Organizing The Miners.

VIM. NJ. Bailey, a member of the
General Executive Board of the
Knights of Labor is now in the north
ern part of this county organizing the
miners Mr.. Bailey says there is a
large numberof mines in that district
without organization. The miners
have several locals attached TO the
General Assembly, but when Miners
National District No. l35 was form
ed they refused to attach themselves
to the A ssembly, nor were they gov
erned by the scale The consequence
of this has lately become apparent,
as the men are complaining of exac-
tions in the matter of offensive mining
rules and reductions in wages which
are not experienced elsewhere. The
Executive Board accordingly directed
Mr.. Bailey to go to the mines and
confer with the men He has the as
surance that they will come in and be
will hold mass meetings TO bring
them all into sub Districts Nos 3 and
Mr. Bailey expers nearly one
thousand miners TO join. He will
then go to New Castle and Wellsb0ro
TO organize other miners into the Na-
tional Assembly.

whom he addressed. aud who was the
party he was seeking, that the young
man was not in, but the accommodating
individual volunteered to go and look
for him. Mr. Bell waited and if he
had tarried until the young man re
turn he would have been there yet
At another place Mr.. Bells approach
WAS noticed too late for escape aud
the young man who supposed he was
wanted stepped into q large chsat
which was utiIized as q Seat. Mr..
Bell entered and inquired for his mau,
and on being informed that be had
just stepped out took seat upon the
chest and said be would await the
young mans return. The situation
looked bad for the man ia tbs box
His quarters were close and uncom-
