Ex-senator CuIIom Dies.

Ex-senator Shelby M. Cullom, OF
Illinois, died in Washington after an
illness of more than a week, during
which he lowered between life and
death.
His last words were dish that he
might have lived to see the compile
tion of the national memorial to Abra'
ham Lincoln, who was his personal
friend. He was the resident member
of the Lincoln memorial commission.
Death was due as much to debility
incident to age, Mr.. Cullom being in
his eighty-ffth year, as to any par
ticular malady, although it was direct
ly due to bronchial affection and a
weak heart.
The former senator's last hours
were divided between periods of un-
consciousness and short intervals in
which he recognized those at his bed
side. Although his wonderful vitality
had sustained life from hour to hour,
it became apparent when he could
take no nourishment that the end was
not far off.

Major Sylvester, chief of the Wash

John Jay McDeVitt, of Wilkes-Barre,
Pa, special permit to parade
down Pennsylvania avenue on Feb. 3,
when McDevitt arrives in the capital
with his statue, which he will ask
congress to accept for the nation.
The permit does not give McDeyitt
the right to the capitol grounds, be-
cause Major Sylvester wants to know
what will become of the statue If con-
gress refuses to accept it. He informs
the millionaire for day. that the
statue cannot remain on the street or

|GOMPERS DRUNK
CHARGES MINER
Throws Labor Convention Into
an UpToar.
ROW OVER COPPER STRIKE

Head of the A. r. of L. Heatedly Calls
His .Accuser "Liar!" and ISLAM
derer!"
That Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor,
was "gloriously drunk" at the Seattle
convention of the. federation, was the
charge made by Duncan Mcdonald, OF
Illinois, at the convention OF the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America in In
dianapolis.
During the prolonged cheers, "Liar!"
"Slanderer!" were hurled at McDon-
aid by Gompers, who sat on the plat
form.
81 am glad Mr.. Gompers is here so
I can say what l want to-" said Nc
Donald, in beginning his reply to the
speech, made by Gompers. Il said
there were booze fighters in charge of
the American Federation Of Labor,
and I'll prove it. At the Seattle con-
vention I had room with my wife at
| hotel next to the room reserved by
the resolutions committee. The first
Saturday night we could not sleep for
the noise made by bunch of drunks
in the next room.
81 appealed to the clerk of the ho-
| tel, and the noise grew worse. Then
I went down to the hotel office, and
the night manager called Jim Duncan
on the phone and told him they would
have to get out of the room, that they
were disturbing all on the floor.
"The noise grew fierce, and I finally
knocked on the door of the room. and
was asked to come in and have
drink. When the door was opened
there sat Sam Gompers at the head OF
the table gloriously drunk with a bot
tie of booze in his hand"
The statement threw the convention
in an uproar, and it was some time be-
fore order was restored. While the
confusion was at it's height Gompers
called Mcdonald a liar and a SIAN
derer.
Mcdonald charged Gompers with
maintaining a machine to perpetuate
himself at the head of the federation
and of assisting the Democratic party
even against candidates of other par
ties who are members of labor organi-
cations. He ridiculed the idea that the
unions could not pay two-cent as
sessment to aid the Michigan copper
mine strikers.
"If union would not meet the as
sessment," declared Mcdonald, why
I would rather they would get outside
the federation. If a two-cent assess
ment can break up the American
Federation of Labor, then it Is
mighty flimsy institution"
Gompers followed Mcdonald and
denied absolutely the charge of drunk
enness. He declared the statement to
be "Iibellous, untruthful, vicious,
slanderous and without any form of
honor"
Gompers denied that he maintained
machine to keep himself in office
and as an illustration said he had two
offers of positions from the governor
of great state, one paying $4,000
year and the other $4,000, but had
refused both to continue in the labor
movement.
Gompers reiterated his statement
that to levy an assessment would be
disastrous to organized labor and that
it could not be collected In time to
benefit the copper strikers. He denied
that the Democratic party had any
label on him.

Notes From Ohio

The coal trade is picking up rap
idly at the present and things look
good for it to continue until the first
of April anyway.
There is some rumor reported that
the No. 2 mine of the Rail and River
Coal company is to resume work af-
ter having been abandoned indefinite
ly. This will be good news. for nearly
three hundred men who work there.
The cold weather of the past few
weeks has worked hardships on the
men employed outside on the tipples
of the different coal mines, also on
building work. The Clifford con-
struction company which is changing
the course of the creek out Wegee at
the new mine of the Geo. M. Jones
Coal company is also having trouble
In getting their men to work as the
cold is intense, owing to the high
wind that travels down the creek.
A colored miner employed in the
Pultney mine of the Geo. M. Jones
company at south Bellaire had his leg
broken by fall of coal and stone
last Friday but at the present is get
ting along as well as could be expect
ed. Pultney has not had any serious
accidents lately with the exceptions
of few foreigners getting dinged
up with coal and stone to a small de-
gree.
The movement Of the Pure Food
and Red Star Groceries of placing
stores In every town in the Ohio val
ley that is of any size whatever, is
going to be q very good thing for
the working class ia general 1t only
goes to show you what can be done

they are run for private profit. It will.
