MEN'S UNION IS
AGAIN ACTIVE
Causes the Arrest of a Number of
Alleged Violators of the Liquor
Laws Accused Entered Ball.
After resting on their oars for awhile,
the members of the Men's union have
ngnln started hostilities on the speak
easies, and Saturday marked the or
rests of eight proprietors of tippling
houses. With one exception the war
rants were Issued by Aldermen Millar
nnd Howe, and the parties upon whom
thev were served were all held In t.'OO
ball. They are ns follows: Annie Mc
Unle, ,139 South Ninth street; M. J.
Gllbrlde, 1819 Brick street; John Mof
llt, 1C:.0 Brick street; Thomas Coyne,
1777 Brick street; Stephen Klnnaghan,
1717 Luzerne street: Thomas Flana
ghan, 1717 Luzerne street; Thomas Ger
rlty, CSC Broadway; Abner Hnbernock,
Olyphant.
Acent Robert Wilson, of the Men's
union, appeared as prosecutor In all
the cases. Several more warrants were
Issued which have not as yet been
served. Many of the parties arrested
have already been arrnlgned before
Mayor Molr, and heavily lined for
keeping speakeables. Of those arrested
so far, Stephen Flunaghan, of 1717 Lu
zerne street, Is one of the most nota
ble. Ho was one of the first men ar
rested In the mayor's crusade, and
was given a bearing and fined $75. He
continued keeping an unlicensed place,
It is said, however, and this resulted
in his arrest by the Men's union.
Kilbride and Coyne entered ball be
foie Aldermnn Fidler, and Mollltt
went before Alderman Myers. Abner
Habernock, of Olyphant, entered ball
before Alderman Howe, and all the
others arrested gave ball before Alder
man Millar.
The Men's union Is making an es
pecially strong effort to root out the
speakeasies In North Seranton, as this
section of the city Is now more in
fested with the evil than any part of
Scrnnton.
Besides these arrests, Mrs. Andrew
Houance, of the Ridge. Archbald, was
taken Into custody by Detective Will
Clifford, of the Interstate Detective
agencv, nnd was held In $300 bail by
Alderman Howe, on the charge of
keeping a tippling house.
K. (J. Burke, of the Hotel English,
better known a the "White House,"
on Penn avenue, was arrested Satur
day, at the Instance of County Detec
tive Leyshon, and held In $500 ball by
Alderman Millar, on the charge of sell
ing liquor without a license. The de
fendant claimed to be selling under
the license of Jlfklns, the foimer pro
prietor. Mrs. Mary Jane Phillips, of
800 South Main street, already fined by
Mayor Molr for selling without a
license, was held In $500 ball by Alder
man Millar, on the same charge, pre
ferred by the county detective.
Patrick Walsh, of Ml South Main
avenue, was arrested on Saturday, at
the Instance of Constable John Lance,
who charges Walsh with keeping a
speeakeasy. Ball was furnished be
fore Aldeiman Moses In the sum of
$300.

CENTRAL LABOR UNION MEETS
Arrangements Completed for To
day's Big Parade.
A meeting of the Central Labor
union was held yesterday afternoon
In Carpenters' hall at which, the gen
eral routine business was transacted
and arrangements were made for to
day's big Labor day parade.
Rteports were also made showing
that the recent action of the associa
tion In deciding to boycott all mer
chants employing non-union clerks
has already borne fruit.
Union men throughout the county
approve heartily of the move and since
the adoption of it the Clerks' associa
tion bus been augmented by forty-five
new members. The Central Labor
union oiricers declare that this method
is not an arbitrary one, but is merely
intended to better the present condi
tions of both the male and female
workers.
WHAT DILCHER SAYS
ABOUT A STRIKE
DENIES THAT IT IS FOR BENE
FIT OF SOFT COAL REGION.
Believes the Union Is Strong Enough
to Tie Up the Anthracite Region
if Necessary Views of an Operator
About the Present Condition of
Affairs Suggests That Miners
Mnko a Visit to the Bituminous
Region nnd Ascertain the Exact
Conditions There.
