Union Officers Decide Upon a Series of Mass Meetings in the Region—Several Dis- turbances Are Reported, The loaders of the mine workers are preparing to hold a series of mass meet ings, the object of which will be to keep tho strikers firm. The Intention Is to have President Mitchell address those meetings and givo advice and encour agement to tho miners. The mass meetings well be held throughout tho region and It Is expected that thoy will keep tho officers of tho union busy during the remainder of tho struggle. President Mitchell will make a trip through tho Schuylkill and Lehigh regions the latter end of tho week, lie will first go to Schuylkill county, whore he has promised to deliver at least two addresses. A committee from tho Schuylkill minors waited on Mr. Mitch ell three weeks ago and asked him to deliver an address. Ho oxpects to be absent three or four days and will visit tho Lehigh region before his return. Addresses will be delivered in tho prin cipal towns of this section, but it Is not yet known if ho will speak In Freeland. Reports received from tho secretaries of many of tho locals, and thoy report that they found no dissatisfaction In distributing tho reliof fund. The aid given was not as large as some expect ed, but that was duo to tho fact that only one contribution had boon received, and that was for a limited sum. Most of tho strikers understood that and they had no complaint to make. Tho report that sorno strikers who wero well to do wore finding fault be cause they wero not placed in the saute class as somo of their brethren who wero not so well off in this world's goods finds no credence at strike headquart ers. National Board Member John Fallon said: "Tho reports are being circulat ed by agents of the coal companies, who think if they can create dissension among tho strikers thoy will be able to break up tho strike." National Board Member P. G. Galla gher stated today that recent advices from Indianapolis show that tho reliof fund will bo the largest over raised for strike purposes and will within a short whilo bo amplo to provide for overy miner on strike and for those depending on tho strikors. Tho money roceived last week was for those who wero in actual need. Hereafter ail strikers will share in tho distribution. The Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company is making tho most determined offort to break tho ranks of tho striking minora that has yot boen done by any coal company since tho strike began. All this woolc the company has had emissaries circulating among men of Lansford, Summit Hill and Coaldalo, and it is said that fabulous offers are being made to tho men to induce them to man the breakers. Tho miners are unceasingly at work, visiting and strengthening thoso of their brethren whom they think might perhaps bo weak. Seven striking miners from Nanticoke wero arraigned at Wllkesbarro before Alderman Brown, charged with com mitting an assault on William Young, an engineer employed by tho Susque hanna Coal Company. Tho men gave ball to appear at court. At Duryea yosterday a crowd of inon came down from Scranton to work at the Wanke washory. Thoy wero at oncn surrounded by a crowd. The pro prietor appealed to the sheriff, who sent four deputies to the scene, but when they arrived tho crowd had dispersed. On tho chargo of rioting and assault and battery, forty-seven Lansford mon were held last night under S2OO bail each for their appearance at court. These men are accused of being in the crowd who attempted to march William Eagle, of Ilauto, Saturday night. MKKCIIANTB CALL UPON MITCHELL. The distribution of tho relief fund, the Wllkesbarro Record said yesterday, continues to bo tho absorbing topic of Interest about the Wllkesbarro head quarters of tho mine workers. A com mittee from the Retail Merchants' As sociation waited on Prosidont Mitchell In regard to the matter. Tho object of the committee's visit was to present a plan of distribution by which all tho merchants will receive their share of whatever money Is distributed. The committee informed Mr. Mitchell that the retail merchants believed that FREELAND, PA., WEDNESDAY, JULY 30, 1902. thoy were entitled to some consideration in the expenditure of the funds roceived to assist the strikers. They stated that many of the retail merchants have been keoplng the strikers supplied with the neeessarles of life since the inaugura tion of the strike and havo not received a cont. They, therefore, believed that a system of orders should bo adopted by which It will be possible for each striker to go to his own grocer for whatever he desires. Mr. Mitchell listened to what the retail merchants had to say and promised to give their plan careful con sideration. lie Informed them that the $50,000 sent Into the district last week had been expondod and that no more money is ex pected until about August 15. The plan is to glvo assistance to only those who are In need. Thoso who have property or money in bank are not ex pected to ask for assistance until their credit is exhausted. This is expected of them in order to assist the union to win the strike. Should overy striker apply the money already received would be sufficient to givo each striker only about 50 cents. The statement attributed to Mr. Mitchell In his conference with the merchants, that no more reliof funds will arrivo until August 15, applies only to tho money coming from the official assessment 011 soft coal workers. Tho voluntary contributions of labor unions and individuals will continue to be dis tributed as soon as received. MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. The Workers' Alliance, an organiz ation composed of miners and business men whoso sympathies are with the strikers, has been formed at Ilazloton. Tho object Is to olTset tho organization of the Citizens' Allianco. The promot ers assort that tho new organization will stand for law and order and will punish all oiTondors alike. The senation of yesterday was the arrest of J. F. Mullahy, of Wllkosbarre, secretary-treasurer of tho Stationary Firemen's Association, charged with libel in posting a list of firemen under tho head of unfair workmen. There wero twenty-two counts against him, and Magistrate Pollock demanded $12,- 500 bail, which was fnrnishod. Eviction suits have boon instltutvd by tho Lehigh Coal and Navigation Com pany against nine of its tenants at Lans ford. Tho Young Men's Catholic Bene ficial and Literary Socioty, owners of the Lansford opera houso, has offered free use of the structure to those tenants to be evicted. Drifton bollor-houso is said to be getting short of coal, and it Is alleged that tho breaker will bo run for a day or two in tho near future to roplenish tho supply. Thore are several loaded cars in the mines since before the strike. A company of forty uniformed guards arrived over tho Lehigh Valley Rail road at Drifton at 1 o'clock yesterday morning and marched about the com pany's property. Withdrew the Bid. The llendler Construction Company has withdrawn its bid for tho erection of tho new courthouse. When tho com pany sent in its bid to complete the structure at a cost of $51)7,000, it agreed to use a stone which differed from the Ohio river stone, which tho bid of com missioners, in awarding the contract, insisted should be used. Before signing tho contract Mr. Llendler, as manager of tho company, sent again to the quar ries .for prices for tho stono and received the reply. The price is such as to bo absolutely prohibitory and he has there fore withdrawn his bid. VVilson J. Smith is the next lowest bid der, but his price Is $85,000 higher than that of Hendlor and it is considered very unlikely that tho court would confirm tho contract, if tho work should bo let to him. In all probability new bids will have to bo advertised for and this will throw tho work so late in the fall that but little will be done this year. It is said that the Ohio river stone quarries are owned by a brother of Architect J. Osterling, who made tho plans for the courthouse, and an inves tigation is being made by tho Taxpayers' Association. Ready to Go to Jail. Patrick Carey, of VVost Chestnut street, ouo of tho men upon whom a summons was served last week on tho charge of taking coal from No. 4 strip ping, Upper Lehigh, was given a hear ing yesterday afternoon boforo Alder man Iloidenrich, llazleton. The de fendant was fined $5 and costs. Mr. Carey says that if tho alderman or his ollicets can find $5 in his clothes thoy can havo it. Tho man is a cripple and is dependant upon the money earned by his young children In the factories. If the majesty of tho law must be upheld, ho Is ready to go to jail and serve wbatevor sontonco Is passed upon hluj.
