COM.
NEW UNION STARTED.
Another Great Effort to be Made in
Organizing the Minertt.
From Tamaqua comes word that there
is a movement on foot to organize a new
union among the miners and laborers of
the anthracite coal region. The new
movement is not the result of a few dis
satisfied at any particular colliery, but
the resul of a general protest of men in
the whole region, whose wages have
been greatly reduced by several ob
noxious systems of mining practised by
the combine. The work of governing
the new association will be entirely dif
ferent to any of the old organizations—
everything will be in the hands of local
men.
The honor of acknowledged leader
ship will fall to no one man. The local
assemblies will meet weekly and every
thing will be thoroughly and openly dis
cussed and reports made to the district
assemblies.
The men in and around Northumber
land county are credited with effecting
the first local organization, and there are
few, if any, of the men in that section
who are not enrolled as members.
All workingmen about the mines are
especially requested to at least be present
at the local meetings. The introductory
fee of 60 cents need keep 110 workingman
away. If he has not got this small
amount the assembly will wait until he
can conveniently pay it. The new so
ciety is known as the "Miners and La
borers Amalgamated Association," whose
officers, with the exception of the treas
urer, will bo electedjevery three months.
Its organization is exclusively for miners
and laborers.
The meetings, however are op >ll for
mine bosses or business men if they de
sire to come. Its constitution and by
laws are particularly opposed to stikes.
believiug that there are more satisfactory
means of adjusting labor troubles. The
object of the labor organization is not to
wage war on employers unloss they bring
it upon themselves by refusing to ac
knowledge the rights of labor.
An appeal is made to the miners and
laborers to act promptly in the matter of
swelling the roll of membership, giving
as a reason for speedy action that should
the Reading combination win the suits
now against them in the states of Penn
sylvania, New Jersey and New York,
the work of organization would be up
hill.
Another Day for Freelanil.
Another big day is in store for Free
land on Saturday, September 17. The
event will be a flag-raising on the
grounds of St. John's Hungarian church,
and will be conducted by St. John's Sla
vonian Society. All the societies and
orders of every nationality in Freeland
will be invited to participate in the cele
bration, and it is also expected that at
least forty visiting societies will be here.
Since the organization of St. John's So
ciety the members have accepted all in
vitations sent them, and they are confi
dent the Freeland societies will assist
them in making this affair a most suc
cessful one. Different committees are
now at work making all the necessary
arrangements for the parade and enter
tainment of the societies.
In connection with the flag-raising it
is proposed to have another celebration,
but 110 parade, on Sunday, September
18, when the corner-stone of the new
church will bo laid with the usual im
pressive ceremonies.
Activity in Labor Circles.
A monster meeting of railroad men
was held in the armory at Wilkes-Barro
yesterday. Special trains were run from
all points between Jersey City and Buf
falo.
The K. of L. assemblies located at
Wilkes-Barre, Kingston and Kdwards
ville were reorganized last week. This
is the begining of a movement that is
calculated to bring all the workingmen
of the Wyoming valley back to the
order.
Lehighton Knights held a large public
meeting on Saturday evening and listen
ed to addresses upon labor topics. On
Sunday they attended the M. K. church,
where one of the speakers delivered
another address.
llaxleton Men Won.
A large crowd witnessed the game of
alley ball on Saturday afternoon between
James Broderick and John Welsh, of
llazleton, and Manns Carlin, of Free
land, and Joseph Birkheck, of Drifton.
The contest was exciting and several
good plays were made, but the llazleton
men finally won by a score of 41 to 38.
The winners were challenged by Bilk
beck to play another game against him
self and William Gillespie, of Drifton.
It will be for SIOO a side, and is to take
place at Gallagher's alley on Saturday,
August 20.
Younjf Folk* Knjoy TIICIUKCIvos.
On Thursday evening a very enjoyable
party was given by Miss Nettie Neubur
-8?t ?' her father's residence, in honor
of Misses Flicge and Morris, of Brooklyn,
N. Y.,who are here on a visit. The
residence was neatly decorated with
Chinese lanterns outside and the (reals
of laughter and music denoted that the
young people within were having all tho
pleasure desirable. The party consisted
of about thirty guests, each of whom did
their share towards making the evening
an enjoyable one. At 11.30 o'clock a
repast was served after which instru
mental and vocal music was continued
until an early hour.
Charged With Stealing Beer.
