SUPERINTENDENT LOOMIS
POWDER QUESTION.
ON
Reducing tho Price of Powder Prac
tically Menus Increasing the
Miners' Wages, He Says, and Ills
Company Cannot Consider Such a
Proposition Present Status of the
Building Trades Strike Patrick
O'Kcefe Assumes the Duties of His
New Position with the Lacka
wanna Company.
This evening tho miners In the em
ploy of the Delawaro, Lackawanna
and Western company; will hold a
meeting In Co-operative hall, West
Seranton, to discuss the powder ques
tion. Superintendent Loomls of tho
m'nlng department of the Delaware,
Ltiekawnnna and Western company
yesterday gave to tho Truth tho fol
lowing Interview on the powder ques
tion: "The cost of mining Is based on tho
price charged miners for powder, and
this company Is In no position to en
tertain uny propositions looking tow
nrd a general Increase In the cost of
producing coal. The market demands
a much cleaner coal tndny than a few
years ngo, and Ita costs us a great
deal more to prepare It. The cost of
machinery and nil appliances has ad
vanced materially, while the price of
coal has not, nnd ns a result, today
there Is but a small margin In the
coal business.
"Reducing the price of powder prac
tically means Increasing the miners
wages, and the company couldjiot con
sider for one minute ti' proposition of
this sort without a re-adjustment of
mining rates.
"There is no doubt that on tho face
of It, It looks nil wrong to charge tho
miner what wo are today for pow
der, but when you take Into consid
eration the allowances made tho min
ers, which are based entirely upon the
number of kegs of powder it takes
to mine a given number of tons of coal,
In different veins and under different
conditions, it is not nearly as serious
a question as would appear on the fftce
of It, or unfair,
"Eventually, I think it might be well
to make a re-adjustment of this wholo
question, but when the price of powder
Is modified the price of mining musl
be adjusted to correspond,
"Our pay rolls Indicate quite clearly
that tho miners have no cause to com
plain of their wages for the time they
work. The serious question Is the
lack of time, and there Is no one thing
that they could do at this time that
would tend to cripple the breaker time
more than to agitate this powder ques
tion, or re-adjustment of rates.
"There Is but one way to treat men
nndthatlsabsolutely fair, without pre
judice or partiality, and I think It is
the Intention of the different mining
companies here to handle the men on
this basis, but, as stated before, when
It comes to a question of entertaining
any propositions that will tend to In
crease the cost of coal ve cannot en
tertain it for one minute at this time."
The Building Trades' Strike.
The only new feature In the strike
situation yesterday wns tho dropping
from the list of one of the parsons
who have been boycotted. No particu
lar reason wns assigned for this action
though It was probably shown U: those
in charge that the person had been
done an Injustice.
Affairs have now reached such a
stage nnd each side have grown o
thoroughly accustomed to the present
state of things that It Is difficult to
believe that a strike Is really In pro
gress. All work that Is to be done
Is being done either by members of the
Exchange or the carpenters them
selves. Public Interest In tho struggle
has waned to a great degree nnd the
strike Is no longer the subject of ani
mated conversations on the streets.
A doubt exists as to whether the
boycott has been effective or not. The
merchants, who have been placed on
the list, maintain that they have not
felt any Inconvenience yet.
O'Keefe Has Arrived.
Patrick O'Keefe, the recently ap
pointed chief special agent, or head of
the detective bureau of tho Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western railroad
company, arrived In the city yesterday.
He will assume his office In a day or
two, when ofPce room Is made for him.
Mr. O'Keefe was formerly with the
Illinois and Central Railroad com
pany. Like most of tho new heads of
department of the Lackawanna read,
Mr. Keefe Is a tall and heavy man,
affable, but strikingly modest with
reference to his brilliant career as a
railroad detective.
When seen by a Tribune man yester
day regarding the policy of his man
agement of his department ho stated
ho was Hot ready to give any state
ment?. Sandy Stlllwcll will be under
Mr. O'Keefe nnd will be n valuable
assistant to him.
They Are Still Surveying.
It Is said that the route of the pro
posed new locomotive road over the
Mooslc mountain Is not satisfactory to
tho management of the Delaware and
Hudson company and tha: further sur
Mjys have been ordered on the eas
side. The civil engineers conversant
with the situation have from V.u lln.:
said that tho only feasible pUi Is tha.
of tunnellnc.
A short tunnel about seven-eighths
of a mile In length would be far pre
ferable to the attempt to cross the
heights by a zigzag road, hut tho beBt
method of all to adopt would bo to
build the long tunnel proposed by tho
Erie. Heavy grades are both expen
sive and dangerous. Honesdale Citi

