SOUTH STEEL MILL
HAS SHUT DOWN
Twelve Hundred Workmen Are Thrown
Out ol Employment.
NUMBER OP THE MEN QUIT WORK
Olliclnls of tho Ijttckiuvnnun, Irofi and
Steel Coinpnnr Decided Tlint It Wno
Not Advlnblo to Continue Opera
tions Without tho Skilled Workmen
Who Quit nnd Ordered tho Entire
Plnnt to Ho Shut Down--Wlwt
.11 r. Wehrum Says.
A four o'clock, yesterday afternoon
the South mill of tho Lackawanna
Iron nnd Bteel company shut down and
at this writing there is no one who can
say how soon work will be resumed.
Twelve hundred men uro thrown out
of employment.
As mentioned in yesterday's Tri
bune there was great dissatisfaction
among some of th'e workmen when
they received their pay Saturday and
learned the extent to which the cut
In their wages affected them. Thoso
who quit Saturday and refused to re
turn to work were augmented vester
day morning by the "chlppers" who
worked nights last week, consequently
were scheduled to go on duty at six
o'clock yesterday morning. They did
not report for duty and carpenters, ma
chinists nnd other workmen about the
plnnt wore substituted for them. The
results were not very satisfactory,
however.
Eurly In the morning the "chargers"
nnd "dolly" men employed In tho
nenting' department of tho rail mill
wnlted upon Superintendent John O.
Stanton nnd tcld him that there would
have to be a readjustment of the scale
of wages or they would refuse to con
tinue to work. They requested an an
swer not later than 11 a. m. Mr. Stan
ton advlced General Manager Wehrum
of the action taken by the men and re
ported back to th'em that the company
could not Increase the scale of wages.
MEN QUIT WORK.
When this Information was conveyed
to the "chargers" and "dolly" men
they quit. Tho heaters objected to
having inexperienced men take th'o
places of those who quit and inti
mated that thev too would leave if
green hands were Dut to work with
them. They agreed to do their own
charging for the remainder of the day
and did so until tho mill shut down at
four o'clock.
With the "chlppers," "chargers" and
"dolly" men out the officials of tho
company decided that it would be
somewhat difficult to keep the mill in
operation and orders were given to sus
pend operations. The men who quit
did not make a hostile demonstration
of any kind, but as a matter of pro
caution tho force of watchmen at tho
mill last night was doubled.
There is a feeling among many of
tho men that the mill will not bo
shut down for long. They argue that
tho company will in all probability
make some concessions to the men who
quit work and that within a week all
will bo serene again. This hopeful
view of the situation was not shared
by all the workmen last night. They
feared that they were doomed to an
other long period of idleness. None of
the officials of the company, save Gen
eral Manager Wehrum. would discuss
the situation further than to say that
in their opinion the men were making
a mistake in stopping work, for the
company could better afford to have
the mill idle than to run it with the
rail market In the condition It Is at
present.
WILLi REMAIN IDLE.
General Manager Wehrum, when
spoken to by a Tribune reporter, con
firmed the news with reference to the
mill shutting down, and said that it
would have to remain Idle until such
time as the men who quit work return
or other experienced men take their
places.
He said the company was anxious to
give Its men employment and for that
reason and not because any money
could be made had started the mill
a month ago at the reduced scale. He
Intimated that the company was not
particularly anxious to have the mill
resume -while the rail trade Is In its
present condition.
Foreman Clfford, who was in charge
of tho rail, shed, where most of the
disaffected workmen were employed,
has been suspended. He was very un
popular with the workmen under his
charge.

LABOR IJ1UST PAY TAX;
lint Stntc Scnnto Goes Slow on Tnx
ing llccr nnd Some Other Things.
Beginning July 1 next any man who
employs a foreigner to work for him
must deduct from that foreigner's
wages three cents per day and pay It
over to the county treasurer. This
money is divided between the county
and the school district equally.
It is estimated that this scheme will
put about a $1,000,000 into the county
treasuries throughout the state, but
that Is a problem that Is not yet worked
out.

