AN EVIL AND A REMEDY.
SUGGESTIONS FOR THE SUPPRES
SION OF COMPANY STORES.
Coal Miners Should Ho Paid In Currency
for Their Labor and Not in Order*
(in.Ml Only at the "Pluck Me"—Mow
This Can Re Done.
From the Philadelphia Record.
While a committee of the legislature
Is pursuing Its investigation of the con
dition of affairs in the coal mining re
gions of Pennsylvania it is a significant
fact that none of the corporations inter
ested in the truck store system has
sought to make any defense or palli
ation of the abuse. Witnesses have
testified in crowds that this nefarious
system lies at the bottom of the miseries
of the coal miners, and in doing so they
have fully described the operation of
the system in defrauding honest labor of
a large share of its earnings. Hut much
the worse feature of the abuse is in its
demoralizing effect upon the miners in
encouraging a disregard of tho value of
money and in discouraging habits of
thrift and economy. Although the gold
standard is still maintained in this coun
try, it can hardly be said to exist so far
! as the mimers in Pennsylvania are con
' corned. Within the range of the truck
store system tho honest money standard
for the payment of wages lias been prac
tically abolished. The only currency
known to the; miners is in tho shape of
store orders for truck or in tho well
worn passbook.
To the charges concerning this abuse
the mining corporations engaged in it
have made no answer. Is this because
tho system is incapable of defense, or
because the corporations feel so secure
of the legislature that no defense is
necessary? In chartering corporations
with the privilege of despoiling labor of
its wages the general assembly of Penn
sylvania lias flagrantly disregarded the
primary obligation of the state to pro
tect the weak and innocent from the
strong and the guilty. Hut it. is urged
tiiat after all the futile experiments to
abate the ' pluck me store" iniquity fur
ther legislation would be useless. This
is a poor plea; and it is made only by
those who have no sincere desire to sup
press the abuse.
There are several means of grappling
with tills system which have not yet
been fully tried. Tho first is a statute
directing the courts of Pennsylvania to
treat all contracts to pay wages in store
truck as against public policy. A con
tract to pay a bet on an election or on a
horse race stands on a far higher moral
plane that a contract to receive wages
in store truck, for noworkiugman in his
senses would freely (Miter into such a
contract. The next remedy is in an
amendment to the general corporation
act of 1874 to prohibit all mining and
manufacturing companies from keeping
a store in connection with their opera
tions. This amendment, when rigor
ously enforced, would at least stop the
propagation of the greed of "pluck me
store" corporations.
The final retnedv is to impose a mer
cantile license of*s3*ooo on every store
carried on by a mining or manufacturing
company; and if this should not lie
enough to arrest the profitable iniquity,
let the license bo doubled. It will be
said that such a license would he in vio
lation of the constitutional provision re
quiring all taxation to be "uniform upon
the same class of subjects." A mercan
tile license upon a class of corporations
keeping store would bo uniform, the
same as is a high license fee upon liquor
saloons or the. taxation of insurance
companies. Hesides, tiie store-keeping
corporations operating mines or facto
ries would he put out of court by the
statute declaring this branch of their
business against public policy.
In its partiality toward a particular
interest tho general assembly of Penn
sylvania not merely taxed out of exis
tence but absolutely prohibited the
manufacture and salt; of a chemically
pure and wholesome article of food in
order to make bliLer dear to the miners
and other consumers. The courts have
held this legislation to be a perfectly
legitimate exercise of the police power
of the state. Would not legislation to
suppress tho "pluck mo store" abuse be
an equally legitimate exercise of such
police power, as well as a performance
of the duty of tho state to prohibit acts
that are contrary to public policy?
The senior senator of Pennsylvania
lias chivalrously made the memorable
declaration that, he prefers "to enter the
barricades with the men in blouses."
Let our "Little (iavroche" mount the
barricades with the blackened and he
grimed men in blouses who toll In the
coal mines, and help them to break
down the system by which they are
cheated and despoiled. Although the
extirpation of the company store alone
is not inscribed on the bed roll of reforms
to which the Republicans in the legisla
ture are pledged, it is worth any of the
rest. The emancipation of the coal
miners from a demoralizing servitude
is a task that deserves the beat efforts of
the statesman. i: w .

