 Benson Testifies
 Henry Benson, Territorial Com missioner of Labor, took the stand following Lannen and was ques- toned after Investigator Kerster and Rep. Fisher hurriedly agreed that the Labor Commissioner would not have to be sworn in.
 Digging for specific instances of the effect of the maritime strike on Alaskan economy, Kersten and Fisher asked about increase in price of living, whether industries have been shut down in the Territory, if private and military construction have been curtailed
 Rep Fisher said he had been informed the local sawmill had been closed as result of the mari llIlIt SIIlht dllO t1ontA Benson if this were true.
 Benson's response indicated that the closure of the local sawmill had nothing to do with the mari time strike, but that the mill was closed by a jurisdictional fight between unions and the matter is presently being determined by the National Labor Relations Board.

HORSE AND
BUGGY DAYS
by
Ida 10 Martin

More than half century ago the
Hagerstown Mail published story
written by Dr. w. H. Grimes, in
which he gave some "reminiscences of
what, to him, were "old times" In
the story he described scene he
often saw in Hagerstown in his
youth, in these words:
Il recollect seeing every winter,
when there was much snow on the
ground, numbers of two-horse sleds
coming into town from quite a dis
lance, bringing wheat, rye, oats,
green and dried apples, feathers, and
beeswax, honey, venison, hams, etc.
This was a harvest for the merchants
of the town, who all kept extensive
apartments of every kind of mer-
chandise, dry-goods, groceries,
queensware, shoes, and boots,-more
shoes than boots, as the extensive
boot-factories of New England had
not then been established"
He went on to say that the lead
ing merchants of his early days had
been the Harrys, the McIlhenrys,
the Kenedeys, and Richard Raglan
and James Ferguson. He added
that James Ferguson and the Ken
edys had reaped a fortune in their
enterprises.
From the very earliest days of
the town, there were numerous in
dustries and variety of kinds in
Hagerstown, which attracted atten-
ton throughout the area. But in
the days prior to the Revolution, all
such industries in the colonies were
greatly handicapped by restrictions
placed upon them by Great Britain,
So it was around the beginning of
the nineteenth century that local
industries began making their real
progress. A reference to these
conditions is made in an article ap-
pearing in the Hagerstown Herald"
of Oct. 4, 1909, beginning as follows:
"Since the infamous policy now
pursued in Europe commenced, we
have in this country made rapid
progression towards supplying our
selves with clothing of our own man
ufacturing. There have been erected
within the last eighteen months,
fourteen carding- machines for wool
and cotton, all of which find con-
slant employment. Besides, there
has lately been erected spinning
machine, having about three hun
dred spindles and others are about
to be erected. Several of our
weavers, who carry on their bust
ness quite extensively, have brought
in the use of the flying shuttle, the
advantages of which are incalculable.
There appears to be general pref
erence among our citizens to do
mestic products, which, although
not as gaudy and superb as the en-
ervated European might think sty-
lish, yet they are all comfortable,
and suitable to republican manners"
Some time after this there must

have been a swing back to favoring
the foreign products, for we find
recorded a resolution in the form
of a call for all patriotic persons
interested, to come to meeting to
boost home products. This call was
printed in Hagerstown on December
%, 1841, and read as follows:
Whereas, the undersigned hav-
ing viewed with regret rising dis
position manifested by many of our
citizens to give a preference to arti-
cles of foreign manufacture, and as
we believe this disposition to be de-
trimental to the interest of the whole
American community, and particu-
larly to the manufacturing and me-
chanical portions thereof, and as we
feel a deep interest in the prosperity
and advancement of home manufac-
lures and the sustenance of our
American operatives, we will meet
at the courthouse on January LIST
New Years Day., for the purpose
of forming a Home League" There
will be several addresses delivered
on the occasion. The citizens are gen.
orally invited to attend"
Following this notice appears the
names of a group of the leading cit
liens of that day, no less than thirty
two names, including the newspaper
men, Mittag and Sneary, and George
Updegraff.
Of this last name, historian Scarf,
writing about 1900, says: 1.-THE name
of Updegraff is and has been for
many years prominently identified
with the business interests of Hag-
erstown." Peter Updegraff came to
Hagerstown from York County, Pa,
sometime before 1898, and became
a prosperous baker and confectioner.
His son, George, became a well
known halter, and served as post
master from 1848 to 1852. 1t was
William, of the third generation,
who was the best known.
William Updegraff went to school
to Isaac Allen and later at the Hag-
erstown Academy, and served an
apprenticeship under halter named
H. ]. Downey For time thereafter
he manufactured silk hats in Balti-
more with a firm he helped found.
But in 1852 he became a partner
with his father in Hagerstown in the
manufacture of hats.
When the advent of machines
made their methods obsolete, the
'Updegraffs turned to making gloves.
This business grew and expanded,
until in 1879 they were making six
thousand dozen pairs of gloves and
mittens annually.
William Updegraff was quite ac-
tive in fields other than his business.
He helped found the Hagerstown
Agricultural Implement Manufac-
turing Company, and the Mechanics
Loan and Savings Bank, and was
one of the projectors of the Rose
Hill Cemetery. In 1870 he began to

a bill into the Legislature, but he
saw it defeated. Then he worked
harder till the next term, when he
helped pass the bill.
Scharff states that here was one
man of means who fully recognized
his responsibility, and instead of
shrinking from expenditures for the
public good, often went out of his
way to invite and incur such ex-
penditures.
