COMMITTEES NOW BUSY
Making the Preliminary arrange
ments for the Greatest Labor
Demonstration Ever Held in the
State of West Virginia.

The Capitol City Trades Assemb
~ met in regular session Monday
evening with all officers present
and large attendance of delegates
and visitors. After the roll call
and reports OF the officers and a
special committee the Assembly
adjourned in order to organize a
general Labor day committee.
R. H. Kuntz called the com
mittee to order with the following
trades represented:-Bar tenders,
carpenters, clerks, musicians,
painters, plasterers and printers.
it being stated that several of the
locals had not received the notice
of the meeting in time to select
delegates but would do so this
week.
The first thing in order being
the selection of permanent officers
for the committee the election of
the same was gone into which re-
suited in the selection of the fol-
lowing:
Frank w. Snyder, Chairman,
j. L. Pauley Secretary,
Joe j. Limerick, Treasurer.
A motion prevailed that the ex-
ecutive committee consist of seven
of which the permanent
officers should be mem bers, the
chairman to appoint the additional
four, in compliance with the
motion the chair appointed E. F.
r. Judy, c. w. Eagler, r. III.
Kuntz, and E. B.. Mcclure.
The other coR411ittees appointed
are as follows:-
Finance-Joe J. limerick, AL
bert Eaton, l.. d. Kinsie, Reuben
Bloomberg and j. Nj. DeAtely.
Amusement and Music-Hart
Gawthrop, Ed Popp, J. d. Don
nally, Donald Frazer and Will
ellison.
Speakers and Grounds. L.
Heizer, O. w. Eagler, r. H.
Kuntz, Virgil A. Hindman and
Carroll Mcclure.
A general discussion was en-
tered into by the delegates, but
nothing definite was decided upon,
as it was deemed wise to wait un-
til the various sub committees
made their reports at the next
meeting and also to give the other
time to appoint
delegates to participate in the de
of the committees.
The following additional locals
are expected to be represented at
the next :-Bricklayers,
Stone Masons, Linemen, Elec-
tricians, Machinists, Building
Lathers and Railway
Clerks.
The next meeting will take place
on next Monday evening when
final arrangements will be consul
mated and it is safe to say that the
celebration this year will eclipse

THE MINERS
ARE GAINING
In the Alabama Strike Where
Conditions are Likened to Those
in the Scab Fields of West
Virginia.

The following statement made by
National Board Member w. R.
Farley last Wednesday explains
the condition as they now exist in
the great Birmingham district says
the Birmingham Labor Advo-
cate:-
GA Reign of Terroro was the
brief characterization of the strike
situation made by the leader OF
the miners, w. R. Farley.
Continuing his discussion of the
conditions, Mr.. Farley said:
"Deputies and guards are ar
resting men without warrants.
They are breaking up meetings
and taking our men by force,
under threats of shooting them, to
force them to go to work. We
have been in conference with Sher-
iff Higdon and expect that he will
be able to prevent and stop this
lawlessness practiced by the dep
uties and guards. One deputy
sheriff is now in Jail for shooting
Mr.. Merriweather on his own
property simply because the
miners had been holding their
meetings ON his land. Mr.. Merri-
weather is shot through the neck,
but is still living.
owe are of the opinion that this
violence on the part Of the de-
puties and guards is done at an
instigation. There has been no
violation of the law by the miners
since this strike began. Their
conduct has been equally as law
abiding as during the last strike
of over two years.
"Brutality is the order of things
at Yolande and Acton BASIN
Men have been deprived of their
shelter. among them some who
were sick. They are cut off from
communications. They cannot get
their mail and if the situation is
not relieved 1 shall appeal to the
Postmaster General.
"Thirteen of our men were
driven into the city by deputies
without warrants. We have al
ways understood that men, unless
caught doing unlawful acts, could
not be arrested unless warrant
was issued. 1t is quite clear to us
that the deputies and guards are
acting from instructions issued by
the coal companies to their officials.
From the conference with Sheriff
Higdon this morning 1 am hopeful
that this lawlessness practiced by
deputies and guards will cease.
"The conditions here now are
equal to those prevailing in the
Colorado and West Virginia
troubles. We as American citizens
do not propose to tamely submit
to this treatment and any breach
Of the peace will be diligently
prosecuted

has been in progress more thar

Officers Working Night and
Day-Several Good Meetings.

