BROKEN PROMISES.

The Anti-Saloon League wants
the scalp of Governor Dawson for
the reason that he failed to include
in his call for an extra session OF
the legislature the question of local
option. and thereby broke faitE,
having promised the league that this
subject would certainly be embraced
in he call But hasn't the league
gotten accustomed to machine rule
in West Virginia with its broken
promises?
In the language of the Hunting
ton Advertiser who expects Gov
ernOr Dawson and the Republican
party in West Virginia, to carry out
pledges? Governor Dawson and his
party for four years have been
pledged to a primary law. None has
been adopted. Governor Dawson and
his party are pledged to a registra-
ton law. In two legislative sessions
no real registration law has been en-
acted; only a substitute that is worse
than farce Governor Dawson and
his party are pledged by a solemnly
adopted state platform 10 a railroad
commission. None has been Gre
ated. and the governor, out Of re-
gard to political expediency doubt
les, neglects to include the railroad
commission in the long list OF things
that may be considered in the spe-
cial legislative session.
The record of Governor Dawson
and the party that he controls is
record OF broken promises. SO what
right has Mr.. Alvord TO complain
that just one other little promise
has been fractured?"

Charleston w. Va. Jan. 1S.-
A large number of the Norfolk and
Western coal field operators were in
the city hol ling a lengthy confer
ence. but all are very reticent about
giving out any information of the
purpose of the meeting. 1t is un-
derstood, however, that the princi-
pal question was relative to the re-
sumption OF operations in that terri
tory. but from what little could be
learned no definite date was arrived
at. The money question seemed 20
be the real trouble at present. The

A striking evidence of the solidity
of Bluefield's banking institutions is
the fact that the state Bank of Blue

State Bank is strong and conserva-

SEASONING AND TREATING
Of Telephone Pole Cross-arms, an Inter
esting Process

There are used every year in the
Uniteu States about 100000 cross
arms for telephone and telegraph poles
Of these, perhaps one-fourth are now
treated with preservatiyes to increase
their durability, and there are at least
five plants, at New York City, Norfolk
! Va. New Orleans and Slidell, La, and
West Pascagoula, Miss, at which cross
arms are treated. Because of their small
size as compared with the strength re-
quired and the weakening effect OF the
holes for insulator pins and their con
slant exposure to all kinds of weather,
cross arms should receive thorough
treatment. A good treatment with creo-
sote will at least treble their durabil-
.ity.
A large portion Of the supply of cross
arms comes from the South; they are
sawed from the lobloly or old field pine,
of which there is large quantity
throughout this region. This tree grows
rapidly, but contains much sapwood
which is difficult to season. 1t mas been
sald that "loblolly sapwood will rot be-
fore it will season in the warm, damp
climate OF the South" While this is
probably overdrawn, it is necessary SO

Federal Judges Will Sit at
Table With Leaders
DISCUSS INJUNCTI0NS
Mr.. Gompers Won't Be There-oppon
ents of Federation Leader Expected
to Use Event Against Him at
Denver.

Washington, Nov 10.-President
Roosevelt is planning for the most re-
markable dinner of his administration
to be given Teusday evening, Nov IL.
The guests will be certain prominent
leaders Of organized labor, various high
| administration officials, and several
leading federal judges. Great signifi-
canoe will unquestionably be attached
to the function. 1t points to the fact
that the president desires to take oc-
casion to express his approval of the
refusal of organized labor to be made
a political body in the recent compaign,
and also to the fact that the president
wants to see important labor legisla-
tion passed before his administration
ends, and hopes to see a better feeling
on the part of labor toward the courts
He is anxious to see the much mooted
injunction question solved, among 9TH
er things.
President Samuel Gompers is not in
yited, nor Frank Morrison, secretary of
the A. F. of L., and, in fact, nearly all
the high officers of the federation are
omitted, That this will be seized on
by the enemies of Gompers at Denver
in their fight to overthrow him may be
expected.
The labor leaders asked to the dinner
are President d. J. Keefe of the Long
shoremens union, Grand Chief Engineer
W. s. Stone of the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers, P. H. Morrissey of
the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,
+. ]. Dolan, secretary and treasurer of
the international association of Steam
Shovel and Drcdgemen, President A. L.
Faulkner of the Amalgamated Window
Glass Workers. John MITCHELL James
Duncan. first vice president of the Am
erican Federation of Labor and head of
the Granite Cutters; T V. Powderly,
chief Of the division of information Of
the immigration bureau and Edward j.
Gavegan, attorney for the Central
Building Trades association of New
York.
1t is to be noticed that Daniel ].
Keefc is leading the fight on Gompers
and that James Duncan is also promin
ent in this contest.
The president will not relax his eff
forts for legislation to get labor unions
taken out from under the Sherman law
or for government employees liability
act. Undoubtedly he feels that by hav-
ing the Judges and the labor leaders !
come into touch much good can be ac-
complished.

invited are not yet known.
