THE RCHANTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY MORNING. JANUARY 4, 1895.
LABOR MEASURES ABOUND
Representative Williams, of Carbon
County, Grapples Company Stores.
FEATURES OP HIS LITTLE bILL
Another Subject of Probublo Legislation
Is the Establishing of a Cabinet Burcaa
of Agriculture- New Charity Pro
ject Is Also I'rged.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Harrlsburg, Pa., Jan. S. There will
be numerous labor bills Introduced dur
ing the present session of the legisla
ture. Nearly every senator and repre
sentative from the great labor centers
of the commonwealth has been en
trusted with labor measures of various
sorts. Chief among them are bills
which are intended to be amendments
to the semi-monthly pay law and the
act against the existence of company
stores. Attorney General Ilensel, in
his last biennial report, called the at
tention of Governor Pattlson to the fact
that the act against manufacturing and
mining companies controlling stores is
being persistently violated, but "the
rather loosely constructed provisions
of the act are such as to enable them
to do so without legal accountability."
Mr. Williams, of Carbon, has a bill
iwhich he will introduce in the house
when it reconvenes that is intended to
be a blow at the company stores as
"well as a relief to the workmen, the
miners especially. If the measure be
comes a law it will prevent companies
from deducting from the wuges of
their employes the amount of the debts
they have contracted in these stores.
It is the practice with the managers of
some of these company stores to regu
larly keep from the employes the
amount of their Indebtedness on pay
days. If the bill prevails this will no
longer be a legul transaction. Mr. Wil
liams says this Is a species of attach
ment of the employes' wages, which, in
itself, is contrary to law, and that if
It becomes a law the men will feel at
liberty to trade where they choose.
There are sure to be a number of
amendments offered to the semi
monthly pay law. In Its present form
It is practically worthless.
Reapportionment Troubles.
The York county delegation, which la
the only solid Democratic delegation In
the house, Is much exercised over the
prospects of the passage of an appor
tionment bill that will redlstrict that
county so as to make it possible to
elect at least two Republican members.
By making one large "shoestring" dis
trict nearly fifty miles in length it will
be possible to accomplish the purpose
of the Republican leaders. The Demo
prats have no hope of saving the old
Democratic stronghold without a veto
of the proposed apportionment bill.
This, however, is not a thing to be very
hopefully expected.
Several of the most influential mem
bers of both senate and house are said
to favor a bill, ithe preparation of
which, under the supervision of Leon
ard Rhone and otflier leading grangers,
Is nearly finished, for the consolldaitloa
of the various disjointed and unsystem atized
agricultural institutions more
or less connected with the state gov
ernment and the establishment of a
etaite department of agriculture, whose
chief olfleer shall be entitled secretary
of agriculture. There Is a similar pro
ject, although less advanced In details
and outline, for a department of chart
ties and correction.
System and Harmony.
Among the complaints about the pres
ent state of things Is one that many
men who are not real agriculturists,
and are often nothing more than ropre
sontaitlves of race tracks, manage to
become members of the state board of
agriculture. Then, It Is argued, the
dairy and food commissioner, the state
college experimenters, the tobacco peo
ple, the fishing and gaming experts,
the state ornithologist, the forestry
commission and other specialists in
lines related to agriculture, all go their
own separate ways without auch sys
tematic direction or harmonious action
as would be for the best interests of the
tillers of the soil.
No specifications as to number of offi
cers and clerks or amount of salaries
for the proposed department of agricul
ture are yet divulged, but champions of
the embryo law assert that its results
In saving money to the state will be
as gratifying as the promised bringing
of order out of chaos. The forestry spe
cialists mention that restrictions on the
Christmas tree business are suggested
by the waste of last month, when nine
ty carloads, containing 2,700 young
trees, were taken from Pike county
and thereabouts, and owing to the "cor
ner" in the tree market, hundreds of
them found no buyers. In a general
way, the backers of the new agricultur
al department project propose to estab
lish, among other bureaus, those of
forestry, pure food, fish and game, to
bacco, dairy products, zoology and sta.te
agricultural society. Each of these
bureaus would be expected to enforce
all the laws bearing upon their respec
tive lines of business.
The New Charity Project.
As to the proposed department of
charities and corrections, governed by
' a secretary or a reorganized board, it
Is argued that the state, by an expendi
ture fully one-third less than it has
been making for these purposes, could
accomplish more satisfactory results.
