MINERS WIFE SEEKS
TO SHOW PATRIOTISM
Takes Hardest Job in Work

Against Rules
WILKES S-BARRE. Pa, Dec. /.

w lin bAfslsTs' a. Itts
Mrs Peter Wisner. forty-two years
old, did her bit as patriotic woman to-
day, when she went to the Auchlnclose
mine OF the ID. l.. and W. Company and
started work as a coal loader, the hard
est work In the mine
She went TO work with her husband
because he had been unable to procure
a laborer and keep up his part In the
production of coal. They entered the
mine sometime before officials and other
workmen were on the job. Mrs. Wisner
was dressed in overalls and blouse and
wore the cap of "A miner on which
burned new mine lamp.
The woman went to work with a vim
and had almost loaded a car OF coal
when mine bosses came through the
workings on a tour Of inspection. There
was no attempt to hide the fact that
Wisner had his wife employed as a
laborer and the bosses quickly ordered
her from the mine. They informed her
that they were not permitted to employ
women laborers.
Mrs. Wisner gave up her job with
great regret. She declared she had as
much strength as any man and that she
could handle the pick and shovel with
the best of them.

NO U. S. JOBS FOR DRAFTEES
Men Accepted for Army May Not
Apply for Positions

Applications for mechanical trades or
other positions cannot be received from
persons who have been accepted for the
army draft. according to a statement is
sued today by the local Civil Service
Commission. Many cases have recently
been brought to the attention Of the
commission where persons who have
been accepted for the draft applied for
civil service examinations. and, passing
these. have been directed to report for
work.
In lieu of these facts. the commission
states that persons employed In mechani-
cal trade positions In the Governments
service are not necessarily exempted
from the armys clll. Only those persons
who are occupying positions which can
not be adequately Allied by other SINH
isrly qualified persons will be exempt
from the draft.

Big FIGHT IS OPENED
FOR CLEAN POLITICS
Filing of Contests by Town
Meeting Party Is First
Gun of Battle

The fling of the contest of the election
Of James y. Sheehar, as Register OF
Wills: of W. Freeland kendrick. as Re
ceiver OF Taxes. and Of Frederick j.
Shoyer, as City Treasurer. Is locked
upon as the opening gun of a determined
fight for pure elections and cleaner poll
tics In Philadelphia Town Meeting
party representatives have collected a
great mass of evidence on which to wage
the contest and also upon which TO as
sst the District Attorney to make ex-
tensive prosecutions as the contest pro-
ceeds
The contest will be carried through
with determination, leaders of the party
declare, and beyond upsetting the cleo
tion of the Organization candidates. It Is
their hope TO impress upon the people
OF the entire State the necessity for a
new election law which will protect the
right of the citizen to make an express
sion of his choice of candidates for pub
lie office.
II Is probable that one of the first
steps in the contest of the election Will
be an appeal to the State Supreme Court
for a decision on the Interpretation OF
the ballot. The Town Meeting party
candidates In the election just past lost
several thousand votes eacn. the party's
leaders say, because independents voted
the straight Town Meeting ticket and
then marked the name of some candi-
date for a local office. like assessor or
constable in the Republican column.
The contention is made that in such
cases there is no doubt of the inten-
ton of the voter to vote for the Town
Meeting candidate. The appeal will be
an effort of the new party to get a
decision which will permit the counting
of such ballots as these.
The signers OF the petition. whose
names were not announced when the
petition was turned over to Judge Carr,
are as follows:
