NO CHANGE IN SITUATION
Number of Conferences Held, but
No Change in the D., L. and
W. Strikes.
Yesterday whs May 10, the day llxcd
by the council of afllliated employes
Upon which answers were to be re
ceived from the employers presented
with the nine-hour day petition. No
replies were had, however, except the
answer of the Dickson people on
Thursday, which was so stated In yes
terday's Tribune.
At a recent meeling between the em
ployes of the Finch Manufacturing
company and Its employes, tho latter
were Informed that tho lirm would
follow the lead of the big manufactur
ers In the matter, and If tho latter
granted the nine-hour day they would
duplicate their action. Humors of a
like stand taken by McCluve, Brooks
& i""o. are reported by the council au
thorities, hut nothing lias been heard
from the Dunmore Iron and Steel com
pany. A meeting was held Thursday after
noon at the Hotel Jermyn of manufac
turers, owners or .superintendents of
the largest concerns In Ibis part of
Pennsylvania, at which the machinists'
demands were discussed and plans laid
for futuip sessions in consider u joint
cotirseof action to be pursued. Thurs
day's meeting was an assembly of
members of the Manufacturers of
Mining Machinery association. Tin;
only local representatives present were
Superintendent Jl. N. McLaren, of tho
Dickson Manufacturing company's
Penn avenue shops, and President I.
II. Finch, of the Flncji Manufacturing
company.
Others of those in attendance were:
President Jones and Secretary Nichol
son, of tho Vulcan Iron Works com
pany, which has plants at South
Wllkes-Hurre. West Plttston and
Tamauo.ua: Mr. Legramle, secretary
of the Kxeler Machine works, and the
two Messrs. Touhlll, owners of tho
Touhlll Iron works at West Piltston.
The session was devoted entirely to
a discussion of the uiue-bour demand,
but no definite course of action was
mapped out.
There was no change yesteiday in
the situation at tho Lackawanna
shop". The loeul ollii'lals of the coun
cil are In enmmdnicajion with the
shops along the line and have received
telegrams from the Jersey I'lty, lloho
ken and other locals In answer to the
messages sent from hern. Tho Jersey
City telegram made known tho fact
that a meeting was hold Thursday
night and tho Scranton strike brought
before tho union, while the llohokcn
dispatch says that the local troubles
will be discussed at a meeting; to he
held Monday night.
National President O'Connell has
telegraphed headquarters to act con
servatively and his counsel to sill the
branch union is of the same character.
Klectric City lodge of the Machinists'
union met lasl night In Hulbert's ball
and Instructed its delegates to the
council of afllliated employes to take
final action on tho nine hour day
iiuestlon at tomorrow's mee'Jng.
The .situation at the car shops also
remains the same. Yesterday after
noon a special committee waited upon
Master Car Builder L. T. Cnnlleld and
asked his answer on tho nine-hour
day matter. The grievances, Including
the dismissal of 1 ticks, were not
brought up for discussion, At the end
of the meeting the committee stated
Hint Mr. Cnnlleld refused to talkahout
the nine hour day.
Master Car Builder Canlield was In
conference last night with Oeneral Su
porintondont T. K. Clarke and other
Lackawanna ntllclals at tho Scranton
club, bill refused to make any statp
ment of what transpired, either at
this meeting or during the lime he was
clokptrd with the strikers.
CONTROLLER IS SILENT.
But It Is Thought He Will Ignore
Council's Resolution,
Controller Hoiyoll would not say yes
terday whether or not ho will heed
tho resolution passed by tho select
council on Thursday night and which
will pass tho common council on next
Thursday night, directing lilm not to
countersign any warrants for bills not
approved by the auditing committee,
Tho general Impression prevails,
however, that, acting upon tho rulo
laid down by Cty Solicitor Watson,
ho will Ignore tho resolution and will
justify his contention by the conten
tion that councils huva no right to
abridge Ids powurs In that manner.
If ho does Ignoro tho resolution, just
how council can compel lilui to obey
It Is a little bit of a mystery, with tho
city solicitor nnd tho whole adminis
tration with lilm.

