MACHINISTS FORM
AN ORGANIZATION
Two Hundred of the Employes of the
Dickson Works Meet at
Economy Hull.
About 00 of the employes uf the
Dickson Locomotive -works, the IMok
.ou I'enn avenue shops, the Delawnre,
Luckuu unna und AVestern rntlroiul
whops, and other mnuhlne whops in the
ottj' met In Kuonomy hall yesterday
ufternoon for the purpoje of funnlnsr
an organization. The movement Is the
outcome of the efforts of the Intel na
tional Association of Machinists to
secure :t nine-hour day throughout the
country next Hprlnp. The discussion
of the mutter by thu machinists in the
I various whops In the city h.is occa-
tinned much iiifiulry fmm u large pro-
liortlon of men employed In all the
machine shops, holler shop, foundries.
etc., as assistants or on a class of woik
not requltlnsr a suillclent amount of
skill to entitle such n woikman to
members-hip In any existing: order of
Journeyman mechanics.
Tho machinists' association, lielns:
nilHlated with the American Federa
tion or Labor, Is In touch with tho
organized blacksmiths, bollerniakeis,
moulders and patternmake-is, but the
considerable proportion of other em-ploj-cs
were not In a position to co
oiserate. These men bcins: anxious to
laiow what effect a nine-hour day
would have on them anil to prepare
themselves for It, desired to organize
and co-operate with tho organizations
already existing which would be -n-KUFreil
In the movement.
It is the purpose of all to woik In
entlro harmony with their companies
autt at a later time to in some way
come In touch with the ofllcers of their
companies and secuio from them full
information as to the tllfllcultles. If
any, In tho way of a nine-hour dav
and ir possible remove those dlflioul
'tlcs. It Is the desire of all that noth
ing bo overlooked which may later
cause dissatisfaction, but that the en
tire matter of the reduction In hours
and readjustment of wanes be consid
ered from the standpoint of both tho
companies and the men that there may
o no strike while the movement Is
pending, nor any grievance committees
fiom any one class who have been
overlooked.
ine meeting decided to oraunlz.-
what the Ametlc.in Federation of
Labor designates as a Federal Labor
union, the charter for which Is ar
ransed to include those who art- not
eligible to an association of Journey
men mechanics. For the puipot-c of
securing a charter and dlspoMn? of
tho details of organizing, a teinpoi-aiy
organization was etfected, consisting
of Humphrey It. Campbell, who s
president of the Scranton lodge of the
International Association of Machin
ists, as president: John Williams, from
the Dk-ksou Locomotive shops, record
ing secretary; James Q. Martin, of the
Dickson locomotlvo holler shops, finan
cial seeietary. and Harry Adams, of
tho Dickson company's 1'onn avenue
shops, Inside sentinel.
It was decided to endeavor to form
a national organization of the samo
class of men now militated with the
American Federation of Labor and a
commltteo was appointed for tho pur
pose. Over eighty men Joined as char
ter memheis, nnd it was decided to
hold the next two meetings open for
the admission of charter members.
The balance of those present being' af
llllated with tho machinists and other
associations were not eligible to mem
bership, but were piepent to lend their
aid and support, and vveie In hearty
sympathy with tho movement.
Uefore adjourning tho president
spoke a few wouls to the members,
telling them they weie not organized
for a stilko but to avoid one, and In
order to have oveiy thing so well con
sidered and arranged bofoio a move Is
mado that neither tho companies nor
the men would bo wronged In any par
ticular, and w here there was no wrong
there would bo no trouble. h0 also
cautioned them against taking their
company's time for ngltutlng tho union
or discussing It, their noon hour being
suillclent, and asked every man to so
conduct himself that his company
would want more union men.
The meeting adjourned, subject to
the call of tho olllccrs when they shall
iiavo received thu charter from tho
American Federation ot Labor.

