FREELAND TRIBUNE. VOL. XV. NO. 119. SALARY BILL HAS PASSED Minimum Wage of Teachers Fixed at $35 a Month. Act Has Been Sent to Gov- ernor Pennypacker for His Approval?Will Affect Sev- eral Districts. By a vote of 33 to 9, tho Snyder pub- lic school teachers' minimum salary bill has passed the senate of Pennsylvania Anally, and It now goes to the governor for his approval. By this action there Is secured to every public school teach- er in this commonwealth a salary of not less than $3. r > per month. By the passage of this act tho legis- lature, If the governor approves, has abolished low wages for the army of young men and young women who are training tho children of the state for future lives of usefulness. The bill offers, a new Incentive to young men and young women of the rural districts to enter the profession; it secures to those who have devoted years of their lives to school teaching at least a reasonable salary. It relegates to the roar the class of school directors who hold the tax rate and property valuation in higher esteem than the welfare of the children of their districts. The bill goes to the governor un- hampered by restrictions,' unencumber- ed by doubtful conditions. The penalty for violation of its provi- sions is tho forfeiture of the statu ap- propriation. The provisions of the bill will not af- fect the teachers of Freeland or Foster, as all employed in these districts receive not less than $35 per month. However, in Butler, Denlson and other townships of this county many teachers are at present paid less than the new legal minimum. Special Convention. From tho Hazleton Plain Speaker. A special convention of tho United Mine Workers of District 7 will be called for the latter part of this month. The exact date has not yet been decided upon, but the convention will assemble in this city on or about the 20th Inst. The object of this gathering is said to be the ratification of the changes that will bo made in tho constitution by tho committee that is now engaged at that task. It is altogether probable, however, that the delegates will not restrict them- selves merely to this particular business. All matters that concern the miners of this district will likely be discussed and Hustle Along If you want to be classed with the throng who have for weeks past taken advantage of the large assortment of bargains we have been offering. New spring goods are beginning to arrive, and it will be only a short time until these opportunities will have disappeared. To close them out quickly and give us more clear space for the extensive lines of Spring and Sum- mer Goods which are coming in we are offering Clothing, Furnish- ings, Shoes, Dry Goods, Notions, etc., at prices seldom heard of.

FREELAND, PA., FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 1903. BREVITIES. The pipe which conveys compressed air to the motors in Drlfton mine burst yesterday afternoon and the released air did considerable damage in the vicinity of the bursted section. Twelve coal cars wore demolishod and timbers wore torn out. No one was in tho neighbor- hood of the accident when it happened. Cornelius O'Donnell, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick F, O'Donnell and a pupil at Eckley B. Coxe school, fell from a shed near the school during this morn- ing's recess. He was badly injured about the hip and body and was remov- ed to his home on South street. Alfred Hhive, of town, and Miss Maud Mealing, a popular young lady of Upper Lehigh, were married at 7 o'clock last evening by Rev. J. B. Korschner. The ceremony took place at the home of the bride's mother. The young couple will make their home in town. Mrs. Rocco DePlerro arrived here from Italy this week with her two sons and joined her husband on South Centre street. Mr. DePierro, who is a tailor, has been a resident or town for several years and the family will make their permanent home here. Miss Ella Meehan, of Washington 9treet, who was operated upon at St. Joseph's hospital, Philadelphia, on Tuesday, is Improving, but will be re- quired to undergo another operation before she leaves the institution. The condition of John Sippel, who is ill in Philadelphia, is still serious. Mr. Sippel, his father, returned home last evening, but Mrs. Sippel has remained to await developments. A number of members of the Free- land council of the Royal Arcanum at- tended the district convention of the order at Hazleton last evening. Mrs. Hugh McGeehan, who suffered a relapse this week, is improvlug. Tonight's Exhibition. Tho large sale o( 9eats for Jell, Fltz and their combination of athletes Is suf- ficient proof that the local sporting fraternity takes kindly to a great draw- ing card when It is presented. The an- nouncement of tho two big pugilists in fistcuffs togothor Is creating no end of comment among tho followers of the manly art. The opportunity to 9ee Jeff and Fltz occurs tonight at tho Grand opera house. Tho fact that tho gladi- ators have boon off two weeks and are In bettor condition than ever beforo is sufficient proof that their portion of the program will uot bo of the love-tapping kind. The preliminary bouts (which will bo for points) are also said to bo of the very best, and an effort Is being made to securo some local talent to try conclu- sions with some of the light weights travelling with the combination. Tho management of tho. house is to be con- gratulated for keeping the scale of prices down, as very often such an at- traction advances tho prices, therefore creating much dlspleasuro and discon- tent with tho patrons. With such an attraction and tho prevailing popular prices, tho capacity of the house will probably bo tested this evening. Operators Are Puzzled. About thirty-five coal operators, rep- resenting the independent operators of the Lackawanaa and Wyoming regions, met at Scranton yesterday to consider the award of the Coal Strike Commission and the interpretation that should be given its various clauses. A committee, consisting of H. H. Ashley, of the Par- rish Coal Company, Plymouth, and H. C. Reynolds and W. L. Connell, of Scran- ton, was appointed to confer with the superintendents of the large companies with a view to agreeing upon an inter- pretation of the award that will be adopted by all operators. The question of whether or not the 10 per cent increase should be figured on the gross or net earnings of the contract miners was discussed at length and it was decided that it applied to the gross. The meeting adjourned to reconvene at a time to be agreed upon later to hear the report of the committee. Officers of Citizens' Bank. The stockholders of tho Citizens' bank have re-elected last year's officers, as follows: President ?H. C. Ivoons. Vice president?Thomas Birkbeck. Secretary?Charles Dusheck. Cashier?B. li. Davis. Directors?John Shigo, John Burton, Anthony Rudewick, 11. C. Koons, Thomas Birkbeck and Charles Dusheck. Teller?Andrew Shigo. Bookkeepers?James W. Bell and Miss Mabel Croll.

It is reported that the drivers em- ployed by Markle & Co. are not satisfied with that firm's interpretation of the nine-hour day clause, so far as it ap- plies to them, and it is likely that a committee will wait upon the manage- ment to endeavor to adjust the differ- ences. The drivers want their time to be counted from the hour they report for work and to be allowed an hour for their noon-day meal, or they will work the noon-hour, as heretofore, provided it is counted as part of their shift. When they work over nine hours thoy want pay for tho extra time.

Tho employes at the surrounding col- lieries are well pleased with the new schedule of hours which went into effect on Wednesday. The firemen are natur- ally the most elated of the workers, as their reduction of four hours per day is a boon which they could uot fail to appreciate. Speaking of tho now conditions, one of this class of laborers said last evening that his work Is now "like going to school," as his toil ends at 4 o'clock and he arrives home with the scholars.

Tho fact that tho gladi-ators have boon off two weeks and areIn bettor condition than ever beforo issufficient proof that their portion of theprogram will uot bo of the love-tappingkind.
The preliminary bouts (which willbofor points) are also said to bo of thevery best, and an effort Is being made to
securo some local talent to try conclu-sions with some of the light weightstravelling with the combination. Thomanagement of tho. house is to be con-gratulated for keeping the scale ofprices down, as very often such an at-
traction advances tho prices, thereforecreating much dlspleasuro and discon-tent with tho patrons. With such anattraction and tho prevailing popularprices, tho capacity of the house willprobably bo tested this evening.
