COUNCILS TO
ACT TONIGHT
WILL BEGIN WARFARE ON
TROLLEY COMPANY.
Resolution to Be Adopted Calling
for the Company to Continue Its
System of Transfers and, If It Re
fuses, Eianchlses Will Be At
tackedA Tax Is to Be Imposed
Upon the Company That Will
Probably Amount to 5 Per Cent, of
Gioss Receipts.
lletalluiotv schemes to cause tho
Hcranton Railway company nil sorts
of double and annoyume are, It Is
understood, being hatched up by sev
eral of the councllmen who will en
deavor to secitie their passage through
louhcIK
U is expected that some ot these
will bob up nt tonlght'a tegular meet
ing of the common council. Among
thor -which nre mentioned are otdltt
untes ptovlding for the l uniting of a
tertnln number of car nnd providing
thut nn fine shall bo collected from
anv passenger who has not a seat.
Then theie are some who would
fuor n lesolutlon ptovlding that no
mtitH than two cars shall Ih? tun up
or down West Lackawanna avenue
oer the Lackawanna crossing when
any pain ato waiting at Ninth or Sev
enth streets. Still othets ptopose ot
dlnames tliicctlng that all cats shall
bo heated n ceitaln temperntutc dur
ing the winter season and compelling
the company to spt inkle the sheets
travel sed by Its ttackr. A spt Inkling
ordinance Is now pending, but It pro
vides only for the spt Inkling of tin
paved "trpots,
Then ato bomo of the couucllmen,
however, who will oppose tho passage
of such letallatory measures not be
cause they wish to uphold the inllway
company, but because they believe
that such leclslatlon will havo the
effect of seating off capital. Select
Councilman Chittenden Is one of thee.
A TAX IS THI3 THINCS.
"I Know," said he yesterday, "that
measuies are being prepared and will
bo Introduced In councils Intended to
pester the life out of this company,
but I don't believe they should be
adopted, I for one shall vote asalnst
them. I fax or the Immediate adop
tion of an ordinance taxing the com
pany as heavily as wo can, and I be
lieve that existing rules and regula
tions ko et nine it should be strictly
enfoi ced, but I don't believe it's pol
icy to go nny further.
"This city Is ut a ciltletil point In
Its history, and It won't be wise for
us to adopt any measures which will
have the effect of frightening away
capitalists who ate desltous of Invest
ing capital In Scranton enterprises."
The license tax nidlnancc cannot bo
acted upon tonight by the select coun
cil ns the call for tho nieetlnir an
nounces that It Is to be lor special
business only. That measuie has
passed thtee readings in the common
council, nmended so as to provide for
v tax of only one per cent, of the gross
tecelpts. This Is the amendment, the
adoption of which, It Is claimed, was
secured by Detective Hart is, of the
Municipal league.
When It Kot over to tho select coun
cil It was passed on two readings and
then tefened to tho license commit
tee for amendment. The committee
lcnoited It after about two months
without any amendments, and then It
was laid on the table for the time be
ing, on account ot the prevailing dlf
fetencc of opinion as to whethet a
tax of $100 a cat or a tax on tho
gioss tecelpts of the company should
be levied.
nnsoumoN wiu. pass
Theie Is no question but that Coun
cilman Vaughan's resolution dclatlng
a forfeltute of the companv's fian
chlses if they fail to Issue tumsfei.s
within ten das of It spassaRO will
pass both blanches of councils to
night with a tush. Just what legal
steps will be taken If the company
tefuses to suo ttansfeis has not ct
been decided.
Theie ate a numbei of ways of
biinglng the matter before couit. An
application might be nnido for a man
damus compelling the company to Is
sue ttansfers or for a permanent In
Junctlor icstralning It fiom lunnltiK
its cats on the giound that it had
violated the conditions of Its fran
chises. This latter plan would call for
a decision from the couit as to wheth
er the franchise could bo forfeited or
not.
Then again the councils could direct
that a poitlon of tho company's tracks
lie toin up. This would bilwr the com
pany Immediately Into court usklng
for nn Injunction testialnlng the city
fiom teatlng up its tracks and tho
whole case could then be reviewed.
Quo wan .into proceedings for the an
nulment of the company'n charter
could also be brought bofote the at
torney ccneinl of tho state.
