No Change in Drifton Shop Strike Fails Peace Move
Unchanged Drifton coal shop strike persists as Sunday and Saturday events show both sides firm. Clergy mediation failed after Coxe Bros. & Co demanded unconditional surrender and the right to rehire only selective workers. Superintendent Smith’s stance and public backlash reshape sentiment, with 200 demonstrators visiting the Drifton hotel to view non union workers and the town band policing the scene.

McGee Trains for Quigley Bout as Jeffries Camp Hints Victory
Philadelphia fighter Frank McGee trains under James J. Jeffries in Merchantville as he prepares to face Thomas Quigley in Freeland, weighing 105 pounds at noon and aiming for 108 before the bout. Quigley is the favorite but local backers lean toward McGee, with a special Lehigh Valley train planned for Wilkesbarre fans. Nearby, Mrs. George Tunis foils a burglary, Annie Johnson of Pittsburg dies at 22 with Freeland ties, and political contests over Controller Lloyd’s nomination proceed amid funeral processions and community notices.
