ORGANIZERS
ARE BUSY
Uniting of Miners Steadily
Going Forward.
Western Officials Exerting
Themselves to Increase
the Numerical Strength of
the Mine Workers Union.
Undaunted by their poor success in
and around Freeland in increasing the
membership of tho United Mine Workers
of America, tho organizers of tho order
are busy perfecting and strengthening
their union in tho Wyoming region.
Meetings have been held throughout the
region, and the results show a satis
factory increase in the formation of
'•locals'' and the addition of several
thousand members. The organizers are
Fred Dilcher, member of tho national
executive board; General Organizer
Benjamin James, District President
Nichols, Secretary Dempsey, and Organ
izers Smith and Collins.
All this is being done with tho joint
convention at Hazloton on August 13
in view. The union is making strenu
ous elTorts to complete its organization,
so that If the expected fight with the
operators and a consequent strike takes
place the tie-up will be complete. The
present organizing is taking place in
districts where the union was weak,
and the success, outside of this im
mediate vicinity, has been very grati
fying to the leaders.
THE LOWER REGION
Western Organizers Are IltillUlng Up the
Union in the Schuylkill DUlrict.
The long contemplated movement to
organize ail the miners of the lower an
thracite district, consisting of tho coun
ties of Northumberland, Schuylkill,
Columbia and Dauphin, was begun Sat
urday evening, following the arrival of
Western United Mine Workers' organ
izers. They are George Purcoll, of In
diana; Frederick Diocher, of Ohio, and
Edward Soppitt, of Pittsburg.
Tho three men came direct from In
dianapolis, whore they hud been in
council with President Mitchell. lie
directed them to first stop at Shamokin
and confer with Mr. Fahey, who is
president of that district.
President Mitchell will send thirty
experienced organizers into the anthra
cite Held between now and September
1, in order to double tho membership of
the United Mine Workers, which is
20,000, so that tho miners will be in line
to vote at the coming November elec
tion. The idea is for the union men to
support candidates irrespective of party
who will vote to better tho condition of
tho underground toiler.
Before election day all candidates will
be requested to sign an agreement to
stand by the workingmen.
WORKERS TO MEET.
Anthracite Miners Will Convene in Gen
eral Semtiou on August 13.
The representatives of the United
Mine Workers of the anthracite region
are preparing for their convention at
Hazloton on August 13. Both operators
and miners are manifesting much in
terest in the meeting. There is talk
that the deliberations of tho convention
will result in a great strike, but the
better informed do not believe tills.
The grievances of the miners will be
the principal subject of discussion.
Furthermore, it is declared that an
elTort will be made to settle tho strikes
in tho Lackawanna and Wyoming dis
tricts.
The operators may be requested to
meet tho mine workers in a joint con
ference. This meeting is not likely to
materialize, however, as tho operators
are expected to decline tho overture. A
similar request was made by the mine
workers some months ago and was ig
nored by tho operators of tho Lacka
wanna district. At that time the action
of the operators greatly incensed tho
members of the Mino Workers' Union

and a big strike was narrowly avoided
in the upper end.
Should the operators again bo re
quested to meet the miners' represent
atives and refuse, a strike may be decid
ed upon, says some of the miners. In
the meantime the organizers will be
kept busy perfecting the organization.

BOARD IS
DEADLOCKED
Foster School Directors Are
Unable to Agree.
Eleven Ballots on Solicitor
and Ten on a New Teach
er Taken Without a Deci
sive Result.
Foster township school board has two
deadlocks on its hands. One is on a
solicitor for the board, in which Attor
neys Brown and O'Donnell are the con
testants. The other is on a teacher to
liili the vacancy caused by the resigna
tion of James S. McDonald, in which
Harry Mane, of Ilazletou; Vincent
ilighatns, of Sandy Run, and C. E. Ed
munds, of Freeland, are the applicants.
All members of the board were pres
ent Saturday evening at the regular
meeting. The election of a solicitor
was taken up and Attorneys J. M. Carr,
U. J. O'Donnell and Geo. T. Brown
were placed in nomination. A motion
prevailed that after the third ballot the
lowest candidate bo droppod. The
members voted as follows on the first
and second ballots:
For Carr—Zeistloft, Doudt.
For O'Donnell—Keller, Mcllugh.
For Brown—Lesser, August.
On the third ballot Zeistloft changed
to O'Donnell, while the others voted as
on previous ballots. Carr was then
dropped and voting contiuued without
change till the eighth ballot, when
Doudt voted for Brown, ho having re
fused to vote after the third ballot.
Doudt again refused to vote on the
ninth and eleventh ballots, voting
Brown on the tenth, with Lesser and
Argust, while O'Donnell received the
votes of Kellar, Mcllugh and Zeistloft.
It was decided that inasmuch as they
could not agree the election should go
ovor for another meeting.
Principal Hoffman recommended that
schools open the first Tuesday in
September. lie also called attention to
the manner of some parties disfiguring
the Woodside building by defacing the
same with unsightly drawings and urged
the prosecution of the offenders. He
also submitted a form of report for
teachers, which was accepted, and
Directors Ziestloft, Kellar and Doudt
wore appointed to have the blank report
forms printed.
The repair comiuitteo reported all
school buildings in good condition.
The supply committee reported hav
ing ordered necessary supplies.
The president and secretary wore
authorized to furnish a recommendation
to Miss Pearl Mowery, a former teacher.
Each director was ordered to see that
a bushel of lime was placed in each
school outhouse in his district.
The resignation of James S. Mc-
Donald as a teacher was accepted.
A motion to allow the appointment of
a teacher to iill the vacancy go ovor for
another meeting failed to receive a ma
jority vote.
Applications wore then road from
Harry Maue, Vincent Highaius and C.
E. Edmunds.
Ten ballots were taken without a de
cisive result, the directors voting from
tho first to tho seventh ballots as fol
lows:
For Maue—Kellar, Lesser, Argust.
For Highams—Doudt.
For Edmunds—Zeistloft, Mcllugh.
On tho eighth ballot Lesser changed
to Highams, going back to Maue on the
ninth and tenth. On the ninth ballot
Argust voted Highams, going back to
Maue on the tenth.
The board will moot again 011 Satur
day evening.
In conversation with somo of the di
rectors, it is learned that the school
term will probably bo nine months. The
heavy Increase in the state appropria
tion to Fostor makes this possiblo. Tho I
Increase was obtainod by tho teachers '
making a list of all pupils and other
children in their districts between tho
ages of 0 and 10 years, thereby aiding
tho local assessors in furnishing correct
returns to tho county and state author
ities.
The repairs to buildings this summer
will not exceed S2OO, against $1,200 ex
pondud last year.
