25,OOO MATTERS
 OUT ON STRIKE
Hat Manufacturers Meet to
 Discuss Future Plans
ALL IS QUIET EVERYWHERE
No Move Is Made on Either Side and Hatmakers and Manufacturers Are Waiting for Some Sign
 of Yielding.

New York, January Special )-Ad- hitting that 25.oOO matters were on strike and that their shops had been complete ly tied up, a number of the most im- portant hat manufacturers of the east met today in the Hotel Knickerbocker After their meeting they issued this state ment:
 "e are going to make no move to- ward filling our shops with strike breakers until we learn what action the executive committee of our organization, the National Hat Manufacturers associa- ton, takes at meeting to be held in the Knicker5ocker Sunday afternoon"
 To this was added a statement by Pres ident Samuel Mundheim of the Manufdc- turers' association. He said:
 "The strike, we admit, is very com plete one, despite it's suddenness. The manufacturers are badly tied up but they are going to stand together and will not recede from the position they took several days ago to discontinue the use of the union label in their hats. That brought about the strike.'
 The strike is about at a standstill, for the hattels are playing waiting game, too. National Secretary Martin F. Law Tor of the United Hatters of America said:
 We are not going to do anything fur ther until we hear the next move of the manufacturers. This we expect to learn tomorrow after their meeting. Then on Monday morning we will give out a detailed statement covering the entire sit uation.
 From Danbury, Conn.,, and South Nor walk Conn.,, where most of the hat shops are shut down, came reports today that the day was a very quiet one. No hat ters were working and no attempt was made to fill their places.

%ON-TO-CAIRO0
OHIO IMPROVEMENT WORKERS RE-
DOUBLING EFFORTS.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. I7.-with
renewed energy, hard and telling
work and with more confidence and
hope than ever, many Pittsburg busi-
ness men are taking interest in the
"on to Cairo project, which has
been advocated many years. The
improvement of the Ohio river pro-
dding for nine-foot stage every day
in the year between Pittsburg and
Cairo has so far progressed as to pass
the project idea, and today is a
policy left for the United States gov
ernment to adopt and execute.
The National Rivers and Harbors
Congress will meet in Washington,
D. c., December $40, and the Ohio
Valley Improvement Association at
Cincinnati, Ohio, October 1915.
President Taft has made this official
statement:
my own Judgment is that every
improvement like that of the Ohio
river should be treated as one grea,
enterprise, Just as we have treated
the Panama Canal, and provision
should be made by bonds or other,
wise for the setting aside of fund
sufficient to complete it as rapidly a.
possible. y

IS PEARY WEAKENING?

Explorer Peary is quoted in a re-
cent dispatch as saying, 1t would
be quite'possible for DR.. Cook s party
or any expedition to arrive at the
Pole by any one of hundred routes
and for one to find no trace of it if
our paths lay far apart. : This, he
added, must not be taken to mean
that he comedies that his rival reached
the Pole.
Commander Peary has furnished
no evidence that Cook did not reach
the Pole, and this latest interview
can hardly be reconciled to his earlier
''gold brick message, which by the
way, be now claims were private
messages-although sent to news
paper-and not intended for publica-
tion.
The admission that Cook might
have reached the Pole IS, to say the
least, hardlyconfrmatOry Ofhisearlier
emphatic assertion that the doctor
did not get there.

THE POLAR RTYALS

When Cook returned from the
north the circumstances of his un-
heralded and almost unwitnessedf feat
put the burden of proof upon hun.
He publicly recognized the fact.
That burden Peary has now assum-
ed by his messages, Don't let
Cook worry you. Have him nailed; :
and again: she has simply handed
the public a gold brick. " Peary must
disprove Cooks claim, and sooa. He
cannot, as he seems to think, safely
delay disproof until Cook has made
a full statement of his journey over
his signature to some geographical
society or other reputable body. :
Gen. Greely voices the general inn
preston that such an indictment of
a man S truthfuluess'' as Peary has
drawn against Cook should be ac-
companied by ample testimony con-
with the charge"
The world has not failed to note
how strikingly Pearys account has
borne out many of Cook $
statements. Both men found the
open Polar Sea-, long ago predict
ed. Both met leads in the ice
above the continental shelf about
the seth parallel.
Even the temperatures reported
at the Pole by the two men differ
little. Cook repOrts-Ss; Peary a
of-ss.
Peary has declared that Cook did
not reach the Pole. The whole world
now looks to him to prove his state-
ments.

