hanna, was yesterday late in reaching

applied there, but was found later by
the Scranton police.
On July II The Tribune reported Has
sett's commitment to the county Jail
for stealing a ride on a Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western train. The
report was read by Chief Mahon. who
had warrant for Hassetts arrest. He
resided in Susquehanna and was
wanted for the theft Of $45 from the
home of owen Finnigan, of Starrucca,
near Susquehanna, but in Wayne
county.
When the Susquehanna official found
himself behind time at the Jail he solic-

found in the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western railroad yard, evidently
waiting to steal a ride again, and was
arrested. He was taken to Honesdale
and locked in the Wayne county Jail
yesterday afternoon. He has served
time in the Eastern penitentiary.

EACH STATE A DISTRICT,


The national order is one of the sixty
national unions affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor. IN
the states of Ohio, Illinois, Indiana
and western part of Pennsylvania
(bituminous regions), it is thoroughly
organized. Each state is a district
with an average membership of $4,000
AS to results, early in January. iSaS,
a meeting was held in Chicago lasting
nine days. The operators and repre-
sentatives of the mine workers cyn-
ferfed, and today the men in the above
mentioned sections are getting 10 cents
a ton more than last year, and only
work on the eight-hour schedule.
Some such amelioration of condi-
tions may be looked for here, after a
while" said Mr.. Evans. Il find that
affairs are deplorable hereabouts, and
look forward to a change for the bet
ter after we have reached a point
where the employer and employe un-
derstand each others wants and
rights"
Local unions having a grievance seek
solution for themselves in the affAct' d
district, failing, they appeal to the dis
trict comprising several unions. Fail
ing then the matter goes to the nation
al body. Owing to it's connection with
the American Federation of Labor, ev-
cry other class of labor, organized thus
is depended upon for help, both moral
and otherwise.
Mr.. Evans likes Scranton and the
Lackawanna and Luzerne coal valleys,
and the progress displayed along IN
dustrial lines.

to This Region He Has Organized
Nine New Unions and Strength
ened the Twenty-Three That Were
Heretofore in Existence-Where
the New Unions Are Located-Two
More Are to Be Organized This
Week In This Region.

Chris Evans. national organizer of
the National union OF United Mine
Workers of America, has been quie :ly
at work i'm this anthracite coal region
for some time.
Organizer Evans is a short, plain
looking man, but his speech and az
tion give instant hint of a latent abii-
ity to accomplish much along sensible
lines of action. He is "evangelizing
among the anthracite coal workers and
says that he finds harvest waiting to
be garnered. When not busy at his
work he can be found at ]. A. Shiffer's,
342 Franklin avenue.
In conversation with a Tribune re-
porter he said he left his home at Nell
sonville. Ohio, last February, and has
been working continuously ever since
in the anthracite regions. He can
vassed Clearfeld and jefferson coun-
ties and in and about Hazelton. Many
local unions were organized, and those
In existence were strengthened and en-
couraged. incidentally he attended the
recent convention of mine workers held
at Altoona.

UNIONS ORGANIZED.

He came to our city about mont 4
ago and says he has accomplished
much satisfactory work. To the twen-
ty-three local unions already organ
lied in the valley, nine more have been
added. These latter were organized at
the following towns: Duryea, Pttston,
Maltby, Sturmerville, Wyoming, Smith
vile, Minooka, Old Forge and North
Scranton. Two more will be organized
this week at Boston (near Plymouth),
and East Wyoming. The organized
unions have been visited and their
membership increased The avera ge
membership of each union being about
$50.
The above is descriptive of Mr.. Ev-
ans general work. To strengthen q d
unions and organize new ones is his
purpose. The whole region will be thor
oughly canvassed The mine workers
will be more completely organized tni.n
ever before.
In response to a question as to who
and what the National Union of Mine
Workers of America is, Mr.. Evans stat
ed that it is a body organized for the
purposes of conciliation and arbitra-
tion between worker and operator.
There are about $3.50, 900 mine workers
(coaD in this country, and about 150,-
600 in the anthracite region. 1t is not
a beneficial order, but local unions who
govern themselves can, optionally, he
