THE LABOR CONDITIONS IN THIS

MINERS ARE ANXIOUS FOR

The threatened strike OF miners in
the anthracite and bituminous fields,
of course, is viewed with apprehension
here, not because Of fears that such Il
struggle would cause stoppage OF local
industries 10 any extent as to the ef.
feet upon business interests in other
parts of tie country and the conse-
quent sentimental effect upon b1s!-
ness in this city.
The mines OF West Virginia, fields.
upon which the Eastern market Is de-
pendent for its supplies OF fuel, have
been particularly free from labor dis
turbances for many years, and so far
as is known the men are satisfied with
the conditions under which they are
working. There is wide difference
of opinion relative to the possibility
OF prolonged strike even in the an
thracite region.
The fact that negotiations between
the operators and representatives have
been broken off and that both Sides

1t is argued, that a way will not be

Suster1ay d g0IETTmah o. this city
called the atteneiop OF Chief Of Police
Buckley to two little boys, who said
that their home was in Pittsburgh, and
tliat they wanted q get TO that city
they being out of money.
Mr.. Buckley took the boys,in charge
and arranged for their dinner then
telling the boys I'd remain in III city
Iuntil evening, and that he wJu. y
range TO send them ON to Pi.,sburG..
then.
Mr.. Buckley suspected that the boys
were runaways, and thought very like.
ly that they were from the reiorp
school at Pruntytown, and his Idea
in keeping the boys was to ascertain
whether o. not these boys had escaped
from the school.
Later Mr.. Buckley received a call
from Chief OF Police Brooks OF Clarlis-
burg, inquiring about two boys, and
Chief Buckley informed him that he
had two boys who answered the
description of the two boys wanted in
C.arksburg,
The chief then placed The two boys
in the basement Of lAe Court House,
and this morning he received cali
from the father Of one of the boys, re
questing that the boys be placed on a
car and started back to Clarksbur9
but Chief Buckley told the father that
he was afraid that the hoys would not
so. SO the father arranged to come aft
er them, arriving here on an early
car, and returning TO Clarksburg with
the boys on the 10 o'clock car.
The boys. when placed in jail, gave
their names as Carl Wright and Clar.
ence Harllng, and their place of resi-
dence as Pittsburgh, but after the
father arrived this morning, both boys
changed and told the truth, also tell
ing the story OF how they got to this
city, stating that they had come as faq
as Meadowbrook in a row boat, leav
ng the boat in that place, and walk
ing on into this city. When they start
ed to run off, they had Pittsburgh ii
mind as their destination.
TWO boys, about "A years OF age, b!
the names of Their Wiseman and Earl
Smith, we're taken 10 their homes in
Clalksburg this morning by the father
of the Wiseman boy, Mr.: Wiseman ann
Fred Flower Of ClRrksburg, having
come to this city after the boys when
they learned that Chief OF PolicI
Buckley had them under detention
here.
