Banks Consolidate

The two banks at Whitesbure
consolidated last Monday, the Union
Bank going into liquidation. and
the First National Bank OF Whites
burg taking over all of its assets
liabilities and accounts. Judge J.
p. Lewis, who has been identified
with banking interests in Letcher
County for number of years, now
retires from active participation, and
vii! dcvotc his attention for time
to pushing his candidacy for Secre-
tary of State on the Republican
ticket.
The new arrangement seems TO
have met with general approx
al throughout Letcher County,
and makes in the First National
an exceptionally strong banking
institution with assets amount
ing TO well over $3OO.OOO.OO. One
Of the chief sources of strength
TO the First National since il was
organized about two years ago has
been very active and effici-
ent Board OF Directors who live
in all parts of the County, and
that combined with economical
and prompt management has
brought the bank forward rapidly.

IN OUR OWN STATE
Central Power Plant For Hazard

All plans have been consumated
and actual work has been begun on
one Of the largest power PROPOSE
tions in this srction of the country.
This company will furnish power
TO coal companies and other indus
tries in this section, and will be a
very important factor in the i'm
mediate future development of this
territory. 10 will mean, we under
stand, an expenditure in and around
Hazard Of more than one-quarter OF
a million dollars. The company is
being financed by Col. Edward
O'Toole, and Howard N. Eavenson,
well known coal and power operators
Of Gary, W. Va, in connection
with prominent Baltimore capital
lists.
The company has taken over the
East Tennessee Coal Company's
power plant, in which will be in
stalled an additional unit. This in
stallation will furnish power TO the
operators during the period OF de-
velopment and construction of the
large central power station and
transmission system.
The large main central station will
he Of reinforced concrete and steel
construction, with equipment con-
sisting OF turbo generator unit, run
ming condensing automatic stokers,
and ash handling equipment,
etc, and will represent the latest
and most approved practice in cleo
trical construction.
The Company will build trans
mission line from the plant of the
East Tennessee Coal Company, run
ming through Hazard TO First Greek.
Several routes for this line have
already been located, survey Of
which was begun Monday. IL is
the intention TO construct the main
trunk line straight through the
heart Of the coal fields, with branch
lines running TO the various coal op-
erations. This line will consist OF
30 foot white chestnut poles, with
galvanized steel cross arms, and
will be in every way consistent with
the modern construction OF the
power plant.
The management is considering
several locations for the central
power plant, the exact location OF
which will be decided upon in the
immediate future, and our Board
Of Trade and business men should
see to it that the final location is in
Hazard.

West End Bars Painters to Gu

lBy Cable 10 The Tribune. ]

London, April l4.-Although every
indication points to the practical aban-
donment of the London social season,
nevertheless it is believed that the
number OF we'll known Americans will
not be less this year than in former
years. Fashionable hotels, like the
Ritz and the Berkeley, already have
well known society people staying as
their guests, among them Anthony
Drexel. Mrs. Harry Marsh, B. B. Van
Voores and Mr.. and Mrs. II. &. Wiley.
While in both cases the advance
bookings are almost normal, both man
agements state they expect the usual
number OF visitors with family or
social connections. although the ordi-
nary holiday makers will be absent.
This view was confirmed by the Savoy
and Carlton hotels.

Miss Slpart. asserts that HefarnlerS favor the cdnnP
bill because it means added profit to them.

