HAS
Will 'Remain In That Condition for
an Indefinite Period Owing to a
Strike the Men Ordered Miners at
the Oxford Dissatisfied with the
Hate of Wages Paid Them The V.,
lu & W. Board for Today An In
novation a the Shops of Lacka
.vjanna Company.
Work has been Rimpciidd ot the Mt.
rieasant colliery of the 131k Hill Conl
and Iron company for an Indefinite
period, and while overtures have been
nado for nn adjustment of the differ
ences tho end Is not yet In sight. The
trouble arose a few days ago over thi!
discharge of a. mun named Miller, who
was dismissed for noRleet o duty in
running one of the elevators at tlio
shaft.
Tlio employes took tip the boy's
cause, quit work and applied to Super
intendent Bryden for his reinstate
ment. This was rcfusid, and In cou
scciucnco a strike va- oideivd by the
CUt. Pleasant local. The miners alsu
claim that they are not bclns paid tin
yardage promised for -uttlns rock In
the Clark vein.
The trouble teltitltiir to young Mlller'H
dl&cliarRO date.i back befoie the strike
in Kciiteinbej-. He hud been workliiK
outhldo for $1.10 u day and when the
men returned to woik ho was pro
moted to a position paying $1.23 a day
under the old schedule. With the pro
mised 10 per cent. Increase the job was
worth .U.37.i per day.
When Miller received his earnings
ho was only paid at tha rate of $1.10 a
day. A complaint was made to . the
boss, who Informed -Miller tlmtSl.10
was all the Job over paid, and 'if he
did not HKb it he could bo to the otllco
and get his time.
The matter was i eported to the
grievance committee and when they
failed to effect a settlement the strike
was ordered.
Will Keep Away from Mines.
At a meeting or the Oxford local
union, held Saturday evening, the em
ployes decided to remain away from
tlie mines until tho existing dlffeiences
between the men and the operators has
been ratlsfactorlly adjusted. Kver
since the People's Coal company be
gan operating tho (olllery. theio has
Icon a difference of opinion between
the employes and tho operntois regard
ing the scale of wages to be paid for
tho mining of coal In tho IJtder vein.
The company claims they are payinc,1
the same scale of wages as paid ly
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern company. The same scale does not
apply to every shaft, on account of
the dlfllcultles encountered in mining
(oal in tho different veins. The Ox
ford men demand tho same rate as Is
paid by the Lackawanna company, the
highest being $1.0S per car. They claim
that but 9S cents is paid them.
Representatives of the company and.
a committee of tho men visited several
shafts on Saturday for tho purpose of
ascertaining the rates received, and
made comparisons of the different
vorklngs, and another conference will
bo held, at which an amicable adjust
ment Is expected. The colliery has
been Idle several days as a result of
the strike.
Innovation at the Shops.
Another innovation at the Lacka
wanna car Miops is the recent intro
duction of a new glass plating and em
bossing plant, which has been installed
in the old pattern rooms. Here all of
tho glass used for windows, doors, etc.,
will bo plated and embossed by an ex
port, Edward O. rtclnwald, who was
with the Pullman company in Chicago
for twelve years pxior to coming here
recently.
Tho plant has been equipped at an
expense of $1,000 and is supplied with
acid tanks, where the glass Is foiled
nnd designed. It Is the only plant of
its kind in Scranton, and the work is
only done in the larger cities. Hydro
fluoric acid is used In immersing tho
glass, and cither the gold or silver
tints are produced. There is also a
steam table and room for drying the
glass after being plated.
A number of noticeable Improve
ments have also been made In the paint
shops, where the work for the entire
service Is done under the personal su
pervision of Master Painter B. E. sill
ier. A large number of Pullman and
passenger coaches are now on the floor
being re-lettered and painted and show
tho superior work accomplished. The
panels for Superintendent Clarke's pri
vate car are also being painted under
the direction ot Mr. Miller.
The new paint shop being erected
near the machine shops Is rapWly
rearing completion and will be ready
for occupancy In a few weeks. All the
locomotives will bo painted in the new
bhop after being turned out of the ma
chine shops.
The comot, No. 9S, formerly used as
a private car by ex-Superlntcndcnt A.
C. Salisbury, Is now in tho shop under
going repairs. A now cab Is being built
over the boiler and the little flyer will
be repainted and lettered before being
turned out for use.
A number ot freight and passenger
locomotives are undergoing repairs in
the machine shops and will soon bo
leady for service. Tho interior ot this
nhop is being treated to a coat of
white wash and other changes ate be
ing made which will be noted later.

DOINGS OP
THE COURTS
JUDGES HELD A BRIEF SESSION
SATURDAY MOBNINO.
John Lukan Must Stand Sentence
for Selling Liquor Without a Li
censeNew Court Rule Which Will
Greatly Lessen tho Number of
Surety Cases Three Applications
for Renewal of Revoked Licenses
Refused Equity Court,Grand Jury
and Constables' Returns Today.
Court convened for a short time
Saturday mornlnff to permit of tho
acknowledgement of deeds by the retiring-
sheriff ond to clear away other
business for tho opening of th new
court year, today.
Judgo ArcubftM handed down nn
opinion holding that the conviction
of John Lukan for selling liquor with
out a license was regular nnd that
Lukan must stand sentence.
Lukan keeps a bottling establish
ment on Cnpouso avenue. The Men's
union accused him of selling1 at retail
and prosecuted him for selling liquor
without a license. Ho was convicted
of this charge, but when called for
sentence, his attorney, Joseph O'Brien,
contended that Lukan could not be
sentenced for selling without a license,
but, at the most, could only be sub
jected to tho lesser penalty attaching
to n violation of his bottlei's license.
Judgo Archibald says in overruling
Mr. O'Bi ten's contention:
"If the defendant having a llcensa
has been Improperly convicted, he ban
his remedy by an appeal to the court
above us, where our errors, If any, will
bo reviewed nnd corrected. But so far
as tho case now stands the sentenco
must follow tho record as It has been
made. As tho defendant has boon cou
lcled of relllng without a license, tho
penalty for that offense must be Im
posed. Let the defendant bo called.
On his failure to appear let a capias
issue."
CHANGE OF HULKS.
An impoitant order was handed
down adding' to the court ruins one
which will prohibit in a great meas
ure tho multiplication of criminal
cases, and consequently cut down the
foes which aldermen, Justices and
constables draw from tho county
treasury.
Tho uile reads as follows: "No sep
arate cases of surety will be enter
tained where the defendant has been
returned on any other charge between
the Fame parties growing out of the
samo ti ansaction."
Almost invariably, a large number
of tho aldermen nnd Justices havo
been wont to hitch a surety case on
to every assault and battety case. The
surety case would of course be dis
posed of with tho assault and battery
case, but tlK" maglstiates and consta
bles would collect lees for two cases.
Couit refused to grant applications
for licences for the remainder of the
year for three places where the licenses
were leccntly revoked for Sunday sell
inir. Tim applications lefused were:
Jacob Faust, for Peter Hoss' place,
at !02 West Lackawanna avenue.
Harry Flax, for Wolf Johnson's
place, at 32S Penn avenue.
Thomas Jlfkltw, for the old White
house, nt 113 Penn avenue.
