Rushing Work on Gas Line.

A big crew ofmen are working on the
gas line between here and Moore. This
is the extra line they are laying between
this place and the gas field to supply
the line running from here to Cumber-
land, which they have been workin on
all winter and have had some very
rough territory to go through. We un-
derstand that they are getting pretty
well toward Keyser with the Cumber-
land end, and there is not so much more
to do between here and the gas field
with the extra line, so it will not be
long until Cumberland and vicinity will
have gas.-Parsons Advocate.

Letter to E. Z. Tower.
JAMES w. WHITE,
Recording Secretary.
Oakland, Nd

Dear Sir: We asked City Drug Co,
Crystal Springs, Miss, to sell Devoe.
They wanted to know, of their own
knowledge, how it compared with an
other paint they knew all about-it was
sold right there, and considered good.
They painted the house of W. B. Nc
Cluney two coats on purpose to test the
two paints against one-another: one
coat Devoe 6 gallons; the other coat
that other paint 10 gallons. Difference
$40; 81 for paint, S13 for labor
That other paint is made in New Or
leans; is pure; is considered an excellent
paint, and has good deal of local good
will
But the standard of paint has been
low all through the southwest. That
paint is thin; it is, you see, six-tenths of
paint. Devoe saves 500 over it on
half a small job.
1t is a case of local best compared
with actual best.
Yours truly,
Is F. w. DEyoE & Co.

UNIONISM.
The Reverend Charles Stelzle Con-
tributes Interesting Article
on the Subject.

Organized labor was paid an
other compliment the other day,
when the women school teachers
of New York appeared before the
Central Body in that city, request
ing that Il committee be appointed
to see the mayor, using their in.
nuence to have him sign a bill
which voted equal salaries to men
and women, doing the same work
As all trades unioniSts know,
organized labor has long been con-
tending for this point. 1t has been
almost the only organization which
has insisted that women should re-
celre the same wages as men for
the same amount and kind of labor
For this reason alone, it is clear
that trades unionism is the friend
of womankind.
Another reason why women
should look with favor upon trades
unioniSm lies in the fact that for
many years it has been contending
for universal peace. For who
suffers more during a time of war
than the women in our homes ?
Amay from the glamour and
heroics, they silently give their
lives to the cause for which their
husbands, their sons, their broth
ers and their Sweethearts are con
tending on the battlefield. Some
day war shall cease, but it will be
when the workiagmen of the world
declare that they will no longer
kill their brother for the aggran-
disement of a selfish. covetous
ruler.

National Vice President ~. L
Lewis, of the United Mine Work
clS of America, of Bridgeport,
Ohio, arrived in this city Sunday
morning from Columbus, and has
put in several busy days since his
arrival. He has visited several
local unions where his presence
and advice was needed. In all
probability he will spend several
more days in this district.
Mr.. Lewis is pretty well inform
eel on the conditions in this State,
as he has made numerous visits to
West Virginia during the past
several years, and from the further
fact that the lives just across the
Ohio river which affords him an
opportunity to keep Informed as to
the situation in his neighhoring
state. Mr.. Lewis has Il host of

In regard to the general mining
situation throughout the country
I Mr.. Lewis has the following to
say:
'The mining situation over the
country is in very good condition
At present there is little or no
trouble in any of the mining dis
trictS except at Pomcroy, Ohio,
and Stnrgiss, Kentucky.
"The mines in Western Pennsyl-
vania are working three fourthS

prospects for improvement us the

rapidly. The most serious problem
ef1ecting the miners interest in
Western Pennsylvania is the new
dump placed in some of the tipples
and operated by steam power In
use on account of jerking the car
in dumping the coal has increased
J the percentage of coal pouring
through the screen and consequent
ly decreases the earning power of
the men. The adjustment of the
steam dump controversy is in the
) hands of a committee of four men
with power to appoint an umpire
in case they fail to agree. There
are about twenty mines using the
so called improved dump.
'!Thc mines in Ohio are working
better than they have for several
years and the mines in Illinois are
also doing better for this season
than they have for several years
past.
