UNIONS HONOR
LABOR S HOLIDAY
Organized Workingmen Are
Celebrating Today.
Miners and Other Trade
Unionists Parade This
Morning and Will Hold
Picnic This Afternoon.
The organized workingmen of Free
land and vicinity, under the auspices of
the Central Labor Union, are today
celebrating In a befitting manner the one
day of the year which the law of the state
has decreed shall be theirs to enjoy. No
other town of Pennsylvania, population
ar.d circumstances considered, it may be
safely said will excell Freeland in pay
ing homage to the Labor Day of 1902
The workingmen of the town and sur
rounding villages are gathered here as
never before and the day's outing
promises to be one that will be long
remembered.
The exercises began this morning with
a parade, followed by addresses at the
Public park. The afternoon ami even
ing will also bo spent by the working
men and their families at the. park,
where the Central Labor Union is con
ducting a picnic.
The change in the hour of parade was
decided upon Friday evening and was
made necessary by the scarcity of speak
•r*. Had the original hour chosen been
id bored to it would have been necessary
to dispense with the speeches, so great
is the demand today throughout the
state for men to address the toilers who
are celebrating in every city and town.
Those who spoke here this morning will
also speak at Hazleton this afternoon.
Early in the morning the town began
to take on a holiday appearance, (lags
and bunting being displayed at a major
ity of the business places on Centra
street. At 9 o'clock the locals from the
outside towns began to come in and
were promptly assigned to their posi
tions in the lino by Marshal John F.
Boyle and his aids, Edward Doggett and
Charles Jacquot.
Ideal weather greatod tho paraders
aud induced many who were not in
clined to participate to join in with their
unions and inarch to town and over tho
route. Sevural of those who were in
line came quite a distance and showed
tho effects of their long walk under a
warm sun.
The parade began to move at 10
o'clock in the order given in tho pro
gram published last week. Tho Citi
zens' band led the procession, followed
by the miners' unions of llazio Brook,
Eckley, Highland, Sandy llun, Jcddo,
Drifton, Upper Lehigh, South Heberton
and Freeland. with the engineers, fire
men and pumpmen comprising Local
1939, also of town, bringing up tho rear.
In addition to the band live drum corps
furnished music for tho marchers.
Tho members of United Brewery
Workers' Union, of town, rode in a
prettily-decorated wagon with a tapped
keg of their product displayed.
When the head of the parado readied
Carbon and Washington streets tho rear
of the line was at South and Ridge, the
paraders covering twelve long squares
and numbering over 2,800 men and boys.
Banners demanding arbitration and
asking that tho boys bo sent to schools,
instead of the breakers, were carried by
.leddo local.
The speakers' carriages, in tho fore
part of the parade, were filled by D. J.
.McCarthy, Esq., Matthew Long, Nation
al Board Member P. G. Gallagher, Dis
trict Secretary John 1\ Gallagher, Dis
trict Board Member W. A. Dettrey aud
District Vice President Andrew Mattl.
The speakers were proparing to de
liver their addresses when the Tribune
went to press.
The People's Alliance.
The call issued by Burgess John F.
Boyle for a meeting of the business
people and other citizens for the purpose
of forming a branch of the People's Al
liance was responded to by a large num
ber on Friday evening. The Municipal
hall was well filled with persons interest
ed in the settlement of tho strike when
the burgess called the meeting to order.
The gathering organized by electing
Mr. Boyle to continue as chairman, and
then listened to a lengthy address by
Councilman Matthew Long, of llazletou,
who gave a lucid explanation of the
object of the People's Alliance. Tho
speaker demonstrated tho necessity at
this particular time for an organization
of tiiis character, one that has for its
purpose the settlement of the strike,
ami gave conclusive evidence that in

