ROAD WORK HERE
NOT DELAYED BY
RAILROAD WORK
Rapid Progress Being Made
on 1891, 900 Road Contract
in Union District.

The railroad strike is not inter-
ferinG with the progress of work
on the various Union District ROAD
proiects. Work on the new roads
is progressing rapidly to the COM
plete satisfaction of those so anXl-
Gus to see the $4,000 worth OF
good roads completed.
Work has been almost complete
ly suspended on most of the roads
in neighboring counties because OF
the inability of the contractors to
get materials, however, in most in
stances the grading has been COM
pleted, but no work at all can be
done until material is available.
In Union District, it will not be
necessary to have material for some
time to come. In most of the pro-
jects. there will be, much grading
required, and for the present the
contractors are going ahead with
the grading. By the time this swork
is completed they viii be able
to get their materials.
The Monongahe1a Construction
Co., which. has the contract for the
Hopewell road was the first OF
the contractors to begin work and
is showing the most progress. The
company is now devoting its atten-
ton to getting stone and grading
the road. Two carloads of Stag
were received yesterday and will
be ready for use when needed
In ,Morgantown avenue. where
! little grading is necessary, it will
be urgent to have materials imme.
diateiy. but it is understood that
! local material will be used and it
will not be necessary to depend
upon the railroad to bring the mate
rials any long distance. Work was
suspended in Morgantown avenue
today to permit the gas company
to work on their lines. Work on
the water lines is now about COM
pleted. Two carloads of cement
have been received for use in Nor
gantown avenue and will be ready
when needed. The F. +. Hallam
Co.. is the contractor for this job.
s Work on the Grafton road, for
which w. Fl. Armstrong has the
contract. is progressing rapidly. A.
Telford base of local stone will be
used so that the company can work
entirely independent OF the rail-
roads until work on the surface is
started.
N. NJ Lee. the contractor for the
Benton's Ferry road, will start
into his job Monday morning. The
first work will consist chiefly of
grading. 1t is the intention of the
contractors to start at Pleasant
Valley and come toward the city
| with the grading.

iff, killed on Blair Mountain dur
ing the troubles along the Logan

Young Gore detailed the condition
of his fathers body, who, he testi-
fled, had been a deputy sheriff for

A. M. Belcher, of counsel for the
state, outlined the prosecutions

He asked for a verdict of murder
in the first degree, saying he pro-
posed to produce Witnesses who
had conversed with WiIburn after
Gore was killed. The witnesses. he
said, would show Wilburn had
Cores rifle, and that when some
clared he would not part with 1t
for $4,000 as he wanted to keep 1t
for a souvenir. Attorneys. for the
defense listened intently to what
Mr.. Belcher had to say, and then
announced that they would reserve
their openink statement for later
day.
After Gore left the stand, Del
ahio CARPENTER, who said he lived
= Boone County, and had been a
miner for four years :--aS called.
testified that he once belonged
to the United Mine Workers Of
America. He Joined a crowd Of
miners and went to Blair, he testi-
44ed, and witnessed the shooting Of
Deputy GoES and two other men
on Blair Mountain. He identified
.nree or four of the men who did
the shooting, he said, but was un-
able to Identify Wilburn, the de-
fendant. He said Ed Combs, one
of the party, had said he had "got
revenge" Carpenter is under in
dictment for murder and treason.

WESTERN ROADS
STOP SCHEDULED
SERVICE. TO-DAY
Three Main Trunk Lines to
East Are Tied-U
by Strikers
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12.-
CBy the Associated Press).-
Transcontnental traffic, passen-
ger and freight, in the far west
ern divisions OF two main rail
systems. the Sante Fe and the
Southern Pacific, was disorsantz-
ed today SO badly that scheduled
service virtually had been aban-
doned. A third trunk line. the
Union Pacific, was threatened with
similar condition.
These were Developments Of
the rapid spread of sporadic walk
outs of engineers. iremen, con-
ductors and trainmei,, which be-
gan Thursday on the Sante @Fe in
Southwestern California and Ari-
zona The members Of the Big
Four brotherhoods said they left
their posts because of their OBJ
lection to armed guards stationed
on railroad property. The union
men also charged that the equip
ment that they were moving was
not in the best condition and they
considered it hazardous to take 1t
out. Rail executives declared the
,, gurads were necessary to protect
the roads, denied that the guards
were Interfering with union
workers and contradicted the as
sertion that equipment was un-
safe. Conferences between union
officials and rail executives had
borne no result early today.
Meanwhile with many trains
withdrawn, seevral, including
- linn
iteds were stalled in torrid de-
sert spots in Arizona and Cali
fornia.
The Southern Pacific declared
an EN- barge on the shipment of
livestock and other per1sha6t,lIes
through the Ogden gateway. The
Western Pacific announced simi-
lar embargo effective within
twenty-fours on consignments des-
tined for the East.
The San Francisco Examiner
today published report that all
trainmen and enginemen employ
ed by the Union Pacific at Stock
ton, Cal, and Winnimucca, New,
had quit work at midnight
The passenger. service on the
Western Pacific was interrupted
early today when train No. 8,
bound from Salt Lake to San
Francisco, was stopped in the sta
tion at Oreville, CAL. when the
new crews at the division point
refused 10 take their places. An
other Western Pacific tratE,
| bound eastward from San Fran
cisco was halted at stockton, CAL,
when the crew deserted.
On the Union Pacific what seem
ed to be a solid block to traffic
was set by the refusal of firemen
at San Bernardfno. Cal, to take
out trains on that roads line from
Lies Angeles to- Salt Lake City.