"We had worked so hard TO get the
sixty-hour law passed in order 70 go
on to more helpful legislation" Miss
Swartz resumed. 1--WE had planned to
work for minimum wage law for
women this year, and now We shall
have all we can do to just hold our
own. The law already in force made
an exception in favor Of Gamers. Dur
ing the pea season women were allowed
to work sixty-six hours a week. The
Commissioner of Labor found that 80
pcr cent of the canneries in the state
were obeying this law. This proves
that there is nothing but rapaclous
greed back of the contention of the
Bewley Thompson bill advocates that
the Gamers couldn't get along with
this number of hours. And those can
ners who have constantly disobeyed the
law are the ones who are lobbying
for the present bill. | would see them
every day talking to the Legislators
and persuadng them to vote for the
bill"
Some Of the men who voted for the
bill were voting contrary to the
wishes Of their constituents and their
own belief, Miss Swartz found out.
"They had promised Bewley and
Thompson to vote for the bill if they
in turn would vote for some bill these
members were backing ! suppose this
trading of votes is legitimate, but it
certainly is hard on our working
women and children. can't see how
men can justify going against the die
tates Of their conscience in matter
like this which involves the welfare of
thousands Of human beings

So for week the sick girl and her

Had there been an emergency lady

Follows close upon this possibility a
letter from another woman, who tells
how she and friend have secured for
themselves d summer home on the
Maine coast. The writer is a school
teacher, SO frail physically that her
vacations must be devoted to gaining
enough strength 10 meet the coming
winters demands. And the friend, who
has a dimnutive income, but is not a
wage Garner, is also far from strong.
SO they welcomed eagerly the sugges-
ton made several years ago by third
woman, who owned a bungalow in
Maine. that they rent one of her rooms
for the summer, take their dinners at
the hotel and get their other meals for
themselves in her kitchen.
The experiment turned out so well

ferred to work seventy-two hours.
The idea of their saying those poor
women preferred TO work in those wet,

to live on they would see how many of
them would like to spend those two

to the Governor.

6NHERE appeared recently IN a well
known household magazine one
of those popular official
articles that deal with feminine
economic problems, which was some
thing in this wise. A young WIDOW
with a child TO support, found the way
in the big apartment house, where she
had spent her married life, by becom-
ing an emergency lady for the
other tenants. For a consideration
she was substitute mother TO babies
whose actual parents were shopping,
calling, etc. She provided simple
luncheons when they were needed and
gradually made herself invaluable to
her neighbors by her readiness to be
called upon in and out of season for
services not within the scope OF the
ordinary hireling.
The writer was, perhaps, more pleas
ing than convincing, and it is probable
that one reader at least would have
thought the idea more Ctopian than
practical, if circumstances, that very
day, had not taken her to call upon an
ACQUAINTANCE lately come from dis
tant city.
Where Emergency Ladies Could Help.

and baby, was living in an apartment

THE Investigators have told us all
about the upstate canneries.
They have told US about the rex
ETY. old buildings that house TINS
industry. about the sloppy, wet noors
and the soggy atmosphere. They have
told US, too, about the women worKerS'
the mothers, who after their long
drudgery in the factory must WORK NJ
night for their families, and the Adde'S
cent girls who must stand all day WIN
wet feet. their sense numbed by the
eternal whir Of machinery. And they
have told us of little children who WORK
in the tumble-down sheds outside the
factory, their baby fingers snlpplng
endless gallons of beans or shelling
endless bushels Of peas. All this nave
the Investigators told us.
And now Miss Nellie Swartz IS ready
to tell how in the face of all this IN
formation the Bewley-Thompson bill,
allowing women and children to work
seventy-two hours a week in the can
neries, came to pass the Assembly and
the Senate. Miss Swartz, an alert young
college woman, who is executive sec
rotary Of the Consumers League OF
New York City. was sent to Albany to
work against the bill and in the IN
terests of humanity. She talked with
Mr.. Beyley and Mr.. Thompson, as well
as many others Of the upstate legis-
lators, and this is the story she brings
back from the inside.
Gamers Responsible for Bill.
In the first place, the bill is fathered
bv the Gamers she declared. She had
lust made flying trip from Albany and
was sitting in her Office at 6 East S9th
street. "Mv. Bewley is the owner OF
canning factory, and Mr.. Thompson is
the attorney for several canning facto-
ries. The bill could never have reached
the Governor if it had not been
fathered by a Gamer in the Assembly
and u Gamer in the Senate.
Even with this influence 1t would
not have passed but for the fact that
