FREELAND, PA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4, 1902. STRIKE IS GROWING. Many Men Who Worked on Monday Have Joined the Idle Kauktt. No unusual conditions were presented in the miners' strike today other than the accession to the strikers' ranks of some of the engineers, firemen and puuiprunners who had remained at work on Monday. These men, It Is claimed, regarded the strike order as not effective until the day had closed, when they notified the bosses they would not be at work yesterday or today. In the Pittston district 11 engineers and pumpmen yesterday joined the ranks of the strikers. This makes about 158 men out in the Pittston dis trict and 37 at work. In the Carbon dale district the number of man out lias Increased from 412 to 437. In the Wllkesbarre district out of 900 employes the number of idle men was increased to 674. Gains for the men are also re ported in tbo Shenandoah and Tainoqua districts. Tho strike In tho Pottsville district has boon so thorough that the operators are wavering and are beginning to offer concessions. At the Williams colliery, at Flshback, the striking pumpmen and firemen were offered all the concessions demanded, but tho men refused to re turn to work until ordered to do so by tho United Mine Workers. At Silverton colliery tho demands of tho striking pumpmen have also been granted. It is said that the operators of tho Lytic colliery, near Minersvllle, one of the largest in tho anthracite region, have offered the firemen and engineers an eight-hour day, although none have yet returned to work. No serious disturbance has yet taken place and none will come from the □liners' side if tho union leaders' orders are obeyed. At Oneida early yesterday morning a march was made through the town, but nothing worse than tho giving of a scare to the coal and iron police developed. IN THIS VICINITY. In the vicinity of Freeland Coxe Bros. &. Co. is suffering inoro inconvenience than any other corporation or firm. Other operators' mines are so situated that either a few bosses can do the work that is required or tho mines have been closod down completely. With the Drifton couipany's collieries it is differ ent. A largo force Is necossary to furnish steam and man the pumps, and with every engineer, fireman and pump man on strike they are driven to the limit to keep the water out of the mines. This conditiou of affairs has caused trouble In an unlooked-for quarter. The mine foremen wore ordered to fill iho striking steam-meo's places, but the order was not generally obeyed, several of the bosses quitting bofore they would run engines or pumps or go into a boiler house to work. Assistant paymasters, office clerks, coal shippers and survey ors were then pressed into service and since Monday night the collar-and-cuff brigade has boen shoveling coal, wheel ing ashes and working at whatever positions their abilities permit them to fill. Tho foremen who did not feel dis posed to obey tho order of the company to run pumps have quit work. Clerks, surveyors and others who would not wheel ashes were discharged. Among those whoso principles were more prec ious to them than their jobs were Frank Dover, George 11. Thomas, John J. Mc- Neils, in addition to those named in Monday's issue.- At Eckley, Stockton, Beaver Meadow and Oneida foremen and clerks wore discharged for refusing to take the strikers' places. NATIONAL GUARD READY. Philadelphia National Guardsmen, says the Press, are much agitated ovor the strike situation. They eagerly scanned the bulletin boards yesterday in order to ascertain, If possible, whether It was likely that their services would be needed to rest ire ordor in the coal re gions. In many instances those who have business of importance depending upon them made all necessary arrange ments to have their affairs attended to in case tbey were suddenly called out. The general opinion prevailed among tho members of the Guard that should it bo necessary for them to go to the strike district their stay in that rogion would be protected. Commanding officers of regiments, troops or batteries resented any ques tions regarding their commands being ready for active duty by replying that they were always ready. As a precau tionary measure, however, company com manders have received the suggeston, . it was said, that it would be wise to | have all accoutrements and company ' property In perfect order. August Fletcher, expert machinist for the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company, and residing at Pottsville, was killed by a Reading passenger train near Shamokin last night. Fletcher was a former resident of Hazleton. COUNCIL* MEETING. Special Llrht Committee Expect* to Pre sent Propositions Soon. The regular session of the borough council was held Monday evening. Messrs. Sweet, P. G. Gallagher and Moerschbacher were absent. Mr. Mc- Neils was elected president pro tern. The following bills were ordered paid: Electric Light Company, street lights, two months, $540.06; Progress, publish ing audit, $45.45; Tribune Printing Company, Limited, publishing audit and ordinance, $52.10; J. D. Myers, re pairs, $1.25; James J. Kennedy, testing fire plugs, $2; M. M. O'Boyle, supplies, $7.50, and bi.ls for drying hose to the amount of $27. The bill of s3l 50 of the Freeland Water Company was referred to the fire and water committee to make an effort to have an agreement with the com pany to base charges on the amount of water consumed during the next three months. The Good Wills Athletic Association was granted the use of the Public park on August 16. An invitation from the Citizen's Hose Company to participate in the Fourth of July parade was accepted and council decided to walk In a body. The use of the Public hall was grant ed to tho United Mine Workers two evenings a week during the strike. The oaths of John liudish and John J. Carr as special policemen were order ed filed. The janitor's report, with bills for salary and feeding prisoners to the amount of $32.15, was accepted. Tho report of tho street commissioner was read and approved for the amount of $208.24. The total recoipts of tho burgess' re port were $17.95; $7.45 due burgess and $10.50 due borough. The report of the chief of police, with police expense of $150.45, was approved. The police committee was ordered to procure necessary supplies for officers. Tho matter of changing the machine used for the fire alarm from tho boiler bouso of the Light plant to tho outside of the building to insure its better work ing was given to the proper committee with power to act. The law and order committee reported having confered with tho the solicitor regarding the tracks of tho Traction Company. He advised to notify the company to remove tho same. No action. Tho street committeo made a report. All work has been stopped on streets. The sale of bricks netted $53.11. The committeo recommended the purchase of brick by car-lots to be sold to citizens at cost and freight. The report was con curred in by council. The special light committee appointed at the last meeting reported progress with the expectation of having a proposi tion for*council before tho week expires. After much discussion the tax rate was levied the same as tho past year, 18 mills, divided as follows: Light and water, 8 mills; borough, 5 mills, and sinking fund, 5 mills. Owing to a misunderstanding between tho purchasers of the brick, who did not know they wore obliged to pay freight, a motion prevailed that the brick sold was to bo billed at tho rate of $9 per 1,000. The building committeo and socretary were authorized to procure a bill and letter filing cabinet for the proper care of documents. The building committee was ordered to procure prices on the orection of a table properly fitted for the drying of hose. Council adjourned to meet at tho call of the president to hoar a report from the special light committee. Capturing New Men. The Mine Workers in this region dis play great activity and watch every iu corning train. Several dozen of the men sent here from Philadelphia to serve as watchiuon or to take strikers' places have been induced to return to their homes. Tho oporators' agents claim these men are allowing themselves to be induced to return to Philadelphia at the miners' expense in ordor to more quick ly deplete the union treasury, but as several insist on paying their own fare home after learning the exact conditions here tho.claim does not hold good. Final Examination. At a meeting of tho commercial class of St. Ann's school last evening they received their percentage for tho final examination.

DePierro, 95%; A. .Powell, 94%; James Thompson, 94M; Grace Sweenev, 94)4; Nellie Quinn, 93%; Charles Roilly, 93%; Mary Green, 93; A. Gallagher, 92%; C. E. Broslin, 91%; John Boyle, 88%, C.
