OPERATORS ARE NOT MCTIVE (Concluded from Page 1 J inp to effect n compromise between the company anil the union. They vlslteil strike headquarters yes terday afternoon nnd had it conference with President Nichols, Secretary Dempsey, John Kearney and Nicholas litlrke, of the district executive board. They were told that If the company would acreo to accede to the union scale of wages the board would likely take up the proposition, but before anything could be done the board would have to hnve n Guarantee that the union scale of wanes would be sub scribed to. The committee left to In terview the company olllclals. Practically the same condition of af fairs exists at the Gibbons dtlft, tho main departure belnjr that tho com pany hns Intimated Its willingness to grant the union scale. Executive I'om mltleemnn Kearney went to South Hcrnnton last night to acquaint him self with the condition of things at this colliery, that the board may have a thotough understanding of the mat ter when It comet to deal with it, for mally, this afternoon. Would Bo Bad Policy. Several of the committeemen ox pressed themselves, privately, to n Ttlbune reporter yesterday to the ef fect that it would be bad policy to re fuse to talbe the sttike lit the Olbbons place, as a large portion of tho school district depends on this company for Its coal, nnd should It be unable to keep the school bins lllled, tho schools would have to be dismissed as soon as the cold weather comes. An attempt was made to operate the Hamilton washcry yesterday morning, but It proved futile. Not enough men could be s-oeuied to begin work, and the scheme was abandoned. It was ruinoted that a number of tho bosses were asked to wotk, but refused, and were discharged. Superintendent I.oomls, when naked to verify the rumor, stated that there was absolutely no tiuth in It, so far as ho knew. "Wo are disposed to treat the men fairly and squarely," continued tho superintendent, "and when wo are ready to start the collieries the men w lit be given their places just as they were before the strike. This talk about tiylng to force the men to work Is all nonsense, and I wish you would so state In your paper. "If you will take a vote among our mlneis, I venture to say that a major ity of them will be found in favor of returning to work," Mr. Loomis said. BIG MEETING HELD AT CARBONDALE Five thousand miners nnd miners sympathizers participated In a parade, followed by a mass meeting on Sandy's Held, Just west of the central portion of Carbondale, yesterday afternoon. The sky was cloudless and tho air cool enough for comfort. Hogarth's Jermyn band rendered several Inspiring airs. As Itev. Henry J. AVhalen, pastor of the Berean Baptist church, left his cab and started across the field for the platform the mass of miners div ided and formed nn aisle for his ap proach. Each lifted his hat respect fully, while tnoso sitting nround the stage commenced to scramble down. The planks creaked, and Mr. Dllcher said: "Sit still, theie's plenty of room; If we fall we'll all fall together. It's like this strike." Then there were cheers. "Hero comes the reverend gentle man," continued Mr. Dllcher, "let him tnlk first. I always like to follow a preacher." Joseph Johns, president of Branch No. 7SS, in introducing Rev. Mr. Whal en, said he had been Invited to speak as a result of his eloquent sermon on tho labor situation Sunday night. Mr. Whalen said that Mr. Johns had not told it nil. He had been requested to take the place of Mr. McGuIre and the situation reminded him of the Ne gio and Irishman, after a brilliant effort by Fred Douglas, The former said: "How Is that for a nigger?" The Irishman thought it was pretty good for half a man and that he would know what to expect from a whole one, "Well," Mr, Whalen went on, "Mr. McOuIre Is a thoroughbred, while I am only half Irish, and was born in Connecticut. When I get through you will know what to have expected from Mr. McGuIre." No Apology to Make. Then he gtew serious and asserted that as a Christian minister he had no apology to make for being there and that he served a church which will ask for n,o apology. He said: When flu 1st was horn three-fourths of tho world was In slaiery while one-fouith repre sented aiaiice and power. The Christian re Union has tltnKcd all this. Distinctions hue lietn wiped out and the golden mle vhlih our Saiiour has glvrn us lias ltd to a recognition of equality. I .nil pioud to he identified with this movement. If any apologies are to ho made lit them lie made hy those who sit