As Oood as a Factory
An effort is being made to get one or
two Industries started In Reynoldsvillo
that will bo a benefit to the town.
This Is tho proper thing to do, and
ith our cheap fuel, railroad facilities,
water supply, good schools, &c, &c,
the town should have a number of large
Industries that would give employment
to hundreds of mon. While these
things are possible If the proporeffort is
put forth, yet there Is a way whereby
the town can be greatly benefitted,
which only requires the citizens to be
loyal to tho town, and that is to spend
your money at home. There is entirely
too much of the money that should re
main In Reynoldsvllle that Is sent to
other towns. You tako the town that
Is tho most prosperous and you will seo
that the peoplo of that placo spend
their money at homo. When the busi
ness men of a town set the example by
sending away for certain things they do
not handle, but some one else In the
town does, they cannot complain if their
neighbors do the same thing. It may
be possible that a few cents can be
saved by sending away, but It also takes
that much financial vitality from our
town and gives it to another. It the
citizens of the place will all spend their
money at home for food, clothing and
many other things, It will be as much
of a benefit to the town in one year as a
good sized Industry would be. Try it
and see.

MINERS ARE AT WORK.
A False Report Causes Two Days Idle
ness Meeting Sundny,
In our last issuo we published tho
proposition to the miners from the com
pany and stated that we thought that
tho men would decide at a meeting that
day to go to work, Tho men accepted
the proposition and went to work Thurs
day morning. It was reported that
Superintendent Reed had said in the
London mlno Thiirsduy that the ma
chine men would only get 17 cents per
ton for louding, and this report reached
the men at Reynoldsvillo and there was
such a dissatisfaction here and at Du
Bols Friday morning that tho men re
fused to go to work, and tho mines at
these two places were Idlo Friday and
Saturday, while tho men nt tho other
mines ot tho compuny worked. It is
claimed that the report that Supt.
Reed had made such a statement was
fulse. Tho committee met In DuBols
Saturday and tho committeemen from
all tho mines but Reynoldsvillo and Du
Bols snld that they had been instructed
to report that the men would contlnuo
to work until tho committee returned
from the Pittsburg region.
General Manager Robinson had tho
following notico posted nt this placo
Saturday ovening, dated thut day:
We havo assured your Committee
that we appreciate the earnest efforts
being made to como to an amicable
settlement, and have indicated to them
that we are willing to insure that an
advance to 22 cents for machine load
ing will bo granted, and also an advance
ot ono half cent for machine cutting,
and more, should we find that prices
paid in rittsburg entitle you to It.
This with tho understanding that our
men keep pood faith with us, and re
main at work until the return of thoir
committee, and report mado, which
will bo dono tho coming week, and as
early in the week as possible. The
prices paid, laoor win also ho investi
gated, and drivers and all other labor
will receive all that they are justly on
titled to, based on settlement as mado
in the Pittsburg region, and what the
investigation shows to be fair and right.
This with the understanding that our
men act in good faith, and remain at
work, and carry out the contract as
agreed with us. Tho committee are
apparently working hard, and in good
faith to do what Is right, and we claim
tho same on our part.
X want to say further that our men
who have kept faith, and are now work
ing, are eoimr to bo fullv protected.
and paid these rates at least, for all the
work they have done since Thursday,
September the 0th last, just as we
originally agreed.
A largo mass meeting was held above
Preseottville Sunday afternoon and the
Reynoldsvillo and Rathmel men decid
ed to go to work again Monday
morning, but the DuBols men are out
yet. There was some difficulty on the
part of the English speaking people
to get the foreign element persuaded
to go to work, but they were finally suc
cessful.
The foreigners raised considerable
excitement at DuBols Friday evening
by showing signs of riot and threatening
to shoot any person who attempted to
go Into the mine to work. Sheriff Burns
and a few deputies were at London mine
early Saturday morning to protect any
of the miners who were willing to go to
work, but the tumult of the night be'
fore had subsided and there were no
signs of trouble, but there were not
enough men present to start the mines,
Warrants were placed In the hands of
Sheriff Smith, of Clearfield county.
for eleven of the foreigners, eight of
whom were arrested and taken in a
wagon to the Clearfield jail Saturday
night.
