Think Women burned II.

Hazleton, Pa, Sept. 22.-The Evans
breaker of \. S. Van Wickle & Co.,
operated by Kennedy & Warner, at
Beaver Meadow, four miles from here,
was burned to the ground Tuesday
night. The operators IRE convinced
that 1t was incendinry. The loss will
be about $4,000. About so men were
employed in the breaker and several
hundred in the mines connected with
1t. All these men have been working
continuously since the Lattimer shoot
ing. There is Il wcll-foundcd theory
that women had Il hand in the fire, as
one was heard to say Tuesday: IF we
can't get the men out, we will fix it so
that they can't get in.''

SHORT ON CHANGE.
Nj. w. Davis Il Victim of an Old Time
SwindIing Game.

The old time swindiing scheme known as
the short change" game was successfully
perpetrated yesterday upon NJ W. Davis, a
grocer at 1917 Washington avenue north.
However, the alleged swindler was soon
captured through the vigilance of Officer
kolontersky, Of the Fourth precinct and is
now held at the central station on the charge
of swindling. He gave the name of Charles
Ryan
Early in the afternoon Ryan went into
Davis store and bought box OF strawber-
rieS. In payment he rendered a $40 bill and
was handed back the change. While counting
this he conversed freely and in the mean
time another stranger entered and appeared
TO be in great hurry. After Ryan had
picked up his small change he asked for a
80 bill in exchange for some silver. This was
handed him. and then he asked for a 80
bill for small change before he had handed
back the equivalent of the $5 bill. He passed
over 80 in small change and walked out.
The other stranger wanted some lemons
and said he would return in a short time
for them, but evidently forgot about it.
Davis then began to suspect something
wrong, and after figuring out the change
discovered that he was Just s. short by the
transaction. He notified officer Kolontersky
nished, and he identified by Davis. The
cher stranger was with Ryan. but there
x .aS no charge against him, and he was not
arrested. The officer found the two men at
Seventeenth avenue north and Fifth street.
1t was also learned that Ryan attempted
to work the same game upon P. ]. Scheid
in the saloon at 140 Second street north.
However. Scheid was too sharp and the
game did not work

PEACEFUL STRUGGLE.

national suspension has been a matter
of speculation with the newspapers of
the country for weeks past We are
very thankful to the press for the
friendly mention which this great
movement has been receiving from
every quarter. With the press and the
public, it is not question of should
or should it not take place, but rather
question of when shall the movement
for living wages be inaugurated? III
dependence day was chosen as a dav
we'll befitting our demand. It is the
anniversary of our political indepen-
dence; let it also mark the beginning
of an era of industrial freedom. and as
our revolutionary fathers freed them
selves from foreign rule, let the miners
OF the country free themselves from
the domination of their oppressors ard
Wrest forever from their limbs the fet-
ters and shackles of slavery indie.
pendence Gay cannot be celebrated by
American slaves in a more patriotic
manner than to make proclamation to
the world that they shall no longer
submit to industrial Servitude
Our present suspension is not of
our choice; it is forced upon us by
continuous reductions in wages, until
the point is reached where living by
our industry is no longer possible.
The convention held in Pittsburg today
will be unanimous in support Those
miners who have been forced by pow
erty, and the cruelty of unScrupuIous
operators Of that district to sign IRON
clad contracts, will throw them UP as
they should do, and join the suspen-
sion. | am not fearful that the nln-
ers will in any case violate law or
order and this will be a peaceful con-
test, violence must not enter into it in
any degree. Public opinion is with us.
Telegrams and letters from men in all
walks of life are pouring in indorsing
our actions. The great body of the
people are on our side, and we mean
to retain their support by strict ad-
herence to law and order.
The independence proclamation of
the United States Mine Workers of

PAPER AND PULP.

Among the extensive improvements being
made at Chirnside paper mills is the intro
duct:on of the Cornett cone breaker for
esparto. says the Pail Mall Gazette. The
grass passes in green state over sand tables
and through a white strainer with wide-cut
plate. 1t is then collected IN chest and
pumped into the bleaching engines of which
there are five, each holding about a ton
of grass The circulation of the grass while
being bleached is effected by patent centr-
fugal pumps, which require only fve-horse
power against thirty required by the or
dinary roll for an engine of this capacity.

and is suspended in a vat with its upper

surface, where the density of the pulp is
greatest, and presenting an acting surface
inclined to and acting against the flow of

dueing a yacuous tendency and causing the
pulp to stream through it more rapidly than

CONCESSION TO TIN PLATE MEN
An Advance in Wages Granted to
Five Thousand Men Employed in
the Industry.

PITTSBURG, Pa, July 3.-InduStrial
circles were much excited today over
the development in the situation among
several important trades. On the verge
of the declaration of the coal miners
of the Pittsburg district to take the
lead in the general suspension of the
coal mining industry came the con-
cession to the Tinplate and Amalga-
mated Association of the Iron and Steel
workers. The miners officials here say
that idleness will prevail in the ma
jority of all the rail and river mines
in the PittSburg district. They claim
that the struggle for higher wages VIII
be of short duration, and that by raa-
son of the great demand for coal for
the lake trade at this season of the
year they will be granted an advance
before the operators lose large con-
tracts for the future delivery of coal.
The miners officials claim that a con-
servative estimate fixes the number Of
men who will go on a strike in Penn
sylvania, Virginia, Ohio and Illinois
at 100000 They hope to increase this
number as the strike sentiment grows.
The tinplate workers are jubilant over
the concessions made by the manufac-
turers. 1t is estimated that 5000 skilled
Workmen will resume Tuesday NOM
ing. Nearly all the tinplate manufac-
turers in the Pittsburg district have
orders enough to keep their plants run
ming for the next six months. In a
few plants the entire output for the
next year has been already sold.
The coal miners of the Pittsourg dis
trict, in delegate convention here to-
day, decided unanimously to comply
with the order of the national eXecu-
tive board to strike, and all of the
union miners in the district will lay
down their tools tomorrow morning
and enter upon struggle for better
wages. which promises to be one of the
longest and most bitterly contested
fights ever known in the labor world.
The delegates to the convention left
for their homes full of the strike senti-
ment, every man promising a COM
plete suspension of work in the mines
represented. The miners officials have
completed arrangements for a series of
mass meetings to be held throughout
the entire district, and it is believed
the effect of these meetings will be to
bring out every digger in the district,
those who are under contract agree
ments, as we'll as the others.
Some 21,00O miners are concerned in
the result Many of these, however,
have not been working regularly for
some time. In the Clearfield district.
$4,000 miners are employed when the
mines are running, and District Pres
ldent Bolan says the whole district will
also so out a.
The conference of mill owners and
tin plate workers identified with the
Amalgamated Association of Iron and
Steel Workers, today resulted in the
granting of an advance in wages of
S34 per cent, and protective clause
that timed plate mills will not manu-
factu1e sheet iron. The settlement eff
fects more than 5000 workers.
