DECORATION DAY A SUCCESS
In Spite Of this Fact--Large Crowds Come
From the Country and from Nearby

Program Carried Out Despite all
Difficulties-What is on Hand
for the Rest Of the Day.
From Saturdays Daily.

The prophecy that Morgantown
was to have the biggest celebration
of Memorial Day this May 30th, is
being glorionsly fulfilled. The city
is filed with people from the COUNTRY
and neighboring towns; the dis
tinguished guests are all here, the
bands are playing patriotic airs,
flies are screaming, colors are flying.
amusement booths are open on every
hand, the crowd is jolly, and is
wearing holiday attire and faces, the
day is grand success in every par
tioular. Even the weather man has
been reasonably propitious.
The celebration of Decoration day
began with booming of cannon at
six O'Clock this morning and the
town awoke 1t stretched itself
sleepily and thin began to get in
shape for the big time.
A glance was taken at the SIX and
it was determined that today was to
be a threatening one but that the
chances favored fine celebration
free from the risk OF rain.
Then attention was turned TO
decorating residences and business
houses Soon the amount OF bunt-
ing and flags displayed became a
prominent feature and the town put
on a gala appearance.
Streets had been washed as clean
as possible and the sidewalks had
been swept.
The town looked its best. Crowds
of people began to appear and soon
the streets were crowded. Many OF
those in the throngs had noise
making machines OF one kind or
another and they proceeded to make
themselves general nuisance.
At nine o'clock the cadet corps q
the University with their band went
to the depot and escorted the speak
ers and other prominent visitors to
their hotels.
In the meantime the parade was
forming, red faced men galloped
around shouting orders to which nc
one paid the least attention, and fl
nally the parade formed and moved

SECRET AGREEMENT
New Haven Trainmen Get
Unknown Concessions.
TOLD THEY HAVE BEEN WELL TREATED
Mr.. Fitzpatrick After Conference
With President Hall Issues State
ment Very Indefinite, but
Pleasing to WorIxmen.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, April 2.-The
differences between the trainmen Of
the New York, New Haven and Hart.
ford company and their employers
were amicably settled late yesterday.
The men appear to be perfectly satis-
fed with the concessions made by the
railroad officials.
The final agreement relieved the ten
sion, which was rapidly reaching the
breaking point, not 50 much among the
conferees, but in the rank and file of
the trainmen scattered over the rail-
road system. The many delays were
becoming irksome to these men, and
there is little doubt bat that they
would have broken over the traces de-
spite all their committee and their ad-
wiser, Valentine Fitzpatrick, could do
had not the agreement been reached at
such an opportune time.
The men are loud in their praises of
Mr.. Fitzpatrick, who since he was
called into the conference by President
Hall has brought the position Of the
trainmen before the directors commit
, tee in manner which was satisfactory
to both sides. Mr.. Fitzpatrick imme.
diately after the final adjournment Of
the conferences went to his hotel and
prepared a statement for the press. In
giving it out he made the announce
ment that the contents of the state
ments had been agreed upon between
President Hall and himself. The state
ment, which was very brief, contained
nothing whatever to indicate just ex-
actly what concessions had been grant
ed to the men by the officials of the
railroad. The statement is as follows:
1.-THE committee and Mr.. Fitzpatrick
met President Hall, Vice President
Merrill and Directors Miller and Thay-
er and succeeded in reaching a settle
ment which we have every reason to
believe will be very satisfactory to all
concerned.
"The wages, hours and rules govern
ing the conditions of the employment
of road brakemen, switchmen, yard
conductors and yard brakemen are ma
terially improved, and we believe when
the employees learn of just what has
been done in the matter they will feel
that they have been Justly treated by
their employers"

sHAMRocks SECOND TRIAL.
New Cup Challenger Proves Herself
Faster Than Shamrock L.

Faster Than Shamrock 1.
GOUROCK, Scotland, April 2.-The
second trial spin between the Sham
rock Ill, Sir Thomas Lipton's new
challenger for the Americas cup, and
the Shamrock L. took place yesterday
afternoon.
The biggest jackyarders were hoisted
shortly after o'clock and, with hard
paing northwesterly wind, the chal
lenger at $3.50 slipped her moorings.
AS the jib was broken out and she
headed out of the bay the Shamrock L
was after her.
The challenger raced out on the star
board tack, walking through the water,
which was now white topped, with a
steadiness and grace of action that
could not but be remarked The Sham
rock 1. shot off in the rear of the chaI-
lenger down the Firth at pace of ten
knots an hour.
The gain of the challenger was per-
ceptible within the first two miles, dur
ing which the boats were fairly close
hauled. 1t was reckoned that in the
distance of about seven miles to We
myss point the initial advantage Of
Shamrock III. had been doubled.
The reaching trial lasted down oppo-
site Skelmorlie, where the challenger
was over mile in the lead. There was
no doubt as to the genuineness of the
sailing, which was plainly very much
in favor of Shamrock III.
The final trial on the Clyde will be
sailed today.

The most recently labor bulletin
issued by the Massachusetts, Bureau
eSf Labor Statistics contains a record
of the strikes in that State during
twenty years ending with 1900 and il
is worthy of careful consideration by
all who contemplate striking.
Massachusetts, ranked fourth in
number of strikes during that period.
It had 1902 strik es and lockouts, of
which 976 were ordered by trades
unions and 10 employers associations.
There were $3.50 establishments in
volved and the loss of time aggregated
III, 1886 days. The amount of wages
lost by the employees was $17, 7S0, 1913
and the amount lost by the employers
was 81, $50, 642.
The strikes or lockout succeeded in
40 2 per cent of the establishments,
partially succeeded in 20.07 per cent
and failed in 37.63 per cent.
There were 253, ,457 employees in
volved in the strikes and there were
more employees thrown out of work
than there were strikers. The total
number who lost their jobs through
strikes was 80, 1885,
A strike may succeed, but it costs
the employees as much as it costs the
employers and many men and women
lose their jobs permanently as a re-
suit of active participation in the
strike movement
No body of workmen should strike
without carefully counting the cost.
They are always the sufferers whether
they win or not.
