Independent operators were crushed. and

forced TO turn their properties over to

Trouble. After the War.

Small labor troubles Of local Importance
only continued TO crop out In various
parts Of the region until the civil war
was In progress, when the price of coal
Jumped from Sis per ton at Philadelphia
in 1862 until It brought ready sale two
years later at SOS.
So many men were needed In military
and naval operations that labor became
scarce and wages correspondingly higher;
but when the war ended labor again
rushed into the coal fields. and the over
supply brought wages down from their
high war level.
| In 1866 miners organized to resist this
natural reduction due to the law OF sup.
ply and demand. but they failed. al
though several strikes were declared.
II was In the latter part Of 1861 that
labor leaders in all the three anthracite
fields realized the necessity Of having the
workmen knitted together IN one strong
union, and after much careful discussion.
in July, 1865. the first comprehensive
anthracite coal union was formed-the
Workingmen's Benevolent association.
whose first president and controlling
spirit was John Siney.
Before many months the "w b. A."
as old miners still call 1t. was strongly
intrenched in the lower and middle fields.
So large a proportion OF mine workers
became members that II virtually con-
trolled the situation there.
This strengthening Of membership was
accomplished. however, by a constant
succession Of local strikes. parleying with
operators. temporary resumption Of work
and then more strikes.
While the middle and lower fields were
tied up hard and fast. however. the mines
IN the upper field. the wiIkesbarre region.
continued 10 work day and night, and
supplied the public demand for anthracite.
So Siney's men started on a march across
country to Wilkesbarre TO persuade the
miners there 10 go on strike In this
they were so far successful that the
operators In the upper field agreed to an
eight-hour working day. although the
men failed to get an advance in wages.
The strike lasted nearly all summer in
the lower or schuylkiil region, when an
agreement was reached there whereby
the men gained a 10 per cent advance,
but lost their demand for an elght-hour
day.
Big Operators Come In.
Everybody now hoped for a year OF
peace and work and wages. but early in
ls7o the SchuylkiIl operators announced
a reduction Of wages: the union resisted
and ordered another strike. which was
not generally obeyed.
The operators Offered to compromise
as usual. but the union declined. until in
July il effected an agreement with
Franklin 3. Gowan. newly elected presi-
dent Of the Reading railroad In agree

(From a staff Correspondent


LINCOLN. Neb.. April N-(Special)-
There was great interest today among
capitol employees in the result Of the prl-
mary. While the interest was greatest
beforehand in the presidential situation.
the returns this morning were ample
10 satisfy in this respect. The personnel
of the republican nominees for state Of
fices was the main topic today. Espe-
cislly was this true with employees in the
office of land commissioner and auditor
in which there is certain TO be change
in the head as the present incumben;s
are not candidates for reelection. Natu-
rally, these employees who desire to hold
over would like to know who the party
candidate is. Neither the returns In the
morning papers nor those which came In
during the day shed any light which was
satisfying on this question. Some of
the officials who went home to vote ar
rived back at the capitol in the morning
and others in the afternoon. The pri-
mary was so absorbing that little busl-
ness was attempted and in fact there
business bent.
Expense Accounts Come In.
Candidates are beginning to file their
expense accounts. Grant Martin, republi-
can candidate for attorney general. was
low man, his certificate showing that he
expended absolutely nothing except the
official filing fee of $40. Ben Hayden,
for railroad commissioner, was close
second. expending so as filing fee and 81
for other purposes. J. L. Delzell, repub-
lIcan candidate for state superintendent
certified TO expanding 1916. and Addison
Wait. republican candidate. for. secretary
Of state, expended $50. OF this $40 was
for filing fee and the remainder for pos
tai cards containing information for vot-
ers at the primary.
Monday has been set for the hearing
on the physical valuation OF the Burning
ton railroad. The differences between
that state and the company on this point
are great and considerable testimony Is
likely TO be taken.
