was great interest today among
capitol employes in the result of the pri
mary. While the Interest vis greatest
beforehand in the presidential situation.
th returns this morning were ample
to satisfy in this respect. The personnel
of the republican nominees for slate of
fices was the main topic today. Espe
cially was this true with employes In the
office of land commissioner and auditor
In which there Is certain to be a change
in the head as the present incumbents
are not candidates for re-election. Natu
rally, these employes who desire to hold
over, would like to know who the party
candidate Is. Neither th returns In the
morning papers nor those which came In
during the day shed any light which was
satisfying on thia question. Some of
the officials who went home to vote ar
rived back at the capitol In the morning
and others In the afternoon. The pri
mary was so absorbing that little busi
ness was attempted and In fact there
were few who came to the capitol on
usine&a bent.

Monday has been set for the hearing
on the physical valuation of the Burling

that slate and the company on this point
are great and considerable testimony It
likely to be taken.

The town of Eustla has filed complaint
against the Burlington road and asks
the railway commission tor relief. The
complaint sets out thst the branch
on which tha town Is located has Inade
quate service and that It requires from
a week to ten days to get freight from
Missouri river points and five days to
get It from points on the same line.
Freight trains, they allege, are run Irreg
ularly and no one knows when to expect
them. They ask for relief from the com.
miHslon. The company will be given time
to reply and then a date set for a hear
ing. In digging up the roadway on the west
front of the capitol building 'for the
foundation of the Lincoln monument it
developed that the roadway Is not only
macadamised, but that the broken stone
extenda down to depth of about three
feet. The most of this stone Is In larg?
pieces and there lias been considerable
speculation how It cams to be there.
On of the old-timers reports thst this
stone is out of tha ofd capitol building
and when that elruoture was torn down
to make room for the present one It was
also decided to grada up the grounds sur
rounding the capitol. The stons from the

to set rid of it and partly to help fill up.

for building purposes.

Fred Fratnouer of Bprague, Lancaster
county, was found dead thla morning
back of his house, banging by a rope.
He had undoubtedly committed suicide.
Neighbors have noted for several days
that he was acting strangely and he had
told several parties that neighbors were
"after" him. fo far as they know there
was no truth In the belief he entertained,
lie had not been seen since early the day
before and it is not known when he
bung himself. He hud carefully packed
his personal belongings and left his
pocketbook on th sill of the barn. Ho

both dead and the only surviving rela

Sprague.
John Rothmann. a hired man on the
farm of Arthur Dlenert, near this city,

The first organized strike in the anthra
cite coal fields of Pennsylvania occurred
just sixty-three yesrs ag.. Before that
time there had been unnumbered differ
ences between miners abJ operators, re
sulting In local suspensions of work, but
of these no record ha been kept; and
the Schuylkill county strike of ISO stands
out as the opening bsttle of a long-drawn-out
warfare which has kept the hardcoal
reglona In a stute of unrest ever since
then, barring the last ten ear.
There were occasional years between
IbO and ISO! when quiet prevailed for
the most part throughout the region, but
as a general thing disputes, threats and
strikes occurred in one locality or an
other. How many hundreds or thousands of
such strikes took place will never be
known, for until comparatively recent
times no adequate data has been pre
served. The bureau of mines now sup
plies Information of stiikes since the
time when It was organised; the coal
companies have data, scattered through
their voluminous records; the weekly and
daily newspapers published In the an
thracite fields have preserved in their
files such brief references to labor trou
bles as they have been In the habit of
printing. But it was I ft for a clergy
man, tha Rev. Peter Roberts of Mahanoy
City, in the lower anthracite fields, to
mske exhaustive research and to collate
as fully as possible a record of strikes,
which were published years ago In an
elaborate treatise entitled, "The Anthra
cite Coal Industry." This book Is out of
print.
It Is Interesting to note, In the strike
of is, the first recorded conflict between
capital and organised labor In the an
thracite Industry, thst the Issues Involve!
were Just about the same as those In
volved In every great strike since then;
The First Mrlke.
Away back ther- in 'IS, t.ie year be
fore the California gold excitement, a
labor organisation of anthracite miners
waa formed down in Krhuylklll county by
John Kates, after whom It was named.
The organiser of the Bates union worked
Indefatlgabljr for a year to enlist mem
bers In the organisation, just as John
Mitchell, mora than halt a crnutry later,
did missionary work for a year to In
crease membership In the United Mine
Workers before pulling oft hls.first dis
astrous strike.
Tha Bates union held a meeting on
May t, IMS. In the village of Mlners
vllle, and another meeting on May 1 In
the adjoining township, at which reso
lutions wera adopted stating that "We
have learned from Divine I'rovidence
that tha laborer at worthy of his hire,"
adding significantly that If any man
was prevented from working because of
bis membership In the union they would
all strike.
Tha same tactics were employed In that
strike Jo 1st that have been employed
ever since then. Including tha strike di
rected by John Mitchell In IMS. when
lha entire national guard of Pennsyl
vania, numbering 10.009 infantry, cavalry
and artillery, were wholly nnable to
cope with rioters and dynamiters, or to
quell tha Insurrection.
Tha men In the Hates union armed
themselves with cudgels, formed them
selves Into bands, and marched through
the Black valley, and by tha usual meth
ods of threat. Intimidation and assault
when deemed necessary compelled men
to quit work and Join their ranks.
After several weeks ot struggle the
operators and tba workmen got together
and effected a compromise, tha strike
waa declared off and tha men went
back to work. V
Troubles After the War.
Email labor troubles of local Importance
only continued to crop out In various
parts of the region until the civil war
waa In progress, when the price of coal
lumped from $3.78 per ton at Philadelphia
In 196J until it brought ready sale two
years later at 110.75.
Do many men were needed In military
snd naval operations that labor became
scarce and wages correspondingly higher;
hut when tba war ended labor again
rushed Into tlio coal fields, and the over
supply brought wages down from their
high war level.
In lluVCS miners organised to resist this
natural reduction due to the law ot sup
ply and demand, but they failed, al
though several strikes wera declared.
It was In the latter part ot 117 that
labor leaders In all tha three anthracite
ftelda realised tha necessity of having the
workmen knitted together in on strong
union, and after much carciul discussion.
In July, lS&s, tha first comprehensive
anthracite coal union eras formed the
Working-men's Benevolent association,
whose first president and controlling
spirit waa John Blney.
Before many months tha W. B. A.,"
as old miners atlll call it, waa strongly
intrenched In tha lower and middle flelda
8o large a proportion of mine workers
became members that It virtually con
trolled tha situation there,
i This strengthening of membership was
accomplished, however, by a constant
succession ot local strikes, parleying -with
operators, temporary resumption of work
and then mora strikes.
While tha middle and lower fields were
tied up bard and fast, however, tha mines
:n the upper field, the Wilkes barre region,
continued to work day and night, and
aupplted the public demand for sntnracite.
Ho mney'a men started on a march serosa
country to Wilkes barre to persuade the
miners there to go on strike. In thlt
they were so far successful thst the
operators In toe upper field agreed to an
i eight-hour working day. although the
; men tailed to get an advance In wagea.
I The strike lasted nearly all summer m
" tba lower or Schuylkill region, when an
. agreement waa reached there whereby

