THE FIREMEN'S STRIKE.
Pumps Arc Idle and Mine Owners
Lose Money.

scranton, Pa, July 11.-Thcre Is an
almost complete cessation of mining
operations in the Lackawanna valley
because of the strike of stationary fire
men. Less than Il half dozen mines
managed by individual owners and the
group of Delaware Lackawanna and
Western railroad mines in the West
Scranton district were the only ones In
satisfactory shape for running when
the whistles blew.
The small operators had granted the
eight hour demand, and the tiremen at
the Lackawannas mines refused to
quit, being affiliated with the United
Mine Workers of America and not with
the Stationary Firemen's association.
The latter are fortified in their Dyn'sio..
10y lIIe action of the executive Doafd Oh
District No. 1, United Mine Workers,
which has decided that all tiremen, en-
gineers, machinsts and pump runners
who are members of the organization
should remain mt work until otherwise
ordered by the district officers on the
authority of President Mitchell and the
national executive board.
General Superintendent LOOMS OF

ToNsoRIAL INSPECTOR.
Secretary Eoard of Health Looking
Up Question Barber Inspector.

Secretary Cahill Of the Board OF
Health is looking up the question of an
inspector of barber shops whose duty
it would be to see that the law regard
ing sanitary regulations for BARRIERS is
carried ont. The appointment of an in
Spector by the board for this purpose
has been asked for by the BARRIERS
board of examiners, and yesterday Mr..
lIorner consulted with Secretary Cahll
about the matter, both going over the
law providing for the examiners and
prescribing their duties.
Though they have reached no decision
AS yet the members of the Board of
Health are not disposed to take upon
themselves the appointment of an in
Spector. The board has no money to
pay the salary which would 90 into the
office as its annual appropriation is only
$3.50. The members feel that if the board
Of examiners think an inspector is neces-
saiy they should provide for him them
selves. At any rate it looks as though
the Board Of Health can do nothing III
the matter unless its appropriation is IN
creased by Council. John III. Nesslein
and Charles II. Boyle are candidates
for the position of inspector.