For some time past many petty thefts
have been committed in the vicinity of
Schwabe's butcherine establishment in
South Heberton. About 11 week ago a
keg of beer was missing, and on Friday
Mr. Schwabe had Joe Jamison, John
Walker and Manus Scott arrested for
the theft. At the hearing before Squire
Johnson the two latter disclaimed all
knowledge of the theft, but said they
helped to drink beer with Jamison with
out inquiring where it came from. An
effort was made to settle the case, but
the defendants would not settle, claim
ing they were not guilty. They were
placed under S4OO bail to appear at cpurj.
FREELAND, LUZERNE COUNTY, PA., AUGUST 1, 1892.
UPPER LEHIGH NOTES.
The Tarriers held their regular meet
ing on Saturday evening, and, as usual,
had an interesting time. The Grand
Tarrier, after depositing his "cud" on
the window sill for future use, called the
meeting to order. The secretary being
absent the Jigger was called upon to per
form that officer's duty. When he arose
the fact was revealed that he had collid
ed with somebody since the last meet
ing, as his face hadn't its usual color,
especially around the eyes. The chair
asked him to explain for the benefit of
the club, which he did by saying that
while on his way from Freeland he
stopped to rest at Paddy Ward's, where
he fell asleep.
The flies took advantage of his weari
ness and held a picnic 011 his face. They
had different views of the tariff ques
tion, and in their eagerness to light
several horse-flies kicked his face. The
explanation was satisfactory and an or
der for $3.18 was drawn to purchase a
base ball mask to protect him on all
future trips to Freeland. He began to
call the roll, but broke down several
times, the Grand Tarrier finishing it.
The roll-call showed all the members
present but one, and it was reported
that he had gone into the barber busi
ness on the charity plan. The Grand
Tarrier, upon hearing this charge, put
on his ultra-dignified air, and ordered
the offender to be brought before him.
The doorkeeper went, but returned soon
with the information that he could not
be found. Further action on the case
was postponed until some future date, I
but if the barber appears at a meeting
before the Grand Tarrier goes out of
office he will surely be Streatorized and
should prepare himself by leaving an
order at the blacksmith shop for a pair
of cast-iron thumbs.
A communication was read requesting
the Tarriers to organize a branch at No.
3, to be known as the Stooks. It was
laid on the table. The Blizzard made a
motion to sever all connection with the
Goslin Club of Freeland, claiming that
several of its members were making too
many Wednesday evening visits to this
town. The motion was ruled out of
order, but the Sage insisted on having
his say on the subject. He claimed the
visitors should be welcomed, as he has
four marriageable daughters, and he
thought that if our own young men
won't do something soon we will have
to ask for the aid of the Goslin Club.
The members were in a melancholy
mood all evening, and after appointing
a ccmmittee to investigate the Home
stead trouble and congratulate Manager
I rick upon his unfortunate escape, they
adjourned to meet on Saturday evening,
when nominations for Grand Tarrier
w ill be made.
Fred Lesser, of Silver Brook, spent
Sunday with his mother here.
Miss Mamie Mcllugh, of Audenried,
is among the visitors hero this week.
Boyd Camnbell, despatcher at No. 5,
was caught between two mine cars 011
Saturday and had his knee badly hurt.
S. S. Hover made a business trip to
Shamokin last week.
Miss Sallie Duffy, who has been in
Philadelphia, returned for a visit to her
parents.
Some of the boys are not content with
the sights that may be seen here and in
Freeland. They now make an occasion
al visit to Drums for a change.
Will Bretrem. of Silver Brook, is visit
ing his parents here for a few days.
D. J. Boyle was on the sick list last
week. He is around again.
Jims' 'at is the bigest in this town for
what is considered a boy.
The warm weather of last week is the
sole subject discussed here at present.
One man says when he digs his potatoes,
that it will be no surorise to him if he
finds them cooked and ready for use.
The base ball club of this place is run
on the slow plan and if the management
was shaken up we might see more games.
The Reading combine seems to have
but little effect, or control of the hand
ling of coal from this place. Work is
nearly as steady hero as it ever was,
although since the two weeks pay ceased
we are not content. Steady work, with
a fair chance to eat the earnings out of
the company store before pay day comes,
is about all the benefit that is derived
from it.
The strangest thing in politics is the
stillness which always prevails just
before the battle. For the delegato
election we know that there are at least
four men selected, for as many different
candidates, to enter the race when the
time arrives. With pencil and note
book each have been cjuietly figuring
the number of supporters they are likely
to have, but the indications are that the
Freeland candidate will be the winning
man, notwithstanding the fact that some
of the Democratic bosses prefer the
Hazleton candidate.
