The piece discusses diverse local industries employing men and women from mines to mills including silk and woolen mills and a button factory. It argues miners seek higher wages and broader employment stability to sustain prosperity, urging a fair comparison of conditions under different administrations with facts from J. W. Doran of Wilkes-Barre Lace Manufacturing.
A Philadelphia Times interview with ex president Cleveland is branded as an absolute fabrication based on a Black affidavit.
