Striking Teac hers Return.

After being on strike for five weeks
the teachers of Pittstown township re-
turned to their school Friday morning,
having gained nothing but further
promise from the school directors.
They struck last November for back
salaries and were out three months
The directors promised to pay. School
was resumed. No pay was forthcoming,
and the second strike occurred, one
thousand children having long holi-
day.
Friday morning the schools were re-
opened because it has been found neces-
sary, in order to get the state appropria-
tion, to hold the schools open seven
months each school year, and there is
now only time to crowd in the seyen
before June /.
The teachers have been promised the
appropriation and, in order to it, thoy
must teach out the term.

The Borough Statement.

The annual financial statement of
Freeland borough is published today in
another column. The statement is
worthy of the perusal of every taxpayer.
1t shows that the present council has
done excellent work in reducing the
borough's Indebtedness during the past
year.
A year ago the outstanding orders
amounted to S2,555.51. Council has
succeeded in reducing this to ST., ,3l3 81,
which represents clear gain to the
borough of S1,241.67
The excess of resources over liabilities
has increased during the past twelve
months from 81, 4s4 66 to SO, ,636 "a

the gentlemen to whom the voters have
intrusted the government of our town.

May Run for Congress.

George d. McCreary, who is well
known here by reason of his serving for
several years past as chairman of the
closing exercises of the M. & NJ. Insti-
tute, will probably be the Republican
candidate for congress in the new Sixth
district OF that city. Mr.. McCreary is
the only man who ever served as treas
urer OF Philadelphia who was satisfied
with the salary attached to the Office
and turned all fees back into the treas
ury. He lost about $50, 900 by his hon
esty, and was laughed to scorn by the
machine politicians, but he went out of
office with the respect Of all decent
Philadelphians.

IN THE LOCAL FIELD.
In the vicinity of Freeland every mine
worker is idle, excepting those whom
the union has given permission to work.
The whistles OF Coke Bros. e Co. and
Pardee & Co. blew for no work Saturday
evening. The Drfton company collect
ed the keys Of the blacksmith and car
penter shops at each mine and notified
the foremen OF these shops that they
would be sent for when needed. AT all
other collieries hereabouts the whistles
blew for work, but there was no res
ponse on the part Of the men.
The sale of coal was shut off on Sat
urday at 10 a. IN. by Coke Bros. & Co.,
and Freeland teamsters are unable to
fill the many orders they are carrying.
Many families in town have but a
scant supply of coal on hand. This is
also true OF the Freeland Brewing Com
pany and the Electric Light Company.
Both plants will have to shut down un
less they soon get coal. The Water
Company is said to have large stock
on the premises.
A majority of young men have made
preparations to leave town at once, II a
strike is declared, as all are Of the opn-
ion that contest now will be bitterly
and uncompromisingly fought.

Reckless Shooting.

Mike Barron is wanted by the local
police to answer charge of reckless
shooting on South Centre street Satur-
day evening. Barron escaped after his
Wild West exhibition, but If caught he
will be taught lesson. The authorities
have awakened to the fact that there is
too much unnecessary carrying of wea-
pons in this vicinity, and prisoners who
are found with revolvers and knives in
their possession may expect to be severe
ly dealt with.

NEW YORK VIEWS.

A statement from New York says that
the fact that the miners had decided to
suspend work was surprise to the
operators. President Truesdale, of the
Lackawanna; President Baer, OF the
Reading, and Chairman Thomas, of the
Erie, who were the employers on the
conference committee with the labor
representatives, had been confident all
along that there would be no strike.
John Edmunds, New York agent of
the Reading Railway, said: "The COM
panies have large supply of coal,
which will last several months. Even
should the strike order be reaffirmed

SUSPENSION
OF WORK
All Anthracite Collieries
Are Idle Today.
Mine Workers and the Pub
lie Waiting for the Deci-
sion of the Convention to
Meet at HazIeton.

In compliance with the order issned
on Friday evening by National Presi-
dent Mitchell and District Presidents
Nichols, Duffy and Fahey, all anthracite
mine workers, excepting pumpmen, en-
gineers, fremen and others whose alb
sence from their posts would injure the
mines, ceased work on Saturday even
ing, and as result every colliery in the
anthracite region is idle today.
This suspension will continue until
the convention of the United Mine
Workers, which has been called to meet
at Hazleton on Wednesday, decides
whether or not strike shall be de-
clared
The local unions of the United Mine
Workers are meeting today throughout
the region to elect delegates to the
Hazleton convention. The basis OF
representation in this convention will
be one delegate for each 100 mem bers.
Most of the delegates will go to the
convention with instructions how to
vote on the strike question, consequent
ly the decision of the convention may
be accepted as representing the senti-
ment of the miners.
BY this method the duty of deciding
whether or not the strike shall be de-
cared is shifted from the shoulders of
President Mitchell and the other Off
cials to those of the great body of
miners. What this decision will be no
one now knows.
There are some rumors that the miners
may decide to postpone the fight until
the fall and other rumors are to the
effect that most OF the miners are in
favor of beginning the contest now and
having it out.
STRIKE SENTIMENT DIVIDED.
As to the general feeling of the miners,
that is hard to ascertain. 1t is general
ly reported that In the district composed
of upper Luzerne and Lackawanna
counties the most of the men are in
favor of a strike, while those in the Le-
high and Schuylkill regions are not
so much in favor of it, The upper end,
it is believed, will have a majority in
the convention.
AS about every man working about
the mines is at present organized, II
strike should occur probably every
man will respond. There are some
fremen who are not mine workers, but
belong to their separate organization,
but it is thought that they will come
out in sympathy with the miners. The
places of the engineers and firemen who
go out will probably be filled by the
companies by bosses and other unorgan-
ICED employees. In this way an effort
will be made to keep the fans and pumps
going.

ANOTHER POLICEMAN GOES.
No One Will Be Appointed in NORTH
lands Place.

A. L. Morthland, one of the Stahl 20
Iiceman, was removed from office today
by Mayor Parker, in the interests of
economy. No one will be appointed to
take Mr.. Morthland's place. There were
no charges against Mr.. Morthland.
Mayor Parker is said to be planning
several other removals from the police
force, for the purpose of saving the city
so much expense in that department.
When Mayor Parker was asked today
concerning his plans for the reduction of
the police force he said: Il don't think
that any plan has been decided upon. We
expect to save expense wherever we
can
Councilman J. S. Warner, a member
of the police committee, said: There
may be some reductions in the police
force. The city will not keep anyone
on the pay roll that it can dispense
with
The mayor and councilmen were very
much impressed by what the Lincoln,
Neb., officials told them. AT Lincoln the
entire police department has only seven
patrolmen, according to Mayor Winnett.
In Topeka there are usually from 20 to
rs patrolmen. There is considerable anx-
iety among the members of the police
force lest the mayor and council should
decide to cut down the Topeka force to
match the one at Lincoln. If the force
of patrolmen in Topeka should be re-
duced from 20 to 10, it would mean a
saving of $500 a month to the city, or
SC, 900 a year.

positively that he will not run for gov
