THE RECORDER'S VETO.
Resolution to Be. Offered llirocting
City Clerk Not. to Prcf.cnt Ordi-
Riiccs for His Approval.
II if. ileluiilely known that a rcvilu
lion will himii ho introduced in coun
cils, perhaps tonight, directing' the cli.v
i lerk not to present to llceorder -Molr
for his approval any of the ordinances
or resolutions passed by councils.
This will be done for tho purpose of
dlscovei iiifr just, what, power the re
corder lias In this dliection and to Met
tle the mill h mooted question as to
whether he has the power of vetoing
anything but sepaiate items in the ap
propriation ordinance.
The few unimportant resolutions
which have so far been passed by coun
cils have been presented by tho city
clerk by his approval and have been
In each Instance signed. The city
clerk ha.-; dune this in the absence of
any counoilmafiio. resolution directing
lilin to do otherwise, lie has simply
Iie-n following the established prece
dent of submit ting all measures passed
by loiiiiclls hi the city's chief execu
tive for approval or disapproval.
tt has been discovered that there is
a very strong possibility that that, por
tion of the third class city act of 1Si,
giving Hie mayor the power to veto
is preserved by the ripper hill. The
ripper provides that all third class city
laws shall continue to apply to a city
entering Hie second class, "except, so
far as such laws are -supplied by, or
lontlii'l with, laws relating to cities of
the second class."
It is pointed out that, as there is no
provision in the ripper bill for a veto
mid Hint, therefore, no provision of it
either supplies m is in conflict, with
the .section of (lie ad of S;i confer
ring upon the mayor the veto power.
Lawyers my that while I lien: would
he a V"iy gnnd chance for a technical
light on I lie grouiyl that the nd of
lSS'.i says "mayor." an ofllcial which
does not now exist in cities of I lie
second class, that nevertheless there
is also a chance that if the matter was
ever brought up in court that it. might
li" decided that the only difference be
tween Hie otlice n- mayor and recorder
is a difference in name.
t'lly Sollcilor Watson is known to
hold Hi'il the recorder has full veto
power.

SPREAD OP
THE STRIKE
MEN AT UTICA AND BUFFALO
SHOPS QUIT WORK.
Striking Employes of the Lncka
wanna Local Machine Shops Were
Yesterday Notified by Who That
the Men at Buffalo and Utica Also
Struck Delegate ftom Buffalo
Joins the Car Shop Strlkcts and
with Dover Representative Will
Make Scranlon His Headquarters.
The sulking employes of the Dela
wine, I.MckawiiniiH iind Western Hull
road company's machine shops met
yesteidny afternoon at llulln'it's hull
uml received word that the men ill
llllffalti nnd t'tloii were nlso out. Tele
grains were received ft run the locals ill
these places, hi which It was stnted
thai the Illicit employes slopped work
nt S o'clock, while the Murrain hands
sit nek somewhat. IntPi.
Hefore ilic union tit Huu'itlo wdil on
strike n- telegram was senl lo Hi'
local olllt.'luls, In which the reason was
iisked why the men had not walled
until May 2". Superintendent Lloyd's
answer to the men who walled upon
lilin Tuesday morning' whs pent back
In reply, and shortly afterwards canin
Hie message declaring Hie stilke to he
on.
There seems little doubt that within
a few davs the si like will be unl
veisnl at all the company's shops all
along the system. Telegrams have
been senl out from local strike head
quarters to the unions at Hlnghninton,
Syrneus-e. llobolten. Kingston and
Newark, in which Mr. Lloyd's action
was set forth.
At Buffalo about four hundred men
are said to be out. while at. CHca
there are between thirty nnd forty.
Following: those nnnouricemeuts at
yesterday's mooting, an amount of
loiithic business was transacted, after
which the executive committee went
into session.
MACHINISTS TO MK-F.T.
Tomorrow- night the machinists'
union will meet, nt llulbert's bull. An
swers to Hie tiluo-hour day petition are
expected from a number of the super
intendents, ami while no final action
can be taken on them, until Ihey have
been 'brought before tho councils, there
is n possibility that they will , be dis
cussed tonight.
These answers will llrst be acted
upon by the council and then referroil
to the various locals, and there is
some llklil'.ood of the machinists dele
gating tlic power of final action on
these 'answers to their representatives
in tho loiineil. a! tonight's meeting,
anil thus giving Hi- council full sway
in the matter.
Tonight the bollei makers will meet.
As yet tho strike has not spread to
any of the oilier local machine shops
ami the represent;! lives of the coun
cil declare that there is no feeling of
unrest, among I tin workers and there
are no indications of any action being
taken by the men until they have
heard from the superintendents on the
appointed days.
The Delaware, Lackawanna, and
AVi'storu authorities still maintain
llieir passive attitude. A Tribune
num. on his way to the office of Su
perintendent of Motive Power and
Machinery Lloyd, was hailed hy n
company special while passing through
the yard and informed that none could
traverse the premises, without a pas?.
The shops presented an exceedingly
quirt appearance yesterday, only three
or four men being' at win k. A num
ber ot apprentice boys weie also on
hand.
The Lackawanna engineers refused
to make any repairs upon their engines
which it is the machinists' work to do.
Tuesday nlghl. Master Mechanic Kl
vin and Ocueral Foreman Shoemaker
were obliged to repair one of the fast
passenger engines.
AT Till-: ('All SHOPS.
Around the car shops there was a
si cue of corresponding quietness. Not
mom than half a dozen men reported
for work, and these and a largo num.
b-r of special oflieers were the only
persons to be seen about the yard.
I'hief Special Agent Adainson, of the
Lackawanna, personally supervised
the placing' of a i orps uf detectives and
olllccrs.
Master Car Dullder L. T. t'anlield
left the city for New York last even
ing, and on his return there ate ex
pected to be some developments of Im
portance In the situation. He was
seen yester.ay afternoon by a Tribune
until, lint declined to make any slate
inc'iit. 'We're not saying- anything
these days," he said quietly, "but there
will be something to tall; about later."
A dclegaie arrived in the city yes
terday from Huffnlo, and was in con
ference with the local strikers' exeeu
tivo coinuilttec during the day. The
Huffalo man and representative of tho
Dover shops will make Seratiton their
headquarters until the end of the dlffi-
i cullies. Men from the Kingston shops
have also been in the city alter In
sliucllruis from the local officials, but
r.s yet uu effort will be made to call
the men out there. Various of the
Scranlon executive committeemen
have declnied that for the present no
interference will be made with work
nt the Kingston shops, us tho men are
being employed In making- repalis at
Hie collieries, and a strike would mean
spvoe losses to the miners.
MAY STRUCK TODAY.'
The men are In communication with
tho locals of the shops nil along ihe
Hue, and a representative from Ho.
boken Is today expected In the city.
This shop Is the one at which a strike
will very probably lie called today, The.
report In one of yesterday's papers
that the men have now uimle the nine
hour day the main Issue, ns the sis
days' suspension term of CSeurR
Hicks Is at an end, was denied yester
day by the men,
They say that HIelis has not yet
been reinstated and Hint is the srloy
tilKO netiiaUner the strike. They fur-thai-more
claim that the idna-liour day
question has as yet entered In no way
Into the matter and will not until
after Master Uullder Cauileld's an
swer is received.
The delegate from Huffalo claims
that the reports were erioneous which
stated but llfty 'men lo have quit work,
lie deflates thut the employes, to a
iuun, sit tick, Muster Builder CanHeld,
however, tells another btory am! .says
that seventy-lwo of the out- hundred