tho 1'ostollico on His .11ind--Skctcli
of tho lliisy, Useful LI Co of tho

An Associated Press dispatch last

ination of Colonel Ezra II. Ripple to be
postmaster at Scranton. The nomina-
COLONEL E. H. RIPPLE,
Nominated by President McKlnlcy for
Postmaster of Scranton.
tlon was submitted to the senate yes
terday, but what further action, if
any, was taken, was not stated.
Colonel Ripple when Interviewed on
the matter declined to say anything
for publication xegardlng what his
policy might be, as he felt it might
bo presuming a little to take
for granted that the senate would
confirm him. He preferred to wait, he
said, until ho was something more than
a nominee.
Postmaster Y&ndllng's term does not
expire until the fall, but as he is de
sirous of mnklng a European trip this
summer he icquested the department
to relieve him nt this time. His resig
nation will take effect July 1, if his suc
cessor qualifies before that time.
THE NEXT POSTMASTER.
Few, Indeed, if any Scrantonlans en
Joy greater popularity that Scranton's
next postmaster, and it will doubtless
be conceded that he Is In every way
fitted to give a most satisfactory ad
ministration of this Important office.
Col. Ripple was born In Mauch
Chunk, Pa February 14, 1842, At the
age of fifteen his parents moved to this
city locating on the West Side, then
the borough of Hyde Park. He 'at
tended the public schools and after
wards graduated from Wyoming sem
inary and Eashman's commercial col
lege, Poughkecpsle, N. Y.
In 1SC2 and again In 1SC3 he went out
at the call for "emergency men" to re
pel the Invasion of the state nnd In
March 18G4 he enlisted In the Fifty-second
Regiment, PennsyH'anla Volun
teers. July 3, of that year he was. cap
tured by the rebels at Charleston, S. C.
and for three months at Andersonvllle
and five at Florence, he suffered all
the horrors of the Southern prison
pens. Once he escaped but was tracked
by bloodhounds and although ho
fought hard for his liberty was recap
tured and from that time until tho
close of the war he underwent even
worse tortures than he was subjected
to before.
POSITIONS HE HAS FILLED.
Among the positions of prominence
that ho has filled or Is filling might be
mentioned colonel of the Thirteenth
regiment, common councilman, treas
urer of Lackawanna county, mayor,
member of the board of control, presi
dent of the board of charities, member
of the park commission and member
of the state commission on soldiers' or
phans schools and commissary general
of the state.
He Is a foremost member of the
Grand Army of the Republic, promin
ent in Masonic circles and a trustee
of Grace Reformed Episcopal church.
He is a member of the firm of William
Connell & Co. Coal operators and
largely interested In many of Scran
ton's leading Industries.
DO NOT WANT A BOROUGH.
Various Interests Kxccpt to Moosic
Ilccoming Such.
Exceptions to tho Incorporation of
Mooslo as a boroug"h were yesterday
filed by Atorneys M. J. Donahoe and C.
Comegys, representing P. J. Qulnn and
Frank Toole, supervisors of Lacka
wanna township; W. A. Lathrop, gen
eral superintendent of the Lehigh Val
ley Coal company; W. J. Lewis, trustee
for the bondholders of the Lackawanna
and Luzerne Coal and Iron company,
and a number of citizens of the pro
posed borough.
The exceptants allege that tho pe
tition for incorporation Is defective, as
it is vague In Its description of boun
daries,, and erroneously states that all
the petitioners are freeholders; that the
advertisement Is faulty in that it men
tions a "village of Green" as being ono
of tha compotent parts of the proposed
borough, when there is no such village
In Lackawanna county, and besides It
gives no notice to the residents of
Greenwood, Oak Hill, Starks and No. 4
that their settlements are Included In
the boundary; that the! five setlements
out of which It Is proposed to Incorpor
ate tho new borough are widely scatter
ed, sparsely settled, unconected by
common streets or lanes and In no wise
fitted to become a borough.
It Is also alleged that a large portion
of the acres included within the llmjts
of the proposed borough is uninhabit
ed land brought in solely for tho pur
poses of taxation. ,

TEACHERS COMMITTEE AT WORK.
Making Up tho Teaching Stair nnd
riling Snlnrios.
Las.t night the teachers committee of
the board of control began its annual
task of making up the list of teachers
for the succeeding year. The meeting
was private.
President Jennings, to a Tribune re
porter, stated that there will be few
changes, and those few will be mado
only as a matter of convenience for
the teachers. Tho vacancies that ex
ist will, he said, be filled In most cases
by making permanent the position of
the substitute at present filling the
place. Raising salaries, he says, is out
of tho question, owing to tho board's
depressed finances.
It might be, however, thnt tho gram
mar grades principals will receive mod
erate additions to their salaries, a
small appropriation having been mado
for this purpose.
