WAGES ADVANCED.
Window Glass and Wages Both
Share in Raise.
Ten Per Cent for WOrkers-Twenty
Per Cent on Glass-Local Factories
May Not Start Till October.

AT a meeting of the Federation
Window Glass Company at Colum
bus, Ohio, Monday, it was decided
to advance the price of glass 20 per
cent. September 1st. The local fac
tories here, the Jones and Marilla
Window Glass factories, have a
selling agreement by which their
contracts are made by the Fedora
ton so they will share in the increase
in prices.
The wage scale previously agreed
upon by the committee on this sub
ject was approved by the directors,
and the local factory workers will
share in this. The advance in wages
, is 10 per cent above those paid last
year. This appears to be the same
Denny scale agreed upon at Buffalo
recently
From Columbus it is reported
that the factories will not likely
start up till October 10th. The
managers of the local factories have
no idea when they will start.
The president of the workers
organization, Simon Burns, agreed to
accept reduction in the wages oil
his en- in case machine made glass
sells for less than that made by
hand. A.
Local manufacturers are not eX-
pectirg any great revolution in
glass making to be brought about
by the machines just yet.

PROMISE TO BUILD
Or Land Reverts to Original
Owners in Three Years.
b. 4 D. Intends to Build Star Route
or is Putting up Big Bluir-Right of
Way Being Purchased-Many Sur,
yeyOrs at Work.

Several camps of engineers and a
little army of men are at work on
the east and west short line, recently
named the star route.
One corps of surveyors with five
tents are located at Cassville and
another with big crowd of men
along on Dolls Run. Still another
has been at work on Dunkard creek
1t is said that some sections of
right of way for this route have al
ready been purchased near Cameron.
1t is being taken up 100 feet wide,
and paid for outright. The contracts
state, so it is reported, that in case
the railroad is built over this route
and cars running within three years,
the purchase money is to be kept by
the sellers as forfeit, and the land
reverts to Them in fee simple.
This IL taken to mean that some
thing is going to be done IN railroad
building, or else the b. and o. is
putting up most expensive bluff.
1t is understood that the B. and
o. people already own the Millhol-
land coal field, and right of way for
railroad at Usage. Their route leaves
the present road near Cameron, cross
es the Dunkard Creek, down that
stream, and across to Dolls Run,
from Dall's Run over to SCOTS Run
down that stream to its mouth, up
West Run to Easton and on across
Cheat by the route heretofore refer
red to in this paper to Confluence Pa.
The great number of surveyors
employed, and the removal of the
chief engineers office from Martins
burg here, are taken as indications
that the B. & q. people really ex-
pect to build the proposed road.
1t is reported that the right OF
way man Mr.. Wilson has been pur-
chasing right of way beyond Easton
between there and Cheat, but this
has not been verified.

Like the Hospitality.

Speaking of the visit of the Far
mont Elks to Morgantown Tuesday
the Times says:
"The local Elks are very loud in
their praise of Morgantown for the
hospitable manner in which they
were treated. They were MI at the
train by band and escorted to the
ball ground, and after The game
were entertained in most charming
way at the Elks' Club urtil train
time. All the Fairmonters, about
twenty five in number, pronounce
the day success and are firmly
convinced that Morgantown people
know how to extend the true Vlr
glnia hospitality"

SAND PATCH TUNNEL.
Redwood Gazette Assigns as Reasons
For New Line from There.

1t is reported that the B. d O
people are very much alarmed ovel
the fact that the Sand Patch tunnel
between Cumberland and Councils
vile is exhibiting signs of rapid
decay and consequent danger, says
the lockwood Gazette. To remedy
this defective piece OF line has long
been a problem which seemed i'm
possible of solution and to double
track the tunnel is simply work
that cannot te thought OF, because
were it attempted, the present track
would need to be abandoned for a
year or two to widen the tunnel,
arch it and build the second track.
Hence the company's determine
ton 10 build double track line
from a point about mile east OF
lockwood to the White Horse tun
mel of the old South Penn route,
thence to Hancock, Md. This work
is to be completed about the time
the line from Wheeling to Confu-
euce is in running order, and then
the main east and west line of the
entire B. IL O. system will include
the Connellsville division.

Hill.Knight Nuptials.

Earnest Hayes has returned from
Richmond, where he attended the

known here. The marriage rites
were solemnized at the home of the
bride, Barton Heights, at noon
Monday, August 10th. DR.. Hill

To Extend Trolley Line.

The Fairmont & Clarksburg Trac.
tion company is negotiating for the
purchase of the street car extension
from the car loop to the Union Land
park. The extension is owned by the
park owners. The deal will probably
be closed this week. The car compa-
ny has found the park extension q
paying one. The local company will
probably have similar experience,
when the Granville, Mount Morris
and Cheat river extensions are com.
pleted.

accompanied by Sheriff Barrickmar

A free site was offered to the Ston'

CHARITY FUND
Was not Greatly Swelled by
Elks Game Yesterday.

