seemed ,t'o lespond to llie spirit of the
occasion", Iniid-tipplnuso und open enm
inent, breaking the speeches.
Xatlnshil OrgMnlaor IJeilVy Collins; or
this city, wns chairman, The speakers
were lion. James J. O'Xell, Mayor of
Oarbondiile: Martin Meniolo. of Old
Forge, national organizer, and John F.
Dempsey, of Scranton, secretary of
District No. 1. Hesolullotis conforming
to the wishes of Piesident Mitchell
were presented and mlopted amid strong
applause, '
Mayor O'Xell, In his address, jcon
ilemned the arsertloii that Carbondale
among other coninnmitles, Was lawless
niul In a stale or anarchy. He Lalso
declared as wrong the attitude of the
operators In the Washington confer
ence. Organizer Meniolo spoke both in
Italian and Kngllsh and dwelt quietly
on the alleged bribery of the coal com
pany ofllelals to disrupt the miners'
union and to cause a break In their
ranks. In doing so he paid his respects
to whom he termed "Itaer, the Divine
IJ.'ier."
Secretary Denipsey's tall: was chiefly
a plea to the miners to lie loyal to their
leader, president Mitchell, particularly
at this time which in his opinion is
the crisis of the strike. He asked that
they give the lie to President Mner that
the millers were slaying out for fear
and not" because they were fighting
against conditions that were Intolerable
to them.
At the conclusion of the meeting the
resolutions, prepared by a committee
composed of one member from each of
the seven locals represented, were
adopted by a rising vote. The resolu
tions renewed obeyance to John Mit
chell, piomised to remain out until their
demands are conceded, notwithstand
ing the presence, of all the soldiers in
the United States, and condemned the
.c'oal and Iron police, who were designat
ed as Vthugs,"
Mayor O'Xell was applauded with
spirit when presented by Chairman
'Collins, After touching on the purpose
of the United Mine Workers In re
dressing ln,.tlielr own helpful way what
the believed to be wrongs, he took up
the claim of the operators as to a state
of anarchy. The mayor spoke with an
earnestness and fotce that showed be
neath a feeling of resentment of the
operators utterances.
"It has been asserted that there Is a
state of anarchy here," he said:
"violence Is prevalent and the moli, not
law and order rules. 1 am here as a
citizen and as one in authority to deny
these assertions as false. The citizens
here are law-abiding; have the highest
respect for the law, a.s high as any
place In the tuition. For anyone to as
sort to the contrary Is false, damnable
and libelous. The people here were
never more peaceable In my life here;
everything is as calm as a Sunday af
ternoon., We can all go to sleep like
children without the fear of danger
befalling us. There has been no cry
raised from the pulpit, no one in au
thority has asked for troops for us and
it cannot be pointed out that there Is
any danger, that any man has to re
main awake to guard his home."
Mayor O'Xell Indicated that lie did
not care to go Into the merits of the
Issues, but as a mere on-lookcr sis be
tween the attitude of the operators and
the miners' representatives In the
Washington confeience. lie helleved the
operators to be in the wrong, it was
rquosteil by President Itnosevelt to not
go Into the discussion of the Issue, Hut
the operators were guilty of a breach
of confidence: they did discuss the
issues and they made assertions that
weie false and neeusations that they
did not prior to this. In a case of this
sort the place, time and persons should
be specified and 'If there he unlawful
taking or life in any of them, there
are due processes of law to lie followed.
The guilty ope may be apprehended
and justice allowed. This was the
courso; not the unsupport-d statements.
The men here are supporting the
pchools, they are maintaining the In
stitutions, of the niunlclpal government

