they have given 100000 to the fund

Union Men Go to Law.

George Clark, foreman in the en-
poy of the Hunt Il Connell Company
scranton, was arraigned before an alder
man on Friday afternoon upon the
charge of discharging number of
steam filters because they were mem
oers OF labor union. Some Importance
is attached to the proceedings, as it is
said that they are the first of that nature
in the state.
The prosecutor is Louis A. Mack and
from his evidence it appears that he, L.
j. Radigan, c. f. Ceary, Frederick X
Guest, Edward Watson and Edward
Longyear, were employed by Clark as
steam filters. 1t is alleged that Clark
threatened to weed out the union men
and as result all of the above named
were discharged and Mack claims it was
because they We're members of the steam
filters union.
The act of assembly under which pro-
ceedingS was taken was approved June
4, 1897, is for the purpose of protecting
employees of corporations, in their right
to form, join or belong to labor organiza-
tions. The penalty for its violation is a
fine of not more than So, 900 nor less
than $1,000 and Imprisonment for a
term not exceeding one year, or either,
or both in the discretion of the court.
Clark entered bail in the sum of $500
for his appearance at court.
