LABOR MEN ON PARADE Miners Hold Demonstration Here This Afternoon. Strikers March With Well- Filled Ranks and After ward Listen to Addresses at the Opera House. The United Mine Workers of Free land and vicinity this afternoon infused new life into the strike movement here abouts by turning out in large numbers to hear addresses upon the questions of the day. The demonstration was arranged by the Central Labor Council, and though short notice was given to the members of the local unions, the parade which preceded the speaking was creditable to the workingmen who participated in it. The locals began assembling at 2 o'clock, and at 2 30 the line was formed and marched down Centre<street to Car bon, to Washington, to Walnut, to Centre, to Luzerne, thence to the Grand opera house. Charles Jacquott, president of the Central Labor Council, was marshal, and with four aids on horses led the parade The speakers in carriages came next, followed by St. Ann's band and Local 1499, of town. The Upper Lehigh drum corps furn ished music for Local 1521, of Upper Lehigh, and 1027, of town. The llalaklava drum corps was fol lowed by Locals 1052, of Highland; 1518, of Jeddo; 1902, of Kborvale, and 1053, of Sandy Run. Locals 1519, of Drifton; 1939, of Free land; 1548, of liazlo Brook, and 1507, of Eckley, formed the last division. The number of inen in lino oxceedcd 2,200, which is less than half the numer ical strongth of the organizations partic ipating in the demonstration. The absentees are now out of the region, working or seeking work elsewhere. The parade was marked by an ab sence of banners or other inscriptions, nothing but Amoricau flags being car ried. The men marched along with a steady tramp, without noise or bluster, hut with a determined look upon their faces that showed them prepared to 1 1N A NCI A L STAT EM EXT <>r Foster Town- P ship School District for the year ending JunoS, 1902.

County Socialists Nominate. The Socialist party of this county held its convention at Wilkesbarro last even ing and, after nominating a county ticket, passed strong resolutions in sup port of the miners. One specifically demanded the collec tive ownersliip by the people of the mines and breakers, to the end that the coal mining industry be conducted fur the public good and not for the produc tion of millionarios and the profits of parasites. Another guarante<d sym pathetic and substantial aid to the strikers. After endorsing the state ticket the following county ticket was nominated: For congress, C. F.

National President Answers the Letters Issued by the Operators. The United Mine Workers have made a final appeal for arbitration. It is tendered at the close of a statement issued by .John Mitchell, late yesterday afternoon, wherein, by facts and figures, gleaned from no less authority than the United .States government reports, be refutes sundry assertions made by the presidents of the coal carrying roads in the letters sent out by them at the close of the New York conference with Car roll D. Wright. After citing all the facts in the case he concludes: "Conscious of the great responsibility resting upon us; apprehensive of the danger threatening our commercial su premacy should the coal miners of the entire United States become participants iu this struggle, we repeat our proposi tion to arbitrate all questions in dispute, and if our premises are wrong, if our position is untenable, if our demands cannot besustaiucd by facts and figures, we will again return to the mines, take up our tools of industry and await the day when we shall have a inoro righteous cause to claim the approval of the American people." The document, which is addressed to the public, maintains that as that public is the innocent victim of the conflict now going on between the anthracite operators and the anthracite miners, it should be fully and accurately informed of the merits of the question in con troversy. President Mitchell points out at length that the miners have earned on an aver age less than any other class of work men, according to his figures tho aver age earnings being less than §3OO a year. Taking up the claim of the operators that tho productive capacity of mine workers has materially deteriorated since the complete organization of the union, lie quotes government reports to siiow that there has been an increase instead of a falling off in tho productive capacity of men on the average. lie also attacks tho railroad presi dents for their statement that they can not increase wages without making a corresponding increase in the price of coal to the consumer. In this connec tion he charges that the operators have had no hesitation in materially advanc ing the price of coal since the strike begaii. Mitchell designates as absurd Presi dent Baer's statement that be is ready to submit the books of the Reading coal department for investigation to prove that wages cannot be increased. Ho charges that tho books would show a loss because of the excessive freight rate charged by tho companies for carrying the coal. Mitchell also brings out the miners' claim that a ton of coal at the mines means anything from 2740 to 3190 pounds to the ton, the difference being found in tho extra amount the miner is compelled to load on cars to allow for waste material. After touching on the dangers to which tho mine worker is subjected and calling attention to tho peaceful attitude of the strikers he closes by announcing that the miners did all they could to avert tho strike. Then ho makes the statement that tiio real purpose of tho operators is to destroy the union, and says that if they do succeed another labor organization will spring from the ruins. ROUND THE REGION Two murder cases wore disposed of at Pottsvi 110 on Saturday.
