SITUATION IN
ANTHRACITE FIELD
Whether tJiere wiL be a strike of the
anthracite miners after the expiration
of the present agreement between the
operators and their employees depends
a great deal on the way the presidents
of the coal companies receive the offer
of President Lewis, of the United
Mine Workers, to meeting in Joint
conference,says the Philadelphia Led
ger.
There is a different man at the head
of the miners' union than there was
three years ago. Lewis is not as dip
lomatic as Mitchell. He doseu't
mince words. He cannot see why the
operators in the anthracite region can
not treat directly with their men the
same as the operators in the bitumin
ous region do with their employees.
It is known t'mt Lewis is heartily in
favor of recognition of the uuion in
the anthracite region. He stated so
publicly on the floor of the natioual
convention at Indianapolis two weeks
ago. The operators on the other haul,
have always refused to treat directly
with the representatives of the min
ers' union, and the men who framed
this policy for the operators are still
in control. If President Baer, of the
Reading company, has changed his
mind no one has heard of it. The feel
ing seems to be stoug here that a com
promise will be reached and that there
will he no suspension of mining. The
coal year begins on April Ist, and on
that date the present agreemnet be
tween men and operators will expire.
Whatever agreements are to bo made
as to wages and working conditions
will then have to be completed and
will go into effect. The proposed con
ference of the miners is expected to
formulate their platform, whioh they
will present to the operators for con
clusion in this treaty. One of the de
mands which will be made will be for
the recognition of the unions as rep
resented by the workers. Men who
are well informedjon the situation in
the anthracite regions assert that the
chief reason behind the miners' agita
tion is the fact that the unions are
rapidly declining in influence.

tricts—thirteen in number—wero all

exercises. Wallace Fetzer, county
superintendent of Northumberland
oounty, presided at the meeting, j
Among others, I. O. M. Ellenberger, J
superintendent of the Sunbury schools,
and W. A. Wilson, superintendent of
the Milton schools, were present and
delivered addresses. School directors
belonging to the three districts were J

facts relating' to it. The atti i CM
j every teacher was sufficient in itself
ito refleot the interest tiiat is ,'felt in

' the three districts are thoroughly wide

that the changes proposed are all tor
1 the better.

! hury spoke on the subject of penman
ship. He condemned tne vertical eyg
tetn, which he said is pretty sure to
lead to hack-handed writing. He made
a plea for ease and naturalness in
writing, attaching little importance to
either position or method of holding
the pen so long as these afford the
student comfort atld freedom of move
ment.

esteemed resident of Montour |

at 1 o'clock Monday morning aged (
81 years and 30 days. <
Mr. Oromley was a stone mason and |
followed that occupation up to within j
a few years of his death. He was a <
man of vigorous constitution and well i
preserved for his years. Up to within ' ]
a short time it was quite customary j,
for him to walk from his home to ! >

some twelve miles. He was a good \
citizen, a kind-hearted generous man,
who will he affectionately remember
ed for many years.not only by his im
mediate family, but also by the en
tire community.
Mr. Oromley had been ill for nearly
a year, the cause of deatii being dropsy.
An unfortunate circumstance connect- ,
ed with his demise is the fact that his
wife, who Is advanoed in years, is ly- j
ing very seriously ill of nervous pros-1
tration.
Besides his widow the deceased is'
; survived by a daughter, Mrs. McKeivey 1

CHICKEN THIEVES
AT WORK EARLY
That chicken thieves of tiie boldest
type are operating in Danville is evi
denced by a raid that was made on the
coop of O. R. Shilling, Front street,
Sunday during the early evening. Six
fine bred and laying pullets were the
plunder with which the robbers escap
ed.
The daring of the thieves is shown
by the fact that their raid was made
during the early evening, when the
Shillings were at home and long be
fore any of the neighbors had retired.
It was about eight o'clock that Oharles
Fisher, who resides on East Market
street,and whose lot is separated from
Mr. Shilling's yard by an alley, saw
several men running away from the
vicinity of the Shilling hennery. He
did not realize that a robbery had been
perpetrated,and it was not until Mon
day morning that Mr. Shilling discov
ered his loss.
Mr. Shilling lias several clews and
states that he has some hope of being
: able to fasten the theft on the right
; parties. At least he is certain that in
the future his chicken house will be
well guarded, and that any night time
visitors hereafter will receive a warm
reception.
