With this information the athletic

be easier this year because each free

certain Identification marks.
The disposal Of complimentary tick

police say they have been compelled
to do this so that the criminals might
not have chance to operate while an

ter the investigation some specific

The charge Suspicious person" has
been used for almost every crime

WHEELING, Dec. 3.--John Nugent.
president Of the lately dissolved state
Federation OF Labor. against whom
charges were brought by the Ohio Val.
ley Trades Assembly AMI other trades
bodies in this State, appears TO have
received the cold shoulder In this
city, according to prominent local la.
Dor leaders. (,
Nugent Issued a call for a meeting
Of the Federation after the Wheeling
officers had surrendered the charter
to the American Federation OF Labor.
to be held at Charleston, December
18th, for the purpose OF making an
investigation into the charges 1t
was then announced that Nugent
would visit Wheeling in the near
future to confer with prominent la.
Dor leaders regarding the rc-organi.
zation Of the federation. y
According to the programme, MI,

and remained here until Monday morn.
ing. Whether he went to Charleston,
Is not known, but 1t is believed that
he will be here again In a day or two
to confer with Organizer Thomas H.
Flynn, of the American Federation OF
Labor, who Is now In New York. Mr..
Flynn returned to Wheeling after the
close OF the annual convention of the
federation ut Norfolk. and Mr.. Nh.
gent expected to meet him here. Flynn
left Saturday night for New York and
failed to return to hold his conference
with Nugent. Local labor leaders as
sert that Flynn has no desire to see
Nugent and for that reason ignored
his request for n conference. which
was the principal reason OF Nugent's
visit here. ....
1t was also reported that Mr. MI.
gent would confer with National Vice
President Thomas l.. Lewis, OF the
United Mine Workers. at the latter's
home in Bridgeport. This afternoon
Mr., Lewis stated TO reporter that
he had not yet communicated with
Mr.. Nugent, and did not expect to see
him. Previous to that time Mr.. M.
gent had paid his bill at the hotel
and left.
AS far as could be learned, Nugent's
visit here was frost, as he failed to
confer with any OF the officials OF the
Trades Assembly, or any other proml.
nent local labor people.
In issuing the call for the lnvesti.
CATION OF the charges against him, M.
gent ignored the local Trades Assem-.
bly,. and 1t is said that the reason his
visit here was treated with such cool.
ness was simply to "get even.' 1T is
probably, however, that some Of the
labor people from this vicinity inter
ested in the squabble, will attend the
meeting at Charleston December II.
