SECOND WEEK
OF SHOP STRIKE
Men Who Were Working
Induced to Quit.
Both Sides Making Strong
Efforts to Gain Ground.
Strikers Steadily Gaining.
Situation Today.
The strike of the Drifton mechanics
entered upon its .ocond week today.
The striker, have made many ;;alns the.
past few days by tbo addition of those
who continued to work. They were inet
by the strikers and induced to quit. No
further breaks from the rauks are ex
pected to occur. The strikers have the
sympathy of the people and by their
peaceable actions hope to merit It. The
men are determined and confident of
winning and the efforts of the manage
ment to create distrust and dissension
among them have proved failures.
Saturday the company posted the
following notice at Drifton:
"Notiok.—ln view of the permsnant
closing of the Stockton breaker, and
tho subsequent closing of the mines,
and further, the policy of restricting
the work at tho Drifton shops to the
needs of Core Brothers and Company,
Incorporated, only, you arc hereby noti
fied that a general re arrangement of
forces will be put In effect at said shops.
To carry out this scheme, It has been
decided to permenantly close tho foun
dry and pattern shop, todisponse, gener
ally, with tho services of apprentices, In
all shops; to contract all painting, all
moulding work, and all other machine
work and blacksmith work, except
emergency jobs.
We will, therefore, receive applica
tions for employment of twenty-five (25)
machinists and ten (10) machinists help
ers, under forty-five years of age; marri
ed men preferred, eight (8) blacksmiths
and (10) blacksmiths helpers; eighteen
(18) car repairers and seven (7) carpen
ters; (10) boiler-makers and five (5) boil
er-makers helpers; and eight (8) appren
tices, to be distributed between the
different shops.
Painters, tnotildors, pattern-makers
and fancy carpenters not wanted.
Coxa Brothers & Company, Inc."
The notice is looked upon as another
bluff for which the Drifton company Is
becoming notorious.
The condition of machinery and other
matters at Drifton which required tho
attention of the strikers when at work
is fast becoming dilapidated.
The Coxo residences at Drifton, at
which repairs wore being made by work
men from Philadelphia when the strike
was declared are in an unfinished state.
The workmen refused to continue work
after the strike was declared and re
turned to Philadelphia.
It 1s the opinion of many that the
strike cannot last much longer and a
move on the part of the company to
wards a settlement is looked for in a
short time.

FREE BRIDGES
Preamble and Resolution Presented to the
CoiuinlHttiunera by ltd Advocates.
A large delegation of members of the
Free Bridge Association called upon the
county commissioners last week to see
what they intend doing with reference
to the report of the grand jury that the
toll bridges of the county shall bo freed.
The officers of the association were also
present and the subject was discussed
with the commissioners. Tho latter
stated that they had decided upon no
course of preceedure and knew not
what effect the law would have in case
they should refuse to free tho bridges,
if, however, the law is mandatory, they
supposed there would lie no other course
but to act. The following paper was
then presented to the commissioners:
"We herewith present to you tho fol
lowing resolution passed this 18th day of
Juno, 1901, in the orphans' court room
in the court house of Luzerne county by
the Free Bridge and Free Road Associa
tion of said county:
"Whereas, Over 200 citizens and tax
payers of Luzerne County have petition
ed to have the river toll bridges over tho
Susquehanna river in said county ap
propriated by said county and made
free; and
"Whereas, with the exception of those
directly interested in said bridges, public
sentiment is in favor of having said
bridges freed from toll; and
"Whereas, Pursuant to said senti
ment, the grand jury of said county,
without a dissenting voice, approved the
taking of said bridges, as provided by
the act of assembly of 1809, P. L. 231;
therefore, be it
"Resolved, That it is the duty of the
county commissioners to forthwith enter
upon and take said bridges, according
to the provisions of said act.
The resolutions are signed by Rush
Treseott, chairman; G. N. McAlarncy,
secretary, and many members of the
association.
