LIVE NEWS OF THE
INDUSTRIAL WORLD
MEN AT HAMPTON AND HYDE
TAJIK MINES QUIT WORK.
Thy Have Somo Grievances Which
They Propose to Lay Before Super
intendent IiOomls Officials o the
Company Say the Collieries Havo
Been Shut 3)own for Repairs.
Make-up of the D., L. W. & Board
for Today Odds and Ends of
News of a General Nature.
The drivers nnd runners nt the
Hampton and Hyde Park collieries,
operated by the Delaware, Lackawanna
nnd Western company, have quit work
anl as a result both collieries arc Idle.
When a reporter called at the super
intendent of coal department's ofllce
yesterday, the Information was gleaned
that the demand for coal was light,
and In consequence the various col
lieries are shut down for repairs al
ternately. This same Information has
been given out on several occasion1",
when the Dodge, Taylor and other col
lieries have been shut down, but it has
been learned from a tellable source
that the same grievance exists among
the men at the Hampton and Hyde
Park mines that caused the necessary
shut-downs at the Dodge and Taylor
mines recently, and unless te condi
tions are modified the company will
havo a general strike to deal with.
The trouble lies in the fact that the
company Is working the drivers and
runners ten hours a day and are pay
ing them wages for eight hours' work
When the demand for coal was at its
height, the men worked ten houis a
day and receUed ten hours' pay, but
owing to the mild weather the woik
Ing time was reduced to eight hours
yet the drivers complain that during
the day they uete Kept waiting for
cars, and nt quitting time, when cars
were supplied, they were compelled
to work overtime to get out the coal.
For this ovei time they got no com
pensation. Another argument used by the run
ners employed at the Hampton is that
the runnels in other mines are receiv
ing $1.45 per day, while they receive
but $1.37 for ten houis' work. The
team drivers, who now leoeivo $1.1S
and $1.27 per day for driving "twos"
and "threes" demand $1.37, us paid in
other collieries.
The Hampton men held a meeting
In Flanagan's hall on Luzerne street,
Tuesday evening, and decided to stay
out the next day. When the miners
assembled at fie head of the shatt
Wednesday to go to work, they found
a notice posted that the collieries were
shut down for repairs.
A committee waited on Inside Fore
man Dagger, of the Hampton mines,
who was unable to give them any
satisfaction, and the men refused to
resume work, and usseit that they will
stay out until their demands are
granted. The employes of the Hyde
Park shaft, who have about the same
grievances, refused to go to work es
terday, and in conscquenco the mines
was Idle during the day.
An agreement was reached yesterday
that the employes of each colliery ap
point a committee, and that they
Jointly visit Superintendent Loomls
and present their grievances. A meet
ing was held in Flanagan's hall last
evening for the puipose of outlining
the several grievances to the commit
tee, nnd to arrange them in writing for
presentation.
The matter will undoubtedly be re
ferred to the district superintendent for
adjustment. All the employes are Idle
in consequence of the shut-down.
This and That.
It Is said that six Lehigh Valley
crews from Sayro will be sent to
Hazleton after Jan. 1 to work on tho
local division.
Railroad men say that the Hones
dale yard will contatn from BOO to 600
cars most of the time after tho new
branch begins operation.
The construction train on the Lacka
wanna railroad has picked up over 700
tons of old Iron from along the road,
which Ins been sold nnd shipped west.
F. W. Patterson, of Pittsburg, Is In
this region endeavoring to secure about
fifteen muckers for rlew shafts. He
says thousands of men can secure work
In the soft coal operations around
Pittsburg.
The contract miners who went on
strike nt tho Coleralno colliery near
Hazleton, two weeks ugo, for an in
crease In tho price of yardage, have
returned to work. Tho men were
granted no concessions.
The Lehigh Valley Coal company has
about completed the work of erecting
fences around its Laurel Hill and the
No. 40 collieries. Hereafter no persons
except those having business nt the
collieries will bo allowed Inside tho
fences.
The month of November was the
most prosperous In lecent years In the
history of coal mining In the Lehigh
region. All the coal companies oper
ated their collieries steadily and the
aggregate sum paid out to tho men
during the past week is something
like $263,000.
An order for seven hundred carloads
of lumber has been given by tho Lack
awanna railroad to Charles W. Det
rlck, of Spraguevlllo. The order Is to
be used on mines and roads. Mr. Det
rlck has until next June to get out tho
order, and has a force of over twenty
men now nt work upon It.
COMMITTED TO COUNTY JAIL.
Herbert Taylor, of New Haven, Sent
to Local Bastile.
Herbert Tayjor, a 12-year-old boy,
was yesterday sent to tho county Jail,
by Mayor Molr, In default of $500 ball,
In which ho was held on the charge
of larceny.
About n week ago, ho was brought
to police hcadquarteis In the city hall,
by Edward Weiss and Clark Lowry.
Weiss keeps a store at 114 River street,
nnd found the boy In the act of steal
ing arlous articles lying around tho
place. At his hearing, tho next morn
ing, the lioy said his name was Her
bert Taylor and that he lived In New
Haven, Conn.
The mayor held him In $500 ball and
sent inquiries to New Haven, concern
ing the llttlo fellow. Word was yes
terday received that he was a runaway
and n general ne'er-do-well. Th
New Haven police authorities wished
to have nothing to do with the cose,
nnd accordingly tho boy was yesterday
taken to the county Jail.
THE HOSPITAL REMEMBERED.
The employes of the Colliery Engineer
contributed $125 towards the Lacka
wanna hospital yesterday.
This Is about the largest amount that
has been given through the Introduc
tion of a miniature cradle, with an ap
propriate Inscription asking assistance
for the children's ward. The money
was collected through the assistance
of Miss Lizzie Faust.

