MISS DUNN'S SECOND TALK
Charmed a Large Audience In tho Bi
cycle Club House Yesterday After
noonExhibition of Pictures.
A large number of people listened
ngaln to Miss Fmellne A. Dunn at tin
Ulcycle club yesterday afternoon nnd
admired her lovely water colors. One
of the distinguishing features of her
work. Is thnt while the pictures grow
upon one ns If often found to bo the
case, they lire charming at first sight.
There nre no navul greens, no hard
angular outlines. Everything Is
painted from a true artistic standpoint.
There Is faithful execution, flawless
drawing and n genuine feeling for color.
Too often water colors nre cold. These
pictures are sunny and rich without
being in nny sense glaring. Miss Dunn
has Etudied under tho best masters In
America nnd has hnd exceptional ad
vantages during n. prolonged stay
abroad. Her work shows the effect of
Infinite study and pi-elation.
She has consented to make copies of
nny subject, shown at this exhibition
for the benefit of the Young 'Women's
Christian association. The pictures, of
which so much' has been said, will be
shown free to nil visitors at the Y. AV.
C. A. rooms today.
Among the pictures Used in Miss
Dunn's talk yesterday were a iiumbr
of American views, elilelly In Vermont
and along the St. Lawrence. A beau
tiful foreign picture was Mt. Vesuvius
pale In tho soft violet light beyond the
sickle-curve of the bav. Several neo
polltan pictures, n glimpse of landscape
lying between Saleono and Sorrento,
another along the Htvlera near Nice,
a group Including tho house of Tlb?iius
showing tho spot where Caligula Is sup
posed to have been kl'Ied, the I'onte
Vecchio nt Florence and other views
of famous spots were given.
One of Hip most strikingly fascinat
ing subieets was a picture of Mount
Mane from Chamounlx In the rosellned
light of the Alpine glow, strongly con-
rjmtnil with IVi llvlne rin,in nf tlin
! forest foreground, where n shrine croys
reared Us lonely head. The Harblzon
views were among the most ndmiied
and probablv the Held with the glean
ers, beyond which lies the church famed
In the Angiitis. An Interesting v..,
was that of the Iiousseau church by
the side of which In the old rose Karl
en stands the grent artist's pMidln.
Many beautifully (executed sketches
about Saint Germalne nnd VorsUiles
were shown, among them a sunny rich
tcned bit of water aglow with the gold
rellected chestnut boughs. This pic
ture would be a pleasing coirpaplon lo
the Lelpslc graln-tield with tlv red
tiled gambrel roof of the farm house
in the distance only nobody buys
"companion pictures" now-u-days.
There were several Scottish lows,
where the deep pink hee.ther spread
like a rosy snow over tl." hillsides and
an English one of the Lorna Doono
country where, too, tho sketch of Ex
moore landscape glowed with the rich
bloom.
A remarkable result of 51 hs Dunn'fl
nrt was hown In the copy of the fam
ous Itambrnndt portraits, In which It
seemed scarcely possible that the depth
and richness of to. e cjtiul 00 secured
in wnter color. Aujlhe.- brilliant copy
was that of Mill t'a Gleaner.-.
A delightful featur- or the .i''"oon
was Mlsa Cordo'.a FivMimifs solo.