The Fairmont Elks came down oil

afternoon, were met by the Glas

the visitors, and the beagle heye o
Old Slewth himself could not have
picked out the nine men who wer,
supposed to wear the base ball uni
forms. When they did get into thei
toys, it was evident that beauty o.
form had not been the basis of Sc
lection. But then some ofthe Nor
gantown bunch didn't look SO awful
ly handsome in uniforms.
Good humor, scientific kidding
and pretty fair ball playing fol
amateurs characterized the game
1t wasn't bad exhibition, after all
and was greatly enjoyed by every
body, with the possible exception OF
some of the PLAYERS. The CHARITY
fund was not swelled t. any immense
proportions, and Manager Mills,
viii have to do some close figuring to
made things come out even.
Morgantown won the game, of
course. In the very first inning,
Dolly Kincaid smashed the ball for
two bases, just TO start things q
going. And you ought to see NAL
lonee he hadn't had baseball bat
in his hand for a long time. but be
swung 1t for IA three Dagger the very
first time up. He got five hits dur
ing the game, for fatal of s bases,
and that isn't any hot air, either.
The locals scored four runs in the
first inning. Fairmont scored one in
the first, aud ia the third, Corbin
got some Deckers creek sand in his
eyes, Lefty Core threw the ball at
the coacher on third base, and the
Marion men chased around tue bags
for two more. The final score was
10-7 in favor Of Morgantown. Fair
mont made tremendous batting

cut in with some real pitching 81 UNITS
DIR. Howard's work on the duffer
for the visitors was excellent. He
was very popular with the crowd and
received marked attention from Geo

1t required two umpires to keep
things going right. Jim Kennedy
looked after the Morgantown end Of
the empiring business, and he bad
no lead pipe cinch, either

were only relieved by application OF

Road-Paving Inspected.
According to agreement six of the
eleven members OF council met We'd
nesday morning and made tour OF
inspection over the street car route
afoot. They went around the entire
loop visiting all the track that has
been laid.
Those who made the trip were May,
or McGrew, Recorder Sisler and coun.
cilmen Hayes, Fife, Wade and Janis
on. Each member took look fol
himself, but made few comments tt
his fellow councilmen. 1t Is proba'
Bile that a discussion of the conditions
existing will be held at the next meet
ing of the city fathers.
The pavement newly laid on Beech
urst, since the street car tracks were
put down is found to be all O. X. and
the best along the route. OF the rest
that on High and Front streets seems
to be the worst. On more remote
sections of the streets, the condition
of the pavement is not so bad.
Councilman Morehead met the 9th
er members, but had to return to tn,
store, as Mr.. John was absent from
the business. Mr. Breakiron was no
able to make the journey.

Oak Taylor, Assassin of Marion Furr.
WESTON, W. Va, Aug. 10.-L. II.
Barrett, prosecuting attorney OF Gil
mer county, was here to-day and says
there is a bitter feeling against Oak
Taylor, the murderer OF Marion Fur,
and that on this account change of
venue will likely be asked. We
understand Judge Lin Brannon favors
this and that the case will probably
be sent to Weston for trial. Taylors
friends will ask tomorrow morning
for his release on bond. Both sides
represent considerable wealth and no
money will be spared by the defense
as we'll as by friends of Fur whose
brother has already by wire employed
two of the most able lawyers in the

WAS NOT A BLUFF
Union Utility Company Has
Stopped Work or West Side.

Material will be used In Walnut Street
Line and Road 10 Sahraton-S similar
Experiences Of the NJ. 4 X. Some
Reflections on attitude OF Property
Owners.
The statement contained in these
columns yesterday To he effect that
the Union Utility { mpany would
discontinue all works on the West
Side trolley line to Granville was
not bluff. The company meant
Just what they said and the orders
have been issued. The foremen were
notified To discharge the men this
evening. All orders for material have
been cancelled and The poles. ties,
rails, aud other supplies on the
ground will either be moved TO the
Walnut street extension 10 the car
barn, to be used or stored fer tu-
ture use on the Sabraion line.
Dean and Hoffman, the eontrac.
tors, will send some Of their men to
Elkins, Others will work at Manning
ton and some will be added to the
Walnut street force. The West
Side gang is employd today in put
ting the cuts and grades in shape so
that they will not be spoiled by the
elements
This will change The plans of the
company TO great extent. 1t may
be years before the Vest Side inn
proyements are resumed. The Sab.
ration line will be the h, xt extension
and the efforts that were being made
on the West Side will probably be
turned in that direction The rights
Of way on the porposed Sabraton
line have been offered free of all
costs
As stated yesterday, the company
has spent 100000 on the West Side
and the matter of $4,000. was not al
together the cause OF stopping work.
1t was partly due to the principle
involved, the objections of The COM
pany to being held up. One OF the
directors states that proposition
aitei proposition was made 60 the
owners, and all failed and that it
was some satisfaction to be able TO
quit, in the face of such stand and
deliver" tactics. 1t is simply case
of killing the goose before the golden
egg was laid.
The same spirit was manifested
towards the Black Bottle railroad,
in 1887. Exhorbitant prices asked
by land owners made it necessary to
condemn the rights of way, causing
a delay of 6 months in getting down
to work. The panic followed and
the work was not resumed for 10
years.
The Wabash is NEE ing with the
same sort OF opposition in this coun-
ty. They have offered 5000 and more
an acre for land that otherwise
would not be worth $50, and have
been confronted with foolish domains
400 to 1000 per cent more than
just price.
The Wabash quit in the Little
Kanawha valley alter spending over
half million, on account Of Che ex-
horbitant demands of land owners.
Even the Gould millions could not
stand the demands, and all the con
tracts we're transferred to the route
from Pittsburg through to the Ty-
CARTS valley.

Growth of Our Railroads.

From a little wooden track over which
the first locomotive had its trial in 1929
the railroad systems OF the United States
have grown to such an extent that the
tracks if placed together would extend
eight times around the world. There is
also wonderful growth behind the eel
ebrated Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
1t was first presented over fifty years
ago, and during those years has made
such an uDequaled record of cures that
to-day finds it foremost In its class as a
reliable family medicine. 1t will cure
sick headache beching, heartburn, in.
digestion, constipation, and malaria, fe-
Yer and ague. Hundreds have so testi-
fed and we therefore urge you to try it.

trip around the loop on street car,
playing as they went, and this did
much toward swelling the crowd.