Fred C. Dllcher, a member of the
National executive board of the United
Mine Works, nt Wllkes-Barre yes
terday denied emphatically that the
threatened strike In this region Is for
the purpose of benefiting the soft coal
trade. He said: "In case of a strlko
here not n pound of soft coal will find
Its way into the anthracite markets
nut If we have to shut down every soft
coal colliery In the country.."
"It is desired," he said, "that there
shall be no strike, but there will be
a stilke, undoubtedly so, if the opera
tors do not meet us. The position wo
took at Hazleton and the reform wo
iifked showed the fairness of our posi
tion. The delegates there favored a
strike at once, but we advised that
no hasty action be taken. If the op
erators do not meet us, the conse
quences of the strlko will bo on them."
Asked if the union was strong
enomrh to tie up all the miners In tho
anthracite region, ho tnld: "If thero
has to bo a strike It can close down
every colliery In the three nnthracltc
districts, from Carbondale to Shnmo
kln, despite nil reports to the con
trary. This nnthrnri'e district is now
one of the best organised. Over five
thousand nr-w members have joined
tho union during the past week. One
local union, which formerly had
thlrty-flvo mmbers, Increased to 900
in two weeks. We can close down
every colliery here In forty-eight
hours."
AN OPERATOR'S VIEWS.
In speaking of the situation on Sat
urday an operator said: "I am at a
loss to understand why their should
ho all this talk nbout strikes at this
particular time. The miners nre get
ting good work and earning better
wages than In a numbet of years past,
and the ptospects of regular time If
there Is no suspension of work on
account of strikes were never better.
Whereas the country, on the other
hand, has passed the pinnacle of pros
perity and many concerns are having
to i educe wages Instead of Increase
them. In view of these facts I can
not understand why the mlner3 from
tnf anthracite region should want to
connct themselves with a rival in
dustry like the soft coal trnde nnd
give "up their employment Just as It Is
beginning to show up In better time
than In years past.
"Would it not be a good plan for the
miners to appoint a committee to go
down In the bituminous regions and
work, say thirty days. In those mines
and see how much more they are able
to earn there than here before going
on a strike that would result in the
anthracite sales agents losing business
that would be secured by the bitu
minous sales agents and which It
would take years to get back again,
and which would mean Flack time for
the anthracite regions for a number
of years."
SITUATION REVIEWED.
In yesterday's New York Tribune
was a special dispatch from Hazleton
reviewing the present condition of af
fairs In the anthracite coal territory.
It said:
The time intervening between now and the
dite kit for a strike of the miners in the giiMt
mi -nle io.il r.icions of Eiitein i'cnni)lsani.i.
will, the operator meet with their demand,
Is fraught with the greatest anxiety to the
people of half tt doren counties. The L'nlted
Mine Workers hue glvtn the coal operators un
til Saturday, Sept. t, in which to grant then
demands as foimuhitid by w committee.
Alter that the national credit ire board of the
ordir Is to declare a strike. This board metis
in Indianapolis next Thuisday, when tho appli
cation ot ttie miner, for permission to go out
will be acted- rpon, pruUded existing condi
tions are not remedied to their satisfaction.
John Mitchell, pieiddent of the Tutted Mine
Workers, is prrtldtlit of lhl board, and by
many it Is taken as an accepted fact that a
strike will be oidcred, but today this Is not al
together certain. It is imminent, but tlieie are
elements at work which may defeat the aims
of those who would brim; a great disaster on
the hard coal district.
In the first place, public sentiment, as repre
scnted by the uewtpapcis, the pulpit ami bodies
of business men, is against It. This has home
what ditided the ranks of those who are bent
on ctriking. In the second place, the miners
are not altogether unanimous as to whither
striking is the best means to secure redress for
all their wrongs.
This Is epeilally true of those in the lower,
or Schuylkill, region, where the men appear
better tutlstk-d and hao steadier work. Here,
too, they are not as thoroughly organized, uud
this dhision in their own ranks miy be the
turning point that will cause those it the head
of affairs to paue before they order men awaj
horn their woik when they want to continue
REGARD IT WITH HORROR.
