22 To Fight Fire. Mr. Jos. Duncan, proprietor of the Eagle Iron Works, has organized his employees and furnished, them with necessary hose to protect the buildings on his property. Once a week he intends to have a practice drill so that in case fire should occur during working hours each man will have his part to perform and be able to do it without any confusion.

A practice test was made Monday of last week and the result was highly gratifying. The hose, nozzle, is stationed in the foundry office, 75 yards from the town plug. The whistle sounded the alarm, the men dropped their work, secured the hose, connected it with the plug and had a stream of water playing on the buildings in just exactly 42 seconds.

Remember what you said about Baer urine: the strike? Oh, he was a mean fellow.

He was a son of gun. But I don't think he was half as bad as the class of men I just mentioued. I have nothing bad to say about Baer or Carrol D. Wright, and I don't know that you could hire uie to say anything for them. He said lie was appointed a member of the Board of Conciliation and that while it was not what it should be, yet it was conciliation nevertheless, and the board has endeavored to settle all que? tions submitted to it.

But he has found at times that he is powerless, simply be cause the men whom he represents will not do as they had agreed to do will not follow the instructions of their officers and he has decided to put the blame where it belongs ou the men themselves. Talk about being organized workuieu Why you are not organized at all. Yuu are nothing but an unruly mob. The operators told the President before entering into the present agreement with us tnat it would be useless that we could not control our men. All violations ot this agreement ou your part have been careiully noted oy the operators and will De cnarged against you in ioob.

These may be unpleasant remarks to listen to, but they are nevertheless true, and I feel it to be my duty to go among you and teU you. We want to make better men of you want you to become law-abiding, good American citizens, so that we can meet the operators face to face and demand a fair settlement of all disputed questions. He showed the importance of an miners Decoming members ot tne organization, not for the purpose- of strik ing, but to avert a strike. I don't waut to see another strike. No man whose heart is in the right place and whose.

Drain is not diseased, wants to strike. It you all become members of this organiz-tion there is hardly a possibility of a need to strike in 1906, provided you do as we tell you, for the operators will acknowledge your power and treat with you. And I want to say right here unless you do this, and there should be another strike, I will have no part in it. Any man would be a fool who would, for he would be sure to lose. The latter part of his address was of a more pacific manner as regards the organization here.

He said the men had given the district officers no trouble, and he commended them for it. I was pleased to hear that your organization marched in a body at the funeral of you late general inside foreman, Mr. Golden. Oh that did so much good. It showed the respect you had for him, and your oganization was well spoken of everywhere.

I want you to get nearer to your employers. Be friendly to.thom. Treat them with respect, at lnaet. It will do you no harm, and may do you much good. Now if any person deyirt to ask me any questions, I will be pit used to answer them, if I can.

Petrea, after which services in the German language were held in the Lutheran and Reformed church near Berrysburg by Rev. Zimmerman, who took for his text the 22nd chapter of Proverbs and the 17th verse, and the Rev. Petrea preached from Acts 20th chapter and 32nd verse. There was a very large concourse of people in attendance at the funeral who sorrowed and sympathized with the bereaved. Interment in the Lutheran and Reformed cemetery at Berrysburg.

4S2. DISTRICT OFFICERS MESS IHINFWORKERS. Large Meeting at Gratz Grove Wednesday Evening of last Week. The Mine Workers' meeting at Gratz grove Wednesday evening of last week, brief mention of which was made in last week's issue of the Standard, was largely attended, not only by those employed in and about the mines, but also by our Imsi-mess and professional men. The platform erected for the speakers was handsomely trimmed with the national colors and Old Glory hung in graceful foldftf rom overhead.

