TROUBLE AT THE
AIT. PLEASANT MINES
IVUNNEBS, DRIVEItS AND DOOR
TENDEHS QUIT WORK.
Statement of the Causes That Led to
This Action Upon Their Tart Men
In Charge of the Colliery Say That
the Workmen Are- Well Treated.
They Will Re Given Until, To
Morrow Morning to Return to
Work If They Do Not Their
Placc3 Will Be Filled.
The runners, drivers und doorttnders
employed In the ML Pleasant mine,
which was tecently purchased by L I
Puller, quit work yesterday morning
on account of an alleged grievance with
the company. Tor some time the work
men employed In the mine liavo had
trouble with water In the Surface vein
In what i" known us the New shaft,
which has heretofote yielded about 175
cars of coal per day, causing a drop
to about tin ty cars.
The output of the mine Is fioni r.00
to C20 ears each day for eight hours'
work In both the Main and the New
Muift, and In order to keep up the regu
lar output, it was necessary for the
otllclals to thiow mote work Into the
Main shaft. The drivers have been
driving fives," or. in other words
making live trips each working day of
nltio hours, and sometimes they did not
drive that mnny, as tho miners do not
alwas fill the regular number of cats
assigned to the different elumbeis.
Since the trouble has ntlsen with tho
water In the New shaft, additional
woik has been made fot the miners,
driven and dooi tenders, but it will last
only until such time as the icpairs 1 an
be ,nn de. The company pays the men
for nine hours' work, and Instead of
them w 01 king overtime, many of them
are out nearl every day before "all
over," as they tetm It nround the
mines.
SCAIiU OF WAGES.
The scale of wages paid Is as follows:
Pllst giaile mlneis, $1.31; -econil guide,
51.13; team drlveis, SI. 32; chamber driv
ers. $1.18, second giaile dilvel.s, $1 OV
helpots and flm grade doortendets, 77
rent; second guile, 60 centsfills scale
Is for nine limns' woik and If they
woik overtime they get the hour late,
and eai h out- winks an hour more each
dav than the employes of the bleaker
woik, on account of the neeesslt of
blinking the coal to the suifnce after
the mlnets aie thioiigh with the cut
ting and loading part of the work.
The men claimed that the additional
work reejulted of them was an imposi
tion and lefuwt-d to go In the mine e-
teiday inoinlng. The woik was pir
fnrimd b the miners, laboieis and
company men, and while the output
was not quite up to the usual uumbir
of cms, the mlneis, lnboiers, company
hands and bleaker bos continued thelt
woik as usual.
The majority of the miners and lab
orers are men of families and do not
want to pnttieipate In any tiouble that
will thiow them out ot employment
and the ofticl.ils of th company will
not mako any eono -sion aside from
wnat has aheady 1 een made.
They claim that the men are treated
better than in tho majoiity of places
having been Idle but one day In the
past thtee months. Resides, the com
pany fui Pishes them with all the oil
and cotton ued, which Is a saving ot
about 1" per cent, of their wages and
they already concede them nn extra
hour every day moie than the breaker
employes receive and they aie paid
accordingly.
POPULAR WITH THE MEN.
Rupeiintendent James Nenle. who has
been connected with the works but 11
short time, Is popular with the em
ployes and does not anticipate much
trouble as. a result of the movement.
A piomlnent official connected with
the company stated to The Ttlbune rep
resentative last evening that tho men
will be given until tomortow inoinlng
to letuin to work on the same basis
that has hei. tofore existed, and that
the company simply elolies them to
dtlve ns many tilps in the nine hours
as Is necessary to haul out tho coal
used eaeli d.i. If they do not return
to woik their places will be filled by
new employs who apply for work.
They have hi en fulr with the men he
said, nnd they expect them to be tea
sonable with them.
The employes who have oult work
muy inlluonc the miners und laborers
to jcln them and in that event It will
bo necessary for the opeiators to shut
down, hut they do not anticipate such
a movement.
What the outcome of the matter will
he cannot he determined, but the offi
cials of the company are determined
In their statement to employ new handj
to do tho work unless the men return
tc work tomotrow morning.

NEW PRESIDENT
IS IN THE CITY
INSPECTING TARTY ARRIVED
HERE LAST EVENING.
