Reply of the Hoard of Control Cominlttco
to the Complaint Presented by the
.Members of the Trades' Conncil.
One month ago a committee of the
Building Trades council presented to
the board of control a lengthy pet!
tion in which was set forth various
grievances which they begged the
board to take cognizance of. At hist
night's meeting Air. Jennings, of the
finance committee, to which body the
matter was referred, presented a report
ot tne deliberations on the matter,
which was as follows:
In He: Matter of the petition of Phlllii
.1. Thomas, J'. .1. Snyder aud William V.
Si'nes, ii committee of the Hiilldlng
i ruues l oiiiicu 01 ine cliy or Mcranton
wmcn was referred to the nuance com
nut let of the board of control In conjuiiv
lion wnn the soiiciiur or sum ooaru.
What the Committee Savs.
The finance committee would respect
fully report llvul the committee ami the
solicitor have given due consideration to
the suld petition, and the urlevunce
complained of by the petitioners seem lo
in. as lollows: thut In ;lic letting of con
tracts for school huildlnxs t tie coutructors
sub-lets to other contractors large portions
of the work, ami lues, suu-comructora in
urn sun-let ucse portions to ol tiers, su
Iihi Die workmen who actually do the
work upon the building are two or three
times removed in point of contract from
the board of control, thus depriving them
of all oiiiiort nut t v to tile, liens for their
work In case Hie sume Is not puld by the
person who employs mem; and It Is also
represented that flielr wages are kept
down below a. fair price by reason of Its
ueiug necessary to pay two or three con
tractor's prollts over aid above the cost
ol the materials and labor which go to
make up the erection and construction c,f
the building.
We have carefully considered theie
questions and ure five to say that our ob
servation in the matter of the construe
tlitn of the schoo bu ldincs In the nast
leads us to believe that there is move or
less cause or cnnmluint In reference to
unjust and oppressive treatment of work
men who perlorm the labor In aud about
the erection und construction of such
buildings. The uiiestlon whether such in
justice can be remedied by the board, und
ir so, what means can he adopted to meet
the case Is a very broad and dlrt'cult one.
We think that greater care should be
taken in the letting of contracts for school
hulliliiiKS lo see thut they are only award
ed to contractors of Hie blithest churacter
for honesty, ability and fair treatment of
workmen employed by -them with perhaps
certain rciiiireinci!ti In regard lo making
Known the contractors and builders who
are to take contracts under them.
Piscrction should Ho I'scd.
We believe that it would be m ire to the
Interest or Die lux payers of the district
to sonu times Ignore the lowest bid and ac
cept a somewhat higher bid If the hlghci
bidder wus a limn who could he more Im
Illicitly relied unon to give the district
un honest building made up of honest
materials and nstriu ted with honoHt
act painstaking work.
We do not consider that any other ne
tlon Is neccssarv to he tken by the board
at this time in the mutter than to merely
express our purpose lo sec that In the fu
ture the utmost care shall be taken to se
cure the results already mentioned. It
may, however, be us well to state that nn
der no circumstances could workman se
rine a mechanic's lien upon school build
In km. as these end other public buildings
are expressly excepted out of the act of
asseniblv giving a lien to mechanics und
material men.

Good .Melodrama Now on tho Hoards nt
lo vis' Theater.
Manager Davis will give the nroceedc
of today's performance of "The Train
Wreckers" to the Hoard of A IHiir.t.i td.l
Charities for use In their work among
me i)or or ncranton. The play was
produced for the first time In this city
at a well attended performance in the.
Linden street theater yestrdav. It t!
scenic melodrama and Is well worth
seeing. The same company that pro
duced "The Smugglers" some time ago
handle "The Train Wreckers."
There are several good people In the
cast. Miss Mary Marble, than whom
there Is no better soubrette In the busi
ness, recreated the good impression
which she made several weeks ago.
Lawrence Holmes and Charles B. Har
rington make presentable endeavors.
The scenery is well arranged and is
adaptable to the play. "A man who re
sorts to the destruction ot an employ
er's property during a strike . Is nn
enemy, not a friend, to organized la
bor," Is one of the praiseworthy senti
ments of the story that the play tells.
There should be a large attendance kt 1
this afternoon's performance of "Tho
Train Wreckers." Daily anil nightly
liertormances will tie given until Wed
nesday night inclusive.

of Winchester, West Virginia, from the
appraisement of II. R. Puine of the es
ttte of John Hundley for collateral In
hcrltauco tux purposes. City Solicitor
Kobex t M. ard. of inchester. repre
sents the apellant. and a bond in the
sum of $5.01.0 is llled.
A resolution by the common council
of Winchester was passed directing
the city solicitor to tile exceptions tu
the appraisement. Tho appeal is a
voluminous document and Is, identical
with that llled by the executors of the

slims of the will of John Hamlley the
city of Winchester Is one of the specific
legatees and as such Is nggrleved In
Its Interests and Is prejudicially st
eeled by the appraisement.
The specific appeal represents that
tne appraisement of the legacy of $2.i0,

cessive h valuation of the same and
said up -isement Is otherwise Illegal.
That tile legacy Is not 'liable In nny

heritance tax. but if the court should
ctherwllse hold, that appellant con
tends that the tax Is not assessable and
liable until such time as the legacy
shull have been paid over by the es
