EVERYTHING WILL BE CLOSED OUT
IN A SHORT WHILE.
The big semi-annual clearance sab 1
Inaugurated at Itefowich's famous Wear
Well Clothing, Hoot and Shoe House
several weeks ago has been a great suc
cess. Never before has a sale in Free
land caused such commotion and excite
ment. At times the big establishment
was so crowded with eager buyers that
it was impossible to wait upon all.
Everything has been marked down,
for it is a rule of this store that no goods
shall be carried over from one season to
another. Every article must go, regard
less of cost.
The stock now consists of several
broken sizes and lots, in which you will
find many extraordinary bargains. Save
money by attending this sale. What is
still left must be disposed of at once, as
we will soon prepare to receive the large,
stock of fall and winter goods which is
being made up for us.

FIREMEN MAY
BE BEATEN
Members of U. M. W. of A.
Mast Resume Work.
Friction Between Labor Or
ganizations May Result In
Defeating the Strikers.
Conference Being Held,
The firemen received what* will pro
bably be the death blow to the strike
yesterday afternoon, when the United
Mine Workers' executive committee of
District No. 1 ordered all firemen who
are members of the United Mine Work
ers to return to work.
President Mullahy of the striking fire
men last evening formally asked the
United Mine Workers, through Presi
dent Nicholas, of the First District, to
go out on a sympathy strike. Nichols
could not give a definite answer, but a
meeting has been arranged by Presi
dents Duffy, of District No. Fa hoy, of
District No. 7, and Nichols, of No. i,
with Mullahy, of the firemen, at Hazle
ton today.
The order of the executive board will
probably so affect the national officers
of the Coal Hoisting Engineers' Union
and the International Association of
Stationary Engineers that they may
refuse the permission desired by the men
to go on strike. Jt will prevent 90 per
cent of the firemen in the Scranton dis
trict from going on strike, and it is ex
pected to so affect the firemen of the
Mount Carmel and theShamokin region,
who are oadered to strike tomorrow. In
the Lehigh, Scranton. Shatnokin and
Mount Carmel regions the firemen belong
to the United Mine Workers, and it is
only in the Wilkesbarre district
they have an organization of their own.
There has been friction between the
union mine workers and the firemen as
a class ever since last fall. At that
time the firemen and engineers refused
to desert the pumps, and therq was ill
feeling. When the strike was ended
they, however, shared in the 10 per
cent increase won by the striking mine
workers and this was the cause of ad
ditional ill fooling. Most of the firemen
then, having practical illustrations of
the advantages of organization joined
the United Mine Workers, but those in
the Wyoming valley became members of
the National Association of Stationary
Firemen, thinking they would get more
benefits as a separate organization.
The officials of the striking firemen
say they will now get the firemen who
are ordered back to desert the United
Mine Workers and join the Firemen's
Union. Fully 00 per cent of the firemen
who belong to tin; Miners' Union in the
Scranton district have refused to join
the strike and not one is on strike in the
lower and middle coal regions. *
It was expected by the strikers that
the Mine Workers would refuse to go to
work with non-union men in the boiler
room, but they not only worked but al
lowed some members of their own union
to take the strikers' places in the boiler
room and help the bosses and clerks em
ployed there.

IVSail Delivery Service.
James B. Byrne, of Philadelphia, who
for fourteen years was a letter carrier
In that city, is spending a few weeks in
Freeland for the benefit of his health.
Mr. Byrne is well posted on the system
of United States mail delivery in the
cities and towns, and at the request of
several people here In; has consented to
give Freeland citizens an opportunity to
take advantage of a law passed a few
years ago by congress. This law gives
to towns not having the population
required to claim free delivery the priv
ilege of engaging a carrier to deliver
the mail from houso to house within the
limits of the town. The law provides
compensation for the carrier at a rate
of from one-half to one cent a letter or
postal card, all papers and circulars to
be delivered free.
Mr. Byrne lias agreed to give Free
land the, benefit of this law if asufficient
amount of patronage can be assured,
and will charge the law's minumum rate,
viz., one-half cent per letter or postal
card, all other mail to be delivered free.
This system is generally the lirst step
taken by towns to secure free delivery
service of all mail, and if the business
people and others will assist tlio move
ment it will prove a great saving of
time, and will reflect considerable credit
on the town.
Drifton Shop Strike.
Nate Shaffer, a son of Mine Foreman
Ben Shaffer, is one of the Drifton shop
strikers, and has been chosen as the
latest target for the malice of Coxe
Bros. Si. Co. The father lias been noti
fied that he must drive his son from
Drifton or Coxe Bros, it Co. will dis
pense with Mr. Shaffer's services. The
contemptible brutality exhibited by the
Drifton corporation since the shop
strike begun is arousing widespread
indignation and reflects anything but
favorably upon the stockholders who
apparently condone this inhumanity.
The strikers are still holding out for
what they believe is right aud no breaks
iu the ranks have been made. After
scouring the state from end to end the.
company has secured the services of
half a dozen men to take strikers'
places. No new work and no repairs
have yet been turned out of the shop,
which is sufficient proof that the new
men are not skilled workers.