FREELAND, PA, THURSDAY, MAY 20, 1897.
Capitalists Dave Their Troubles.
Trout)].! is brewing among the local
corporations and unless a truco is de
clared within a short while a storm will
break fortli which will draw into it
nearly all the concerns of town which
do business under corporate franchises.
The sinking of a cess-pool by the Silk
Mill Company near the well of the Water
Company lias aroused the latter and a
vigorous fight is promised if any attempt
Is made to use the hole for the purposo
intended.
While to all appearances there are no
reasons why an agreement could not be
effected between these two corporations,
it is known that many of the prominent
people of the Water Company are stock
holders of the Freeland (las Company,
a concern which naturally is not regard
ed favorably by the Electric Light Com
pany, sovcral of whoso stocklu Idors arc
connected with the Silk Mill Company.
These connections have a tendency to
range tho water and gas people against
the electric and silk mill men, and al
ready a large amount of bitterness lias
been displayed. It is reported that the
latest Stroke of tho Silk Mill Company
In this miniature war was to withdraw
its money from the Citizens' bank and
name a llazleton institution as the de
pository for its funds. The Freeland
bank is controlled by men who arc
heavily Interested in tho Water Com
pany and tlie gas project.
What tho result of this -general dis
agreement will he if tho trouble that
exists is carrlod much further can only
he conjectured. Unless harmony is
soon introduced in some manner the
local corporations will he engaged in a
struggle which will hurt somebody's
hank account.
At iut.iry for tlnnies I' 111 lII' 14i.,
The case of James Finnegan against
Foster township, for damages for the
loss of liis wife's services resulting from
Injuries received by driving over an un
guarded bridge near Upper Lehigh some
years ago, ended yesterday by the jury
awarding the plaintiff 81,001 damages.
The negligence of the township officials
in not protecting the highways of tlie
township had been fully shown in the
damage case of Mrs. Finnegan, who two
years ago was awarded 81,800 for her
Injuries, The verdict was not so satis
factory to Mr. Finnegan as one might
think. He expected a higher award,
haying refused, after his wife's victory,
to compromise with the township for
81,000 damages for himself. As it is,
yesterday's verdict gives him hut little
more than ho could have obtained with
out tho trouble of the suit.
Tho taxpayers of Foster hope that
this is the end of the Finnegan cases.
They have been quite costly, one special
tax levy having been made two years
ago to cover the expenses and it is prob
.able that another will be necessary to
pay tho costs of the second suit.
Rnatrd of Trurie Meeting.
The iiuard of Trade met last night in
the council room. The auditors ap
pointed at the last meeting wore not
present and no report was received from
them. H. E. Sweeny, chairman of the
ball committee, stated that the silk mill
would bo at tho service of the hoard
after tlie machinery would be tested and
advised the continuance of tho commit
tee, which was agreed to.
The secretary presented a bill for r>
for postal cards. The hill was ordered
paid with tho understanding that no
more would bo purchased, as all mem
bers ought to know by this time when
tho meetings are to ho held, without
being notified every month.
Tlim'u is still 83,100 of silk mill money
out which should ho paid in as speedily
as possible, 'lliosc who are holding
hack until the bonds are issued need not
delay on that score, as tlie.y will appear
in a short time. Interest will he paid
from date of final payment. Tho re
ceipts of the meeting amounted to 81.
I'iiintcr HUH a Narrow Escape.
Otto y.immer, a painter working on
the Wyoming Valley hotel, Wllkesliarro,
had a narrow escape from death on
Tuesday afternoon. While painting the
observatory, tho topmost portion of the
hotel, a box somehow worked from
under a ladder and Zlmmer fell, lie
had fallen about ten feet, when lie
grasped a swinging scaffold rope which
hung from the observatory rail. This

tho top of tlie window. Tho skin was
torn from Ids hands by the friction when
ho grasped the rope in falling.

DRIFTON ITEMS.
Tho Now York Journal of Tuesday
had the following: "When Caleb Beach,
the lock tender at the canal guard lock
in Dover, N. J., tried to open the flood
gate Monday morning he found tho body
of Charles 11. Mohr in the water. Mohr
was about forty-live years of age, and
had worked at the Morris County Ma
chine and Iron Company's works for the
past two years. Coroner C. B. Gage at
lirst decided that no inquest was neces
sary, and the body was removed to the
morgue, but something lias been learned
since which makes the case look like
murder, and an autopsy lias been order
ed." It is said that the dead man was a
brother of Fred Mohr, who was employ
ed hero up to a few years ago.
Tho ball that is to be given on the
28 th of this month at Freeland by the
Fearnots Athletic Association, that ag
gregation of young men who have been
so successful in defending the baseball
reputation of this town, will in many
respects be the equal of any ball that
has been held there for a long time. As
the young men do not charge admission
to their ball games, and consequently
have no means of getting money to
purchase balls, bats and other necessary
articles, the ball should be attended by
every lover of the national game in the
surrounding towns. Do not forget the
date, May 28.
The ground under the company store
settled several inches yesterday. No
serious injury was done to the building,
and tho mine ol'licials say there is no
danger of it going down.

In ttin Interest of Naturalization.
From ttie Wilkcsburrc Newsdealer.
Tho members of tlie P. O. S. of A.
throughout Ltizorne county have taken
It upon themselves to light the wholesale
naturalization of foreigners, which lias
predominated so extensively in this
county during tlie past seven years. A
movement is now on foot to hold a con
vention in this city at an early date at
which every society in tho county will
he represented. Tho members of the
P. C). S. of A., as far as can be learned,
have taken up tho question and have
given it careful consideration. No one
wiio is entitled to papers will he pre
vented from securing them, but the
fight will be against the foreign element,
many of whom liavo secured tlie desired
papers through perjury. What tho out
come of this agitation will bo remains
to be scon. There are many able per
sons connected with this order, and it is
believed tlie agitation will be of benefit.
Schuylkill TuxpnyerM Win.
The court granted the Schuylkill Tax
payers Association an injunction re
straining tho county commissioners and
controller front rebuilding the wall in
front of the prison and laying now steps
at tlie approach thereto. The complaint
sets forth that the commissioners and
controller awarded the contract to
furpish the stone and to complete the
work to tho Hnmmelstown Brownstone
Company for 81,500; that the specifica
tions call for alterations and for addi
tional work and material which will run
up the cost, by extras and incidentals,
to probably 83,500 or over.
This, it is alleged, is excessive. It is
alleged fraud was used in awarding the
contract. The county's hondoJ ini'ebtcd
ness is 8000,000 and tho floating indebt
edness 8158,100, exclusive of outstand
ing orders.
Another Licen*e Muddle.
Mayor Nichols, of Wilkes! aire, in a
letter to City Attorney McLean, claims
that the city lias 110 right to compel sa
loonkeepers to pay $">()() a year for a
license, and that under tlie special char
tor they 111 ust pay only S3OO. Tlie mayor
holds tlie license law says cities of the
first and second classes should have
SI,OOO license fees; cities of the third
class S3OO, and in all other cities S3OO.
Tho county treasurer and others who
have looked up tlie law in the matter
believe the mayor to bo right. The
mayor quotes a lot of law and opinions
to uphold li is contention, lie is vigor
ously conducting tlie fight for making
Wilkesbarro a city of the third class.
