BREWERY MEN
GO ON STRIKE
Employes of Three Plants
Have Ceased Work.
National Union Calls Out Its
Members at Freeland, Ta
maqua and Mahanoy City
Until New Scale Is Signed.
The employes of the Freeland Brew
ing Company wont on strike Saturday
morning, and up to the present time
there seems to be no prospects of ami
cably adjusting the differences between
the men and the company. The em
ployes of Kaier's brewery, Mahanoy
City, and McGinty's brewery, Tamaqua.
went on strike at the same time, and
work at the three plants has been prac
tically suspended for the present.
It was expected that the employes of
other breweries in the region would
strike this morning, but reports from
Tlazleton and Schuylkill county this
afternoon state that the other plants
concerned In the trouble are still work
ing.
The strike Is the outcome of the re
fusal on the part of the firms and com
panies comprising the Anthracite Brew
ers' Association to sign the wage scale
and regulations submitted to them on
January 1 last by their employes, who
are members of the International Union
of United Brewery Workmen.
The strikers claim that this scale has
been in the hands of the brewery pro
prietors for three months and that ample
time had been given for its considera
tion. The national officers of the union
notified the men here that they will not
permit them to work any longer until an
agreement has been made, and the de
cision to strike was reached at a meet
ing held Friday evening.
The Anthracite Brewers' Association,
composed of representatives of Schuylkill
county breweries and the Freeland and
Hazleton companies, offered last week to
submit the matter to arbitration, but tho
representatives of the employes' union
contend that the time for arbitration
has passed and refuse to deal further
with the owners until tho scale is signed.
Four of the breweries within the terri
tory affected have conceded the demands
of their employes and signed the scale.
They are: Retig, of Pottsville, atid the
breweries at Tremont, Lykens and
Minersvillo. Eleven have refused, as
follows: Home Brewing Company, Col
umbia Brewing Company, C. D. Kaier
Company, Limited, John F. McGlnty,
Anthracite Brewing Company, D. G.
Yuengling & Son, John Arnold branch
of Pa tin'a Central Company, Hazle Brew
ing Company, Freeland Brewing Com
pany, Fushmauu SL Schmidt and L.
Schmidt Estate.
So far no strike has been ordered at
any of the plants, except those located
at Freeland, Mahanoy City and Tama
qua. The union officials are reticent
when questioned why the other brewer
ies were uot tied up, but they intimate
that the struggle will become general
and its effects far-reaching unless a
settlement is made in the near future.

day and emphatically denied the pub
lished statement that the union has re
fused to accept a member of the United
Mine Workers on the board of arbitra
tion proposed by the brewers. He said
the union is opposed to arbitration to
settle the differences, as the brewers
have had three months to consider the
matter and make counter propositions,
and they refused to act until they
found that a strike was coming. Now
they want arbitration, he said, but have
asked for it too late, as the national
union has issued its ultimatum and the

Score Was 31 to 7.
Saturday evening's game of basket
ball between the Crescents and Maha
noy City resulted in a complete walk
over for the locals by a score of 31 to 7.
The visitors appeared capable of putting
up a good game, but the locals played
at their bost throughout and had no
trouble scoring. When the visitors had
the ball iu their possession they could
not keep it and a Crescent was on hand
to receive It and by good passing and
the fastest kind of playing invariably
shot for a basket.
During the first half both teams
played cautiously and the locals sized
up the ability of the visitors and cut
loose to score as often as they could.
The result of the half was: Crescents,
12; Mahanoy City, 5.
After a short rest the game was re
sumed and the Crescents gave an excel
lent exhibition of how basket ball is
played in Freeland. The half was the
fastest ever played in town. It was one
sided and the visitors could not prevent
the locals from scoring and to score
thomselves was out of the question.
The score for the half was: Crescents,
19; Mahanoy City, 2. The final score
was: Crescents, 31; Mahanoy City, 7.
The line-up follows:
Crescents. Positious. Mubauoy City.

agers, William Delauey and Joseph P.

house. The opportunity of witnessing
the greatest men that the prize ring has

nity will not occur, as both Jeff and Fitz
