FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1900, WILL ASSIST MILL GIRLS Mine Workers Take Up the Strikers' Battle. Plans Decided Upon Yes terday by the Local Unions to Win the Struggle at the Silk Mill. A mass meeting of the United Mine Workers of Freeland and vicinity was held yesterday afternoon at the Grand opera house. Addresses were delivered by Thomas Duffy, of McAdoo, president of District No. 7, and by "Mother" Jones. President Duffy stated that the pur pose of the meeting was to interest the miners and others of Freeland in the strike at the silk mill. He wont on to show that labor's battle in any industry should receive support of every legiti mate character from organized labor, and predicted that if the miners' union does its duty now the rail! strike will soon be won. "Mother" Jones followed the district president. She explained that she was called to other parts of the region last week, otherwise the movement which was begun at last Monday evening's meeting would not have been allowed to lag. She outlined the causes which led to the strike, pointed out the abuses to which the mill employes are compelled to submit, the injustice of permitting children to work for the wages paid, and called upon the miners to stand by the little girls and boys of tho town in their struggle against the mill owners. She made a passsionate appeal to tho members of the United Mine Workers to take active stops at once to bring tho strike to a successful ending. She re peated her denunciation of those who oppose the strikers and who are assist ing the mill owners to defeat them. At the conclusion of her address those not members of tho United Mine Workers were requested to withdraw, and a joint meeting of members of all the local unions of tho vicinity was held. ! The mill strike was thoroughly dis cussed at this meeting, and tho men were again addressed by President Duffy and "Mother" ' .Tones, also by Organizer Ilonj. James, of Jeanesvillo. A plan of campaign was mapped out and committees were appointed to do the work decided upon, after which tho meeting adjourned. Last evening a number of those em ployes who did not strike were called upon and requested to remain away j from work until the strike is over. | Later a committee called upon A. W. Bleckley, manager of tho silk mill, and discussed tho matter witli him. Prominent members of the Mine Workers declare that tho strikers' de mands will be vigorously upheld hence forth, and that if tho first plan fails it will be followed by other measures which tho Silk Mill Company will lind not so easy to overcome. The report from tho mill today is that the usual number of hands, excepting a few, reported for work this morning. New developments in tho strike may now be expected daily. Small Firms Must Go. The gradual consolidation of the an thracite industry was demonstrated on Saturday by President Fowler, of the New York, Ontario and Western Rail road, who stated that nearly all the coal lands of the remaining independent operators along tho lino of the Ontario and Western had boon purchased in the interest of the railroad company, thus securing the output of these mines to the railroad permanently. These mines control about 85 per cent of the coal tonnage contributary to the road, and heretofore under control of independent operators. It completes the policy which led to the purchase a MISCKLLANKOUS ADVKKTISKMENTS. lABTATE OF THOMAS E. DA VIES, lute of J'J Freeland, deceased.

Haworth's Position. The position of Representative-elect H. W. Haworth on the United States senatorship question is causing much speculation among the politicians of the county. 110 is claimed by the Quay and the anti-Quay factions, but since his election he lias made no one acquainted with his intentions. The platform upon which Mr. Haworth was nominated recognizes the caucus rule of the party, which would make him a Quay follower, but the other side claims he is not bound to stand by the convention's platform. Tho factional fight in tho Republican party is becoming more bitter every day and every effort is being made to capture votes for and against Quay. Hotly Contested Game. Freeland and Hazlcton football teams met yesterday afternoon at Jeanesville, and the game ended with a score of 5 to oin favor of the latter club. The con test was an exciting one from beginning to end. In the first half the local boys did not play as carefully as they might have done, and as a consequence Hazle ton scored 5 points. The second half was well contested by both sides and while Freeland gained considerable by their centre rushing neither scored. A boisterous crowd was present and the game was frequently interrupted by tho spectators crowding around tho players and interfering witli tho game. Lutz Jury Deadlocked. The jury in the Lutz murder case lias not yet agreed upon a verdict. At 6 o'clock Saturday evening the jurors wore locked up until court opened this morning. Judge Halsey had told them that if they reached a verdict at any time during the day ho would come into court and receive it, but although tho attorneys and tho court officers waited around all day, there was no word from the jury room yesterday. Great interest is manifested in the length of time tho jury will ttay out, as at the first trial of the accused tho jury was out seventeen days before reaching a verdict of guilty In the first degree. Figuring the Increase. The mine workors of tho vicinity re ccivod their October pay last week and many are spending their leisure moments figuring the 10 per cent increase given by tho operators. The employes who are paid by the month, day or hour have no difficulty in arriving at a satisfactory result, but with tho miners who receive so much per car and so much for "dead work," the problem is not so easy to solve. Several of the miners' checks show no signs of a 10 per cent increase, and the matter is receiving attention from the members of the various branches of the United Mine Workers. Y. M. C. A. Notes. Yesterday afternoon's meeting was one of the largest attended and most interesting held for some time. The services were conducted by Hev. C. A. llall with the assistance of P. C.
