Atherton Bays It Will Be to tho Advnntago of the City if the Money Released from Mining En terprises Finds Its Way Into Man facturing Channels Attorney C. E. Daniels Also Takes a Cheerful and Hopeful View of the Futuro of This City. t Following ore two views ot the effect the elimination of the Individual coal operator from this region will have: D. B. ATHERTON. Tho city of Scranton hus reached a new epoch as well as has tho anthracite coal Industry. Scranton can no longer depend upon coal mining if lt.i to con tinue to prosper, grow and thrive. I bellevo that our capitalists who have large Interests In this community to protect will see to It thatat least apart of the money received from the Bale of these coal Interests Is placed In chan nels that will increase our manufac turing Industries, and put the city upon n more sound and better basis In dependent of the coal Interests entirely. I do not fear the retirement of tho Individual coal operator. On the con trary I believe that tho result will be benellclul to Scranton. The change will Increase the money circulation In this district, because It Is a well known fact that tho largo carrying companies are more liberal In their mining opera tions; It will do'iiwny with the com pany store which will largely Increase tho volume of business among Scran ton's merchants; Scranton being the metropolis of tho anthracite region, buyoiH will naturally come here to del their trading the moment they are re lieved of the company store; It will make the semi-monthly pay system gcnernl which will decrease the credit time limit one-half, and bring us so much nearer the true and only basis of business-cash. There are so many openings hero now for tho profitable Investment of capital that I would like to suggest a few: An open hearth steel plant; a plant for tho construction of all kinds of electrical apparatus; a tin plate plant; a wire factory; a concern to manufacture telephone supplies; fur all of which there Is nn unlimited demand. Any one of the above Industries, If lo cated In Scranton, would have tho en tire eastern market at their command, anil for commodities that an In con stant demand, and will be for many yeais to come. Nor H there a more centrally lo cated city for the distribution of such commodities than tho city of Scranton. Look on tho map, and you will find Scranton almost In the center of u elide whoso lines would cross Hoston, Huffalo, I'ittslniig and Baltimore, with five different lines of railroad extending in all directions. Such Industries as well as many nl leady located hoio would not be de pendent upon the coal business. Take for Instance tho Dickson Manufactur ing company, our silk mills, piano fac tory, axle woiks, drop forgo works, our bolt and nut works and spike fac tories, all of them are almost entirely Independent of the coal business, and work steadily without regard to the condition of tho coal trade. Such Industries aie what Scranton needs; what Scranton must have, and I for one nm willing to leave It to the bioad minded, liberal, progiesslve citi zen of tho city of Scranton to see that we get them, and with a little more en couragement from" those who have a selllsh Interest in the development of Scranton along the lines Indicated above It will make very little difference whether the coal business is In tho hands of tho few or the many. ATTORNEY 0. E. DANIELS. The absorption of tho Individual coal companies means the control of the anthracite coal trade by fewer men, and those men remote from the local Interests and the producing reclons. There will be both uenellts and disad vantages. There Is an up hill for every down hill; more than one rose for every thorn. So It seems to me will be the change In the anthracite coal tiadc. Unquestionably, the control of tho trade will be centralized. "What bene fits will result from that? It should mean that railroads would compete to tidewater more than heretofore. If that would follow, the price of coal would llkelv fall at tidewater and a wider market would bo found for the com modity. In my opinion, the miners themselves would be bettered In their dally work. There are exceptions, of course, but tho general proposition Is that the Individual operators have been moie exacting and have imposed gi eater hardships and restrictions upon their men than the larger companies have. Then, too, a depression In business Is felt more quickly by tho individual operator, and very often the larger and coal-carrying companies have been able to tide over slight business de pressions without an effect on the men, and sometimes even without their knowledge. It should result, too, that with fewer men to consider and handle tho questions which must arise be tween capital and labor, from time to time, there would be less disputes and a mote amicable settlement of thoso which did arise. The power of a few men In the settlement of