At nny rate, tho understanding now
seems to be that no matter which
couiso is adopted, an application will
be made for a temporary Injunction
testraltilng the company from refus
Inpr to Issue transfets until such time
as a final settlement of tho case is
made. It may bo many weeks befoie
an opinion would bo handed down, and
unless this injunction was granted, tho
citizens would bo compelled to put up
with the company's order for some
time.
AVUST SIDH COMMITTING
A committee fiom the AA'est Set un
ion boatd of trade, consisting of J. J.
Dales, Robert J. AVIllams and C, 13.
Daniels waited upon City Solicitor
A'osbutg yestetday afternoon and of
fered him their heaity co-operation
in any steps which might bu taken
to cither compel the company to is
sue ttansfers or to revoke Its fran
chises. They offered hlra ho services
of an attorney to assist hint in fight
ing the case.
Here ate some of the opinions ex
pt eased by people about the action of
the company:
T. J. Jennings, AVesL Sci anion "The
man who issued that order providing
for tho abolition or the transfer ss
tern made a serious mlstak. The
successful manager should put forth
evuv effojt to please hlr pitton in
stead of making them the tuibjecle of
his displeasure. Ho contends that the
company Is not making money. That's
not a Rood reason. It could make
money if It was doing business on a
legitimate capital. The company
tshould be foiced to glvo to a long
suffering and a patient public, at
least the kind of a service that It
promised lo glvo when It secured grat
is the strectB of thin clly of outs, t
noticed In IMttsbutg when I was there
a few weeks ago that though thoic
ato three competing lines of sheet
railway each company Is obliged to
give a transfer lr the linos ot its tv.
competitors."
TAVOHS A TAX.
Attorney D. J. Reedy "The act of
this man Sllllmnn Is so nan on and so
apparently retaliatory for tho .svinpa
thy extended by the publl to the
striking motormen and conductor that
councils should lose no time in adopt
ing The Ttlbune's suggestion tefjatd
lng the imposition of a flvo per cent,
tax upon the compart 's gross tecelpts.
Drastic measures tuUBt be ttl.cn lo
bring this cotporatlon to a full it-all-ration
of the Importance of the ftan
chlses and ptlvlleges ginttted to It for
the asking."
Deputy Mat.shal Claik Low ry "I'd
like to express myself fully upon this
Question, but what I think about It
mightn't look well In ptlnt. I think
that this ptoves Slllltnan to be a nar
ow guttged man and one not lit to
manage a company of any kind. Steps
should bo taken at once to tax the
tompany as heavily as It m be taxed
under the law."
Attorney O. Ii. I'nrtildge "Tliu or
der to my notion Is the veriest child's
Play. It Is anything but business or
what might bo expected Horn a cot
poratlon which has lived on the people
of this city for so long."
Otto I). Mycts, nldeiiiran Seconl
ward If Scranton people have any
lights whatever in tho sheets of the
ultv, then tho Unto Is at hand fot the
ma or and the councils to asset t those
tights. If not. then let the majesty of
tho people assert Itself dttiing the
strike and walk. Touch the earnings
ot tho company In n ltal spot, and
someone will soon cry quits and do
away with the revengeful older.
THIS IS THH CLIMAX
M. 13. Sunders The taking away of

as proposed by Genet al Manager Sll

of insults which the Set anion public

Milng touch to an abomlnnble and ir
regular service In foul nnd ill-smelling
cats, at most times crowded boond
enduianie and tun without tegatd to
public convenience or any deslte to
serve the people. To me tho older
savots only of lovengo a revenge
against thousands of people who
tecognlzing the inhumanity of the
nilway company to Its employes nnd
Its disregard of public sentiment
chose to stand on the side of the wotk
Ingman In the retent shlke against

If I was bete nt the time the stilke
was settled, I would have advised tho
strikers to hold out for their full de
mand and l of use to submit to this
teptehenslblp sliding scale, which per
mits the company to knock four years
ot cheap labor out of a man and then
fire him. In view of tho lenewed pub
lic clamor against thh cotporatlon, It
would not sut prise me if tho men
would take advantage of a very favor
able opportunity to lectify the mistake
they permitted the wllv traction mag
