The single property that Is producing
coal is the North Iifan&lin collicry at
Trevurton. in the upper end Of the
Schuylkill region. / employs shout 100
men and boys, mostly American citizens.
Many Of them, the officials say. own their
homes, and they have expressed deter
mnation to remain NJ work.
70 this end the company mas provided
Il strong guard of police. who arc provid-
I'd for any emergency. a dispatch from
the region says the Shamokin strikers
who wanted to march on the North
Franklin men were dissuaded from doing
so because of the known fact that the
police will not suffer any interference.
The ordinary capacity Of the mine is
about 3, 900 tons a week, but just now il
is turning out considerably more than
that.
The Reading company also has two
small washeries at work, but they arc
producing only n few tons of fuel daily.
1t was stated by President Riley OF
the Lehigh Coal and Navigation company
at the offices of the company in this city
that every one of the ten collieries they
operate in the Panther Creek valley ad
joining the Hazleton district is working
except the colliery at Coaldale, and this

How Sheriff Harvey Aycrted Possi-
bile Trouble ut HaxIeton.

Die trouble ut taElelOn.
Hazleton, Pa, Oct. 4.--'rhe only incl
dent up to the time of writing in the

300 mine workers from the Diamond, in
the northern part of the city, to the No.
40 shaft of the Lehigh Valley Coal COM
pany, in the eastern section Of the town.
where they expected to get more men to
quit.
Sheriff Harvey. who is in close touch
with every section of Luzcrne county,
was early informed of the move and was
waiting for the marchcrs ut the shaft
whom they reached there. The sheriff
had with him several of his deputies and
half dozen Of the Lehigh Valley Coal
and Iron police. They were kept in the
background while the sheriff reasoned
with the men in an effort to induce them
not to 20 on company property. lie told
them if they placed Il foot ON private
ground he would be compelled to arrest
them for trespass.
The strikers took the county officers
advice and dispersed without even at
tempting TO carry out their plans. Shcr-
i'll Huryey's mild method of treating with
marchers has won for him the confidence
Of the men. He makes it Il rule not to
command the strikers to disperse, but to
gently plead with them to commit no
violation OF the law.
During the 16 days of the strike he has
faced II number Of crowds of marchcrs
and has succeeded in keeping them with
in the bounds of the law without prc.
cipitating any disturbance.

1t seems to mo worth while to call
attention at this time while the subject

in the papers and discussions. One is
the advantage that would be likely to he
found in lesscning partisan feeling and
action in our municipal affairs from hav-
ing nominations for city offices made by

marics of national and State political
parties have TO do with choosing on
city officers. the better officers it was
thought we would be likely to have.
Another point is the advantage of en-
rouraging independent voting hv the Use
of ballots on which the candidates arc

and another the probability there would