W. H. Trucsdale, Head of Delawaie,
Lackawanna and Western Railroad
Company, Fays His First Visit to
tho City Wherein the Company's
Central Offices Are Located.
Brands the Rig Combine Story ns
"Ninety-Nine Per Cent. Pure
Moonshine."
iPfesldent W. H. Truesdule, of tho
Delawaie. Lackawanna and Weslctn
Railroad company, arrived here last
evening at 7.03 o'clock on the tour of
inspection of the company's property
which he enteied upon last Tuesday
morning.
His arrival here was one day ahead
of schedule time. On Tuesday he went
dliect from New York to Buffalo, re
maining there over night nnd coming
back us far us Blnghamtnn on Wed
nesday, spending the entire day In
looking over the western division.
Yesteiday was to have been spent In
n trip over the KUca division nnd to
day was to be given up to the Oswego
division, but he covered them both In
one day by going out one lino and com
ing back on the other, spanning tho
termini, by using the New York Cen
tial tracks from Oswego to Utlca.
This morning he will inspect the
Bloomsburg dlv Islon, leaving for North
umberland at 7.30 o'clock. When
Northumberland Is reached the new
president will have completed a tour
over every one of the company's lines
excepting the Richfield Springs branch,
which was given the go-by for the
piesent.
WHO ACCOMPANIED HIM.
General Manager W. P. Hallstead and
Chief Engineer James Archbald accom
panied Mr. Truesdale throughout the
entile trip. Division superintendents
nccompartied the paity over their re
spective dlv Mon. Train Dispatcher
George M. Hallstead went up to Blng
hntnton on a special train yesterday
afternoon and returned with the in
specting party in the evening.
Only a few station hands were about
the platform when the mfldent step
ped from the "Oswego," and accom
panied by Colontl Hallstead to hit
father's pilvate carriage, which was
waiting ti. take him to the Jermjn.
Genet al Manager Hallstead walked on
ahead to his home.
Mr. Tiuesdale very graciously ac
corded a Tribune man an lnleiview
before leaving the station to go to the
hotel.
When asked to verify the story of
the billion dollar combine sent out from
New York to Wednesday's papers, ho
laughed somewhtt derisively and re
mat ked: "The stoivls not true. Ninety-nine
per cent, of It is pure moon
shine." To .1 question us to whether or not he
had In mind any plums affecting Scran
ton, Mr Tiuesdale stated that he was
not ptepared as yet to speak on that
subject; he would first ptefer to look
over the ground here and rorm per
sonal observation and acquaint himself
with the condition. Ho said he ex
pects to spend this afternoon looking
over the sors.
IT'S A PINE ROAD.
When nskd what was the general
impression of the Lackavvnnna he had
gained from his survey so far, he an
swered, with a good deal of emphasis:
"It's a fine road. It certainly is a
fine toad."
Mr. Truesdale Is a tall, well built
man of midelle age, has brown hair
and mustache being only slightly
streaked with gray. He has pleaF.ant,
strong features and anywhere would
be recognized at a glance as "some
body" His gentleirianllnes.s is worthy
of note.
DE ORO CHALLENGES KEOGH.
The Cubnn Will Make a Try for the
Championship.
The following is taken from tho Pitts
bug Despatch.
"Alfreel De Oro, the pool player, has
challenged Jerome Keogh, of Scran
ton, to a contest at 15-ball pool for a
stake of $300 As a guarantee of his
good lJlth In the challenge, De Oro
has posted a $.230 forfeit with L. Ben
singer "
As Id ogh is In Chicago, It could
not be learned whether or not he has
os yet received the challenge Theie
Is no question but that he will accept
it nnd it Is very likely the game will
take place In this city. Keoph le
cently defeated De Oro in an exhibition
game in New Yoik.
TO CARE FOR THE PARKS.
Mr.
Keller Would Seize Upon
the
Ward Appropriations.
At tonight'B meeting ot the estimates
committee. Chairman Keller will make
a proposition to take 73 per cent, ot
the aggregate ward appropriations and
transfer It to the Improvement of parks.
This would mean an additional $12,000
for the parks, or a total of $16,400.
It is feared that even If tho estimates
committee should adopt Mr. Keller's
Idea there would be some slight oppo
sition to It when tho matter comes be
foie councils.
