new ANGLE TO The
LABORERS' STRIKE
Complications Arise With the Semi
Sympathetic Move of the
Hosting Engineers.
BUILDERS AND SUPPLY MEN MEET

The strike situation grows more and
more complicated
While here and there some Of the
building laborers have gone back to
work wherever they can get 80 cents
an hour, there is new complication
with the hosting engineers.
Some OF the hosting engineers have
gone out on a semi-sympathetic strike
Some Of them have expressed their
willingness 10 work, however with
nonunion laborers, but have indicated
that the signal men might cause
trouble, as they could not work with
nonunion labor, and that the engi-
neers cannot work without a signal
man.
Members Of the Builders exchange
and material supply men held meet
ing during the forenoon. but would
give out no statement II was indl-
Gated that some statement might be
forthcoming before long but this has
been said for week
Back on Ford Hospital Job.
A few days ago force Of laborers
resumed work at the Ford hospital,
the job being handled by the con-
tractors, Buck < Wind
The men got so cents an hour, il is
said, and were satisfied for time,
until they were asked to whet. brick
and mortar. Immediately Icy held
that this work, according 10 the scale
they were demanding, was worth
nickle an hour more
The demand was not met, so they
walked off the job again.
Yesterday, however, force went
back to work there
Chris Jensen, contractor who is
wreeking the building IN which the
World-Herald was formerly situated,
preparatory to building a moving pic
ture theater there, has force Of be-
tween ten and dozen men at work
For a time after the strike came on
he had very few men working, and
these he worked behind high board
fence. Now, however, he is working
this larger force openly and without
molestation.
Some men are working at the Black
stone hotel, but the contractors hold
that these men are doing largely land
scape gardening work in the court
and on the surrounding lawn space

Summers Denounced

For Infamous Letter
Which is Designed to Make
Politics Out of Situation Of

CHARLESTON, Aug. 2O-Govern-
or Fl. D. Hatfield has given out the
following signed statement denounc-
ing George Summers, OF Washington,

connection with the articles flood
victims are In, which articles are ap-
parently based on the desire to make
politics out OF the flood situation:
In this trying hour for 5000 or
5000 Of the states citizens l view
with alarm, disappointment and pity
the hungry vICiousness Of a. character
assassin in the guise of newspap-
er man writing for partisan political
purposes by one George Summers, OF
Washington, D. c., to seize upon the
misfortune Of our citlzenry in his
trade against me to do some ham
over the shoulder of the unfortunate
food sufferers In the Cabin Creek
and Coal River flood districts. This
attempt, though, Is only repitition
Of many other such efforts in the
past he In one instance being cOmpell-
cd to admit that he was a liar and
had conspired to do me great In
Justice by making false charges in
newspaper articles.
This last effort which he sends out
to the newspapers that print his
slanderous writIngs-wIthout, how
ever, the authors name being given
rs is required by LAWS the lowest
Of all because it tends to work an
Injustice to unfortunate men, women
and children numbering 5000 or
