THREE CITIES SHOULD
HAME COMMISSION
SECOND CLASS CITY CODE MUST
BE ENACTED.
Until It Is, the New Second Class
City Will Have to Worry Along
on a Charter Patched Up with
Third Class City Laws There Is
Absolutely No Laws for a School
Dlsttlct In a Second Class City and
We Will Retain Present Laws.
SCora Transition Details.
Seranton will not don her second
class city garb until the first .Monday
In April, 1001. Before the triiripltion
can Lp effected, a regular tiiunlolp.il
election must Intervene to nil the of
llccs that the now clasrlfloatlon will
call tor.
Just whit nfllces nie to bo filled Is
a mooted attention. When Allegheny
Clly missed Into the second class It
was held by the courts that those of
ficiate whose terms ot ofllco had not
expired and whose ofTIccs were com
mon to both classes, of cities, should
I nerve out the term of office for which
j they were elected, and that only thohe
oMcers should be fleeted who were
not provided for In the act under
whleh the city was previously gov
erned. If this prevails In the present case
the election will be simply to 111 the
vacancies In select and common coun
cils, resulting from expiration of term,
and to expand the common council
lrom a body of twenty-one to a body
of forty. The only other elective
municipal office, that of mayor, will
not be affected, as Mayor Molr'a term
does not expire till April, 1902.
The real city election will be con
dueled by councils. These sixty-one
men will choose a trenenier, comptrol
ler, auditor, five city assessors, city
solicitor, delinquent tax collector, two
city clerks, director of the depart
ment of public safety, director of the
department of public works, and direc
tor of the department of public chail
tlea. Each a elected for two years,
excepting the city clerks, who are
elected for three years.
rum.de ciiAUiTins.
There Is a question as to whether or
not the department of public chari
ties will be able to Immediately en
ter upon Its duti'-s, as the present
poor board will no doubt be disin
clined to willingly dissolve, and the
consequence will be some lengthy liti
gation. None of the experts on muni
cipal law questioned on the matter
wore willing to give an opinion, but
all Inclined to the belief that as Dun
more is capable of being made a sep
arate poor district, there will be little
difficulty experienced In Scrnnton city
invoicing itself fiom the fScranton
poor district, by engaging Dunmore
boruush in partition proceedings to
settle about the property they jointly
own.
As to the school board, It Is pretty
well settled, no immediate change will
occur. The present board Is saved
from molestation by the fact that there
Is no second class city school laws.
Pittsburg and Allegheny are working
under their old-time special charter
school laws, fn 1S93, these two cities
got together and drafted a complete
code of laws for a ichool district-fin
a second class city, repealing all the
school laws under which they
were at the time working. It passed
the legislature, was signed by the gov
ernor and was about to go Into effect
when opponents took K up to the Su
premo court and succeeded In having
It so badly riddled and torn that
Pltthburg and Allegheny hastened to
repeal the r:t repsallng their original
school laws, nnd once safely settled
back under the old s'3tem, nllowed the
proposed new code to go by the
board.
CON'TINU:-: AS AT PRESENT.
The consequence Is that Seranton
must needs continue to have her
schools governed by a board organized
under fi law applying to school dis
tricts In third class cities until such
time as a new set of second class city
school laws can be passed and given
the approval of the Supremo couit
The city Itself will have to bo con
tent for a time with many third
class city laws because of the defi
ciency of second class city legisla
tion. No complete code ot second
class city laws has ever been passed.
Pittsburg and Allegheny at the time
they, respectively, became second
class cltlc, were enjoying some un
usual piivileges under their special
charters, framed, as they were, before
the constitution of 1874 preventing lo
cal or special legislation was adopted,
nnd wishing to preserve these special
privileges, these cities contented
themselves with having the leglsla
tute pass only nulllclont second clnss
city laws to patch out their old special
charters.
This patchwork Is the only available
raiment for any new-boin second cla
city bnbe, and until such tun us
the legislature can be brough tj pio
vlde a full suit of clothing, tfuinnton
will needs be content to pntch out
I this second class city patchwotk with
patches from net- tniitt class city
I uress.
It is going to be no easy matter to
bring about tho legislation that wnl
be necessary to give Seranton a com
plete set of laws for her new station
in municipal life. Pittsburg and Alle
gheny are veiy well satisfied, evi
dently, with their present code, Kveiy
law that would bo passed to relievo
Scranton's Inadequacies would wipe
out one of their special charter laws,
for, as Is generally understood, a law
passed for one city of a certain class
must apply to every city of that
class.
SOME DIFFICULTIES.
