A CLASH WITH STRIKERS.
Continued from First Page.)

comment. Many of the business men had
decorated for the occasion, ard it was
truly gala day in the city. The great
procession succeeded in impressing upon
the people Of this city an idea Ct til,
strength of the organization here, and
caused many to cease to wonder that In
this county the strike has been 50 effec-
tive.
The parade started to move about 2:sO
o'clock. Many of the organizations had
walked miles to reach here, and several
unions marched here from ELEPHANT, seven
miles distant. All sections Of the country
contributed their quota, and hundreds OF
delegates already here Joined in the pro-
cesson. The parade was formed in six di-
Visions and was headed by four carriages
with officials and leaders of the United
Mine Workers of America. The first was
occupied by President Mitchell Miss Mer-
rison, Mother" Jones. and Mayor James
NJ. Orr.
Nearly all the men in line wore ribbons
of red, white, and blue in their coat lapels.
There were large numbers in their min
ing clothes, with lighted lamps on their
caps. These came in for many rounds OF
applause. There were also several floats.
unique in design, and showing some Of
the abuses from which the strikers claim
to be suffering. After the countermarch
through Vine Street to Washington Ave-
nue., and thence direct to the Ash Street
grounds, where the arrangements for the
mass-meeting had been made.
Here was a central platform for the
speakers. National Committeeman Fred
Dilcher was the chairman Of the meeting
and music was furnished by the Anthra
cite Glee Club and by several of the
bands. After calling the meeting to or
der Mr.. Dilcher introduced Mayor Orr,
who cordially welcomed the visitors to
the city. Other speakers were Secretary
Dempsey, President Nichols. of District
No. l. and President Mitchell. The re-
marks of Mr.. Mitchell were necessarily
brief as it was now growing dark. One
of his sentences has aroused much con-
lecture here, and fears that after all Fri
days convention may not decide to ac-
cept the proposed 10 per cent advance.
Il have refrained." said President
Mitchell, from saying anything on the
proposed advance of 10 per cent. 1 en-
willing to say now, though, that it is Lot
satisfactory. The operators ought, at
least, agree that it remain in force for
one year, and they ought to abolish the
company store, pay every two weeks, and
also do away with the sliding SCALE"
Much feeling was expressed here today
because the railway companies all refused
to give special rates to the local unions
that came from a distance to Scranton to
parade in a body. This may have some
effect upon Fridays decision. There were
several devices in the parade today that
occasioned remark. One consisted of a
group of lusty miners seated at a table
containing liquor, piles of greenbacks, and
cigars. A banner stated that they repre-
scented coal operators and the manner in
which they influenced legislators.

larged to fifteen. Pursuant to the in

HOW HE GOT A RIDE.
A Tramp's Original Way of BEAT.
ing" a Railway Company.

From the Maryvillc Mo) Tribune.
Wesley Bales. who is just back from
trip to Chicago, tells a good story
which travelling man he met on his
trip told him. of how a tramp. by
working an entirely new scheme, sue
ceeded in beating his way into Chicago
on fast train.
The travelling man says that while
he was buying IA ticket for Chicago at
a station not far from the city ne OBJ
served the tramp in question standing
near him at the ticket window listen
ing to the words that passed between
him and the ticket agent. His ticket
cost $3.50. After he had sat down in
the waiting room of the depot the
tramp came over to him and said:
Are you going to Chicago"
YES" was the reply.
"Well. I am going to Chicago, too
Let me see your ticket.
The travelling man handed him the
ticket. The tramp glanced over it,
Yes" he said. that is Just like
mine. wonder if the agent gave me
the right change. | gave him 500"
Here he turned the cardboard over and
wrote the figures on the back Of it..
MY ticket should have cost me the
same as yours" writing $3.50 and the
other figures under iD, land l should
have received $3.50" performing the
operation of subtraction). Yes" he
continued, as he handed back the tick
ct and turned away: II guess that's
all right"
When the train started the travelling
man was in a front coach and the
tramp i'm a rear one. In few minutes
the conductor came along.
Here" he said, addressing the
tramp, "where's your ticket?"
1--WE given 1t to you already" was
the response.
mo. you haven't either. haven't
seen you before"
But l tell you ! have given you my
ticket, and I can identify 1t. When /
paid the agent ! did some figuring on
the back of It to see whether he had
given me the right change. II you
find among the tickets you have taken
up one on the back of which $3.50 has
been subtracted from $50. that's mine.
Conductor shoves his hand into his
capacious pocket and draws forth a
bunch of tickets the back of which ne
carefully scrutinixes. Suddenly stops
