HAS NOT HAD
ANY REPLIES
WHAT PRESIDENT MITCHELL
HAS TO SAY.
Believes He Will Have Answcis to
Some of the Letters Sent to Opera
tors Today or Tomorrow What
District Picsident Nicholls Has to
Say Concerning tho Published Ut
terances of Business Men with Ref
erence to the Possibility of n
Strike Disagrees with Them.
Auothct twenty-four houn pa-sod
yesterday without nny developments
of Importance in tho mining situation,
nnd It is not likely that thero will bo
ntiy news to chronicle until woid has
been iccelved by President Mitchell
from Komu of the presidents of the
coal companies. The communications
sent out Tuesday weic of u nature
which demanded a prompt teply, hii.1
the MIna Workers' olllel.ils expect that
today or tomorrow will bring nnswerss
from the teclplents of their letteis.
President Mitchell was seen yester
day afternoon at the St. Chillies hotl
by n Tribune man.
"Nothing has been yet heuid fiom
tho operators," he said, "and although
I held a bilef session today with Piesl
dtnta XIclioII.i nnd Duffy, no business
wiih transacted."
On being asked whether the reports
wcic trus that the meeting of the
grievance committee of the Lacka
wanna tmlnmen In this city Wednes
day bore significant relations to the
conditions of the mliv situation,
President Mitchell said thero was no
connection between the two, to the
best of his knowledge.
Considerable comment i niouseu
yesterday In the camp of the Mine
Workers' leaders by the popular ex
pressions of antl-strlke sentiment, as
evidenced In tho several Interview's
from prominent cential city business)
men, which appeared In yesterday's
Tribune. President T. 1). Nicholls. of
District No. J, In discussing the matter,
lemuikcd'
WHAT NICHOLLS SAID.
"In my opinion the business men
quoted tnko a rather selfish view of
the existing conditions, and lu eager
ness to look ufter the welfuie of their
own Interests, rerlook thoe of other.
The genctal public has forgotten tho
gile-vances which the miners wish ad
justed, nnd for the settlement of which
we have asked the operatois for a
Joint conference-."
"Do you not think It would be a
good Idea to give out some general
statement of these grievances." asked
the repot tor, and Piesldenl Nicholls
unsweied:
"The Idea seems to prevail that a
technical recognition of the union H
the only Issue. That Is a false concep
tion. The recognition we desire Is
merely an adlustnient of dlflleultles.
When the strike of last fall was set
tled, a ten per cent. Increase in wages
was granted, but this was pi.totlcilly
the only concession. A uniform wngo
.scole Is one of our chlefest nlms In
asking a conference. The asseitlon
made tha; different conditions exist
ing In dliVeient companies absolutely
prevent a uniform scale U eironeoim.
We want lo provide for n fixed wage
by which men all ovei thl-t legion do
ing the same day's work will receive
the same day's pay, and the lurge nnd
exceedingly dissatisfying discrepancies
now existing be thus done away with.
"We wish to meet In Joint confer
ence with the operators and befoie v.e
adjourn secure a uniform scale, nnd
have made a bona fide agreement cov
ering all scales of wages nnd prices of
coal, nnd governing all th" conditions
of the year.
AI'OMnNTKD TltOL'HLi:.
"The settlement of the big strike last
year by granting a ten per cent, in
crease did not do anything towards
amending this grievance, but rnth'-r
augmented It, by Increasing the dif
ference In wages paid In different sec
tions of the anthracite regions."
President Nicholls was asked
whether any significant moaning
could bo attached to tho visit of the
inlhoaders' grievance committee in
the city Wednesday, but dee!iud to
either affirm or deny the tumor that
they conferred with various of tho
Mine Woikors' officials.
Father Phillips again spoke with Sec
tetary Atherton, of the local board of
trade, over the long distance telephone
yesterday. Ho informed film that he had
had communication with the New York
offlco of Mr. Morgan and theie learned
that the coal and steJl magnato had
gone south ar.d would not return be
foift next week. Father Phillips also
announced that he would wrlto Mr.
Atherton and arrange a day for the
meeting of the committee from the
anthracite legions who nie to meet
with Bishop Potter and Archbishop
Coprlgnn, In New York, beforo calling
upon Mr. Morgan.
The presidents of both the Wilkes
Pane and Hazleton boards of tiade
have expressed their willingness to
form part of the committee. Father
Phillips says.

PIECE OF HARD LUCK.
When Ripper Attorneys Reached
Philadelphia tho Supreme Court
Had Adjourned.
Amabel slight delay has been occa
sioned In the matter of the appeal
icgmdliur the constitutionality of the
famous llpper bill. AYhen tho attor
neys engaged on both aides reached
Philadelphia yesterday they wcro chn
gilned to find that the Supreme court
hud already adjourned for the week.
However, they sought out the chief
Justice and either justices of the Su
preme couit and discussed the matter
with them. They directed that the ap
plication be tiled and It Is expected
that the hem lug will be fixed for
either Monday or Tuesday of next
w cek.
Attornev .lames H. Toney and ex
.Tudge H. A. Knapp returned last
evening on the S.tr, over the Locka
wanna and were rven by a Tribune
man. Roth arc of the opinion that
this delay of n couple of days will not
seriously hamper operations, but that
the Iteming will be pushed and de
cision lendeicd without nny moie Io
of time than if every thing hud re
sulted satlsfaetoiflly yesterday.
The decision must be handed down
by April 7, u on that day the thirty
day limit given the governor to ap
point recorders for Allegheny and
Pltlsbuig will expire.

Feeble Minded Old Lndy from Mor-

The chief of police of Morrlstown,
N. .T yesterday notified Chief Holding
over the long distance telephone that
a Slra. Crnudall, SO years of age, of
that city, was en route to St. Louis on
the Lackawanna train which reaches
this city al 12.o5 p. in., and nuked that

Detective Moir met the train and
took Mis. Crandatl to police head
quarters, whete quarters weie fitted
up tor her In the woman's wnnl. ller

THE RECORDER APPROVES
Believes Creation of the Office of De
linquent Tax Collector to Be Nec
essary and Gives Reasons.
The creation of the office of delin
quent tox collector, as recommended at
Wednesday night's meeting of the com
mon council by the special committee
which had tho reorganization ordinance
under consideration, meets with the
approval of Recorder Moir, because ho
believes the olllces of city treasurer
nnd delinquent tax collector cannot bo
combined.
"I can see no alternative to the cre
ntlon of this ofllce," snld he yesterday
to n Tribune man. "It seems to me to
be imperative. 1 have It on tho au
thority uf no lest a person than At
torney (roneral Klklns that tho offloes
of city trensurer and delinquent tax
collector ennnot be combined, even
though the ripper bill docs say that
they can. Tho city treasurer Is nn
elective official, while the tax collector
Is appointed by tho recorder. I am as
sured that an elective ofllce and an np
polntlvc ofllce cannot be combined.
"Jt has always cost us In the past at
least $3,000 every year to collect the de
linquent tax," the recorder continued,
"and wo ennnot expect to get It col
lected for very much less. If the com
mission provided In the reorganization
ordinance Is allowed to remain, the
work would simply be neglected and
the city would be out n very large sum
every year as a consequence."
QUO WARRANTO GRANTED.
Application of Hyde Park Gns Com
