morning at o'clock by the state board
unless their demands are granted The
Hazleton region is under the advisement
of the state officials and subject to a call
on a few days notice.
The first contract ever entered into by an
anthraci coal corporation was signed this
morning by the officials of the kingston
Coal Company and the Parrish Company
of Plymouth and the state officials grant
ing the firemen an eight-hour day at 81. 20
per day, their demand.
Many local industries have granted the
demand and hourly reports bring others.
All but the mining companies will have
given in before three days are past. we
confidently believe, from the reports of our
district leaders
The engineers have emphatically refused
to work in all the territory now covered
by the strike, and have sacrificed their
positions in the firemens behalf. For the
state firemen, we, as officials, place our
selves on record as not returning to work
until every engineer has been return I'd to
his position. We extend grateful apprecia
tion to their organization.
Indications point to another victory. The
United Mine Workers are standing nohly
by us, and are giving every aid to cur
couSe.

DELAY on ARMY TRANSPORTS.
Orders Sent to Manila to Hurry the
Sheridan Back Home.

Owing to the delay in repairing the mil
itary transports Sherman and Logan on
the Pacific coast, on account of the strike
orders have been sent to Manila P. l., to
expedite the return to the United States of
the transport Sheridan. That vessel was
expected to sail for San Francisco several
days ago, but SO far as known has not yet
started on her journey. The tie-up of the
Sherman and Logan is interfering with the
Pacific transport service, and there is great
need for the return of the vessels of that
service now in the Philippines. The pres
ent plan is to have the Sheridan at San
FRANCISCO in time to permit her to start
back for Manila by the 1st of September.

terprises of the railway in question through
it's japanese steamship connections. Mr..
Hill adds that there is an ever-growing
and thriving trade between the Pacific

check owing to the tariff controversy be-
tween the United States and Russia, but
which is replete with incalculable opportu-
mites, II properly taken advantage of.