For Instance, It is said, ihomes for chil
dren could be consolidated, and there
by not only a reduction In the number
of officers and employes 'would be made,
but a uniform and more economical
system, with better care for the Chil
dren, could be established. The desire
to provide salaried places for people In
.the multiplication of homes and asy

President Cleveland Thinks Another Fifty
.Million May Bo Necessary.
By the United Press.
Watftiingiton, Jan. 8. It Is authorita
tively stated this afternoon thoit Presi
dent Cleveland has not considered the
question of an extra session, and that
he does not believe an extra session
Willi be necessaTy. The authority for
this statement is a member of congress
Who talked wiith the president specific
ally upon this subject today. This gen
tleman thinks that tihe revenues conse
quent upon the collection of the income
tax, the sugar tax, and from other
sources, will, within a few months, give
the treasury department a comfortable
working surplus.
He thinks It not improbable that
Secretary Carlisle may be compelled
to make another sale of probably fifty
million of bonds, but when this shall
have been done the condition of the
treasury will be so Improved that no
further trouble need be apprehended.
INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.
During the third week of December
forty-five railroads increased 302 per
cent, in gross earnings.
The Reading company Is to mine
2,000,000 tons of coal in January, which
will mean half-time for the miners and
laborers and the Reading railroad men.
The company can mine and ship to
market 70 per cent, of the allotment,
but the output Is about only 33 per cent.
The coal tonnage of the Reading rail
road for the week ended Dec. 29 aggre
gated 140,123 tons, a decrease us com
pared with the same week in 1S33 of
51,077 tons. For the fiscal year to date
the shipments amounted to 025,003 tons,
ajjainst 1,097,137 tons for the correspond
ing period in 1S93.
On Wednesday the miners after re
porting for work at the Cranberry and
Crystal Ridge collieries, near Huzleton,
were informed that operations there
were shut down indefinitely, and they
were advised to ireturn unused powder
and similar supplies. One thousand
men are thus thrown out of employ
ment. i
The Delaware and Hudson Canal
company on Tuesday put into effect a
new kind of ticket. The single ticket
Is of bluish tint. On a return ticket,
the out-going coupon is of yellowish
color and the return of red. The out
going ticket must bo used before mid
night of the day following Its. sale, and
the return ticket within thirty days
from tfiie date of sule. No stop-over
privileges will be allowed.
As Is customary at the beginning of
a new year, tlhe Pennsylvania Railroad
company has Just ordered a large sup
ply of steel rails for use in renewals
and In new construction. The con
tracts call for the delivery of 30,000
tons of rails, and are divided between
the Pennsylvania Steel company, the
Edgiar Thomson Steel works, the Cam
bria Iron company and the Lackawan
na Iron and Steel company. It Is be
lieved that this will be about one-half
the company's requirements in 1S05,
and that In all probability some 30,000
tons more will bo ordered later In the
year. In 1S03 the Pennsylvania rail
road used 67,000 tons of steel rails. Last
year, when the amount of new con
struction fell off greatly In consequence
uf the extreme depression prevailing,
only 30,000 tons were used. The price
at which the contracts for the new
year have been placed has not been
officially stated.
Three hundred persons attended the
much-advertised meeting of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Stockholders' Protec
tive association, held in Philadelphia
Wednesday night. John M. Hutchin
son, ex-seeretary-trensurer of the Le
high Valley road, called the meeting to
order and Silas W. Petit was elected to
act as chairman. Speeches In criticism
of the present management of the road
were made. Finally Mr. Hutchinson
stated that too believed that while suc
cess may probably not be on the side of
the dissatisfied stockholders at the com
ing annual election, yet In the end the
desired state of affairs would be se
cured. He thought that the present
management would have a majority of
the votes. Chairman Petit appointed,
In accordance with the wlsh of the
meeting, the following persons to rep
resent the association at the annual
meeting and to carry Into effect the
purpose of the resolutions: Evans R.
Dick, Charles H. R. Trlebel and How
ard N. Van Cort.
