SUPT. WILLIAMS IN
A RAILWAY CRASH
Observation Car in Which He Was
Slaking a Tour of Inspection
Was Bun Into.
General Superintendent Sidney Will
iams, of the Pennsylvania Coal com
pany, was caught in a small wreck on
the Erie and Wyoming railroad, yes
terday afternoon shortly after 1 o'clock,
and had an exceedingly narrow escape
from death. As it was, he was badly
shaken up and sustained a sprained
back and a number of severe bruises.
' Mr. Williams was riding on the
"Comet," or special inspection engine,
which was In charge of Engineer R.
W. Winterstein. The accident occurred
at a point about midway between the
Dunmore station and the Speedway
crossing.
The "Comet" had been standing on
the main track and hdid tecelved a sig
nal to proceed towards Dunmore. A
few moments after Engineer Winter
stein had started, and just as he round
ed a slight curve, he saw switch en
gine No. S90 about 300 feet away, back
ing down the track straight towards
the "Comet."
He instantly reversed his lever and
yelled frantically to the other engineer
to stop. It was too late, however, and
just as Superintendent Williams was
rising to jump the crash came, He
was thrown violently to the floor of
the car and was immediately entangled
in the wreckase, the whole front ot
the "Comet" being smashed In.
Engineer Winterstein was also
caught and was very badly Injured.
Two ribs, his right arm and his nose
were broken. He also received severe
bruises. The damage done the tender
of the switch engine was slight and,
strange to say, neither locomotive was
thrown from the track,
Mr. Williams was removed to the
home of a Dunmore friend and was at
tended by Dr. W. G. Fulton, who snld
last night that his injuries were not
serious and that he would be able to
be about in a few days. Engineer Win
terstein was removed to his home at
514 North Blakely street, where he was
attended by Dr. Bernstein. He was re
ported to be in a very dangerous con
dition last night.

ginning next Saturday, and which lasts
an entire month, ought to have fol
lowed the reporter into the basement

exhibit that has developed slnc.i tluj

tonlnns will see models of many of Its
factories In working order. Thcbo in
clude the silk mills, tho piano works,

MINE WORKERS WANT
CONTRACT REVOKED
APPEARED BEFORE THE SCHOOL
BOARD IAST NIGHT.
They Claim That the Clarke Tunnel
Company Is Furnishing "Scab"
Coal of An Inferior Quality to the
School District Controlled Allowed
$50 a Month Clerk Hire Night
Schools Will Not Be Opened Till
Nov. IS Other Business Transact
ed by the Board.
A committee from tho United Mine
Workers appeared before the school
board last night and made the request
that It cancel Its contract with the
Clarke Tunnel Conl company for the
furnishing of coal to a portion of the
city schools, It being nlleged that the
company is employing non-union labor.
The board wns rather taken by
surprise when P. J. Mullen, tho chair
man of the committee, wns granted the
floor by Chairman .Tavne.
"I am here," said Mr. Mutlen, "on
behalf of the United Mine Workers, to
nsk the board to cancel Its contract for
coal with the Clarke Tunnel company."
Some one immediately moved that
the matter be referred to the supply
committee without hearing Mr. Mul-
v what Mckinley
Mayor James Moir, who has for years been engaged in business
in this city, gave a Tribune man a few of his reasons for thinking
that President McKinley should be re-elected next month. He said :
"President McKinley has taken us through a war successfully,
and today the United States stands before the world in a far different
position than she did four years ago. We are now able to hold up
our head with the groatest of tho powers. This is due, in my opin
ion, to the conservative and able administration of President
McKinley, who has proved himself to be a great statesman.
"He is the natural proteotor and guardian of protection, and we
f must have protection for a time yet,
tries. President McKinlev may be
our protective system.
" I am satisfied that if Mr. Bryan had been elected four years ago
we wouldn't now be a city of the second class. I'm sure that McKin
ley's administration is responsible for our now being a city of the
second class.
Prnnirlnnr. McKinlev is no experiment. He's been tried tor tour
years, and who's to say he's been found wanting P He has no vaga-
f ies ; and he can give a satisfactory and a logical reason for every-
thing he has done. I believe that the American people have faith
and confidence in him and that they will re-elect him next month. " -f
len's reasons, but the majority of the
members desired to hear him and he
continued:
"Well," said he, "if you want to
know my reasons, I'll tell you. The
Clarke Tunnel Coal company is send
ing out "scab" coal. They sent out a
load today to No. 14 and it wasn't
cleaned or picked. I know that. They
loaded It on the wagon and then picked
off the top. They sent it down In
charge or guards with revolvers In
their belts, thinking to stir up agita
tion, but we know better than to in
terfere with them."
MULLEN'S REMEDY.
In response to an Inquiry from Presi
dent Jayne as to what the board could
do in the premises with a contract ex
isting, Mr. Mullen said:
"Order a big supply," said he. "Ordpr
ten tons each for two or three build
ings and you'll find they can't begin to
furnish it. Then you can cancel your
contract."
Captain May asked Mr, Mullen If the
United Mine Workers was an incor
porated body, and upon receiving the
teply that it was, said:
"Then you'd better look out, for the
Clarke Tunnel Coal company can pre
ceed against you for damages."
Mr. Gibbons, who had been makims
a few inquiries, at this point asked the
secretary if a contract existed. Secre
tary Fellows explained that the board
had awarded the contract to the Clarke
Tunnel company; that it had been exe
cuted and signed by the officers of the
board and sent to the company to !
signed, but had not yet been returned.
"Then no contract exists," Fald Mr.
Gibbons. "I move that the contract for
furnishing coal to that district bo
awarded to the next lowest bidder.
Those people had a right to come here
and sign their contract,"
Mr. Gibbons' motion created a vast
amount of discussion, and it was final
ly decided to refer the whole matter to
the supply committee, with instruc
tions to investigate it thoroughly.
A recommendation of the building
committee, to the effect 'that the archi
tects for No. 9 and No. 33 buildings be
allowed the usual commission for heat
ing and ventilating, caused another big
discussion. Mr. Gibbons contended that
tho board had no right to pay them a
cent, Inasmuch as the work was super
vised by Engineer Harris, Who is paid
$100 by the board for this kind of work.
He thought that if they wei going to
Include those two schools they should
also Include No. 2,
Mr. Roche explained that the custom
In tho past had been to allow the archi
tects commissions on heating and ven
tilating. It didn't apply to No. 2, be
cause the board bail passed a resolu
tion directing the engineer to prepare
plans arid supervise the work at that
school.

