MANY COUNTIES 10
SEND DELEGATIONS
Local Option Demonstration to Ee
One of Most Notable Ever Held
in State Capital
BACKING UP THE GOVERNOR
Father Curran to Be One of the
Speakers; Executive Is
Smilingly Confident
Men are coming from every county
in Pennsylvania to attend the big
demonstration in favor of local option
next Tuesday and from letters received
by the Governor to-day it would ap
pear that some counties arc going to
send big delegations in addition to
those which are coming in force from
Philadelphia and Allegheny. Greens
burg to-day sent word that it would
send a delegation and nearby cities
will be well represented.
Governor Brumbaugh to-day made
public a telegram received from the
Rev. J. J. Curran. noted Wilkes-Rarre
priest, in which he said: "Will be
glad to help out on proposed local
option law. Can be at Harrisburg at
noon Tuesday." Father Curran is to
be one or the speakers.
The idea has gotten out that there
will be cards of admission required
to attend the meeting and hearing.
This is a mistake. Everyone will be
welcome. It will be a people's dem
onstration with no doors closed or
gates barred. That is the Governor's
plan.
Governor Brumbaugh appeared to
be welt satisfied with the local option
outlook to-day. while his friends were
smiling broadly. Apparently "swear
ing in" has become one of the most
popular acts on the Hill.
T. Larry Eyre, of Chester, who of
fered the local option plan when the
Republican platform was under con
sideration at Pittsburgh, is looking
after things in the eastern counties
and seems as confident as the Gover
nor.

mond Swoboda, one of the passengers
aboard the French line steamer La
Touraine, which was Imperiled by a

had been charged with the task of
blowing up the Touraine. He has

Investigation made by experts ap

the fact that the blaze aboard the Tou

explosion of some detonating device.
Statements made by passengers and
members of the crew support this
story. The explosion was sufficiently

Increase Ordered For
Men in Mines; Back
Pay of S3OO For Many
By Associated Press
Hazleton, Pa., March 31.—That elec
tricians. electricians' helpers, watch
men, fire bosses, stable bosses, engi
neers and other men in and about the
i anthracite mines are entitled to a
| wage advance of ten per cent, dating
i from the amended agreement In effect
| between the operators and their em
ployes since 1912 was decided to-day
| by former United States Judge George
Gray, of Wilmington, Del., as umpire
of the Anthracite Conciliation Board.
The decision sustains the grievance of
the stable bosses, engineers and fire
| bosses of the Pancoast-Prlco Coal
Company, of Throop, Lackawanna
county, who got a five and a half per
cent, wage increase in 1912 when the
miners received ten per cent, under
the contract that went into effect that
year. Judge Gray rules that the
agreement embodied all employes In
and about the mines, although prior to
i 1912 many of the monthly hands had
I not been considered subjects to the
11902 award of the strike commission
I named by President Theodore Roose
velt. The company contended that the
wages of these men had gone up
through voluntary grants from S6O to
S9O a month in the last thirteen years
but JuUlge Gray rules that despite this
they must be paid the 10 per cent. In
crease. This means back pay to the
extent of S3OO to some of the workers.
