They Decide to Return to Work.
Having Accomplished Nothing.

HAzLEToE, Pa, Feb 11.-Another coal
strike has come to an end. the Mine
Workers Union being beaten. Nineteen
days ago the s35 men and boys employed
by c. Pardee & Co.. at the Lattimer col
lieries, went on strike because the firm
refused to reinstate two discharged men.
Since then not a stroke of work has
been done. and ii seemed likely That the

months rather than aecede to the de-
mands of the union. \ committee called

him to reinstate all the men. The super
intendent declared himself ready 20 do
this excepting the two men in question.

Raising Salaries.
At the next meeting of the city coun-
Gil the committee appointed to fix the
salaries of all incoming city officers
will make their report. The mayors
salary will doubtless be raised and the
clerks is likely to remain as hereto
fore with a possible reduction of his
emOluments, for there is some talk of
divOrcing the office of city clerk and
recorders clerk, which have for many
months been filled by the same man.
In that event the city clerks revenues
will be cut down to the extent of $50
per months leaving only s125, as it
was before the recorders court clerk
ship was added.
In event the recorders clerk is made
a separate office there will doubtless be
a scramble to get the office. for it pays
$50 per month with about ten minutes
work each day. Any business man
could fill it and not lose any time from
hes regular vocation. Next to the city

sitiOn, with the least work attached of
