BIG STRIKE CLOUD HOVERS
OVER ANTHRACITE REGION

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Aug. A.
The Anthracite mine workers now
face the most serious crisis since the
big strike OF 1902. In a few days
there may be declared a strike of
about 10000 men in the Laeka-
wanna and Wyoming districts, fol-
lowed by a strike at various collieries
throughout the region where the
mine workers have grievances.
The anthracite cOncfiiation board
which met here Tuesday adjourned,
after a serious disagreement No
arrangements have been made for
another meeting. The operators
have practically withdrawn from the
board and may formally do so, and
the mine workers maintaining their
position will enforce the fifth award
of the anthracite commission over
which the dispute has arisen, by or
derfng strikes at all collfe11es where
it is not observed. This will be done
as a last resort, and the executive
committee has already been given
the power TO order these strikes
without further delay.
The fifth award of the commission
was designed to remove the long
standing grievance of the miners
about excessive docking and the i'm
proper weighing OF coal. This work

ESOPUS, n. Y, Aug. 4-Esopus
has had time TO think it all over and
Esopus thinks it is all right.
A cyclone might have struck the
old town, SO changed is it since the
Democrats at st. Louis named Judge
Alton b. Parker for the presidency
Somehow or other people don't act
the same and everything about the
town seems to have undergone a
mystic transformation. The towns
people walk down Main street
straighter than they used to, just as
if the whole country was looking at
them. Quiet living folk are seen
late at night in the postoffice or in
Pat Quinn's Esopus hotel excitedly
talking over the situation
The indications are that Esopus
will go for Parker and Davis by a
fat majority next fall People who
may like the judge personally, but
disagree with him politically, are not
popular among the groups Of curb
stone debateTs.
Every day brings a fresh sensa-
ton for the 5OO-odd inhabitants of
the quaint little village by the Hud-
son. Distinguished statesmen arrive
in town and drive through Main
street in the Parker carryall. Or,
perhaps, the judge himself may drive
down from Rosemount to the tele-
graph station. 1t is simply wonder
full how many people are out TO be
bowed to by him as he whirls along
behind his new team of roam horses.
So rushed were the pudge's stable
horses after his nomination that he
was compelled to add a new team to
his string. Somebody told him of
the roam team over at Albany and
he bought them. George Bilyou, the

CIRCUS
PLEASED CROWD

The people who were fortunate
enough TO see the Floto show yes
terday can well afford to commits
crate those who were unfortunate
enough to attend the Mardi Gras
last night.
There has never been a show in
Tacoma that was cleaner, brighter
or more thoroughly enjoyable than
the Floto.
The Times was unwilling to give
the Floto an endorsement in advance,
or to advise its patrons to attend
the performances for fear that the
same might turn out to be as de-
plorable as those given by the Mardi
Gras misfit combination.
Being new and therefore unknown
in the Northwest the Floto show did
not receive the patronage which it
well deserved, but which will surely
await it when it returns to this city
next year.
In many respects the Floto is SUI
perior to the larger circuses, espe-
Cially so far as its ring performances
are concerned.
The acts are up-to-date, finished
in every respect and unequalled in
interest. There is not a dull mo-
ment in the program.
While. the show is a comparatively
small affair, so far as bulk is con-
cerned, those who visited it yester-
day are now spreading good reports
of it.

demanded these bosses they should
be appointed that the companies
should deduct a preportionate share
from the wages of all the miners to
pay them that the companies could,
If desired, request an assignment by
each miner of this portion of his
wages, and that refusal to make such
an assignment was sufficient cause
for discharge.
The operators now object to all
the men being required to pay these
bosses, claiming that some non un-
ion men were not parties to the fifth
award. They also object to the dis
charge clause and Wrights opinion.
These objections led the Scranton
Coal company, which has. led the
fight against the award, to request
that the decision of Wright be re-
considered
1t was at this point that the con-
Citation board split. The operators
voted to reconsider the decision, the
miners representatives said the de-
cision was final, could not be recon
sidered, and refused to vote There
upon the operators said the meeting
was over and departed. Later one
of them stated it looked very much
as if the operators would withdraw
from the board
In the meantime the miners Off
GERS have decided to wait few DAYS
TO see if the operators do not change
their minds and again resume con-
ciliatory relations. If they do not,
then the miners will act and the
strikes are expected.
The miners say they have OBJ
served each award and decision of
the umpire, despite the fact that the
majority have not been in their ia
vor, and, now that a decision has
been made against the operators,
they must make the best of it. I'm
less the operators are determined to
violate their agreement, they, too,
must observe it. claim the miners.

SALARY CRAB

There will be no increase in the
wages of the building inspector,
