SETTLEO BY
ARBITRATION
Kingston Strike Ends in a
Satisfactory Manner.
Company Appoints a Man,
the Union Appoints An
other, and These Choose
a Third Arbitrator.
The 1,800 striking miners of the
Kingston Coal Company have been treat
ed to their first lesson in actual arbitra
tion. Yesterday the arbitration com
mittee met and settled many of the
differences that caused the strike of the
men and boys, some weeks ago.
T. D. Nichols, district president of the
United Mine Workers, represented the
employes, and Cornelius Cronin was
chosen by the company to appear in its
interest. Professor Griffith, superin
tendent of the public schools, of Nanti
coke, was selected by the two as the
third arbitrator.
It was decided that hereafter each
car shall contain not less than 103 cubic
feet of coal. The cars in use at the
mines vary In size, and a general order
to put six inches topping on all brought
about the trouble.
Tho differences between Foreman
Thos. Morgan and some of the miners
will be submitted to another board of
arbitration. Tho men will return to
work on Monday.
Chapel Dedications,

Laurytown ahuahouso by Mrs. Coxe, of

lin, of Freeland, will preside at the
organ, and Misses Susie Cole and Mary
Brady, of Beaver Meadow, will assist in
the singing. Mrs. Coxe, the poor direct
ors and a number of invited guests will
attend the dedication.
The dedicatory services of tho Protest
ant Episcopal church were performed
on Wednesday at tho chapel by Rev. J.
B. Buxton, of Drifton, in the presence
of Mrs. Coxe, tho directors and other
friends of the institution. Music was
rendered by the choir of St. James'