E. G. Coursen
429 Lack. Ave,
Archltecl Davis explained that ho
had prepared three sets of plans for
No. 38, but admitted, In response to nit
Inquiry from Mr. Langan, that he had
nothing to do with supervising the
work.
Captain May said that the five per
cent, commission allowed architects
was for drawing tho plnns and super
vising tho work, tt was finally de
cided to refer the matter back to thi
building committee, In conjunction
with the attorney of the board,
While the building committee wai
reporting, Mr. Gibbons brought up a
matter that was referred to thnt com
mittee some time ago namely, tho
claim of ex-Jnnltor Phillips, of No, 3,
for salary. It appears that he was
hired for n year nnd that after work
ing for a month, wns discharged. Ho
has been bringing suit every month
and securing judgments. Mr. Gib
bons moved that he be palJ $300 fln
settlement of his claim,
A big objection to this motion de
veloped. Someone nskod President
Jayno why Mr. Phillips was temoved
and he replied "for cause."
"There was no cause, except eleven
votes," said Mr. Gibbons. "1 was one
of them, and 1 regret my action very
much."
"Eleven votes Is a pretty good cause
sometimes," said President Jayne, and
then a motion to refer the matter to
the attorney of the board nnd the
bullying committee was carried.
Tho finance committee recommended
that Controller Howell be allowed $600
a year for clerk hire, they being "of
the opinion that the responsibilities
has done for us.
to mors fully develop our indus-
said to be the head and front of .4.
of the office and the value of his ser
vices are deserving of compensation."
Mr. Barker suggested that the board
should hire the clerk, but his sugges
tion did not meet with much favor
and the report of the committee was
adopted.
The teachers' committee recommend
ed that the night schools be' opened as
usual on the second' Monday In No
vember. Mr. Shires and H. J. O'Mal
ley Immediately objected vigorously,
contending that they had large num
bers of children in their respective
wards who were ready to go to school,
but who were debarred from attending
day school.
REPORT WAS ADOPTED.
Mr. Gibbons assured both gentlemen
that under the laws of tho state no
child could be refused admittance to
school. The board Anally decided to
adopt the report of the committee.
The special committee to which was
referred thp question of obtaining suit
able quarters for the primary children
now in the High school, teported hav
ing been unable to find any proper
place, and recommended that a port
able annex be purchased and located
on the easterly end of the High school
lot. The recommendation was adopted.'
Miss Cora Griffiths, of No. 27 school,
was granted a four months' leave of
absence, upon the recommendation of
the teachers' committee. The salary
of Mrs. Burns, janltress nt No. .27
school, was raised from $15 to $20, upon
the recommendation of the building
committee.
The matter of pngaging extra kin
dergarten teachers for No. 19 und No.
7 schools was referred to the kinder
garten committee for consideration.
The contract for 180 desks for the
High school was awareded to Hill &
Connell, W, A. Harvey and Hunt &
Council were awarded the contracts
for the electric wiring of No. 31 and
No. IS schools respectively. .,
THE TRAMP HAD A FEAST.
Paid a Visit to the Residence of
vCharles Weichel.
A traraji, a dissected pie and scat
tered crumbs ot other eatables caused
a commotion on Qulncy avenue yester
day, that is the pie and crumbs did
all this, but the tramp has not yet
been tracfted to his lair.
Charles Weichel and family are oat
of the city, leaving the house in care
of a maid, who yesterday morning dis
covered the above mentioned traced of
the marauder. Later in the day she
suddenly decided that the man was
in tho house, and ran to her nelbh
bcrs for help,
A telephone message was sent Into
police headquarters. Then, after .1
little Investigation the maid concluded
that she had been laboring under a
hallucination and the summons for
help was countermanded.
However, two big, bravo officers ar
rived In the afternoon and caused no
end of excitement In that quiet lo
cality, but no tramp was unearthed.
HIS SECOND OFFENSE,
Harry Davis Was Arrested on Two
Consecutive Nights,
Harry Davis was arraigned befoie
Mayor Moir In police court yesterday
morning for tho second consecutive
time and In default of a $5 fine was
committed to the county Jail for fifteen
days. Davis was arrested Saturday
night by .Patrolman Sartor, on the
charge of Insulting ladles passing him.
He acted so very disagreeably at the
Center street station that it was found
necessary to remove him to the cellar,
He was lined ?5 the next mornlntr,

