Meteorites Seen In Three states

Boston, Nov. Is Pt-Meteorltes
were sighted in three states yester-
day. according to reports reaching
here last night. Residents Of the
Roslindale district OF this city were
startled by a sharp kissing noise
followed by the sight Of a falling
ball Of fire. The object apparently
struck on the outskirts OF the town,
but hundreds OF persons searched
unsuccessfully for traces OF it on the
ground.
A meteorite bursting on the
Brunswick Gardiner state highway
in Maine, was believed to have been
the cause of the defamation that
rocked the ground and houses in
Harrison, sending several families
running from their houses In fear of
an earthquake. A rumbling, similar
to thunder, accompanied the fall Of
the meteorite, 1t was reported.
In Keene, n. H, an object, ap-
pearing like a comet, was seen TO
drop from the heavens. Lowell,
Mass, and Manchester, n. H., also
reported sighting meteorites last
night.

Professor Kirtloy +. Mather said
there was no possible connection be-

Professor Mather also said the
Harvard seismograph showed no
record OF reported disturbances in
Connecticut last Saturday that were
attributed 10 the "Moodus Noises. "
He said local earth disturbances
might have been responsible and
pointed out that these were quite

Shock Felt In Hartford

Hartford, Nov. 16 Up - This
section was visited by another
slight earth tremor this morning
similar to the one felt here Satur-
day.
The baby" earthquake was ex-
perienced at 1870 a. m. and lasted
but a second or two. Buildings
shook for a moment but so far as
could be learned there was no
damage.
The slight shock was accompan-
led by a high wind, a heavy rain
and an abnormally high tempera-
ture for this season of the year.
The quake centered in the
Hartford district but affected the
lighting systems as far south as
Middletown. No earth shock. how
ever, was felt there.
Although no records Of the
slight shock Saturday were regis
tered in seismographs scientists
are OF the opinion that the shock
which caused buildings here and In
surrounding towns to SILVER was a
baby" earth tremor.
The scientists regard the Satur-
day trcmOr of no "significance'
and explain that 1t was Of a local
nature.

COAL Miners GET
NOTE FROM OWNERS
Urges Them to Agree 10 Arbi-
tratiOn Plans

Hazleton. Pa, Nov. Is Rl-Coal
employees OF the Jeddo-H Highland
Coal company one OF the largest in
dependent operators In the anthra-
ehe helds today, received letters
dated November - and signed by
the company showing their in
tividual losses in wages since the
strike began on September /. and
containing suggestion that they
urge their leaders 10 accept arbitra-
ton and enable the men 10 get a
Christmas pay,
Don't be fooled by false news
about an early settlement" the let
ters declared. Almost everyone
who knows the facts believes this
strike will last until next spring or
longer unless arbitration Is accepted.
But you can start work almost any
day II you men tell your leaders to
arbitrate,"
The letters declared that the col
liarles have been idle ten weeks and
that Ave paydays have gone without
any distribution OF wages, causing
an estimated loss Of 20 per cent OF
a years earnings, and said that
this is twice as much as the amount
for which the strike was inaugural
ed.
The letters said that the men have
always won through arbitration, as
sorting that in 1902 John Mitchell
fought for arbitration and got 10
per cent advance, and that In 1920
a II per cent increase was gotten
and in 1923. 10 per cent.
The letters added that men who
have tried TO get work in other
places know that more was paid 10
laborers around here than they can
get anywhere else. Men who got
57.75 cents an hour around Jeddo
know they can only get rs cents
an hour at tho Bethlehem Steel
Works, 30 cents in philadelphia, and
IS or 40 cents in other places" and
that even If they get Job, It is
not likely to last through the win
ter while your own work was steady
all the year round"
It was claimed that the only per-
sons gaining through the strike are
the soft coal men and that nom
union mines, on a lower wage scale,
are working overtime sending non
union coal where anthracite should
be burned.