In their tomforlahle homes while this struggle goes on. I'udtr Christianity nil the substantial prog tcis of the raie has been nude. Auieilta is pe tullaily the lltld of that pioglcss. I'ifty jears ago my father and the fatheis of the middle aged men in this niidicnte lilt the old coun tries to escape oppiesslon. They were laboiiug men, hut hire tl.ey labored lindir tomlltlons whlth made It po-sllde to educate thtlr thll dun. Many left Knglaud who hid been cursed Willi a Ijniled nrlslotracy; turned by a statute whiili made a tiline for IrMi Hainan fathollts to edu tate their children. My father touhl neither read nor write. Hut hue he found it possible to advance his children. Today up find in ton gnss ami In many of the higher walks of life Irishmen whose lather and mothers could not write their names. Shame on him wtio will snj like privileges shall not be passed on to less faiored tlasses who take up the w-oik left behind by the admitting hosts. When Hie Hi.n gatlaus, Poles ami Italians shall have come to what we enjoy, Clod will find other raics ready to rise in tho scale of life. Consequently the contention of the miners Is not alone for a few tents more on a d.ij's pay It Is for the far-reaihlng inrtucneo to be emled It Is the struggle ot humanity In Its upwaid tendency. The speaker then referred to the crowded schools and said tlso lead ers had not asked for enough. Theso children should not leave tho schools. Men should do their work around the mines at men's wues. Mr. Dllcher Interrupted by giving him a hearty hand-shake, while the crowd fairly yelled. Advice to the Men, Mr, Whalen ursed the men to re main tiuo to their organization, which has ai much right as organizations of capital. He paid a tribute to Itev. K. S. Phillips and to tho dignitaries of the I'athollc churches who are In teresting thvnuwlvcj in this matter, but ho exhorted the men to never bend tho knee to the oppressor, not even nt tho behest of their spiritual ndvisers; to never drop their colors for tho sake of peace. After dwelling upon the spirit ot sacrifice nnd pointing out tho duty of merchants who have giown rich on tho miners, the rever?nd gentlemntt closed with these words: "Better go back ns a union defcntd than as In dividuals at nn advance In wage.." Orgnnbcr Dllcli"i- tlmn addressed the assemblage. Ho said: 1 am more than pleised to know that we hue tnliiWirs In favor of this sttike. Those are the nltest words I have ever heanl from n minis, ter of the rjoptl. Christ was the founder of labor ns ,i milliliter and you eitinot liud It fioiu Ih no-Is to limitation that lie ever black listed a mail out of a job.

I promise you tint these ttnl ilreii shall be put Into sihools and men will do thtlr work at decent wages, I was quoted In a New Voik piper ns sajlnj tli.il we should win If men bail to Jji' Mlled. II Is a Up, and the mm who wrote It was piid Mr. Dllcher then offered the sheriff nnd mayor of Carbondale all the men necessary to preserve tho peace and guard the breakers. "But when they attempt to Import labor wo withdraw," ho added. He continued as follows: Powder Question.

STATEMENT FROM PENNSYLVANIA CO. W. V. S. Thorne, a lending spirit in the Independent Coal Operators' asso ciation, president of the Delaware Val ley nnd Kingston Railroad company and lce-presldent of the Pennsylvania Coal company, made the following statement yesterday concerning tho miners and condition of tho miners of the Pennsylvania company: Pining the month of August the miners at all the collieries of the I'enns.vhania foal company earned tm average of $2.0 per diy, or a total of Yi for the twenty th.vs worked, after pning all their cvptiises for powder, oil, etc. Their aveiage wages received per Uy worked from January 1 until August 31 was fi.r The mincis' liboieis tamed an average of fl.ii" per diy worked during tint pel lod. About our mines and brtikers common labor Is now paid about 2 to M cents a day more thin is customarily paid to laboicrs of the same cl.ss on the rallwa.vs In this vlclnllj. These are as high wages as the coat market condition justify and compare most favorably with wages paid for equally skilled labor in any other Industries, An advance in wages above the present sched ule would so incicase the cost per ton that a immanent advance in the selling price of coil would have to be made. This would so restrict the quantity Hut could ho sold that we should be unable to operate the mines as m my days per month as at present, which would, of comic, teact seriously on the miner. Considering