but lost their demand for an eight-hour
day.
Bin Onerntnrs Cnase In.
Everybody now hoped for a year ot
peace and work and wagea. but early in
; IK the Schuylkill operators announced
a reduction of wages; the union resisted
and ordered another strike, which was
1 not generally obeyed.
The operator offered to compromise,
as usual, but the union declined, until In
July It effected an agreement wHh
Franklin B. -owan. newly elected presi
dent of the Reading railroad. In agree
ment with this "Cowan compromise." the
strike was declared off In August, work

So unreasonable wera the demands In
sisted upon by lha union that scores of
independent operators were crushed, and
to save themselves from utter ruin wera
forced to turn their properties ever to

This day came In November, 170, when
three of the great companies announced
a reduction of 30 per cent. The men
employed by these companies went on
strike within a tew days, and on Jan.
10, 1S71. a general strike waa ordered,
which shut down practically every an.
thraclte mine. After several months ot
Idleness, rioting snd terrorism the troops
wera called out, and In conflict with
them several strikers were killed. Work
waa resumed Immediately, as has been
ever the case when troops wera able to
put down coal-region riots. Tha union
was utterly defeated, and the men gladly
went to work on terms laid down by their
empfoyers. The W. 11. A. waa crushed
everywhere but in the Schuylkill region,
where It hung along In name at least
for several years.
Between this struts ot UU and the
"long strike" of ls7S there was no gen

were constantly coming up to be dis

The widespread railroad strikes ot 1IT7

suspension of work throughout the whole

Workers Increased Its membership In the
anthracite fields. It wss on September
II, 1001, thst John Mitchell, president of
the United Mine Workers, ordered a gen
eral strike for better wages, reduction In
price ot blasting powder, payment of
wages every two weeks, etc. Wllhtn a
month practically all of the 9M anthracite
collieries were shut down. After a sus
pension of six weeks the. operators sgreed
to a is per cent advance In wages, to be
continued until April, 1WI.
Thus the men felt they had won a aub
stsntlal victory. Owing to the abort term
of this strlks there was little rioting, al
though disorder did occur here and there,
as at Shenandoah. Schuylkill county,
where a fight occurred between the au
thorities and strikers. In which three ot
the latter were killed and some thirty
wounded. It Is estimated that thla brief
strike of 1901 cost In money alone nearly
l,a,m.
The lest greet strlks, thst of 1902, Is

until October of that year, and was

President Roosevelt, felt It necessary to
Interfere, and did so. As a result he ap
pointed a commission to settle wage ques

John Mitchell accepted tha terms of peace
proposed by the president all rioting snd
other violence ceased Instsntly through
out the anthracite region. The hmir that
he gave the word lM.OOb miners went
