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.

Given High Praise.
"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.
