SAYS MINERS
MUST GIVE IN
Baer Claims It Is the Only
Way to End Strike.
P. & R. President Assumes
the Role of a Jester When
Interviewed Yesterday on
Prospects of Settlement.
"The operators are lying low and
biding the time when the miners will
come to their senses and resume work,"
said President Baer, of the Philadelphia
and Reading Railway Company, In New
York yesterday. He was asked about
the visit he received In Philadelphia
from Father Curran, of Wllkesbarre.
"Father Curran had no proposition
for a settlement to submit to me," said
President Baer. "llow could he? He
is in no wise a factor In the strlko.
Father Curran asked me If there was no
way in which the trouble could be
settled. I told him there was one way
—namely, that the miners return to
work ana behave themselves. Our In
terview was very pleasant, but I cannot
help thinking that it would be better
for all concerned if outsiders kept their
hands off and left us to settle this diffi
culty with the men."
"If a general strike should be declar
ed, and the strike orders generally obey
ed," he was asked, "In what manner
would that Influence the situation in the
anthracite region?"
"In no manner whatever," was the
roply.
"But would not a general strike tend
to tie up the industries of the country?"
"I don't know. You haven't noticed
the sky falling down, have you?"
Iu roply to a question whether there
was any Intention on the part of the
operators to resume operations in the
near future with non-union men Presi
dent Baer jestingly replied:
"Oh, the dog days will soon bo over
now. 1 don't blame people for not
wanting to work hard those hot days.
Later on it will be cooler, and then per
haps tho miners will And It more pleas
ant to work."
Father Curran has not gone to Now
York, nor Is It believed that he will.
The action of President Baer in telling
him that tho operators would not listen
to anything from him and that nothing
he could say would alter tho situation
has deterred Father Curran from going
to Now York.
Presidont Fowler, of tho Ontario and
Western Railroad, said yesterday:
"Under no circumstances will there be
any conference with the minors or any
settlement of tho strlko, or any conces
sions. I wish to reiterate that under no
circumstances will the strike bo sottled,
except by unconditional surrender of
the men. No matter what happens,
nothing can change tho situation."
PLACED UNDER BAIL.
Charles Jacquot was arrested Wednes
day evening by Constable Ziegler on a
warraut Issued by Alderman Heiden
rieh, of Hazleton, on Information furn
ished by John Hodgson, North Centre
street. Jacquot is charged with riot
and unlawful assembly by Hodgson, who
is a Drlfton shop employe. Tho accused
waived a hearing and gave ball before
Squire Buckley to tho amount of SBOO,
Mrs. William Jenkins furnishing the
security.
Frank Gatskl and Ben Brown, of
Harwood, were placed under SIOO bail
each yesterday by Alderman Ileiden
rlch, on tho charge of calling Mrs.
I'iioma Acker a "scab."
There will be no moro marches by
strikers in the Panther Creek valley,
this being the determination of tho strik
ers themselves. On the charge of as
sault and battery and rioting last week,
nine men wero held underssoo ball each
at Lansford yesterday.
.MISCELLANEOUS NOTES.
The delegates of District 7 to the
national convention at Indianopolis
passed through hereon tho 0.34 o'clock
Lehigh Valley train last evening. They
expect to reach their destination by 6
o'clock this evenlug. The convention
opens tomorrow at 10 a. m. and tho dele
gates expect to 11 'ish their work bofore
Saturday night.
Tho Reading Company paid Its rog
ular employes on Monday and granted
a 10 per cent Increase to all who re
mained at work during tho present
strike. Tho Increase was not given to
the special officers and workmen Im
ported Into the district.
The weekly meeting of the railroad
presidents was held yesterday In New
York, but no Information was given out
by those who attended.
Upper Lehigh has resumed Its normal
FREELAND, PA., WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 1902,
quietness, and the excitement occasion
ed by the violence committed at the
Hoffman home Is gradually dying out.
The Hoffmans have returned from Eck
ley, to which town they ran after es
caping from their house, and the Upper
Lehigh Company will recompense them
for the loss sustalnod by the destruction
of their furniture. No arrests have yet
been made in connection with this affair,
but it is reliably reported that warrants
bavo been Issued at Hazloton for parties
suspected of having a hand In the work.
An effigy Is hanging at the corner of
Adams and Carbon streets. No one
seems to know how it came thoro or
what It represents. It is supposed,
however, that it is Intended to reflect on
two of Adams street's residents who
went Into Drlfton stockado to work at 1
o'clock Monday morning.
The work of picketing the roads lead
ing from Freeland to Drlfton Is carried
on every morning from 4 to 7 o'clock.
Sheriff Jacobs was an interested spec
tator twice this weok, but found noth
ing doing to warrant interference by
him.
District Treasurer Henry 11111 has
been placed in charge of the affairs of
District 7 during the absonco of the
other district officers, and all matters
requiring Immediate consideration will
be attended to by him.
Tko question of suspending the duos
of tboir members until the strike Is over
is being discussed In several local bene
ficial societies.
ARRESTED THIS MORNING.
Daniel Mulrauey, of South Ridgo
street, was arrested this morning by
Deputy Sheriff Isaac Eckert on a war
rant sworn out at Hazleton on Informa
tion furnished by Albam VVasmer, of
Front street, a civil englnoor employed
by Coxe Bros. & Co. The charge is as
sault and battery and is alleged to have
been committed on July 1.
