MINERS STRIKE AVOIDED.
Several of the H. c. Frick Coke Plants to be
Closed Down.

Several of the III. c. Frick Coke Plants to be
Closed Down.
A strike of 600 miners at Hecla has been
prevented by the company re-employing
four men. The local trouble at Millwood,
over which strike was threatened, has
been satisfactorily settled by the company
agreeing to pay the same wages as are paid
in the Cokeville district, where scale of
wages similar to that in the coke regions
has been arranged. Several of the II. C.
Frick Coke Company plants will be closed
down indefinitely next Friday. The entire
Trotter plant of 464 ovens is among those to
be banked. A portion of the Redstone,
Central, Jimtown, Tiptop, White and Sum-
NIT Works, or in all 676 ovens, are to be
shut down by the Frick Company. This is
done to avert the accumulation of coke in
yards.
They claim that the production at present
exceeds the demand. 1t cannot now be as
certained at present if the Mcclure, or
other large concerns, will or will not follow
suit in closing down a certain percentage of
their works, so that the output will be
equivalent to the demand. A depression in
trade is usual at this time of year when
furnaces close down for necessary repairs.
Seven hundred men will be thrown out of
EMPLOYMENT.

TIRED OF MUD ROADS,
Squire Handel Issues Proclamation on
the Problem Confronting supervisors
Farmers Almost Excluded From the Rest

Squire Handel Issues a Proclamation on
the Problem Confronting supervisors-
Farmers Almost Excluded From the Rest
of the World.
Squire Herman Handel is out in a proc
lamation in which he says the roads shall
and must be made passable. They have be-
come dangerous for man of his build to at
tempt travelling. He has been experimenting
with mud shoes somewhat similar TO snow
shoes, but they do not work we'll, no matter
how we'll they may be oiled. The Squire,
however, insists that the work must be done
under State supervisor, as he says this
thing of every supervisor being his own
engineer" is played out. Mr.. Handel says
the roads will never be better until built by
men who have made the subject study and
thev must be trained engineers.
If anyone is bold enough to dispute the
'Squire's assertion, all he need to do to
satisfy himself of the necessity of science
added to common sense and honesty is to
take drive from McKee's Rocks to the
Steubenville pike, taking the road 70 the
right OF the Arbuckle farm. The mud can
not get any deeper, unless higher wheeled
wagons are used, as it is up to the
axle of a common vehicle now, and
tuc SlSaV OOuluCIo kHdb ~5upctflSOTS
have from time to time dumped
on the road have settled to the bottom and
it is as rough as mismanagement can DOS
sibly make it. The side drains have dis
appeared, and where there are grades the
road is making moraines. The cut is so
great and the sides of the hills so soft
that in places the earth's epidermis threatens
to slide of, and yet everyfarmer in Stowe and
Robinson townships, through which the
road runs, pays from S. to S1O0 year road
tax, either in cash or by soldering. The
schools in the townships doubtless need the
dog tax for their better support, but the
roads need it more. And on one end of this
road $4,000 were squandered in one year,
making it worse now than it would have
been if left entirely alone.
A spirited horse bitched to q light road
cart, in which was seated one man, was OBJ
served yesterday to rear on his hind feet
and plunge in agony in his efforts to make
headway. He had been driven but six
miles and was thoroughly tagged out,
though only driven three miles an hour.
His danks were quivering and a cloud of
steam ten feet high hung over him.
The cost of hauling ton of oil we'll cas-
ing three miles in that road is greater than
the freight from the mill to Australia, and
vet the shiftless farmers have their fingers
in their mouths, and their barren brains
suggest no remedy. 1t isn't much wonder
that farming doesn't pay in Allegheny
county.