REFUSE NOT
THEMVIOR
LEARNED DISCOURSE BY REV.
JAMES M'LEOD, D. D.
"Seo That Yc Refuse Not Him That
Speaketh" Is Mado the Text of nn
Interesting and Scholarly Sermon
by tho Pastor of the Elrst Presby
terian Church When. Jesus Speaks
His Words Seem Irresistible To
Refuse Him Is a Deadly Sin.
In tho First Presbyterian church
yesterday morning Rev. James Mc
Lcod, D. rX, the pastor, preached a
sermon on "Itefuse Not Him." Ho took
his text from Hob., xll:23, "See that
yo refuse not Htm that speaketh." Ho
said:
Who I3 this "that i.pcaketh"? Wheio does He
speak? What docs lie aj? Why does Ilo speak?
And why thU solemn caution; "sec that o
refuse not Him"?
The. questions open up a wide field for enie.
ful observation and for serious rcllcctlon. The
Held Is so broad that the longert life Is not long
enough to traverse it, and tho nubJecU It pre.
stilts for our devout contemplation, are so
tniti-, and so Important, and so profound, that
the keenest and most capacious mind Is Incap
able of grasping their full slgnltlcai.ee. One
might as will expect a up to hold all the
waters of the boundless sea, a.s evpect a gospel
prearhe? to coiupnss all the Infinite truths of
(!od, within the narrow- circle of our finite un
derstanding. But aa a cup may hold enough
ot thu cre.it ocean tu fuinlsh a sample f'ir
examination, or to give one nn Idea ot Its
quillty and of its taste, so a brief gopel act 11.011
may contain cmugh of divine truth to arrest
attention, uid to nwaken inquiry, and to incliuc
one to examine It, and taste it, and thus prove
Iti quality and Its wvlng power. May It please
Cod the Holy Splilt bo to use this discourse.
"O taste and see that tho Lord Is good: bleated
Is the man that trustcth In lllm." Cod forbid
that any of us hould be guilty ot the deadly
lolly and of the deadlier Jii ot refusing "Him
tint speaketli." For rounder:
1. "lllm that rpeakelh 'I Who Is He? Your
tnsvvcr U uady. Ilo Is Ji"-u, the Son ol CoJ,
our Divine ltedi-inier, 'Ihiiefue, 111 view ot Ills
c).altcd inrxii and of III endurable work; be
cause He "Is over all, !od Morcil foievei";
becau-e of Ills inllnlle- lmi f-.r 11 guilty world;
because of the unspeakable and cmla-llng woes
that arc lmolic-d In His rejection, mid because
of the ineffable ar.d tvrilastlng jojs that an
Involved In Ills acceptance "See that ye iefuc
not lllm that speakith."
Tho rontcxt make the admonition of the
text more emphatic. Note the rontraot be
tween Mount Smal and Mount Zlon. The voire
that fpol.e from Sinai was so awful, nnd the
sight of that binning mountain was o tenlhtc,
that even Mo'es, the man ef jiod, slid: "I
exccedinglj- tear and quahe." Hut why this
dn-adfiil tenor? It was lieimi-e that thundeiing
voice fiom Sinai was the vuke of btun Jiiithe.
While tlut voice i.f Cod pioililmtd tint Mho
law is liolv, ami jn-t, and good, ii uUo pic
elalnuil another gnat tiuili, namely, "that no
11 an is Justlilcd by the law, in the idght of Hod."
Th- voice Item sinai lsvies this tearful prorki
millon: "Currtd Is every one that lonlltiuctli
ii'it in all things that mo written in the book
of tho law- to do them." 'I hat piorUmatioii

