NO CHANGE IN
SHOP STRIKE
Latest Peace Movement Re
sults in Failure.
Superintendent Smith De
mands Unconditional Sur
render—Drifton Hotel Vis
ited on Saturday.
There is nothing particularly new to
report in tint Drifton shop strike. Doth
sides appear as determined as ever to
win. The movement looking tuward a
settlement of the trouble, mention of
which was made in Friday's issue, lias
ended in failure. It was an effort on
the part of the clergymen of town to
bring the conflicting interests together
and to promote harmony. The strikers
gave the clergy authority to proceed ac
cording to their own judgment, but
Superintendent Smith, of Coxe Bros. A
Co., gave no encouragement, demand
ing nothing less than unconditional sur
render on the part of the strikers and
at the same time reserving the right to
discriminate in re-employing the work
men.
The responsibility for the failure of
the movement rests entirely upon Smith,
whose arrogance and stubborn disposi
tion have won to the side of the strikers
many people who heretofore had with
held their sympathy.
Coxe Bros. A Co., having refused the
offer of peace extended by disinterested
parties, have only themselves to blame
if the present trouble shall extend.
The strikers and organized labor in
general arc now fully aware that they
are dealing with a corporation which
lias at its head one of the most narrow
minded and prejudiced men who lias ever
had control of largo business interests
in tiie coal fields, and the light that will
probably result from his rejection of the
olive branch will cost the stockholders
of Coxe Bros. A. Co. thousands upon
thousands of dollars before the men will
again give him the opportunity to make
honorable peace.
The business people, minors and
others who are only indirectly interested
in this strike regret that the attempt to
end the trouble lias failed. The offer,
coming as it did from mutual friends
who were actuated only by the best
motives, should have received more con
sideration than was accorded it.
Smith's rejection of the clergymen's
proposition, however, was a surprise to
only those who do not know the man as
ho really is. Many peoplo. even in
Freeland, judged him by the position lie
holds, and expected to liud in him a
broad, liberal-minded man, qualified to
deal wit.li important questions in a man
ner creditable to himself and Coxe Bros.
A. Co. His latest action has caused a
decided change in the public's opinion
of the man, as liu has proven himself to
be no more than thoso whose dealings
with him in the past considered him—
an ungentlemanly upstart whose sole
ambition is to crush his fellow-uian.
The only redeeming feature of liis
lifework is his ability to earn annual
dividends of 00 per cent for his employ
ers, and in the eyes of the modern Coxe
Bros. A Co. this one trait covers and
atones for the sultisli, biased and grind
ing policy whicli make possible such il
legal and ill-begotten gains.
lIKIPTON HO I HI. VISITKI).
At 4 o'clock Saturday morning Drif
ton was visited by a large body of men.
There were upwards of gOO people in the
line which paraded into that town and
halted in front of the Drifton hotel, tlio
abiding place of the dozen of non-union
men who have taken strikers' places in
the shops. So much had been heard of
thoso who came hero from distant parts
to lill the positions formerly held by
local men that much curiosity had boon
aroused, and it was to satisfy that
curiosity by viewing the non-union men
that drew so many strike sympathizers
to Drifton at that hour.
The paraders, however, were disap
pointed, as the objects of their sight
seeing expedition did not emerge from
the hotel at the usual time to be escort
ed to the stockade. In their place, how
ever, appeared Superintendent L. C.
Smith, who tore around in ridiculous
fashion. For half an hour the head of
Coxe Bros. A Co. swore and blasphemed
at all creation and furnished great
amusement fur the crowd.
The paraders dispersed at 7.30 o'clock
and returned to their homes. Some
time later the Drifton band of coal and
and iron police, with thirteen non-union
men in tow, came out of the hotel and
hurried their captives to the shops
whore the dailjKtattoo of hammers on
old iron began.
FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, JULY 29, 1901.
Fighters Hard at Training.
From bo Wilkesbarre Democrat.
Frank McGee, of Philadelphia, who is
to light twenty rounds with Thomas
i <iuigley, of Luzerne, at Freoland, on the
j :t Ist lust., is now hard at work in the
training quarters of Jatnes J. Jeffries,
the heavy weight champion, at the town
of Morchantville, N. J. A gentleman
who spent Thursday at the training
quarters, states that McGee is in the
finest shape of any pugilist he has seen,
lie is weighing 105 pounds at noon.
As this is live pounds lower than the
fixed weight, the lighter will start to
take on weight in a few days until he
reaches 108. At 3 o'clock on the after
noon of the fight the men will weigh in,
and it Is expected that McGee will be a
little off that weight, but by the time of
starting the light he will belli condition.
So far the favorite in the bantam
weight fight, is Quigley. Nothing can
shake the opinion of the friends of the
Quaker City fighter, but many of the
local sports will back McGee, and ac
cording tn the words of Jeffries, in? will
be a winner. A special train lias been
chartered on the Lehigh Valley Rail
road to take the Wilkesbarre "sports'
to Freeland.
Burglar in Her Room.
Mrs. George Tunis, of Morea, had a
desperate struggle with a burglar whom
she discovered in her bedroom at an
early hour. He succeeded in escaping
only by leaping from a second-story win
dow. Mrs. Tunis and her six-year-old
daughter wero home alone, as her hus
band worked that night. She was
awakened by noise in her room, and,
rising in bed, she saw a man ransacking
a bureau drawer where the family sav
ing are kept, llelng a strong woman
and full of pluck, she leaped from her
bed, and, before the burglar knew It.
grappled him from behind and threw
him to the floor. Then she screamed.
The burglar struggled and fought hard
is rise, and finally succeeded in throwing
Mrs. Tunis aside. lie arose, made one
hound and leaped thrmgh the window
to the ground just as neighbors were en
tering the house in response to Mrs
Tunis' screams. They looked for him,
but lie had made good his escape.
Death of Miss Johnson.
Miss Annie Johnson died on Friday
at her home in Pittsburg. Up to a few
years ago the young lady was a resident
of Freeland from her birth. She re
moved to Pittsburg with her mother,
Mrs. Charles A. Johnson, and her bro
thers and sisters. A few months ago
she paid this town a visit, in the hope
of improving her health. When leaving
here she appeared greatly benefitted by
her trip, and the news of her death was
a surprise to her relatives and friends.
Miss Johnson was aged 23 years and
besides her mother she is survived by
five brothers and two sisters.
The remains arrived at Ilazleton on
the Pennsylvania Railroad at 0.30
o'clock this morning and were met at
tlio station by several friends. The

Ann's cemetery, where interment was
made.
Claims the Nomination.
Controller Lloyd's attorneys have fin
ished the preparation of the controller's
contest papers and according to the
present program tliov will be filed today.
The statement was made a few days ago
that Mr. Lloyd had abandoned his idea
of contesting the nomination of A. 10.
Dick for controller. The controller
states that there was no foundation for
such a report and his decision to bring
the matter bofore the courts shows that
ho means to stand by what he said on
the evening of the county convention.
Strong pressure has been brought to
boar on Controller Lloyd to drop the
contest, but lie says he cannot afford
to, inasmuch as it is his firm belief that
he was frauded out of the nomination.
Several politicians are doing everything
possible to prevent the coutest reaching
the courts.

ROUND THE REGION.
i The dissatisfaction which for some
time has existed among the telegraphers,
firemen and trainmen of the Central
Railroad of Now Jersey, has culminated
in the submission of a list of grievances