joining the alliance no man need foar
that ho is affiliating himself with a poli
tical movement or spite society.
The People's Alliance, the speaker
said, was founded on such broad Chris
tian principles that every honest Ameri
can can boldly uphold theui without
foar of criticism from any quarter, lie
said that the time has come when those
who are suffering from the effects of the
war between capital and labor must
courageously confie forward and make a
determined effort to bring about a return
of the peaco and harmony that prevail
ed In the anthracite region prior to the
inauguration of the strike.
Mr. Long discoursed at sorao length
on the questions at issue between the
operators and their miners, and backed
up his claims that the public Is justified
in interfering with extracts frAm recent
speeches and interviews tendered by
President Roosevelt, Senator lianna and
other prominent men. He gave some
interesting personal experience in deal
ing with coal operators and also dwelt
on tho necessity for purer politics iu the
s'ate and county.
The address, which consumed nearly
two hours, was well received, and was
followed by the election of E. J. Curry
as secretary of tho Freeland branch.
D. J. McCarty, Esq , of Hazleton,
spoke also on tho object of the alliance
and the good that can be accomplished
by concerted action on the part of the
business people and public-spirited citi
zens who give their approval and sup
port to Its principles.
The appointment of delegates to the
general convention of the People's Alli
ance was postponed until tomorrow
evening, when another meeting will be
held and at which the membership is
expected to be largely increased. Invi
tations are being sent to all the business
and professional men of town to attend
tomorrow evening's meeting.
A convention of all the branches of
tho People's Alliance, Boards of Trade,
and all other business organizations of
the cities aud towns of this and other
states affected by the strike will bo held
at Hazleton on Thursday next.
Runaway Horse Killed.
While Dr. George Wentz, of Drifton,
was making a purchase in a South
Centre street store Saturday evening he
left his bay horse attached to a light
runabout stand. The animal became
frightened in some manner and started
at a mad pace for his stable at Drifton.
It went at a furious gait and everything
remained intact until within about
twenty-five yards of the railroad cross
ing below the Woodside school house.
There tho animal dashed against a
horse and buckboard coming to town,
driven by J. Zakutney, of Luzerne and
Centre streets.
The runaway horse struck Zakuttiey's
outfit with such force that it released
the horse from the buckboard. tho shaft
of which pierced tho runaway horse
through the breast, throwing it to the
ground and killing it instantly.
Zakutney'* horse on being released
ran to town, but was captured without
doing any damage. The spot where
the accident occurred was very dark
and tho crash came so unexpectedly
that Zakutney did not know for some
time what became of bis horse. Be
yond the breaking of the shafts on both
vehicles no further damage was done.
S2OO Reward Offered.
A new organization, known as the
Civic League of Luzerne County, has
been formed and lias placed in another
column of the Tribune an important
notice to voters of both parties. Tho
organization is non-partisan and offers a
reward of S2OO for all successful prose
cutions of offenses against the primary
election laws.
The organization has a charter mem
bership of over forty citizens of Wllkes
barre, including both Democrats and
Republicans. Following is a list of the
officers: President, 11. 11. Welles, Jr.;
vice president, George It. Bedford; sec
retary-treasurer, It. Nelson Bennett;

It. Milliard, S. J Strauss, Ashor Mirier,
J. C. Bridgraan, F. M. Chase, Thomas
11. Atberton, G. M. Reynolds.
The Seventeenth Week.
The seventeenth week of tho coal
strike began today and finds no percep
tible change on either side. The only
important development of tho past two
days is the circulation of a rumor that
Governor Stone is considering the ad
visability of calling an extra session of
the legislature, for the purpose of having
tho assembly pass a compulsory arbitra
tion act which he has had prepared
to meet the exigencies of the occasion.
It is reported at Harrisburg that the
extra session will bo called unless tho
striko soon comes to an end.
Fire This Morning.
Fire broke out in Dr. H. M. Nealo's
office in the P. (). S. of A. building at 11
a. in. today. Tho blaze bad gained con
siderable headway when discovered, but
was extinguished before the firemen ar
rived. Two desks, two sides of the
room and a medicine chest were badly
damaged by the llames.
Caril of Thankx.
We desire to extend our sincere thanks
to the friends and neighbors of our
father, the late James Wilson, for the
kindness and courtesies accorded us
during our recent bereavement.

a veteran of the Civil war, died when
within half a mile of the home. Ruch,
who was 70 years of ago, lived alone,
but recently became so ill that he could

he might never be taken there alive was
gratifiod.

tor of the Nash hotel and one of Scran
ton's prominent citizens, sent two bul
lets Into his body iu the Jermyn hotel.

received Order No. 385 drawn in favor
of a former teacher for four days' pay,

gate and roport at tho next meeting.
The Flag Problem
The objections filed by the National
Slavonic Society, against the free entry
of tho costly Hungarian flag which ar
rived at New York yesterday as a gift to
Hungarians in the United States, has
received the attention of tho government
of Austria-Hungary, and may develop
into a international episode. Every
Hungarian consul in tho United States
has been notified to watch proceedings
closely and to cable his government
freely concerning anything that might
lend to produce unpleasantness between
the United States and Austria-Hungary.
The Aiistro-llungarian government pro
poses to go further and will probably
attempt to prosecute tho loaders of the
National Slavonic Society and ask for
their extradition if sufficient legal evi
dence can be accumulated.
The Slovak leaders are defiant and
express no fear of results. They take
the ground that tho decision of the
treasury department iu Washington not
to admit the flag which has made all
tho trouble duty froo is an official recog
nition by this government of the justice
of their position.
Racial hatred which has endured for
centuries between Slovaks aud Magyars
is said to he responsible fur what has
already occurred.
A communication on the above
subject was received today, too late for
this issue. It will appear VYuduesday.