This and That.
Master Car Builder Cnndeld, of tho
Lackawanna car shops, returned to tho
city yesterday from a trip to tho west.
D. U. Caldwell, the new general truf

Oonernl Superintendent Ttussell of

Amos Turner, of South Easton, has
been appointed master mechanic of tho
Lehigh and Easton and Amboy divi
sions of the Lehigh Valley railroad
and will have charge of tho company's

accept the position of superintendent
of motive power on tho Long Island
railroad.
Superintendent Du Pup, of the Mor
ris nnd Essex division of tho Lacka
wanna road, says: "The new man
agement will adopt n scheme to purify
the air in IJergen tunnel, because of
the commuters' complaints of gas. It
Is proposed to purify by pumps oper
ated by electricity. Plans are being
made now for this purpose."
It is said tho Lackawanna road Is
negotiating for the erection of a new
station nt Broad street, Newark. It
will probably bo erected on the site
of tho present station, which Is regard
ed as an eyesore by all railroad men,
who say that It is surprising that the
old management never made any ef
fort to rebuild or remodel It. A larger
revenue is derived from the Newark
station than any other on the division.

ment from Various Sources Dur
ing the Last Fiscal Year.

What Not to Say.
Do not Fay, "I can't eat." Take
Hood's Sarsaparllla and say I am hun
gry nil the time, and food never hurts
m?.
Never say to your friends tint you
are as tired In the morning as at night.
If they happen to bo sharp they will
tell you Hood's Sarsaparllla cures that
tired feeling.
Do not say, "My face Is full of pimp
les." You are qulto likely to bo told
by some one "There's no need of that,
for Hood's Sarsaparllla cures pimples."
It Is improper and unnecessary to
say, "My health Is poor nnd my blood
Is bad." Hood's Sarsaparllla will give
you good blood, and good health will
follow as a natural consequence.

STAMP IS NOT NECESSARY.
Recent Decision of Commissioner
Wilson.
Commissioner Wilson, of tho inter
nal revenue treasury department, has
recently decided that the form of as
signment on the back of a certlflcata
of stock, authorizing the secretary of
a corporation to transfer the samo on
books of a company Is not a power
of nttomey within the meaning of tho
Internal revenue law, and does not
renutre a 23 cent stamp.
In rendering this decision, tho com
missioner says: "In this ense the
secretary of the corporation cannot
be said to bo tho ngont or attorney for
the transfer of tho stock, ns the effect
of tho Instrument Is only to give tho
secretary authority to do nn net which
ho Is required to do by tho bylaws of
tho corporation, when properly author
ized, just as tho cashier of a bank
Is required to pay a check when tho
check Is properly signed nnd presented
for payment."
Therefore, this Instrument would only
bo taxable as a transfer of stock nt
tho rate of 2 cents for each $10Q or
fraction thereof of tho par value of
said stock.

Forever memorable as the scene of

patriot army during tho dark winter
of 1777-177S. It Is located on tho main
line of the Philadelphia and Rending
railway about 25 miles from Philadel
phia. The stone house occupied by
General Washington as his headquar

lutionary days and the line of en
trenchments thrown up by the "Hog
ged Continentals" may still bo poen,
as well as tho ruins of the ancient
forge from which the plnce derives Its
name. The locality Is also noted for
the natural beauty of the scenery sur

railway sell excursion tickets from
Philadelphia and run frequent trains
to and from Valley Forge.
