Yesterday Gompers denied charges
that the federation had failed to do its
full duty to aid the Michigan copper
strikers and that the head organization
is reactionary and controlled by booze
fighters" Duncan Mcdonald, secre.

Mr. Gompers declared that the
American Federation of Labor had
done and would do all in its power to
bring the copper strike to successful
termination except levy an assessment
and that was an impossibiIity. OF the
eleven members of the executive coun-
Gil Of the federation he asserted eight
did not use liquor at all. two were very
moderate drinkers and that he himself
took glass of beer only when the
days work was finished.
The federation president declared
that if any assessment were to be lev
led it would disrupt the organization
for the constitution provided that any
union failing to pay shall be expelled.
He said two-thirds Of the members of
the federation could not possibly pay
the assessment.

One County FIickers.

Simpson county last week vot-
ed down a proposition to sell
bonds to the amount of $780,
600, with which to build turn
pixies. This proves the unpro-
gressive spirit of this south Ken
lucky county. This county must
now lose It's proportion of the
State aid or let what enterpris-
ing people there are in the coun-
ty put up the cash from their
own pockets. The law requires
a two-thirds majority to carry a
bond issue and this provision is
why the measure failed to pass.
Powell county will not be like
Simpson when we vote on the
bonds We have waded the mud
too long and too deep to neglect
an opportunity to get turnpikes
when the State proposes to help
us. But there will be opposition

May Frost and Snow.

May IS, 1888, twenty.six years
ago, there was a big frost and
freeze which killed all the fruit,
and even killed the leaves from
the trees. Potatoes and corn
were bitten to the ground, but
they came u p.again and made as
good crops as if they had not been
injured.
On Sunday morning, May Goth,
1894, just twenty years ago,
there was six inches of snow on
the ground, which killed most
every thing planted and up, but
1t did not do the injury that the
frost SIX years before in May did.
1t caused wheat to lodge worse,
but other waysit was not so dam
aging. 1t did not kill all of the
leaves from the trees and a small
portion of the fruit escaped.
