The sardine canning season on the
eastern Maine coast opens April Is,
and there is considerable speculation
over the prospects Of any Of the sar-
dine plants opening when the two
weeks are up, for it has been stated
recently that there were some lndica-
tions of an early arrival OF small
schools of fish in the Bay OF Fundy
and it is probable that the advance
guards of the fish will soon be making
their appearance in Passamaquoddy
Bay, when they will be quickly no
tced by the early boatmen OF Quoddy.
Different canning plants at Passport
have been coming in for the annual re-
pairs and improvements during the
past winter, and it would be only a
short time, following the regular time
for opening, before most of them could

AS last seasons pack was somewhat
limited and the season was shorter
than the average, it is known that the

short time.

THE CABIN CREEK SLAVES
Feel the Iron Heel Again and
are Compelled to Di g 24O
I Pounds More Coal For a Ton
Than Men in Union Fields
Operators Steal Out Of
the Mouths of Children.

After many consultations and
conferences with the operators of
the Hernshaw mines the organi-
zation has finally effected a settle
ment. Secretary Morris and Or
ganizer Krallman met Mr.. Price of
the Company and Commissioner
Kennedy on Tuesday night and
succeeded in having the n;en rein.
stated. The reinstatement will
take effect as soon as the mine
starts up which is somewhat in
definite, as the company claims
they have no. orders and have
more coal stored in Cincinnati than
can be sold for some time to come,
More prosperity.
The men on Cabin Creek are be-
ginning to learn the value of the
organization. Only a lew days
ago the operators of that "guard''
ridden section notified the men
that they would have to dig 24O
pounds more coal for ton in the
future. Many of the men, are
leaving and there is considerable
dissatisfaction among them. Sever
al mass meetings were held, but
owing to the activity of the
''guards" nothing was done by the
men to in any way resist the action
of the slave drivers. But the
worm will turn some day in these
scab fields, as they are being op.
pressed more and more and some
day the burden will become so
heavy that even the "guards'' will
be unable to force them to submit
to the iniquitous system longer.
The new company operating the
New Haven mines in the Pomeroy
Bend have made an agreement
with Vice President Lanham and
Organizer Krallman for the Or
ganization whereby the eight-hour
day and other union conditions
have been secured. The new COM
pany expects to employ a large
number of men in the near future
This will be good news for the
miners of the Bend who have been
idle for the past year.
Organizer Craigo is back from
the Raymond City field where he
put in last week doing good work
for the Black Betsey, Raymond
City and Harmon's Creek locals.
Indications are that the member
ship will be greatly increased in
that section during the coming
month.
Vice President Lanham and Or
ganizer Craigo attended the meet
Ing OF the Olcott Local on Briar
Creek Tuesday evening and ad-
dressed the meeting. This local
has been increasing in membeship
very rapidly of late and in a short
time will have every man on the
works enrolled.

Pennsylvania will be invited to
send representative to great
labor demonstration planned to be
held in Harrisburg on the coming
Labor Lay. The Central, of Har-
risburg, made up of delegates from

of program to the Executive
Committee, which announces that
the celebration will be the biggest
thing of the kind ever held in
central Pennsylvania.
Invitations will be issued to
John Mitchell and other prominent
men to be present, and there will
be addresses by several labor
leaders of national prominence,
whose names the committee is not
ready to announce. The demon
stration will incIhde big parade,
in which out of-town organizations
will have a, prominent place.
