Largely Due to the Groat Output of Coal from the Mines Kingston Coal Company Hri Agreed to Sub mit the Matters Its Workmen Complain of to Arbitration Enginemen Requested to be Care ful Not to Run to the End of Switches Board for Today. Tranlc of all kinds Is brisk on the Delaware, Lackawnniui anil Western 1'itllroad linos now-n-dnyp, and on tho Hcrnnton division pnrllcularly licnvy Is tho tonnage of coal shipped from thews parts.

All the Laekawnnnu mines aie now in good ivorkliiK order, and indeed since the end or the htrlke there has bren barely nny Inlenuptlon In tho operation of the company collieiies. Differences to Be Arbitrated. Tho Kingston Coal company has de cided to allow the gilevances of the IMwardsvllle miners to be adjusted by arbitration, nnd thus terminate the strike declared by the men, as a issult of the company's non-com-pliarico with several demands pre sented. Between twelve and llftcn bundled men, employed nt Edwnrdd I1Ip, have been on strike since Dec. It!, and the Kingston people have now granted the stilkers several of the inlnor concessions, and have agreed that three arbitrators be chosen, to tettle the other dilllcultlcs. Chief among the requests granted is the semi-monthly pay. There has been a very general demand among the company's minors for this, and it will go into effect in January. The principal questions to be arbitrated are topping, and the case of Foreman Thomas Morgan. The men prefer several serious rharges of extortion against Morgan, whom they accuse of levying a tax upon some of the employes and com lHling applicants for positions to pay him certain sum. His removal has b'-en asked, but the company refuses in oust him until be has been legally (onvlcted. The company's tupping mips differ from those of the majoiity of the operators, the men claim, in asmuch as eight InMead of six inches of topping is required. These two important matters will be decided bv arbitration. The miners will choohe one arbitrator, the com pany another, nnd the third will bo selected by lhe.se two. For Lackawanna Enginemen. A bulletin lias been issued to Dela snie, Lackawanna and Western rail uiad enginemen, regarding reports that some enginenn.n in cliaige of the S00 class engines pull down too close to the ends of passing sldinss, when waiting for passenger trains to pass, thius leaving little cloaranc; between the 8oa cUi.w and 1,000 class engine. in passing. Knginemen are requested to be cupful about this and havo thMr engines back far enough to givu full cleninuce. Wilkes-Barre Trolley Men. Xot only arc the Scranton street car men up in arms for shorter hours and more pay, but the conductors and mo lormen of the Wyoming Valley Tiac tion company also have their griev ances, which will bo toman uw after noon presented to the olllceis of the company at Wilkes-Uurre. Tho men demand practically the same concessions as the local trolley men. They ask that the unsatisfac tory swing shift be done away with, and a two-shift system be inaugur ated, ouch of nine hours, with a com pensation of twenty cents per hour. President Ulgg. of tho company, is ox p"ctod to be in Wilkes-Hurre today. Regarding Intemperance. Jllne loretnen throughout the ai ycino region complain Unit since tho inauguration of the two weeks' pay, a number of miners are in the habit of drinking for a dav or two after pay and neglecting their duties.
