WAS LOST.
Harry ShOemake Has Queer ExperI-
ence i'm Great COrndeld.

Harry Shoemake is setting the
cigars up to the boys of " the gang"
on account of rather unusual ex-
perience that occurred Sunday, Sept,
1st. Harry with a party Of other
nimrods went out for a hunt several
miles north west of the city.
1t was decided that each should go
for himself for a time and Harry
struck out through cornfield. Harry
did not know it but he was in a field
of several hundred acres extent. he
Travelled quite while to get out and
into the fields and because he did not
get out soon he supposed that he had
changed directions in some way.
Then he did change directions and
thereby made matters worse. He
walked another hour and did not get
out. He heard no firing from the
other members of the party. He
shouted to his companions and re-
ceived no reply. He looked at the
sun and it being on the wrong side of
him he thought he had been in the
| field several hours and that it was
af ernoon. He could not tell the hour
as he was without a timepiece. The
more he walked the more he became
confused and turned around. He
fred off his shot gun in the effort to
attract attention. The noise in that
lonely place was something terrible.
1t made Harry gun shy" and he
determined to get away, from that
awful place some how.
If he bad followed a corn row
straight through the field he would
have been all right but he changed
directions every now and then as he
was completely lost in the field, with
corn tassels waving several feet
above his head and no way to see
out, he was completely bewildered
and probably was travelling in circle
all over that field.
Weary and foot sore, dusty, thirsty
and almost ready to drop in his
tracks he finally emerged from the
field and came out in q piece of wood
land. He had no idea where he was.
His dog had long since deserted him.
He was almost famished for want of
food, Finally about three thirty
O'Clock he spied a farmers house.
He Immediately made the acquaint-
ance of the farmer and was given a
meal and informed as to the points
of the compass, the distance from
the city and other minor details. The
information was so discouraging that
Harry was completely disheartened
and when he thought of the great
distance to where the rig was placed
and the possibility of spending anoth-
er life time in that corn field of count
less millions of acres, it had grown
so in his imagination, he collapsed.
He told the farmer that he was ill
and hired him on the spot to drive
him to the city.
The hunting party did not know
what had become of their companion
and searched for him several hours
thinking some accident had befallen
him. They at last came to the city
and found Harry at home resting up
after his experience. Harry does
not feel inclined to treat the matter
as joke but as every one laughs
about it he thinks perhaps there is a
humorous side to the affair after all
and hence the cigars that are being
passed around. The gentleman says
if any one is in doubt as to whether.
being lost in corn field is a serious
matter let them try it and be con-

Enterprise Silk Co. S Position.
EDITOR STAR,

EDITOR STAR,
Dear Sir:-To make our position per-
fectly clear regarding silk mill strike,
we request space TO state that we had a
strike at one OF our other mills which
the strikers, who made unjust and un-
reasonable demands, have lost. We
filled their places with new hands and
In order to take revenge and out Of
spite, few OF them have come to Reyn-
oldsville to urge a sympathetic strike.
Failing in this, by repeating tissue Of
falsehoods, they have induced our en-
ployees here TO make demand for an
enormous increase in wages, WHICH the
state OF business would not allow to be
granted.
1t Is stated that we were paying less
than other mills, while we know we are
paying as much or more. To prove this,
we offered, as printed in your last issue,
that II 1t could be shown that our COM
petitors In other Pennsylvania mills,
who make similar qualities, pay more.
we would willingly pay an advance to
cover the difference.
We even went so far as to offer TO pay
the advance, when proven, from last
Tuesday on, to be paid as soon as inves-
tigation was concluded and the facts
established. All OF which was declin-
ed.
We appeal to all reasonable people
whether this was not fair proposition.
We have no desire to pay less in
ReynOldsville than our competitors pay,
but we do demand that we be put on q
level with our competitors, so that we
are enabled to sell our production.
We wish to treat everyone In our en-
ploy fairly, and are willing to pay the
highest wages the class OF goods we
make In Reynoldsville will allow, but
we must be put on a basis where we
can compete; otherwise be would be un'
able to run the mill.
We would urge the citizens OF Reyn
oldsville and all who may be interested
to investigate this matter and do II.
justice before 1t is too late.

SILK MILL STRIKE.
Employees Demand An Increase of Twen.
~ Per Cent for all Workers.


IL was stated in THE STAR last week
that the employees at the Enterprise
Silk Company's Mill in this place had
made demand Tor an increase of wages,
but they had not declared strike at
that time. They are now out on a
strike, and have issued the following
notice concerning their grievances
with the silk mill company:
"IO the Working People IN General
and Citizens:-W ithe employees of the
Enterprise Silk Company, find from
good sources and statistics that we are
not paid enough for our daily labor, by
One-half of what is paid in Paterson, n.
j., and far less than some of the mills
In Pennsylvania.
"We resolved by unanimous vote to
demand 20 per cent for all wage work
ers In the different branches of the in
dustry. Added to the present scale OF
wages paid, would only mean ! cent a
yard to the weaver, II cents per l0O
ends to the warper, and 20 cents to 80
cents per week to other employees
Also that our hours be reduced to %
hours per week and the reinstatement
of victimized lUnion) girl.
This demand was made on Tuesday
August 27th, 1901, to receive an answer
on Saturday, August 81, 1901, to take
effect on Tuesday, September Bird, 1901
the result of which was a refusal of the
20 per cent and the 80 hours. Our com
mittee on Wednesday then asked for II
per cent pending an investigation o
some OF the mills in Pennsylvania
which was fatty refused, and consider
ing our demands are just we resolved L
fight battle for labor and its profit.
I'VE find in our midst the same silk
made here, and made in Paterson, sell
ing for Sl.00 per yard. The cost o
making the same is about 20 cents pc
yard. Finding the profits Of the manu-
facturers very large, we appeal to yol
for your support, and aid us to victor.
and benefit to our city in general.
1--WE also find from authority tha
the firm has already advertised for hel
in different districts on the outskirts o
Reynoldsville, therefore ask your as
sistance and to keep your children an
others from joining hands with the or
pressor, when you will be beneftin
yourself and all citizens concerned.