then can there be n state of anarchy?
' In conclusion the mayor hoped that
the men would keep up und maintain
the spit-It of order and dignified man
hood which they have held during the
strike. If they did this, he counseled
them, they would win and luped It
would be soon,
The throng of miners were keenly at
tentive during Mayor O'Xell's talk and
they Indicated their satisfaction by
vigorous applause1 ut frequent Intervals.
Organizer Meniolo In Ills address In
Kngllsh said the great question In the
strike was not the calling out of the
mill tin, but one of bribery. Agents of
the operators, he said, arc among the
men trying to bribe them to break the
ranks, The operators are In the last
ditch und are approaching United Mine.
Workers, right and left und on every
occasion. Ittit these men are true to
the organization und when offered
money to create discord or aid In any
way In breaking the strike, they come
to the Puked Mine Workers' ofllces
and report the attempts at brlbcVy.
Ml'. Meniolo asked If according to
"Haw. Divine Itlght Uaer," the men
were staying out simply becnuse they
wanted protection. Xo. they were not,
he said, but were out to remain until
the demands are granted. "We want
them and we must have them before
We go to work. Let them send federal
troops or any others; It won't make any
difference." lie alleged that there are
agents of the coal companies In the big
cities recruiting men 'to work In the
mines on the strength of representa
tions that they were to be employed on
railroad work at 5J.rii pr day. Their
car fare home was promised In case
the work be unsatisfactory. In a case
a few days ago, at a mine down the
valley the seven men were not allowed
transportation when they refused to
take work at which they were not
familiar. These same men had to be
taken care of by the United Mine
Workers, These arc men who have
jiifjt came to the country, ho said, who
do not know what a labor union Is or
the meaning of a strike.
Finally Mr. Meniolo vouched for the
fidelity of the Italian mine workers
who he assuerd would not go back
until the strike he declared off.
Secretary Dempsey covered a good
deal "of the ground gone over by Or
ganiser Meniolo, and In addition made
an earnest plea for loyalty to President
Mitchell. "You men need .lohn Mit
chell now, and John Mitchell needs
you."
The resolutions which were prepared
by the committee composed of John
Barrett, of local St I: Michael MeCann,
of local S44; Hon. Thomas Mooney, of
local OHO; John Meldon, of local 1,897;
William Uureck, of local 1,700: Kells
Paone, of local 1,(!06. and Thomas J.
Murphy, or local 1,(111 submitted the
following resolutions:
Whereas. President .Mitchell, of tile
United .Mine Workers of America, called
on all local unions to meet this day for
the purpose of giving expression of their
sentiment on the present strike; and.
Whereas. The piesldents of the rnll
ro.nl and mining companies, at a recent
meeting with tlie president of the United
States and the president" of districts Xos.
1, 7 and !i. .said that our organization
was, by mmilcr, violence and Intimida
tion, slopping the mining of coal, and.
further said If proper protection was
given thoin they could and would mine
coal: tlieiefur be It
TJesolved, That we, the members of the
above locals, comprising all the mlneis
of fhe city of Curlioiidale, do again re
new our allegiance to the caip-e we rep
resent, and say to our fearless and faith
ful leader. President John .Mitchell, that
we .land ready ami willing to remain on
strike until every demand made hy the
mineis be conceded by the operalias.
And we further say to the operators
that If all the. soldiers at the command
of the United States, as well as all the
states, were among us, their presence
would nit move one of us from the stand
we have taken.
Hi-solved, Further, that we condemn
the uncalled-tor attack made upon us by
the pre-ldents of the coal companies,
when lliev say we are murderers and us
ing unlawful acts of all kinds to further
our ends, and we say to the honorable
president of these United States, when
the coal company presidents made these
charges against us, llicy knew that the
facts did not warrant anything of the
kind, as lawle-sness of every kind Is now,
and has been since the stiike, cried down
hy belli our ollleers and members of the
union. We further wish to condemn
without measure the actions of the thugs
or so-called deputies, who have been and
nrc still, trying to create trouble, so that
tho public may be made to believe Unit
their overt acts were committed hy
striking miners.
Hcsolvcd, Further, that we offer our
services to the local iiiilliortles at all
times for the proper keeping- of the peace
in our midst.

