FREELAND, PA., JULY 8. 1901.
Many Firemen May Strike.
The crisis In the troubles of stationery
firemen In the Wyoming and Lacka
wanna regions will come on July 15,
when a refusal of tho demands of the
men may cause a general strike. The
firemen demand an eight-hour day,
without a decrease in wages. At their
state convention a few weeks ago it was
decided to go out in the event of tlis
officials of tho coal producing companies,
railroads and mills refusing to consider
their grievances. As yet there has been
no answer received from either tho coal
corporations of tho anthracite region
or from the other sections of the state.
Labor leaders say that a strike will
practically tie up the entire anthracite
region. Coal companies would bo un
able to fill the places of the striking fire
men, and, without proper attention, the
mines would soon be flooded and tho
result be disastrous.
Included in the purchase is tho coal
in the Twin siiaft. the scene of the dis
aster of 189b. The bodies of fifty-eight
victims are still encased, the supersti
tious miners refusing to enter that sec
tion of the workings. The ne # w pur
chasers, however, intend to open up the
gangway and secure the coal.

A PLEASING EXCEPTION.
A Firm InMltntPs a Nine Roar Day
Before It la Requested.
[Special Correspondence.]
The L. 8. Stnrrett company of Athol,
Mass., seem to have got ahead of their
employees In the knowledge of econom
ies and surprised them April 21 with
the following circular:
"The present agitation for a reduc
tion in hours of lalnir, of which you
have of course read In the papers, has
not been passed over without attention
by us. In fact, we have been giving the
matter serious and careful considera
tion for a number of months. This mat
ter has been taken up by us not on ac
count of any demand from our em
ployees, for we have received none;
moreover, we have not received even a
request faoui you in regard to the mat
ter, nor lias any employee mentioned
the subject to us In any way whatever,
but because we believe that reducing
the number of work hours per day from
ten to nine will be beneficial to work
men in general, and nowhere should it
be more so than with intelligent and
progressive employees such as ours
are."
Stephen Blackpool said long ago that
things were "a' In a muddle" to hini.
But he Intimated that It was the busi
ness of the fortunate ones to look up
the cause and cure of evil, because
they have the time.
We are glad to see a firm demand
shorter hours and got what it wants
right away. It may be a Uttle Irregular
and an unorthodox way M proceeding,
but It Is the quickest way and hence
ought to be the American way. The
circumlocution office, with Its "how not
to do It," Is a foreign Importation.
The employees of the Stnrrett compa
ny celebrated with a big procession
such as Athol never saw before. Trans
parencies gave Information to this ef
feet: "Some workmen have to strike,
but the L. S. 8. strikes us all right."
It should never be forgotten, howev
er, that the unions, descended from the
old labor guilds, hated, misunderstood,
outlawed through dark ages, have kept
alive something of the Ideal. But for
the struggles of united workmen in the
post conditions would have remained
so undemocratic as to he incapable of
improvement. As the more fortunate
workmen owe everything which makes
life worth living to the struggles of the
past, do not they also owe something to
their less fortunate brothers?

OLD AGE PENSIONS.
Another Stop of the Civilization
Thnt Creeps Along Slowly,
In Germany a system of pensions for
old worklngmeu is in practical opera
tion.
In France the system is discussed by
the legislators, and It will undoubtedly
be adopted. The idea Is to compel ev
ery worklngman to pay 1 or 2 cents per
day, according to his wages, the em
ployer and the state each contributing
the same amount. This amount will be
Invested and kept as a fund for the
payment of pensions to workmen more
than 65 years of age, their pension be
ing proportioned to the number of days
of labor during which they have con
tributed to the fund.
It Is really pathetic to learn that this
feeble attempt to meet the problem of
poverty stricken old age Is opposed as
socialistic even In France, where smug
plutocracy has received so many hard
knocks.
The assessment of a few cents per
day on very small wages and a very
small pension, just enough to buy
bread, at the age of 65 Is certainly not
a deliriously cheerful outlook for the
pampered worklngman.
But own the admission that some
thing ought to be done to protect the
old age of n man who has worked hard
for 50 years Is a step forward. Here
and there governments are gradually
feeding that they ought to do for their
old workmen what the average kind
hearted man will do for his old horse,
give him a clinncc to die peaceably on a
slim diet.
This attempt to organize pensions for
old workmen Is one of the little wrig
gllngs of society. It is one in a million
of the millions of efTorts which are des
tined ultimately to bring about society
decently organized.
In time the destiny of the working
man will be very different from that
Just now discussed by those who advo
cate a small pension for men who are
about to die, worn out with hard work.
When a few more centuries shall
have rolled around, all men will be
worklngraen, and all work will be hon
ored and attractive.
Men will do their work willingly and
cheerfully and thoroughly, because
they will take an interest in it and be
cause they will work under pleasant
conditions.
They will bo well provided for while
they are working and perfectly pro
vided for when their working days are
done.
The class which accumulates and ab
sorbs what it does not need and de
lights In grinding the unfortunate will
have disappeared.
We shall then have reached the be
ginning of genuine civilization.—New
York Evening Journal.