Pittsburg and Allesheny's special
"barter laws might be surrendered and
je-enacted as general lnws for all
three cities, but as tho special chatter
laws of the two western cities are not
identical, and as neither set might be
df-sireble to Scrnnton, this, at first
die nee, npp.it en tly, easy way out of
tho cillllculty, becomes a very ques
tionable way, when given detailed at
tention. Tho only way, It would seem, to
ff(iUo Um proDlem W0Ulrt ,, t0 ave
,nu eilreo citea appolni commissioners
, frani0 a complete municipal and
fiLhooi dlsttlct code for second class
lollies. Sciantor.'a councils took a sort
ot pummaiy atep In this direction
when It engaged ox-City Solicitors I,
, 11. Hums and Jnincs H, Torrey and
City Solicitor A, A. Vosburg to Inves-
tlgate and report on what legislation
was necessary to he passed to give
Seranton a complete charter when It
became a second clacs city. They
have been at work on this list and now
that Seranton Is for certain to be a
second class city, they propose to get
at the details and frame a complete
icport.

RAINEY WANTED TO
SEE HIS ACCUSERS
He Pleaded Guilty Before He Became
Inquisitive and His Desire Was
Not Gratified.
Thomas Ralney, of No. 21 Arcbbald
stieet, Bellevue, was yesterday morn
ing anested and arraigned before
Mayor Molr, charged with keeping a
tippling house. He admitted his guilt,
and was lined $75 and the costs.
He wus unable to pay this, and was
committed to the county Jail for thirty
days. Numerous complaints weie re
ceived by Mayor Molr about ltalney's
place, and a warrant for his an est
was out for some time.
When arraigned before his honor,
and asked if he ever sold liquor nt his
place, Ralney blurted out: "Yes, I sold
liquor up to September 3. Since then
I haven't sold any."
"Well, that's sufficient," remarked
the mayor. "The ordinance regarding
the speakeasies has been In effect since
the middle of August. You aie fined
$75 and the costs."
"Well, let me see the men who are
accusing me," Ralney protested. He
was Informed, however, that since ho
had pleaded guilty there was no need
of a hearing, and Inasmuch as every
time the agents of the ciusade are put
on the stand and their Identity le
vealed, It Is necessary to secure a new
hatch of them, his wish could not be
gratified.
The prisoner acted In a rather tin
pacific manner at this, and was then
told that If ho so desired he was at
liberty to take an appeal.
Several bottles of ale were found it
his place and have been held as addi
tional evidence.
Several other warrants have been
Issued and will be served during the
remainder of the week. Mayor Molr
dally receives letters from residents of
the city, giving Information against
speakeasies, and some of these aie of
a very pathetic nature. In one com
munication the writer tells of her hus
band and sons wasting their money at
a hole-in-the-wall, and brings the let
ter to an end as follows: "Oh, Mr,
Mayor, If you can only stop these
places, I will pray for you night and
day, for It is through them that I am
now living a teirible life."
E. .1. Fish, the Penn avenue hotel
keeper, who was arrested last week at
the Instance of the Men's union, was
to be given a hearing at 4 o'clock yes
terday afternoon by Alderman Millar,
on the charge of selling liquor on Sun
day. Mr. Fish nrrlved at the time ap
pointed, but waived a hearing and en
tered ball in the sum of $300.

MINE WORKERS'
BALANCE SHEET
FINANCIAL REPORT OF CONDI
TION OF THE ORDER.
The Wllkes-Barre Leader's State
ment of Finances of the Organiza
tion Expected to Aid the Strikers
in the Coming Conflict Salaries
and Expenses of the Officials.
On July 31, 1000, the Union Had
871,300.05 on Hand.
Kion the Wilkes (Urre Leader.
The mine operators In older to show
the men the actual condition of th
union have managed lo obtain a enpv
of the flnanclnl repoit for Julv nnd
say that this Is the lxst possible er
gument ngalnst a stilko.
There Is a general belief nmoir the
men that a strike will be ordered ti
morrow, but n careful perusal ot the
following stntenient may convince
them that a strike would be v.y 111
advised and that the beat thing possi
ble for them nnd for this region would
be to continue at work.
The statement Is as lollows.
"In support of the contention of the
anthracite opeiutom that the order of
trnltrd Mine Workers of America is
not the representative body that It
pretends to be, attention Is invited by
the anthracite producers tivlay to the
statement of the financial secretary of
the Minn Workers. Mr. W. B. WIIfoii.
under date of July 31, 1J01. an extract
from which Is produced oelow.
