GATHERING FOR
THE PARADE
Preparations for Today's
Big Demonstration.
An Army of Union Working
men Will March Over the
Principal Streets of Free
land This Morning.
Undaunted by the threatening weath
er, which greeted the thousands of
Mine Workers and other organized
workingmen of lower Luzerne county
as they arose this morning, the commit
tee of the Central Labor Union Is ready
to carry out the program of the day.
As the Tribune is going to press the
men who will take part in the big dem
onstration are gathering at their various
mooting places, the local unions from
tho outside towns are on their way to
Freeland, and every trolley car and
train Is bringing hundreds of visitors to
town.
Unless an unusually heavy rain comes
down before noon the parade will bo
the largest in point of numbers over
seen in Freeland. Since Friday nearly
a dozen more unions of the United
Mine Workers have decided to partici
pate in the celebration here. Tho order
and route of parade will be as announced
in Friday's Tribune.
I.AIIOU DAY AT WILKENBABKK.
The labor unions of tho Wyoming
valley are to hold tho largest parade
Wilkesbarro has ever seen on Labor
Day. All business places are shut down,
and all factories and mines are idle,
while every labor organization In tho
valley will participato in the parade. It
is expected there will bo 20,000 men in
lino and 50,000 visitors in the city.
Mine Workers Adjourn.
The convention of the United Mine
Workers concluded its deliberations on
Friday. Tho delegates, many of whom
went to Ilazieton with the determina
tion to take immediate steps towards
compelling certain companies to respect
tho agreement of last fall, returned
homo perfectly satislied with tho deci
sion reached by the committee on reso
lutions, and they will now patiently
wait the result of Mr. Mitchell's efforts
to bring abflut a satisfactory solution
with the heads of the corporations.
The- principal topic under discussion
at Friday's sessions was tho restriction
of the output. There were also several
other topics of no less importance, but
definite actiou on most of them was
left to the national president and the
district oflicors. The relation of tho
ktireinon to the mine workers came in for
a great deal of consideration. As a
moans of avoiding conflicts between
the dilToreut organizations it was de
cided to take into the Mine Workers
all men employed in and about the
mines.
Resolutions denouncing the legisla
ture fur its alleged failure to enact into
laws all tho bills demanded by tho mine
workers were ruled out of order on tho
ground that the injection of politics was
against the rules of the organization.
The hoard of Pardons was commended
for its action in recommending the re
lease of two of the strikers convicted of
rioting at Oneida, and tho board was
petitioned to take favorable action ou
the cases of the ten other rioters who
are still confined. Tho convention au
thorized the respective district executive
boards to declare local strikes whore
last spring's agreements have been vio-

Witchcraft in Shamokin.
Jacob Shuck, of Shamokin, who was
committod to jail recently on tho charge
of practicing witchcraft, was brought

buck. She alleges that Shuck caliod on
her mother to treat her for sickness. It
is alleged ho orderod Miss Reybuck to
kill the black cat in tho cellar, because
he declared it had ninety-nine devils in
it, and as long as it was about his spell
over the sick would be futile. Tho cat
was disposed of, but the patient grew no
bettor.
Tho hoodoo doctor then made "dovil"
masks, as he called them, on the wall of
the house to drive away the evil spirit,
and borrowed a 340 silver watch which
belonged to Mrs. Roy buck's deceased
husband. It was not returned, and Mrs.
Reybuck died shortly afterwards.
Shuck was remanded to jail in default
of SBOO bail.
