NO TROUBLE
WITH STRIKERS
BUT. THEY EVIDENTLY. HAvI
SOMETHING UP THEIR SLEEVE
AND MAY YET ACT.
Alleged Agreement to Assault the Non.
Union Men Did Not Materialize.

Marietta. March l9.-No trouble was
started Mt the bridge when the men com
penced. A number of new ones report
ed and gang of sixteen was put to
work on the Williamstown side. The
strikers evidently have something up
their sleeves as they will not say much
and when they do talk, at least part
Of them, it is to threaten the nOn-union
men.
1t was stated by three of them yes
terday that the trouble would start
when the men went to work on the
other side of the river as they will not
have as much protection as they do here.
A crowd of 25 men is expected to
arrive Thursday to 80 to work and the
Marietta end will be completed before
work is commenced on the other side.
At Pittsburg yesterday the attempt of
the American Bridge company to break
the strike was unsuccessful, the new
men, when they learned the situation,
refusing to work on jobs secured for
them BY the strikers at other places.
1t is alleged by few people that at
the meeting Monday night several of the
strikers got together and, without the
knowledge of the labor officials, agreed
to assault several of the non-union men.
Whether this is true cannot be verified.
\ number OF threats have been made
against those now at work and it is
possible that the militia viii be called
out when work begins on the Williams
town side.

of their carrying either New
York or the half dozen other Northern
states Is too remote to talk about. New
York has lost the balance of power. The
increase in the electoral vote has been
largely in Republican states outside of
New York. Illinois now has % votes
in the electoral college and her politics

York. She is likely to rival the Empire
State as a storm center. but the Repub-
leans could lose both New York and Hi
nois and still win.
The electoral college is again compos-
Cd OF an even number. Both sides might
have 23s votes. In that case the cleo
ton would 90 to the House of the Fifty
eighth Congress. which is Republican,
and would therefore elect the Republi-
can nominees for president and vice

The odds are against the Democrats
from every point of view and unless
something very remarkable should hap
rem the presidential election will not be
close enough to stir up any great amount
Of excitement.

BAY STATE GOVERNOR
VETOES EIGHT-HOUR BILL
He Fears Increased Cost fer Public
Works.

BOSTON. Mass. June Ex-Governor
Bates has sent his twelfth veto to
the Legislature. Il being disap-
proval Of the eight-hour- day bill for
public employees. He said the bill might
defeat its own purpose by making in
some instances public works so costly
that they would not be entered uDoa.
and the opportunities for the favorable
employment of labor would. therefore
be lessened.
He further said that the law Of supply
and demand and the conditions Of BUSH
ness were not given due consideration
in measure which fixed specific hours
of labor. and provided that wages should
be the equal of any paid in a given To-
cality. The State law now makes nine
hours a legal day. and the labor element
are wroth that the governor should turn
them down after two years persistent
fighting for an eight-hour day.

Oil Fuel a Success.

The question as TO whether oil is suit
able as fuel for locomotives has been
settled. and now nearly all of the West
ern railroads which have an easy access
to the California and Texas fields are
Transforming their engines from coal TO
oil burners. This action is the result
of more than two years experimental
tion, and the result is highly satisfac-
tory from all standpoints. The oil is
cheaper than coal, which pleases the
stockholders. and it is much cleaner,
which pleases the passengers, engineers
and trainmen.
There is no sitting, and dirty black
smoke, and not cinder. which seems
to the tired. and smoke besmudged
transcontinental traveller about the
millennium.
The two pioneers IN oil experimental
tion are the Santa Fe system and the
Southern Pacific. After they had begun
others took the matter up. and now the
use .,Of grease" is becoming common.
Otto Fass. the travelling passenger
agent of the Santa Fe is in the city, and
In discussing the matter today. he said:
I'VE have made a great success OF oil
burning, and everybody is pleased. We
have tanks now all along the tracks
with the water tanks. and when the en-
CINE stops for water. Il also fills its
reservoir with oil. The oil. which we
get from the California fields, raises
steam much quicker than coal. and the
cost is less. Instead Of the shovel and
tons OF coal in the tender. a small pipe
carries the oil to the furnace. The en-
CINE can carry much more fuel in US
ing oil than when coal supplied the heat.
Probably the most popular part Of
the change is that we now have no more
dirt"
According to the figures furnished.
the railroads obtain their oil at % cents
barrel. two of which produce as much
steam as a ton OF coal. Coal cost about
50 ton. so it is easily seen that the
saving amounts annually TO a great sum-
