
stage fright which put him out of
business.
The Elks have netted about $3.50 as
a result of their invasion of the
realms Of the professional Thespian.
They are we'll satisfied with their sue
cess financially and artistically The
public is pleased and feel that they
received their moneys worth.
Charles Stout, OF Connellsville, con-
tributed much to the success and
pleasure OF the entertainments, as be
directed and whipped them into line.
They went with unusual smoothness,
thanks to his untiring efforts. The
costumes were furnished by Jones, OF
Philadelphia, and they were strong
feature.
Taking it on the whole the affairs
have been very creditable and the
public IS very much more favorably
disposed toward the local lodge which
has always stood high in the city.
The performers have now retired to
private life, and after discussing their
triumphs will be ready to go back to
the more presaic pursuits of business
life by Monday morning.

The Gregg Prize Contest te be Held
at Laurel Point April IS.

The spelling contest for the $25 prize
offered by Hon. John M. Gregg, for the
best oral spelling, will be held at Laurel
Point, Saturday evening, April IS, 1908.
The contestants will all stand in line
and will spell down by taking their
seats when they miss word. Only
pupils OF the country schools will take
part in this contest. We hope to see
pupils from all the districts present with
their one aim to win. The offer of this
prize has stimulated oral spelling all
over the county the past winter, and has
aroused greater interest in spelling
than has been manifested heretofore.
Mr., Gregg certainly deserves much
commentator for the reward offered,
which has proved boon to the schools
of the entire county,

THE STRIKE SITUATION.

There seems to be fair prospects Of
an early termination OF the strike In
Carbon county, since the Utah Fuel
company and the miners seem to agree
on all points in dispute except one
the recognition OF the union. In the
interest OF the public II IL to be hoped
that this win not long prevent the
opposing parties from coming togeth-
er. II is not a vital point, after all
Good wages and plenty OF work are of
more Importance to the men. The con-
test should be over soon, II all other
points are agreed on. The public has
been put to sufficient expense, and In
convenience, as It is, and the consumers
should certainly be "recogniaed' by
both parties, for they depend largely
on them.
The strike again emphasizes the
necessity of what has been called CONF
pulsory arbitration Of labor disputes
For they can be settled by no other
method than arbitration. Strikes do
not settle the disputes. They merely
serve to engender bad blood between
the contestants. Very often they re-
suit in lawless acts, and thus become
the breeders OF anarchy. And then,
no matter how long the strikes last,
arbitration must finally be resorted to,
to settle the points in dispute. Why
then should not the law REQUIRE ar
bItTatlon as the first recourse and pro-
vide that work must continue while
the dispute Is being investigated? The
public would then not have to suffer
each time walking delegate feels
called upon to foment trouble. The
fact that no labor dispute can be set
lied except by arbitration is power
full argument for making II compul-
sorry.
