TALKING or EWARTS SUCCESSOR
There We're Several Political Meetings
Held on SATURDAY.

At the conference in the Office OF
Robert G. Houston on Saturday, it is
said that the election of a successor
TO S. Frank Ewart, levy courtman, was
discussed. Mr.. Ewart was appointed
by Governor HUM to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of John
Lynn, and there is a question whether
Mr.. Ewart's term ends in November
or whether he should remain in office
for the term for which Lynn was
elected.
This doubt could be removed, - said
a well-lnown politician" by Mr.
Ewart presenting his resignation in
October. and then the Governor could
reappOint him to fill the vacancy
There would be no necessity then fOI
the election of a Levy COurtman."
The Union Republicans on Saturday
made up the lists from which Cover
nor HUM will select the registration
officers to be allotted to the Union Re
Dublicans.
In the Young Mems Democratic Clul
the Democratic County COmmitte'

Commended

The State Library Commission has
recently issued its handbook, which
was compiled by Miss Florence Bayard

probation from the Library Commits

indeed and admirably adapted to help
the library cause in any State-it
covers the ground admirably" The
editor of Public Libraries AYERS that
next to ]. G. Dana's Library Printer
il contains the most comprehensive
collection of any thing we know of,
and with these and similar endorse
ments from without the State, the
State Library Commission hopes that
it's handbook will not be without hon
or in its own country and that it will
prove. useful to all librarians Of Ii
hraries.

the library law OF 1901; and the ad-
mirable little synopsis of it, prepared

love Hayes, the handbook gives q com
plete list of the incorporated towni

Scranton. Pa. May 12.-There was
no coal mined in the Scranton end
OF the anthracite region today. Evel
though the strike order was not reli-
giously obeyed there could be no min
ing. as the companies agreed &C
meeting of the general managers and
superintendent on Saturday, that no
attempt would be made TO operate.
Some OF the companies kept few OF
their washeries running to insure a
supply of culm for locomotives, hoist
ing engines and the like The com
panies will not admit that the agree
ment TO refrain from an attempt at
operating is eventually to resolve
itself into lockout should events at
Hazleton make such a thing pos
sible.
The strike has already made itself
seriously felt in other lines OF work.
The railroads have laid off fourflfths
of their coal train crews, in all about
500 men, and the Erie shops at Dun
more, where mine cars and machinery
are repaired, have been shut down in
definitely, throwing 300 men out of
employmen.
Meetings Of all the locals were held
today to elect and instruct the dele
gates to the Hazleton convention. The
sentiment among the more thoughtful
and intelligent miners is opposed to
a continuance of the strike. These
men will use as one of their chief argu-
ments the significant fact that the
companies bosses are not soliciting
their men to vote against the strike
while at the same relative time in the
last strike these same bosses were
working day and night TO discourage
the men from striking.
The story that the Morganized fleets
will be used to import coal and pre-
vent famine does not cause Presi
dent Mitchell any evident concern. He
dismisses It with the remark that the
United States IS now exporting coal
70 all parts of the world.

Hazleton, Pa. May 12.-Anticipat-
ing the action of their employees, two
of the individual coal companies in
this region have practically locked out
their employees. This step was taken
on Saturday night, when Coke Bros.
g. Co., operating the Beaver Meadow
colliery, and Calvin Pardee, Sons &
Co, owners Of the Lattimpr mines, no
titled their employees that they need
not report for work untA ordered so
70 do. This order does mot apply TO
engineers. fremen and pump runners,
whose services are necessary TO keep
the mines free from water. These
companies, It is believed, expect a
long struggle, and thNs belief is
strengthened by the fact that at Lat
timer work has been suspended on
the rebuilding OF a fan house that was
burned last week, and whose recon.
struction was necessary to prevent
the accumulation of gases in one part
Of the slope.
The Lehigh Valley Coal Company
