THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-THURSDAY DECEMBER 13, 1900.
I
MEWS OP THE
LABOR WORLD
NEW COAL COMPANY HAS BEEN
ORGANIZED.
It Hits Secuved Conl Lnml in the
Third Ward of This City nnd
Pricoburg Special Examinations
for Lackawanna Employes Cause
of the Trouble at the Edwards
villc Mines Annual Convention
of District Union No. 1. of the
Mine Workers, to Be Held Next
Month.
Application will In- nmilc l (Itiver
nor Stono on Frliluv, Deo. US, for the
charter of the llclluncu Coal company,
n nowlj'-orsmilKiMl corporation, of
which D. St. Helllr h thu tempoiory
president, and which will conihtot
operations on a la rue tract of land In
the Third ward of thl.M city and DIcU
Hon City boiouffh. Nlnpty-Hevcn ui-ipm
of coal land have been leased from the
l'rleo, 1'ancouHt and Throop Coal com
pany, and twenty-three titles have been
leased from Alfred JIarvoy.
Resides these, an undivided hair part
of the coal under a stretch of llfty
i IkIU acres, known us the Hartwell
tiact, has been purchased trom the
present owner, Tra K. Hartwell. All
of the land Is praetlcaly virgin terri
tory, and has never before been
worked.
As for as can be nsceitulned by a
ettidy of the neighboilnff coal lunds,
the tract Is supposed to contain about
one and a quarter million tons. The
members of the company are: M. J.
Kelly, 13. A. Bartl, Daxld M. Uellly,
Michael Grimes and M. K. Snnilti.
A temporary organization was ef
fected at a meeting held about ten
days ago, when Mr. ttellly was elected
president, Mr. Snndo secretary and
Mr. Kelly treasurer. The company I
capitalized at $100,000. The charter is
expected to arrlvtj here about Satur
day, Sept. 29, but It Is doubtful if n
permanent organization will be started
before the first of the year. Active
operations will begin Immediately af
ter this move.
Special Examinations.
For some time it has been the prac
tice on the Delawure, Lackawanna
and Western railroad to require an
examination of the eye-Bight and hear
ing of nil persons wishing to enter
the company's service, and also of ex
amining the present employes.
In order to bring about a more rapid
i (inclusion of these physical inspec
tions, special ear No. 03 has been
iltted up, in which these examinations
will now be held. The car will be
placed on a convenient track to the
passenger station and Dr. G. D. Mur
ray will be In charge of it during the
next few days, commencing at 1.30
o'clock this afternoon.
Lackawanna trainmen wore yester
uay acquainted with this action by a
bulletin issued by Superintendent E.
M. Klne, nnd all conductors, baggage
men, brakemen, drill masters and drill
men are asked to report at the car
as soon as possible.
Annual Convention.
Considerable comment Is being
moused In labor circles by the an
nual convention of the United Mine
"Workers of America of District No. 1,
which will be held next month.
The miners will convene at Edwards
vllle and the session will be opened
on Jan. 11 and continue several days.
It will be presided over by President
Nichols. A number of important
matters to the men of the district
will come up for action.
Finishing the Pays.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western company has now completed
the work of paying at the mines,
yards and shops, and thera will be no
more work for the paymaster until
Saturday, when the trainmen .will be
paid This month's Lackawanna pay
loll was a large one, the ten per cent,
increase at the mines causing it to
assume for larger pioportlons than o
yoi e.
O. nnd W. Officials Have Gone.
The officials of the New York, On
tario nnd "Western Railroad company,
who were In the city during Monday
and Tuesday, all left the city Tues
day afternoon nnd yesterday morning,
Vice President Keir being one of the
last to depart.
It is now announced that their visit
was In the nature of a general In
spection of the company's coal mines.
As yesterday stated in The Tribune,
Superintendent 1J. U. "Williams and the
out-of-the-clty otllclals visited the Mt.
Pleasant colliery Tuesday morning.
The Pine Brook, Cnpouse, Thioop,
Kuymond at Archbald, Johnson at
Prleeburg, and Pancoast, wore among
other of the mines Inspected.
Laborers Oo on Strike.
Fifteen laborois at the P-IIss col
ll"iy ut Nantleoko will stop work to
day, ns a result of a tefusal of tlv.i
miners whom they depend on for
Mages, to grant them the ten per rpnt.
ineieaso. President Nleholls, of DM
ti lot No. 1, held a meeting of the col
lleiy's miners lost night at Nantleoko
to take action regarding the matter.
and all the miners present agreed to
give their laborers the Increase.
