At TCLARKSBURG
Mining Institute Will
Tender 1t August
25

one,of the chief features OF the
meeting OF the Clarksburg Mining
Institute which was held in the Har
rison county court house at Clarks-
burg last night was the making of
arrangements for a banquet to be
rendered in honor of R. n. Lambie,
Charleston, head of the state depart
ment of Mines at Spring Mill, near
Clarksburg on Thursday evening,
August rs.
Mr.. Lambie will be in Clarksburg
on that date at which time state
examination for mine foremen and
fire bosses will be conducted. The
institute plans TO give a gathering
outdoors with Mr.. Lambie as the
gues OF honor on that date.
The report of the committee was
made by C. D. schlegel, chairman,
who told of the various places un-
der consideration and the final Sc
lection of Spring Hill which is
along the Weston car line Just out
side Of clarksburg. The banquet
will be of u high order and home
cooking will be the strong play Of
the event. The plates will be So.
The affair will be for the members
and their ladies. The mining men
and their guests will leave clarks-
burg at G:30 and the luncheon will
start at q o'clock. Between 15O
and 200 tickets will be issued for
he occasion.
Tie meeting last evening was prA
sided over by b. ?. Mcolvin, pres
ident Of the institute. The meeting
was fairly well attended despite. the
fact It was held In a summermonth'
Evans L. Griffiths, Cl6rksbtirg,
district mining inspector addressed
the meeting on the proceedings OF
the Mining Inspectors Institute Of
America, which was held in Charles
ton three days last week Some OF
the papers that were read and the
discussions which they ELECTED con-
tanned much Of value to the mining
men he declared
One of the most valuable Of them
was that Of R. H. Lambie, head OF
the state department OF mines on
Whether the Inter- Changeable
Mine Formen's Certificate is Ad-
visable?" Mr.. Lamble said that the
state of West Virginia has as ca
pable mining men as any other
state in the union, TO which the In
stitute readily agreed. His opin.
ion was that the time is not yet
ripe for the issuance OF interchang-
able certificates. This. he believed
is not advisable because Of the dIf-
ference in the mining laws and con
dttions that exist in other states
He contended that West Virginia
as a state was just beginning to
grow. It Is his belief that for every
foreman that left the state 10 or -
came in and that for every mine
opened In other states there are 0
or 10 opened in West Virginia. Mr..
Grifttths stated that Mr. Lambie
neld his points well while they were
under fire.
Another question that was dis
cussed with more than usual inter.
est was Should Approved electric
lights be introduced in all mines to
succeed the ordinary safety lamp 2"
MI. Grtffiths made tho point that II
electric lighs were used drivers,
orakemen on motors and trackmen
could use both hands instead OF
using t, one. He thought that the sub
stltutton might be made some day

THE SONS OF ITALY SEEK TO
INCULCATE AMERICAN

The following brief and compre-
hensiye sketch OF the Order Sons of
Italy has furnished The Reporter
by Leonard f. Piazza, who is in
charge Of the foreign department of
the Union Trust Co., North Main St.
1t has been the aim of the Italians
in this country to unite their va
rious fraternal organizations, scat
tered throughout the country into
one great organization, the funda-
mental priciples of which would
tend toward a better development of
the race, through education and
citizenship.
With this end in view there has
sprung up in this country through
the efforts of an active leadership,
the organization known throughout
the United States as The Order Sons
Of Italy. a fraternal and beneficial
order whose object is the highest
welfare of the Italians in this
country. Its scope is similar some
what to that of other fraternal
bodies. It is not a political or re-
ligious order, but is intended for
the advancement Of Italian thought,
teaching of American citizenship
betterment of social conditions and
the development of the idea of bro
therhod.

Nancy was particularly anxious to
