Between Saturday evening and yes
terday morning a mean outrage was
perpetrated on number of contrac-
tors in the Delaware and Hudson COL
liery by some miserable and vicious
miscreant, who visited the places of
the contractors in the colliery and de-
stroyed their tools. Pick handles and
scoop handles were cut or parts taken
nv nf CT "a
the headings. All the men whose tools
We're destroyed are either driving head
ings or airways. The men are natur-
ally incensed at such outrageous work,
and it is too bad the culprit was not
caught at it. AS a specimen of mean
ness, this is about the worst case that
has occurred in the neighborhood for
some time.
