Statement by a Well Known Labor Leader Anent the Sitaation in This District Rel- ative to the Coal Strike—Miners’ Relief is to be Increased, Wm. McPherson, vice president of this sub-district of the United Mine Workers, was in town Monday. In speaking of the strike Mr. McPherson said: “This is going to be a fight to the finish, and we’re going to win it. The striking miners realize the importance of winning this fight and they are will- ing to make sacrifices, in fact, they have been making sacrifices since April 1, and they are still determined to stand firm. ’ + This is now the only coal field i the country that has not yet come to an amicable agreement on the wage scale. All the others are at work and the min- ers in this field who have been liying from hand to mouth since the struggle began will be better paid for their gtand for the union. We have been paying $2 to every married striker, $1 to each single man and 50 cents for each child in the family. You know, men can’t indulge in many luxuries at that income. But from now on the in- come of these men will be doubled and they will be in a position to remain idle for the remainder of the year, if necessary. ‘t The operators will tell you that the gtrike hinges on the check-off. That’s not true. If they will agree to pay the 1903 scale, outside the check-off, the men will be back at work inside of 24 hours. The operators should be fair. They will check-off money for store bills, doctors’ bills and all other bills, but they say they cannot check-off for the miner. Let them pay the miner his full wages in cash and permit him * to buy where he pleases and the miner won’t ask him to collect the check-off. “The operators are now playing their last card—importing non-union labor. This will fail and I look for a settlement in a short time. About 10,000 of the 55,000 miners of this field are at work. Only a few non-union men are in the lot, the others being United Mine workers, employed by operators paying the scale. There have been a few evictions of miners from company houses, but most companies have not disturbed the men. Four families are to be set out at Moss Creek and half a dozen at Greenwich. Seventeen fam- ilies have “been notified to vacate at Patton and some at Boardman, but that’s all.” : Vice President McPherson was ar- rested Tuesday for intimidating men at a mine near Cherrytree, but he made light of the suit. He waived a hearing at Barnesboro and gave bail for court. He declared that all he did was to in- duce a number of non-union men at the mine to quit work and leave, using moral suasion instead of intimidation. He had a talk with them on the public road and not on the company property. He declares it only spite work. ANTHONY ANNA DEAD. One of the 01d Pioneers of Northern Cam- bria Called Home. Anthony Anna, one of the best known men in the north of the county, died at his home in Hastings Tuesday evening at the advanced age of sev- enty-two years. He had been ill for some time past and his death was not unexpected. ’Squire Anna, as he was familiarly kdown, was born in Germany and came to this country when he was nine years of age, his parents sgttling near St. Boniface, on the land where the town of Hastings now stands. He lived in this locality all of his life, and was at one time quite prominent in Democratic politics, having been elected county auditor in 1873, and in 1897 been advanced to the position of county commissioner by his party. He also served as burgess of Hastings for several terms and had filled the office of justice of the peace for many years. He is survived by a number of sons! and daughters. The funeral was held this morning with services in St. Ber- nard’s church, Hastings, and inter- ment in the Catholic cemetery at St. | Boniface. Notice to Tax Payers. The duplicate of school and borough taxes for 1906 is now in my hands for eollection, with 5 per cont off unl Sentoraboe Ist, 1906 After December 1st, 1906, 5 per cent will be added. J. D. Lyons, Tax Collector Patton Borough. Patton, Pa., July 1st, 1906, SPECIAL MEETING. | —— Transact Considerable Business, with all the members present. The contract for paving 600 feet on Magee, 670 feet on Beech and 350 feet on Fourth avenues was awarded to the Philipsburg Paving company, the low- est bidder, for $10,469.74. A letter was read from Health Officer Worrell recommended the construction of a sewer on West Russell and Kerr avenues to connect with the Fifth ave- nue sewer and the matter was referred to the street committee. The unsafe condition of the over head bridge on McIntyre avenue was discussed at considerable length. It appears that on March 10, 1897, the councilmen then in office agreed to keep the bridge in repair perpetually if it was built at the expense of the Pennsylvania Railroad company. The latter corporation accepted the propo- sition and the council in regular session extended them a vote of thanks. This procedure does not meet with the ap- proval of the present board, who are of the opinion that the old council ex- ceeded their authority in making an agreement of that charaeter without an ordinance. The bridge has been in an unsafe con- dition for some time and the borough has refused to repair it. At the meet- ing Saturday evening the clerk was in- structed to notify the Pennsylvania | Railroad company that the borough was not in financial condition to repair the bridge and that it would have to be torn down and a grade crossing estab- lished at either Highland, Harriman or McIntyre avenue. In addition to the bills for street work the following were ordered paid: | J. D. Lyons $8.50, Patton COURIER | $98.20, H. E. Barton $9, H. A. Leiden | son $1, George S. Good Electric Light | Patton Water Co. $40, H. G. Philips $9, H. A. Witherow $1.25, W. P. Jack- | { Co. $103.20, Frank C. Hoerl $12.90, | | Borough Dads Hold Extra Session and | Good Men and Trae Drawn to Serve ss | | Joseph Springer, farmer, Barr town- ($2.50, Ed S. Moore $20, Patton Clay Mfg. Oo., $17.03, W. J. Gill $60, Cole Bros. $2.31.» i THE SHERIFF WINS. | Suit of Lenhart Against County Was De- | cided in His Favor. | Sheriff Lenhart has won out again in | his suit against the county, the su- | preme court on Wednesday affirming the decision of the court below. It will be remembered that the claim | made by Sheriff Lenhart that the act | of 1901 governed his compensation for | transporting prisoners to the peniten- tiary was denied by the county com- missioners and the amounts claimed were held up by them. Sheriff Len- hart, through his counsel, P. J. Little, of Ebensburg, entered suit for the sums claimed. The contention of the sheriff’s coun- sel ‘was that the act 1901 repealed all other previous acts and that the sheriff was entitled to mileage from each pris- ioner transported to the penitentiary, but no tees whatsoever. Judge O’Con- nor, before whom the case was tried, sustained the contention of the sheriff and took the case from the jury. The county commissioners. appealed to the superior court. This tribunal affirmed the findings as to the law of thegower court, but found that there were some matters of fact, such as what was the reasonable compensation for deputies, that should have been sent to the jury, and therefore ordered a new trial. In sustaining the position of the superior court the supreme court finds for Sheriff Lenhart and against the contention of the county commis- sioners. 5 : SCHWAB DROPPED $126,000. Suffered Big Loss Rather Than See Friends Sustain Smaller Ones. Rather than see his friends lose their money in the Williamsburg Paper Mill company, which he built, Charles M. Schwab sacrificed $126,000 in cold cash when he sold out his holdings to the paper trust. Schwab was the majority stockholder and could have disposed of his hold- ings at a profit of $126,000. However, | he remembered that because of the po- tency of his name many of his boy- hood friends at Williamsburg. had in- vested the savings of a lifetime in the E. M.
