RAIL UNION HEADS
STAND BY DEMANDS
Heads Of Brotherhoods at
Meeting With Mediators Re.
fuse to Make Concessions.
MR.. HANGER Is HOPEFUL

New York, Aug. l0.-The United
States board of mediation and con-
ciliation held Its first conference to-
day with the representatives of the
four railroad brotherhoods of en-
ployes In Its efforts to prevent,
through mediation, a countrywide
strike to enforce the employees de-
mand for All eight-hour basic day and
time and half for overtime.
Nothing was officially disclosed as
to the success the mediators met, but
it was learned on good authority that
the brotherhoods had shown no dis
position to modify their demands.
THE status is unchanged" was the
only comment which A. B. Garretson,
head of the Conductors brotherhood,
was willing to make after the confer
ence adjourned.
"We have only scratched the sur
face" said G. w. w. Hanger, one Of
the three members of the mediation
board, "the situation may be cleared
up within twenty-four hours and then
negotiations may continue for a
week."
The mediators arranged for a Sec
ond conference with the railroad
managers this afternoon and to meet
the brotherhood representatives again
tomorrow morning.
Union Delegates at Meeting.
Today's meeting with the men was
held in a down town assembly hall
and was attended not only by the
chiefs of the four brotherhoods-the
employees official spokesmen-but by
the 900 delegates OF the unions who
are here. 1t lasted less than one
hour. Outsiders were barred.
1t was assumed that the mediators,
as was the case at the first conference
yesterday with the railroad managers,
sought to learn from the men how far
they were willing to go in making
concessions which would bring both
sides to common ground as basis of
settlement.
Brotherhoods Stand Firm.
The brotherhood chiefs told them,
however, it was learned, that they
were still firm for their demands as
originally presented to the railroads.
While expressing their appreciation
of the efforts of the mediators, il, was
said that they informed them that
they saw little chance of reaching a
satisfactory adjustment.
The mediators, however, it was said,
did not contemplate that the men
would offer concessions at today's
meeting. Most Of the meeting was
devoted by Mr.. Garretson to a de-
tailed explanation of the brother
hoods demands, upon which he made
it clear, it was understood, that they
stood firm.

TOWNSEND BACKS
THE STATEMENT
MADE BY HUGHES
Senator Takes Issue With Red
field, Asserting That Durand
Was Removed and for
Political Reasons.
VACANCY WAS DESIRED
Believes Country Should Know
Facts Of Inefficient Man
Going Into Place.
UNFAIR TELEGRAMs SENT

Washington, Aug. 10.-Serator
Townsend, republican, of the nsus
committee, made a statement in the
senate today supporting the declara-
tions of Charles E. Hughes that E.
Dana Durand, former director of the
census, was .emoved from Office to
make 7acancy for political reasons
and taking issue with Secretary Red
fields rejoinder that Mr.. Durand re-
tired voluntarily.
"The secretary of commerce says
Mr.. Durand resigned" said Senator
Townsend. That is not correct.
The fact is that Secretary Redfeld
called on Durand in April and stated
that he desired his positlon. Durand
replied that much important work
was in progress and that he ought to
be allowed to finish it. The next
day Mr. Harris (William J. Harris)
nomination was sent to the senate,
and the next day it was announced
that Mr.. + urand had resigned"
Senator Townsend said he had ex-
planned the facts to the census COM
mittee and delayed the confirmation
of H; -ris.
Well To Know.
. II believe it is well tor the country
to know the facts" continued Sena-
tor Townsend. "Mr. Durand was
practically removed. He resigned
under pressure after he had stated he
ought to remain until the census re-
ports were completed. The kilograms
sent out by Secretary Redhelc abso-
lutely were unfaithful to the facts.
Mr.. Harris was appointed f polit-
ical reasons and his name sent in
after Mr.. Durand was forced out of
Office"
Senator Smith, democrat, Of
Georgia, said he desired to congrat-
ulate the other side in that they have
at last found an issue. My criticisms
of the president and secretary of COM
merce in this matter" Senator Smith
continued, n".is.. that they did not re-
move Mr.. Durand frankly and openly
from office. He was inefficient as an
executive officer. There was waste
of money, duplication of work and
carelessness Of management in his
administration. He was man ut
terly without executive capacity of
the kind needed in director of the
census"
Durand Not Issue.
Senators Stone and Hardwick re-
torted that the republicans seemed
pleased at having found an issue. Mr..
Harris is now a member of the Fed
eral Trade commission.
Senator Penrose said that Durand
was not the issue.
"The issue here" he said, "is that
the secretary of commerce deliber-
ately and publicly stated that Durand
was not removed, and it later turns
out that he was removed and the Sec
retaty OF commerce, to put it mildly,
is detected in deliberately misrep-
resenting the facts to the American
people. | am not a fanatical civil
service reformer myself, but l abhor
the hypocrisy which characterizes
this whole transaction"

