Schuylkill County Represen tatives Lead in Presenting Measures of Interest to the Anthracite Region. Promised legislation in the interest of the anthracite coal mioers was Intro duced in the senate and the house yes terday. Senator Thomas, of Schuylkill, pre sented a bill creating a department of mines to take the ptace of the Bureau of Mines and Mining now presided over by Chief James F. Roderick, of H&zleton, at a salary of 53.000 a year. The de partment Is to have supervision of the execution of the mining laws and the publication of the annual reports of the mine inspectors, the work now per formed by the Bureau of Mines. A chief of the department is to be ap pointed by the governor for a teim of four years at $4,000 a year and expenses. He shall have at least ten years' pratlcal experience in managing, working and ventilating mines and shall have a theoretical knowledge of all noxious and dangerous gases found in such mines. He shall have authority to Inspect all mines and collieries and give advice to mine inspectors to protect the health and promote the safety of employes. Me shall take steps to depose any mine inspector against whom charges of in competency or malfeasance in office is substantiated. The chief shall Issue certificates to mine foremen and assistants in anthra cite and bituminous, districts and certifi cates of competency to all miners who haye passed a successful examination, lie shall have power to appoint an as sistant at SI,OOO a year, two clerks at $1,400, and a messenger at S9OO. Representative Garner, of Schuylkill, introduced three bills iu the house. One , prohibits the employ raont in or about a coal mine of any person under twenty- | one years of age, for more than eight hours a day, under a penalty of sr>,ooo for each offense. The production of an affidavit made by a minor that he was beyond the age limit relieves the em ployer of responsibility. Another Garner hill changes the man ner of selecting members of the mine inspectoral examining board. It pro vides for a board of two mining engin eers and three miners, in each of the six mining districts, who shall be elect ed by the people for one year. The gov ernor is empower d to fill vacancies. At present the judges of courts appoint the ; examining boards. The other bill presented by Mr. Gar ner repeals the Losch road tax act of! 1893, which was passed to enable the I mining companies to take care of The roads in the mining section. The re pealer Is intended to enable miners to work out tbeir road tax Father and Sons Killed. Joseph Fetterolf and his sons, Joseph.

After they had been working sev eral hours the top fell and killed the father aod Joseph, Jr. Michael was uninjured and ran for assistance. Neighbors gathered and removed the earth and rock and found the two oien dad and John so badly Injured that he died soon after being taken home. Michael, the boy who escaped Injury, was taken from night school by the others on their way to the mine breach. The opening has been considered danger ous and was enclosed with a fence by the company. Notices had been pasted forbidding trespassing. Coroner George Dreher, after investi gating the mine breach accident, decid ed tbat the victims had trespassed on property of the Shamokin Coal Company and were responsible for the disaster. SI,OOO for Lattimer Monument. Refusal to Indorse a resolution calling for government ownership of mines, railroads, etc.; the voting of SI,OOO to a fund for the erection of a monument to the victims of the Lattimer riot of 1897, and an attack by National Board Mem ber Farley, of Alabama, on the veracity of "Mother Jones" in connection with a criticism she made of the position of the miners of that state on a child labor bill, were the features of yesterday's session of the national convention of United Mine Workers. Although not a voice was raised in op- { position to the sentiments therein con tained, a resolution asking for the in- j dorsement of all resolutions that may be presented favoring government owner ship was turned down by referring it j back to the committee on resolutions for further consideration. Thomas Haggerty, of Central Pennsyl vania, led in the debate that ensued. The anthracite strike and the troubles in West Virginia were used by blm and those following as a strong argument for government control of the mines. The oporators in both states were charged by Mr. Haggerty with "violation! of the law of God and the laws of xnan." Delegate Lusk, of West Virginia, as-1 serted that the money paid out by the organization since its inception for strikes and lockouts and to avert them would have been more than sufficient to purchase all the coal mines In the United States, while tbe dividends earned by the coal companies would have provided every miner In the coun- j try with his own home. The disposition of the resolution was in line with the conservative policy that has been a strong factor In winning public support and public commendation for the organization. Legislative Committees. The senate and bouse committees have been announced. In the latter there were numerous changes from the last session. Tbe members of tbe Lu zerne county delegation were appoint ed on committees as follows: Ilartman—Chairman centennial af fairs; legislative apportion atlons, Ross—Ranks; ways and means. Flanagan Judicial apportionment; centennial affairs. Ferry—Congressional apportionment; counties and townships; education. Burke—lnsurance; law and order; ap propriations; city passenger railways; congressional apportionment.. Holcomb —Judiciary general; compare bills. On the senate committees Senator Drury is made chairman of the library committee and a member of the new counties and county teats committee. May Abolish Free Delivery. Owlog to the pecuniary smalloess of farmers in tbe neighborhood of Shick shlnny the residents thereabouts may be deprlvod of the rural free delivery service. Since the establishment of the service the goverment has been paying the owners of tolls roads for the privi lege of traversing the highways. The postoffice authorities believe that free delivery Is for the benefit of these com munities and are of the opinion that such a great convenience should not be taxed. It is understood, says the Wllke9barre Record, tbat the postoffice authorities are seriously considering the advisabili ty of abolishing the service In the vicin ity of Shlckshlnny, believing tbat the action of the owners of the toll roads Is a sufficient reason for this course. There are three turnpikes adjacent to Shlckshlnny where tolls are exacted from the government. Beautiful Premium* Free!

The Lehigh Valley Railroad employes from all divisions of the system.Ji&ye been called to meet at Sayre on Sunday to discuss a number of grievances. These apply to all the branches of the service, the men say, and a committee will probably be appointed to place them before the officials of the road.
