Mine Workers' Fight Against the Blacklist Is Likely to Involve the Entire Anthra cite Region. Five thousand union miners employed by the Temple Iron and Steel Company will strike on Monday morning. Presi dent Nichols' orders calling out the Temple's men were ratified yesterday by the local unions at each of the eight collieries belonging to the company. There Is a feeling among the workmen that another great battle between the United Mine Workers and the coal trust has begun, and that the strike just or dered may spread until the entiro an thracite region is embraced. This outcome, the miners say, is a direct result of a carefully laid plan on the part of the coal companies to estab lish the blacklist system and eventually to break up the Miners' Union entirely. The trouble with tlie Temple Iron and Steel Company is only the entering wedge. The Temple Company is composed of the presidents of seven large carrying companies, with President Baer, of the Philadelphia and Reading, at the head. The company has already closed three of its mines, and announces that if the miners go out no effort will be made to get them back. Inasmuch as the carrying companies have numerous other mines they will find no difficulty in getting all the coal they want. For this reason tho miners of the entire authracito region may bo called out. It would, to all appear ances, be necessary to do this, for the large companies would undoubtedly blacklist the Temple Company's men. The striko of the Temple Company's men Is the most serious labor revolt since the big strike of last fall, and it is not improbable that it will lead to a similar strike. The system of black listing the strikers at any mine is one which the union must fight, and fight it the United Minn Workers will, if all tho men in the region have to come out. The officials say the operators have become overconfident of their own powers during tho last few months, owing to the unaggressive attitude of the union, in compliance with the wishes of President Mitchell and district presi dents. This feeling on the part of the opera tors has, the union men believe, led thorn to tost the strength of the union by tho attempted blacklisting. If suc cessful with the Temple Company em ployes, it would, they firmly believe, be put in force at other collieries through out tho region, which are doing the sarao as tho Temple Company did, employing men who are strikers from other mines. The first men to follow the lead of the Temple Company men in striking will probably be those of the Lehigh Valley, from the Malthy mine, of which com pany the fifty discharged men were strikers. If tho movement for a sympathy strike gets well started it will spread rapidly, the union leaders believe, be cause the period of repression has told upon the thoroughly organized men, and there is not a colliery in the entire region where tho men have not some grievance they desire adjusted. It was not planned by the union to make any determined step for reform until next April, but this matter has been forced upon tho union by the Temple Company The impression provails that tho opera tors have been anticipating this move and quietly preparing for it for many months and would he happy if a general strike should be declared without their seeming to provoke it too openly. If it. js they believe they would be in a much better position than the miners to light it nut. The union, however, is in better con dition financially and as regards organi zation than ever before. In the anthra cite region the organization is almost perfect, and the men would have the advantage of the sympathy and aid of many other labor organizations. School Board Meeting. All the members of Freeland school board were present at the regular meet ing on Wednesday evening except Di rectors Buckley and Tiuiony.

The immense majority piled up in Lu zerne county for the state fusion ticket is a source of great gratification to the anti-machine men, and means tho de feat of all the machine power in this county. Harris and Potter did not get ouo-third of the total number of votes cast. The unofficial record of tho vote is as follows: State treasurer—Coray, 22,1)72; Harris, 9,114; Coray's plurality, 13,858.

McNelis, of Drifton, one of the men whose work on Tuesday helped to swell the Democratic majority, is a candidate for a clerkship under Re corder-elect Barrett. Mr. McNeils is one of the leading party men in the lower end and has for years past been a faithful worker at every election. His claim for recognition is a worthy one and deserving of the support of every Democrat in the Fourth district. The party leaders can in no more fitting way show their appreciation of the Fourth district vote than by backing the application of Mr. McNelis fur the pbslU6u he socks. ROUND THE REGION By a verdict of a jury of nine Metho dist clergymen Rev. Silas C. Swallow, widely known as a Prohibition party politician, was unfrocked and de barred from all ministerial services and church privileges until tho annual meet ing of tho Central Pennsylvania Metho dist conference, to be held next spring in Shamokin, shall pass upon the charges that led to his undoing, that of lying. This incident of the career of Dr. Swallow grew out of the assassina tion of President McKinley, who, as he lay dying, was attacked by Dr. Swallow in his weekly paper. Plymouth councilman failed to pass their recently created curfew ordinance last night. The councilman protested that the town was getting much notor iety through the matter and that people might get the idea it was a mossback community, and this would hurt busi ness.

Ladles can secure tho best scat in the house lor 15 cents by procuring same be fore 7 p. m. Monday evening. t t t "Tho Vermont Girl,'' in which Miss Amy French, as "Nancy Perkins,'' and Mr. W. F. Koifro, as "Eli Perkins," are starring in this season, cornos to the Grand soon. It is by far the most tune ful of all the rural comedy dramas now bofore the public, and is built for amuse ment purposes, which comes as near fill ing tho bill as any other entertain ment on tho road. It is full of pretty songs, graceful dances and humorous situations, and, to use tho stage term, is replete with funny business. X t X Tho Ilazleton Standard this morning says: "The Klark-Scoville Repertoire Company opened a three nights'engage ment at tho opera house last evening, presenting "A Country Kid' t,o a largo and appreciative audience. There have been many good repertoire companies in this city, but none that could equal that of last evening. The specialties— well, there are none bettor. The com pany ought to pack the house for the ctUifo three nights, for they desbi-ve it." LOCAL NOTES WRITTEN UP Short Items of Interest to All Readers.
