Carroll D. Wright, umpire of the conciliation board. In answer to a communication sent to Mr. Wright by President T. D. Nieholls, of district No. 1, and received by the latter this' morning, Wright says that, according to the fifth award of the Anthracite Strike Commission it is mandatory on the part of the companies to employ a check weighman or check docking boss where it is so desired by g. majority of the employes and that the wages for the same are to be deducted proportionately from all the employes regardless of whether they made the request or not. The ceremony was performed at 9:30 o'clock, with a solemn high mass, it being impossible to celebrate a nuptial mass today on account of it being a feast day in the church calendar. The officers of the mass were: Celebrant, Rev. Father Ruddy, of Parsons, a cousin of the grooTm; deacon, Rev. Father Feeley, of Inkerman; sub-deacon, Rev. Father Quinnan, of Wyoming;, master of ceremonies', Rev. Father M.nley, of thisD city. Miss Nellie Wji n played frhe wedding march and the music of the mass was rendered by the church choir. As the offertory, Trof Quinnan sang the "Ave Marie," and Miss Mary Keating rendered tha Et Incarnaius Est. The marriage ceremony was performed by R'av. Father Ruddy, and was followed with the nuptial losing on 'the newly-wedded pair.

WITHOUT EXTRA CHARGE AT*:;: THE MOUNTAIN, SEASHORE, The question on which the opinion has been given by Umpire Wright Vas raised by the employes of the coal department of the Ontario & Western Railroad Co., in. the vicinity of Scranton, and recently threatened to result in a strike of large proportions.

Actions Started in Court for Damages The discontinuance of the penny newspaper price in Wilkesibarne by the two evening papers reflects a tendency likely soon to become general. A* paper 'wortih buying at all is worth two certs, and when sold for leas- is sold at a loss, the burden of which is unfalirfy thrust upon advertisers',1 who in turn charge it back to patrons, thus beating the devil around the stump, It. would be more business-like to meet the i.-'sue openly and with the price of white paper rising steadily and the supply Cif wood pulp from which it is manufactured steadily diminishing, it is only a question of time until tihe penny craze will have to disappear throughout the country.

Carroll D. Wright, umpire of the conciliation board. In answer to a communication sent to Mr. Wright by President T. D. Nieholls, of district No. 1, and received by the latter this' morning, Wright says that, according to the fifth award of the Anthracite Strike Commission it is mandatory on the part of the companies to employ a check weighman or check docking boss where it is so desired by g. majority of the employes and that the wages for the same are to be deducted proportionately from all the employes regardless of whether they made the request or not. The ceremony was performed at 9:30 o'clock, with a solemn high mass, it being impossible to celebrate a nuptial mass today on account of it being a feast day in the church calendar.

Father Quinnan, of Wyoming;, master of ceremonies', Rev. Father M.nley, of thisD city. Miss Nellie Wji n played frhe wedding march and the music of the mass was rendered by the church choir. As the offertory, Trof Quinnan sang the "Ave Marie," and Miss Mary Keating rendered tha Et Incarnaius Est. The marriage ceremony was performed by R'av.

A* paper 'wortih buying at all is worth two certs, and when sold for leas- is sold at a loss, the burden of which is unfalirfy thrust upon advertisers',1 who in turn charge it back to patrons, thus beating the devil around the stump, It. would be more business-like to meet the i.-'sue openly and with the price of white paper rising steadily and the supply Cif wood pulp from which it is manufactured steadily diminishing, it is only a question of time until tihe penny craze will have to disappear throughout the country.
