v:iy ol niKiinizutlnu nl' labor In the
WyimhiK nnd Lsickawunmi Valley.?
,-luee the close of. th1 great miner'
st like shows that the liencllrinl ef
fects of that wreat wimssle have been
lelt not only by the miners' union,
but by all othu- truilo. .As for the
I'ultecl Mine Woikeis, at the begin
ning; of the anthracite strike in Sep
tember there were but R.Mifl union mon
in the three districts. Tmlsiy the union
lias a mighty uiniy of il!),v00 men In
Its ranks.
Other tri'ilts have else bcnuliteit,
and relations between eapital and
labor have been greatly improved. Tin
brewery combine of tlie Wyoming an.l
Lackawanna Valleys, ultli'li hadibeen
unable to come to an agreement with
Its employes. Ii.is. through the Inllu
enc.' of Fied Uilclier, national otgan
izer of the miners, nnd 15 Floig. of the
I'littccl I'.rewery Workmen, mnde n
settlement satisfactoiy to the men.
The theatrical employes have been or
ganized through the elToits of miner'
union ofl'eers. and have reached an
ngieemont with their einploycis. Or
ganizer K. .M. C'ourtright, of the Min
ers' Union, and Organizer AV. Hat
ter, of the American Federation of
Labor, have ornnlKOu the enineers,
llremen and fire bo.ves at the mino
In that region. The relali clerks or
Seranton have a new organization, as
also have the barl.nuier:--. The United
Hrotherhood of Carpenters and Join
ers has been greatly strengthened of
late, and business men throughout the
whole district have ngreid' to employ
none but union men on new or repair
work. Through the "Iforts of Mr. Dll
i lur the ,vur between the carpenters
and the Seranton liuildeis" Kxchange
will likely be ended Minn.
The street car men throughout the
two valleys, from Cnrbondale to Ntin
tlcoUe, have been solidly organized
within the past thror months, and
the barbers, draymen, silk mill opera
tives, garment workms, brass workers
and other ttades have also been union
ized. As n result of this general or
ganization, the Wyoming and Lacka
wanna Valleys are now hothcdJ of
trades unionism, whereas live years
ago union men were ory mirco and
i mild hardly be persuaded to declare
themselves,
ricianton will prepaie to give the
twenty-first convention of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor a i tutting re
ception nest i)( eeinbnr. It Is expected
that long bofoio that time every call
ing In tho city will be thnioughly In
line with the trade union movement.

to the event, and all who have been
invited are assured of an enjoyable
day's pleasure by the genial host.
This and That.
J. W. Martin, chief clerk to Mnster
Car Builder Oanfleld, was presented
with a handsome French briar pipe
yesterday as a Christmas gift.
K. K. Loomis, superintendent of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
coal department, will be out of the city
todayenjoylng the holiday with friends.
Instructlona were sent out by the
officials of the mine workers yesterday
calling upon their members to aid In
the support of the street ear men's
strike.
Up to date 8."0 men have been exam
ined by the eye and ear specialists em
ployed by the Lackawanna company In
testing the fitness of the company's
employes.
(ieorge W. Tudor was yesterday ap
pointed assistant yardmaster in charge
of the east end of the Seranton yard
at night. Train and englnemen will
obey his instructions.
The passenger traffic yesterday on
the Lackawanna and Delaware and
Hudson railroads was the largest ever
handled In the history of either com
pany. The tie-up on the street car

lines had the effect of Increasing the
business of the steam roads.
All of the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western collleiles and shops will
be closed today in observance of the
day. The clerical forces in the depart
ment offices will also have a holiday.
A noticeable feature of the ship
ments by the express companies dur
ing the paBt few days was the large
number of well-filled baskets sent to
soldier boys in the service of Uncle
Sam.
The east-bound main track on the
Lackawanna railroad at Maplewood
has been abandoned, and trains will
now be run on the new connection.
Speed will be reduced to twelve miles
an hour.
Miners at the West Ridge colliery
claim the company has cut off the
twenty-live cents yardage allowed be
fore the strike and a, committee has
been appointed to ask that the yardage
be restored.
The limited yard space in this city is
I a severe handicap to the Lackawanna
transportation department in handling
the large amount ,of business In the
coal .and freight shipments. The busi
ness along this line during the past
month Is the largest bandied in the
history of the company.
A strike of 2.10 girls employed In the
mill of the Wyoming Valley Lace com
pany is now on. The trouble is due to
tho refusal of the; officials to reinstate
a number of .operatives who quit sev
eral months ago because the mannge-

meat declined to algn n certain, scale
of wages.
The rolling stock of the LncknWnnna
railroad will bo materially hicrcasod
during the next fow mouths in prep
aration for the Increased amount of
business which will come to them for
the Buffalo exposition, Several large
contracts will soon be let for new
equipment In the passenger depart
ment. Tho fire at the Delaware, Pino
IMdgo nnd Laurel Ittiti mines, near
Miner's Mills, Is still raging with not
much Impression being made upon It
by the couple of hundred men engaircd
In righting It. The gas nnd 1're damp
prevent the men from getting near
enough to make their work effective.
Tho belief Is gaining strength that tho
area covered by the lire will have to
be senlcd and flooded.
Tho membership canvass will be con
tinued by the Uallroad Yoltug Men's
Christian association until .Tunuary 1,
1801. Since the canvass began, .120 new
members have been added, represent
ing all departments of railroad service.
The present membership Is 6a. The
privileges offered ore tho reading room,
game room, educational classes, baths,
rest room, members' course, religious
meetings, correspondence table, wash
room, circulating library and other
conveniences. Shop and olllce men
may Join nt any time, paying dues in
four consecutive months,
