RAILROAD MEN
WANT MORE PAY

There are omlnOus mutterlngs among
the railroaders in, and near Hazleton
over the reluctance of the coal roads
to grant a general wage increase.
The men are very Ieticent in regard
to their intentions, but from the
stray remarks let fall, strike is
probable, unless the transportation
companies do something to appease
the demands of the employees. The
railroaders are known to have made a
demand for q general advance, but
what answer, if any, has been made
is not known \ strike has already
been inaugurated on the Silver Bro Ok
division of the Jersey Central, al
though the cause asst gned is the dis
charge of three scale runners. a new
superintendent thought their work
could be done by the brakemen aud
conductors and issued orders that the
scale runners be dispensed with. The
brakemen, however, refused to do the
work and strike resulted.
A half dozen collieries will be
affected If the matter is not speedily
adjusted, and their suspension would
materially decrease the output of coal
from the Lehigh region. Railroaders
from Mauch Chunk, who were asked
to handle the trains Oh the Silver
brook division, have refused to take
the strikers places.

Good order and due regard for law,

COLDER WEATHER
FOLLOWS THAW

The warmer weather of Tuesday
with the rain which followed finished
ur both the sleighing and skating for
the time being. The roads at places
are bare aud it will require another
fall of snow to make sleiGhing even
passably good. Colder weather is
promised for today, bat no snow is in
sight so that sleigh5 and sleds will
take back place for a few days and
wheeled vehicles viii come to the
front
The present season has already furn-
ished a great deal of good slcighing
and in that respect has proven quite
an "old fashioned winter. During
the decade or 50 past there have been
many winters in which the sum total
of good sleighing has been far below
what we have already enjoyed up to
the present date this season.
Although plenty of ice there was not
much good skating until few days
past. The best ice was found i'll the
canal, which since the thaw OF last
week has contained two or three feet
of water. Monday and Tuesday many
of our young people skated all the way
to Cameron, returning either by the
same route or by the river, which at
many places afforded quite good skat-
ing. The rain of Tuesday night has
covered the ice in the canal with sew
eral inches of water This of course
has spoiIt skating for the present, hat
all that is needed is another freeze 70