THE MAYOR'S OPINION.
Believes the Water Question Will Be
Amicably Adjusted.
Mayor Molr believes that tho water
question will be as ho teims It, "ami
cably ndjusted," before long nnd that
this will be accomplished through tin
medium of tho committee recently ap
pointed by select council to txamlni'
Into tho Justness of Mi. Melvln's or
dinance establishing water raits In the
city.
"I am confident," he nald. yesterday,
"that this acrimonious argument and
debate will soon pass over and that
Mr. Heianton will leallze the reason
ableness of confining with this com
mittee. The question has been decid
ed time and again bv the highest
courts in the land that municipalities
havo the right and power to fix their
water rates.
"I think, therefore, thjt Mr. Pet.in
ton will realize that the city has the
law on Its side and will confer with
tho committee and If he thinks th"
water rates as fixed to be unreason
able, to convince the committee of this
fact nnd suggest those which he would
consider reasonable Dy this means
a mutual understanding could b- ar
rived at. which would, no doubt, be
satisfactory to all concerned. At least.
If he does not confer with the commit
tee, ho should."

Mrs. De Hooven Brings Her Spouse
to Alderman Kasson's Office.
An odd Incident happened In Alder
man Kasson's office yesterday, and ons
Which is not often duplicated. It con
sisted of a wife bringing her own hus
band up to answer to a charge pro
feiied by her.
This In Itself would not be so strange,
were It not for the fnct that the hus
band In question was supposed to be a
bloodthirsty and ferocious wlfe-bcnter,
and would not naturally be considered
a very tractable person.
The facts of the case arc as follows:
Last week Mis, De Hooven came be
foio Aldeiman Kasson and swore out
a warrant for tho airest of her hus
band, whom she charged with assault
ing and beating her.
Constable Fliesteln took tho Wanant
and tiled to serve It. He could not
find the man, however, and no further
action was taken. Last night Mrs. De
Hooven appeared at the office with her
husband, whom she had brought along
to answer to the charges she had pie
fei red.
De Hooven, it seems, however, is a
very decent, quiet sort of a man ex
cept when he is In drink, and then he
Invailably Io-,es control of himself. The
affair was amicably settled in the office.
iy Do Hooven signing a temperance
pledge and promising to be good.

Mayor Moir Says He Is Heartily ia
Favor of It.
Mayor Molr yesterday expressed him
self as being heaitlly In favor of a
cm few ordinance, such as was spoken
of before the Green Ridge Women's
club, Monday afternoon, by Dr. H. V.
Logan.
"I used to thlnlc the movement Puri
tanical," said his honor, "but I now
believe there Is an urgent necessity for
such a measute. The plan has been
successfully tried In other cities nnd
has proted effectual. Tho age limit
would probably have to be fixed at
sixteen years and the time limit up to
which children can remain on the
streets could piobably be best fixed, as
Dr. Logan suggests, at 9 p. rn. in the
w Inter and 10 p. m. In the summer.
"Some people bay there would be
difficulty In enforcing such an ordi
nance If passed, but It has proven veiy
easy of enforcement In cities where It
has been adopted. There can be no
bound arguments advanced against th.p
proposition, nnd the statement made
that it is an infringement of tho lib
erties of the people Ih absurd. If a
curfew law In this city would save only
one girl or boy fiom moral ruin It Is
worthy of adoption "

The necessity of such a feature has
long been apparent and the new wait

patronized on rainy and stormy days,
when to stand ln tho open for a car
means a liability of catching at least
a severe cold and perhaps something
more serious.
As It will be Impossible for.thoBe
