Joint Meeting of District
Executive Boards.
Labor Bills Held Up in the
State Senate lmportant
Bill Missing—Meeting of
Markle's Employes.
The district executive boards of the
United Mine Workers of the anthracite
region met at Ilazleton on Saturday.
The greater part of the morning session
was devoted to a discussion of the many
petty strikos which have occurred since
last October. Several suggestions were
made by which the strikes could be
remedied, but no definite action was
agreed upon.
At the afternoon session the question
of the withdrawal of the loader and fire
bosses from the union, in accordance
with an order recently issued by the
Reading Company, was brought up, but
as the order effected only District No. 9,
no action was takon in the matter.
Secretaries of Districts 7 and 9 were
instructed to issue circulars to the
various locals asking all contract and
company miners to refrain from cutting
coal, blasting rock, or doing any timber
ing on days when the collieries are Idle.
It was decided that no coal shall be
loaded on idle days except by men en
gaged In repairing airways and railways,
and no colliery shall work more than
ten hours a day. The new order is to
become operative on May 6, and shall
affect all work done except slope and
shaft sinking and tunnell driving.
LABOR BILLS MAY NOT PAHS.
The prospect of the passage by the
senate of any of the four anthracite !
mine bills advocated by the United Mine
Workers Is not very reassuring. The
large operators are opposed to them and
have succeeded in tying them up In the
senate committee on mines and mining
since thoy passed the house a month ago.
They have agreed to support the bills
on condition that the mine workers
accept certain changes suggested by
Factory Inspector Campbell. The
miners insist that the bills pass without
a single change, and a final effort will
be made at Wednesday's hearing to
effect a compromise.
The bills provide for the election of
mine inspectors by the people instead of
having them appointed by the governor;
providing for the weighing of coal and
Its payment by weight instead of by the
car; authorizing tho miners to appoint
checkweighmen, whose duties will be
similar to the checkwelghmen In the
bituminous regions, and provide for the
weighing of coal before it is screened.
Attorney General Elkin has been
asked by tho mine workers' loaders to
help pass the bills, but he has declined
on the ground if they should become
laws .he might be called upon to pass
upon their constitutionality.
IMPORTANT BILL MISSING.
Powerful corporations throughout tho
state, are determined, if possible, to
prevent the passage of house bill No.
211. This bill passed the house, but
was "lost" in transmission to tho senate.
The measure would practically tax out
of existence the company stores, against
which labor organizations have for years
battled iu vain. The present law on
this subject on tho statute books is in
operative.
The bill was Introduced In the house
by Representative Ferrebce, of Schuyl
kill county, and places a tax of 25 per
cent upon "all orders, checks, dividers,
coupons, pass books or other paper
representing wages or earnings of an
employe or member of his family." In
other words when a corporation issues a
store order iu lieu of wages it must pay
to the state a tax of 25 per cent of the
amount for which it is given.
MEETING OF MARKLE'S EMPLOYES.
The union employes of G. B. Marklo
Co. met yesterday at the Grand opera
house. Tho Eborvale and other griev
ances which threaten to cause trouble
were discussed, but none of the business
transacted was given out for publication.
It is understood that tho grievances
are ou a fair way of being settled.

abstinence was delivered at St. Ann's
Catholic church last evening by Rev. J.

No Doctor for Smallpox.
Hon. Stanley W. Davenport and
George B. Butler, directors of the Cen
tral poor district of this county, have
been endeavoring to secure a physician
for the past few days to attend a man
named Lyons, who is suffering from
smallpox at Larksvillc, but thus far
they have been unsuccesful. They have
offered $lO per day to any medical man
who will attend the case. The young
man has had no medical attendance
since the nature of his complaint became
known.
Dr. Louis Edwards, who has a number
of patients in that vicinity, gave the
guards about the house advlco as to
what nourishment would be best for tho
young man and instructions as to the
treatment of the corpuscles on the face,
but outside of that he has had no treat
ment whatever.
The family owns three dogs, which
are confined in the house, and the
guards have been notified to shoot them
as soon as they venture outside. All
other necessary precautions are being
taken to prevent the spread of the
disease. Children of the vicinity arc
being vaccinated by tho score.

THEATRICAL.
The Scranton Tribune of December 1,
1900, in reviewing Mildred Holland's
performance, said: "As Aria, Miss
Holland had a role which offers her
splendid opportunities and none of
them go begging. In the first and sec
ond acts, she is the tender trusting
maiden, devoted to her parents. She
has attracted the love of a man of a
higher social scale. To save the life of
her father, and to rescue her mother
from tortures, she allows herself to be
made a wanton in the eyes of the man
she loves, and in the scene of the duch
ess' palace, when she has been humili
ated and disgraced past endurance, all
that is strong and pure within her
rebels at the suffering that has been
inflicted upon her. She has been goad
ed too far, and like a tigress, she turns
upon the despicable duchess and paints
her picture as she is beheld by virtuous
women. It was a fine scene and capi
tally acted by Miss Holland. The fourth
act has also emotional scenes fur the
star which were enacted with an
absence of heroics that was admirable.
The staging of the play is presented in
au exceptionally fine manner, the first
and third acts being particularly beauti
ful." The principal members of the
cast are Lillian Norris, Frances Brooke,
Rita O'Neal, Frederic Ormonde, Frank
Drew, S. A. Rose, L. D. Wharton,
Leonard Walker, Florence Rentier and
many others.
t t t
Stetson's colossal dramatic and scenic
production of "Uncle Tom's Cabin"
comes to the Grand tomorrow evening.
This production far surpasses that of
last season in every particular. Special
attention has been given to the staging
of the piece, and several scenic effects
aro magnificent. One of the largest
organizations of white and colored arista
ever gathered together in one combina
tion has been engaged by Mr. Leon W.
Washburn for this season, everyone of
whom was selected for his or her adapt
ability for the part assigned. A clevor
lot of colored people add materially to
the production by a number of high-class
specialties. The street parade has two
bands of music, a number of gorgeous
chariots, tableaux wagons and little
carriages built at a large outlay of
money, making it the finest free street
pageant over given by any similar or
ganization.

terday by the trustees. Sheriff Harvey
and Hazle township constables were

factions.
You will waste time if you try to cure
indigestion or dyspepsia by "starving
yourself. That only makes it worse when
you do eat heartily. You always need
plenty of good food propeyly digested.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is the result of
years of scientific research for something
that would digest not only some elements
of food but every kind. And it is the
one remedy that will do it. Grover's
