FREELAND TRIBUNE. VOL. V. No. 24. AN EMPEROR'S POWER. RAILROAD MEN MUST SUBMIT TO M'LEOD'S IRON RULES. Lehigh Valley and Jersey Central Km ployes Are Under the President's Ban A Strike Would Give Him a Chance to Crush Their Unions— Hard on New Men. With a cunning that is rarely equaled, even in soulless corporations, the Read ing management is working night and day to give its Lehigh Valley employes cause to strike, and, trusting to its usual good luck in defeating strikers, it hopes thereby to rid its entire system of orga nized labor. The Lehigh Valley men are connected with the various railroad brotherhoods, and McLeod and his allies regard with envious eyes the monthly dues they pay into these. The Reading Relief Association was instituted as a substitute for labor unions, and because the railroaders of the entire system do not take to it kindly McLeod intends to follow the plan which worked so success ful on the old line in 1889. Engineers are quietly dismissed here and there, brakemen and conductors suspended without cause, and even switchmen are being placed under all sorts of petty restrictions likely to irri tate them. Every little device or scheme that will keep the railroaders annoyed is 1 eing used unstintingly, until at last the men are forced to send committees with grievances to headquarters. The engi neers are the first to take up the ques , tion, and on Friday a delegation went to Philadelphia and called upon the Em perer of the Coal Regions. The confer ence lasted an hour and a half, and from all accounts the committee received but little satisfaction. McLeod told them pretty plainly that he was running the railroads of this part of the United States, and intimated that those who didn't like his orders could leave. The men wished to have an amicable under standing with the management, and the Reading president condescended to allow them to call again to-day. The principal reason of the committee going to Philadelphia was because they objected to the rule compelling men to turn over their souls and bodies to the combine by signing a paper containing the following: Name of applicant? Age? Address? Married or single? Where last employed, how long, and in what capacity? Reason for leaving place of last em ployment? Length of time in railroad service, on what road and in what capacity? Do you use intoxicating liquors? £ Full address or reference, Can you read and write? Are you a member of a labor organiza tion, and if so, which one? If a member, will you withdraw and refuse to support or belong to any labor organization if you take service with the company? Are you willing to become a member of the Philadelphia and Reading Relief Association? After the conference President Mc- Leod had this to say about it: "The men have no grievance what-1 ever, ami are perfectly satisfied with the | treatment they have received all over j the system. They want us to change our rule in reference to the employment i of new men. We do not employ new men unless they join the Reading"Relief Association. It is the best in the country, one to which the Reading Com pany contributes $75,000 a year. While it is young, it will be of more benefitthan any other similar insurance company. The other objection is that we modify * our rules in reference to labor organiza f tions. "We do not employ any new men unless they are not and will not become members of any labor organizations. We have no organized labor on the Reading lines proper. On the lines we have leased we are only carrying out our rule in reference to the employment of new men. These men are requested to sign papers stating that they are not members of any labor organization. ••They are also required to join the Read . ing Relief Association. In reference to the men on the lines recently leased who are members of any labor organization nothing will be done so long as they are faithful in the discharge of their duties. The rules only apply to the appoint ment of new men." The railroaders, however, are not dis posed to take McLeod's word for it that "nothing will be done so long as they rem tin faithful in the discharge of their duties." McLeod's word on such mat ters cannot be relied upon since he told the consumers of anthracite there would be no advance in prices, yet the people of Philadelphia are paying nearly a dollar a Urn more for coal. This is one ' of the things McLeod's considers "noth ing," and tlie Lehigh Valley men do not intend to be caught in a trap by giving him a free hand in their affairs. While there is not much danger of a strike or tie-up on the road, still the matter is . coining to a head rapidly, and something of tHe kind may take place. This would he McLeod's programme exactly, and after giving Pennsylvania's toy soldiers another opportunity to display their wonderful bravery, he could fill the Le high Valley and Central with thousands of unprincipaled and unorganized men, and that would be the end of labor unions on the Reading system. They are Quarantined. E. B. Leisenring ami wife, of Mauch Cnunk, returning from their wedding tour through JOtirope, are among the many distinguished passengers on board the steamer Normania, which was quar antined in the New York harbor on September 3. It is said Mr. Leisenring offered SSOOO for the use of a boat on which he and his wife could remain by themselves while they are quarantined, if is offer was made in vain, however, as g the law does not allow any discrimina -3 tion between the rich and the poor in such cases. TAXES COME DOWN. The Kick Made liy the Property Owners BringH Back the Old Figurew. The committee appointed at the meet ing of the property owners 011 Tuesday evening last, to go to Wilkes-Barre and see the commissioners in regard to the excessive valuation put upon the lots in the borough, returned on Friday even ing, and as a result of their mission they convened the council and school board together in the school building that evening. The committee stated they had met the commissioners, together with their chief clerk and attorney, and had talked the matter over. An understanding was arrived at by which the rate per foot will be placed as assessed by ox-Assessor Washburn, provided the school board and council would agree to the same. The following resolution was agreed to and signed Try the members of the council and school board and then sent to the commissioners: At a meeting of the school board and town council of the borough of Free land, held in the school building, Friday evening, September 9, it was resolved that the county commissioners be res pectfully requested to reduce the valua tion of tiie lots assessed to the several taxables of the borough 100 percent., making their valuation the same as originally returned by the assessor. The resolution was forwarded to the commissioners, who will instruct the tax collector how lie is to act. Good Templar*' Social. On Friday evening the members of Good Will Lodge, No. 130, I. O. G. T., of Freeland, held a social in Donop's hall. The hall was comfortably filled and the manner in which all enjoyed themselves has not been excelled on any previous occasion. Invitations were extended to the members of Peerless Lodge No. 1283, of Upper Lehigh, and quite a number responded and had a very pleasant evening. Singing and amusements of almost every kind was the order of the evening, and, at inter vals, refreshments consisting of cake and lemonade, were served in abun dance. The games in which all indulg ed were kept up until nearly midnight, when the merry gathering left for their homes well pleased with the evening's enjoyment. Important Notice. On and after Monday, September 12, 1892, it will not be safe to allow horses, cows, pigs, goats, dogs or other animals to run at largo through the streets, alleys or vacant lots in the borough of Freeland, as the board of health will begin to disinfect all the cess pools, manure heaps, compost, garbage, and all other places as may be necessary. The disinfectants used are dangerous. The board would again urge upon the people the necessity of "cleaning up." By order of the Freeland board of health. FRANK SCHILCHER, At. D. Brest. A. S.

