Hugh Malloy, Prop. C ""' ci Silt,
Wonder If He
Saw This?
He was iminurod in the darkest dungeon
•beneath the castle moat
"If I had a saw, a tile, anything-—" he
moaned, as he looked at the solid bars across
the solitary window.
Then a thought struck him. His face
brightened, like a Cripple Creek conflagration.
Itupidiy running over his supply of collars,
whicu had just coino from the laundry, he
selected one titled to his purpose.
Five minutes later the great middle bar of
tin- window, d-xterously severed by the saw
like edge of the laundered collar, fell apart.
He Was Free.
If he hud had ids collars laundered at the
Frceland Steam Laundry he would be in jail
yet. Wo have a device for Ironing the top
edge of collars and cuffs and return them to
you with a perfectly smooth edge. Try us.

STRIKE ORDER
POSTPONED
Miners Are Working Today
Same as Usual.
National Executive Board of
United Mine Workers Ex
pects an Amicable Settle
ment of the Difficulty.
The expected orders froin Indianapulis
to the anthracite miners to strlko wore
patiently waitod for throughout Penn
sylvania all day Saturday, and when
the time limit given to thooporators ex
pired at (i p. m. the suspense was great
throughout the entire region.
However, tho national executive
beard, for reasons best known to Its
members, delayed the message which
would have caused over 100,000 men
and boys to cease work, and, Instead,
they issued orders to all members of the
LTnltod Mine Workers to continue work
.as usual, but to hold themselves In
readiness to respond should further ef
forts to effect a settlement prove futile.
lly the business pcoplo, and those who
boliovod that all olTorts to induce the
operators to confer with the miners
havo not yet been exhausted, tho mes
sage revived hopes that the great strike
may yot be averted.
Tho grounds upon which tho officials
of tho union base tliolr prospects of an
amicable settlement aro not ready to be
given to the public.
It Is rumored, however, that an ad
justment of the grievances Is hoped for
through the intercession of neutral
parties, and then, should a settlement
still be impossible, the orders to strike
will bo sent out by those who hold that
power.
With the exception of certain sections
of tho Lehigh region the United Mine
Workers havo gathered within tliolr fold
a majority of tho mine workers, Ameri
can and foreign, and tho organization
today Is numerically stronger than any
labor organization was evor before In
the anthracite district. Loaders aro
also coming to tho front who have the
confidence of their fellow-workers.
Hot Times at Drifton.
A labor mooting was hold at Drifton
on Saturday evening, but not until con
siderable opposition had boon overcome.
The meeting was held in No. 2 school
house, and when called to order it was
found that the building contained no
light. A messenger was dispatched to a
neighboring house to borrow a lamp.
Unfortunately, he strayed into a building
where several Hungarians wore holding
a jollification. They took him for an
intruder, and hustled him out in short
order.
After the light question had been
satisfactorily adjusted, tho meeting pro
ceeded without special incident until
tho time came to organize. Those not
wishing to become members of the
United Mine Workers departed peace
ably, witli one exception, a well-known
general overseer for the company, who
refused to leave and expressed his
determination to see the meeting to the
end.
At the same time several small boys,
prompted by a few of the alms-receivers
of the town, began a fusiiadc of stones
against the building with the intention
of disturbing the parties Inside.
Tho refusal of the company's agent
to retire was gradually working the
prospective union miners up to a high
degree, and in a few minutes the din on
the inside became as great as the noise
made by the boys outside.
Matters were assuming a serious as
pect when the overseer decided to
change his opinion about remaining,
and he retired, after which the organi
zation of a branch of tho union was
effected.
Previous to this, a Democratic dele
gate election was held in tho same
building. One of tho factions, it is al
leged, tried to vote men who had voted
at tho recent Republican primaries, and
