STRIKE ON AT
HAZLE BROOK
Employes of Wentz A Co.
Quit Work Today.
Trouble Is Caused by the
Firm Refusing to Allow
Extra Compensation to
Men in Wet Breasts.
The employes of the Ilazle Brook
colliery of J. S. Wentz & Co.
quit work this morning and all opera
tions at that place are at a standstill.
The cause of the trouble, as near as can
be learned from the men, is the action
of the bosses in compelling men to work
in breasts where the downpour of water
is such that the workers cannot stand It
for any length of time without risking
their health.
It is also claimed that the bosses use
this method to get square with men
who are personally obnoxious to the
management.
The men havo tried in every honor
able way to settle the difficulty and
procure extra compensation for the
hardships endured in those, breasts, but
the company refusod and turned a deaf
ear to their appoals.
Over 400 men and boys are now idle,
several of whom resido in Freeland.

School Board Meeting.
A special meeting of the borough
school hoard was held Wednesday even
ing to consider the question of provid
ing sufficient room for the Increased
number of pupils who will apply for
admission to the schools at the opening
of iho school term.
The financial condition of the district
seriously handicaps the directors In
making estimates for proper provision
for the accommodation of the children,
anil, while many suggestions have been
ottered, there has not yet been any plan
devised by which the problem will bo
solved satisfactorily.
The board decided that the building
committee should havo plans prepared
at once for the erection of an addi
tional room In the Washington street
school. This will utilize all the avail
able space in that building.
Principal Ilouck was present and
gave the board considerable information
on the subject under discussion, show
