PresbvterInn aenernl Assemblv.

Eagle Lake Ind. May 22.-Yester-
days session Of the Presbyterian gem
eral assembly was opened by the pre-
sentaHon Of a gavel to the moderator
by General Harrison. The gavel was
composed of hardwoods-oak poplar
black walnut birch and maple. The
oak he said, represented the Calvin
istic frame of the church; the poplar,
the free civil government fostered by
the church: the black walnut, not
painted nor hidden, stood for Christ's
love of finish or individualism; the
BIRCH with dropping branches and
clinging leaves, typifed the sheltering
care of the church for the lambs Of
God, and the maple, with its message
of sweetness, stood for the retiring
moderator and his sermon. The various
pieces of wood We're all historic. The
chairmen Of the various committees
were announced, Hon. John Wanna
maker being named as vice moderator.

Our Mahanoy City and Pottsville contem-
poraries are at loggerheads over the way in
which the two Senators from this county
voted on the Wiler labor bill, granting to
employees the right to join labor organizations
without molestation from their employees.
All the Philadelphia papers credited Senator
Coyle with dodging the question as being
present and not voting. The Senator's own
paper, the Mahanoy City American, denies
this and says he voted for the measure. Here
is what the Pottsville Republican says on
the question: "The Senator from the
Thirtieth District was "sponging' free rail-
road passes out of railroad lobbyist on the
floor of the Senate at Harrisburg the other
day, and lodged the vote on the Wiler labor
bill. Senator Losh from this district, was
present, and voted for the bill on final pas
sage. Such is the record of the Senate.
however much COylewou like to have it
expunged. Senator Losch did vote in favor
Of the amendment placing both Union and
non Union men on the same footing. Coyle
voted against the amendment When on the
following day the original bill came up on
final passage Senator LOsch voted for it.
Senator COyle, although present, failed to
record his vote When you see it in the Re
publican it is correct" The Journal and
Chronicle are lust as severe in their criticisms
of Coyle's apparent duplicity. In view OF
these statements, somewhat at variance. il
will require the official record to prove to the
Senator'S constituents that he voted for the
measure

Prediction Of Better Times From an
AuthOritlve Source.
JUNE TO BRING THE IMPROVEMENT
One Who is in Position TO Judge Gives
Figures Upon which His own opin-
ion is Based and Claims to
Have other Authentic
Information

Rumors Of better times have been so fire.
quent in the recent past and failed to ma
terialize with equal frequency that the
people are now disposed to accept any pre-
dictions, or reports, in that connection with
any degree of faith, but the HERALD to-day
received a report from such excellent au-
thority that it feels justified in saying that
the next two weeks will wind up the siege of
hard times from which this region has suf-
ferod for the past several months.
A reporter Of the paper to-day met
gentleman who is excellently informed on
mining affairs and WAS assured during the
conversation that ensued that beginning
with the second week of juno, next, opera
tions i'm the mines n this region will revive
to the extent that the people may anticipate
three-quarter working time for the balance
Of the year.
Is this statement based merely upon
what you think should take place, or upon
facts within your knowledge which warrant
a statement to the people that an improve
meEt is near at hand 2' asked the reporter.
You may publish what 1 say, but | have
no desire to be quoted in the matter How
ever, you can state that information comes
from the very best authority that better
times for this region, or at least better work
ing time, may be looked for in the second
week of next month. They may make their
appearance during the first week, but l do
not look for the improvement at that time.
What ] say is not based upon my individual
opinion or what 1 think should take place,
nor what ! would like to see, but upon
facts CLEANED from authoritative sources
coupled with my own knowledge of the
course Of current events and what / siu-
cerely believe must transpire. In the first
place, the quota of anthracite production for
the current year is fixed at 10000 600. In
my opinion this quota will be increased
rather than reduced. Five months Of the
year have already elapsed and but 100000
tons Of anthracite have been produced,
leaving 27 600, 600 tons to be prepared. This
leaves an average of about 1000 600 tons of
coal to be produced during each of the seven
months for the balance of the year, or an
increase of about 100000 tons per month
more than has been produced during the
past five months"
But don't you think the great demand for
the smaller sizes of coal and the production
made by the many washeries will have the
effect of holding down the mine operations,
and thus reduce in proportion the improve
ment you anticipate for the men who depend
upon inside operations p vcntured the re-
porter.
mo, do not And let me say that the
| importance of washeries is much exaggerated
| 1t is true they have made great headway in
recent years. but their productions are not
near what some people imagine. AS matter
Of fact / know that the combined washeries
of the sixth anthracite district have moi
produced an aggregate of 25O, 900 tons"
