Will There be a Wayne County
Base Ball League?
A movement is on foot to form a
Wayne county league of base ball
teams. The towns that are TO be
represented are Hawley, Honesdale,
White Mills, Ariel and the Waymart-
Prompton section A spirit of heavy
rivalry can be worked up without
much difficulty, and those who have
given the subject considerable
thought are sure the plan can be
made to pay. 1t does not pay to
bring teams from distant points. The
several mentioned above are easily
accessible, and the plan would prove
both pleasant and profitable if prop
erly worked up.

PickereI Fishers, Beware
OF June 18th.
Although pickerel and all other
kinds of fish may be legally caught
on June 18th, yet fishermen should
go little slow before going fishing
Oh WHY b6CduS6

The Present Standing of
The o. of II. T. Matter.
In previous issues we have given
some space to the differences that
exist between the Erie railroad and
the Order of Railway Telegraphers.
1t is the intent of the writer to show
no bias in the matter. Why should
he? What could he gain by favor
ing" either side? The simple truth
is best in all cases. From a reliable
source the following is gathered: A
meeting of the Erie officials and the
officials of the o. of r. T. was
scheduled to take place in New York.
Genl Chairman Hustled and Vice
President Newman, of the o. of R.
T., and other assistants, went to the
Erie offices, and the Erie officials re-
fused to confer with Newman, but
were willing to admit Hustled. An
nouncement was also made that they
refuse to recognize the D. of R. T.
any longer. This means that that
organization is at an end if the tele-
graphers accept the situation. Cen
eral Chairman Hustled at once sent
for National President Perham, of
st. Louis, and it is now up to him
to call strike, which call will un-
doubtedly be made, and may be look
ed for at any time.
The telegraphers claim that if
they allow themselves to become dis
organized the recent advance in
wages will soon be changed to a cut,
as they believe the Company wants
them to pay for the recent installa-
ton of telephones and block signals.
They believe that it is the intention
of the company to substitute the
telephone for the telegraph. AS an
evidence of this they point to the
yard at the west end of Port Jervis,
known as the WX tower, where the
lnterlocking plant that was operated
by the telegraphers has been discon-
nected, and the switching is now
done by the brakemen.
The wage scale of telegraphers at
present is-minimum, $5S-maxi-
mum, $5S, for an S-hour day.. and
7 days week.

popular. 1t came to Hawley one
day, and, as it passed the Times Of
fee, then located in the little room
adjoining Schlager's bakery, among
the onlookers was the late DR.. W.
L. Marcy, who came in from mo.
19" to see the printer and the sights
at the same time. AS the last of
the procesh passed the doctor re-
marked in his peculiarly dry way,
with neer a suspicion of a smile
on his face, "We-l-l-l! If the wagons
had only been half a mile apart that
parade would have been two miles
long. Now, wouldn't it?" And this
is by no means a reflection on last
Fridays parade. It's Just a little
bit of Observation-Disclosures all.

Turn On the Lights
Where They Are Needed.

The bed of the old gravity track
where the coal pockets used to be
located is now used as a street.
There are sections of this road that
are extremely dangerous at night,
and teamsters who have to drive that
way after dark have petitioned the
authorities to locate lights at the
dangerous points. The petition is
valid and should be granted. If il
is not granted there may be an acci-
dent there that will cost a lot of
money from the taxpayers one of
these days.

800 SLEEP IN z
ROOM HOUSE

A house Of seven rooms in which 900
men sleep daily was discovered yes
terday by the South Chicago police.
The "roomers". are workers in the
steel mills and sleep in shifts" Thus
the sixty cots in the place can accom-
modate them all.
The house of many roomers'-and
few rooms-was discovered when the
police were sent to investigate re-
port that a man had died at 904o
Strand street, which is just across
from the steel mills. They found the
man, Ivan Zerlick, still alive, but In
a serious condition.
The police express wonder that he
is alive at all, for he was in room
where the cots were piled one on top
OF the other like so many hunks. So
closely were they packed into the
rooms that the policemen had to crawl
beneath them to get to where the sick
man lay. On each cot was a sleeping
man.
With the arrival of each shift" from
the mills the sleeping shift" also
changes. so that the cots are practi-
cally never without occupants. re-
port will be made to the health au-
thorfties OF the insanitary conditions