The mine Is opeiated by the Dela
wnre. Lackawanna, and AVi stern Rtill
roud company, and the ten per cent,
Ineieaso Jh in elfect, as at the com
pany's other collieries. The laborers
are not paid by tho company, hut re
ceive their wages direct fioin the mlu
eis, A few of the ptuigway miners, how
ever, claim that they ate not favored
with n regular Ion per cent. Increase,
and therefore relused to pay the men.
Their ineiease coiisists In seven nnd
a half per cent, olf of the price of
powder and a two and u half re
duction on other supplies. Tho laborers
will not return to work till they receive
the December inete.ihu and a promise
of continuance,
President Nleholls Is In hopes of
soon settling the tumble, The timing
teports which huvo uppeaied concern
ing the Lackawanna company not
giuntlng the Increase at the Bliss,
Taylor and several West Hcranton
mines, are without foundutlon.
Trouble at Edwavdsvllle,
The condition of affairs at the Kings
ton Coal company's mines at Edwards
vllle Is nt present In a. very dlsagiee
able state. The companyhus been given
speelllc notice that upless Foreman
Thomas .Morgan Is removed by Decem
ber 15, 19, and several other griev
ances adjusted, the men will tease
work. .. . . M
There are between fifteen hundred
nnd two thousand men (it the cbm
patty's large breakers, and from pres
ent Indications It looks as though they
will go on a strike, as the company is
obdurate and refuses to remove Mor
gan until ho has been legally convicted
of the charges against him. lie Is an
outside foreman, and the employes
clulm that he hrts been gulltv of ex
torting money from men who applied
to him for work, nnd also of obtaining
money from minors, by threatening
them with dismissal unless his de
mands were compiled with.
A hearing In the case was recently
held before several of the company offi
cials, at which a number of miners tes
tified against Morgan. Another of the
miners' grievances Is the fact that tho
compuny Insists on nine Inches topping
ut their tollleiies, while other mines
only ask for six Inches. Another of the
men's complaints Is that the Klncston
authorities lefuse to announce whether
or not they wilt pay by the semi
monthly system during the coming
year, as will bo done by most of the
companies after Januaty 1. The men
at the mines all desire this.

This and That.
General Superintendent T. M. Clarke,
of the Lackawanna, left for New York
city Tuesday night.
Superintendent Dudgeon, of the
Lackawanna, has Issued two bulle
tin orders from Buffalo. In one of
them the speed of trains over bridge
No. 13, west of Nichols, is Increased
to twenty-five miles an hour. The
other 'reduces trains' speed to six
miles an hour ever bridge No. 11, one
quarter of a mile east of Nichols.
As a result of the recent conference
between the fielght departments of
the Central Railroad of New Jersey
and the New York, Ontario and West
ern company, a report has now been
drawn up legardlng the present con
dition of the movement of the tratilc.
This will be immediately forwarded
to the companies' transpoitutlon de
partments. Superintendent Loomls, of the Lack
awanna coal department, has accepted
the resignation of William Penn Morgan
from the position of foreman of the
Diamond mine of the Delnwaie, Lack
awanna and Western company, to go
Into effect Saturday. There are sev
eral candidates for the place, and It
is probable that Mr. Morgan's suc
cessor will be today named by Super
intendent Loomls.
All of the machinery has been le
moved from the Weston Mill property
on Lackawanna avenue, now owned
by the Delaware and Hudson com
pany, and everything is In readiness
for the work of tearing down the pres
ent structure, ami beginning the con
struction of the company's new frieght
station. Tt is not likely that any ac
tive steps will be taken, however, be
fore Jan. 1, 1901.

The many who have made their purchases of furs foi .
this winter doubtless welcomed the recent sudden drop oi
the mercury. They've had but little opportunity as yet to
wear them. There'll be plenty from this time on.
There'll be no better time to make selection---no bettei
place than this Fur Store in which to make it. The
assortment is very wide, embracing about everything that
you'll care to look at. All of sterling quality, conscienti
ously put together. There are neck scarfs at $4 and a
Jacket for $225.00. Handsome Collarettes of Stone Mar
ten, Bear, Mink and Sable. Stone Marten Boas, Electric
Seal Jackets, Persian Lamb Coats, Genuine Seal Coats.
Men's Fur Lined Coats, some lined with Mink, some with
Persian Lamb Collar and Cuffs, others with Collar and
Guffs of Russian Sable, and so on the fur stock will in
terest you. It is attracting a large number of Christmas
buyers, for nothing makes a more acceptable gift than
a piece of nice fur.
