ompt Dill' Which Is to Be Intro
duced In the Legislature Soon.

"Relief Benefits.
Wl'lio membeis of the Say Aug Homo
eYnnpiiny moti in lliu assembly loom on

house lust night rind elected the lol
loping olllccis for the coming year:

"At tho conclusion of the election them
jh a general jolllllcutlon with Itmbur
ger (diccbc upd lliiuld reiteshmentB on
the side. The ofiicciM elected will tuko
onicc on Januoiy I. The lepott for the
year icad by the societal y ut the meet
ing showed that eighty-seven lltes had
been attended dm lug the past year by
tho company with an nverngo attend
ance of seventeen men at each.
This last Is n most lemaikoble record,
eiy few companies mustoilng inoie
than live or six men at ablaze.
"Considerable Interest is being mani
fested in this city In wh.it ii Known tis
the "Fliemen's exempt bill," which Is
to be Introduced dut'ing 'Hie Coming'
icsiou of the leRlslatuic and which N
backed by the 00,000 volunteer tliemen
oi the state. The local Fiicmen's Itellef
association has appointed a commit
tee to wuit upon the five local legisla
tor with the view of seeming their
suppoit for the measuie.
Tills measure Is Intended pilncipully
to retain for the use of the volunteer
liiemcn the tax on foreign IUp insur
ance companies which now comes to
them under the piovisions oC the Clai
eney law. This would, of couise, only
apply to those in which a change is
mude fiom u volunteer to a paid de
partment, as at piesent pioposed In
tliis city.
The idea is to permit the organiza
tion In such cities of associations to
bo known as "Firemen's Exempt Asso
ciations," to consist of all volunteer
Ihemen who hae served a ceituin
miml-er of years. The money now
going to fliemen's relief associations in
these cities it is pioposed to have go
to these associations to be used in pay
ing sick benetlls. The bill is now
being diafted under the direction of a
(oinmittee appointed at the last state
liromen's convention.
Theic .lie seveinl membeis of the
Fliemen's Itellef. association who aio
wing to make an cffoit In the near
i ut in e to have the piesent benerit iato
if .: per day cut down. This Is said
to be the highest paid by any similar
association in the state, the mujoilty
liav lug benefits of only $3 a week.
Theiu aio two leasons which aio
.uHaiKcd by those who favor a reduc
tion of the benefits. The first one Is
that It is an Inccnthe to membeis to
be "laid up" just as long as they pos
Ihlv din after being injured at a flio.
i'liLie .lie -oiy few physicians who
wouldn't stinin a point or two in slgn
:ig a ceitllleato for a legular patient,
it is aigtuil.
The other ienon advanced Is that
one big flio with a tailing wall, explo
sion or some other catastrophe result
ing in the injury of Ufteen or twenty
men would completely wipe the fund
l"oi that yea i out of existence after the
licnellts would have been all paid. A
linitoini inte oC $! a week would seem
to br tho ilguie agiceuble to those fn
vpiing the l eduction.
Select Councilman Chittenden Is hope
fiil that when common council ic-or-gnnUes
net Thuisday night, which it
will If the special election Is held on
Tuesday, that bis Mil- depai tment ic
organUation onlinancc, which lias

chance of getting tluough that braifeh.
.Sevcinl of the membeis who lecently
passed in their checks, woie most vig
oiously and violently opposed to the

RIDICULOUS IDEA
OF ANOTHER STRIKE
Organizer Benjnmin James, of the
United Mine Woikois Refened
to the Matter in a Speech
in West Scranton.

James, uf the United Mine Woikeis ol
AmciK.il, addiessed a mass meeting ol
nilneis In St. David's hall, West Scran
ton, last evening, and spoke in a eiv
hopeful vein of the existing conditions
In the nnthiaelte legions He advo
cated the p.'itecting of the local oi
gnnlzatlons and Htlinulan d the men
with the thought that the eight-hour

occasion to l email; that he mav not

Tubiine man, Mr. James lidleuled the
published staiemuiit regaidlng the al
leged stilke among the mineis next
April, and In his nddiess spoke in put
as follows:
"My fi lends, I am pleased to be
among you once again nnd to know
that you are so well organized In ilu
Lackawanna valley. This is something
I luue looked loiwaid to lor sevoinl
years. When I witnessed the tumble
at Latimer on Sept. 10, 1S9T, I made a
flim lesolution to always do what f
could for the cause of labia. It was
then 1 stnited out to build tin an or
ganisation that would icllsve the con
dition of the nnthiaelte nilneis and
ciadicate some of the wiongs they en
dutul. "At that time theie weie but l.juo
