A merry telephone war will soon be inaugurated between the Bell and the United Telegraph and Telephone Com pany. which absorbed the Shamokin Valley, at Shamokin.

The Bell will place 'phones In residences for $1 per month, or In business houses at $2 per month, with a 'phone In the business man's residence free. The United company is pretty well established in Sha mokin but the Bell's cut in prices will undoubtedly make them formidable competitors.

Civil action against Sam Rosenthal, the clothier, who was recently closed out here, has ended, the attachments against hirii having been dissolved by the court.

Crews Transferred. Five Lehigh Valley crews which were stationed at White Haven and all Wyoming slow freight crews have been ordered to Coxton where they will be located in the future.

The five engines formerly stationed at White Haven were known as helpers. They assisted all heavy trains from White Haven to Falrview.

TO ACT WITH MINERS Mass Meeting to Be Held Hereto Ask for Exclusion of Chinese. Not only are the United Mine Workers interested in keeping the Chinese out of the country but all the other labor organizations, representing almost every trade in the anthracite coal regions are adopting resolutions praying Congress to re-enact at the next session beginning in December the Geary exclusion law.

The secret patriotic organizations are also falling into line and representing as they do a large portion of the citizenship of the country their influence can not be but of valuable assistance to the miners Two bodies, the central Labor Union whose membership comprises representatives from every union in the Hazleton region, and the District Com mittee of the P. O. S. of the central body of all the camps in this section, took action last night. The former adopted resolutions of its own and In structed the delegates present to have their bodies do likewise.

The P. O. S. of A. committee framed a re quest addressed to all the camps hereabouts to lend their fuil support to the movement.

During the latter part of the week it is expected that tine Jr. O. U. A. standing for practically the same principles, so far as immigration is con cerned, as the P.

O. S. of will adopt and forward to the congressman of this district and the two United States Senators from Pennsylvania resolu tions similar to those presented by the miners and the Sons of America. Hold Mass Meetings Says Duffy. Thomas Duffy, president of the United Mine Workers of the Seventh District said today: "The miners are not the only people interested in prevent ing the wholesale immigration of Chinese.

The public at large is as deep ly concerned, for if the Chinese are ad mitted they will flood every laboring center, reduce wages and bring about a most deplorable condition of affairs Their mode of living is so different from ours that they can work for much less than the native laborer. They do not support the land they live in, for they buy almost everything from their own country. "I have instructed all the locals In this district to adopt resolutions as suggested by President Mitchell. I am also in favor of holding public mass meetings in every town to show Con gress that the people of the coal re gion are unanimous in asking for the re-enactment of the law excluding the Chinese. We may hold a big meeting in the Opera House and have promin ent speakers there to address the as semblage on the danger attending the unrestricted immigration of the mongolians.

"The seventh district touches three counties and therefore can appeal to three Congressmen one from Luzerne, one from Carbon and the other from Schuylkill. They will receive our re solutions in due time. We are not going to wait until Congress gets together but will act at once, for we are opposing a powerful combination of in-terests that have not been idle one noment during the last few months In pushing their claims not only before Congressmen but government officials as well." The United Mine Workers throughout the country will ask their Congressmen and United States Senators to vote for the Geary law or something very much like it. Therefore the agitation will not only come from the anthracite and bituminous fields of Pennsylvania but from the mining sections oi Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Indian Territory, Virginia and West Virginia. Boards of Trade in the cities where coal mining is the chief Industry will be appealed to also and a request will be made by the miners' leaders shortly on the business men that they adopt resolutions and forward them to their respective Congressmen.

At Beaver Meadow last night Organizer Anthony Schlosser addressed a large meeting of the United Mine Workers on the danger that menaces the anthracite coal region If Congress does not pass a new Chinese exclusion act to go Into effet on May 6, 1902, when the Geary law expires. He point ed out the advisability of prompt action and his auditors were brought to a realization of the peril of a Chinese Invasion In a manner that stirred them to take Immediate steps toward influencing Congress to resist the pres. sure that will be brought to bear upon It by the railroad and transportation companies who would reap the bene fits of an Influx of minions of coolies Irom the far-off Celestial empire.

To Uh New Kind of Ties. The Pennsylvania Railroad is soon to liegin an experiment with a new kind of wood for ties. Orders have been placed, and several consignment of the material are now on the way from South America. As soon as the vessels arrive preparations will be made for placing the ties at points along the main line. The ties are of Mora wood, and come from British Guiana.

It Is claimed for them that they will last fifty years, the timber being exceedingly bard and possessing the quality of durability. The pre, ent ties last from three to ten years. The purchasing price alone for each tie of the Mora wood Is $1, and the delivery price about 1.50. The cost of the white oak ties, which the road has been using Is about 75 cents each. It la expected that the work of laying these ties win begin about the first of January.

There havs been many experiments made during the last twenty-five years to procure some material for ties that will stand the severe test from heavy and fent traffic, but thus far no successful results have been attained. About ICO.OOO.QOO Is now spent annual, ly by the railroads of the country for renewing worn out ties. It being estimated that 112.000000 new ties are needed each year. The total number of ties now In use on the railroads of tho country Is calculated at Haxle Drug 8tore has atood the tent nt time. Better take your prescription tbera.