SILLIMAN ARRESTED.
General Manager of Scrnnton Rail
way Company Charged with
Bribing Old Forge Councilman.
lictteral Malinger Flank Sllllinan, jr..
of the Scrriiiton Hallway company, was
yeslerdayiirrested nit the chatge ofhti
hlng certain Old Forgo eoitnellnien In
Hie summer of is;i!, for the purpose of
seeming :i frniichl.-e to operate a line
of street railway on Hie streets of Old
Forge borough.
The wirrniil for his arrest whs Is
sued by Just lee of the Peace Picker
ing, at Hi" instaive of William Tlepp,
a prominent citizen of the borough.
Mr. Sllllinan was arrested at his olPee
in this city and in company with his
attorney, Major Kvereti Warren, went
before Magistrate Millar, waived a
healing', and entered bail in tho sum
of $."(iii for his appearance In court.
Major Warren became his bondsman.
The word "bribery" on the warrant
wa.t spelled "Inigcry," a. crinio which
both the magistrate and Major 'War
ren vowed they hat! never heard of
before. The constable explained "that
any man with his hand.-; full of work
was likely to make a mistake like
that."
"Well, you give .lust Ice Pickering
ni compliments." said Magistrate Mil
lar, "and tell him that the next time
he makes out a warrant he'd bcttec
consult a dictionary."
The coUiieihnen whom it Is alleged
were bribed by Mr. Sllllinan are
Thomas Stephens. Thomas Kllcoyne
and Antonio Hiancaidi. There are
seven members in Hie council, and the
lianchlsp ordinance was passed by a
vole of five lo two. An equity case Is
now pending in court, in which C. J.
Keogh. a citizen of the borough, seeks
to have set aside the action of the
council in awarding the franchise. The
case was to have been tried tills week,
but was continued by request of the
dc fense.

OPINIONS OF CITY SOLICITOR
IN MATTER.
Holds That Any Property Actunlly
Necessary for Carrying on the
Business for Whiqh a Company
Was Chartered Is Not Subject to
Local Taxation, Because It Is Cov
ered by the Capital Stock on Which
the Stoto Collects a Tax Text of
the Opinions.
ily Solicitor tieoige Watson has
furnished opinions to the board of
tiiy assassins with reference to the
appeals of the Delaware, Liirknwitntia
and Western company. Lackawanna.
Iron and Sleel company, the Seratiton
ttullway company nnd the American
Telephone company and Central Penn
sylvania Telephone mid Supply com
pany from the assessments made
against their properties for city pur
poses. All these companies allege that
Ihe pioperty assessed Is necessary to
the transaction of the bulness of the
company, the cost, of II Included In
the capital slock, on which a tax Is
paid to the state, and that therefore
they tne not liable for local taxes.
City Solicitor Watson In ills opinion
reiterates a well-settled principle or
law that a company cannot he taxed
locally for Hie property which Is nec
essary for carrying on the business for
which It was chartered, and places on
Ihe assessors the duty of ascertaining
just what property Is required hy the
company.
The Dehiwine, Lackawanna anil
Western company's assessment In the
Klglith, Fourteenth and Seventeenth
wards amounts to $ir,::,000 and this they
Hsk to have reduced lo J'Jil.100, alleg
ing that about all of the property as
sessed here Is used for railroad pur
poses and for making necessary re
pairs on rolling stock of the railroad.
The assessors have the appeal under
advisement. The opinion furnished by
Mr. Watson with leferenee to tills
company follows;
