STRIKE AT
EBERVALE
Miners Shut Down the Col
liery Yesterday.
Trouble Breaks Out Over
the Hoisting of Employes,
Fears That the Strike May
Extend to Other Mines.
A strike was Inaugurated at the Eber
vale colliery of G. B. Markle & Co. yes
terday, and as a result the mine has
suspended operations and upwards of
200 employes are idle.
The cause of the strike, as given by
men employed at the colliery, is due to
the refusal of the company's foremen to
hoist miners to tho surface when a
sufficient number have appeared at tlie
bottom of the slope.
On Wednesday evening twenty-one
miners appeared at the bottom of the
slope and were awaiting the car which
would convey them to the surface. The
hour of quitting for the miners is 5
o'clock. At that hour it was noticed
that instead of tho inan-car being put
into service, the bottom man placed
another loaded car on the chain.
James Bowen, one of the waiting
miners, remarked that it was time to
put the stretcher on an empty car so
that the men could go home. The fore
man in charge at the point where tho
men gather, announced that the loaded
car must be hoisted first. It appears
that some one then wrote instructions on
the car to the outside man to place a
stretcher on the car. Tho next car
down was thus equipped.
A a result of that, Bowen was told to
report at Jeddo before lie could do any
more work. Bowen refused to do this,
and reported for work yesterday morn
ing as usual. lie descended tho slope
and was on his way to his work when
a foreman informed hiin that he could
not go to work until he saw the higher
officials. Bowen took his dinner pail
and left the mine. As ho was passing
through tho he was seen by
tho workmen, who, teaming of the difii
culty, laid down their tools and followed
him. In half an hour tho entire slope
was devoid of workmen, and in another
half hour the men at slope No. 3 were
out also.
Yesterday afternoon, at 4.30 o'clock,
the men met and selected a committee
to confer with Superintendent Smith.
The committee met that official and late
last evening reported to tho miners.
After hearing tho report of the commit
tee it was decided that the men shall
not work today nor uutil tho grievance
is adjusted.
Foars are entertained that the strike,
if not soon settled, may extend to the
other collieries operated by Markle &
Co. If such should be the case, over
2,500 men and boys would be thrown
idle and Freeland would receive a hard
blow.
Tho matter today was placed by the
Ebervale miners iu tho hands of the
executive board of District No. 7, of tho
United Mine Workers.
Stocks and Bonds Sold.
The stocks and bonds owned by tho
late Joseph Birkbeck, of Freeland, were
