MORGAN POSTERS
|N'G00D.C0NDIT1ON
Lloyd Heffner Says This In
dicates Marion Man is
Running Strong.

Lloyd Heffner, the well known Bal
timors and Ohio railroad engineer, re.
turned this morning from a business
trip which took him to Wheeling and
Pittsburgh. He reports that interest
in the state and national political cam
painss is beginning to pick up andsays
that Morgan seems to, be leading for
governor on the Republican side.
One Of his reasons for saying this. is
the condition of the Morgan posters
in the mill towns OF the Panhandle.
Posters and pictures of all the Repub-
lican candidates are numerous In that
district and there is not blemish on
any OF those which bears the likeness
OF Morgan, while those put up in the
interest Of the other two candidates
are cut and mutilated in very many I'M
stances.
This, according to Mr.. Heffner, is
quite as significant in its way as was
the writing in of the name Of Hiram
johnson bysover $4,000 Illinois voters
at the recent primary election in that
state.

.C[EVE[AND.Q. TO
HAVE5,000 NEW
HOMES |N'B[OCK
Architects for Fairmont
Project Will Make the
Plans.

Dreher, Churchman, Paul and Ford,
architects, who have charge OF that
end of the great development work
going on in this region at the present
time. have just secured the contract
for a great development plan in
Cleveland, which involves. building
5000 houses of various types on q
5000 acre plot in the Cleveland sub
urbs, the total expenditure for which
will likely total several million dol
lars, one million of which has been
floated to date and plans are under
way for underwriting the remainder.
The period of construction will like
ly run about five years. One thous-
and of these houses will be under con-
struction just as soon as the plans
haye been completed and the others
as soon after as possible.
Mr.. Churchman and Mr.. Paul are
now in Cleveland and will be joined
there tomorrow by Mr.. Ford, when,
the proposition will be gone over in
detail.
Mr.. Ford when asked this morning
IL the firm would have headquarters
in Cleveland stated that a branch Of
flee would be established there much
like the one in the Professional build
ing in this city. He stated that the
firm would have offices in Fairmont
for the next two years at least. and
intimated that he might reside here
permanently. He also intimated that
Mr.. Paul might go to Cleveland.
The Fairmont work and the Cleve-
land proposition are only two OF sew
Big development propositions are
pending in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia,
and Baltimore with more in sight.
This aggressive aggregation was
one of the few firms to see the hand
writing on che wall as to industrial
housing work, and got out early to
secure the big contracts and have had
great success thus far,

LITTLE CHANGE IN
STRIKE SITUATION
Meeting Tomorrow at Con-

cal Conditions.

The strike situation here lis little
improved. Last night the switchmen
at Halloway went out and this will
tie up the shipment of coal to the
lakes. The strikers have not yet re-
turned at Parkersburg or Clarksburg
At Connellsville, Pa. there is to
be meeting Of the strikers on sun
day and 1t is reported that Fairmons
switchmen will attend. ONE fear Is
expressed that Fairmont yard men
will yet go out according to some re-
ports. The local yard men have had
several meetings and after each one
announced that they would remain
ut work. a meeting was held ct Con-
nellsYille yesterday, but the meeting
broke up when effort was made IL
Keep P. 81 4. b. sWa atchmen ont and
have only B. q 70. employees present
The trouble started when the outside
guard denied admittance to several
men not possessing union cards and
a man In the meeting asked that al
who. wanted to attend should be per-
mitted to do 80. After the discrim:
nation between B! q O, and p. q u.
e. men was made the ma ajority Of the
men left the hall. Ayote was to have
been taken as to the. ending Of the
strike. AS a result of the tie-up there
are $4,000 workers idle in the Con-
nellsville section, coke production
having ceased completely.
Late this afternoon the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad expected to have 4
right fair supply Of empties on the
Monongah division for Monday. These
empttes will come from the east. Ar
rangements were made today to move
200 loads off the NJ. r. branch OF the
B. & o. railroad. More coal moved
east and so cars to Wheeling term
inal and 80 for Lorain, which OF
course were tied up down the line
due to the strike at Galloway.
Effort will be made today to move
between 500 and 500 loads of coal east
