Workers of America, accuses the coal
operators, through their foremen and
superintendente, Of making a deter
mined effort to dis the mine work.
ers' organize u oy threats, intimida-
tion and discrimination. The latest
attempt to disrupt the union. the mine
leader says. began when the men re-
turned to work, and has been going on
systematically ever since. The opera
tors, so the union leaders allege, are
leaving no stone unturned to accom-
plish their purpose.
Officers of district No. 1 have taken
the matter up. The officers of the un-
ion say they have evidence to show
where foremen and superintendents at
various collieries have been making
every effort to induce the men to leave
the union, and several cases have been
reported where mine foremen tried to
frighten men into discontinuing their
membership in the organization.
Mr.. Nichols said that the union
would insist on the members being
treated fairly. The union will stand by
the men, no matter what the result.
The executive board also decided Satur-
day afternoon upon augmenting the re-
lief to men who have been unable to
secure their old places because Of dis
elimination against them.
Markle and Coke Men May Go Back.
Hazleton, Pa, Nov 10. - The en-
ployes of G. B. MarlIle & Co. held a
Injecting this afternoon, at which 1t is
believed they will agree in body to
abide by the findings of the arbitration
commission. Upon their return to
work the officers will not ask them to
sign an agreement to be governed by
the findings of the commission, but in
stead will ask: Were you present at
the meeting?" II answered in the af-
frmative, their name and age will be
asked, after which a brass check, bear
ing thei. number, viii be handed to
them. Thirteen men cannot return.
Employees of Coke Bros. & Co. are
hopeful that existing grievances will
be amicably adjusted, and that they
will be able to return to work tomor-
row. President stearns, of the Della
ware, Susquehanna and Schuylkill
Railroad Company, met committees
from the various collieries today to dis
Icuss grievances which prompt them to
remain away from work.
All men on strike who have been re-
fused employment will be provided for
until matters in the Lehigh region have
been finally settled.
Nearly all of the deputies employed
during the strike have been discharged,
and the bedding, cooking utensile, ETC.,
nre being stored for future use.
No attempt has been made to free
the Sandy Run mines of water, and the
residents of the town are preparing to
move. It looks at present as if the
town would be abandoned.

CONFESSED TO
SHOOTING WOMAN
Crime at FirstWas a Mystery
But Was Later Solved
by Police
STANLEY GERRICK HELD BY POLICE
Was Arrested Late Last Night and
Admitted This Morning That He Ac-
cidentally Shot His Victim injured
Woman May Recover

While walking along Maryland ave-
nue. last evening about O'Clock. Mrs
Josephine Powalski. aged 60 years, oil
No. 1856 Bird street, was mystcriously
shot by an unknown would-be assassin
Tho bullet entered her back and she fell
to the pavement I'm front OF the board
irg house of Uladislaw WladowslSi. No
cause rs known why anyone should
have shot her. as she has always been
kind woman and was beloved by the
Poles, whom sha greatly assisted. es-
pecially those OF tho poorer and unfor-
tunate claes.
Stanley Cerrick. a boardor In the
house Of WladOwski, HAS been arrested
on suspicion OF doing the shooting, and
the latter was detained as a witness.
Sergeant White and Officers Jacko-
bOski and Ford were detailed en- the
case and they arrested Gerriclx at mid
night. When his room was searched a
revolver and box OF cartridges were
found. The pistol was unloaded. but
The barrel was begrimed and looked as
If it had been recently used. Il was
found that the two men had been TO
Polish club at Front and Monroe
streets early in the evening and had
been drinking.
Elsie Nominuroski, living at No 113
l. gan street was the only witness OF
the affair. She said she saw two men
cross Maryland avenue and pass be-
tween Mrs. PowalslI and herself. At
the same time she heard the report Of
L. revolver, then covered her face with
her hands, and did not see who fired
the Shot or what became OF the men.
The police are inclined to believe
that If Garrick committed the deed it
was because he was intoxicated. ami
playfully fired the revolver and the
bullet struck Mrs. Powalsh.
The physicians of the Delaware Hos
pitai where the injured woman is re-
ceiVing treatment, prCbed for the bull
let iast night, but could not find It.
Gerrick was arraigned in CITY Court
this morning and his case was con-
unued until Saturday morning. He ad-
mitted to the police. however. that he
did the shooting. but claimed that IL
was done accidentally as he only de-
sired TO scare Wladowsbi with whom
he had been out drinking.
Gerrick shot between his landlords
legs and the bullet in some unaccount-
able manner. lodged in Mrs Powalskis
back, evidently having struck the pave
ment frs, and bouncing upward.

Sellers A pleasing feature of the SER
vice was a number of vocal selections
by a quartet from the Mardigal Club.
Of Baltimore.
Chaplain Jones' remarks IN reference
to men in the navy proved unusually
interesting.
He began his talk by saying that Il
appeared 20 be the existing opinion on
the part of a great many that the navy
is made up entirely Of rowdies and
friends OF the gin-mill The speaker
contended that this impression wac
wholly wrong and he declared that the

The police are still baffled by the J.,
robberies which are committed nightly. |
despite the fact that Chief Of Police
Black and two-thirds of his force are
on duty Cay and night.
Within the past few weeks there has
been a score of burglaries. Suspected !
men have been shadowed night and
day, but sufficient evidence to warrant
an arrest being made has not been Sc
cured. There are two classes OF thieves
at work, those who take nothing hut
money and valuable jewelry, and an
other gang which will steal anything.
Stole Boarders' Meat
Late on Saturday might CT early
Sunday morning thieves entered the
boarding house of Mrs EmTa Price,
No. 704l5 Market street. They did not
ind anything there and then turned
their attention 10 the large ice box out
side the kitchen door. From II they
took several chickens, roasts Of beef,
hams and other meat which had been
purchased for the Sunday meals. The
only meat left was a little dried beef.
Consequently the bOarders were on
short rations yesterday
There Is no clue to the thieves.

On Saturday morning carly thieves
forced an entrance to the house of Po-
liceman Cornish, No. sol jefferson
street, and stole $40 After ransack-
ing the house the burglars flashed a
light in Mrs. Cornishs face, awaken
ing her.

A man who claims that he and his
pal have been doing much of the loot
ing here has written a letter to the

fun Of the police. He tells how he
committed some of the robberies.
The letter was enclosed in blue en-
velope and bears the postmaTk OF the
Broad Street Station sub-office. It
reached the Philadelphia postoifice at
o'clock yesterday afternoon. 1t was
received at the local pOstoffice at $50
O'Clock last night but was net deliv-
cred to the Evening Journal office un-
til o'clock this morning The letter
from its appearance was written by a
person who has more intelligence than
the average thief.

Dear Sir:
Now that we are safely back in

could out of the robberles, for slow

the nature of reports which come from

The number bought is larger and the
price paid is greater than at any time
since j. Edward Addicks entered the

become that those who formerly OPP
posed IL, and were looked upon as be-