History of the Trouble and tho
Present Situation.
Conditions almost exactly similar lo
those which preceded the fateful Black
Friday nt Latllmer now exist at Old
Forge where fourteen hundred work
men at Jermyn & Co.'s two collieries
hnvo been on strike for over a month.
The breach between the company nnd
the men Is constantly widening. The
company Is attempting to resume oper
ations with "blncklegs" nnd the strik
ers are intimidating tho workmen nnd
conducting parades from one hamlet to
another while armed deputies patrol
the works nnd escort those who are
working us they go to anil from the
mine.
A collision between the strikers and
the deputies while not Imminent, is not
Improbable, though both sides declare
such n thing Is very unlikely. Tho
company's representatives say the
presence of the deputies will prevent
disorder. The strikers say they will
not molest either the deputies or the
workmen, further than to plead with
the latter to keep away from the
works. If these intentions are persisted
In there will be no trouble. There Is,
however, n lurking danger in the
thoughtless or hot headed acts of the
individual on either side and It is this
that has to bo guarded against.
The strike Itself is an example of the
dllllculty encountered In dealing with
the class of men who make up the bodv
of the strikers.
DOCKAGE THE GitlEVANCE.
' The giievunce Is about dockage. They
claim thev are docked too much and
demand that one of their own number
shall be employed to act in conjunction
with tho docking boss at the "head"
In determining the percentage of dirty
coal sjnt uu.
Joseph J. Jermyn, the company's
manager, would not hear to this prop
osition, realizing that there would be
constant disputes between the two
docking bosses and dally squabbles be
tween the superintendent nnd the min
ers over the conflicting findings. To
satisfy the men he suggested that thev
select n man for the position of dock
ing boss and he would appoint htm,
providing, o' course, he was titled for
the position. The men either did not
appreciate tho offer or object to reced
ing from their original demand, for
they refused to accept it nnd persisted
In what they had asked for.
The eoinoany refusing to make the
concession the men nt No. 2 colliery
on October 12 quit work and took out
their tools. The next day those em
ployed at No. 1 did likewise. Since that
time the mines have been idle and both
sides have been playing a waiting
game.
Fully half a dozen committees waited
on Manager Jermyn nt one time or
other to effect n settlement. Each
time a conference was held the com
mittee went away leaving the company
to understand that everything was
satisfactory and that work would be
resumed. The committee would make
Its report to the strikers, the sehqme
of settlement would be rejected nnd
the broach would only be opened tha
wider.
UNION OFFICERS CALLED IN.
Two weeks ago the ofllcers of the
United Mine Workers' union took a
luiud in the matter and attempted a
s ttlcment. H secured from the com
pany what was thought would be ac
ceptable terms, but ns was the case
with the other committees, no settle-
j ,nf,llt WJls effected.
I Finally tho onmnnnv decided in ivnlt I
no longer for the strikers to become j
conciliated but to resume operations
with whatever men could be s. cured. '
Mannger Jermyn went nmong the I
strikers and notified them of the In-
tentlon to resume work Tuesday, and j
telling them that If they wanted their
places back they should report for I
duty. Some said they would be on
hand; others said they wanted to go

quence, and still others sullenly held
their neaco nnd walked away.
Tuesday morning No, 1 started up
with a few tnen, some of them from
among: the ranks of th strikers, but
the most of them Italians from Hend
hnm and the Hlbley. They were taken
to the mine before daybreak and kept
there under the guard of n squad of
deputies headed by H. V. Ferber and
composed of deputy constables and
others from Scranton nnd other towns.
They were sworn In as deputy
sheriffs by Mr. Ferber who Is a deputy
under Sheriff Pryor, and Ktipplled with
stnM nnd other poller equipment.
The workman were fed nnd lodged In
the company's oltlce at the mine and
tho deputies were kept on duty con

mines. Yesterday morning nt . 4

Yesterday morning tho strikers en-
tcreu tne breaker which debarred a
number of men from returnlnr: to
work. Some who succeeded In runnlnij ,

up but In no wis.; threatened. The
strikers argued with them to show
them the Injustice of taktng the places
of other men but did not attempt to
restrain them by force.
manager jermyn stated yefeicruny m
a Tribune reporter that there are two
hundred hands at work at No. 1 and
that there Is every reason to believe
that a full complement of men will
have returned to work by this after- ,
noon. The break in the strikers ranki
has occurred, he says, and it Is only
a question of a few days before they ,
are all back at work. Next week, the '
company proposes to start operations
at No. 2.
The strikors say there are only thirty
men at work and that only forty cars
were hoisted yesterday. These men,
the strikers say, were recruited from
Itendham and Sibley nnd none of them
are from the ranks of the strikers.
Ninety per cnt. of tho strikers aro
Hungarians nnd Polanders and most I
of them live In a compact settlemcnc
located between the two Jermyn col- I
lleries. Yesterday when a Tribune re-
porter went nmong them be found 1
them ready and willing to talk and
disposed to give any information In
quired for.
WHAT THE MEN SAY.
From a general conversation with i
several different groups. It was gath
ered that, as the company contends, the !
only grievance Is about tho matter of '
dockage. The strikers claim they aro
docked one car In ten whether their ,
coal Is dirty or not and that there '
should be no dockage where there Is I
not over 500 pounds of dirty coal to
mo car. in many 01 uie places, ac-
corning to the strikers, there Is in
eight-foot vein of clean conl which
does not show nny slate or bony at
all, yet a' miner working In one of
these plnces was docked seven earn
out of thlrty-slx. "Everything tho
matter Is the dock, dat's all," was the
way a spokesman of one group ex
pressed It.
Monday when the word was passed
that No. 1 was resuming operations a
meeting of the strikers was called .for
15 o'clock In the afternoon and after
they had been in session two hours
they stnrted out from their headquar
ters 1n Columbia hall on Main street.
Old Forge, and marched from one sec
tlement to the other passing through
Mudtown, Austin Heights, Sibley, Bar
bertown and "finally to P.endham where
they countermarched in front of Jer
myn & Co's. store. There was no dis
order further then some shouting ami
chirring at various points In the lino
of march. Signs were tacked up on
trees throughout the whole region urg
ing miners to keep away from the Jer
myn & Co's. mines until the strike Is
settled.
