Soo Hoo Ou, a Scranton street laun
dryman, is their client. He has been
in the United States for twenty-two
years and Is desirous to make a short
visit to tho home of his fathers In
Canton. One of tho conditions of the
Geary act Is that a Chinaman leaving
the country cannot return without
having secured a permit before de
barking, and an essential to the secur
ing of this permit Is his ability to
prove that he leaves a wife and child,
parents or property to the value of
$1,000 behind him.
Soo Hoo Ou hasn't wife or child,
parents or property here, but he has
yen In plenty and consequently was
able to meet the requirements of tho
law by having four of hlB countrymen

of $250 each.
The certificate of his registration and
fulfillment of all requirements of the

Attorney F. E. Beers, of counsel for
the Men's union, Is preparing to bpgln
prosecutions undor the new tippling
house ordinance, Just as soon as it
Is made operative by publication for

He said, yesterday, to a Tribune re
porter that the Men's union believes

the union, Mr. Beers says, will stamp
out the speakeasy evil In short order.

UNION OF D., L & W.
MINE EMPLOYES
MEN MET LAST NIGHT TO CON
SIDER THE MATTER.
Referred for Discussion to Meetings
to Be Held at tho Different Col
lieries Reports Will Be Presented
with Reference to the Peeling on
the Subject at Anothov Mass Meet
ing to Bo Held on Aug. 15 Mem
bers of Mine Workers' Union Left
tho Meeting.
In Meant' hall, West Scranton, last
night a representative meeting of the
employes of tno Delaware,. Lackawan
na and Western mines was hold for
the purpose of considering the advisa
bility of forming a mlnu workers'
union of tho men employed In and
about the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western mines of this city and Its
vicinity.
After some discussion as to the ad
visability and necessity of such a
union, It was decided to hold meectlngs
at the various collieries of that com
pany on or before Aug. 10, reports of
the opinions of the miners to be pre
sented at a mass meeting to be held
In Hears" hall on Aug. IB.
There was a big crowd of mine work
ers assembled in the hall at 7.45 when
W. T. Williams, of the West Side,
called the meeting to order. He said
the object they had met for would be
stated later and suggested that the
first step to be taken was the election
of a chairman. He nominated T. T.
Morgan, a company hand at the Belle
vuo mine, for that position.
Benjamin James, an organizer for
the United Mine Workers, was also
suggested for chairman, but was de
clared to bo lnelllglble, for the reason
that he Is not employed by the Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western com
pany. Daniel Coleman wa3 then nomi
nated and at this point Richard Rob
erts arose and requested all those
present who were members of the
United Mine Workers of America to
leave the hall and attend a meeting
which he said would be held In the
French Roof hall, on Washburn street.
LEFT THE HALL.
A large number of those present left
the hall, but upwards of 150 remained.
They were a representative body of
men and their remarks during the
meeting showed that they are thought
ful and earnest and conservative as
well. They were for the most part
men of families who have homes of
their own or are In the process of ac
quiring homes to which they can read
their titles clear.
After the withdrawal T. T. Morgan
was elected ohalrman, and In assuming
the duties of that position he said they
had met to consider whether or not It
would be advisable for the mine em
ployes of the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western company to form a union.
Labor ought to receive a fair recom
pense for Its toll, Mr. Morgan said,
and labor and capital ought to be on
friendly terms. It Is to the advantage
of both to have such a condition of
affairs. Capital ought not to treat la
bor harshly and labor ought to be
honest and fair In its dealing with
capital.
Mr. Morgan then went on to say
that the officials of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western company re
fused to treat with the Mine Workers'
union as such, but expressed a willing
ness to meet and discuss the griev
ances of their own employes at any
time. To meet the olllclals In this
matter this union of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western mine em
ployes was proposed. He gave It as his
opinion that they knew their own
grievances better than anybody else
and were In a better por'tlon to consid
er and discuss them wisely than men
from the west, who know nothing
about the anthracite coal industry.
TO CALL MEETINGS.
After some general discussion it was
moved that meetings bo called of the
employes of every Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western mine hereabouts
for tho purpose of ascertaining the
views of the men with reference to
forming such a union as was suggest
ed In the opening remarks of ths
chairman. The motion was adopted
and it was decided that these meet
ings be held on or before Aug 10,
and that the reports from the meet
ings be received at another mass meet
ing to be held In Mears' hall on Aug.
15.
T. C. Davis, of Taylor, who went
inrouch the strike or istt, made n
most Interesting address In which he
referred to the necessity of organiza
tion, but deplored the strikes which
have brought hunger and want to th
mine workers of this region. He drew
a most vivid picture of the misery the
strike of '77 caused, and then asked
his hearers most Impressively, "Do
you want to come to that again?" He
urged wisdom and thoughtfulness In
dealing with tho propositions that now
confront the mine workers hereabouts.
W. T. Williams spoke at soma
length about the objects of the meet
ing. "If It is to our Interests to havo a
union of Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western men by all means let us have
it," said Mr. Williams. "We ought
to know more about what we want
nnd the way we want It than the men
from the soft coal regions who ari
now among us. A strlko of a general
nature In the anthracite coal region?
would be a serious matter, for It
We are now receiv
ing shipments of
fancy home-grown
berries in fine con
dition for canning.
Very large, and of
fine flavor. Head

would result In turning our markets
over to tho man who sells soft coal.
People mtiBt have coal and if they
cannot get the anthracite they will
use the bituminous. It would taka
years for the anthraclto Industry to
recover from the effect of such n
blow."
MEN APPOINTED.
The following were appointed by ths
meeting to call meetings at the col
lieries to consider the matter of a
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
union:

