WHEN BALLOTS FELL
IN STATE ELECTION
Incidents Noted in Cities and Towns of the Commonwealth
While Freemen Were Casting Their Votes on
Tuesday; Post-Election Observations
Because the sky was overcast old
time politicians in Northumberland
county were disposed to look upon
the election as favorable to the
Democrats, but it did not turn out
that way, the Republicans electing
their candidates. Sunbury rallied to
the support of the proposition for a
commision form of government,
which helped bring out the vote.
The election board in the Second
ward of Carlisle discovered seven
ballots missing from the number
furnished them.
Carlisle's borough council stand
9 to 5 Republican, with one vacancy
In the Third ward.
Shippensburg again voted against
the granting of liquor licenses for
that town by a substantial majority.
On the proposition to divide
Frankford township in Cumberland
county the vote was a tie. The vot
ers of Penn township defeated the
consolidated school proposition.
John W. Blake, Republican, who
was defeated for the mayoralty of
Altoona, gracefully congratulated his
successful opponent, .of whom he
said: "He, like myself, had the
courage and manhood not to sign
away his rights.'
With the exception of register and
recorder. Blair county Republicans
elected their ticket, but by reduced
majorities, ascribed to the large vote
cast for the Labor party ticket.
According to the provisions of the
Wallace act, City Commissioners C.
H. Cassidy and W. C. Westfall will
enter upon a four-year term as mem
ber of Altoona council on Janu
ary 5.

MINERS TO TRY TO
CRUSH INUNCTION
[Continued from First Page.]
President Wilson, advanced in an ef
fort to prevent the strike of the
miners and made it apparent that
they are determined to follow the
Jead of the govern-,-ent in any action
looking to the ending of the strike.
More Mines Open
Huntington. \V. Va., Nov. 6.—Ten j
additional coal mines in West Vir- |
pinia employing union labor opened j
yesterday and production in both '
union end non-union fields increased ;
according to a statement issued hi
lt' 11.I 1 . Cunningham, secretary of the
West Virginia Coal Association. Sev- i
en of the mines which opened up are
111 the New River district, one in the
Wheeling district and two in the
Northern West Virginia fields, the re
port said. _
All non-union mines in the Poca
hontas. Tug River. Williamson. Txigan
and Winding Gulf fields were report
ed operating and tonnage and pro
duction were declared to be norm ..
firrrn Has New Plan
Indianapolis, Nov. 6. William
Green, aecretary-treasurer of the
United Mine Workers of America.
fUßKostp us a means of settling? the
strike of coal miners, that the gov- j
eminent arrange for a conference of,
miners and operators and "command
them to reacli a agreement."
"The real way to settle the strike
Is for the govemmnt to bring all its
moral and legal influence toward
bringing the operators and miners to
gether and command them to reach an
agreement," Mr. Green's statement
said. "This is the practical way to got
the mines started."
Both Sides Agree U- S.
Stand Sweeps Hope of
Settlement Aside
( hiciKO. Nov. 6.—The dispute be
tween bituminous coal mine operat
ors and union miners which resulted
In virtual cessation ot the production
throughout the country last Friday
night continued deadlocked to-day
with leaders of both producers and
miners agreed that the refusal of the
Department of Justice td withdraw
the injunction proceedings against of
ficers of the United Mine Workers of
America had swept away hope of im
mediate settlement of the strike.
As approximately 425.000 miners re
mained idle for the sixth day. further
steps had been taken to reduce the
menace of a threatened coal shortage,
already imminent in some sections.
Six passenger trains had been re
moved from service on railroads in
the Middle West and Federal Fuel Ad
ministrator Garfield had been clothed
with full authority over prices, dis
tribution and shipment of fuel.
To the pleas of several Nebraska
tc-wns, loiwa and California added re
quests for relieving the threatened
shortage. The mayor of Topeka,
Kas., telegraphed B. A Rowc, Middle
West coal director at Chicago, that
that city was without a ton of coal
iti Its market and "hundreds of fam
ilies are in immediate need."
California coal dealers asked for
the release of coal confiscated by the
Federal Fuel Administration, and the
It wa Fuel Administrator complained
against the continuation in service of
luxurious transcontinental passenger
tiains. .
Preparations for reopening the
mines at McCurtain, Ok la., to-day
with 450 men, mostly farmers, prom
ised to be an interesting develop
ment. Should the mines be worked.
1: would be the first break in the coal
strike in the southwest.
From West Virginia and Colorado,
came the only reports of increased
production since the walkout became
effective. Thirty-one union mines
were said to be in operation in West
