That the holidays brought rejoicing
to the hearts of many Billings mer-

they did the largest and most salts
factory business bx~t their history. Not
only is this true along one or two par

Demonstration at Hazleton.

HAzLEroN, Pa, Oct. 1.-The marchers
were orderly here today. The miners
are making desperate efforts to prevent
q stampede to the mines. Five hundred
gathered at Latimer and marched through
the town. They were met by Sheriff
Harvey and 100 deputies and commanded
to stop. The miners demanded the right
of the highway and shouted that they
were unarmed and with raised hands
they marched through the line of officers
into town calling upon all miners
not to work. Three times this move was
repeated aud then the line started for
Jeddo. The mine at Lattimer was opened
by few men who went to work today.
Marches were also made to Jeddo and
Cranberry, Coaldale, Penther Creek,
Laurel Hill and half dozen other places.
The marchers efectually offset the effect
of ten per cent advance notices and all
colleries still remain idle.
