MOORE INAUGURAL
WILL BE BRILLIANT
Continuing Mombers of Council,
Led by Buchholz and Hall,
to Confer
PARADE MAY BE FEATURE
Subject to the approval of Mayor
elect Moore present members of Coun
cils who will serve In the new body
nrc planning fo nn inaugural ceremony
that will outshine uny previous affair
of the kind in this city.
Ednnrd Ruehholz nnd Charles B.
Hall plan conferring with the Mayor-
elect, wnn u view to ercurins nis viuwn
as to the character of ceremony to be
held January C.
Previous to this consultation mem
bers of Councils have outlined a ten
tative plan for nn outdoor inaugural
following to the custom at Washing
ton. In the event of adoption of such
a plan the ceremony would probably
take placo on the north City Hall plaza.
Parade Is Considered
Another plan is to have the new
Mayor inaugurated in tho Mayor's re
ception room on the second floor of City
Hall Instead of in Common Council
chamber.
From tho reception room the entire
party would adjourn to a Council cham
ber for tho organization of the new
body of twenty-ono members.
As u part of the day's events a parade
made up of political clubs, various Re
publican organizations und ward com
mittees has been suggested. This would
take place on Broad street and be re
viewed by tho new Mayor and his
cabinet from a stand on the north
plaza. '
May Use Opera House
If Sir. Moore consents tho purade
will be arranged by tho Vare leaders
who ure in the majority or the o;u mem
bers of Councils to be re-elected. The
parade plans are subject to change
should u final revision result in holding
tho ceremonies outside of City Hall or
in the Metropolitan Opera House. This
suggestion comes from friends ot the
Mayor-elect and will bo considered
along with other plans.
Mr. Moore so far has expressed no
desire regarding his inauguration, but
ho will probably make his views known
when tho heads of tho councilmunic
committee call upon him today or Mon
day. Mr. Buchholz ban been chosen to
head the inaugural commltteo and Mr.
Hall, present chief clerk of Select
Council, and a ncwly-clectcd member of
tho new body, will be secretary.
Grundy Plans Crow
De'fe(ii, Is Report
Continued Iron rare One
Senator Crow had a very kindly feeling
for the Yores. There is a story that n
personal friend of .the president of the
Manufacturers' Association uncovered
a bcheme whereby, it is alleged, Senator
Grow and his friends proposed to per
mit the legislation in which Mr. Grundy
and his friends were interested to pass
the Scnato and then kill, or at least
cripple it, to a point of uselessncss, in
Um House,x
Tho situation, as the session pro
ceeded, grew so acute that Mr. Grundy
and his associates declined to hold uny
conferences with certain state officials
interested in the passago of a nrmbcr of
measures. They believed that, to employ
a colloquialism, they were being double
crossed and would not receive fair
treatment. This critical condition lasted
until tho end of tho session.
This, iu alteneral way. is nn outline
of conditions in the inner councils of
tho party. There have been several
conferences, but nothing has been ac
complished in the wuy of effecting a
compromise. It is known that u crisis
impends and that in tho end there will
be a general realignment of factions in
tho party with surprising results.
Senator Crow is not likely to submit
with complacency to any action that
will limit his influence or removo him
from the state chairmanship.
In event of a break, it is not im
probable that tho Vares would throw
their influence to Senator Crow, and
thus the hoped for end of factional
struggles in Philadelphia would be as
- ff nn rr. Stnto Chairm'in '
has a very considcrauie following in the
western pare or toe mute, uu iw
from one of its largest soft coal min
ing counties. ... . .
While a general denial may be made
of the facts recited above by some, of
those interested, there is no question
that a serious breach is threatened, in
which Republican leaders In the state
will be called upon to stand up and
bo counted on ono side or the other.

GRUENBERGS FIRE OPERATORS READY
DRAWNBYWALTON TO REOPEN MINES
Controller's Declaration He Did
Not Fight Charter Questioned
by Research Director
WOULD AVOID CONTROVERSY
Frederick P. Gmenberg, director of
the Bureau of Municipal Research, bus
replied to Controller Walton. Ho chal
enies Mr. Wnlton'i statement that h'
was not onposed to the new charter.
"Controller Wnlton," paid Mr. Gru
enberg, "was one of two public 'offi
clalc utilized bv the anti-charter forces
to injure the recommendations of tho
charter committee during the last ses
sion of the state Legislature."
Mr. Gruenbcrg further said the con
troller's admission that contractors
could have bcu told to wait a while
for their warrants for transit work,
"was a mere self-evident, clumsy, ad
mission that be hnu been attacking the
new charter."