the lecont coal strike was very apparent and very dominating. The fewer number of men In control of both capital and labor tho moie likelihood there will be of them meeting on a common ground, man to man. Tho great disadvantage of the deal lies far more to tho community than to tho miners themselves. It means that the corporation profits will not bo expended for the advancement of local Interests. They will go Into the ticas urles of men hundreds of miles away, and will bo used for tho furthering of business projects far removed from any thought of uur city. Heretofore we reaped the benefit of the wages and tho general profits. Now we lose the latter. If our city Is to continue to grow, something must take the place of that loss. Tho Individual operators have within their power tho making or mailing, at least In some degree, of our city for years to come. The pur chase price of the sales has been paid. Will It be expended in placing Indus tries and factories In tho city and val ley1' If It will, tho foundation will thus bo laid, that will make Scranton a busy Industrial city when tho duys of its chief product, coal mining, will have paused. True, outsiders do come here to Invest. Hut It l l'j homo fos- torlng of business that draws tho eye of the outsider. . Scranton has outgrown tho swaddling clothes of dependence upon the one in dustry of coal production for its life. Tho city Is dotted with manufacturing smokestacks that tell of activity in other Industrial lines. Hut the futuro will bo problematical,1 so far as con tinued growth nnd prosperity nro con cerned, unless there be additional In dustrial manufactories located here. If the sale money of tho mines bo trans formed Into these factories nnd mills, Scranton's futuro Is assured. 1 um not pessimistic enough to sny that Scran ton wilt dwindle and die unless the present Individual operators Invest In other channels. I bellevo It will not. But somen here must bo found people to caio for tho city's Industrial nnd financial Interests. And does not the sale of Individual mines open up that very opportunity to tho operators to advance tho city's Interests? If it be seized, it seems to me that the sale of the mines to the coal-carrying com panies avIII eventuate In a solid basis of prosperity that will not crumble with years nor lessen by production us coal necessarily must.

BY An Early Decision Is Expected from tho Court Mrs. Williams BrlngD Suit Against tho City to Recover $0,000 Damages for Injuries She Alleges She Sustained Mrs. Swartz Will Oppose Her Husband's Appli cation for a Divorce She Wants Counsel Fees Court House Notes. The viaduct case Is noy In the hands of Judge John P. Kelly, tho final ar guments having been conducted yes terday afternoon. It Is generally un derstood that the Judge will render an opinion within tho next two weeks, us the case will be taken to tho Su preme cottit, no matter which side wins, and It is desired to have the paper books ready, so that it can bo heard by that tribunal somo time in February. Tho case was, pretty thoroughly ar gued from the clay of tho first hear ing so that nil the attorneys did yes terday afternoon was to sum up tho various arguments before presented. Attorneys Burns nnd Strecter argued for the plaintiff and City Solicitor Vosbuig nnd Major Kvcrett Warren for tho defense. Tho defense contended that the $290,000 worth of bonds authorized by tho vote of tho people could not be counted In a statement of tho city's tnneiitcciness prepared for the. pur pose of showing that councils by au thorizing the construction of a. via duct had exceeded the two per cent, debt limit. With this $;')0,000 taken out, it was shown tint n margin of over $100,000 remained. Then for fear that court might de cide that this 1290,000 should bo counted In compiling such n debt statement, the attorneys for the de fense argued that the $100,000 debt contracted by the erection of a via duct would be an unliquidated claim and not such n debt ns the framers nf the constitution had In mind when they framed that clause of the con stltutlon fixing the debt limit in mu nicipalities. The attorneys for the plaintiff de nied both these contentions, and In sisted that the $290,000 should ba In cluded when ascertaining w bother or not councils had exceeded the two per cent, debt limit, and that the debt NEW CENTURY'S GREETING.

In reply to these arguments, the defense showed thnt the! plans and specifications were on file In the city engineer's olllco and that tho fact that they were not ac tually attached to tho ordinance could not lwsslbly Invalidate tt. It was also contended by Messrs. Vosburg and Warren that tho title of an ordlnnnce was never Intended to be an Index to it, and that the other things which tho moaRuro provides for In addition to tho erection of a. via duct nro Included In that part of tho title reading "upon certain condi tions."