ITS SIM AND SUIlSTANCi:.
(j llul the nlaio where Jesus speaks mvt
i Iratl-, and most lovingly, is the Itlblr, Of
this Hock It may be kald that Jems t inltt Is
llf sum and Mibstance. "lhe testimony of Jesus
Is' the spirit of prophet j-," and all the histories
and poetry nnd get-pels and epistles, as well as
all the piupheelcit ot tha lllble, bear their tee
llmony to ( lirlt. Iliry testify ol lllm, and
through tliem, lie tpe-akJ to us. "5ee," there
foie, "that je refuse not lllm that speaketh"
In this holy Hook.
Ida lllhlo l-t preeminently the Saviour's book,
for Ills Holy Spirit Is Its author, but it is also
rte-emtncntlj' tha tinner's book, for it was
"written for our learning, that wn through
patience and lomfort of tha Scriptures might
li.iv "hope." Had tt not been for Him who
speaks to us In the Hlhle, our knowledge of
Cod would be limited to what we might Icatn
of lllm fiom the l-xik ef niturc. Hut while th
Hook of Nature was tho first book that Cod
gave to man, It hat pleased lllm to nupplcment
that good old book with this reiver, and clearer,
and .fuller, and more satisfactory revelation of
Himself. "Cod, who at sundry times and in
divers manners rpoko in time pist unto the
fathers of tho prophets, hath In these last dajs
spoken unto us by Ills son." ThU makes the
lllble a very serious and a scry solemn book,
as well as a very Instructive and blessul book;
and when we read the words of Jesus, we ought
t.i see to It tint wo "refuse not lllm that
srtaketh."
.'!. Hut what docs Jesus say? He makes known
unto us the mind, the will, the purpose, the
truth, the love, and the very heart of Cod.
Jesus Christ is the ltevralcr ol God, the
Father. "No man know-cth the Son, but the
Father; tieltlur knovveth any man the Father,
save the Son, and ha to whomsoever the Eon wilt
reveal lllm." If, In the revelation that Jesus
has made ot Himself and of Cod the Father, and
of the Holy Ghost, we cannot find the path to
hnpplnces hem and to a blessed Immortality
hereafter, then our cause Is hopeliss. For there
Is 110 other person or revelation In tho universe
that can help us, In tho least degree, II wo
refuse lllm that speaks to us from Cethsemane,
and fiom Calvary, and from Ills open lomli.
and fiom Ills throne in liravrti. "Neither Is
there salt alien in any other; for there is none
oilier name under heaven given among nun,
whereby vie must be saved."
In his anxiety to save sinners note: (a) How
He wains and thteitcm them. "See that jc re-fu-c
not Him that speaketh." Why? Rcratiso
"if tiny i-scined rot who refused Him that
spoke on eaith, n.uih mote shall not we escape,
If we turn away from Him that speaketh from
hraven." llusc aic very solemn words, and so
too are the words tint lmmcdtatelj- follow- them,
When the Son of Cod spoke from Slnal, His
"voice then shoik the earth, but now He hath
promlsi-l, saving. 'Yet once more I shake not
the caitlt onlj', but al-,0 heaven.' Wherefore we
nceivlng .1 kingdom which cannot be moved, let
us have grace, vvluieby we may sirve Cod
acceptably, with reverence and godly fear, for
our Cod is 1 consuming fire."
It Is a blessed truth that "Cod Is low."
Your attention was called to It last Sabluth, and
I trust It made a holy and lasting lmprrsion
upon u. Hut it is ci-milly true that Cod will
punish those who reject the Cospcl of His blessed
son: "For our God is a eonsumlng Are." The
thought that salvation was offered and tint tt
was rejected, and that the pleidlngs of Divine
love wen- resisted must constitute A part and,
perhips, a chief part ot the woes of perdition.
A guilty conscience U a pnpetual toimtnt, and
that 1 01 mini mu-.t be intensified nio-,t acutely,
bj- the memorj of sllahted opportunities arid of
ahu ed privlliges vvhlih All thu soul with end
less renior-e. May not this be the wouii that
dieth not, and Ihc (in- tint U never quenched?
Let u-i be will aiiud tint It Is Divine love
that Induces Je-ns to warn and to threaten sin
nets. "Sec thai jr uIiim? not , lllm that speik

These who an- hridhss of thee warnings, and
who semi ilcWimined to take their ehaiues for

