Early Settlement of
Strike is Promised.
Little Change in the Situation
Yesterday.

Hazleton, Pa, October 19.-As far as
tte United Mine Workers officials are
concerned, matters are az a standstiIl
in the anthracite miners contest with
the operators. There was nothing new
in the situation today and President
Mitchell still refuses to talk.
Much Disappointment was expressed
in this region today because an early
ending OF the strike was prevented by
reason Of the powder grievance. What
Will be done with question Is difficult to
forecast and it is believed the United
Mine Workers officials have not yet
definitely decided what they will do
Some OF the strike leaders say the union
officials are not authorized by the Scran-
ton convention to decide the powder
grievance and that another convention of
miners will be necessary to dispose OF
the question.
WILL NOT WORK MONDAY.
Scranton, Pa, October 19 1t is a prac-
ticaI certainty that the miners Will not
be back to work next Monday, as was ex-
pected from the action OF the PhiladeI-
phia conference OF operators on tuesday
and Wednesday and the Scranton CON
ference yesterday.
Some of the biggest local companies are
baking at the agreement to continue the
ten per cent offer in force until April 1.
MINERS MAY MEET AGAIN.
Shamokin. Pa, October 10 A mass
meeting of miners was held at Union
town this evening to form local branch
of the United Mine Workers union with
view of inducing the men Of that vii
lage to cease working the Cameron col
Iiery seperators. A majority of the men
joined the organization. The strikers
are determined to stop the colIiery entire
ly, and as number of deputies are at the
mine night and day, serious trouble is
likely to occur at any time if the mineral
company continues to work the sepera-
tors.
George Hartlein, secretary of district
No. 9, United Mine Workers, said tonight
that Notwithstanding the trouble over
the powder question. the operators and
President Mitchell Will effect an amic-
able settlement in a few days.

A FEELING OF DEPRESSION.
Coal Miners Not as JubiIant as They
Were.

Hazleton, Pa, October 19.-The settls-

mine workers is undoubtedly blocked by
the question of the price miners will
be asked in future to pay for powder.
Employers have agreed to give their
men 10 per cent more in wages than they
we're paid before the strike began, but
they insist that in figuring the net ad-
vance Of 10 per cent the reduction Of

be taken into consideration.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, October 19.-The

which they expect to break up the mi

faith. That the offer they have made

Walter Davis, of the Covel book

with larceny from building Con.

this morning after the man.
1t is claimed upon several occasions
Sparks and companion came to the
Covel book store and asked to see
goods. They would select something
have the package laid aside and then
leave the store not to return. On
one occasion one of the parties looked
at some perfume but had a fine book
wrapped up. When. he left large
bottle of fine perfume was missed.
On second occasion two parties en-
tered the store when only Walter
Davis was in charge. One stayed in
the front of the store while the other
went in the rear of the store with the
clerk to examine goods. This time
the clerk heard the door of the per-
fume case closed and another bottle
of perfume was missed. Mr.. Davis
recognizes in Sparks one of the men
that operated on him and hence the

The case of Dennis Ragen VS. Ma

the Mulct tax for the time during
which his saloon was not in opera
ton, was decided IN favor Of the
plaintiff in district court Thursday
afternoon by Judge Dewey. Mr..
Ragen in January paid to the county
$3.50 for the first quarter of the year.
About February 1, his place was
closed by decision of the suprense
court and remained closed for about
two months, or until the new petit
ton of consent was declared valid.
In the mean time the legislature legal
lied all petitions up to February L,
which as mir. Ragen claimed made
the retention of the money collected
for license after that time illegal
The court so held and ordered 500
refunded to Mr.. Ragen for the time
his place was closed. Several other
saloons will also likely have similar
amounts refunded.