THE TWENTIETH
ANNIVERSARY
RAILROAD Y. M. 0. A. IS TWEN
TY YEARS OLD.
A Celebration Was Held Lnst Night
in tho Association Rooms Secre
tary Adnlr Reported the Wonder
ful Progress Mndo During tho Past
Year nnd an Addics3 Was Mnde
by General Secretary Warburton,
of New York- Prizes Awarded
Winners in Membership Contest.
The local branch of the Unllroad
Young .Men's Christian association has
had a phenomenal growth and has
prospered wonderfully during the past
year under the ninnagpiiipiit of Us
spcrel'iry, W. W. Adair, This fact was
forcibly Impressed last night upon the
large .iiidleuce which gathered In the
association ball lo attend llie exercises
In connection with the celebration of
the twentieth anniversary of the or
ganization of the Scranton branch.
The hall had been prettily and taste
fully decorated for the occasion and a
selected orchestra, under the leader
ship of Professor H. J. Hatter, was
seated In front of the Ktngc, the front
of which was banked Willi palms. A
number of the leading otllclnls of the
Lackawanna road liad been Invited to
ntlend, bin the disagreeable weather
undoubtedly kept them nwny. Kx-n.-noral
Manager W. F. Ilallstead,
however, was present n'nl occupied n
prominent place on the platform.
SF.CUF.TAItY'rf UKPOHT.
After a stirring rendition of that
splendid old hymn, "Onward, Chris
tian Soldiers," by tin audience, and a
rervijnt prayer by Itev. James Ben
nluger. pastor of l lie Hampton Street
Methodist Episcopal church, Secretary
Adair was Introduced by Frank P.
Bryant, who was presiding, and In nn
Informal way presented his annual re
port. He told of I he grCat and unparal
lelled increase In membership and In
the amount of dues recrtved during
the year, but said that this did not
tell all that had been done. '"Phc
best result," said be, "Is in the men
themselves, who came in touch
with the work, bringing new life and
encouragement Into the organization."
He spoke In the kindliest terms of
the manner In which tho Lackawanna
company has encouraged and fostered
tho'work In every possible wny.
The statistical report, which was
printed on the programmes, showed
that the membership had been in
creased during the past year from M2
to Sl'7. The receipts for the year were
$..H,.C, as compared with ?:;,S07.S4 for
tho previous year. The total attend
ance at the building during the year
was .'i.'I.Sito. Tho total attendance at
entertainments during the year was
1.770, as compared with C,T2 during the
year before, showing the Increase In
interest In the social work. The num
ber of beds used during the fiscal vear
If-nil-inno was KS. as compared with
I, '"A during tho year just passed.
PKIZKS PnF.SF.NTFD.
When Mr. Adair had llnished, the
chairman presented the llrst and third
prizes won In tho membership contest
to the .successful contestants. Tho llrst
prize, a gold watch, was won by A. O.
Leonard, and the third prize, a dress
suit case, was won by S. S. Lonne. The
winner of the second prize, a $10 gold
piece, was J. fiilligan. who was unable
to be present.
The address of the evening was made
by fieorgo A. Warburton, general sec
retary of the New York city railroad
ahsociatinii and an association worker
of much renown..
Three elements combined, In- said, to
make the liailroad Young Men's Chris
tian association tho successful and
helpful organization that It is today.
The llrst nf these, he said, was the
fact thai it originated among the men
themselves. It was not something
which llie companies got the men to
adopt, hut rather something which the
men started and In which tho men
themselves insisted tho companies
should co-operate.
The second element of strength, ho
thought, was tho fact that the com
panies contribute to the welfare of tho
organization, and at the same time to
the welfare of their employes.
The third element of strength, he
said, was the strength contributed by
tho parent organization, the Young
Men's Christian association. The Young
Men's Christian association, lie said,
contributed strong and manly men to
carry on the railroad work and not
only men, but methods.
He said that ho believed It would not
be very long before there would bo a
new Hallroad Young Men's Christian
association building In Scranton. Tho
railroad company, ho said, could not
go back on the work already done and
if It wanted that work continued a
new building was absolutely necessary.
The exercises were brought lo a closn
with Hie singing of "My Country, 'lis
of Thee."

TEST OF WATER ORDINANCE.
City Solicitor Favors Plncing the
Company on the Offensive.
There nre several plans under con
sideration for the bringing of a test
ease to establish the legality of tho
ordinance fixing water rates for this
city, but the-plau that City Solicitor
Watson Is known to favor Is the
placing of the company in the position
of relator, rather than in that of re
spondent. This could be done by getting one or
more consumers of wnter to refuse to
pay the present rate when requested to
do so by tho company, nnd to insist
upon paying no more than tho price
llxcd in the ordinance. This would
force the company Into bringing suit
to recover the full amount of the pres
ent rato and would make the con
sumer, backed, of course, by the city,
the defendant In the case.
There seems to bo no doubt In tho
mind of any person who has considered
'the matter but that the legality of the
ordinance will be attacked by the com
pany and as it Is generally presumed
that they will take the case up to tho
Culled States Supreme court, In caso
they lose In the slate courts, it Is
deemed advisable to liavo the matter
brought up as ipiickly as possible, as
such h course of procedure would take,
at the must conservative estimate, at
least two years.
THEY WERE RE-ARRESTED.
Kdward radden and Thomas Harry,
who wero arrested about a month ago,
on tho charge of attempting to crimi
nally assault thirteen-year-old Kdna.
Hunt, In a Lackawanna box car, and
who were held In ball on that charge,
wero rearrested yesterday at the In
stance of District Attorney W. It.
Lewis, on tho speciilu charge of crimi
nal assault.
They were arraigned beforo Magis
tral Howe in pplco court yesterday
iimrnlns and wcro committed to tho
county jail without bail, to await the
action of the grand Jury. Tho district
attorney was moved to cause the re
arrest of tho men after having care
fully boiio over thn testimony adduced
"at the tlrst hearing.

Yeitdrday afternoon the grand Jury

Among the witnesses examined were

they had been subpoenaed by the oth
er side.
It Is also possible that, other testi
mony bearing on the transaction was
adduced from P. W. OaKiiBhor. who
was prominent In the negotiations be
tween the company and tho councll
nicn, and who, since that time has
been dismissed from the company's

day were those In which the Munici
pal league charges bribery against ,T.
.1. McAndrew and P. V. McCann: per
jury against Anthony Dunleavy, and
obstructing justice against S. K Way
land. In the last named ease the ruin
to quash the original Indictment was
made absolute by agreement, nnd thn
district attorney was later directed by
court, at the Instance of the Municipal
league, to prepare and submit a new
bill of indictment upon the old tran
script, without further preliminary
hearing. This is for tho purpose ot
curing tho. defects In the original in
dictment. A return will be made by
tho grand jury today, it Is expected.

You certainly are if you don't keep

Stir up your neighbor and tell him what he
is missing by not reading the papers. Hope
nobody will wake up after it is all over and
say we didn't give him a fair warning.
Shoes at these prices can't be had every
day, and we can fit any foot that grows.
Look at these prices and see if there is not a
temptation in it for you. There's money in
