Company Is Able to Partially Operate Only One Colliery. Rumors of Another Settle ment Proposition. On the surface there Is no perceptible change In the strike at Coxe Bros. & Co.'s collieries, but there are rumors afloat that the corporation has under consideration another settlement propo sition which It will soon present to the strikers. These rumors cannot be veri fied, however, but they come from the company's side and bear some marks of reliability. The strikers are conducting them selves in a most creditable manner. The men who are working at Drlfton, where Coxe Bros. &, Co. have concen trated their entire force of non-union employes, are not molested In any way, the strikers even refusing to stoop to ask thein to join their rank 9. The relief committees of the locals composed of Coxe's strikers have had their allotments of relief money trebled and many of the families of the strikers are faring better today than they ever did while working for the Drlfton cor poration. Return to work under exist ing conditions is not thought of. On the part of the operators, Drlfton Is the only place whore an effort has been made to resume. There men have been gathered from Eckley, Beaver Meadow, Oneida and the other towus controlled by the Coxes, and as a result of the combined work of the non-union ists and office-workers a train of coal varying from seven to eleven cars Is dally shipped from Drlfton breaker. This pitiable showing is the best that can be done, notwithstanding the fact that soveral thousands of tons are lying cut in strikers' breasts, from which the non-unlonlsts are loading. It is conceded by those In a position to know that the quantity of coal sent to market by Coxe Bro9. & Co. is not sufficient to pay the expense of running Drlfton colliery. However, as those In charge are known to be more stubborn than sensible, and since they do not pay the losses, there is not much hope of a change until the stockholders como to their senses and reallzo how their valu able property is being wrecked. The Commission's Work. President Mitchell, tho first witness for the miners, who was on tho stand Friday and Saturday, was again In the witness box today before the Anthracite Coal Strike Commission. So far the attorney of only one company, David Wilcox, of tho Delaware and Hudson, has cross-examined him. Wayne Mac- Veagh, who Is representing the Penn sylvania Coal Company and the Hillside Coal and Iron Company, Is still engaged in carrying on his examination. It is not definitely known how many of tho other companies desire to have their attorneys question the miners' president. It is probable the witnesses for the mino workers will take up all of the week in giving their testimony. Next to Mr. Mitchell, the most important witness for the miners will probably be Thomas D. Nicholls, president of Dis trict No. 1. Tho commissioners have not decided upon any future arrangements. It Is likely that the entire case of the miners, which is now being presented to them, will be heard In JScranton, and It de pends largely upon the wishes of the coal companies where the commission will hear the operators' side of the questions at Issue. The commissioners are satisfied to hear both sides in Scran ton. Buried Saturday Afternoon. The funeral of the late Owen Fowler took place from the family residence on North Centre street Saturday afternoon. Previous to the religious services, which were conducted by Rev. F. Marshal, of MISCELLANEOUS ADVERTISEMENTS. T AST ATE OF ANNIE MARTISZUS, late of I'j Freeland borough, deceased.

Met Defeat at Hazleton. The first foot ball game this season between Hazleton and Freeland clubs was played at Ilazlo park Saturday afternoon and resulted In a defeat for the local team, the Crescents failing to score, while their opponents made 12 points. The game was warmly contested and was interesting from the beginning to the end. Both clubs gave exhibitions of scientific playing, but the Hazleton eleven was somewhat heavier and did better team work, and to this is at tributed tho defeat of the Freeland boy 9. The line-up was as follows: Hazleton. 'Positions. Crescents. P. Fallou Left end Fultz Turner Left tackle Cope Mhoridan Loft guard..(Keller) Yannes (Winters) J. Fallon Centre Gallagher Powell Right guard Baskin Highums Right tackle Hartinan Gordon Right end Coll Cannon Quarter-back Powell Koerber.. * Left half-back DeJohn Darnhart Right half-back Hindson Brady Full-back Stolz Touchdowns—Koorber, 2.

During their raco up Centre street with Smith's double team the tongue of the carriage broke and the vehicle was badly damaged otherwise. When placed under arrest Smith acted very unruly and soveral bystanders as sisted Policemen Welsh In taking him to jail. The prisoners were given a hear ing this morning and were released upon payment of the $5 fine imposed. Smith wa9 afterward arrested on a warrant sworn out before Squire Shov lin, in which he Is charged by Police men Welsh with threatening to kill the officer. He was held In SI,OOO ball for court. Few Go to High School. Statistics gathered by the United Mine Workers from the Schuylhlll region for presentation to the arbitration commis sion show that only 4 per cent of the graduates of the county high schools are sons of miners. The wage rate shows on an average of $385 per year for the mine workers, the wages of laborers being included with the miners in the calculation. ' • A strong protest will be made on bo half of the Schuylkill miners to the com missioners against the acceptance of the proposition of tho Reading Company to base the rate of wages on the price of coal. This was the system In vogue there before the strike of 1900, and to return to It would bo very unsatisfactory to tho miners. Was Warmly Received.
