PlMKERT0N DETECTIVES
EMPLOYED BY STRIKERS
Hired to Trace Records of Nom Union
Men Engaged to Take Their
Places.

louisville. Pa, June For the
first time in the history Of labor organ
izations. Pinkerton detectives have been
employed By strikers. During the past
two weeks it became known to officials
OF the United Mine Workers that hun
dreds OF men from New York and Phila-
delphia we're brought to the anthracite
coal region by the corporations to act
as deputies. Many were said to have
had long careers as criminals.
The officials of the miners. acting
through lawyers in Philadelphia. hired
number Of Pinkerton detectives to
trace up the records CT the suspected
men as soon as their names were
learned.
The result Of the investigation by the
detectives is now in the hands of the
strike leaders, and will be held for fu-
ture use.
1t is said that the Pinkerton men iii
not know that they were in the employ
of strikers.
AT o'clock tonight trains containing
several hundred coal and iron police
men were sent out to the collieries from
here by the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron Company. All the non
union pumpmen who will take the places
of the strikers were ordered by the
Philadelphia and Reading Company to
report for work before daybreak to-
morrow morning.
The men who take the places of the
strikers will net return home for sew
eral weeks. 1t would not be safe for
them to do so. They will eat and sleep
at the mines and their families will be
protected by coal and iron policemen.

HIGH SCHOOL GAMES.
Student Athletes Taking Daily Prac-
tice for Next Fridays Contest.

Georgetown Field is daily the scene
of practice by the entrants from the
various local high schools for the ar
nual track and field championships to
be held on that field next Friday after
noon.
The rivalry between the schools is in
tense. and this year the work in the
various events promises TO be OF a high
er class than heretofore. because OF the
enrolment Of number of performers
who last year showed considerable abil-
ity in their special events.
Dick Dear. the clever sprinter entered
by Central. never was in better shape
than he is now. His recent defeat at
the Y. NJ. c. \. meet was largely due
TO having competed in the 100 and 220
yards in the intcrschoiastic games given
at Philadelphia the day before. He won
those two events in handy style.
Bristol and Kert are two other very
clever performers who are expected to
bring victory to Central. Tech and
the Eastern, as well IS the Business
school. claim to be better equipped than
ever before to make a strong fight for
the annual honors. and altogether the
meet promises to be one Of the most
the athletic association OF
the nigh schools has ever held.

COMPLETE TIE-UP OF
PUMPS NOT EXPECTED
Companies Around Pittston Preparing
to Care for Men at the Mines.

PITTSTON, Pa, June 1.-The prevail
ing sentiment is that those who have
been anticipating complete tie-up will
be disappointed, for 1t is thought there
will be few OF the collieries seriously
affected. although many OF them will be
greatly inconvenienced. All day yester-
day and today teams were busy hauling
provisions and cooking utensils to the
collieries.
The policy Of the company is no secret.
The employees who stand by them will
be properly taken care Of at least dur
ing ;he present struggle. They will live
at their work.
Although this means big sacrifices to
the men. they will be free from any at
tacks and will not he liable to be in
nuenced by intimidations The companies
have been careful to stake off their
property lines, and at those collicrics
where high board barricades have not
been erected. the properties have been
wired or roped off and the guards will
warn people to keep outside the limits
The stevens Coal Company. an indi-
vidual concern, with two mine openings,
is the first to recognize the men and
grant concessions. Yesterday they offer
ed their pumpmen an advance of 16
cents per day and the men accepted and
will remain at work
The firemen at this colliery and also
at the twin colliery OF the Lehigh Valley

Every material detail of the great
steamship combination has been complet-
ed and the merger of interests is now so
complete that none of the parties to the
combination could withdraw without
years of legal complications. Nearly all
the papers necessary to the deal have
been signed. AS a result of the success
full termination of the negotiations, it is
announced that all that is now necessary
to be accomplished is to appoint the chief
officials and make them acquainted with
the policy of the company. Another step
taken by the combination is the placing
of certain ships that it owns in more
satisfactory fields of labor than they are
now employed in. The Red Star line
steamers Kensington and Southwark,
now engaged in the Antwerp-New York
trade, have been turned over to the Do
miniOn line, which is part Of the combine,
and next year will run on that company's
route between Liverpool and Queenstown
and Montreal.

MILLIONS FOR IRRIGATION.

Mammoth Canal to Divert Waters Of
the Loup in Nebraska.
The Nebraska Central Irrigation Com
pany has completed arrangements for the
construction Of a 100000 power and
irrigation canal, and the work of building
it will begin in a short time. The canal
will divert the water of the Loup river
from point near West Point through
the canal to an immense reservoir near
Columbus. From this reservoir the water
will have a fall of ninety feet, with an
outlet into the Platte river, and besides
furnishing 10000 horse power will irri-
gate several thousand acres of land