MENTION OF
MEN OP HOUR
SECRETARY OP NEW STREET
RAILWAY COMPANY.
He Is a Typo of the Aggressive
Young Business Men Upon Whom
tho Puturo of tho City Largely De
pendsAttorney Charles P. O'Mal
ley aa a Raconteur and Wit Great
Work on the Gridiron of Dr. Okas.
' Gelbert Fred Phillips as a, Min-strelman.
If John II. Utooks, tho secretary nnd
chief actlvo representative of tho now
street car company carries Into his
newly assumed duties tho dash and
energy which hns characterized Nhls
activities In other directions, the new
company will have no cause to re
gret his selection for this all-Important
ofltce.
Mr. 11 rooks litis the happy faculty of
doing well everything he undertaken
to do. In his school days ho Interest id
himself In baso ball and became the
recognized leading Inflclder of the col
lege world, and because of his excel
lence as a player and popularity with
the team was made Its captain. Ho
took to golf when the game began
to be played hero nnd today he Is not
only the undisputed local champion,
but It Is claimed fop him that ho has
no superior among tho amateurs of
tho country at large. A few yeats
ago, upon arriving nt the ago xvhen
he was cnlled upon to cast about for
a life occupation, ho choso n business
career, and interested himself In the
firm of Floroy ."i lirooks, dealers In
sporting goods nnd cameras. It Is
now one of the leading and best pay
ing business concerns In the city, nnd
most of Its success hns been achieved
since .Mr. litooks Identified himself
with the firm.
It is understood that the Idea of
the new railway originated with Mr.
Hrooks nnd that It was through his
efforts tho company xvas capitalized.
Tho matter of securing the franchise
and attending to tho hundred nnd one
other Important details preliminary to
the construction of the road have been
left to the direction of Mr. Hrooks.
Ho is n striking example of tho kind
of young men who go to make Scran
ton the llvelj", hustling city that it Is,
and upon whom the future of the city
depends.
There are manj ver" clever lacon
teuts in this city and 'many1 men ipos
sessed or the tare gift of repartee In
a highly cultivated degree, but nearly
everyone who has heard him Is willing
to accede thu palm In this particular
lino to Attorney Charles P. O'Mal
le.v, or "Chai ley," as excrj'one calls
him. "Charley" Is usually tho to:t3t
master at the delightful social ses
sions given cx'orj- now nnd then by
th" local lodge of Elks.
He has the happy faculty of mak
ing witty Failles on lhe spur of the
moment. His humor Is spontaneous
and that's wheieln Its merit lies, it Is
not thought out befoi ehund nnd he
needs but the slightest suggestion to
ttttn a happj" rematk upon. He has a
fund of good stoilcs that, like Mope,
"springs etetnnl."
Tharo Is a story going th.' rounds
about a certain lawyer, whom sonio
ate mean enough to i-ay Is "Ohnilay."
but he disavows "all connection with It.
This ceilain lawyer, whoever he was,
was defending a certain person
charged with selling liquor without 1
llcpits-e. The prosecution bad a pro.ty
good case and even hnd a big photo
graph of the outside of the alleged
speakensx-. showing a. nice pyramid1 of
whiskey bottles In one ot the win
dows. The nlmve-montloned ret tain law--cr
for ll;- defense, of court. had to
examine this picture nnd Willi? so do
ing, by Iho HTMost accident, of course,
he ' -uoned to have an Inky pen In
his hand. Also, bv the mernst acci
dent, of couii-e. 11 dab of the ink from
the pen ha opened to fall upon tho
pyramid of bottles, completely obscur
ing them from the public gaze. Th''
picture wai duly piesented to the Jury
for examination and they finally
agred upon a verdict of not guilty.
Tho uncontrovertible fact that the
bottles could not b" seen Is said to
havo had a little effect In assisting
them to arrive at this eon.-Iuslon.
The magnificent work upon th grid
Iron this year of Dr. Charles t'ielbert,
of this cltj. has again made liltu one
ot tho foot ball heroes of the country.
Thoie are lew men who, after retir
ing fiom the collegiate uic-na witn
well-enrned laurels, continue remain
ing In a state of physical perfection,
nnd at tho end of five or six years
can play practically ns strong a game
as when In the prime of their careers.
With Dr. (ielbert, however. It Is dif
ferent. Ho played at the University
of Pennsylvania back In the early
'On?, ar.d his work" ut half-b'aek and
end hns gone down In foot ball an
nals ns 11 standard for aspiring young
giants. In '01, 'W and '96 ho wat
chosen for one of tho end positions on
the All-American team, and thera
xvor candidates In the field for the
places In those days who wete far
front what mlgnt be toimed slow.
Last yeur and this. Dr. Oelbert has
played end for the Duiiuesno Country
and Athletic club, of Pittsburg, which
annually puts on tho gridiron a con
stellation of dazzling foot ball stars.
Kx-ery account of the team's matches
contained glowing tributes to his
proxvess. Besides being a foot ball
player of renown, ho Is also nn all
around athlete, and played on lhe
Pennsylvania base ball, -s well as foot
ball team. He Is of splendid build,
and for a heavy man Is exceedingly
swift ot fool.

