SIX GATES ORDERED
FIGHT LASTING FOR YEARS BROUGHT TO A CLOSE BY
 ORDER OF UTILITIES
 ~ COMMISSION. -s. :. {.

New Haven May 21The' public utilities commission in: response e,to a petition from the residents of the Ninth. ward, has. ordered c the New York, New Haven and Hartford road to install gates at the railroad cross ings at Bassett; Brewster, Ivy Thompson, Division. and Argyle streets. -x
 The agitation in the Ninth ward has been growing for years following on several accidents some of them re- sulting fatally. The matter was brought before the board of alder men following the killing of hoTses from engine No. 6 on Division street about year ago, which nearly re- suited in the death of some of tho engine crew. Y .st.se: r..,l z
 The order of the commission was is sued on Saturday, and the New Ha- ven road Immediately notified Direc- tor of Public Works Flames that II would begin yesterday the work of installing the gates at Bassett street, in pursuance to the commissions or der. The road also informed the d1- rector that as soon as practical ble af- ter the completion of the work at Bas, sett street gates would be installed at the other crossings.

FOUND BODY OF HER BROTHER R-lN-LAW IN. ATTIC: STORE ROOM.
OTTO WALTERS DEATH WAS SUICIDE, DUE TO DES-
 PONDENCY.

Lying dead for nearly a week, the body of Otto Walter. aged 40, was found in an attic room in the home of his brother. Julius Walter, 51 Taft avenue, yesterday afternoon when Mrs. Julius Walter entered the attic for the first time in a fortnight. Ot- to disappeared last Tuesday, but as he was given to wandering, his people attached little significance to his dropping out of sight. Dependency over domestic troubles and lack of steady employment is believed to have led to his suicide.
 Walter called at his brothers home last Tuesday for a few minutes, as they supposed. But he had made his way to the attic unobserved and rig ging tube to gas jet. he turned on the deadly stream The tube was still in the rigid jaws of the corpse when the body was discovered.
 Walter had been estranged from his wife for some time There had been one child who died several years ago He is survived by his father who lives in Black Rock, three sisters and a brother. Medical Examiner GarlicA gave permission for immediate burial yesterday and interment was made al Lakeview home cemetery.

Stogie and Cigar
Makers In Conference

What may prove to, be the ending
of the jurisdictional contention that
has existed for many years between
the stogie and cigar makers is the
conference which will be begun in
Washington, D. c., ON Friday May 8.
On that date, G. W. Perkins, presi-
dent of the Cigar Makers Interna-
tional Union, and two members Of
the executive borad will meet with
w. H. RileQ, H. P. Corcoran and Fred
w. Sonderman, president, vice presi-
dent and secretary-treasurer of the
National Stogie Makers League, and
discuss plans for a solution of the
question.
The conference is the result Of
much effort on the part of the Stogie
Makers. Their application for affil-
iation with the American Federation
of Labor being refused by reason of
the objection of the Cigar Makers,
through President Gompers. and Per-
kins, the Stogie Makers have sought
long to have the Cigar Makers either
withdraw their objections to the Ma
tional League or provide protection

Few Contractors Refuse
To Sign Carpenter Scale

Only few of the Wheeling dis
trict >contractors have refused to
sign the new agreement Of the Car
penters. This is the more inexpli-
cable as the scale asks for nothing
new, not one cent more in wages, and
the action of the employers in re-
fusing to sign the agreement for the
new year can only be taken as de-
liberate plan on their part to attempt
to destroy the local union.
In this, of course, they cannot be
successful. And the general public
will give their sympathy to the car
penters, too, for they realize that the
wages of $500 which they are re-
ceiving is entirely Inadequate in the
present high cost Of living times, and
that inasmuch as they have not asked
for an increase, the attempt of these
few contractors to non-unionize their
plants must mean simply the beating
of the present low wages even lower.
Fifty-one contractors, however,
have signed the scale. Among the
planning mills, there ard are now six
strictly union, to five that have not
signed the scale. The mills and con-
tractors who have NOT vet signed
number but twelve. and all of them
are located in Wheeling and Elm
Grove, the employers throuhout the
rest of the Wheeling district having
signed.
The following firms have SO far re-
fused to sign the union aEeement:
w. w. Wood Co, J. w, Beltz &
Sons Co., Klieves Lumber Co., John
L. Giesey, H W. (sscott'') Fair, A.
C. Fisher, Cecil Lumber Co., Bushong

Officials
Enter Protest
sub-District.

