The initiative townrd forwnrdlng a
relief movement for the families ot the
Lacknwanna county soldiers with the
Thirteenth regiment nnd for the sol
illers themselves, developed at last
night's meeting of the bourd of trade.
Many poisons not members of the
board were present. President Keller
was directed to appoint n committee of
nine persons who will prosecute the
work Independent of the board.
Uy invitation Itev. It. V. Y. Pierce,
acting pastor of the Penn Avenue Hnp
tlst church, was present unit addressed
tho gathering. He suggested that any
organization formed should be auxil
iary to the National Hellef commis
sion or Its Pennsylvania branch. He
stated that such men as Hev. Dr.
Henry McCook, of Philadelphia; John
11. Converse, of the Haldwiu Locomo
tive works; George H. Thomas, gen
eral mnnager for Drexel & Co.; George
D. McCrcary, the Now York dry goods
merchant, and others equally well
known were ut the head of the move
ment which had been approved by the
president and his cabinet.
The National Hellef association In
cluded Levi P. Morton among Its pa
trons and would next meet tit his ofllce.
It proposed an alliance with the Hed
Cross society, It being intended that
the hitter's work should bo with the
sick and wounded nt tho front, tho
National organization to direct all
other lines of woik.
Mr. Pierce offered several well re
ceived suggestions for adoption whether
an alliance wns made with the na
tional movement or not. There should
be n committee on roster, to keep nn
accurate list of the Thirteenth's sol
diers on the field and their depend
ants nt homo; a Itcd Cross committee,
to act with the society of that nume
or to be informed as to the sick nnd
wounded: n correspondence committee,
to follow the movements of the regi
ment and act us a medium of com
munication between tho soldiers and
their correspondents; a literary com
mittee, to forward reading matter; a
finance committee, to keep the organ
ization supplied with funds.
GKNKHAL SFGGIiSTIONS.
Among a number of general sugges
tions Mr. Pierce suggested a depart
ment of co-operation to provide for
nld from the Grand Army of tho He
public posts, Sons of Veterans, Ameri
can Mechanics, Women's Hellef corps,
Henevolent secret societies and other
organizations: a womnn's auxiliary de;
partment, a membership fund depart
ment, n patriotic bazaar or fair depart
ment and a regimental tent depart
ment, tho intter to provide for tho or
ganization's tent on tho field to bo In
charge of Scranton newspaper men.
Itev. George K. Guild wns also pres
ent by Invitation to supplement any
suggestions that might be made by
Mr. Pierce. Mr. Guild offered an earn
est plea for immediate action along
some line. The call was one of duty
and humanity: duty, because those at
the front were representatives of those
nt home; humanity, because the war
was not one of conquest, self-defense
or revenge.
A motion wns mnde by Captain TV.
A. May, ex-presldcnt of the board, that
the matter of plan be referred to a
special committee of nine, not neces
sarily members of tho board, nnd of
which President Kollcr nnd Secretnry
Atherton should be members. An
amendment offered by Colonel F. L.
Hitchcock was accepted and added to
Captain May's motion. The amend
ment was that the committee have
power to act at once along the lines of
un plan It might decide upon. The
motion wns then adopted.
President Keller announced that he
would name the committee on or be
fore Wednesday. He will choose rep
resentative and prominent men from
each section of the city, from Cnrbon
dale and the region south of Scranton.
According to the opinions revealed In
the debate of those present the move
ment will bo on n patriotic and not a
charity basis. Subscriptions will be
solicited through the committee and
the newspapers as soon ns the former
Is organized. The committee will then
prosecute the work with vigor and
without being tied to any organization
or religious sect.
Quite a quantity of the usual kind of
board of trade business was transacted
In addition to promoting the relief
movement.

Judged from the following which ap

nro greatly applauded, and the show Is
well worth a visit."
