SPEAKEASY RA|DED
At BUNKER HILL
Italian Boarding House Keeper at
Quarries Found With Plenty of
Wet Goods and is Jailed.

When people had almost forgotten
about the raid on several speakeasles
in Martinsburg on the night Of the
9Th of last December, here comes a
raid on one up about Bunker Hill.
But this time 1t was IN Italian in
stead of an American that was caught

Armed with a warrant Constahles
Wolf and Wild and Police officer
Seibert went up to the Blair quarries,
near Bunker HILL Tuesday afternoon
and made a call at the boarding house
kept by Joseph Bosie. prosperous
Italian of that neighborhood. The
officers searched his place and found
crate and key of beer and about
half a gallon of whiskey which they
confiscated and placed bosie un der
arrest. Judging by the amount OF
empty jugs and bottles about the
place the officers think the fellow
must have been dodn g q landofilce

three years that he has been there.
Bosie and the wet goods were
brought to this city DIN the evening
and the owner placed in jail pending
a preliminary hearing before Justice

in the court house under lock and key
to await the sitting of the April term

here last December, only the haul

wage scale to follow the present one.
which expires on March 81
The conference OF eight operators
and eight union officials from each Of
the four states was convened by John
E. White, president Of the United
Mine Workers of America.
Mr.. White announced that the min
ers delegates had come to meet the
operators on friendly terms. but they
intended To adhere to their demands.
These demands, as presented To the
operators, were:
Ten cents a ton increase for lump
coal and the mining of all coal on a
tonnage basis.
Seven hours instead OF eight hours q
day.
Five hours on Saturday instead Of
eight.
Pay every week instead Of every
| two weeks.
The operators. headed by w. X.
| Fields, of Pittsburg; Il. A. Cole, of Co
lumbus, o.; p. H. Penna, of Terre
Haute, Ind, and H. NJ Taylor, of Chi
cago, representing state organizations,
informed Mr.. White that the demands
| equalled 20 per cent increase and
was excessive.
] 1t was pointed out by both sides
that strike or even prolonged sus-
pension of business was not desired.
But it was declared that, even If a
satisfactory adjustment was reached,
| it would have to be submitted to a
referendum vote of the union or con-
vention of the union would have to be
| called, and pending this delay of not
| less than two weeks after April /,
business would have to stop.
The number of men and the mines

ers. $50 mines.

are. Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas
and Kansas. comprising the southwest.
ern district, 10000 miners; Iowa, 49,
| 600, and Michigan. 10000.

sion of the mines which employ union
men would still leave at work in Ken

workers failure to agree in the recent
New York conference. no formal strike
of the anthracite miners has yet been

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1s.-The

ing exceptions to statements which
have been made to the effect that
the new parcels post system which

people would be increased.
1t mas been stated by these officials
that this phase Of the question has
been thoroughly considered by the de-
partment, and that it was found. even
by carrying parcels at a rate much
lower than the express companies, the
system can be made self-supportine.
A further statement is made by the
officials that receipts from the par
GELS post will be sufficient to aid in
decreasing the annual postal deficit
Arrangements have already been
made whereby parcels post packages
