at his Joke that he could hardly speak
II am very stupid and do not know much
and have no wise friends.
Dicky Duck had newer heard of an
Eatyoup but he hsd no intention of
letting anyone think there Was anything
he did not know, So he swan nearer and
said: well ] am wise. and il YOU wish to
know anything ask me.
Come out where | can see you and
WE can talk 10 each other better. He WAS
irving ali the time to get glimpse OF the
new animal, but MIR Fox was a wise
creature himself and he had no intention
of beng seen.
oh dearl / should hate to show my
miserable little self To such brg. fine
looking creature as you are, be said.
at Is bad enough TO have you know lam
stupid, but if YOU viii come closer | viii
tell YOU " hat it is want TO know"
Dlcky Duck bv this time was very
brave. for what had he 10 fear from so
small creature as the Eatyoups So he
swan right up 10 the side of the pond and
out bounced Mr.. Fox and almost caught
him.
II Dickv had not used his wings a.
well as his feet he would not have es-
capped, but he was IN the middle On the
pond swimming for dear life blythe time MIR
/ Fox was N the water, and as the farm was
not far off Mr. Fox decided not 70 risk his
/ life
When Dicky Duck reached the barn
yard he told all the fowl about the strange
/ animal ne had seen, called an Eatvoup,
and that while he had a very weak vote
he was almost as large as big Rover, the
/ dog
OF course everyone thought Dicky
wiser than ever when he told tins, but
| for all that be WAS very careful not to SWIM
near the woods again, for, though he had
told the fowl he had seen an Eatyoup, ht
was pretty sure IN his own mind that he
had met Mr. Fox.

LABOR INTERESTED
IN STATE POLITICS
Parkersburg Convention To
Make Some History.

There will be big doings this week
in IAarkersburg; happenings which
will likely make history In labor cir
clase. says f. F. Meredith. the well
known newspaper correspondent.
The executive board of the West
Virginia State Federation of Labor
met at Charleston March 20 and by
unanimous vote called meeting for
Parkersburg April l at which the
policy OF the State Federation of La.
Dor regarding political matters would
be determined.
The meeting was deemed neces-
sary because OF two contending fac.
lions in labor circles, one of which
stood for the Gompers plan of endors
ing the candidates in either the Re
publican or Democratic parties that
had been favored a National Labor
Party organization in West Virginia.
The friends of the Gompers plan
had the backing OF the West Virginia
Labor News at Clarksburg. which is
openly out for Sam b. Montgomery
for the Republican nomination for
governor and the railroad organiza.
tons of the state (Which are not af-
filiated with the State Federation Of
Labor are also believed to have
Montgomery for governor and for
that reason 10 support the Gompers
plan.
The Wheeling Majority, edited by
Walter b. Hilton. is attempting to
dictate the policy OF labor and failed
to fall In line either with the plan
favored by the West Virginia Labor
News or the National Labor Party
plan, favored by the West Virginia
Federationist at Charleston, another
labor paper. edited by Frank w. Sny-
der.
The National Labor Party plan WAS
for organizations to be effected at
various points In West Virginia like
they were at Fairmont, also at Wen,
del and few other minor places, and
have these organizations form "A state
federation or organization. But this
procedure went ahead without taking
into consideration the strength OF
the United Mine Workers, which an.
tagonized Frank Keeney to such an
extent that he was able to kill the
proposition of making an organiza
tion In Charleston.
The meeting OF the executive
board of the State Federation OF
Labor followed this meeting and It
called state wide meeting Of un.
ions affiliated with that or9anixa-
ton at Parkersburg April ]. This
call does not include railroad men
who are not affiliated with the
State Federation OF Labor. The
Wheeling Majority insists on an
nouncing this meeting for April ;
and labor people feel that the error
Is not a mere accident but made on
purpose to get some delegates TO
Clarksburg after the state wide
meeting or else keep so many away
that satisfactory organization can
not be effected until the Panhandle
crowd comes.
The Clarksburg Labor News
states that resolution will be In.
troduced at the Parkersburg meet
Ing favoring Sal B. Montgomery for
governor and calls all true friends
of labor to support it. The State
Federation of Labor Is certain 10
consider such a resolution "out of
order" as the meeting at Parker
burg was called to discuss a pol
icy" in the coming campaign and
not for the purpose of endorsing
any particular candidate for any
office.
