Stationary Firemen of Pennsylvania
Demand Higher Pay.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, July 16.--The
strike order of President Mulahy, of the
Stationary Firemen's Association of
pennsylvania, was promptly obeyed at
Z o'clock this morning, when 900 mem
bers of the organization in this section
OF the state refused to go to work Most
of the strikers are employed as firemen
at the coal mtnes, and their failure to
report for duty caused nearly all tho
collieries in the northern, anthracite re-
gion to suspend operations, throwing out
OF work, 1t is estimated, 10000 men and
boys. Some of the individual coal Cd.
orators conceded the demands of their
employees on condition that the short
hour day was not to hold If the men
employed 10y the big companies did not
get the same concessions.
The big coal companies, however, re-
fused to make any concessions.
The employers contended that the de-
mands of the firemen were unreasonable;
that they had received a 10 per cent al
vance at the time the wages of the min
ers We're raised last fall, and the de-
mands now made upon the companies are
equal to a 20 per cent advance,
The strikers held a meeting in this city
shortly before noon. Reports We're re-
ceived from all the districts, and they
showed that the strike from Pittsburg
to Shickshinny in this Nuzerne) county
was general and that the coal COM
panies were unable to procure new men
to take the places of the strikers, al
though it was claimed they had made
desperate efforts to do so. The best they
could do, it was said. was to press fore
men and fire bosses, into the service.
This was done at a great many of the
mines. Somebody had to do It. because
| there was danger of great damage be-
ing done by water and the accumula-
tion of gas The strikers claim that the
engineers are friendly to them, and that
they will not work with non-union men.
President Mullahy said tonight that he
! had information from all over the north
ern region and that men were standing
| firm and that the engineers were with
! them. He said the coal companies would
| be unable to get new men, and the
strike would soon come to an end.
At the headquarters of the operators
| 1t was said that the demands of the
strikers would not be entertained, and as
soon as new men could be secured opera
! tions would be, resumed
The duration of the strike will depend
upon themselves If they stand by the
striking firemep, the lock out may be a
long one, but if the miners return to
work as soon as the companies fill the
| places of the strikers the strike will be
| lost to the firemen. Despite reports tC
| the contrary sent out from United Mine
Workers headquarters, it is known that
q difference of opinion exists between
the miners and the ffremen The miners
think the strike inopportune and that the
firemen should have waited until April
next before pressing their demands.

NO CONFERENCE


NEW YORK. July 1s.-At the close OF
the day today a representative of the
highest interests in the United States
Steel corporation authorized the state
ment that no conference concerning the
steel STRIKE had taken place during the
day, and none is likely to take place until
the Amalgamated association recedes
from its present attitude
The additional statement is made that
on this point there can be no coT1pro-
mise and that the heads of the constitu-
ent companies will not unionize such
mills as have, up to this time, employed
non-union men.
j. F., Morgan would not be quoted at
all about the strike nor would any Of
his partners In fact all other officers
of the United States Steel corporation
were most reticent, so much so that
those who talked about it on Monday
refused even TO see newspaper reporters
today.
Charles M Schwab, president of the
corporation, is reported to have held
long conference with Mr.. Morgan in the
latters office at midday. When the ques-
ton whether an attempt would be at once
made to operate the closed mills with
non-union labor was sent in to Mr..
Schwab, he sent back word that he was
too busy to be interviewed
The telegraph department of the
United States Steel corporation has direct
wires running to Pittbsurg These wires
were kept busy all day and thus the
officials were kept informd Of any
developments if any occurred.
The report from Pittsburg that there
would be conferences which would result
in some offer to the union men, was not
borne out by the days events. Yet an
other rumor Of the day was that officers
of the steel corporation had arranged
for force of detectives from a well
know agency for safeguarding the mills.

IT IS A THORN
IN THE FLESH.

THE Mutual Benefit Life Insurance
l. Company lis a thorn in the flesh"
of every life insurance agent, for every
other company doing business in this
or any other section of the United
States today, and has been for the past
so years. The foregoing statement is
absolutely true and may be easily Verl-
fled by any man who Will take the
trouble to do so. People are beginning
to realize that the statements and
claims made by life insurance agents
do not bind the companies they repre-
sent (0 unless written or printed IN
the POLICY CONTRACT, {, and they are
also learning that some policies do not
mean what a casual and inexperienced
reader would construe them to mean.
Every life insurance agent knows that
no company In the world has a record
that will surpass that of the Mutual
Benefit, and every agent also knows
that no company issues contract that
is so plain, simple and as easily under
stood by laymen, as this grand old
company does; and every layman
knows that it is the company that
agents almost always try to show
wherein their companies are "as good
or better" If you want the BEST
you should be sure to post yourself on
the Mutual Benefit before paying out
your money for insurance. / don't ex-
pect your application unless 1 can con-
vince you that I have absolutely the
BEST. SAM M. GRIST,
Special Agent.

We have reduced prices on almost ev-

when Strauss used to say Reduced

!Columbia State, Sunday: So far as
known there occurred for the first time
in the history of the state, a Weddlng

capitol yesterday. 1t took place In the
private Office of the chief executive ana

Governor McSweeney's second experl,
ence as a manipulation of the nuptlai
knot and he is getting to be quite an
adept. Yesterday he used appropriate
portions Of the Episcopal service and
was very solemn. The happy couple
were Mr.. Elliot Holmes Hall and
Miss Florence Isabella Shockley, a
handsome young woman. The Witness
es were officials and clerks about the
CAPITOL a few newspaper men, one or
two members Of the general assembly
and a friend of the groom. MRS. Hall
is a daughter of Mr.. Benjamin Shock

and well-to-do merchant OF tnat city.
She had been spending the Christmas

Shockley came thus far together. ON
the train they decided they would get
married. Both Mr.. Hall and the young
lady's rather being admirers of Cover
nor McSweeney, friend was sent back
to ask him to perform the ceremony
The governor readily assented. The
bridal party came from the Columbia
hotel about 3 o'clock and drove direct

met by Superintendent Of Education

girl, was gowned in tailor made
dress of drab material and wore large
chapeau. After securing the names,
the governor, prayer book in hand,
faced the couple and proceeded with
the ceremony. The responses were
given by each in clear voice. No ring
was used. After the ceremony the
governor shook hands with the bride
Then those present were introduced,
and after a brief season Of conversa-

pie drove to the union depot, whence
they took the train for the groom's field