The officers of Sub-District 5, U. M.
w. of A., are much annoyed at the
action of Steubenville editor in al
lowing his newspaper to stigmatize
the Bradley miners as "desperadoes"
and anarchists"
"Such disreputable news" said one
of the officers, simply stirs UP more
agitation. We could not have better
nor more loyal and law-abiding men
than the Bradley miners. It looks as
is the corporation newspaper Of Steu-
benville means to act in one-sided
manner to the bitter end"
The Bradley, miners are only seek
ing recognition of their rights, and
everything they have done in that
direction has been done in a conserva-
tive manner. But it looks as if the
powers that be. aided by the Herald
Star, are doing all they can to stir
up trouble among the less controlled,
seeking by untoward act, to goad men
into resistance, and cause grounds
for arrests.
This is an old game, but in spite
of the tricks played upon the Bradley
miners, they cannot be classed as
either "desperadoes," or anarchists
by the Steubenville corporation news
paper. The miners leaders, like their
men, are ,fairminded, law-abiding and
open hearted. The general public OF
Bradley and vicinity is with them!

Off the Stogie Makers within the
Cigar Makers International Union,
but they have done neither.
The Cigar Makers claim jurisdic-
ton over the stogie, but make no
laws for the benefit Of the stogie
maker, and give him no protection,
so that it has become apparent that
they consider the stogie industry as
a competition industry and oppose
the League solely in the hope of re-
tarding the industry.
This has been the attitude here
tofore, and whether there will be a
change of position on their. part re-
mains for this conference to show.
The stogie makers maintain that eV-
eryone who works for wages has q
right to- the protection of unionism
and as long as the Cigar Makers offer
no protection to the stogie makers,
the League proposes to give that pro-
lection, and this position Is being
endorsed with increasing force by
the general labor movement, as the
members come to understand the sit
uation.

Mckinley UrgesMore|
Law Against Miners
In Mound Slave Pen

the point of brutality ALI of this is
because judges and officers of the
law are but the willing tools of the
capitalist lcass.
How One Man Died
They are telling the story in
Moundsville of how one man was
killed at the Mound mine for the
private profit of the owner. They
tell that on May 3, 1911, Frank Wac
lavik, refused permission to come to
the surface when through with his
work, was compelled to remain at
the bottom of the pit, and while sit
ting there, was struck and killed by
a car of coal. This was all because
miners are not permitted to come to
the surface when through work, but
must remain until the end OF the
day when they can all be brought Up
at the same time. This is possibly
to save wear and tear on the cable.
So. Waclavik was killed. His family
appealed to the law and got no ans
wer. They put the case in the hands
of an attorney, Benjamin Rosen-
bloom, of Wheeling, and they say
that for some reason he has done
nothing. They put the case before
the Austrian consul at Pittsburg, but
nothing was ever done.
Waclavik was only a workingman.
Nobody acres.
]. c. Mckinley is a capitalist
Therefore judges and sheriffs and
lawyers and police and the daily pa
per editors jump about at his COM
mand.

Bury Hatchet
HVH HI AMA~UHTH


The Flints and the Greens have
buried the Ratchet, The Glass Bottle
Blowers Association and the Ameri-
can Flint Glass Workers Union haves
through conference of their execu-
tive representatives at Pittsburg,
reached a satisfactory solution of
their jurisdictional fight, and at the
next session of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, the Flint delegates
will be introduced by a Bottle Blow
ers representative.
The Flints have yet to take a ref
erendum vote on the proposition, but
it is believed that the vote will be in
the affirmative, inasmuch as the
Flints have always manifested de-
sire, as hown by their referendum
vote, to get together.
The settlement means that the
Flints will go back in the A. F.. OF
L., which they left some years ago
when displeased with decision that
they believed unjust. Since then
their re-admission has always been
successfully opposed by the Bottle
Blowers, whose president, D. A.
Dayes, is president of the A. F. OF L.
By the agreement the Flints relin-
uuish control of factories using a GER
tain machine, which means that the
factories at Clarksburg, W. Va,
Lockport, N. T., and one other will
be turned over to the Bottle Blowers.
