The Tribune bulletin, posted In the
West Scranton branch Office at Jen-
kins' drug store, corner of Main ave.
nuc and jackson street, at $40 O'Clock
last evening, was the first announce
ment of the strike received from the
miners convention at Hazleton, and
the news spread like wildfire through-
out West Scranton.
Hundreds Of mine workers soon gath
cred about the corners to learn the
news, and for several hours remained
in groups along Main avenue and jack
son street. discussing the particulars.
The prevailing opinion previous to that
time was that a strike would not be
declared, and not few of them ex-
pressed their disappointment at the
result.
The question of the engineers and
pump-runners quitting work Is still OF
much concern, in view Of the fact that
they sent letter to the convention
with District President Nichols, ask
ing that they be excluded from the
body of strikers. What effect this will
have will probably be determined at to-
days session Of the convention.
At the meetings of the engineers,
Dump-runners and mine machinists of
Local union No. SO3, held in Jayne's
hall Monday morning and evening,
they voted against strike and so in
structed their delegates to the conven-
tion.
A large amount Of unprepared coal is
now side-tracked between Diamond
shaft and breaker. and the latter will
he in operation today, for the purpose
Of breaking and screening this coal.
The operators Of the Oxford mine,
the Peoples Coal company, have made
a proposition to their men to work
three days a week to supply the local
demand, promising them that no coal
will be loaded for shipment. No action
has as yet been taken by the men on
this proposition.
The effect Of the strike in this COM
munity will be far-reaching. Already
some Of the merchants have dispensed
with the services Of clerks, and other
dismissals are likely to follow.
Everything in West Scranton is at
a. standstill at present on account of
the strike, and the idle miners have
been reinforced by a large number
of trainmen, who have been affected
by the suspension of work.

was loved by everybody who came in
contact with her. AS Il wife she was
devoted to her husband and home and
as a friend she was true and kind
During the many weary days of Illness
her surroundings were frightened by
flowers and visitations from those who
in life cherished her friendship. AS n
member of the Washburn Street Pres
byterian church, Mrs. Walker always
upheld the true spirit and teachings of
Christian. The funeral services will
be conducted at the house tomorrow

DEMOCRATS SEND
OUT INSTRUCTION
Election Officers Furnished
With Rules They Must
Garry Out

In all probability there never was a
time when the Democrats so carefully
instructed their election officers than
they have at this time. Instructions
and orders have been given out not
only in this county, but all over the
State. In the first place they will in
sist that whenever a voters assistant
mars a ballot for a voter that it be
done in the presence Of the other
.assistantIhis is the law, and theDemo-
cratic leaders say that they will see that
it is enforced.
All the Democratic clerks Of the cleo
ton throughout the State have been
given orders that when they place their
initials on the corner of the ballots
that mark be made so that the bal
lots can be made so that the ballots can
lots can be identified in case they think
it is necessary after the election.
Extra precaution will be taken to pre-
vent ballots from bsing taken out Of
the voting place. If one ballot is taken
out of a booth it would forge a link in
an endless chain, which would make
vote-buying easy.
These are only a few of the most i'm
portant instructions given the Demo
cratic election Officers. The orders have
been prepared. and some of the elec-
tion Officers lave already fece. ,ed THEN