the wages paid in the other an thracite legions, where so many miners are still working, and in Hie bituminous regions, it is im possible for lis to grant the dennnds of the 1'nltcd Mine Workers, and we do not believe that our cniplojes are now- striking becaue they really think they are being unfalily treated, but have done so in the exiltenient of the mo ment mid only at the Instigation of oiitsideis nnd without fully realizing how- serious may !) the results to them and their families, ns well as to the public. We have not received complaints from our em ployes, and do not know what per cent, of them belong to the United Mine Woikeis' union, but believe it to he very snnll. If necessary we could allow our mines to lie idle six menths, but we hope the good rela tions vvliiih hive existed for so manv je.irs be tween the Penns.vlvanla foil company and Its cmploves mav continue, and that our men will soon return to work. The Pennsylvania Coal company has four collieries In Dunmore, two In Old Forge, nnd twenty-one In nnd about Plttston. Mmv of the I.uzerne workings are small, but on tho whole, the company Is one of the largest pro ducers In the district. OFFICERS RETURN TO HEADQUARTERS ITnlted Mine Workers' headquarters at 21b Lackawanna avenue, were en livened yesterday by the roturn of District President T. D. Nichols nnd District Sccrelnry John T. Dempsey, who had be?n doln,? mlsslonaiy work In L.uzen.3 county. Piesluont Nichols said to a Tribune reporter: "Thetc Is very little change In tho situation today. Wo have District No. 1 ptacticnlly tied up, and there Is every assurance that before the week Is out the other districts will bo about on the same footing. "The only mine working In District No. 1 Is the Mocaneicqua, of the West End company, nt Shlckshlnny. 1 conducted a meeting there last night nnd had assurances from the two hun dred present that they would quit, w ork. "I was abroad with some of the Just at Present One of the questions to decide is, "Where can 1 do the hest on groceries" We feel confident that we can demonstrate to' your entire satisfaction that we can save yon mouey today and every day iu the year.

Tho very first men thntv came along were some of those who were at th meeting tho previous night nnd I quit. We will return to the fray, however, and I am satisfied wo will havo those nun In our union be fore a great while. When they come to rcnllze that they are making It possible to operate tnu one mlno In the whole district that Is nt work, It won't tnkj much persuasion to got them to join their 75,X'0 fellow-work, men." Sccretnry Dempsey, who wns down In tho Hnzleton region during the past live days, was quite cuthuslastlo over the conditions there. "Things are looking very bright down there," he said to n Tribune reporter who met bin, ns ho returned to headquarters. "Yesterday wo add ed l.iViO to the strikers' ranks, and to day we count on closing up four col lieries that were winking short-handed the day before. Lattlmer In the only place In the Hnzleton region that Is wn king full hnnded. The nlllcers of that district expect to havo It In the same condition ns this district by Saturday. Organizer Benjamin James told me to tell the boys hero that everything is all light In tho Hnzle ton and other lower regions. "I spoke at a meeting In Hnrwood last night and tnltlated every man In the place Into the union. Wc counted on the Hnrwood mlno being closed down today. I hadn't heard from It before leaving Hnzleton. "The men of the lower districts are enthusiastic over the action of the men In this district. 1 am satisfied that when they come to fully realize that the Lackawanna nnd Wyoming legions nie completely tied up, nnd that they will stay tied up, there will bo just ns complete a tie-up In tho lower districts. President Mitchell told me he was positive there won't be a man digging coal In the whole an thracite region two weeks from now." ARRANGING FOR THE BIG PARADE Tho official order for tho big parade of mlno workers In this city next Saturday nfternoon was promulgated from the district headquarters yester day. It Is expected It will be the) largest procession of Its kind ever seen In this city. The officers and delegates of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters nnd Joiners, In attendance at the national convention now In session hre, have accepted an Invitation to march at the head ot tho procession The breaker boys, drivers and door ten ders will turn out In large numbers and may be marched In a division by themselves.