T.elilgli Valley Shop Men Dlsililefied.
At no time since the Lehigh Valley
road has been under control of the Read
ing system has there been so much un
easiness among employes at the Easton
shops as at present. The several suspen
sions and reductions which have taken
place from time to time were followed
on Friday by the discharge of eighteen
carpenters and thirteen blacksmiths.
No previous notice had been given the
men. The present force will be reduced
just half. The cause of suspension is
attributed to the fact that no new work
is to be made there.
A Fitting: Occupation.
A dispatch from Hazleton to the New
York World says that a theatrical man
ager telegraphed an offer of S2OO a week
to Colonel Streator to take the nart of
Bin* >n Legree in "Uncle Tom's Cabin."
The offer was rejected with scorn. It is
too bad that Steator refused. He could
play the part of a slave driver to perfec
tion, and he would not require any
rehearsing for to act.

BASE BALL NOTES.
I.ie Fenrnots Win tlie Series of Games
With the Tigers.
The most exciting and one of the pret
tiest games ever played in this section
was seen at Driftm Park on Saturday
afternoon. It was the third and deciding
game between the Fearnots and Tigers,
and the admirers of both clubs were out
in full force. E. McGeehan and Mc-
Garvey, of the Freeland team, were
used by the Tigers, while their opponents
had Mayer, the crack pitcher of Ilazle
ton; Scbmear, who leads Jeanesville in
batting; Steve Welch, of Freeland, and
Herron, of Milnesville. It was a strong
club, and, although the Tigers did not
expect to play against a picked nine
• from Luzerne and Carbon counties, they
faced the music confident of victory.
The Tigers scored in the second and
again in the fourth innings, but were
unable to solve Mayer's curves after
that. The Fearnots made two in the
sixth, owing to an error of a fielder, and
the game continued for eleven innings
with the score 2to 2. The excitement
increased every moment, but the players
on both sides kept cool and nut up a
game that brought forth rounds of ap
plause from the large audience.
The Fearnots had by far the best of
the batting, but were "unable to bunch
their hits or get tliern in when the bases
were filled. When the twelfth inning
opened Boyle made a hit, took second
on a fielding error, was advanced to
third by Mayer's out and scored on a
fumble of Wagner's bit. The side wns
soon after retired, and when the Tigors
came in they were given the usual goose
egg, and the Fearnots carried off the
laurels, ending the greatest game ever
seen in that park.

liiograpliy of Fred. Kline.
Fred. Kline, whose remains were in
terred in the Freeland cemetery on Sat
urday P. M., was one of the oldebt resi
dents of this vicinity. He was born in
Rothes Kirehe, Bavaria, Germnny, Jrly
26, 1828, and his early years were spent
in that immediate vicinity. In 1849. at
the age of 21 years, lie came to America.
Being entirely unaccustomed to the
habits of the American people, and be
ing unable to speak the English lan
guage, he began his new life as a
laborer in the great metropolis, New
York.
During tlie next twelve yean lie labor
ed in various places, among which were
Boston, Mass.; Summit Hill, Tamaqua,
Cranberry, Hazleton and Stockton. In
1861 he came to Jeddo and entered tlie
employ of G. B. Mai kle&C'o. He work
ed here for seven years at different kinds
of labor, during this time the town of
Drifton had sprung into existence, and
in 1868, believing that the condition of
himself and family would be improved
by removal to this new "El Dorado," lie
removed there. He remained in Drif
ton until April 1576, during which inter
vat his health had so far failed liim that
he cou d no longer perfoi m manual
labor.
Sometime before his removal from
Drifton he started a small dairy, and
was the first man to inn a milk wagon
on the north side of Hazleton. He re
moved his business to South Hcberton
from Drifton in 1870, where he has since
resided and successfully prosecuted the
same business until a week before his
death. By his strict honesty, close ap
plication to business and the natural
tact which he was so fortunate as to bo
possessed of and could so successfully
apply, he became possessed of a consid
erable estate and had acquired that
which is even more desirable, "the
good will of his fellow men."
At the time of Irs death he was aged
04 years and 1 day, not full of years, but
honored, beloved and respected by all
who knew him. He leaves a sorrowing
wife and four sons to mourn his loss.
