STAR SHOE STORE, HUGU MALLOY, PROP., Centra ftinl Walnut Streets FISHERMEN ARE READY Tomorrow Will Be First Day of the Season. Followers of the Sport Look Forward and Anticipate Much Pleasure—Offend ers to Be Punished. The condition of tomorrow's weather is the one thing in all th.e world that is giving the true firsherraan any concern today. Tomorrow is April 15, the first day on which trout can be fished legally, and the followers of the sport are pray ing for clear weather, in order that they may enjoy the pastime to its fullest extent. The season which opens tomorrow will continue until July 31 next, and, if the laws provided by the legislature are ob served by all who fish, there should be abundant pleasure during that period. To those who may be inclined to trans gress the fish laws the warning notices posted by State Fish Warden Hugh Malloy, of which the following para graphs are extracts, should cause them to hesitate, as no leniency will be shown to offenders who may be caught. State fish wardens have authority to search and examine any boat, vehicle, fish-box, basket, bagcoat, or other re ceptacle for fish, when they have good reason to believe that any of the fish laws have been violated.

The miners of the Wyoming and La' kawanna valleys, through the State Federation of Labor and personal ef forts, will attempt to have the next legislature change the mine laws so that mine inspectors may be empowered to act as inspectors of mine weights and scales. This Important duty now de volves on the county clerks, and It is said the majority of these clerks are not conversant with the duties involved. The scales are necessary things to the miner in some collieries, for it is on the true balance of the scale beam that the miners depend for correct wages. Under the new system of electing mine inspectors, the duties of these of ficers will not be so diversified as for merly, and it is said by the minors that it would not be adding much to the work of each to require them to inspect the scales and weights. The miners are almost unanimous in their opinion that the law should be so changed. Union Men Condemn Quay. Resolutions which scathingly con demn Senator Quay for his attempt to open the door for the entrance of a horde of Chinese to the United States have been adopted by Local No. 9178, of the American Federation of Labor, of Mauch Chunk. They are as follows: "It is the unanimous voice of this local of the American Federation of Labor that we notify you of our views relating to the damnable and contempt ible manner In which you are exercising the prerogative of the United States senatorsbip. "As a common citizen you ought to feel, and in fact know, that Chinese labor would bo a rottuu pillar for a full dinner pail and fair wages. That for you to bow down to the heathen Is considered ■ by us lower than the aetiou of the idola- j tor who bows down to wood and stone. I "For the past twenty-five years we have watched your career as individuals "REELAND, PA., MONDAY, APRIL 14, 1902. and now a an organization we feel that ft is time for you to get off the perch upon which the cartoonist has so happily placed you. "You have been weighed and found wanting. Your opponents, the insur gents, have exposed your corrupt methods, and we hereby "Resolvo, That, if we can help it, you shall 'gold brick' the American laboring people no longer; be it further "Resolved, That our secretary is in structed to notify you of this action." Policy Not Made Pub!ic. The national executive board of the United Mine Workers of America, after a week's session in Indianapolis, ad journed on Saturday without making public the policy adopted regarding the anthracite coal field trouble, further than to announce that the matter has been left entirely in the hands of Presi dent Mitchell and the anthracite district officers, pending the result of the nego tiations of the Civic Federation com mittee. The action of the national board. It is bel'eved. foretells a strike unless the operators shall yield to the demands of the minors. Just when the strike will be ordered Is a part of the secret of the national board. No strike will be order ed, however, until the full thirty days given the National Civic Federation to arbitrate the differences between the miners and operators shall have expired. Sunday, April 27, Is the date when the thirty days will expire. Is Now a Superintendent. The following, from the West Vir ginia Herald, published at Thurmond, W. Va., will be pleasing news to the many friends of a former Freeland young man: "P. E. Gallagher, who for the past year has been the agent to the Chesa peake and Ohio Coal Agency Company, with headquarters at this place, re signed his position on the first of April to accept the superintendency of the Bell Creek Coal Company, at Belva, VV. Va. He is succeeded here by C. T. Thurmond, of Alderson, VV. Va. "Mr. Gallagher has proven an efficient representative of the C. & O. Coal Agency Company, and is most favorably known throughout the mining sections. Mr. Gallagher at one time was the editor and proprietor of the New River Reporter before that paper was changed and con solidated with the West Virginia Herald. We wish Mr. Gallagher success In his new field." Are Still for Elkin. Senator Quay's announcement that he is against the nomination of Attorney General John P. Elkin for governor has aroused local Republicans, In conver sation with several of the party leaders here they say they are still for Elkin, notwithstanding the opposition of Quay and other state leaders, and tbey pre dict that their favorite will bo named by the Republican state convention if he remains in the field. The break in the machine is also being matched with in terest by those of this vicinity who were identified witli last year's insurgent movement. Local Democrats look upon the whole affair as a game of bluff and place no faith in the reports that any real opposi tion to Elkin will be fostered by Quay. They say Elkin is the logical machine candidate and that the alleged rupture is only a ruse to hoodwink independent Republicans. Gave a Good Show. One of the best vaudeville shows of the season was that given hero on Fri day evening under George 11. Downing's management.
