President of the National Progressive Union,
is in the city. Mr.. Davis has lately returned
from a round of visits among the men of the
Clearfeid and Punxsutawney districts and
reports the condition of coal mining affairs as
being good. He claims that his Union has a
larger membership by one-half than the N. d.
A. lS5, basing his estimate on the number of
| delegates from each sent to the recent eouyep-
tions. Speaking of coal mining affairs in the
Spring Valley region, Mr.. Davis said that w.
L, Scott had now antagonized the miners as
far as it was in his power, and he gave it as his
opinion that the coal magnate would find IL to
his interest to make the required concession to
his men rather than that he should incur the
expense of keeping his mine open, or throwing
it altogether out Of work as he threatens. Mr..
Davis is here to arrange for meetings in sup