Battle Harbor, Labrador, (By

F.)-Sept. ls.-commander Peary
was asked to-day whathe would have
done If he had fallen sick at the pole,
with no one in the accompanying
party capable of taking an ohsera-
ton. To this he replied:
my last moments would have
been devoted to taking observations
in order toleaye thereeord. Iwould
not permit anything to interfere with
that important duty and would
have handed the records to the Es-
kimos to take to Mrs. Peary.
If had died within sight of pole
I would have had to depend on my
Eskimos to tell how far they Travelled
from the last supporting party, or on
my observations.
my records arevery complete and
most carefullykept. They are sealed
in skins and parchments so that if
thrown on the ice or in water they
probably would drift for years without
sinking or without being damaged and
would eventually be found. This
priceless package will not be opened
until arrive in New York.
Commander Peary confirms the
statement that four EslimOs were
with him at the pole. He says that
he has made no statement differently
from this.
The Commander was shown dis
patch from Washington that the Geo
graphical Society would like to ac-
knowledge both polar claims but in
view of the dispute must technically
decline to accept until the mat
ter has been investigated and he said:
THAT suits me.
Harry Whitney, who is on the
schooner JEANNE, is due to arrive in
touch with civilization any day from
his polar bear hunt on the coast of
Greenland. He is reported to have
DR.. Cooks records in his possession
and it is said here that Whitney has
stated that DR.. Cook told him he had
been at the pole.
1t is said also that Whitney is go
ing to South America with DR.. Cook
on hunting expedition.

REVIVAL MEETING
HELD on WRECKED TRAIN OF THE
c.&0. RAILROAD.

There have been unique church
services, but probably the most uni-
que that has ever been held in West
Virginia was that brought about by
wreck on the Coal river branch of
the c. & o. Monday evening, this
week.
Passenger train No. eos, on the
Coal river branch, left St. Adams
late Monday afternoon. The great
er number of passengers were earn
est members of the Baptist church,
who were en- route to the meeting of
the association, which was tobe held
at Peytona, in Boone county, Tues-
day and Wednesday. In addition
there were several travelling men.
lumber men, railroad laborers and
others.
AZ a point near Dartmouth, the
train collided head-on with train
No. sss, northbound out of Peytona.
Both engines were wrecked and two
cars demolished, but, as the trains
were not running at a high rate of
speed, none of the passengers or
trainmen were injured, although
they were considerably Jared up and
frightened.
The wreck was of such serious
nature that it was soon apparent
that the trains would be unable to
proceed for ten or twelve hours,
which meant that the southbound
passengers, including those who were
en- route to ehe Baptist Association,
would not be able to reach Peytona
until early the following morning.
There was not hotel or boarding
house within many miles of thescene
of the wreck, and farm houses were
few and far between, so the passen-
gers were left to rough it, tired and
hungry, as best they might, until
the morning.
There was to have been a great
meeting of the Baptists in Peytona
that evening, and the delegates and
Christian people on ooard were an
noyed at being unable to reach the
town in time to attend it, but a
happy suggestion was made and in
one of the cars there was soon in
progress religious service that was
destined to continue through practic-
ally the entire night. There were
fervent prayers, eloquent addresses
and appeals for better life. The
songs of Zion were probably never
more impressive than to the motley
assortment that gathered in the
dirty, dimly lighted and partially
wrecked railroad coach. The ser.
vices grew in feryor as they cOntin.

tians. When the track was cleared
and the trains proceeded it was
happy band of Christian workers whc
finally arrived in Peytopa just in.tim,
for the first. morning services of tn,
association.
Captain Halstead, the conducto
on the wrecked so6, declared tha
he was willing to cOncede the dis
covOry of the North Pole to eithe
Cook or Peary, or both, but that h,
clung to the honor of having com
manded the first church on wheel
that ever penetrated the Boon
county mountains.
