"One man sued US for the loss OF an
eye, ne replied His suit was in the

that time he worked for US.
Don't Dismiss Union Men.
AS to the alleged dismissal Of union
men can simply say that it has not
been done TO my knowledge and the
superintendent always have been in
structed never to discharge a man for
belonging to union. In fact, many
OF our men have belonged to unions

our part"
Are there any. saloons at your
mines? he was asked.
saloons are located on our property,
L am very sorry to say" WelbOrn re-

possible to keep a force OF men at
mine without a saloon. We do not
operate the places and receive no rev
buildings"
The mine company president told OF
conferences he had with governor Am
mons about August /, 1918. in which he
declared, he told the governor the com
pany was ready to agree to all the de-

Tratnmen Defeat En0lnemen.
The tallypots and hogheads under
the able management of Pete Myers
went down to an honorable defeat by
Pat Kielty's fast stepping trainmen
yesterday afternoon, the score being
16 to II. Judging from the way Louie
Nelson heaved the ball you might i'm
agine him heaving coal, for every time
he attempted to throw to third he
threw about six feet over the third
baseman's head. Bob Conway run out
Of his supply of corn starch and as a
result his glove was in a leaky condi-
ton when it came to handling the
ball. For the winners Pat Kelty
caught a magnificent game. Pat
proves to be a fighting leader as
shown by his numerous disputes with
his own men and Jim Eagan the um-
pire. The trainmen had their star
pitcher In the box in the person of
Bill Houck. Bill had the tallypots in
the hollow of his big hand thruout
the game. Pete Myers pitched a good
game for the enginemen but his sup
port failed him in the pinches. Pete's
puzzling curves caused many of the
opposition to strike out. After five in.
nings Of such strenuous work he gave
way to Beecroft who finished the
game.
