BURLINGTON PAPER
MAKES A CORRECTION
Aaperslons Cast on Mr.. cooper's En-
cheering Skill withdrawn by
Burlington Post.

In last weeks issue of the Burling-
ton Post an article appeared rejecting
en- the engineering ability of Engi-
neer Hugh L. Cooper, the charge hay
ing been entirely incorrect. This
week the Post comes forward with
the following correction:
Several weeks ago an item appear
ed in this paper wherein we asserted
that a power dam, built by Hugh l..
Cooper in the Susquehanna river at
McCall's Ferry, had been carried out
by the Ice. This paper does not wish
to do any person an injustice by stat
ing anything as fact which subse-
quent development proves to have
been an error. Mr. w. e, Blake, who
represents the Mississippi Power COM
pany, assures us In the strongest
terms that our statement is an error;
that the dam partly built by Mr..
Cooper at McCall's Ferry did not
bulge when the ice went against It,
and that contractors are now at work
completing that dam. We believe that
Mr.. Blake is in possession of the facts
concerning this matter and we accept
his statement as the truth, and at his
request we print this correction.

in their possession type written
scale delivered to them by the work
men with demand that it be accept
ed by the first of April on which day
this new scale of prices and rules
should go into effect.
Afterwards the different business
places of the employers were visited
by the committee to ascertain wheth-
err or not their terms had been accept
ed and signed.
These visitations, it is said, develop,
cd the fact that only about three OF
the lesser firms had signed the cen.
tract while the larger houses who
employ the bulk of the employees de,
clined positively to sign the new con
tract.
All these negotiations are being
carried on in the most quiet manner
accompanied by no loud talk or blus
ter. From present appearances if the
iworkmen continue in their demands
a strike must be inevitable, for the
stand taken by the employers seems
firmly fixed and from which they have
no idea of yielding.
