At the Lyceum theater, last night,
In the piesence of a large gathering,
to which the public In general was In
vlted to bo a part, tho machinists,
boiler makers, car builders, black
smiths and pattern makers of the va
l Ions machine shops of Scianton, and
those of tho Delaware, Lackawanna,
and Western company In other cities,
presented in formal manner and with
some interesting attendant cere
monies, a petition for a nine hour dav
at tho same wages they now obtain
for a ten hour day.
Ofllclals of all 'the companies to
which the petition was addressed were
invited to be present to lecelve tho
petition, hut only n few of Ihcin weie
to bo found In the boxes nnd logos spe
cially"! eservod for them. It was ex
plained by the piomoleis of the meet
ing that the failure of the ofllclals to
accept the Invitation was due, as tliev
learned only yesteiday, to a misun
derstanding on the pait of the officials
that there was a piobablllty of their
being expected to publicly discuss thepsevon out-of-town Delaware, Lacka
matter contained in tw petition, a
thing, which for obvious reasons, was
hardly to be desired.
The petition nevertheless was pub
licly presented and notice was given
that, in the Judgment of the petltion
oi , ten das was sufficient time to
allow tho companies to make answer.
What would bo done in cao tho em
ployei.s' nnswers weio unfavorable
was not intimated, except in an ev
tremolv indlicct way a presentation
in bilof of tho pioceedlngs of the
twentieth annual convention of the
American Fedeiation of Labor In
which that Influential body pledged it
self to devote its energies this year
in securing a shot toi workday tot the
machinists.
XOT A THREAT.
However, everything that was said
and done, last evening, was shaped
with a view of giving the employeis
to undei stand that tho employes ex
pected their petition would be re
ceived in a fiiendly spirit as coming
fiom' a friendly somce, and that it
was Just what it was labelled and
not a demand accompanied by threats.
The philosophy of tho thing was ex
plained at length by Humphiey D.
Campboll, chairman of the committee
and originator of tho novel piesenta
tion scheme. A piogiamnie of music
and a builesque puipoitlng to be a
"Itepi eduction of the Memoiable Meet
ing of Knockeis, Kickeis and Leather
Jaws," in -which was extiavaganlly
caticatuied the oiigiii. giowth and
presentation of a gtlevance by the old
plan, was given by members of the
unions JuSt pieccding the foimal pres
entation of the petition. This, Mr.
Campbell explained, ivas to help illus
tiate why their new plan of present
ing a petition was hit upon, and to in
dicate to the employeis, who, It was
expected, -would be on hand to see it,
that tho emplo,es loallze that if tliev
appeal betoie the public in the light of
something other than a ciowd of con
stant klckeis, witli an unending list of
giievances, it must, assutedlv, Innuie
to their goott. The oichestia and all
the paiticipants in the progiamme, he
pointed out, weio men fiom the shops,
and in exploiting their talent, it was
the committee's deslie to impiess tho
company ofllclals with the fact that
they aie being petitioned bv men of no
mean intelligence.
He ltgretted, he said, that the pur
pose of the Imitations to the ofllclals
hud been misundei stood. Thoie wus
never any intention of diawing them
into .i public discussion of giievances,
and the gieatest caie had been taken
in piepaiing the pi ogi amine of oxer
c Ises that nothing should be said or
done that would Jar on the sensibilities
ot the employeis who woie to be ion
sidered as guests.
IIISTOUY OF MOVKMHXT.
The stoiy of how the nlne-houi
movement had Its oiigiii In this city,
how it glow apace and how- It touched
Its climax at last night's event, was
told intei estlugly by Ml. Campbell.
May 18, 1000, the National Metal
Tiades association temploj ers) onteied
Into an ngieement with the Interna
tional Association of Machinists ("em
ployes) that the firms lepiesented In
the employeis' association would, six
months fiom that date, or on Novem
ber 18, 1900, l educe tho wmkday of
their employes one-half hour, and six
months Inter, or on May 10, 1901, a re
duction of another half-hour would bo
granted, tints giving to-ten-hour men
a nine-hour day, with the wages to re
main ns befoie.
The Dickson Manufaotuilng company
was lopoited to bo a member of the
Metal Tiades association. A commit
tee of Its employes waited on the oin
elals, December 15, 1900, to ascertain It
the company Intended to comply with
tho agieemeut. The' answer was that
the Dickson company had not Joined
tho association until after the date of
the agieement and had wlthdtawn from
It befoie tho date on which the (list
i eduction was to occur.
