Clarksburg Auto
Party in a Wreck

An Oakland touring car was almost
completely wrecked on the Morgan
town pike yesterday just below Rives-
vile. The car was occupied by sew
eral Clarksburgers whose names could
not be obtained. The occupants of
the car according to reports were all
Intoxicated and were driving very
recklessly.
Fortunately the car skidded into the
bank instead of over the high embank-
ment at that point, which would proba-
bly, have meant death to all. The car
ditched itself and struck Big stone
boulder.

dustrial ruin here.
There is on exhibition one nation
of 1870 millions Of people-one that
has resources greater than all other
nations except the United States-1

despair and absolute chaos. The civil
government has been broken down.
There has been substituted a type of
tyranny-mob rule-for the tyranny
OF the car. If it sweeps over the sur
rounding countries it will cast tre-
mendous strain upon America. 1t Is
the time for our patriotism as the false
doctrine is sweeping through the coun-
try, which adds to the present unrest.
There are thousands of men who eth
er openly or surreptitiously attack the
representative form of government
and say that it is old and has fallen
into decay and that its institutions
should be swept aside for the rule of
the proletarian class, initiating prac-
tices in Russia.
There are 200 periodicals, maya
zines and newspapers advocating this
same doctrine. A man here and there
is inoculated with its dangerous virus.
There are 100000 men in New York

CARNATIONS engaged extensively in
spreading propaganda. On my desk In

NO AGREEMENT REACHED

Washington, November 12.-Railroad
brotherhood chiefs spent another day in
conference with Director Hines on the
employees demands for changes in work
ing conditions without reaching any
agreement.
The brotherhood chiefs were said to
have worked out, in more detail, the
question on which there is disagree
ment, and to have presented this data
to the railroad administration officials
during the session, but no conclusion
was reached and none was in immediate
prospect when the conference adjourned
tonight.
Discussion, as at the initial conference
yesterday conferred about the demand
for time and a half for overtime in road
service. Railroad administration officials
are known to stand pretty generally
against the establishment of that prin-
cple as wage policy, while the broth
erhood heads were quite emphatic in
their declarations that such provisions
must be included in the revised working
conditions agreement
Inequality in wages of certain members
of the four crafts also has filtered into
the discussions. Some of these were
viewed from Director Hines recent in
structions to his wage adjustment
boards, are not expected to be granted.
Others, however, are looked upon by rail
officials as having merit and may tend
to increase the pay of some men as a
means of standardization of all wages.

Many of the delegates to Fridays meet
ing who were in attendance at the con-
ference here last week left tonight for
Washington. William Green, secretary
treasurer of the mine workers, will leave
early tomorrow morning, and Acting
President John l.. Lewis will start for
the conference tomorrow afternoon.
Miners officials today declined to COM
ment on the way in which the members
of the organization are responding to
their order calling off the strike, and
would give no reports from the district
headquarters. They said no Instructions
supplemental to their order had been sent
out from headquarters.
Very few of the miners in the Indiana
coal fields reported for work today and
it is not believed that operation in the
fields can be started extensively before
next week. Union men in the Evans
Vile district will meet tomorrow night to
vote on obeying the order recalling the
strike. From Terre Haute there was a
report that the miners in that district
were awaiting the results of the confer
ence in Washington before returning to
work A report from Bcknell called to
attention the omission from the order of
the mine workers officials of any in
structions to return to work. andN it was
said district leaders were refraining from
experimenting the general order in any
way.

it Immediately in order was adopted on
Monday, and on Tuesday morning at 10
o clock the bill was taken up for discus
sion with the announcement that night
sessions would be held until final vote
was secured.
Not a dozen members in the House
aside from the members in the commit
tee, had read the bill when the discus
sion opened. That statement win not he
questioned by any one.
80 far as the labor provisions of the
bill are concerned, they are more vicious,
because more subtle, than the labor pro-
visions in the Cummins bill
1.-THE Cummins bill brutally announces
what is in it's authors mind They want
to shackle labor and frankly say so.
THE men who framed the labor pro-
visions of the Esch bill have the same
object in view, but they seek to attain
it through maze of legal verbiage.
while these labor provisions cover
several pages of the bill, it is a significant
fact that not one representative of or
ganized labor was consulted in their prep
aration We are convinced that the same
hand that wrote the financial provisions,
giving Wall street everything it asked,
also drafted the labor clauses
This travesty on legislation reveals the
fundamental weakness of all schemes 70

The fact is that private ownership OF
