TO TELL PARSONS
THE WHOLE STORY
LOCAL LETTER OARRIE11S' POSI
TION IN ARCHES MATTER.
The President of tho Letter Carriers'
National Association Receives an
Appeal fiom the Central Labor
Union to Uso nis Influence to Have
Only Union Labor Employed on tho
Convention Decorations and from
tho Meagre Information Afforded
He Becomes Misinformed.
The following letter was received yes
terday morning by John H. Phillips,
president of the local branch of tho
Lictter Carilers' association, from Na
tional President John M. Parsons:
Mr John II. Phillips, Scranton, Pa.
Dear Sir nnd Brother: A very strong
committed from tho building trades of
this rlly hae appealed to thu letter car
riers tit Now York, asking that your com
tnltteo nt Scranton do whatever Is possi
ble to prexent the arches being built by
non-union labor Therefore, In behalf of
sour us-soclutes here, I uppcul to jou to
stand bj organized labor in jour city In
the Interest of fait play. This complaint
made ngalnst oui committee's iictlon. If
not rectltltd will cause serious trouble
among our men here, if not disrupt tho
whole paride 1 am nihlsed by Mr
Hnmmes of tho Stone Cutters' union,
that the bulldlnc trades of your city will
not consider the question of expense In
b.nlng onr work done by union men. In
view of these facts 1 hope ou will net
nt once nnd s.ie our whole organiza
tion the disgrace which they will justly
deserw should nnj part of your work bo
done liv nnv but union men of their
trndo without regard to ulllllatlnn with
inn natlonnl organization of labor
Don t ask good union men who bel!eo
In tho principles of organization to tako
nnj pirt In what hits been provided by
those who bae no uso foi us. Show this
letter to whoever ou please, but net
Praternallv.
John M. Parsons.
Tho nboe communication practically
explnlns Itholf and shows that there Is
a sentiment feimentlng among the New
York carriers against the work done on
tho nrches on 'Washington avenue by
non-union men and that they may re
fuse to march under the nrch near tho
review lug stand on "Washington ave
nue. President Phillips, after duo deliber
ation, decided that tho best course to
pursue would be to have a personal
conference with Mr. Parsons and ex
plain to him the committee's position
In the premises. Hp accordingly left
the city Into last evening for Now
Yoik. where ho will confer with Mr.
Parsons today.
Before leaving. Mr Phillips spoke at
some length to a Tribune man and
thoroughly explained tho trouble from
the standpoint of the general commit
tee and the letter carriers.
AIH. PHILLIPS' RTATI5MDNT.
He said, in part: "Tho letter car
tiers of this city nre as good union men
as can be found In the city. As an in
stance of this strong union feeling
among the carriers, we will not wear
n, uniform which has not the union
label upon it. AVhile I sinceiely regret
this unfortunate Incident, jet I do not
see how the general committee or th
letter cnrrlers themselves can bo held
to blame.
"In the first place, the committee had
a eei tain sum to expend nnd they de
sired to gut the worth of their money,
.Mr Richards, tho electrician, put In
the lowest bid and he was awarded tho
contiact for the aich work. The main
poitlon of this work being electilcal,
the question of catpenter work was
ueei glen n thought. Hud I, myself,
or nn of the cnnlers on the commit
tee thought of this matter we would
most ceitalnly have used our intluenoe
to see that only union carpenters wen?
emplojed But the matter was over
looked and can honestly be put down
us nothing short of an oei sight.
"When the committee tllscoerod that
Mr. Hlchatds hud sub-lot the contract
to Prank Mojer, of the Builders' Bx
change, they were, of couise, power
less to pi event it, ns the contract with
BIchatds was already signed When
the matter was agitated b the Car
penters' union and the Central Labor
union it was decldetl by them to le
quost the general committee to have
all futuic woik done by union labor.
This lequcst hns boon lecclved by tho
committee and will be complied with
The work on the reviewing stand has
been let to a firm lecognlzed by the
carpenters us a "fair" firm.
WILL EXPLAIN TO PABSONS
"I am a warm personal filend of Mr.
I'm sons nnd I feel confident that when
lie Icntns both sides of the matter lie
will understand that there has been
no favot shown non-union inbor nnd
thai tho whole nffalr was due to an
'oeislght."
copies of the letter were also re
ceded by some of tho labor lenders on
Saturday evening and were printed In
jeiterday's papers, before Mr. Phillips
j etched the communication
Piesldent Phillips took with him to
New Yoik a letter from the secretary
of the Blectrlclanh' union of this city,
stating that contractor Blchauls has
alwajs employed union electricians
and Hint he lavors union laboi Ho
also has a letter from Mr. Blchntds
to Piesldent Pntsons In which ithe
fotmer htutos that at the time the
contract for the woodwork was awat ti
ed thnt he was not nware that the
ni'-mbprs of the carpenters' unions went
taking woik themselves and that none
of th"m culled on him to bltl on tho
work. He further states that the work