| - AAeboClbsS, NIdLuCT ana
Organizer Pelizzarri, held one of
the largest meetings ever held at
Harewood on Monday evening.
The men working at that place
manifested quite an interest in the
Organization, and are striving at
all time to build it up. This is
one of the banner locals of the
District, and Officers, and members
are to be commended for their
activity, and zeal in keeping it in
the vanguard of the movement.
Sub District President Hastings
and Vice President Lanham, met
with the Local at Gamoca, last
Friday night, and had quite a
large meeting. This local is not
making the gains that it should,
owing to the Indifference of the
men. They should awake to the
full realization of their duty, and
go at it with determination to
make good, and lay aside that old
mlstrust, aud place a larger degree
OF confidence in each otner.
President Hastings, and Sec
Treasurer, Kramer, of the Sub
District were called to Wyndal
last Tuesday for the purpose of
adjusting Il difference existing
there and after every thing was
settled satisfactorily, they met
with the men, and held a very
important meeting, thereby
strengthing the organization at
that place.
Prospects for a big increase in
the membership is very bright and
all local unions should do all in
their power to help swell the
number, thus showing their ap.
probation Of the efforts of their
officers in their behalf. The
membership can be more than
doubled by September 1st if every
member will do his duty.
The local union at Mammoth is
making rapid strides these days its
membership is increasing rapidly.
Seventeen new members were initi-
ated at its last meeting. Prospects
for thorough organization are
very bright.

Fire Alarm.

About ll.45 Tuesday an alarm
Of fire was sounded and the location
given as lOll Holland Street. The
fire company and a large number Of
citizens soon were on the ground, and
found the fire to be at the location
named, and in a manure pile near the
barn on the premises. The fire was
promptly put out by the fire boys.
The loss is very little, the barn was
scorched little on one side, and but
for the prompt action Of the FIRE com.
pany, it would have soon been ashes
The fire was probably caused by
throwing hot ashes on or near the
pile Of rubbish. All is we'll that end:
well and it gave the boys some prac
tice.

Opera House Fire Scare.

Dlring the progress Of the FRS
act in the show of The Holy
Hlty" at the Wilmer Opera House
Monday evening. fire was dis
covered in The dome of the house
near where the stove pipe enters
the chimney. Some called fire
and people began to stand up and
prepared to get out, lumber of
people began to tell them their was
no danger and the crowd showed
their nerve by staying until they
found out that there was no im-
mediate danger The show people
except one actor were perfectly
cool and that tended to lessen the
anxiety OF the crowd. The fire was
easily put out and the show pro-
ceeded to the close of the first act.
After the close of the first act the
people were told to leave the house
quietly, there was no reason for
alarm. The people took time put
on their wraps went down stairs
and across the street and looked
for fire. In few minutes some
one came down and invited them
back saying that the show would
90 on. And about two thirds of
the original audience went back
and saw and heard the Derfor.
nance through. The time that
the audience was out of the house
was used by the fire boys to make
an inspection of the house and
assure themselves that the fire was
entirely out. The fire was IN
doGbtly caused by the stove pine
getting too close to the wood and
paper and a part of the house had
been vanished lately that might
have added to the danger. The
show people and the audience
are to be commended for
their cool and level heads at a time
when it was possible to create a
panic. One of the striking feature
of the show was the ianitor
carrying the fire extinguisher
across the front of the stage while
an act was going on. One of the
actors refused to 90 on
again after the first act. He was
afraid. Altogether it was not a
bad ending to might have been.
