Has Promised to Come Here Next Week to Investigate Dissatisfaction Arbitra tion at Jeddo. After a meeting with other district officers of the Mine Workers at Wilkes sbarre yesterday, District President Nicholls had a long talk over the tele phone with President Mitchell, at In dianapolis, and told him of the dissatis faction among the men, asking him to come to Wilkesbarre. Mr. Mitchell promised to come to the anthracite re gion as soon as he could. All this week he will be busy in Indianapolis, but he hopes to bo able to get here next week. The district officials are perturbed by the ill-feeling among the men and the failure of some of the younger workers to obey the decisions of the Strike Com mission relative to submitting their com plaint to the companies. The chief difficulty is over the inter pretation of the nine-hour day clause. Driver boys' time is counted from the time they are ready to work with their mules. It takes half an hour to harness and unharness the animals and the boys thus say they work nine and a half hours. They want the time reduced to nine hours. Tho efforts of some companies to in crease the output by paying the men for working an extra hour have made the miners suspicious that the compan ies desire to accumulate a large stock and they are refusing to work more than the nine hours. On Saturday, too, large numbers of them refused to work more than the seven or eight hours they have been accustomed to work on Sat urdays. The operators insist that the men work the full nine hours, and de clare their refusal to do so is a violation of their pledge to obey tho lindings of the commission. The liremeu oppose the plan to fill the three shifts required with tho same number of men now working, instead of increasing the force 50 per cent It is also seuii-oQicially announced that President Mitchell will advise the officers of the three districts in the selec tion of the board of conciliation suggest ed by the commission. In the Schuylkill region thero is great dissatisfaction over the order that the Reading collieries shall work nine hours on Saturday, instead of eight hours, as heretofore. Largely attended meetings of the United Mine Workers were held all over that region yesterday and it was decided to insist that the companies shall not cut off any time-honored priv ileges because the commission has granted the men other concessions. ARBITRATION AT JEDDO. The demand of the drivers of Markle & Co. that they bo paid extra if re quired to work longer than nine hours per day has been refused by Superin tendent Sidney Williams, of the Jeddo firm. Tho drivers have also been noti fied that the custom heretofore prevail ing must be continued, which means that the mules shall he harnessed and ready for work at 7 a. in. and that the drivers shall work without a specified noon-hour. The system appears to be at variance with the intent of the Strike Commis sion's award, as it requires the drivers MISCELLANEOUS ADVERTISEMENTS. OK AUGUSTUS DONOP, lute ol Jjj Freeland. deceased.

The demand was presented Friday evening and the answer of the superin tendent was received Saturday evening. At a meeting held at Jeddo yesterday afternoon the matter was considered by the drivers and it was decided to ask for arbitration on the subject, as suggested by the superintendent. In the mean time, work under the old system will be continued. Confirmed Yesterday. At St. Luke's Lutheran church yes terday a class consisting of the follow ing persons was confirmed: Minnie A.

In addition to those named above, the list of directors contains the names of of James Mcllugh, Peter Timouy aud Charles Dusheck. John M. Carr, Esq , was re-elected solicitor. Notwithstanding the fact that consid erable business was lost during the past year on account of the seven months'strike of the miners, the finan cial statements showed that the com pany is in a prosperous condition and that the interests of the stockholders are being well cared for by the manage ment. The Boxing Contests. The followers of pugilism did not turn out in large numbers on Friday night to see the Jeffries-Fitzsiinmons combin ation. The upper portions of the house were fairly well filled, but the lower section was not in keeping with the reputation of the town as a sporting centre. Previous to the appearance of the two stars on the stage, thnro were four preliminary bouts of four rounds each. The contestants were principally Pittsburg boxers and among them were some very clever men. Those who expected to see a prize fight on the stage were naturally disap pointed, as the exhibitions were purely scientific contests and were satisfactory to the majority of those in attendance.

Tamaqua's crack team came to town Saturday evening and had their colors lowered by the Crescents to the tune of 16 to 7. At no time during the play were the visitors in it, in comparision with the locals, notwithstanding the fact of au overwhelming advantage in weight and the presence on the team of Captain Swaving, of Pottsville, one of the best individual players that has ever appeared here. The locals started early to entertain their opponents and byway of introduc tion Captain O'Donnell landed the first basket. Tamaqua then succeeded In shooting and for the remainder of the half could do nothing. At this point Referee Cope warned the players against fouling. Aces were made by O'Donnell, Jacquot and Nowak, and two free throws allowed the Free land team were failures. The score at the end of the half was: Crescents, 8; Tamaqua, 2. When the second half opened the visitors settled down to win. With that determination there began a memor able contest which was marked by rapid playing by both teams, and as a result fouls were committed by both. Tama qua led off in this half with the first ace, but was quickly followed with one by the Crescents. The visitors were allowed three free throws, but scored only one. The locals were given two free throws and landed both. Tamaqua then scored a basket and the locals went them one better and lauded two, one by O'Donnell and another by Jacquot. The one thrown by the latter was o,f a sensational order and members of the visiting team were the first to shake his hand and compli ment the feat. The half resulted Bto 5 in the locals' favor. The final score was: Crescents, 16; Tamaqua, 7. The line-up was: Crescents. Positions. Tamaqua.
