The Brewery Strike.

There is no change in the strike at
local brewery, other than an announce
ment made this morning by one of the
officials that all the strikers have been
discharged and are no longer considered
In the employ of the company. Both
sides are presenting an unyielding front
and 1t looks like long siege.
Repairs are being made to the mach
inery during the idleness by men con-
nected with the firm which installed the
ice-making machine. They arrived in
town last evening and their appearance
at the plant gave rise to rumor that
non-unionists had been imported to take
the places Of the strikers.

fcient proof that the local sporting
fraternity takes kindly to great draw
ing card when it is presented. The an
nouncement of the two big pugilists In
hstcuffs together is creating no end Of
comment among the followers of the
manly art. The opportunity to see Jeff
and Fitz occurs tonight at the Grand
opera house. The fact that the gadi-
ators have been off two weeks and are
in better condition than ever before is
sufficient proof that their portion of the
program will not be of the love- tapping
kind.
The preliminary bouts (Which will be
for points, are also said to be of the
very best, and an effort is being made to
secure some local talent to try conclu-
sions with some of the light weights
travelling with the combination. The
management of the house is to be con-
graduated for keeping the scale Of
prices down, as very often such an at
traction advances the prices, therefore
creating much displeasure and discon-
tent with the patrons. With such an
attraction and the prevailing popular
prices, the capacity of the house will
probably be tested this evening.

Special Convention.

From the Hazleton Plain Speaker.
A special convention of the United
Mine Workers OF District 7 will be
called for the latter part of this month.
The exact date has not yet been decided
upon, but the convention will assemble
in this city on or about the Goth inst.
The object of this gathering is said
to be the ratification OF the changes
that will be made in the constitution by
the committee that is now engaged at
that task.
1t is altogether probable, however,
that the delegates will not restrict them
selves merely to this particular business
All matters that concern the miners of
this district will likely be discussed and

Pleased With New Hours.

The employees at the surrounding col

schedule of hours which went into effect
on Wednesday. The firemen are natur-

their reduction of four hours per day is
a boon which they could not fail to

Speaking OF the new conditions, one
