BIC JOB GOING WELL.

CONSIDERING the kind of weather we have in
simont, is remarkable to say the least that Major
Boyle come here from New York and find work on
che construction of the new brass plant and the various
housing projects in such condition that he was able to
talk the way he did Saturday.
With less resourceful contractor than the Ley COM
anyt could have been done and whether the people
af Famont know it they owe debt of gratitude
to this energetic organization for the way they have kept
the wheels turning steadily and the work going ahead in
accordance with the schedule spite of weatehr transport
ston and other delays of that kind When the Ley peo-
pie came here they brought reputation for getting things
done that quite notable, but the men they sent here
10 carry the Famont job have added few laures to
an already good name.
Right here top of the big job it is hard to realize
what great progress has been made on it during weather
that has made lot of stay indoors part of the time
and cirta routine activities considerably Major Boyle
who it only intervals is in better position to judge
The progress that being made and it douby reassurng
therefore to have him say that the whole project is pro-
crossing very satisfactorily.
His statement regarding the date upon which the brass
mill will begin work also very reassung and satisfactory
and it ought to have the effect of encouraging Fairmont
citizens to hasten preparations for the coming of this i'm
portant factor in the business and social life of the
city.

Sam GOmpers may not be as radical as some other
labor leaders, but events have proved time after time
that when it comes to foresghtedness he has distinct
advantage any other labor leader of prominence
in this country. That fact lends considerable weight
to warning against the new United Labor political
party which Gompers recently wrote in letter to a
man in Indiana Gompers said: 1.-The effect of sepa-
rate political labor party only be disastrous to the
wage earners of our country and interests of all
forward looking people The votes that would 60 to
labor candidate would, in the absence of any such
candidate, to the best in the field In no case
would they go to enemy of labor" And that is a
pretty clear statement of the case as it applies to the
labor movement.

a delusion; if you don't believe
it, ask the man who during the
