paper Causes the Arrest
of Officers of the Miners'
Local at Scranton.
The rocent convention of United Mine
Workers at Ilazleton placed a boycott
on the Scrantonian, of Scranton, al
leging unfair treatment. Union 861, of

the arrest of Editor Kit-hard Little, of
the Scrantonian, for criminal libel.

warrant for the arrest of the oflicers of

and they were arrestod and held in hail.
The oflicers arrested are P. VV. Toland,
Oliver J. Nichols, Thomas C. Brown, I*.
F. Burke and I). F. Dempsey. This case

I.ook Out, ItnnKbter.!
The Daughters of the American Rev
olution must look out for themselves.
They nre getting a reputation which
may make them unpopular and scatter
their younger daughters. An Evening
Staats-Zeitung man speaks of their
somewhat tempestuous congress last
month with sadness. What good Ger
man would take to wife a woman who
hisses in public meeting when she is
displeased and "says things" just as a
iiiaii might do when she is displeased?
"Who speaks now of the weaker
sex?" says the Staats man. "Weak
she is not when she lias the courage to
put oil her womanliness and put on the
armor of a man. Cupid, when he sees
this, will gather up his arrows quickly,
jump into his automobile and speed
quickly away." The daughters really
must look to their matrimonial chances.
