Cullen is touring the country in the
interests OF the hatters Of Philadelphia
and is urging the laboring men to in
sist on union labels. He stated that
he found conditions in this respect
very favorable in the tri-Cities. The
strike AZ the StetsOn plant began on
the morning of March l. when the
employees in the soft hat department
walked out in sympathy with a fell
low workman who had been dis
charged because of some trivial mat
ter. Il is claimed Mr.. Cullen stated
that since that time repeated nego-
tiations had been carried on with off
Cials Of the company without salts
factory results.
Mr.. Cullen also lambasted the
press numerically for refusing to
handle stories Of the strike. terming
this action the strangling of free
speech OF the laboring men He also
said that the union had been issuing
a paper Of its own in Philadelphia
since the strike began. because the
publications there suppressed stories
OF the strike.

Petersburg, April 24.-sThe board OF
supervisors of Prince George County
met yesterday to award the contract
for the construction of the PETERSBURG
Hopcwell and City Point highway al
cost of $4,000. which, according to
plans, la to be contributed-S2s.00
by the city of Petersburg. $4,000 by
the DUPONT Company ana $4,000 by
Prince George County.
There were two routes suggested at
the meeting. both of which would run
along the Norfolk and Western Rail-
road, one on the north side and the
other on the south. The Board passed
resolutions approving the southern
route, and recommended the accept
ance OF the bid of Austin. Bennett
Construction Company, provided that
Petersburg and Hopewell would give
an additional $4,000 on or before
May s.
Robert Gillian. Sr.. and p. H Drew
rs appeared in the interest of. the
property owners along the southern
route. and urged the construction of
the road along tina troute, saying il
would be of greater benefit
D. A. Harrison and j. Gordon Boz
harmon appeared for the northern
route, claiming that they represented
the owners OF property valued at ST.
500. 600.
Wanted All Bids Rejected.
These gentlemen wanted the board
to reject all bids they had received
and leave the construction OF the road
to the property owners along the
northern route. and presented a GER
titled check for $4,000 as was re-
quired of all bidders. They stated
that tho northern route property
owners would guarantee the construc-
tion of the road according to specifi-
cations at the cost already provided
and would bear any additional cost.
They also urged the northern route
on account Of 1t being a.so0 feet
shorter then the southern route.
According to Attorney Harrison.
State Highway Commissioner Cole
man has no preferences as to the route.
The northern route. he said, lis APP
proved by the Norfolk and Western
Railroad. and the acceptance of this
would do away with all grade cross-
;ngs. At ono point. he stated. the
northern route goes under the Norfolk
and Western Railroad tracks, sad the
company has agreed 10 build that
stretch of the road at their own en-
psnse. This would be about 1900
feet of the road.
