orators, and
Whereas, The earnings Of mine workers have
been reduced to such an extent that we are no

Notwithstanding the fact that market prices oi
coal are much higher than have prevailed foi
many years and the profits made on investments
in coal property are in excess Of those obtained
at any other period; in view of all these Circum-
stances we declare it to be our firm conviction
that we are entitled to at least fair share of
the increased profits which have been and are
being secured for the products OF our laborS;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the delegates representing
the miners and mine laborcrs engaged in the pro-
duction of coal in the anthracite region, submit

life have increased fully 80 per cent. in the
past two years; be it further

conditions Of employment except when all other

to at once convene the national executive board
for the purpose Of passing upon our application
to engage in strike to take effect not later than
ten days from this date providing an amcablC

Outsiders May Be Asked to Confer
with Operators.

According to the press committee,
the power given the district executive
committee to appoint any committees
they may see fit means that any out
siders-non-uniOn employees, mer-
chants, professional men or ministers
may be asked to confer with the
operators for an adjustment of griev-
ances so that every means shall be
exhausted before any strike Is de-
clared. 1t is possible that Father Phil
lips will be requested to speak for
the miners of this district. Several
business men may also be invited to
confer with the operators on behalf of
the men.

PLAIN KID" FOR THE NONC1

Alderman Millar then proceeded to
cross-eXamine slaughter" regarding
the Tobey burglary. Then a remark
able thing happened. The bold invader
of society the embryo Jesse James,
suddenly turned into little boy, who
tremblingly remarked: Harry Allen
told me the case was open and said /
should take the watches"
II am afraid you are n little liar,
my son." Alderman Millar blandy in
terrupted. You do not need any pre-
ceptOr in the gentle art of thieving."
Chief Robling then mentioned some
Instances where the brigand chief was
wanted for picking pockets, and De-
tective Moir chimed in with "Yes,
and how about the lame man who sells
trinkets near Samter's store? What
did you do to him, boy? How much
| did you steal there?"
II took four pair Of cuff buttons -
said the brgand proudly, his chest ex-
pandng with pride. "An' me fathers
wearing a pair of them now" he
| added.
Have you ever committed murder?'
! queried Alderman Millar anxiously al
this juncture. You know you are only
accused of burglary, robbery and
pocket picking so far"
The brigand chiefs eye flashed with
! JOY at this compliment to his prowess
but he deigned no reply. During the
night he and Hungry" Hill were in.
carcerated in the dungeons in the city
hall, where they congratulated each
other on the advance they had already
made in their chosen profession.

Deer Slaughtered.

/ It is reported in our village this
morning, that two citizens Q.
Eagle River, spent last night
hunting deer and this morning
brought III the carcasses of two
does which they killed during
the night. We ares sorry that we
are unable to furnish our readers
with the names of the perretra-
tors of this ofense. tits not out
of sympathy for the offenders
that we Withhold their names, but
for the simple reason that as yet
we have not been able to deter
mine with sufficient certainty
who the law breakers are.
We have no sympathy or pa
tents with man who will go
out at this season Of the year
and kill deer. There is no excuse
for it. The deer are poor, their
meat is not fit to eat. IF a man
has not got money enough to
buy meat for himself or family,
let him go out and kill porcupine,
and he will find the meat more
palatable and wholesome, than
the meat of a poor doe which is
sucking a fawn somewhere In
the woods.
It is bad enough to kill deer in
July and August while they are
III the red coat, but to kill them
now, is simply barberous. In
July and August the fawns have
some chance to live, now if the
doe is killed the fawns are sure
to starve in the woods. No man
with one drop Of true sports
man blood in his veins will do
this. All citizens who are inter
ested in the preservation of this
noble game should take it upon
themselves to furnish the game
wardens of the state with the
names and with evidence to con-
v1ct criminals.
