Every Employe at the Big Plant Lays Down His Tools and the Men Come Out in a Body. After waiting ten days for an answer to their request for a nine-hour day the employes of the Drifton shops received a reply on Monday afternoon. This reply was as follows: Mr. P. J. D.:ver, Chairman, Drifton, Penna. Dear Sir.—Core Hroe. and Company, Incorporated, will not grant the petition presented by your committee in behalf of the shop employes, in which they ask for ten hours pay for nine hours work. This company has already voluntarily Increased the wages of all shop employes working by the hour by lo per cent. It has also granted your request for Saturday half holiday and lias Increased the pay of the shop employes leaving Drifton at (5 a. m. and returning at 0.20 p. in., from 11 hours to 11 hours and 37 minutes, lleyond this, this company positively refuses to make any conces sions. Very Respectfully, J. H. Pennington, Superintendent Motive Power. When the answer was read to the employes they adopted the only course open to men who believe they are right, and without a single exception every one of the 280 workers dropped his tools and quietly departed. The strike was inaugurated at 4.30 on Monday afternoon, and since that hour every department of the big plant has been barren of life— except for the prowling about of half a dozen bosses and a few office clerks. The omployes of the shops are all members of Federal Labor Union, No. 8750, American Federation of Labor, and a meeting of the union was held Monday evening in the Municipal build ing. They are a unit on the subject which caused the strike, as they have satisliod themselves that the owners of the Drifton plant are as well able to accede to the short-day demand as the owners of the hundreds of eiinilar estab lishments throughout the country who have met their employes fairly on this question. The strike is being conducted credit ably. The fact that no one is workiog makes it unnecessary for the men to go near the shops, and no disorder is appre hended. The majority of the employes reside, !u Freeland. Good Repertoire Company. The engagemontof the Jessie Sawtelle Dramatic Company has given the people of this vicinity an opportunity to see lirst-class peuple in good standard dramas at popular prices.

The legislative conference committee's report on the Ferr.bee company store bill wis adopted by the senate yesterday afternoon and all that now remain, before tho bill becomes a law is the signature of the governor, tho house having adopted tho report of the con ferees. This makes the third bill the miners' legislative committee has suc ceeded in pushing through, but not without man/ rebuffs and discourage ments. Seventeon other mine hills are stili in committee and the prospects for their enactment into laws are not promising. The general belief is that there will bo no more mine legislation this year, thore being few administration measures left to use as a club with which to drive the administration forces Into line for mine bills. The company store bill as It goes to the governor Is the same as It was origi nally drafted, the amendment exempt ing from taiation checks on chartered institutions having been stricken out and the word "banks" insorted In Its stead. Tho object In striking out this amendment was to prevent corporations from evading the law by chartering their stores. Clash Is Threatened.