Common Councilman Fred Phillips,
of tho Eleventh ward, Is going to bo
one of the star features of the Jungsr
Mnennorchor mlnsttel show at Muslo
Hall tomorrow night. Ho'h Rolns to
deliver himself of a monologue, and
thnt he's going to make a lilt goes
without saying, because Fitd Is 11
"natural born funny man."
'Tho man with tho expansive smile"
for that's what he's generally known
ns, is about tho only man in councils
who doesn't get mad If things aro go
ing against him. He Just leans back
In his chair, If one of his pot sclu-mni
falls or If the chairman calls him off,
and smiles and such a smile. It's
se-nrth seelncr. and If he tries It on with
fhls faco blackened, ho can have his
audience with him without saying a
word.
Phillips is so well thought of by Ms
Democratic brethren In the Eleventh
xvurd that ho has hcon renominated to
to succeed tilmsrilf.

WILL FIGHT THE
$U00 LICENSE FEE
Argument That Is to Be Put For
ward by the Liquor Eoalers to
Escape the Big Foe.
How to escape tin- payment of the
$1,100 license fee this year Is now the
all-engrossing pioblem among the city
liquor dealers.
Scranton, thy contend, will not be
come a second class city In the matter
of government until the first Monday
In April and as the licenses are Issued
to go Into effect, they should not be
tequlred to pay more than Is teriulred
for 11 license In 11 third class city.
The distinction they would make Is
that while Scranton Is now. nnd has
been since last Thursday a city of tho
second class, Its second class form ot
government docs not obtain till Mon-daj-,
April 1. and until the second class
charter goes Into actlvo operation, tho
city Is not subject to any teeoud class
city laws, and In consequence the II
enso feo exacted In a second class city
can not be exacted before the second
class city ehifYter Is In operation.
As iiirainst this argument the conten
tion is made that the license laws for
various cities are not n pail ol tne
charters of the city, but wholly Inde
pendent of It, and that as soon as this
city was proclaimed by the governor
to be a second class city, the license
laws for second class cities went Into
effect here.
Tho question xvill be tested In tho
courts. The Itetall Liquor ueuieis
Protective association bus already
taken steps to this end and a vigorous
light against tho payment of the high
er license will bo mntle.
Tho liquor men believe that if they
etcapo tho $1,100 Heme this year they
will ercapo It for all time, as they are
expecting that .1 bill revising the li
cense laws In second eluss cities to be
udmlnstered bj uu excise commission
acting Independent of tho Judges will
be paii'iod bv the lues-nt legislature.
Such a bill Is being drafted by the
Qttoyltes, It Is said, as one of the means
of destioylng the Fllnu-Mugeo eouttol
of Pltt-jburg.

"I am not a prophet, hut It Is my
purpose ,as far as I am able, to give a
sketch of the American citizen as hi
should be In this century, if America

Important In any other hind aa in
Ameilca.
"Tho citizen of the new century
should bo a careful, sinecro voter, for
the republic is to bo built not by bul
lets but bj- ballots."
The doctor believes that tho church,
prompted by the right motives, can
accomplish much towards malting tho
new citizen what he should be. "Twenty-seven
million professed Chilstiuns
can do almost anything to sax-c tho
land," said he.
Dr. Glflln has been told thut tho
rood, conscientious man docs not al
ways muko a good candidate, or that
when ho did unsvver thesa conditions
ho x us Iti many cases soon changed to
it sinner upon taking tho oath of ofllec.
Social conscientiousness, ho believes,
will regulate this.
"Now that wo havo got to bo In the
second class, wo should havo good,
competent ofllcers lu control and not
men who cannot successfully run a
corner grocery store.
"How are x-o to reach this develop
ment." he usked. "It has been sug
gesetd that a certain portion of a
man's lire bhould bo set nslde for edu
cation In politics and political ques
tions. This Is done In Germany to
make) Its soldiers, and could bo done tu
America to make Its politicians.
"Ho must be ready at all times to
do all ho can for his country. Ho xvlll
not stay away from Iho polls on voting
day, but will exercise his franchise
when the nation calls upon him.
"I do not think that wo will ho
obliged to vote so often. "Wo xvlll get
a good iimn In oillce and keep him
ihpro for some time. When tho new
citizen Is called to tho polls less fre
quently ho xvlll give mom careful, con

"Tho new citizen xx 111 bo willing to

'It Is now your turn to hold oillce,' be