To ask one company to giant tho re
duction without making similar request
on tho otheis was deemed inexpedient,
so a geueial movement was Inaugur
ated, to Include all the machinists and
their nflHIated ciaftsmen of all the
shops In Sciantou, and the machinists
of all tho shops of the Delawaie, Lack
awanna and Western sjstem. A coun
cil was formed nnd styled the Council
of Aflllinted Machine, Boiler, Car,
Blacksmith and, Pattern Shop Hin
poes of tho Central Labor union of
Scranton, Fa. it consists of the follow
ing oigauizatlons and delegates:

tiiij sy.sTmr includiid.
A cimsliloiabln number ot tho lnem
l.ei s of Kloctrlc Cltv lodge, No. 210,
of the International Arsoulallon ot
Machinists, being employes of the
Delawaie, Lackawanna and Western
lallioad at Kcranton, II was lecognlaed
that they could haully expect tho
company to do something for them
unless It was also done for the ma
chinists at other points on the line;
iicoctdlugly tho matter was put before
tho lodges of the International Asso
ciation of Machinists over tho entlro
system. The icsult was that a coun
cil of delegates fiom lodges of? the
Intel national Association of Machin
ists on the Delawaie, Lackawanna nnd
Western inlhoad system was formed.
This was done at a convention of dele
gates held .Match 12,1901, In Scianton,
at which hue Humphiey B. Campbell,
until Match 1 In the employ of tr
Delawaie, Lackawanna and Western
machine shop In Scranton, was chosen
ns chaliman of this council,
Tho lodges of the International As
sociation of Machinists who had
delegates appointed to bo In Scianton
at this time, or who have signified
their appioval, aie: Buffalo lodge.
No. 21"i. Buffalo, N. Y one delegate;
TUIca lodge. No. 4.'". Utlea.-N. Y.. nno

City lodge, No. 210, Scranton, l'a., one
delegate; Dlstilct lodge, No. 15, which
Includes tho local lodges of New York,
Hobokon and vicinity; Silk City lodge.
No. isg, Pnterson, N. J no delegates,
but signed and scaled agreement ot
approval and support; Syracuse lodge.
No. 381, no delegate, but signed and
sealed agreement of appioval and
support; LBInghamton lodge, No. 371.
no delegate, but signed and scaled
agieement of appioval and support.
Thete aie six Scianton shops and
wanna and Western shops connected
with lite council. In some of these
shops there nie as many as five
unions. If each union In each shop
acted sepai ately the patience of the
ofllclals would bo, no doubt, sorely
tiled, and much of their valuable time
needlessly wasted. As a matter of ex
pediency this new plan was devised.
BUSINESS IS BRISK.
Business Is brisk all over the coun
tiy, Mr. Campbell went on to say.
All the shops nre woiking full. The
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
company has Its Pan-Amei lean busi
ness at hand which shouldn't bo Inter
fered with. The companies say It
would be all right in dull times to cut
off an hour to make it possible to give
more men employment, but in times
like the present, the companies should
be allowed to woik their shops to their
full capacity.
To that the men make leply, tho
sneaker continued, that the exnansion
of Ameilean tiade and the assuie
continuation of piospeious times
makes it vety indefinite as to when
theie will be dull times again, if ever,
and tho movement to shorten tho
hours can not be so indefinitely do
foiled. The men hive otficr giievances such
as appienticeshlp systems, overtime,
Sunday woik and tho like, but they
are not to be put foiward at this time.
With a ptopei feeling of haimony
existing between tho men and the
companies these mattets can bo lend
ily adjusted satisfactory to botli
sides
Mr. Campbell made the statement
that lie never saw a shop that was
getting within twenty-five per cent, of
its capacity out of its men and ma
chineiy. It was because of the lack of
the fiiendly feeling that should exist
between emplover and employ "With
such a feeling existing, he said, he was
satislled that in some shons tho same
output could be reached in five bonis
that is now attained in ten. The eni
plojeis aie dally walking over a veilt
able gold mine when thev do not ask
us to confer with them. If they would
only bring out the latent ingenuity of
tho men in the matter of Impioviug
their machines by inci easing their
speed and tho like, they would be sar
in ised to tinil how the output i mild he
InoieaseU.
Mr. Campbell told of how tho Ameil
ean Fedeiation of Labor was bent on
seeming a shot tor day foi tho machin
ists, and then lead some statistics to
piove that the wages they aie asking
bote aie not as high as aie paid In
many less tavoied communities.

the nine-hour dav petition in the name

FOR SETTLEMENT.
One Hundred and Fifty Membeis of
Xlotz Local Last Night Decided to
Return to Work Today on the
Teima Offeied by Supeilntendent
Fileder Stilke Cost Over ? 180,000
In Wages Mulhei In & Judge's
Taylor Mill Only One Where the
Strike Is Still in Progiess.
