STATE COSSACKS
Ride Horses Into Hall

Ride Horses Into Hall
Pittshurg, Pa.-State cossacks at
Donorn, steel town 20 miles from
this city rode their horses into the hall
aisle of the small room where the ter
of striking steel workers and down the
rified workers were assembled. Near
ly 100 strikers were arrested and each
man was held in $500 bail The strik-
ers we've charged with conspiracy and
intimidating men from working in the
mills.
Mill managers in Donora have al
most exhausted their ingenuity in an
attempt to break this strike, and the
use Of cossacks to ride into the hall
of the unionists indicates to what
lengths they will go.

mand from passenger car and truck operators
continues to outstrip production.
Additional equipment already ordered for Plant No. g.

manufacturing unit to $1,000 tires day. while in thepa
rent plant increased equipment for the manufacture of
Cords is steadily building the output to it's capacity of
10000 tires daily which will give total capacity of &c.

For the Good of
 The Community

ton programme for the year 1913 lfl- cludes about 35 miles of highway and an expenditure of approximately S600,000. Of this expense the county will stand one half and the federal government the other half.
 The highways will be built under the supervision of the county engineer, the state highway engineer and an engineer in the roads department of the federal government.
 The highways to be constructed under this programme will be the best that it is possible to build, with materials certified by competent engineers and road experts as the best known for that purpose
 We are going to build roads that will last an indefinite period" President Jerry w. Gwin of the Jefferson county board of revenue states.
 Mr. Gwin says plans are now being worked out that will enable the actual construction work to begin about July 1, which will give at least five months of good weather, in which it is hoped all of the highways covered in the present pro- gramme can be built.
 President GWin states that he and his associates on the board of revenue and the county engineer are working on plans for county highway bond issue. Maps of the roads to be included in the bond issue pro gramme are now being made and these will be finished at an early date.
 We have tentatively agreed upon the roads to be constructed of permanent ma- terials during the present year," said President Gwin, "but until we are pre- pared to advertise for offers to build them we do not feel justified in making a posi- tive statement as to what roads are in- cluded"
 President Gwin states that he has re- quested State Highway Engineer w. s. Keller and Federal Highway Engineer J.
  T. Bullen, the latter stationed at Mont gomery and having supervision of the southeastern states, to come to Birming- ham to look over the programme and pass upon the roads, the materials and the plan of construction, and he expects them here within a few days
 Before the federal government will all low any of it's appropriation expended on the roads it's engineer must approve The act authorizing federal aid for state high ways provides that they must be of hard and lasting materials and built with the view to permancy. The state must also ar range for the upkeep of the roads after they are built. The federal government stands no part of this expense.
 The roads to be built under the 1919 programme President Gwin states will be twenty feet wide, and when completed