His sons are all men of prominence in
this and other secdons. Frederick P. is
one of Mahanoy City's forcon st cit'zens,
having until recently been extensively
engaged in business there and hav'ng
held several positions of trust and honor.
Wm. D. is now, and has been for 18
years, employed in the general oflicc of
Coxe llroi. & Co. at Drifton, and is also
extensively engaged in other enter
prises. Samuel H. IB a pmminent resi
dent of Ceresco, Michigan, where he is
engaged in managing an extensive strck
farm for Kline & Kline, which fl:.n con
sists of himself and brother Wm. I).
The youngest son, Daniel, is a justice
of the neace in this place, and is also the
general manager of the extensive busi
ness of Kline Bros., of this olaco, which
firm consists of Irmself ane b's brother
William D.
The funeral was large, the remains
being followed to their last resting place
by a concourse of sorrowing relatives
and friends, who all felt that they had
lost a loving and indulgent husband and
father and a most desirable friend,
while the community lost an honored
and respected citizen. j X.
DRIFTON WRITTEN UP.
NEWS AND PERSONALS FROM OUR
NEIGHBORING TOWN.
Something About the Four Days a Week
Way of Working—Our Correspondent
Say. Many of the Minors Like It—
Ueubt of This Being a Cash Stare.
The chief topic of discussion here is:
"When will the four days a week end?"
Some men who have worked here for
years are well satisfied with four days a
week, and think even less time would
have no worse effect. As a reason for
this they say working for money is a
thing of the past in Drifton, and any
work that is to be done at present must
be for promotion or for a mere exist
ence. As a rule promotions are few and
far between, and they are also uncertain
as to the length of time they will last
when received, but those of us who are
living on suspicion are numerous, al
though the fault is not ours. One of
the many things which help to make us
miserable is the numerous delivery
wagons run by the company store. It is
generally believed by many that tlie
store is run on tlie cash plan, hut we
hardly think it is. It seems to the cus
tomers to be just like all other company
stores —the pass-book is handy and
prices are high.
Tom G'onnell, one of our young men
who wns suspended at the shops last
week, left on Friday for Scranton.
Since last week, when two of our
fishermen made a fine catcli of [like at
tlie Honeyhole, fishing tackle lias been
in great demand. On Friday a party
from No. 2 went to the Lehigh river
angling, but the stories were much larger
than the fish.
James F. Sweeney is spending his va
cation with his numerous friends on tlie
South Side.
Robert Wilson, of Jersey City, has
been here visiting liis brother William.
Louis Summacher arrived home from
Homestead on the late train on Friday
evening.
The Polish cornet hand, of Freeland,
serenaded Mrs. Shoemaker at No. 2 on
Wednesday evening, the occasion being
a birthday anniversary.
Saturday was a yery quiet day at the
different mines here. Work of every
kind was laid over and everybody sus
pended.
The engineers and firemen on the I).
S. & S. are hard at work preparing for
their examination, which will take place
about the 19th inst.
Wm. Philips, of Mahanoy City, is
visiting at tlie residence of Harry Jones.
John J. Brogan, of Beaver Meadow,
spent a fow hours here with his mother
yesterday.
Mike Yutski, a company man at No.
[ 2, while attempting to hoard a mine car
on Thursday, slipped and had a foot run
over.
Philip Brier, while on his way from
Scotch llill to Freeland one evening last
week, stepped on a small stone when
near the railroad crossing and badly
sprained his ankle. He had to ho car
ried home.
The Scranton Mining School is adding
quite a number of scholars to its 101 l
from this place. The instructions are
by mail and the whole course may be
had for $35. This is an opportunity that
some of our ambitious young monsuould
take advantage of.
The company here has expended
many a dollar in trying to supply the
town with water which we use for do
mestic purposes, and now they should
spend a little more. The hydrants
throughout the town are n6t a safe place
to go for water after dark, as water ver
min of almost every kind is coming
through the pipes and the water tastes
stale. A little attention on this subject
would be welcomed by the residents.
We have heard so much about tlie
Freeland electric light plant Die past
few months that we were badly disap
pointed when we heard that the end
dropped out of it. I would like to make
a suggestion to those parties who want
light and don't know where or how to
get it. In Drifton gas is made in first
class style, and if an addition was put to
the plant that is here, there should lie
but little trouble to extend it to Freeland.
A petition sent to Mr. Coxe would bring
forth a decided answer. Rend him one.