Who Laughed as They Left Him

According to his stutement this pair
of Jackals camo upon him as he lay by

granting him the succor the worst
savage would not deny, they robbed
him und went away laughing nt his

story In a sttnlghtforward, deliberate

Mr. Hunt is a lesldent of Hcrilck
Center nnd on Saturday night about
10 o'clock started to drive homo from
a visit with relatives In Peckvllle.
MET WITH AN ACCIDENT.
How the accitlent occurred is not
known, but it is supposed that his
horse became frightened nt something
near the residence of John Grlesdale,
who lives on the Brie farm nt the
Archbald and Blnkely borough line.
At this point tho Traction people
occupy the embankment side of the
roadway with their tracks, which aro
built upon a trestle This trestllng has
been (Hied in, leaving an embankment
of about six or eight feet The horse,
nttached toft two-wheeled gig, plunged
over this embankment.
Hunt landed under the horse nnd all
night long laid on the ground, his back
broken nnd his face pounded to a Jelly
by the horse's hoofs, tho animal ei
(Ipntly kicking and thrashing to free
himself.
BHCAMB UNCONSCIOUS.
After calling In aln for help, Hunt
became unconst lous. A heavy thunder
storm set in and in a downpour of rain
which followed, Hunt legained con
sciousness nnd again In feeble tones
tried to nttract attention.
Although Grlesdalo's lesldence Is only
a stone's-throw from where the man
lay, he could not make himself heard.
Mr. Gilesdnle, who had been to Peck
vllle, retuined to his home at 11 o'clock
and, upon entering the gate, heard
what lie thought was a groan, and
stood listening seeral minutes, but no
sound i cached him, and he passed Into
the house.
At 2 o'clock Sunday morning two men
passed along on the street car tiack
nnd Hunt made tnery effoit to nttract
their attention. This lie succeeded in
doing, but the men, Instead of assist
ing the unfortunate man, dragged him
fiom under the horse and lobbeil him.
INTENDED GOOD AT FIRST.
One went to the wagon and taking
the cushion from the seat, placed it
on tho ground. Then they laid the man
on It ami coered him with the horse
blanket After a short consultation,
they deliberately robbed Hunt as he
laj on the giound in a dying condition,
helpless and unable to moo hand or
foot
The scoundrels turned his pockets In
side out. ielleliig him of his pocket-
book containing $4 50. They then walked
off, Ienlng him to his fate, turning a
deaf ear to his appeals for them to call
assistance and remove him to a place

HALTED THE FUNERAL.
Christian Scientists Diet Not Call a
Physician and a Burial Permit
Was Wanting.
Margaret, the 6-months-old child of
Mr. and Mrs. Peter -Reiner, of Carter
street, North Scranton, died Friday
morning from an attack of cholera in
fantum. Tho child was ill for a week
previous to its death, but tho services
of -a physician were not enlisted.
According to the statement made to
Coroner Roberts by the mother, tho
doctrines of Christian Scientists wore
applied in tho case, but the hcnllng and
saving powers failed, and death
claimed the innocent child.
The mother explained that during a
recent illness, she became convinced
that physicians killed more patients
than they cured, and dischatged her
attending physician.
he Joined the Chtlstian Alliance and
soon recovered. When the child was
first attacked with the disease they
prayed for Its recovery and it survived,
but praor failed the second time and
tho child died.
Owing to its death being peaceful
and without the usual convulsions, the
mother believed that God wanted the
child nnd would not listen to her
piayerful appeals.
The coroner docs not believe In faith
cures, and will hold an Inquest The
funeral was announced for yesterday,
but owing to Dr. Roberts' refusal to
grant a burial certificate, It was nec
tsarily postponed. Tho matter will
be reported to the hoard of health and
some legal action may be taken in the
case.
Coroner Roberts performed an au
topsy on the lomalns last evening and
tllscoveied the cause of death to lie
marasmus.
He empanelled the following Jury
who viewed the remains last night:
John Morgan, G A, Williams, Frank
Foster, George AV. Davis, Ed. Mninn
and Jloigan Morgans. An Inquest will
be held on Thursday evening in the

Fear of the consequences of an ap
plication of the Vnughnn bill to the
Langstaff-Kelly contest, coupled with
the apathy of tho contestant since the

mpans have been cut off,
has mused the petitioners to club to

carry the contest to a termination.

ndorn the Langstaft petition nnd who
tinder tho new law, as Atternevf I. if.

costs If probable cause for the contest

Ing tecontly nnd Informed that thrf
sinews of war had been exhausted and

coming the fight would have to drop
The attorneys In the case gave an es
timate of whnt tho expenses yet to be
met would likely be and the petltloneis
were told thnt If they did not make
ptovlslon to meet thpm, the contest
would have to bo allowed to go by
default.
The petitioners did not hesitate long
In subscribing the required nmount
One of their number stated to a Tri
bune reporter Inst night that the
amount wns $1,600. "The ticli men who
nre on the petition treated us white,"

apiece. Some of them were assessed as
high as $1G0 and a number paid $."0.
I understand that all but two or three
have paid up. If wo don't have any
more to pay we'll be perfectly satis
fied." The cost of the contest will run up
to somewhere between $C,000 and
$100,000