Mulraney waived a hearing by fur
nishing S2OO bail before Squire Shovlin
to answer the charge in court, Hugh M.
Bresllu becoming his bondsman.
Public Schools Still Open.
The public schools In Fittston town
ship are still in full blast. It will be
remembered that the teachers, during
last winter, wont out on strike be
cause they did not receive their pay.
They remained out uearly two months,
when arbitration and promises of pay
brought them back to work. Then an
other obstacle loomed up in the shape of
the law, that no state appropriation
shall be given to any school district un
less the schools have been kept open in
said district for at least seven months.
Fittston township stood in a fair way
of losing the appropriation, as the
schools were not open the required
number of months, due to the teachers'
strike. Theroforo the teachers aro at
present at work making up lost time in
order to secure the appropriation from
which their back salaries are to be paid.
No Meeting of Council.
Owing to the absence of A. J. Ma
loney, representative of the VVelsbach
Light Company, no meeting of the
borough council was held on Monday
evening. Nine members wore present,
but the majority felt that without Mr.
Malonoy or a proposition from him tho
council could uot make any progress in
settling tho light question.
The proposed test of the Welsbach
light, which was to be given the same
evening, was postponed for the same
reason.
Mr. Maloney's absence was said to bo
caused by tho dangerous liluess of a
young daughter at the family home in
Philadelphia.
Died Very Suddenly.
Edward Ilinklo, agod 73 yoars, one of
the oldest rosidonts of Butler township,
died at Ilazloton hospital yosterday.
The decoased was admitted to tho insti
tution ten days ago, suffering from a
broken log. The fracture was reduced
and the leg placed in a plaster paris
cast. He was doing nicely and up to
twenty minutes before his death was
apparently in excellent health. Death
is supposed to have been duo to heart
disease.
Mr. Hinkle is survived by a wife and
several children, among them being
Mrs. Albert Snydor, wife of the Butler
township school director.
D. S. & S. Shops at Roan.
From the Hazleton Sentinel.
It is said that In a very short time the
D. S. & S. Railroad Company will begin
to remove their shops and round houses
from Drlfton to Roan Yards. This was
tho original intention when the road
was built, but for some time there has
not been anything heard of tho matter.
The company has an excellent location
at Roan for their property, and the
trouble that has been experienced lately
in Drlfton is given as a reason for the
decision being reached to move.
STRIKE FUNDS.
Amonnt Contributed In 1887-88 Contest.
Miners Will Fight If Given Relief.
Inasmuch as tho raising of a fund for
the striking miners is now being con
sidered by labor leaders it Is worth re
calling the amount contributed to the
Lebigh region miners during tho six
months' strike of 1887-88. The total
receipts of financial contributions to the
miners from labor unions and Individ
uals, exclusive of the amount expended
directly from the treasuries of local
assemblies attached to District Assembly
87, K. of L., under whose auspices the
strike was conducted, were $133,609.06.
The amount disbursed for relief and ex
penses was $133,630.14. .
D. M. Evans was the treasurer of the
relief committee and expended $ll.OB
moro than he received. In addition to
this deficit, bills were contracted by tho
relief committee with merchants and
others In Freeland, Ilazleton, Lansford
and other towns to the amouut of
$5,567.72, which brought the total
amount expended to $139,187.86.
Tho strike of 1887-88 was conducted
through a period of a year, from Septem
ber to March, when tho demand for
relief became very pressing, and the
figures given above are presented to
show how far a small amount, compara
tively speaking, will go wheu tho men
on strike are determined to hold out and
win.
The Lehigh rogion strike brought
suffering to many families, but there
was no starvation reported nor did
actual want appear without being
promptly alleviated.
If, then, loss than $140,000 could sup
port the 14,000 miners and their families
who struck in 1887 for six months, or,
In other words, If each family averaged
less than $lO for the period, tho propos
ed strike fund of a million and a half a
month, which would be less than $1
per month from tho members of the
labor unions of America, would give the
140,000 men now on striko a monthly
allowance greater than tho avorage
Lehigh striker's family received while
tho 1887-88 striko lasted.
Should tho labor leaders of the coun
try decide to assess tho members of
their respective organizations and col
lect a monthly fund of one and one-half
million dollars for tho anthracite min
ors, as has been proposed and Is likely,
operators and others may rest assured
that tho strike will not end as soon as
very many are inclined to predict. Tho
railroad presidents may even succeed in
gathering sufficient miners who are
tiring of the struggle to open some of
their collieries, nevertheless there is
nothing In tho situation to warrant a
general break from tho union ranks
while financial relief is In sight.
Tho minor is proverbially a fighter,
due, probably, to tho conditions which
surround most of them in obtaining
their rights from their employers, and
knowing that much depends upon hiui
In the present contest, he can bo expect
ed to uphold bis reputation and ask for
no quarter until concessions are offered
or necessity compels him to humble
before those who threw down the guage
of battlo.
Thorofore, when the expected finan
cial assistance arrives, Interested parties
may with good reason place tho date for
the striko's ending at a day so far dis
tant that Is not worth considering at tho
present stage of this gigantic struggle.
ROUND THE REGION
John Burke and Daniol Rollly, of
Wllkesbarre, who wont on the mountain