Our Sun n Smnll One.
The HUH is about 02,000,000 miles off.
The only way of measuring the dis
tance of a llxed star Is by parallax, and
scarcely more than half a dozen can be
estimated that way. Suppose the suu
Is here, In space, on .Tan. I. On July 1
be will be 1S4,000,0<)0 miles over there.
This Is the base of measurement. The
observer who wants to estimate the
distance of, say, the star A Centaurl
uotos Its position with regard to the
next star. In six months he notes
again, and if they ore separated by a
different distance a so called parallax
Is established, and some calculation
can be made of the distance of the
nenrost one. In the most favorable
cases this parallax is extremely slight.
What is the sun made of? The lines
of the spectrum give an idea of his
chemical properties, but beyond that
nil is hypothesis. Ills substance, as a
whole, is of luurh lighter material than
the earth, but yet there may lie a hard
and heavy fiery pudding Inside, for
there is a light and thick outer coating,
named tin* photosphere. Outside this,
refining away to an unknown distance,
Is the chromosphere, of hot air, so to
speak. The spot ft are rifts through the
photosphere, coming and going, and
some are so large that our whole earth
couhl be shot right through, with a
thousand miles to spare all around.
When a total eclipse covers the sun,
flames to the height of thousands of
miles are seen out of the photosphere.
The sun is a hundred times larger than
the earth, an easy thing to say, and yet
our sun is believed to be a rather small
one. For Instance, Sirius is at least
nine times as big. Imperial.

• A good breakfast is the physical basis
!of a day's work. The American break
: fast, regarded with so much horror on
! the European continent, lias contrib
! uted largely to make the nation what
jit Is today. It enabled our forefathers
| to do an amount of work which it ap
! pals foreigners to contemplate.
As a rule there is something wrong
with the man or with his habits if he
cannot eat n good breakfast. A man
who works at high tension all through
the morning hours without tills sub
stantial foundation is working entirely
upon Ids nerves. That means disorder
ed nutrition and sooner or later bank
ruptcy and collapse.
If a man gets up in the morning with
<n bad taste and no inclination for food,
it is because his system is full of waste
and his circulation of obstructions. Let
him make a radical change in his hab
its and train his digestive organs to ac
commodate a nourishing morning meal.
—Medical Brief.
A Cnrlona Error.
The Rev. Dr. Edward Everett Hale
told how a curious error crept into the
translation of the Lord's Prayer into
the Delaware Indian tongue. The Eng
lish translator had as an assistant an
Indian who knew English. "What is
'hallow' In Delaware?" asked the trans
lator. The Indian thought he said "hal
loo" and gave him the equivalent.
Therefore the Delaware version of the
Lord's Prayer reads to this day, "Our
Father, who art in heaven, hallooed be
thy name."
A Good Knight.
"Don't you think that if I had lived
in the days of old 1 would have made a
good knight?" asked the young man
who had been talking ancient history
from 8 to 11 p. m.
"I don't care so much what you would
! have made then," wearily observed the
, young lady, "hut you might see what
, kiud of a good night you can make
I right now."—lultimore American.