The meeting of general managers and
sales agertts of :Bhe anthracite coal
trade held on Monday adjourned pend
ing the report of a committee of three,
which was appointed to gather data
regarding the capacity of mines, the
form of the reports of production and
shipments, etc. The Information will
be used by the general body In perfect
ing an allotment basis. The president
of one of the anthracite coal compa
nies, In speaking of the above, aa well
as on tlhe attitude of the Reading com
pany towards the trade, said: "The
Reading company, through Mr. Harris,
has always been for harmony among
anthracite producing and shipping in
terests and appears to consider this
the. principal object to be attained at
the present time. This harmony it is
proposed to use to advance prices, or,
ratiier, carrying rates. I think there Is
no doubt whatever but that something
will come of the present situation. I
have seen, as yet, no disposition to
kick over the traces. When the commit
tee, which has been appointed to ex
amine the circumstances of production
in the case of each of the principal In
terest, reponts finally, I think we sSiall
all of us be Inclined to accept Its con
elusion In rather a liberal spirit."

CONGRESS RE1ASSEMBLES
Members Are Refreshed by Their
Holiday Vacation.
FROG RAM ME FOR THE WEEK
Klcaraugua Canal Bill Liable to Be
Snowed I ndcr-Pop-Gun Dills Bob I'p
Serenely Silver Men Are Laying
For the Baltimore Plan.
By the United Press.
Washington. Jan. 3. Congress re-assembled
this morning after the holiday
recess, and it is presumed the sessions
will now continue right along until
the 4th day of March, at noon. If the
programme Is to be carried out much
lggislatlon will have to be crowded
to the fifty-one working days that still
remain before the dissolution of the
Fifty-third congress. Nothing of Im
portance will be done this week. The
chances are favorable for an adjourn
ment of the Benate on Friday until
Monday. If the present policy of the
Republicans is continued, the vote on
the Nicaragua canal bill will not be
had in the Bennte for many days. This
bill is being utilized as n buffer to ward
oft other measures that would speedily
come to the front if the pending meas
ure were out of the way.
There are other measures, however,
which the Dmocratlc caucus did not
Indorse that are clamoring for atten
tion, and gome of these may be pushed
Into a prominent place. Of these, It
( oka as if only the pooling bill could
secure favorable action in the senate.
The Republicans have not been idle
during the holiday recess. They have
been perfecting their plans for the en
forcement of their programme of allow
ing nothing to bo dene by this congress
but the passage of the appropriation
bills.
It will be remembered that during the
consideration of the tariff bill in the
hist session, the Republicans In their
f peeches did not discuss the income tax
on its merits; it was referred to only in
the most casual way. It was their In
tention, when the urgent deficiency bill
comes before them to take up the tariff
and debate it upon its merits, a debate
which they consider perfectly legiti
mate, now tliait, untrammelled by other
matters, the enforcement of a law of
this kind comes before them as an inde
pendent proposition. Mr. Lodge will be
In charge of this fight, and he has les
than fifteen speeches on his list that
will bo made by Republicans alone
against the principles of the income
tax, to say nothing of the attack that
will be made by Mr. Hill. When it
comes to voting the Republicans will
support the appropriation.
The l'op-Uun Bills.
An element of doubt, in connection
with the urgent deficiency bill, Is the
attittudu of Messrs. Vest, Berry, Black
burn, and other3 who have been en
deavoring to get ithe.tr forces into line
to demand the consideration of the so
called "pop-gun" tariff bills, vnd es
pecially tlmit repealing the differential
duty on sugar and the discriminating
duty on refined sugars Imported from
Germany.
Another possible obstruction to the
unresisted consideration of routine
business Is the currency bill, which Is
now under debate In .the house. The
Carlisle bill has few friends In the
sfnute, and but little more can be said
fur the Springer substitute. The Re
publicans, believing the fight Is one
which the Democrats should settle
among themselves, will permit them to
do so.
Mr. Teller probably expressed the sit
uation as viewed by the silver men
when ihe said: " We will Jump onto
the Haltlmore plan, or anything resem
bling it, with both feet and trample it
to death."
As far as regards the prospects of
legislation iln the house, there are some
Indications that, unless ths currency
bill Is speedily disposed of, appropria
tion 'bills may be thrown across its
path.

The Grangers were decidedly heavy,
St. Paul fulling to 35, Northwest to 91,
Rock Island to CO'i, and Burlington to
COVi. a decline of V and 1 per cent.
Chicago Oas was another weak spot,
and fell to TltJ on the revival of the talk
about cutting the dividend. In the
afternoon a house Identified with a big
bear trader bought about 10.000 shares
of St. Paul, oiil this turned the mar
ket. The rally In prices ranged from
Vt t li per cent., Sugar leading with
sules up to 88. The buying of this

(Action
to our
Washburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many pat
rous that thev will this year hold to their usual custom
ot milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers are
oi the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will tako
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling has
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above other
brands.