Tlio.e who hate seen the lesults of pievloua
strikes regard the coming truuble wllh a ptos
pect of hoirur. It is a fact that there Is great
unrest In the anthracite regions in fact, moie
than for j ears but there Is still a large and con
tinathe element that believes that a clash can
be aertcd by compromise. Veiy little has been
attempted in this diiectlon, and it is the con
fident opinion of many that both sides can t
be brought together, though the operators did
refusu to meet the miners' delegates a few dajs
ago, which action lias precipitated, it not ag
gravated, the inesent dirneull.
One feature has up to this time been over-

looked. TVils It the part that the noil coal
miners ot Western l'ennsylrinla, West Virginia,
Ohio ami other states would play. They are
thoroughly organised, nnd the threat has been
freely made that if necessary for the anthracite
miners to win, their brethren In the west would
be called out, also, especially If the sotl roal
operators should attempt to fill orders that
otherwise would go to the hard coal district.
This would be a serious milter, when It Is con
sidered how inueli Europe depends on the United
Mates for her soft coal. In addition, It might
disturb a market for America's bituminous coal
which has only been created during tho last
jear.
As to the Intention nf the leaders In this re
spect, here are President Mitchell's own words:
"In case we are compelled by the force of
circumstances, we shall bo barked by the Ameri
can Federation of Labor and by oil organised
workmen. If it becomes necessary, we shall, so
far as It lien In our power, call out the miners
of bituminous coal, to keep that class of fuel
out of this region. I simply tremble when I
think of the dreadful possibilities attending the
uprising ot such a large number of men, com
posed of so many natlontlltlrs. We arc not
seeking trouble, and will do all we can to avert
It. If the operators reluso to treat with us,
the responsibility rests with them and not on
BRYANT ROBBED
AND THEN STADBED
Unknown Colored Woman Committed
Both Crimes Disappeared Dur-'
ing the Excltment Follow
ing tho Cutting.
William riryant, of 715 Court stret,
North Seranton, an employe in the
Seranton Stovo wotks, lay In a cot at
tho hackawanna hospital yesterday,
suffering from several stab wounds,
which he says were Indicted early yes
terday morning by a colored woman,
who first picked his pocket, und then
stabbed him with a small (lugger on
his attempting to recover his stolen
pocketbook.
llrvant has a bad cut In the middle
of his back, where the ipolnt of th.j
weapon penetrated, another wound In
his neck, and one In the back of his
bead. His right hand Is badly gashed
across the back.
The story of the stabbing can best
be told In his own words. The version
he gave to a Tribune man yesterday
was us follows:
"I was standing at Penn avenue and
IJnden street, about 12 o'clock, wait
ing for n Providence bound car, when
a colored woman came up to me and
asked for tho time. My arms were full
of packages, which I then had to hold
with one hand, as I pulled out my
timepiece with the other. The woman
brushed against me, as I looked at the
wnteh, but I thought nothing of It nt
the time. She then asked me the way
to some street, I can't recall the name,
and walked off hurriedly. Something
In her actions nroused my suspicion,
and I put my hand In my coat pocket,
wheru my pocketbook, containing a
pretty large sum of money, was a mo
ment before.
The purse was gone, and I hastened
after tho woman. She walked as far
as Milllln avenue and there turned
sharply and began walking toward
Mulberry street. I caught up to her
and, gripping her by the arm, said.
'Here, my friend, I want my pocket
book.' She denied having It, but I
could see its outline's In the bosom of
her dress, anil grasped nt it. She
struck at me in the back, and for the
time I felt no pain, being excited to
such a pitch. I could feel her strike
me again nnd again, but, strange to
say, did not know I was stabbed until
I saw the blooel pouring down my
hand.
"A colored man, who had followed
us, here Interfered, but I hung on to
the woman until some men arrived,
who were standing at Penn avenue at
the time she snatched my purse, and
who came on to see what would de
velop. "On their arrival the woman banded
over the pocketbook, nnd one of the
men went for the police. Before ho
got back, I fainted away, and all the
men around, seeing the way I was
bleeding, rushed to help me. The
woman took advantage of this, and
managed to escape before the officer
arrived.
"She was a small woman, and wore
a black dress. She bad a wig on, and
while wrestling with her, I pulled It
off."
The police have not ns yet arrested
the woman, but are 'on her track.
