at No. 81, Japan, within six days. The
time will expire on Friday and an eyic-
ton is one OF the probabilities, as
Rodgers will not vacate his home on a
si1-days notice.
From appearances and the nature Of
the talk INDUCED in by the employe es
of the Jeddo firm, Friday evenings
meeting will be well attended. The
men are apparently in earnest that the
matters in dispute be adjusted different
from the present understanding, and,
as 90s4 per cent of the total number of
mine workers employed by Marke &
Co. are members Of the union, tho action
Of the meeting will be binding on all.
Short as the time has been since Mr.
Markle's reply was received, the griev-
ances have been passed upon by tho
district organization and by this time
have reached the headquarters of thu

the stores shall be closed every evening
at the hour stated, except on Saturdays
and the general pay days.
The stores which are to abide by the
agreement are those which sell groceries,
provisions, dry goods, clothing, shoes,
furnishings, hardware, furniture and
carpet. The dealers in meats have been
governed for some time past by rules
which regulate their closing hour each
night.
The early closing movement will be
given its first test tonight, as yesterday

therefrom.

MARKLE'S men
ARE CALLED
Employes Of Jeddo Firm to
Meet in Freeland.
Company Refuses to Salts
factorily Adjust Grievances
and Union Accepts the
Challenge.

On behalf of G. B. Markle & Co..
John Markle on Monday evening gave
his answer to certain requests Of the
grievance committee Of the employees of
his firm. This answer, and the fact
that the firm has in other ways acted
inimical to what the men consider their
interests, has caused District President
Duffy, OF the United Mine Workers, to
issue an order for a general meeting
Of the union employees of Markle e Co.
This meeting will be held in the audi
torum OF the Grand opera house, Free
land, on Friday evening.
On March 90 last the grievance com
mittee asked for the resembling OF an
order issued by the firm which com
PEELED certain men employed at Eber-
vale coliery to work on contract. In
the breasts complained OF the miners
are unable to produce more than three
cars of coal per day, the thickness OF
the vein being about five feet, in which
a seam of honey coal has appeared,
necessitating extra cleaning, If the
miners wish to avoid dockage offsets.
Each miner in these breasts employe ed
two laborers. After paying the latters'
expenses and allowing for the powder
consumed, less than 81 a day remained
for the miner Not satisfied with this
sum as compensation for their days
toll, the miners ceased work and plac-
ed the matter in the hands of the griev-
ance committee.
The committee presented the com
plants to the firm, requesting that the
order be rescinded and the breasts work
ed on days wages, or that the affected
miners and their laborers be given work
elsewhere under the company.
After nearly three weeks delay, during
which time the committee could receive
no satisfaction at the Office of the firm,
they were called to Jeddo Monday even
ing and their requests peremptorily re-
fused by Mr.. Markle, with the addition
al notification that IL the affected men
did not return to work next morning
they could consider themselves discharg-
ed.
When the substance OF Mr.. Markle's
reply was made known the Indignation
of the firms employees became very great,
and II it were not that the leaders and
officers Of the various locals counseled
delay and insisted tnat every effort be
exhausted to procure an amicab bic ad-
justment of the difficulty the collieries
OF the firm would have been idle yester-
day.
Last evening meetings attended by
nearly every member were held by the
Ebprvale Jeddo and Freeland (Second
ward) locals, all of which are composed
OF Markle's employees. The action taken
is not public property yet.
Another matter which is adding to
the tension is the case of Anthony
Rodgers, OF Japan, who has been dis
charged for refusing to work with a
non-union man from the Second ward.
Rodgers has not only been discharged,
but on Friday last was served by Markle

1.-The Elimination Of jefferson.

MIR. Editor We have Just read
in the Clyde Herald, Kansas
paper, quite long article on the
elimination of Jefferson by Dir.
W. O. Perkins, former resident of
this town. If he had claimed that
the Democratic party had departed
from the principles of its 'llnstrlous
leader no one could dispute the just
ness of the rebukc; but it seems an
attempt to cast dishonor on the
memory Of Thomas jefferson. whose
name with Washington, Adams and
others, stands emblazoncd in the
history of our republic as an inspird.
ton to all true patriots irrespective
Of party. In Mr.. Evcrctt's culogv
on Adams and Jefferson. he says:
"They left all for their country'S
sake. Who does not see that they
might have risen to any station III
the British empire: They might
have revcllcd in the royal bounty,
they might have stood within the
shadow of the throne. Many were
the inducements that called them to
another choicc.--the pleadings OF
friendship, the warnings OF their
hearts toward the land OF their

ed. but the whole thing was blazoned
about in few hours after the cabinet

for his cabinet TO talk over this leak.
Each man had different idea Of it.
Finally Mr.. Webster arose, saying,
"You, gentlemen, 60 on with your dis:
cussiOn, and I'll be back In a minute"
In few minutes he returned and re,
peated every word that had been spo-

explained that If, by standing close to

The new local option league finds
itself short vicc-prcSidcut or two,
as several men who were put on the
list have FASTENED to state publicly
that they had no sympathy with the
new organization and its aims and
that their names were used without
their consent. What their private
opinions are, rs unlOoscd to a limit
ed audience, might be a different
story. If the new league has taken
anyone by surprise in asking him to
make public avowal of his senti-
ments it deserves severe ccnsurc,
though this is not legislative year.
''Some of the state papers have
discovered that Percival W. Glenn

was organized principally to further
his personal ambition,' remarks the

good Of the community and of the
country at large, but talk Of such

Vermont Republicans - who are

together. and at each succeeding
election find themselves, so far as
material progress and enlightenment
are concerned. Just about where they
were before.
