Patton Defeats Morrisdale Mines and Ty- rone on Friday. * On last Friday the Patton base ball team drove to Glen Hope and succeeded in capturing two games of ball, one from the Morrisdale team and one from the Tyrone team. The game in the morning was very much one- sided and uninteresting, the Patton LOCAL IND GENERAL NEWS the “Courier” Reporter. THE SOFT COAL TRADE As Editor R. A. Kinsloe, of the Philipsburg Record, Views It, It is an unusual condition of affairs to find the miners of the Clearfield and Beech Creek regions at work when others are on strike, but this is accounted for by the fact that the any of the competitive districts. We do not speak of conditions, because while the scale of wages is 45 cents, at too many mines conecssions have been made by the miners to such an extent that coal does not cost 45 cts. a ton for its digging and loading. However,these are exceptions, the rule being that full rate is paid at a large majority of the mines. The week will show a slight falling off in output from what it has been for two months past, the falling off being on account of consumers realizing that there is now no longer any danger of a general strike in the Clearfield and Beech Creek regions. It would not surprise us if for some time to come the miners would make less than half-time, the slackness con- on hand is consumed. The western strike has been settled by the miners agreeing to compromise rate of 65 cents a ton. A proviso was sumed in the Pittsburg and Ohio dis- tricts for ten days, in order to give the to terms with their employers and to prevent Pittsburg and Ohio operators from taking the trade that belonged to others. The proviso was not lived up to by many miners in the Pittsburg | district, and their failure to do so is | likely to make a split in the organ- | ization. : | Work has been resumed throughout {the Reynoldsville-DuBois district ex- | cept the two mines near DuBois, the tinuing until the surplus stock of coal | adopted that work was not to be re- * men in other regions a chance to come | team winning by a score of 14 to 2, ball. school boys in town who could beat Morrisdale at the game they were playing.