Many complaints have been received
at headquarters of lnte of cases of
pockets being picked, In a similar man
ner to that In which Ilryant was vic
timized, ami his assailant Is thought
to be the guilty party In many in
stances. AT THE MOSES TAYLOR.

INVITED TO RETURN
TO THE LACKAWANNA
SALISBURY WILL RESUME HIS
FORMER POSITION.
Authoritative Announcement Made
Yesterday That President Trues
dalo Has Asked the Deposed Super
intendent to Take His Old Position
and That the Latter, In View of
Russell's Retirement, Will Accept
tho Invitation Superintendent J.
M. Daly Js Not to Resign.
Out of tho mass of rumors that nre
at present circulating In relation to
Lackawanna railroad affairs, only one
Important thing will allow Itself to
be caught up to. That one thing Is
the return of A. C. Salisbury to tho
position of division superintendent.
As Is generally known, Mr. Salis
bury's retirement was a forced one.
He nnel ex-General Superintendent K.
G. Russell were not harmonious and,
ns Is usually the result in such cases,
the subordinate retired.
Mr. Salisbury's departure was looked
upon by many as tending to muke htm
a scapegoat. He, himself, viewed It In
that light, and not being content to
rest easy under this aspersion, took
steps to set himself aright. These
steps were responsible, It is said. In
no small measure for the occurrences
of the past week.
Mr. Salisbury has been Invited by
President Truesdale to resume hh for
mer position, und Iip Is In everywise
acceptable to General Superintendent
Clarke. That he will accept the Invi
tation was stated by a high olTiclnl
yesterday to be not only probable, but
practically a certainty.
A few days ago n subordinate In tho
Lackawanna station started a move
ment to present Mr. Salisbury with r
sot of resolutions bespeaking the re
grot of the employes nt his retire
ment nnd the like. As soon as tho
matter reached the ears of tho higher
officials they called It off, saying that
their reason for Interfering would bei
apparent before many days.
DALY WILL SAY.
Nothing could be gleaned here that
would tend to corroborate the state
ment that Sueprlntendent of Trans
portation J. M. Daly was to retire,
because of his being piqued at the ac
tion of President Truesdale In Ignor
ing his seeming tight to promotion to
the general supetintendency. Mr. Da'y
denies the story In toto, nnd those
near to him say that he Is perfectly
content to continue at the bead of the
most successfully conducted depart
ment of the road. Mr. Daly assured
Mr. Clarke, only yesterday, that he
had no present Intention of severing
his connection with the Lackawanna.
While the successorshlp to the va
cancy caused by Mr. Hussell's retire
ment may have caused some 'Strained
relations among the officials In line
for the place, the retirement. Itself,
relieved other strained relations with
which In the matter of serious concern
to the company the ilrst mentioned
are not to be compared.
Had not Mr. Russell quit there tvai
a strong probability that the employes
would.
Meetings of the different organiza
tions In which nearly every man on
the road Is a member were called for
yesterday at all the division terminals
and the purpose of these meetings was
to secure concerted action In demand
ing the removal of Mr. Russell.
The movement started In Rlngham
ton. A meeting was held there a week
ago yesterday and ns a result of this
meeting similar gatheilngs were ar
ranged for every terminal point on the
system. The retirement of Mr. Rus
sell left these meetings bereft of their
purpose, but tho men got together,
nevertheless, nnd felicitated them
selves on being saved the extreme
measures they had contemplated.
SOCIAL MEETINGS HELD.
The local lodges of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers and Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen met In
separate hulls In the Guernsey build
ing, on Washington nvenue, yesterday
nfternoon. The Brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen met In their hall In the
American Order of United Workmen
building, on Lackawanna nvenue. Yes
terday was the regular meeting day of
the trainmen nnd firemen. The engl
neeers met In special session.
Nothing could be learned definitely
of what was done at any of the meet
ings, further than that the question of
a permanent federation was thorough
ly dlsctiFsed and generally favored.
Mr. Salisbury urrlved here last even
ing from his home In Watervllle. N.
Y., and registered at the Jermyn. To
a Tribune reporter he said his visit
was on a purely private business mat-