In this conunctlon it war said in
political circles that one of the reasons
why Controller Walton was unopposed
In, the primurles by the Vnres for re
nomination was that he had backed
un the Vara flcht on the now charter.
City Controller Walton, in replvint;
to .Mr. uruenucrg s churges that tne
city's credit had been attacked for the
sako of discrediting the new charter,
said that he paid no attention to Mr.
Gruenberg.
"I have no desire," said Mr. Gru
cnberg, "to enter into a personal
controversy with tir, Walton, tjaptatn
Walton is an elderly gentleman of at
tractive personality. This bureau does
not exist for the jurpose of indulging
in personalities. When I criticize pub
lic officials it is on behalf of a civic
agency.
"I will say, however, ho was one of
two public officials utilized by the nnti
chartcr forces to injure the recommen
dations of the charter committee dur
ing the last scsion of the etatc Legis
lature. Turther. this refusal to com
ment on tho situation is confession
nnd uvoidance. Since Controller Wal
on has admitted that it is un every
day thing to ask contractors to wult
r while for warrants, this giving out
of u sensational story that the city
is bankrupt .is a clumsy admission that
be has been attacking the charter."

DUY GOVERNMENT 8AVINQ8 STAMP8
Proparod to Pay 14 Por Cent
Wage Advance as Suggested
by Garfield
WILL ENFORCE INJUNCTION
By Associated Press
Washington. Nov. 20. The battle
grouud of tho conflict over a new wago
Ecalc in the bituminous coal industry,
Mhich has centered hero during tvvo
weeks of fruitless negotiations, toduy
shifted to the various fields iu all sec
tlons of the country.
Operators returning' home to attempt
to reopen their mines and ready to pay
the fourteen per cent wage advance sug
gested by Fuel Administrator Garfield,
received the assurance of tho govern
me.nt that troops were ready to pro
tect from violence uny miner wishing
to return to work. At the same time,
notice was served that the. failuro of
operators to co-operate with the Kov
ernment In restoring coal production to
normal would result in Federal control
of tho properties.
Federal district attorneys having been
instructed relative to proceeding against
cither operators or miners restricting
tho output of coal, the Department of
JtiFtice simply awaited developments.
Any move on tho nurt of mine work
ers or their lendcrB to interfero with
work in tho mines will be dealt with
Eromntly. Those who can bo reached
y injunction proceedings will be
stopped in that way from interfering
with any of thp Ltrikcra who want to
return to work. Those who escape
the arm of the law will bo prevented
by military force from preventing those
who want to work from digging coali
Torro Haute, Ind., Nov. 29. (By A
P.) Operators in the Indiana field will
not offer as an inducement to miners.to
resume work nny guarantee of a price
for mining coal beyond the 14 per cent
increase named in Fuel Administrator
Garfield's proposal.
This statement was made today ut
headquarters of the Indiana Bituminous
Coal Operators' Association, in connec
tion with pre.BR dispatches staling that
operators would insure to the miuers a
guarantee of any price that might be
agreed upon In the future.
Notices were posted at all mines to
day to the effect that coal production,
beginning today, would be paid for ut n
scale baed upon a 14 per cent iu
crease. Individual miners herp say there will
be no break in tho union ranks until a
scaln agreement is made and signed.
Charleston, W. Va., Nov. 29. (By
A. P.) A conference of operators' and
miners representatives in the Kanawha
coal district was continued hero today lu
hopes that nn agreement could be reach
ed whereby the mines which are closed
mav resume operations. Conferences
held yesterday brought little results to
ward resumption, so far as it could be
learned.
FHtrtureli, Nov. 29. (By A. P.)
Representatives of coal operators who
returned yesterday from the Washing
ton conference declared today they wcro
ready to operate the mines in the Pitts
burgh district upon the government's
terms. They said they were ready uIno
to hdve the government operate the
mines, according to its intention au-
.nounced yesterday nnd would co-opcr '
ate in every possmie. measure,
Columbus. O.. Nov. 29. (By A. P.)
Walter D. McKinney, secretary of
the Southern Ohio Coat Exchange, to
day sent out notices to virtually all Ohio
soft coal ruiues that the increase of
14 per cent proposed by the government
would becomo effective at ouce. No
Ohio company, Mr. McKinney said, to
his knowledge was guaranteeing tho
difference between the government scale
proposal and the tcale which may finally
bo decided upon.
