SACRIFICES TO
KING COAL
Several Serious Accidents
This Week.
Resumption of Work Fol
lowed by Many Fatalities.
Dockage, Semi-Monthly
4 Pay and Other Matters.
More lives have been crushed out as
the result of mine accidents. This time
the victims are William Shepherd and
his stepson, Calvin Conner, well known
residents of Hudson, a little town in the
upper end of the county. While the
men were working in their chamber in
the Pine ltidge mine of the Algonquin
Coal Company, near Minors' Mills, there
was a sudden fall of top coal and the
men were buried under it. Other work
men were at once put to work to clear
away the fall and in a few hours
they came upon the body of Conner, and
that of Shepherd was found soon after
wards. Both were badly crushed. Shep
herd was about (17 years old and was a
prominent resident of that vicinity.
His stepson, Calvin Conner, was 45 years
old.
While telling a story to a party of six
men, George Osborne, a driver boy, was
instantly killed in the Cayuga mine at
Scranton. The men were in a circle
around him listening to Osborne's story,
when a "bell"' of rock fell. None of the
men wero injured.
Frank Macalosky, who was burned by
the explosion of gas in Kingston colliery
on Tuesday, died yesterday.
Matthew Freeman, aged 55 years, a
lire boss employed at Luke Fiddler col
liery, Shamokin, was fatally injured.
While making his rounds ho came upon
a mine car which had been derailed.
He tried to lift it on the rails, with the
assistance of several other workmen.
In doing so his body and head .were
caught between the car and the top and
side of the gangway, and before ho
could bo released from his perilous posi
tion his skull was fractured, his back
horribly crushed and several ribs broken
by the car starting to run.
Want the Law Enforced.
Tho mine employes of VanWickie's
colliery at Coleraine and Pardee's col
liery at llarwood have presented de
mands to the operators for tho enforce
ment of tho semi-monthly pay law. It
is stated that the law will be complied
with without legal compulsion.
Similar demands are being prepared
throughout the anthracite region wher
ever tho employes are paid only once a
month.
Excessive Dockage.
In some of tho mines in the Wyoming
valley where tho men have returned to
work there is much complaint of exces
sive dockage. The docking question
was not settled in tho agreement be
tween tho operators and the men, al
though the evil has been a crying one
for years.
At Hudson tho employes at the Dela-
FREELAND, PA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1000.
ware and Hudson Company mine, to the
number of 300, struck because of ex
cessive dockage. The company ollicials
say the men attempted to cut down tho
size of the cars they sent to tho break
ers.
The miners of tho Dorrance and
Prospect collieries of the Lehigh Valley
Coal Company struck yesterday against
excessive dockage.
New Coal Prices.
The new tidewater circular of the an
thracite mining and carrying companies,
issued yesterday, annouuees an advance
in the price of coal of 50 cents a ton over
that demanded by tho July circular.
Tho prices quoted for a ton on board
are as follows: $1.05 for stove and nut,
$4.40 for egg and $4.15 for broken.
Tho city retailers will reduce their
prices to the following figures on Mon
day: $5.75 for white ash, $0 for pink
and $0.25 for red ash. These prices,
while averaging $1 a ton less than was
demanded during the strike and 50
cents less than Is now being asked, are
still 75 cents higher than those quoted
prior to the strike. There is no likeli
hood of a further reduction during the
winter.
There has been no general advance
In prices at the mines for local con
sumers, hut an increase is among tho
probabilities of tho near future.
Deputy Shot by Comrade.
Captain Daniel Christian, of the coal
and iron police, has discharged ail of
the deputies. One of the number,
Walter Phillips, of Pottsvllle, is a patient
in the Pottsvllle hospital, where he was
admitted early yesterday morning with
a wound inflcted by Charles Unneweilor,
one of tho force. Tho bullet entered
the cheek bono and lodged on the back
of the neck. Tho surgeons failed to
r.emovo tho missile.
Unneweilor deliberately pointed his
revolver at Phillips and lired. He said
that he did not know his revolver was
loaded.
Mr. Mitchell's Itinerary.
Presidont Mitchell, of tho United
Mine Workers, and headquarters
stall have about ended their business in
tho anthracitu region. On Wednesday
night Mr. Mitchell addressed tho Mc-
Adoo miners and left next day for New
York city, where he made an address in
Cooper Union in the evening. This
j evening he will address a mass meeting
at Nanticoke, and on Saturday ho will
leave for his headquarters at Indian
apolis. Next week he will go to his
home at Spring Valley, 111., for a few
days of rest.
Incorrect Reports.
"No accidents during October" is
the report of Minn Inspector Davies, of
this district. While it is true that com
paratively few men were at work in the
Lehigh region last month, there were
mine accidents in October and some
serious ones at that.
The incorrect reports furnished each
month by Mr. Davies have boon noticed
by the mine employes and others for
some time past, and what purpose is
being served by theso untrue statements
is a matter of speculation among people
who keep tab on mine statistics.
McHughs Return to Work.
School Director Frank Mcllugh, of
Foster township, who was employed on
the survey corps at Eckley and who was
suspended by Coxe Bros. & Co. presum
ably because he granted the use of the
Eckley school bouse to the United Mine
Workers, has been re-instated. His
brother, John, who had charge of the
miners' supply store at Eckley and who
was discharged because ho refused to
pick slate during the strike, has also
been re-instated.

Silk Mill Strike.
The female employes of the Freeland
silk mill struck on Wednesday for an
increase in wages and the removal of
the forewoman, Miss Johnson, of Jeddo.
About two-thirds of the 150 girls em
ployed at the mill joined the strike.
Strenuous efforts are being made
to induce the balance of tho force to
join them, but they are only partially
successful, and tho mill continues work
ing, although badly handicapped by the
strikers.
The girls claim that Miss Johnson's
methods of overseoring are obnoxious
and unbearable. They dony the report
that her removal is asked for on ac
count of her step-father having worked
during tho miners' strike. Tho wage
question is a secondary matter, although
tho girls claim they are entitled to
higher pay.
The scenes in the vicinity of the mill
are exciting every morning, noon and
evening, and hundreds of people line
along Birkbeck street at tho hours when
the employes go to and from tho mill.
Those who are working aro jeered, and
every new rocruit to the strikers' ranks
is applauded.
Yesterday at noon a scrimmago oc
curred which looked serious for awhile,
but in the end no one was badly hurt
and the borough police prevented any
harm being done.
Four out-of-town special officers are
mill today and escorting
tho workers from their homes and re
turn. Tho Jeddo and Drifton employes
were brought to the mill today in busses.
A team was also sent to Upper Lehigh,
but the striking girls of that town pre
vailed upon all who live there to keep
out of tho bus and it returned empty.
Election Ballots Burned.
The Kaoder printing, lithographing
and binding establishment, Wilkesbarre,
was totally destroyed by lire last night,
causing a loss of over $150,000. The
ballots for tho First, Third and Fifth
legislative districts of this county,
about 50,000 in all, were destroyed, and
the county commissioners are busy
today making arrangements to have
them reprinted. There is barely time
to have tho work done, and they will
not be distributed before Monday.
The lire started from the oil room in
the cellar and spread up the elevator
shaft to all the eight floors, burning
them all after a stubborn blaze of three
hours.
Clergymen Ordained.
Seven young men were ordained as
clergymen in the Central Pennsylvania
