ANOTHER STRIKE IS ON.
A. S. VAN WICKLE & CO.'S EMPLOYES
STOP WORK SUDDENLY.
Foreigners Arc Kverywhere Turning Upon
the Corporations Which Drought Tliem
Here—The Outcome Will He Interesting
to the English-Speaking Miners.
That portion of the population of the
coal lields which is usually designated
us the "foreign element" gave another
demonstration of its power last week by
closing every colliery and stripping
operated by A. S. VanWicklo & Co.
On Wednesday of last week an incip
ient strike was inaugurated by employes
of the Coieraine stripping. The success
of the employes of the Lehigh and
Wilkesbarro Company had imbued
the Coieraine workers with a desire to
have their wrongs righted, and they
struck. A compromise was effected by
promising the disaffected employes an
early investigation of their grievances,
and on Thursday work was resumed.
The rank and file of the workmen
wore, not satisfied with this. They de
manded immediate redress of the wrongs
alleged to have been inflicted upon thorn.
Meetings were held by the Italians and
Hungarians on Thursday night. The
decision unanimously arrived at was to
strike. Those who failed to attend the
gathering were awakened from their
beds and warned
NOT TO GO TO WOItK
on the morrow.
The threatened tie-lip on Friday
morning took place precisely as agreed
the night before, beginning at No. 2
colliery, Heaver Meadow, the strikers
marched to the stripping operated by
the company. All work ceased upon
their arrival. Those who were inclined
to continue at their positions were
quickly told to get in lino and were
rudely hustled along with the mob.
Evans' colliery, which is now part of the
VauVVicklo operations, was ordered to
suspend, and all employes promptly
obeyed. There are no labor organiza
tions at the bottom of the strike, still
the orders were respected with military
precision.
Over 800 men and boys had now been
taken from their work. Everything
was closed down as completely as though
the operators had discharged every em- !
plove. Only the firemen and pumpmen
wore allowed to remain at their posts,
oven the engineers, blacksmiths, car
penters and mechanics being
ORDERED HOME HV TIIE MKIf
who so suddenly resolved to stand up
for that which they consider is right.
Elated with success, the word passed
along that Milnesvillo, another of Van
Wicklo's towns, would bo visited.
Forming in line, 400 men began tlie six
mile march. They passed through Ilaz
loton in an orderly manner, hut there
was a look of determination on every man
which plainly showed the earnestness of
their doings. Many carried dubs,
pieces of iron and such impromptu
weapons, and the general appearance of
the regiment was not that of a holiday
crowd.
When the strikers reached Milnesvillo
they drove the men employed there from
the strippings and breakers, shutting
down the mines completely. The ex
citement was intense, but the object of
the march was accomplished without dif
ficulty. The bosses and coal and iron
police had gathered at different points
and tried to talk to the marchers, but
they wore passed by unnoticed by the
men in lino. The
UPRISING WAS A SURPRISE
to the coal companies throughout the !
region. For some years past they have
boen congratulating one another upon
the impossibility of a labor disturbance
in the Lehigh region, foolishly imagin
ing that the "foreign element" would
submit to every injustice that their
bosses could devise.
The recent strike at Audonried and
Honey Hrook gavo the corporations an
inkling of the sort of warfare future
strikes will consist of, and they now
know that they must deal hereafter
with tlio hot-headed loaders of the
foreign races, and not, as in former years,
with reasoning men. The latter have
in some parts been driven out altogether,
and where they still remain they are
IN A HOPELESS MINORITY
and their voice in labor affairs is drown
ed by the languages of southern Europe.
Thus the supplanting of the English
speaking miner by the cheap labor
peoplo is already reacting against the
men who brought them hero—and appa
rently the troubles of the coal barons
have just begun.
So far as can bo learned the gijov
ances of the strikers are many and
varied. VanWicklo & Co. gave their
employes a severe cut in wages on tlie
first of the year. This reduction the
men want restored. They want no dis
crimination in pay made between
English-speaking miners and themselves
when working at the same jobs. The
compulsory dealing in company stores is
also objected to, and the company
butcher and company doctor are dis
tasteful to the men.
About 1.200 employes are out. Every
thing is quiet today around the col
lieries and no trouble Is expected/
FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, AUGUST .30, 1897.
Firebugs Laid Their Plans Well.
What seems to have been a deliberate
attempt to annihilate the whole town of
Stiirmcrville, in the upper end of this
county, by lire, was made early Friday
morning. That ifr did not succeed was
due to no oversight on the part of the
firebugs, who not only started the fire,
hut likewise did their best to cripple the
fire department. Fortunately they were
foiled, and the damage done will not ex
ceed SIO,OOO. At about 2 o'clock fire
was discovered in a building occupied
as a restaurant by Anthony Burlock.
An alarm was quickly sent in, and met
with a prompt response on the part of
the fire department.
The members of the local hose com
pany responded, but wore amazed to
find that 750 feet of their 1,000 feet of
new hose pipe was worthless, it being
cut through at almost every foot.. The
now rubber nozzle was slashed from end
to end and the huso carriage was locked
in the. hose house in such a manner that
it could not be gotten out without con
siderable trouble and hard labor.
The fire company realized at once
that their efforts would be of no avail to
quench the flames and couriers were dis
patched to West l'ittston and Wyoming
for help. The hoso companies of these
two towns responded promptly, attached
their hoso to the hydrants and turned
on the water.
Dismay again struck the firemen,
when it was found that the water would
not come. Upon investigation it was
found that every fire plug that could be j
used was stuffed with old bags, etc.
These obstacles were taken out as i
quickly as possible and the water tamed
on the buildings, which wore by this
time a seething mass of llamos and
beyond control.
Seeing that nothing could bo done to
save the properties on fire, tlie firemen
turned their attention to the adjoining
buildings and succeeded in saving them
from tiie fiery fiend. Two of the ruined
buildings were owned by Edward
Mack in. In these, besides the restau
rant run by Anthony Burlock, was
another run by Charles Cuslck. The
other building was a double block owned
by Charles Moses and occupied by him
on one side as a restaurant. On the
other side liquor was also dispensed.
Bullock's loss will amount to $1,000; he
lias no insurance. Little or nothing was
saved from any of the buildings, and the
total damage done will amount to $lO,-
000. Tlie buildings were insured and
two of the occupants had insurance on
their household goods.
Now Naturalization Methods.
The work of filling out papers for and
the hearing of applicants for naturaliz
ation papers, according to the present
method in vogue in Luzerne county, lias
given no end of trouble to the court
and the officials whose duty it. is to fill
out the necessary forms whether the ap
plicant is refused or granted papers. In
fact ; so many are the defects of the
present system and such a source of
annoyance lias it proved to all concern
ed, that Judges Bennett and Lynch and
Prothonotary Llewellyn, in a recent con
sultation, decided that the only tiling to
do is to effect a radical change in the
method which lias been so long in use.
Accordingly Judge Bennett set himself
to work drawing up a now form which
applicants for naturalzation papers will
have to fill out and present to court.
The old method will he abolished the
first week in September and tlie new
one will take its place. All tlie defects
and annoyances of the old way will be
done away with.
.Naturalization court will be held the
week beginning September 28. The
new application blank will bo used at
tills term, but afterward overy applicant
will have to bo represented by an at
torney and have liis application papers
ori tile thirty days before they can bo
heard. Naturalization court will be
held only live times a year on days set
apart for that purpose. §