The var ious locals will bo lod by their re spective officers. . A mass meeting it Laurel Hill park Is to follow the parade. Adelresses will bo delivered by Organizer Fred Dllcher, National Secretnry P. J. Mc GuIre, of the Carpenters' union, and others. NOTES OF INTEREST ABOUT THE STRIKE Headquarters of the United Mine Workers have been opened In Carbon dale In the Leader building. Henry Collins, a member of the district ex ecutive committee, Is In charge. He will keep in close touch with tho dis trict headquarters In this city and In form President Nichols of what Is transpiring la that territory. It will also be his duty to keep the union men of Carbondale nnd vicinity supplied with information from the district headquarters. The Consumers' Ice company an nounced yesterday that it would con tinue to sell coal at the old prices. Boys bound for school yesterday morning came across a tramp stretch ed out asleep on one of the court house square benches. They set off a large firecracker under the bench to rou?j the bum. The bum did not rouse but tho neighborhood did. Inside of two minutes a large crowd had collected expecting to see a striker or a miner's body lying around In gore with a big bullet hole In It. All they saw in the way of excitement was a policeman plying his baton to the soles of a sleeping bum's shoes to wake him up. About S00 feet of fencing around the Jones nnd Itlnslnnd tract of land near the Central air shaft has been broken down nnd carried away for firewood. The following was Issued yesterday by District President Nichols, of the United Mlno Workers: "To the mlno workers ot District No. 1. Greeting: You are hereby notified that until fur ther orders nro Issued all pumpmen, firemen, hoisting nnd fan engineers and stablemen are to bo allowed to con tinue nt work. All others nre ordered to remain Idle. Yours truly, T. D. Nleholls, District President." William Hale.a son of Foreman Hale, of Ilazle mines, Hazletou, quit yes terday morning when he was request ed to take the place ot a driver who failed to report for duty. In reply to a question ns to the truth of the report that his company had laid off some ot Its trainmen In consequence of the coal mlneis' strike, Ptesldert Truesdnle, of the Delaware, Lacka wanna and Western railroad, said jes terday In New York: "Yes. the strike In the nnthrnclte coal region bus closed all our mines. This has reduced our coal carrying business, of course, nnd we have therefore laid off about halt our trainmen. Naturally tho earnings from coal business will be affected, but there has been no falling oft In general business." COMING RUMMAGE SALE. Will Be Held for Benefit of Florence Cilttentou Home.

Members of That Body Consider tho Remarks Mndo by Him Bcforo the Board of Trndc ns Reflecting on Their Integrity and If He Can't Prove Them nt Tonight's Meeting They Will Demnnd His Removnl. One Councilman's Heated Views on the Subject. There's trouble nhcad for Common Councllmnn II. E. Paine, If he attends tonight's meeting of common council, and It Is safe to predict that he will attend. It's nil because of a state ment he made at Monday night's meet ing of tho board of ttnde. during the discussion nnent tho ndoptlon of the resolution favoring the passage of tho viaduct ordinance now pending In councils. Tho statement was to tho effect that at last Thutsday night's meriting of council "tho general dispensers ot the wherewith for both companies (the Lackawanna and Scrnnton railway) were on linnel to see that enough vot"s were secured for tho passage of the ordinance." Now, there are a number of the com mon councllmen who think that this statement was a ser'ous reflection on the honesty nnd Integrity ot them selves and, In fact, on every member of the branch. They consider that Mr, Paine Intimated that they havo been In tho habit of accepting the "wheie with" fiom these nllegeel "general dis pensers," anil they nre determined that he must explain himself. WILL BE CALLED UPON. From conversation with several coun cllmen, who were In nnd around the municipal building yesterday, a Trib une teporter learned that Mr. Paine will be asked tonight to either deny or nfllrm the published reports of his re marks. If ho afllrms them, then will come tho trouble. He will be asked to name the "dispensers" nnd will be likewise requested to prove that they havo done any dispensing. If ho falls to do this, the plan Is to take steps to declare his seat vacant. Tho Act of May 2.1, lRSO, contains a provision which reads as follows: "Each branch of councils shall have power to vacate the seat of any of Its members for misbehavior, official mis conduct or neglect of duty," and It Is under this provision that It Is propose. 1 by some to remove Mr. Paine, If be can't back up his stntement with proof. At least two of the councllmen seen by The Tribune man were especially wrathv nt the new member from tho Ninth, nnd one of them voiced his sentiments In pretty vigorous langunge, thoush ho refused to have his name publlFhed. It may be mentioned, how ever, that he Is one of the eleven who have been Indicted by tho grand 1urv, and that lie has tho reputation of not being afraid to "say things." WILL MAKE IT HOT. "Mr. Paine thinks," sn'd he, "that just because we have been Indicted by the grand Jury we have got to bow down to him and keep still, no matter what charges are made against usj Well, he Is wrong there and he will find It out, too. If he dares to show up at tomorrow night's meeting. We will make It pretty hot for him, you can bet. "I'm not afraid ot him. If there's any cowardly blood In my veins I'll open them nnd lot It run out. I don't think there Is, though, and he'll find out there Isn't. All wo nsk Is fait play and nn honest trlnl, but wo want It understood that we're not going to nllow these nasty Insinuations to be made against us. "We're going to demand the proo? from him tonight, and If he can't hive it we're going to make nn effort to remove him, and I, for one, think we'll have all the self-respecting council men on our side." As Mr. Paine is not In the habit of keeping especially silent, tonight-? com mon council meeting ought to be very lively. i m -- A Pocket Cold Cure.
