STRIKE AT
EBERvALE
Miners Shut Down the COL
liery Yesterday.
Trouble Breaks Out Over
the Hosting of Employees.
Fears That the Strike May
Extend to Other Mines.

A strike was inaugurated at the Eber-
vale coliery of G. B. Markle & Co. yes
terday, and as a result the mine has
suspended operations and upwards OF
200 employees are idle.
The cause OF the strike, as given by
men employed at the collery, is due to
the refusal Of the company's foremen to
hoist miners to the surface when a
sufficient number have appeared at the
bottom of the slope.
On Wednesday evening twenty-one
miners appeared at the bottom of the
SLOPE and were awaiting the car which
would convey them to the surface. The
hour of quitting for the miners is
o'clock. AT that hour it was noticed
that instead OF the man-car being put
into service, the bottom man placed
another loaded car on the chain.
James Bowen, one of the waiting
miners, remarked that it was time to
put the stretcher on an empty car so
that the men could go home. The fore
man in charge at the point where the
men gather, announced that the loaded
car must be hoisted first. 1t appears
that some one then wrote instructions on
the car to the outside man to place u
stretcher on the car. The next car
down was thus equipped
As result OF that, Bowen was told to
report at Jeddo before he could do any
more work. Bowen refused to do this,
and reported for work yesterday morn
ing as usual. He descended the slope
and was on his way to his work when
foreman informed him that he could
not 60 to work until he saw the higher
officials. Bowen took his dinner pail
and left the mine. As he was passing
through the workings he was seen by
the workmen, who, learning of the diff
Guilty, laid down their tools and followed
him. In half an hour the entire slope
was devoid OF workmen, and in another
half hour the men at slope No. 3 were
out also.
Yesterday afternoon, at 4.30 o'clock,
the men met and selected a committee
to confer with Superintendent Smith.
The committee met that official and late
last evening reported to the miners.
After hearing the report Of the commit
tee it was decided that the men shall
not work today nor until the grievance
is adjusted
Fears are entertained that the strike,
II not soon settled, may extend to the
other colieries operated by Markle &
Co. II such should be the case, over
$500 men and boys would be thrown
idle and Freeland would receive hard
blow.
The matter today was placed by the
Ebervale miners in the hands OF the
executive board OF District No. 7, OF the
United Mine Workers.

A Cooking Closet.

The latest thing in architecture is the
buffet or cooking closet to take the
place of the kitchen in small apart
ments. In one such apartment, which
consists Of parlor, sleeping room, din
ing room and bathroom, n small room
adjoining the dining room about six
feet square is fitted up with sink
gas range and a few shelves. Here the
mistress of the tiny menage may pre-
pare her dainty meals and take no ex-
ira and useless steps. In the pantry
next to the buffet is refrigerator and
space for upplies.-Brooklyn Eagle.

That there is value still in iron

week IN certified check for

the mining business and wholly
dissolved from any of the steel