llied Suddenly on Saturday.
John Ureiinan died suddenly on Satur
day afternoon at his residence on Ridge
street. lie had been unwell for a few
days previous, but his condition was nut
thought serious, and death was not look
ed for until a few minutes before the
end. Some months ago he suffered from
a severe attack, which somewhat weak
ened his constitution, but ho had ap
parently recovered from that illness.
The deceased camo to America from
Ireland over thirty years ago. lie set
tled at Iluck Mountain, afterwards lived
in Drlfton and camo herewith his family
about fifteen years ago. Besides his
wife the following sons and daughters
survive him: John, of Drifton; James,
Francis, Andrew, Peter, Annie and Mrs.
Daniel Gallagher. Freeland, and Mrs.
Mark Campbell, Hazleton. Funeral an
nouncement in another column.
Opposing the Party Nominee.
The Philadelphia Press, the greatest
Republican newspaper in the stato, has
opened lire on the state treasury and is
dally exposing the corruption that exists
in this department. The Pres., ~01110
years ago threatened to lift the lid off tho
treasury, but was prevailed upon to hush
the matter. This year, however, tho can
didate for treasurer Is a man whom Quay
can rely upon to hide the crookedness of
this office, and as the Press Is tho loader
of the anti-Quay faction It will not re
main ipiiot. There is a strong senti
ment in the state against retaining a
Quay man as treasurer, and if tho
Democrats nominate a reliable man
many Republicans will openly oppose
Beacon. The Philadelphia Ledger has
bolted tho Republican candidate, and
the I'reKt' independence has badly scared
the Quayites.
Two Orders to I'nlte.
An important conference was held In
Reading last week between the national
and executive committees of the Patri
otic Order of True Americans and the
Daughters of America. It was agreed
to consolidate the two orders, which will
hereafter be known as the "United Sons
and Daughters of America." It was de
cided to call a national convention, to
ho hold In Puttstown, 011 the fourth
Tuesday of Octubor next, when officers
of the new organization will be elected.
A committee was also appointed to pre
pare a new ritual, of which Miss Carrie
Smith, of Mauch Chunk, is chairman.
Gibson Won on a Foul.
Sporting men from all parts of the

day night to witness the twenty-ffve

son, of Palo Alto. Crampsie appeared to
have tho light, well in hand and looked
like a winner, but he lost his head. He
continually fouled his opponent, and in
tho iiftli round jumped on Gibson after
throwing him in a clinch. Gibson was
then awarded the light.