The one hundred and fifty gltls who
foim the Klols! local met last night and
decided to return to work this morn
ing. Superintendent Frleuor, of the
Klotss Tlnowlng company, met tho gills
yesteiday afternoon and submitted
them a pioposltlon, Yhlch they found
highly acceptable.
Tluoughout the stilke tho actions
taken by the gills at this mill havo
been ot a far more Individual nature
than those of the other locals, and when
Supeilntendent Davis' offer was made
known the girls flatly lefused to go
back on any such terms. They declared
that they were submitted a pioposal
offoilng pinctlcally the same Induce
ments a few days after thev went out
on stilke and befoie they icturncd they
must receive better terms. The strike
oilginatcd tit tills mill and was not so
much a matter of wages, tho girls be
ing then paid moic than at any of the
other local mills, but dissatisfaction
with one of the foreladios.
PROPOSAL MADE
Yesteiday afternoon the local's gilev
ance committee met at the mill and re
ceived the proposition which they last
night stated to the gills. It is, in sub
stance, as follows:
Ml siirla woikinp over ilehlecn months at the
mill shall reci-lve M 7"i a week, Irwtead of 1 30
All vvoilciiiir ono .venr shall be pild $3 00 in
atead of &2 7.1
Ml working K montl i tlnlt be paid $2 iO
iliMead nf V 25
I he slartinjr wure Miall be S2 00 a week.
Hie older and experienced Bills who hive been
receiving VIW i week will b pranted the S-12
rer cent, inciease offered 1 nil the upcrln
Irndenti A half bolldiy slmll be granted on sMlurdij!,
dining the foui suinmei months
An Important concession, however, Is
the piomlse that the gltls will bo paid
additional for whatever piece woik
they do above their wages. Superin
tendent Frelder declined to dismiss the
forewoman until definite charges were
pioved, but told the committee he
would investigate the matter.
Last night's meeting was held in St.
John's hall and was presided over by
the piesldent. Miss Margaret Wynne.
Supeilntendent Freidet's offer was an
nounced and balloted upon, theie not
being a dissenting vote The commit
tee was Instiucted to wait upon Su
peiintendent Fielder again to infotm
him of the action of the meeting and
if possible secuie a written agieement
stating tho teims of settlement.
A YI3AR'S CONTRACT.
Mr. Ti eider was seen at 9 30 o'eloik
at the mill and 'the committee, on Its
i etui n stated that the superintendent
had announced his willingness to sign
a jeai's contiact and that tho mill
would be opened this morning. After
healing this lepoit the meeting ad
journed. Tho 'ouns offeied yesteiday by Su
1 orinlendent Fieuler aie the same as
tl oso with which he settled the stilke
a; tho KlotK Caibondalo mill.
The action of the Klotz gltls leaves
the Mulheiin & Judge mill at Tajlor
tho only one nt which the strike Is
still on. "Mother Mary Jones yos.
tciday expiessod hot. self as confident
that a settlement would be soon ef
fected. Yesteiday witnessed a geueial le
newal of woik at all tho local silk mills,
each of them beginning opeiation with
about two-thiids of the full woiking
foice. All the mills, except the Klotz
mill and the Mulheiin & Judf,e factory
at Talor wete in mil blast. At tho
Sauquoit mill a hundred gills lepoited
toi duty, and eveiy day more will bo
taken on until the full complement is
again seemed.
At the Hnivcy mill only about on
half of the legular foice coald be ac
commodated yesteiday, when one bun
dled and fifty gills weio given work.
II is expected, bowevei, that within a
lew weeks the entixe foice of tlnee
bundled gills will be back. At Harvey
Bios.' Foiest City mill, woik has been
going on steadily lor the past month, a
settlement being euilv effected. Only
fifty hands nio employed at this mill.
About one bundled and fifty gills have
been woiking at Valentine Hltss' Dun
nioi e mill since Monday, w hlch Is about
tin ee-uuai teis of the. legulai foice, and
a like number is updating the Dickson
I hint.
LOSS IN WAG13S.
About two hundred of the tlnee bun
died woikeis employe I at tho Simpson
conipan.v's Minooka mill have been
busied since last week, and the same
number of hands yesteiday resumed
woik at Itelllng, David & Schoen's
Peteisbiiigmlll. The, Lackawanna mill,
ot Taylor, has been i tinning tho last
six weeks with Its entlie quota of fifty
gills, and Bemud & Son's mill, at Tay
lor, lias been In opeiation tor about the
same time, with a totce of one hun
ched bunds,
It Is estimated that the entile loss In
wages occasioned by the stilke will
amuunt to between $180,000 and $200,000.