ANOTHER PIONEER
ENTERS INTO REST
Patrick Lunny, One of tho Town's
Enrly Citizens, Succumbs, After
Lingering- Illness.
Another of the pioneers of Carbon
dale has entered Into eternal sleep. He
Is Patrick A. Lunny, whu miccutnbrd
at the residence, lot South Main
street, shortly nftor tho noon hour yes
terday, lie had been sick for about
six years, with a complication of dis
eases, the climax to a life of unceasing
activity, being the cause of deiith.
The death of Mr. Lunny marks tho
passing of one of the characters of
Carbondalc, He came here In his youth
from Xew York city, where he was a
newsboy on that city's busy streets.
He was a vigorous, active young man,
und entered Into the activities of the
growing village. In this way, tho
events oT those days were strongly Im
pressed on his mind. His mirth and
humor, characteristic ot his race, lent
a' charm to the early-day stories that
ho was wont to relate when pressed
by friends, There was an historical
Importance, aleo, attached to his knowl
edge of the pioneer Carbondalc. For
years he was engineer on the old
Gravity, when water power turned
the wheels, For many years, Mr. Lun
ny was engaged In the wholesale beer
business. About live years ngo, ac
quiring a competence, he retired from
work and spent his leisure hours about
the drug store of his son. Mr. Lunny
was a genial soul, whose company was
always a pleasure. Ills gentleness and
kindness won him many friends, who
will mourn the loss of him.
The deceased is survived by his wife,
who was Miss Kate C.leiinon, and to
whom he was wedded about forty-live
years ago, anil three sons, Thomas,
Patrick and John A. Lunny, the Xorth
Main street druggist; one sister, Mrs.
Kate Corcoran, of the West, and one
brother, Daniel Lunny, of PIttston, for
mer chler of police of Carbondalc.
The funeral will take place Saturday
morning. The procession will leave
the residence at 0.30, and at 10 o'clock
it high mass of requiem will be sung
in St. Itpse church. Burial will be in
St. i'ose cemetery.
OWEN FINNEY DEAD.
A Well-Known Resident of DundafE

Owen Finney, u prominent and re
spected resident -of Dundaff, died at his
home last evening, during the hour be
tween (! and 7 o'clock. Mr. Finney had
been 111 about one week with typhoid
fever. Death came to him quietly and
he passed away surrounded by many
sorrowing relatives.
Mr. Finney was CO years old and had
lived here all bis life, and was quite
well known and generally respected
throughout this part of the county. He
was a man of steady habits, with qual
ities that won for him a wide circle of
friends. He Is survived by one brother,
Howell, and two sisters, Mrs. Itev. S.
S. Day and Miss Jennie Finney, of
Florida. The funeral arrangements

BELL IN PLACE.
New Chiming- Piece in Tower of
Methodist Church.
The new sweet-sounding chime for
the First Methodist church was erected
yesterday in the new tower of tho re
constructed church.
The placing of the new bell in place
is .something of more than, passing Im
portance, for the interest is wide-spread
the cost of It being met by several
hundred persons, who contributed each
one dollar, by purchasing mlnature
bells made from the old bell, which
was cracked in the recent, lire.
The bell Is larger than the old one
and next to the one In St, Itose church,
the largest one In the city.
Last Night's Piny.
Owing to the Illness of Miss Kntherlne
lluber, the performance In the Orand
last evening was a Southern comedy.
Sapho, which was to be played is
one of Miss Itober's heaviest roles and
could not be entrusted to an under
study. The physicians last evening stated
for you to enjoy
7 the liapptues:: o'f

times he qualifies the statement, and
says: "Impossible without an opera

have been made possibles by the use
ot ur. nerce's favorite urc

Which suggests warmer underwear.
Which suggests again Connolly & Wallace's.
Not another stock auywhere like we have nearly everything here was made
