Other Reforms,
Patton has at last been given a place | Free from any suspicion of insidious

on a Republican county ticket.
E. Dale is the nominee of that party
for sheriff, and when the votes are
counted in November it will be found
that the convention, which convened
at Ebensburg Monday afternoon, made
no mistake when it placed that popular
Pattonite on the ticket.
The convention was called to order
by County Chairman Charles E. Trox-
ell and Philip M. Smith, of Johnstown,
and Thomas Myers, of Gallitzin, were
named as temporary secretaries.
Harvey Roland, of Ebensburg, was
chosen permanent chairman of the
convention. On motion
Greene, of Patton, the temporary sec-
retaries were continued in office as|
permanent secretaries.
Mr. Roland named this committee on |
resolutions, which was instructed to
retire and prepare its report: M. B.
Stevens, of Johnstown; Joel A. Glass,
of White township, and Dr. W. W.
Livingston, of Adams township.
The nomination of candidates was
begun by E. Will Greene, who pre-
sented the name of John M. Reynolds
for renomination as the district’s rep-
resentative in congress. Mr. Greene
was followed by M. B. Stevens, who
seconded the nomination, but Senator
" Stineman, of South Fork amended the
motion to permit of Mr. Reynolds’ |
choosing his own confeeres to the con-
gressional conference. The amend-
ment and original resolution both
passed unanimously.
Jesse E. Dale was nominated for
sheriff by Editor Anderson H. Walters,
of the Johnstown Tribune, and he was
chosen by acclamation, as was Conrad
Bader, of Johnstown, for poor director
and William H. Killen, of Jackson
township, for jury commissioner.
Mr. Bader’s nomination followed the

| those who follow it are entitled to full-

| First—An employers’ liability act.
Second--An act creating a commis-

of E. Will
operators, mine inspectors and miners,
| whose duty it shall be to investigate
and recommend such a revision of the
mining laws as the needs of the pres-
ent time indicate.
We favor the establishment of a
maximum two-cent passenger rate for
railroads; the right of electric and other
power railways to carry freight and
exercise every other right and privi-
| lege possessed by steam railroads, in
order that the people may have the
advantage of fair and open competi-
tion;legislation that will provide means
for the enforcement of the constitu-
tional prohibition of railroads engaging
in business foreign to their charter
rights, and improvements in public
roads.
We express our unqualified approval
of the acts for the regulation of the
expenditure of money at elections, the
personal registration act and the pri-
| mary election law passed at the special
session of the general assembly.

It was explained to the
convention that Mr. Jones

tend his possible election to the office.
Upon motion of H. Will Greene, the
Cambria county at this time.

junction with the grangers. He urges
all who ean to attend and says in part:
| “Experience has taught us that the
. old methods used by labor to secure
| legislation has been futile. We voted
| continually for promises that have
{never been fulfilled. We have sent our
legislative committees to Harrisburg to
[lobby in the interest of the bills we
|desired. We asked and plead like
| crouching supplicants, and in return
| were treated as dogs; refused even a
| erumb that fell from the table of our
| legislative masters. We presented our
| bill for the revision of the mining laws,
| our liability bill and other bills that
deserve humane consideration. We
| showed that the passage of these bills
| meant life to us and bread to our fittle
ones. And in reply they gave us the
state constabulary. We asked for bread
| and they gave us a stone.”
David Irvine, president, and J. W.
| Marsden, secretary-treasurer of this
sub-district, have issued a call for a
convention to be held in the grand jury
{room at Ebensburg to-day, at which
delegates will be elected to the conven-
tion to nominate a labor ticket. Mem-
bers of all local unions and laboring
men are invited to be present.
It is alleged that discrimination in
the supply of coal cars has been prac-
ticed in a new way by the Pennsyl-
vania railroad. .
Hardly a car has been permitted to
| pass over the Tyrone division, to reach
the mines. At the recent convention
between the miners and operators a
minority of the operators signed the
| 1903 wage scale and started their oper-
| ations. The majority in number and
| coal output refused to enter into the
| agreement with the mine workers, and
| their operations are idle.
| It is stated these operators who did
| not sign have induced the railroad
company not to furnish cars for those
| who have signed the scale, so as to aid
the big operators in their fight against
| the union.
| The result is that although hundreds
of empty cars are in storage, hardly
| any haye been distributed to the oper-
| ators desiring to work, and there is
| almost as complete’ a tie-up as if the
{ entire region were on a strike.

FOUR WILL'GRADUATE.
Interesting Program Being Prepared and
an Inovation in the Way of Commence-
ment Exercises—President of School Board
Will Present the Diplomas.
The local high school will hold its
annual commencement exercises next
Thursday evening in the assembly
hall of the school building. This will
be the seventh commencement held by
the high school and it promises to be
one of the most interesting in its his-
tory. There will be a slight deviation
from the routine commencement pro-
gram. Instead of all the graduates
giving original parts, two of the num-
ber will declaim.
It is hoped that the people will show
their interest in the schools and in
these young people who are about to
close their public school career by be-
ing present at their gradmation. The
program has not yet been definitely
arranged, final examinations not yet
being over.
Following is a list of the graduates
with the part each will take:
Recitation, “Connor,” Bertha Eliza-
beth Mellon.
Declamation, ‘The New South,”
James Scanlan Mullen.
Oration, Pyramids, or National
Ideals,”” Rachel Marie Haden.
Oration, “The Open Door,” Harry
Grey Dunegan.
As usual there will be good music.
Wm. H. Denlinger will present the
diplomas and the class address will be
delivered by the Rev. Horace Lincoln
Jacobs, of Altoona. Owing to the
demands upon Mr. Jacobs’ time by
schools of higher learning for similar
exercises, the class is most fortunate
to have been able to secure his servi-
ces. :