"A careful scrutiny of this document
discloses that the Income lrom all
sources for the month ot.iuly was 123,
S.1S.64, and the expenditures $;'2,bS3.01,
leaving to be applied to th reserve
fund $2,44..63. The most slKiilllcant
Item of Income is that derived from
the per capita tax of 10 cents per mem
ber, this amounts to J9.lilO.SO. and in
dicates conclusively th-it the total
strength of the ordr on the tlr.U of
AtiKiist was 99.40S men, mattered
thio'ughout the coal fields of the t'nl
vmuuK.iuuL we- o. ""'""';"-'"
toe, States from t h Atlnnile to ho
Pacific, less than l. per cnt. of ine
total coal workers of the country,
"Furthei, as Indicating the percent
age of dlrloyalty In the matter of as
sessment for the support ot strikes, at
tention was called to Item No. 4 In
the statement of Income, which gives
the total received for the month on
account of this assessment as $14,193.
80, showing clearly that EG.798 men, or
only 57 per cent, responded to the call
for a monthly assessment of 25 cents
out of a total of 99,100 members.
"Toevcry thinking anthracite miner,
what'moie conclusive evidence of the
weakness of his dunces of support
from t'ie I'nlon could be produced
than can be gleaned from this official
statement?
"Attention was also called to the
fact that on August the first th" re
serve in the national treasury was $71,
308.93. or less than 30 cents pr head
for tho anthnclte mine workers nlone.
"If only 57 per cent, of the whole
number responds to a call of 23 cents
per month, what percentage would ic
spond to a call sufficient to provide
even the barest necessaries of life for
the 143,000 anthracite mine workers
whom President Mitchell and his fol
lowers are asking to go on strike with
tho promise of union support'
"Miners and others concerned w ill
look with Interest, nnd many of them
probably for tho ilrst time, upon tho
long list of agitators shown In Mr. Wil
son's statement, giving the names nnd
solailes and expenses paid to each of
them for July. To some this list will
doubtless suggest that the money was
easily errned. Others will wonder
what Is Included In the heavy charges
for expenses. Still others will pobsl
biv wonder whether or not all tho high
sounding sentiments uttered by these
men in Impassioned speeches are as
enthely disinterested as they would
have their heaiers believe. To most
men the wages coupled with such ex
pense accounts would seem a sufficient
motive for a good deal of oratory."
Then follows the statement:

the anthricite region know tins to be true?
As a matter of fart, are not the miners in the
bituminous legion diawing less from the pay
ear at the end of the month and working longtr
boui, than the Deleware, Lackawanna and West
rm men today?
Is it not a fact that what the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western miners have needed more
than anv thing else in the put is clj) s' work?
And is It nut aUo a fact that last year allowed
an improvement, and that this year the pros
pects are still better, if there is no Interruption
to work?
Have the Dehuare, Lackawanna and Western
miners tikon into consideration tho monejs being
paid theli accidental funds for empty powder
kegs, which amounted last J ear to over $10,000?
Do tie demands made by the Culled Mine
Workers on which they say they are going to or

first The almlishnicnt of company stores-Tills
In no way affects the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western, ns the) have no cotnpan) stores.
Second Powder. Thev claim that it Is an out
rage for Ihe miners in tills dislhlct to pay $2 75
per keg for powder while they are only plying
$1.60 In nome other districts, but they fail to
statp that the very men that are p.ijing $2 75
per keg are drawing moie from the pav cir at
the end of the month than Ihe men In districts
where the are only paying $1.30 per keg, ac
count of allowances.
Tliitd Seinl-monthlj' pa.vments.
Is it the desire of the majority of Hie miners
in the anthracite districts, or their families, to
be paid sernl-inonthlv'
Another giievance for which they want to or
der out the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
men is the w niching of coal. Does this in anv
wav affect the Delaware, Ijekawanna or West
cm men, or do they want arrangements made
to have all their coal weighed? Would not they
be the losers under turli an arrangement?
nothcr recjuest is tint no miner shall have
at anv time more thin one breast, gangway or
working place, and slilll not get mure thin an
equal share ot ears or work
Do the Delaw"T, Ijckawanna and Western
miners want such an arrangement as this?
(Ireat fij is aUo mede of the neecesslty of
hiring company doctors Does this in an wav
affect the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western?
Not only do their men not have to employ
company doctors, hut that company spends thous
ands ot dollars for Ihe support of Ihe Moses Ta.v
lor hospital to take care of their employes and
their families, and in medicines distributed to
them.
These are things that should be rarefull) con
sidered in connection with the decision of the
operators, printed in our dally papers some time
