The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1894-06-06

An example of how one sometimes
has to SO away from home to get the
news is embodied in the following dis.
patch which has recently been sent
broadcast by one Of the large press
news associations, under a Pittsburg
date line:
1t was learned here last night that the ex-
ccutive board Of the United Mine workers
are now considering the sdvisability Of
calling out the 100, 600 anthracite coal min.
ers in Pennsylvania. The officers of this
district are expecting word at any moment
to go into the anthracite region for that
purpose.
There Is. of course. nothing to pre-
vent the executive board Of the United
Mine Workers from calling on 100, 900
anthracite miners to go out on strike,
neither is there any obstacle to hinder
their calling on 10000 mill workers,
or 100, 900 other kind of workers in
Northeastern Pennsylvania to do like.
wise. But it ia one thing to call and
another thing to secure attention and
obedience. The fact is that
this is regarded heresbouts as
an exceptionally good time for
the anthracite miners of Pennsylvania
to remain at work upon n faithful dis
charge of their own duties. They are
beginning for the first time in several
months to see q clear future for their

IT IS TRUE that type is set in this Of

other necessary work is done. No

urged to work on Sunday evenings.
Only a limited number of other work

infringes upon nc ones conscience. 1t

finally, it is much the same kind
Of labor that is performed in

not print them. When this sentiment

The Sensible View.

The letter from McGarrah & Thomas
printed in yesterdays TRIBUNE is a fair
and candid explanation wIich will not
fail to have n good effect. The right
Of that firm to have n legal question
definitely adjudicated in the courts will
bs readily and generally conceded. II
it can be established that they ara cor

thorities free to direct their proseeut.
ing energies against those violators Of
the Sunday law who are the chief Of
tenders, both in the spirit Of their OBJ
position and in it's practical effects.
At the present time it avails little to
90 back into discussions of what has
passed. The present movement FOR a
general closing Of business places on
Sunday, up to the limits of works of
necessity or charity, may, or may not,
have been initiated in the most advan-
tageous AMI prudent manner. That,
however. does not obscure the fact that
q number OF persons in this city are yet
defying the law. They do not pretend
TO limit their business transactions on
the first day Of the week to works of
charity or necessity; but instead ad-
vertise their intention to do virtually
what they please TO do, and then, by
informing on themselves and settling
the cost Of a conviction. make Of the
penal clause of the present Sunday law
practically a license to cover the laws
systematic violation.
The sensible sentiment Of this COM
munity does not wish to be dogmatic.
1t does not say to druggists; you
shall not respond to calls of charity or
necessity on Sundays." 1t does not
countenauce any curse which would
strain at a gnat and then swallow a
camel. Its purpose is simply to keep
the first day of the week as free from
secular anxieties and toll as is consist
eut with necessary present-1ay con-
ditions. II it is necessary to run street
cars on Sunday, run them by all means.
II it is necessary to set type on Sunday,
set it. The law, as nowadays inter-
preted, would scarcely prevent these

JOURNALISTIC T

One Of the neatest and most artistic ex-
positions of a thriving city's business and
industrial interests that we have seen
comes from the presses OF the Altoona
Gazette. 1t comprises halftone illustra-
tions Of prominent Blair county citizens,
leading commercial institutions and points
Of scenic interest. together with discrip-
tive articles covering the entire field. The
edition would reflect credit upon n pnb-
fishing house thrice the age Of the Gazette
Printing company, and is a magnificent
tribute to its enterprise.
The Wilkes-Barre Times has begun to
print the regular afternoon service Of the
United Press. Other improvements are
promised by the new management, whose
greatest mistake thus far has been in per-
hitting Edward A. Niven to retire from

The Third District Convention.
The nomination, by Third district
Republicans Yesterday, Of Frank
Grover Of Moosic, as their legislative
candidate c%onfers deserved distinction
upon an energetic and capable business
man, who stands we'll among his neigh
bors, is not the product of factionalism
and will, when elected, make a cred
liable representative.

II presages the spirited and enthusiasts
tic campaign that is to follow, and that

water mark affixed TO the credit side
Of Third district Republicans.
Upon the whole, a more encouraging
start could not well have been made
than was yesterday made in the good
natured zeal with which friendly par
tisans, after choosing their candidate
fairly and frankly, upon a platform of
merit, decided to accord to him loyal
and undivided support and thus help
to swell the general victory.
