Eight or ten employees of the Unicorn Silk mill, at Allentown, have struck for an Increase in wages. It Is said that the Reading railroad company Is tending coal to market at tho rate of a thousand tons pcrhonr. Considerable money was raised In this vicinity during tho past week for tho strik ing miners 4n the Lchleh coal region. A number of Lehigh Vally engineers and firemen, whose homes are In this borough, aro employed on tho upper divis ion of that road. The miners arc as persistent and deter mined as ever that the demand asked for bo conceded before they return to work. Are they right or wrong? The voice of every toller answers, llglitl Monopolists of course murmcr wrong. Tho condition of the rail market and the scarcity and high value of ore have forced the twelve Bessemer sleet manufact urers of this country to agro to shut down all work ou Dec 1. A large number of men will be thrown out of employment. This seems to be another natural result of a protective tariff on raw material that pro tects nobody. A movement has been Inaugurated by the chief officers of the Knights of Labor against the growing eyll of employing con vict labor In competition with free labor. Petitions have been circulated for presenta tion to Congress, asking that body to pass laws requiring convict niado goods to be brandeias such for tho protection of legiti mate manufacturers unu worKmen. The Toledo Blade puts tho truth ter sely when It says: The acme of absurdity was reached in the effort to Indentlfy those men and their unholy causo with the cause of labor. Labor thrives best In times of profound peaco and sefcurity. when there is nothing to make tho most cautious take In sail and prepare for a storm. The Anarchists were pledged to doctrines which would overthrow all law and all authority, and relegate society to the condition of barbarism. If the strike continues much longer It Is not Improbable, says an Individual in a position to know whereof he speaks, that the l'ackcrton car shops will shut down In definitely. This action on the part of the company, If taken at all, will be meant as a Jcbuke to the Knights of Labor who are sending financial aid to the miners in the Lehigh coal region, the effect of a suspen sion at this season would be lamentable. Our people arc all anxiously awaiting de velopments. Some Idea of the extent to which me chanical ingenuity and efficiency have ad vanced may be had from the following state ment: "It Is now possible to constiuct a complete sowing machine In a minute, or sixty in one hour; a leapcr every fifteen minutes, or less; 300 watches in a day. com plete In all their appointments. More im portant than this even. Is the fact that It Is possible to construct a locomotive in a day. From the plans' of a draughtsman to the execution of them by the workmen, every wheel, lever, valve and rod may be con structed from the metal to the engine Intact. Every rivet may be driven in the boiler, every tube in the tubo sheets, and from the smokestack to the ashpan, a locomotive may be turned out in a working day, com pletely equipped, ready to do the work of a hundred horses." ll'ithout such machine ry and tho skilled labor lo operate them, the civilized world of to-day would be an Impossibility. .everybody Keaa Thfs.

Investigation has thrown a'llt le llclit on the origin of tho fire at Coxe Brothers & Co,'s Drlfton coal brcakor. Beneath the base of the plane where the fire began it has always been the habit of the workmen to throw their cotton waste, saturated with oil. Men were at work at this point late Friday night repairing the largo car that is used to hoist tho coal from the mine to the top of the breaker, and the supposition now Is that a spark fiom one of their lamps fell on this oily waste, smouldered thero for hours, and finally was fanned In to a blaze, which quickly spread tp the surrounding woodwork. This theory is now generally accepted, but some contend that It would not oven have been necossary to have set fire to this oily wasto by a spark from a naked lamp, as twlco during tho past year has this waste been discovered on fire at points in the machine shops. where it could not possibly hve ben reach ed by a spark. Thero is, without doubt, a much better feeling to-day among all classes, and the theory of incendiarism is scarcely received anywhere. An Eloquent Sermon. On last Sabbath evening Rev., (i. V. Gross, the highly csteoiped pastor of the Evangelical church pf this phtco, preached a very eloquent sermon to the Jr. O. U. A, M., one of the most prosperous and Influ ential secict orders of town. There were about sixty members of the lodge present, clothed in appropriate regalia, and they are to be congratulated on their line display. Young America always does look line when decked In the stripes and colors. The discourse by the reyerend gentleman was based on Judges VIII. 21. "For as a young man is so is his strength." For ap propriateness of matter and vigor and force of stylcas well as manner of execution,thc sermon was a masterpiece such as Is sel dom If ever heard In Lehlghton. Wfc add a few outline thoughts from tho sermon. A young man's strength Is physical, intel lectual and moral, and upon his strength depends his safety and welfare. The an cients paid divine homage to physical strength, but physical strength without Intellectual and moral power aro worth nothing from a christian standpoint. Pope says, "Tho soul constitutes the man." Some men are weak. He then named some of the weaknesses of young men and pre sented a few thouahts under each head. 1. From inexperience; old men for counsel and joung men for war. 2. From self-cou- fidencc; we must have strength from God. 3, From the predominance of passion over judgment, young men are exposed to dan gers. . From improper places of resort; 2, from eyll companions; 3, from poison ous literature; avoid light literature, there Is plenty of good. Means of defense were then presented as, 1, A good home; no country has such homes as America. 2, In dustrious habits; some men try to live by their wits and build air castles to avoid work. 3, Self-reliance; help yourself. 4, Respect for tho Sabbath. 5, A noble Ideal, a good pattern. For this purpose read the biographies of great men like Franklin, Daniel, etc. fl, A plan In life. 7, Religion and religious principles. The first aim of a young man's life is to take care of his soul. Seek ye first the kingdom of God. Every young man comes to a point where the road of llfo Is forked; he must choose for himself; one road leads to happiness, the other to ruin. llre must receive moral powers from God. Tho motto of the Jr. O. U. A. M. is VIrtue.Libcrty and Patriot ism. It Is a good motto and would not hurt to have It Inscribed In our churches. Nothing promotes these qualities like re ligion. No one in war stood so firmly as those who were consecrated to God. The chief object of t no lodge Is tho preservation , perpetuation of the institutions of this great Republic, our" public school system and the Bible. The object Is a very noblo one. Tills country Is blessed as no other country Is; wo loye It; It is a proud nation. We are a fast nation In Invention, discovery and growth. Our grandfathers of fifty years ago would not know us. Our coun try has great probabilities, but polygamy Is an enemy, and so is rum. Strength of in tellect Is needed; much of the poor man's money goes for rum and luxuries. There Is great responsibility as an American vot er; use the right with common sense. There aro magnificent possibilities for an American citizen. Success depends on pluck not luck. Havo jut views of life, make tho most of it, and let your object be tho salvation of your soul. Honor, virtue and integrity are needed by all, and virtue implies principle as thero Is no virtue with out principle, and be assured "as tho young man Is so Is his strength." Mho pastor preached over an hour, there "helng very close attention throughout, and we believe it met with universal approval by all who heard it. The talented pastor will address the young men of this town and vicinity on .Sabbath afternoon, at 3:30 p. in.-, in the room of the Y. M. C. a., in Wra.