"One of the Finest," which will be at the opera house on Friday evening, played from Monday afternoon until Saturday night of last week at Music Hull, Scranton, and the papers of that city were very liberal in their praise. The Tribune said; "The production, so far as scenery and effects are concerned, was one of the best ever seen in this city. The view of sunset in Central park, and the great pier scene on the North river are marvels of stage realism. To represent the river an immense tank, covering a great portion of the stage; tilled with water to a depth of three feet, is ÜBed and in this boats are moving about, men and boys swimming in it, while on the dock is a crowd singing and dancing and having fun generally. It is a great scene and the audience ap plauded it to The echo. The piece is well cast and tiie specialties are good." FREELAND, LUZERNE COUNTY, PA., SEPTEMBER 12, 1892. ABOUT THE NEW SYSTEM EX-JUDGE KNAPP EXPLAINS PART OF THE BAKER BALLOT LAW. In an Ad(lreH llol'ore a Scrunton Repub lican Club lie AIIVIHOH Citizens to Study the New Method Thoroughly in Order to Vote Properly. At a meeting of the Central Republi can club of Scranton a few evenings ago the members were entertained by ex- Judge Knapp, who delivered an interest ing address upon the workings of the Baker ballot law. He said that he had become pretty well acquainted with the measure while acting as counsel for the county commissioners. Of one thing he was positive and that was that the new law made necessary a great amount of arduous labor for the county commis sioners. It is a lengthy law, a compli cated law, and it introduces a great many novel features in voting. "I shall speak upon but four points of this measure to-uight," continued the speaker, "and they are, first, the ar rangement of the voting rooms; second, the form of ballot; third, the duties of the election ofiicers; and fourth, the duties of the voters themselves." Let us, for instance, lie saiil, imagine that we are voting under the Baker law. We enter a room divided into two parts by a guard rail, and having a gate at each end of the rail, at one of which the voter steps in and at the other steps out. As we come up to the guard rail we meet an election ollicer who ascertains if your name is on the registry list. If it is he permits us to enter, and we meet with another election ollicer, who tears off an official ballot from a book of them, just as you tear off a bank check, and folds it up for us. We take this ballot and go into one of the booths, of which there are at least three in every election precinct. Oppo site the name of each candidate on the official ballot we see a blank space. The law provides that if we want to vote the Btraight ticket, all we have to do is to put a cross opposite the name which re presents our partisan belief at the top of the page. However, if we want to vote for one man or more of the other party, we will have to set a cross opposite the name of every man we vote for. There are several things we must guard against in this matter of marking the names of the men for whom we in tend to vote. If we intend to vote a straight ticket with one exception and mark the top name of one party list; and then half way down the list of the other partv if we mark a name, we invalidate our ballot. If we mark out one of the printed names with a lead pencil, as I understand it,we also invalidate our bal lot, as we only vote for the men whose names we indicate with a cross. There are as many specimen ballots issued as there are official ones. The I specimen ballots are for free distribution among voters for the purpose of instruc tion. There is a clause for the number ing of each ballot, but it is also provided that the corner which contains the num ber is turned over and pasted down, so that it may be ascertained in case of a ] contest, but not detected by the election I officers while the vote is being counted. I I do not think that this makes the vote ] absolutely secret as you may hold the ballot up to the light and catch the num ber through the two thicknesses of paper. These ballots must be sent through two different channels at different times to the judge of each election district. On the morning of election the first thing the election officers have to do is open one set of these ballots. Then they must post up cards of instructions and specimen ballots. The new law ■ makes no change with regard to voters whoso names are on the registry list. Not over fourteen waiting men may be allowed witihin the voting room at one time. Not over four may wait with in the guard rail and not over ten may wait on the outer side of it. I f there are voters in waiting, a man is only al lowed three minutes in which to fix up his ballot. If there are no voters in waiting his time is not limited. In case a ballot is spoiled we take it back to the man we got it from, and we get another. The spoiled ballot is not destroyed but is cancelled and sent back to the proper authorities with the other papers. When the election officers come to count the ballots, they first ascertain how many men have voted, and then see if that number corresponds with the number of votes in the box. If a man is unable to prepare his ballot, he may select a qualified voter of the district to assist him. Judge Knappsaid ho would give fur ther explanations at some future time, and promised to do all he could to en lighten voters upon the new methods. He stated there was a great deal more ahout the system, and many of its feat ures are likely to he misunderstood unloHß they are thoroughly uiecimscd before election day. DEATHS.
