"OPEN HOUSE" POLICY
Causes Trouble-Union Men
will not Work.

Meeting Held Yesterday and Plan for
Long Campaign Adopted Nothing
Doing at Economy Tumbler Com
pany's Directors Mean to
Run their Factory as they Choose.
The notice posted by the Morgan
town and Seneca Glass factories
Saturday to the effect that the fac
tories would run "open house. free
to union and non union men alike
has caused considerable stir III local
glass manufacturing circles, In
consequence, no one went to work at
the Morgantown factory this morn,
ing, and only the blowers who are
directors at the Seneca are working.
1t probably means long battle be-
tween the companies and the union
glass workers
The union workmcn held a meet
ing Sunday and dieided that they
would not work in the factories I'M
der the "open house rule. They
appointed committees to meet trains
it is said, and picketts to watch the
factories, in order to pursuade non
union workmen not to go to work.
Press committees also were appoint
ed. 1t is said that the local unions
have declared they will not work
under the 'topen house. rule If they
have to stay out all winter.
A director OF the Economy Ium
bier Company said this morning that
they intended to run the factory
eopen house,, and they were not at
all worried about the action OF the
union men-that it was immaterlal
TO them whether they worked or not.
The factory will be open to union
and non union men alike, or not at
all.
The union men who refused to 90
to work get one $1.00 per day while
out, and ale allowed to work at other
trades for 81. per day but no more,
This will give them an income OF
$12. per week and they can probably
get along on that for long time.
The company agrees to pay the
union scale, the only point being the
question of non union men working
in the factories. 1t promises to be
a long and bitter fight.

Havoc of Tropical Cyclone.

Merida, Yucatan, Aug. 1.-THE eff
fects of the tropical cyclone in this
city and in Progresso some days ago
were widespread and terrible. The
wind commenced in the early hours of
the night and although everybody had
been prepared for the gale in conse-
quence Of warnings given some time
previous, panic seized the community.
Little by little the wind increased in
violence and soon it was tearing up
great trees by the roots, blowing roofs
away and destroying houses and plan
tations. Great damage was done in
a very short time The cyclone was
more terrible along the coast. Great
efforts were made to save small ves-
sells, but to no avail, and 20 of those
lying in the port of Progresso were
cast upon shore

According TO the Preston County

Hon. Geo. G. Sturgiss is about to

been purchased by the Hon. Geo, G.
Sturglss, and he proposes to erect
upon it fine modern hotel of dimen-
tons large enough and commodious
enough to accommodate the hundreds
Of tourists and health-seekers who
will seek this delightful SPOT for rec
reation and rest during the summer
season. 1t is Mr.. Sturgiss' Intention
to make this one Of the most popular
resorts in the country"
Mr.. Sturgiss was seen ia regard TO
this new enterprise by NEW DoMIN-
ION man this morning, and disclaimed
any intention Of abandoning his pres
ent enterprises and spending the re-
mainder Of his days looking after the
material comfort of a lot of giddy,
fitting summer visitors. He has
bought, he said, 1000 acres of land,
including the cave, from Brown,
Brown and Ollie, and was preparing
to sell it right now He had said
that the vicinity Of the cave would
make an ideal place for summer
hotel, but that he ever had any in
tention of building one or putting any
money into such a sc heme was utterly
ridiculous.