Iloldm-ltkhard Nichols, John l'rlcr, Jr.
Committees will be nppolnted later
for the collieries not In the above list,
Chairman Morgan announced.
In closing the meeting, Mr. Morgnn
said that the withdrawal of some of
the mine workers from the meeting
would Indicate that they do not be
lieve In the Idea of a union of Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western men
and It would be a good thing for the
men generally to talk over and weigh
the reasons for and against It. He was
convinced that a union of Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western men was
the only proper thing at this time and
he believed this would be nppparent
to the men the mors they considered
it.
"Our idea," ho sild In conclusion,
"of conducting our own Affairs Is
very mugh better In every way, I
think, thnn having It done by western
men for us."
The men who left the hall when In
formed that another meeting would be
held In the French Boof hall on
Washburn street, did not go to 'that
hall, but gathered In the open plot op
posite Clarke Bros' stores, on North
Main avenue.
The speakers were Fred Delcher, of
Ohio, and Benjamin James, district or
ganizer of the miners' union. They
urged the men to Identify themselves
with the movement for Increased
wages and shorter hours. The an
nouncement was made that another
mass meeting would be held nt the
same place this evening, commencing
at T.30 o'clock.

Qu.,kt The Popular Punch Cigar, 10a.
SAY PENNSYLVANIA
IS NOT INTERESTED
RAPID TRANSIT ROAD IS EN
TIRELY INDEPENDENT.
Local Directors of the New Trolley
Lino Give Emphatic Denial to the
Story That Their Road Is Being
Built for the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company and Explain Away
Certain Circumstancos That Gave
Rlso and Color to the Persistent
Rumor.
If the Pennsylvania Railroad com
pany is planning to come into Scran
ton It Is carrying out Its plans with
a secrecy that defies detection. About
every other day for tho past month
rumor has had It that this or that
circumstance had occurred toi give
practically (positive corroboration to
the story. Every time the circum
stance was Inquired Into It proved to
be a fake or else was explained nn
some other hypothesis than that tho
Pennsylvania company was coming
Into Scranton.
One rumor that refuses to down
Is that the now rapid transit trolley
road between Scranton and Wllkcs
Barre Is nothing more or less than a
prospective branch of the Pennsyl
vania that will permit It to come Into
Scranton without sharing profits with
Its present connecting roads.
Certain facts In connection with the
construction of the new trolley road
tend to loan color to this story. In
tho first place the construction Is such
as Is htirdly demanded, one would
casually say, toy a road that was to
accommodate trolley cars. The rails
are of 90-pound weight, the bed Is to
be rock-ballasted throughout; brldgea
and culverts are to be of sufficient
strength to enrry the heaviest trafiia
that a steam road handles, the grade
nowhere on the line Is over three per
f-nt. and for practically tho whole
distance the route Is through a pri
vate right of way, purchased at a
largo expense. Besides all this, the
company Is chartered primarily as a
steam road between hero and Pltts
ton, and eventually proposes, so It Is
understood, to extend Its charter
rights, as to steam as haulage power,
on the stretch between Plttston and
Wllkes-Barre.
STORY WITHOUT FOUNDATION.
But In the face of all this the local
directors of tho new rapid' transit
trolley road declare that they do not
know the Pennsylvania Railroad com
pany in any stage of tho deal. Major
T. F. Penman said:
"The story la without any founda
tion In fact. If some circumstances
do tend to give color to tho rumor,
It Is because people do not understand
or appreciate the kind of a trolley
road we propose to Tuulld. We pro
pose to carry passengers from Scran
ton to Wllkes-Barre In forty minutes
and make the return trip In the sam
time. We must do that to hope to
successfully compete with the steim
roads, and to do that It Is necessary
that we have a road that Is first class
In every feature. Our cars will be
quite as large and ao heavy as the
steam road coaches and we hope to be
called upon to run them in trains.
Why should we not have a road equal
ly as good, If not better, In quality
of construction than a steam road?
"I do not deny, but I do not know,
that It will not eventually be a steam
road, as tho rumor has It. If the
Pennsylvania or any other company,
or, In fact, any Individual thinks it
needs the road worse than we do and
has the proper financial foundatloa on
wii'ch to base arguments, we will be
not only willing, but anxious, to open
negotiations. We are In this to make
money. If we can make more money
by selling the road than operating It
ourselves we will sell. But I can say,
positively that, so far as I know, neith
er the Pennsylvania or any other com
pany contemplates buying our road."
Ex-Senator M. E. McDonald, when
spoken to about tho rumor, said:
"There's nothing to it. The only way
the Pennsylvania railroad can figure
In the matter Is through the possibili
ty that we will get a share of Its pas
senger traffic. If the Pennsylvania
wants to turn over Its Scranton pas
sengers to our rapid transit trolley line
we will, of course, gladly take care ot
them."
HE WOULD KNOW.
Colonel C. C. Mattes was asked par
ticularly as to the Pennsylvania com
pany having bought or secured op
tions on land In the vicinity of PJntt
place. "If it has I know nothing about
It," he said, "and I hardly think It
likely that there would be any iea!
estate deals In that neighborhood that
would escape my notice. We have
been negotiating for a little land In

view of having plenty of room for any

pany spoke In a similar strain and all
stated without hesitancy that the ne-v
road Is to bo a trolley road and that
It would be one In fact before many
days.
There Is nothing significant ns to
the rumor In question, In the fact that
the new road was chartered as a steam
road. A steam road has right of emi

electric road and the supreme court
has decided that a steam road can
partially or wholly use electricity as a
