6hamokin, Pa, Oct. s The whistle
of the North Franklin colliery, at
Trevorton, which had to shut down
Friday was blown at the usual time
Saturday morning summoning men TO
work. All the breaker boys and out
side hands reported. About ten min
ers went to the colliery and, finding
that the remainder Of Their colabor-
ers had again stayed at home, the.
former left the works, whereupon the
officials decided not to resume opera
tions. It is the opinion that the
strike fever has caught hold of the
Trevorton men in earnest and that
they will stay out to q finish. Every
thing is quiet between this place and
5Centralia.
Make Concessions.
Scranton. Pa. Oct. Sin compli-
ance with an agreement of the indi-
vidual coal operators association,
covering the Lackawanna and Wyom-
ing valleys, to give an increase in
wages to their striking mine en-
ployes, the following notice signed by
each operator in the: association and
posted for himself at the mines con-
trolled by him. was issued Saturday
morning: =. E s@ .....
This company makes the following an
nouncement to It's mine employees:
1T will adjust its rate of wages SO as to
tober i, and until further notice, net in.
crease Of ten per. cent on the wages here.
tofore received: .a~-.>....-y ss@,s-.. - i. ..
MOTEL is understood in the forego-
ing that the powder will be sold to miners
for 81. so per keg and that the difference be-
tween this rate and the old rate Of g. Is shall
be taken into account In figuring the net
advance of the price noted above for this
class of work.
This is identical in form with the
notice posted. in the Hazleton region.
This notice was put up at no less than
60 mine openings during the morn
ing, but nobody went to work. In
quiry at the offices of several of the
operators revealed the belief that the
strike could not continue much long
er, probably not over another week,
as by that time the miners and labor
ers will thoroughly understand the
situation and realize Just what the
increase means. It was also learned
that the rate applied to every condi-
ton of earnings that held before the
strike was declared. and that this
meant that the allowance for dead"
work and hard places would stand.
It is figured out that the only in.
equalities which may arise will be
the case where one miner is able to
get out more coal with a keg of pow
der than another, but the }atter's al
lowance will about even this condi.
ton.
Many of the strikers. in fact the
great. majority Of them, hold that the
proposal of the operators is too low
to be considered. They will, how.
ever, abide by whatever action Pres
ident Mitchell may decide upon.
Burned at Stake Playing Indian.
Trenton, n. j., Oct. s.-Eddie Nc.
Bride, ten years old, died as the re.
suit of burns received while playing
'1ndian" with companions of about
his own age. Mcbride was tied to a

with gasoline, then set on fire. The
boy offered no resistance until the
