Mr. J. J. Stickler, Inside Foreman at Colliery No. 11, accompanied by his wife and three children, left on a voyage across the ocean on Thursday of last week. They will visit Wales, Scotland and England, where they will view the coronation, as one of his nephews will sing before the King. Mr. Stickler has been employed by the I. C. & N. Co. for the last 27 years. He was employed as laborer, loader and miner at Nos. 10, and 11, and worked himself up to foreman at Colliery No. 12, which position he held for several years. He became Foreman at No. 11 in 1907 and since that time has increased the output of coal from 1000 tons to 1800 tons a day. He has been very successful as to mine accidents to the men and by his just and humane treatment has won their respect and hearty cooperation daily and in every emergency. He always takes a personal interest in his employees, and realizes that they have a life to live outside of the mines. As a token of their affectionate regard for him the employees tendered him a banquet, and presented him with a handsome gold watch and chain. Some of the toast and speeches made by the men at the banquet contained true sermons in the art of square treatment to subordinates. Mr. Stickler will remain abroad until August, during which time Mr. William Stickler will act as Foreman at No. 11.