GOOD ROADS
Observation No. IL
(By Clttzen)

1t is true large number of farm
ers who resides on Brushy Fork op'
posed the bond issue for the reason
that the road was not built to the
Barbour county line and reported
that what was to be built would be
only eight feet; but the real defeat
did not come from the hands Of the
farmer, but from the officers Of the
Grasselli Chemical Company, situate
at Grasselli in Simpson district, The
gentlemen in charge Of the plant
and resident Of GrasseIli, favored the
bond issue and the building Of good
roads, for the reason that 1t gave
to Grasselll, permanent roads lead
ing through the town east and west
and also leading from the town of
Grassellt to Bridgeport, making all
of the roads in the village Of Gras-
selII permanent improved roads.
Everything was going along nicely
until on Saturday prior to the cleo
ton which was held on Tuesday,
June 20. The opposition as stated
by one OF the high officers who resides
in Grasselll, came from the gentle
man who own the plant and reside
in the state OF Ohio. These Ohio
gentlemen notified their officers at
Grasselll to oppose the bond issue
for the reason that they we're paying
all Of the taxes in Harrison county
that they thought they were able to
pay and did not care to be burdened
any further. This was such shock
or revelation to the writer that he
Immediately proceeded to the office
Of the assessor OF Harrison county
to ascertain the amount Of the prop
erty assessed to the Grasselli Chemi-
cal Company In said district, and
found that In 1915 the real estate
was assessed at the small sum of
$111,OOO and that upon examining
the returns for the year 1916 found
that the Grasselli Chemical Com
pany has raised their real estate val
uation upon their own returns, in
round figures of $4,000 making a
total assessment of the real estate
of $4,000 and the writer charges
that the plant is easily worth more
than $4,000 900 and purchasers for
the same at that price can be had at
any day.
We inquire II 1t is fair to the cltl-
zens of Slpmson district that great
corporation, declaring the enormous
dividends that 1t has in the past
year, and after the people Of Harri-
son county have given to them the
very real estate upon which said
plant is located without the cost OF
a dollar, and yet they are accumu-
lating thousands upon thousands and
tens Of thousands upon tens Of thous-
ands OF dollars Of net profit each
year and yet those men who reside
out Of the state dictate to their en-
ployees here. saying that they should

oppose a bond issue for permanent
roads for the reason that the Gras'
SELL Chemical Company pays all OF
the taxes that they can afford to pay
1t seems that no one has paid any
attention to tho fact that the Gras'
sell Chemical Company has had its
property upon the land books in this
county at such a very small per cent
of its true and actual value and II
had not been inquired into by any
one in interest but since the honor
able gentlemen whose bank accounts
are swollen by the enormous net pro-
fits from month to month and year
to year by their plant so fortunately
situated have objected to the build
ing of roads for the improvement Of
their own immediate town and the
district Of Simpson, 1t seems to the
writer that it is high time that the
public was informed upon this mat
ter and that some steps should be
taken to require this corporation to
come along and share its true burden
with other taxpayers in Harrison
county and Simpson district.
There is also an interesting story
which may be made public as to why
the Grasselli Chemical Company is
now in Simpson district instead of IN
Clark as it formerly was. The writ
err asks II 1t is fair that plant, that
is worth from six to ten times the
value that it is assessed at, should
remain upon the land books in this
way and that these rich stockholders
who reside in an adjoining state
should be permitted to go free and
not pay their just proportion of the
taxes. Anyone who is interested in
the matter can easily verify the
statements of the writer by going
to the assessors Office in Harrison
county and examine the records.
The one hundred and thirty-seVen
thousands dollars ($137,OOO) above
mentioned is the valuation of the
real estate and there is certain per
sonal property, assessed in 1915 at
$4,000 which added to the real es-
tate makes the entire plant amount
to the sumo of $1O6,OO0. AS was said
in the beginning Of this article, the
men in charge of the local plant were
for the bond issue until Saturday be-
fore the election, and had they re-
NAMED neutral and not having made
such an effort as they did to vote
against the bond issue the same
would have easily carried for the
reason that 1t lost by very small
number, to-wit, only eight votes.
The writer would like to see the
Grasselli Chemical Company assess
ed at its true and actual value and
with this increase In wealth and tax
able property in Simpson district, we
could easily have a bond issue for
two hundred and fifty or two hun
bred and seventy-fve thousand dol
lars, which would be ample to build
all Of the important roads in the dis
trict.

The one question discussed by the
people generally today, more than
any other, excepting war, is the
question Of good roads.
Many citizens Of Harrison coun-
ty and especially the residents OF
Clarksburg and Simpson district,
we're very greatly disappointed in
the recent bond issue which cleo
ton was directed to be held in slmp-
son district a few days ago and which
resulted in the defeat of the bond

ties in interest, why the bond issue
lost, when it was so much needed,

but in Simpson district and for the
benefit Of those in interest, the writ