was released, Sunday night he was

ALL EYES ON
SCRANTON
Concliutcd fiotn l'nge 1,1
dent of the orgnnhntlon Is going to
be In a position to sny, "Well, It waRii't'
my doing," The general public, how
ever, will hold Mitchell responsible for
whatever tho convention does, oh It
base come to believe, positively, that
he can do with It as he will.
Two things will be found to be a bar
to the Immediate acceptance of the ten
per cent, offer, even If the delegates
unanimously favored Its acceptance.
One Is the sliding cale which obtains
In the lower districts, and the other Is
the want of any assurance from the
operators that the new wage Is to con
tinue for any definite period,
The first difficulty Is made surmount
able by the proviso of the operators'
offer that they will take up with their
men any grievances they may have.
Whether or not the men will be con
tent to trust themselves to be able to
secure a new stylo of wage scale If left
to deal separately with their respect
ive employers, after the strike Is off,
li the question on which this problem
will hinge. The fact that they will
have the organization behind them,
whether or not they are on strike and
that the operators will be disposed to
treat them liberally rather thah court
another strike, may have some weight
In deciding the question. At all events
the Mine Workers, from Presldnt
Mitchell down, declare they should
have a fixed wage scale, so as to pre
vent the possibility of the operators
juggling, the selling prices and defeat
ing the ten per cent, raise, and until
some means of getting around this dif
ficulty presents Itself, the offer, though
It might be In every other respect sat
isfactory, will not meet with ready
approval.
Other Difficulty.
Thp other difficulty Is, on the face of
it, trivial, but when analyzed presents
a serious phase, for in It Is bound up
the recognition of the United Mine
Workers' organization. The Mine
Workers want the offer to hold eood
for a year and that at the end of that
time the men and opetators should get
together and fix a new rate or re-adopt
the old rate for another year.
The men won't be satisfied, It Is safe
to say, to have each company meet Its
own men in such a yearly conference,
and the operators have stolidly as
serted that come what may they will
not go Into any general conference. It
is to be hoped that some way, satis
factory all around, will be discovered
of overcoming this difficulty.
As outlined In The Tribune two
weeks ago, It is possible for the men
to deal with the operators as members
of the union and yet not be labeled as
such, which would be every bit as ef
fective, as far as the men are con
cerned, and not reasonably objection
able to the, operators. With the end In
view of meeting the probability of the
union not being officially recognized, a
re-arrangement of the local unions it
to be had, by which each colliery will
have Its own local. A committee of the
employes of any colliery can go to the
operator as a committee of his em
ployes and deal with him as such, but
at the same time they are acting as a
committee of the United Mine Work
ers. Knowing that almost every miner
In the region Is a member of the union,
the operator will realize every moment
he is dealing with a committee of his
employes that he Is also dealing with
a committee of United Mine Workers.
For nil practical purposes the union,
under these circumstances, can get
along without direct recognition. '
Tomorrow's Parade.
Arrangements for tomorrow's demon
stration are about complete. Another
meeting of the committee of local union
presidents, having the arrangements In
charge, was held yesterday afternoon
In St. John's hall, Pine Brook, and the
details for the parade and mass meet
ing were about perfected.
District President T. D. Nichols asked
to be relieved from the position , of
grand marshal, and William Fltzslm
mons, of Local 879, Dunmore, was
chosen iu his stead. Thomas Davies, of
Local 213, West Scranton, was made
chief of staff, and Francis Farrell, of
Local SOS, North cranton: Stephen
Reap, of Olyphant, and William
Charles, of Local 213, West Scranton,
were named as aides.
In the carriages will be President
Mitchell, "Mother" Jones, Organizer
Dllcher and other strike celebrities.
Mayor James Moir, who is to open the
meeting with an address of welcome
to the visiting strike leaders, will also
occupy a carriage.
The right of line Is accorded to Local
925, of Archbald, and 1142 and 1012, ot
Eynon, which are comprised of the
Jones, Simpson & Co.'s employes, who
have been on strike seven months. At
