WOOLEN MILL TO
Be MADE LARGER
Ba1nesville Plant to Have
Double Capacity
Eventually.

\ Gus Mack, general manager OF the
BarnsvIlle Manufacturing company
gave little talk about that plant al
: today's meeting Of the Rotary club In
which he announced that plans for
increases which will double the ca
paclty have been made and will be
carried out as soon as the manufac-
turers of the required machinery can
fill the orders. At present these ma
chinery makers are busy shipping ma
chinery to Europe to take the place
Of that which the Germans destroyed.
Mr.. Mack's talk, which was histori-
cal as well as technical, proved to be
very interesting, for the spot on which
the plant stands was used as grIst
mill before Fairmont was settled, and
at present 1t Is one Of the most COM
plete industries in the valley inasmuch
as 1t embraces all the different pro-
cesses of preparing woolen textileA
from the raw wool to the finished ma
terial.
President Hartley today announced
the appointment Of a committee on the
relations of employers and employees,
an action which was taken at the re.
quest Of International Rotary head
quarters. Ralph Dollison, OF the Fair
mont Box company, is chairman OF the
committee and the other members are
John Eisner, Dave Tappan, John Guy
Prichard and Daniel Maurer.
Upon the motion OF Henry Lively
Bob Miller was Instructed
to send telegram to J. M. Hartley, \
who Is in Baltimore hospital, convey
ing to him the affection and best wish
es of his fellow club members.

! NEW YORK, Dec. "A method by
which labor may acquire an interest
in the business to which it gives its
efforts federal regulation OF industry
as opposed to government ownership
and system OF taxation which will
not kill business iniative were named
among the national planks of the Re-
publican party last night in an ad-
dress by Wil H. Hays, chairman of
the National Republican committee.
Mr.. Hays spoke at banquet given by
the Republican women's executive
committee OF New York state to him
and to Mrs. John Glover South, chair
man of the women's division Of the
national committee.
Mr.. Hays opened his address with an
assurance that the Republican party
proposes to recognize the women vot-
ers as on an equality in every respect
with their men colleagues and en-
titled to a proportionate share in the
control and direction of the party. He
declared that the Republican party
stood for full political self determina-
ton and held to no hard and fast set
Of rules. Turning to reconstruction
problems he dealt first with business
which he said must be treated with |
IS appreciation Of its fundamental
Importance, and not as demagogue's
shuttle cock"
THE business men of the country"
continued Mr.. Hays, "are entitled to
very consideration, including the
light to run their Vwn business. Taxes
which kill initiative must not be
evied."
In regard to labor Mr.. Hays declared
hat the economic situation was simply
matter Of Roosevelt's square deal."i
To that end" he said, I'VE must de-
elop a reasonable method for honest
nd efficient labor to acquire an In {
crest in the business to which labor I
J expected to give Its best efforts. /
ending this development an equili- i
rum between production and wages {
lust be established"
In concluding his remarks the Re-
lblican chairman claimed that the i
,cent special session OF congress Eld "
wed the nation nearly billion dol
Es, and that this alone would war !

ctory next year" =

LANSING TO ADVISE SENATE ON MEXICAN AFFAIR
MINERS Returning
TO WORK IN REGION
Some Misunderstood Reso-
luton Passed at Sub
Dist. Convention.

Miners all over the Fairmont regiol
are needing the advice of the conYen
ton of sub district and the officer
of the United Mine Workers of Amer.
lea to return to work at once.
H. E. Peters, president OF sub dis.
trict a. prior to leaving for Grafton to.
day issued the following statement:
"The resolution which was
adopted in the special convention
held in Fairmont, Tuesday, De-
cember 2, 1919, has been miscon-
strued, and statements have been
made in the press that the miners
have accepted the fourteen per
cent. "a pct.). This is a grave
mistake. 1t is clearly specified in
the resolution that the men protest
against the fourteen per cent, but
are endeavoring to keep the mines
in operation in obedience to the
United States government. In re-
turn to which they are requesting
the government to make a speedy
adjustment OF the dispute, and to
permit an increase which will per-
NIT them to enjoy an American
standard Of living"
At Grafton today a special conven-
ion of sub district 3, district II, Uni
ed Mine Workers, is being held at
irafton. Miners from the Tunnelton,
and Grafton fields are in
tendance. H. T. Peters, president OF
ub district 4, accompanied C. F.
leeney, Charleston, president of dis
rict II, United Mine Workers, to
Frafton. Both will address the con
ention. The men will act upon re-
lrning to work.
Miners will meet at Monongah on

dent Wilson'S cabinet offered an in

cate that there are but so mines down
on the Monongah division of the Bal
ttmore and Ohio railroad, while the
mines along the Monongahela Rail
way are working fully 80 per cent.
Mines along the Morgantown and
Ktngwood railroad wer working one
hundred per cent today. Reports in
dlcate taht the mines along the Coal
and Coke today were all at work.
There are but three mines along
The Western Maryland railroad in the
Elkins district that are down today.
Practically all Of the larger mines
Of the Fairmont region are working
today, with the exception Of the Con-
solidation Coal comapny's Monongahl
mines. The mine Of the New Eng

three of their four mines at work.
Coal mining operations in the
Clarksburg fields were reported to be
fine today. In the Flemington fields
many Of the mines are not working
because Of United Mine Workers
convention in Grafton today. In the 7
Fairmont section the production will =
run real heavy, while in the Morgan i
town fields conditions are greatly i'm :,
proved. AT points along the Monon- Il

'ni1~ OF Rugged Hard HitteYS to Battle Thursday

Colonel Jacob Rupert and Colonel
T. L. Huston of the New York club
attended the examination of John
son.
Control of the American league
is said to depend on the result of
JOhnson's trial, and the hearing
was regarded as the opening gun
in the battle for supremacy be-
tween club owners and Johnson,
who testified that he has been head
of the league for Is years.
Johnson was asked more than
100 questions touching on his
knowledge of Mays conduct while
with the Boston club and the action
Johnson took regarding it. His
first knowledge of Mays "desertion
of the Boston club" was a verbal
report by the umpire. he said. He
said that he waited for the Boston
club to suspend Mays. 'as primary
Jurisdiction was vested in the local
club" but stated that he had no
intention at that time of suspend
ing Mays if Boston did not do so.

All Guilty Of Pulling Costly
Errors i'm Judgment.

Pittsburgh, Sept. 5.-One battery
slip, a wild heave, and another err
ror of judgment cost the Cubs the
opening battle OF their three-piece
series with the Pirates, 4 to 3.
after 10 innings of strenuous en-
deavor. But for these breaks
Mitchell's champions should have
registered a victory over the an
cient Babe Adams in nine regula-
ton rounds instead of suffering a
fourth mauling.
Tom DAILY. Charlie Hollocher,
and Davey Robertson were the
offenders in the Bruin lineup, the
mistakes committed by this trio
accounting for all four runs
rung up by the Corsairs. Days
blunder was a passed ball, good
for one tally, Hollocher's. low
heaYe paved the way for two more
markers after the Cubs had gained
a two run lead, and Robertson's
faux pas was a repetition of his
poor Judgment of a liner in the
opening session of Wednesday
contest at Chicago.
