Hugh Malloy, Prop. Corne X CONFERENCE WAS HELD Miners Meet With Officials of Markle & Co. Trouble Over Rock Breasts in No. 5 Colliery the Sub ject of a Lengthy Meeting in Jeddo Today. A committee of the employes of G. It. Markle & Co. had a conference at 9 o'clock this morning with Superinten dent W. 11. Smith, Jr., at Jeddo. The purpose of the conference was to en deavor to amicably adjust the trouble which has arisen over the question of paying for rock in certain breasts in No. 5 colliery. There are over forty places affected by this rock, which varies in thickness from three to fourteen inches in differ ent breasts. At times two and three seams of rock are found, with thin layers of coal between. The firm has offered to pay the hun dred or more men employed in these breasts by the day, and while some minors favored the acceptance of this offer the majority opposed it, as they would have to remain on day's wages until the work is completed. The lat ter were also backed by other contract miners, who feared that the placing of so many men ou company work would be the entering wedge that would break up contract mining under this firm. In order to bring about an amicable adjustment the committee called upon Superintendent Smith this morning. The trouble was gone over in detail. The result was an agreement that the affected placos will be examined to morrow by two mine foremen and two miners from another section of the col liery. The men in the rock breasts will re sume work tomorrow, pending a final settlement of the difficulty. Foster School Board.

Some years ago he spent some time in Freeland, in charge of stripping opera tions for his father, and was known here as a daring and fearless man and an expert in the use of dynamite and other high explosives. Mr. King was in South Africa when the war there began. Naturally, his sympathies went with the Boers In the struggle, and the war was not long in progress until he cast his lot with the sturdy Dutch farmers. His knowledge of explosives made him a valuable acquisition to the army and his work in that lino has earned for him the sobriquet of "Dynamite Dick." Ad vices from the scene of war tell of many daring exploits conducted by our former townsman, including the derailing of British trains, blowing up of bridges and in other ways harassing the enemy.
