The Albanian Situation Is
More Serious Than Thought.

advice as they fear further conplica-
tons
The European governments have Sc
cured proof that the Mussulmans, both
in Constantinopie and Albania had
prepared uprisings in favor of placing
Izzet Pasha, formerly Turkish minis
ter of war, on the throne of Albania,
and that this object was frustrated by
the arrest on Jan. 6 of six Turkish
officers and 200 soldiers when they ar
rived at Avlona, the Albania seaport,
from Constantinople.
Evidence also has been obtained by
the Powers that the Mussulmans are
determined to use Albania as a center
of disturbance which will radiate from
there to other parts of the Balkans
and especially to Greece against which
Turkeys resentment is said to be par
ticularly directed.

floors The thermometer registered 10
degrees below zero. and the wind was
blowing a gale, making fire fighting
difficult. But the flames were held in
check in the original building, other
adjoining property being damaged by
smoke and water.

CALEB POWERS
WILL SPEAK

: Caleb Powers, now congressman
from Kentucky, but who spent eight
years in prison upon the charge Of
completely in the murder Of Governor
Goebel Of Kentucky, will tell how it
feels to be Right upon the Scanold"
in a lecture at Market Auditorium
Monday night, April 81. He ID being
brought here by George B. Kemp, for
merly Of Kentucky, but now of this
city.
His lecture will recount the stirring
times in that state Of fifteen years ago,
when Governor Taylor was claimed
elected governor on the face of the re
turns, by a majority of 5000, as the
Republican candidate, and whose
claims were sustained by the state
supreme court, whose members were
Democrats, but who was ousted by q
party vote in the legislature, which
seated Goebel, the Democrat candi
date.
In the conflict of authority, and the
simtaneous reigning Of two governors
the militia was brought into service
the shooting of Goebel by man Of
the name Of Youtsey, now serving Z
life term for the crime in the Frank
fort penitentiary. Powers, after sew
eral trials, was sentenced to life i'm
prisonment, but was pardoned by thu
first Republican governor elected.
As, he was a central figure in thii
stirring political drama, his recital o
the happenings, and descriptions o
his own feelings, will doubtless result
in bringing a good crowd to the Audi
orium that night.

Stogie Makers Social
Was Striking Success

Perhaps the most striking success
full of any meeting of the kind ever
held in Wheeling was that of Garfield
Local OF the Stogie Makers last Fri
day night in the Market Auditorium.
The hall was filed with more than
5000 people, and there was never q
lasor meeting in Wheeling before at
which the fair sex turned out In such
large proportions.
Albert Wheeler made a perfect
chairman. In his remarks at the open
ing of the meeting, in his Introduction
of each speaker, and in his closing, he
was brief and concise, stating every
thing in the fewest possible words, and
to the greatest possible effect.
=, The Speakers.
The first speaker was Thomas Gill
igap, who, as president Of the Ohio
Valley Trades and Labor Assembly,
welcomed those in attendance, the
next Leo ]. LaFlam, chairman OF the
Organization Campaign Committee,
who explained the aims and objects
of the campaign now on, the next
Fred W. Sonderman, who gave a brief
history of the National Stogte Makers
League and its accomplishments, next
Charles ]. Higgins, chairman of 1the
Union Label Committee, who gave the
reasons for the purchasing of label
goods, next Walter B. Hilton, who ex-
planned the making of Public Opinion,
and last Harry lP. Corcoran, who talk
ed upon the PHILOSOPHY and Ideals
of the Trade Union Movement" The

themselves to their allotted time, so
that the speaking program did not en-
creach upon the dance that followed.

MARYLAND WINS

Baltimore, April 23.-'"That Mr.
Hammond got his bill through under
the circumstances is little short of a
political miracle and he would have
failed had he not been able to rally
the support Of organized labor" saws
the Evening News, of this city, in an
nounclng the passage of the Hammond
WorKmens compensation act by both
branches OF the State Legislature.
Un1onists and their sympathizers de-
clare it is the most important, piece
OF legislation affecting labor ever pas
sed by the Maryland State Assembly.
It's passage was made extremely diff
cult because of other legislation, which
developed much feeling among the
legislators and but for the finest of
generalship in judging the exact time
when the compensation act should be
urged, the efforts of the workers
would have been futile. The central
body of this city was especially ac-
tive IN favor of the bill, and was the
dominant factor behind Senator Ham
mond. Much credit is given James
II. Sullivan, chairman of the legisla.
tive committee Of the local federation
OF labor for his constant attention to
this proposal, which ends twenty
years struggle. Gov. Goldsborough
has promised to sign the bill. The
spirit of the measure is shown in this
portion Of the preamble: "The com
mon law system governing the remedy
OF workmen against employers for in
1uries received in extra hazardous
work is inconsistent with modern in
dustrial conditions, therefore the
State of Maryland, exercising herein
its police and sovereign power, de-
clares that all phases of extra hazar-
dous employments be, and they are
hereby withdrawn from private con
ltroversy, and sure and cerain relief
for workmen injured in extra hazar.
ldous employments and their families
and dependents are hereby provided
for, regardless Of questions of gault
and to the exclusion of every other
remedy, except as provided in this
fact."
For permanent disability benefits to
the amount Of $1,000 may be paid and
for temporary injuries the amount OF
benefits shall not exceed $3.50.

Unfair
And LaWbreakers
Rush Run, Ohio, April 10th, 1914
Editor of Wheeling Majority:

Rush Run, Ohio, April goth, 1914
Editor of Wheeling Majority:
1t has become very common not to
see in-the Daily Press of Wheeling,
where some miners of Eastern Ohio
are on strike "in violation of contract. ;
This lockout stunt Of the Ohio opera.
tor has saved the Wheeling daily pa
pers Of printing this falsehood, for
the past three or four weeks.
Now, Mr.. Editor, it is very plain to
be seen who has been responsible for
the local strikes in Eastern Ohio.
In the year 1908 the legislature of
Ohio passed law, reading that when
in the opinion Of the mining depart
ment copper needle and a emper
should be used. (And by he way it
became the opinion fthe mining de-
parment that they would have to be
used.)
Those copper needles and hampers
costs the miners two dollars more.
Notwithstanding the fact that he
had at the time on iron needle and
tamper, that would answer the purpose
as well as the copper ones would
He was told by the different dis
trict inspector, and by mine superin-
tendents and foremen, that he would
have to purchase those copper tools
or he would not be allowed to work.
SO to be law abiding citizen and to
be allowed to work, he spent money
for those tools that was needed by
his familyq.
Now at the extraordinary session of
the Ohio legislature, there was pass
ed bill, providing that all coal mines
in the State would have to be paid Tor
on a Run Of Mine basis.
Mr.. Operator does not say will pay
the. miners on run of mine basis.
And by so doing, obey the laws of the
State, but instead he closes down his
mine, locks out the miners and says
that the law must be declared uncoE-
stitutional or he will not operate his
mines.
Now, Mr.. Editor, If the coal opera
tors Of Ohio will not abide by the laws
passed by his own legislature it is
very readily seen that he will not live
up to the contract made with the min
ers, only the parts that are suited
to him.
In my opinion the public should be
able to place the responsibility for the
strikes very easily.
will try to tell you in my next let
ter about our Andrew Carnegie NO. 2.
Yours truly,
FRANK WOODY.

have been circulating petitions for the
past several months to initiate a law
at the general election next Sep

by all right-thinking citizens that the
position Of the unionists is correct,
and that the state Is badly in need