The Independent Cornet Band of Wiconisco, which escorted the local Union from their hall to the grove, furnished choice music after each of the addresses. Dennis Cavanaugh presidea at the meeting, and after a selection by the band introduced the first speaker of the evening, our townsman A. F. Thompson, Kscj.r who said that he had been called upon by the committee a few evenings before the meeting and asked if he would make an address upon this occasion. He told them that he was always glad to render them any service possible, when the committee expressed their gratitude by saying that some other time when they couldn't get any one else to address them they would call on him again He said the organization of the United Mine Workers of America was the greatest labor organization in existence or that had ever existed and attributed it to the wise counsel, superior judgment and keen discernment of its national and district officers.

He said it is right for men to organize for their own protection, and hoped that all would become members of the organization, for in union there is strength and if they stand firmly together they can accomplish much, but if they are divided they must fall. The price of coal, he said, is always too high considering the low wage paid to the miner who digs it. He never complains at an advance iu the price of coal if thereby the men are benefited, but its always the other fellow that gets the biggest share. I say you should get more yet. After another selection by the band, the chairman introduced Miles Dougherty, National Organizer.

Mr. Dougherty said that about four years ago he addressed an audience under the shade of these same trees, but under different circumstances. He spoke about the organization of the Mine Workers here how but ico members could be mustered at first, but when the strike was ordered over 800 members were enrolled on the Local's books. He said that on the occasion of his previous address in this grove, when he advised every man employed at the colliery to stay at home on the following Monday morning, he was censured by some of our citizens, but he is certain everybody has been benefitted by the strike the merchant as well as the miner. He also spoke of the benefits secured through labor legislation taking the children out of the mines and breakers and sending them to school, where they belong.

He said the object of this meeting, which was the first of a series to be held in this district, was to more thoroughly organize the miners. A great many since the last strike have fallen away from the organization, through neglect or otherwise, and unless they present a solid front at the expiration of the present agreement in 1906, they will lose all the benefits secured through the late memorable struggle. He advised those who dropped out of the organization to return to the fold again, and induce others to do likewise. If you know a man who was "dirty" during the strike.be friendly with him, and wash him and make him clean by getting him to join the United Mine Workers of America. He said that while there has not been much of a falling off in the membership here, yet there are some, and he sincerely hoped for their own good, they would all go back again.

He spoke of the deplorable state of affairs in the Cripple Creek district iu Colorado. The Legislature enacted a law saying that eight hours shall constitute a day's work. The Governor, owned soul and body by the mine operators, declared the law unconstitutional, and vetoed it. Men were regularly elected' to the next legislature who amended the constitution so as to make the act legal, and then the mine owners, ensconced behind the power of the Governor, refused to abide by the law and the only honorable recourse the men had was to strike. He also pointed out the pitiable condition of the miners in Virginia, where they refused to become organized when the national body sent men into that district for that purpose.

And unless the men in the anthracite region become more thoroughly orgauized they will ere long be at the mercy of the operators. He related a sad scene witnessed by him on the train a few days ago while returning from New York City. A girl of tender years with the pallor of death upon her brow was being sent by some humane society out into the country with the hope of prolonging her life. Inquiry elicited the information that the poor child had been employed in a silk mill, and her system was poisoned by the chemicals employed in the dyeing process. Men, we are organized for the purpose of securing sufficient wages to make it unnecessary for us to take our little ones away from their studies and put them to work.

Now I hope you will all stick to Union. I have no fault to find with you you've been pretty good boys here, aud as there are other speakers to follow me I thank you kindly for your attention. Another selection by the band was followed by an address by Paul Pulaski, who spoke to his countrymen in the Polish language, his remarks being somewhat similar to those made by Mr. Dougherty. The principal speaker of the evening was John Fahey, District President, who made the closing address.

He is a man of fine personal appearance and at once attracted the attention of the audience and held it to the end. He said he bad intended making an address but since listening to those who preceded him he scarcely knew what to say, as they had pretty thoroughly covered the ground. He presently warmed up to the subject however, and gave the Mine Workers in general a reprimanding for their behavior since the settlement of the strike and the award of the Commission, whereby from Sheafer's hall, Wiconisco, to the Israel building, corner Main and Mar ket streets, this place.
