The State Editorial Association will

of Mechanlcsburg, Pa., stating that
the visitors would number about 50(),
including the editors and ladies.
The detailed program is now being
prepared. It will include a reception,
a trip to Harvey's lake, a trip to Rear
creek, a trip to Wyoming monument
and trips to other places. The Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company and the Wyoru
ing Traction Company havo olTorod free
transportation to whatever places desir
ed and there will be no cost iu this direc
ction. Then, aside of these trips, there
will be lunches, visits to various indus
tries, otc.
FlHlmruien Unlng Dynamite.
From the White Haven Journal.
The Journal has received informa
tion from reliable sources that some
unknown persons have been in the habit
of dynamiting the deep holes in the
Lehigh river a few miles above town,
also near the mouth of Hayes creek.
Two of the persons are believed to live
near hero and the others belong, we
understand, near Freeland.
A strict watch is now being kept and
if the parties are caught they will be
dealt with the full extent of the law.
As the law covering this offense is very
severe, these people may wisli if caught,
that th(fy never had used such despicable
methods to obtain their fish. On Mon
day, alone, we wore able to'count nearly
200 dead fish of difTorent varieties Heat
ing in the Upper pool.

A committee made up of one repre

the Lehigh Valley Railroad visited
Superintendent Wilbur at Bethlehem
last week and presented a petition pray
ing for an equalization of wages among
brakemen. The men on the Wyoming

divisions are paid a much higher rate.
Employes of the I). S. Si 8. Railroad
report a steady deterioration of the
rolling stock and increased hardships
for the trainmen. The aim of the man
agement is to present extraordinary
profits to the stockholders each year,
regardless of the effect upon the iron
and muscle controlled. The road was
at one time considered the best in this
part of the state to work for, now it
has sunk to tho lowest.
Markle Si Co.'s employes at Highland.
Jeddo, Oakdale, Ebervale and Ilarleigh
will receive their May pay next Satur
day—almost eight weeks after some of
it was earned. It is unjust to keep
workers out of their wages so long, and
if a progressive firm like the Markle's
cannot or will not obey the semi-month
ly pay law they should show a little
charity by paying on or about tho 15th
of each month.
The Lehigh Coal and Navigation Com
pany has awarded contracts to erect two

Retrenchment is tho order of the day
on tho Lohigh Valley. An order has
been issued to all superintendents and
master mechanics Instructing them to
curtail expenses in every department
and further instructing them to cease
all now work. The order is general
and affects all divisions alike. What
tho object is no one suems to be able to
explain.
It has been announced frotu a reliable
source that ail the general stores con
nected with the mines of tho Temple
Iron Company, formerly Simpson Si
Watkins, will close on July 1, and after
that date the employes of the company
may buy their goods where they pleaso.
The company has stores at Wyoming
and Duryea in this county.
There is practically no change in
hard coal, and operators are waiting for
the period of buying to set in. Prices
are well maintained, and, according to
tho Coal Trade Journal , there is the sug
gestion that values may be advanced in
some directions. After July 4 there Is
usually an active season until the clos
ing of the year.
It Is reported that the Pennsylvania
Railroad is behind tho new Scranton
and Northeastern road, which intends
to operate a double-track rapid transit
road between Scranton and Wilkesbarre,
