ANOTHER HOT WAVE.
Fromisos to Be a Repetition of tho
Torrid Spell Experienced
Two Weeks Ago.
Weather Obseiver Clarke says he
doesn't want to be held responsible for
the weather on Its way here and
duo In course of three or four days.
About the most encomaglng things he
could be Induced to say was that he
hoped It would not be a repetition of
the not altogether non-unfiigld spell
experienced tho eaily part of the
month.
The bother Is all coming from tip
near Vancouver, H. C, and not Wash
ington, D. C, according to Mr. Clarke.
Ho showed the repot ter n map with a
lot of markings on It and said "You
can seo for yourself how it happens."
The reporter gazed Intently at the
markings, put on a wise look and
said:
"That's the way, eh?"
"Yes,"' said the weatherman, "In
this region of high depression there Is
more or less Isothermal humidity en
gendered by tho nrea of relative pre
cipitation, and isobarlc elevation. This
causes certain things which causes cer
tain other things, and between them
they eau tho weather.
Besides this, Mr. Clarke stated that
the coming three or four days will be
hot but not sizzling hot. A nice hot
wave from up Vancouver way was
heading hencewnrd, but it took to the
north of the lakes and escaped us,
A wad of hot that has been hovering
over the country between the Rockies
and the Mississippi l ready to move
out and take to the east, and when
It does this really truly hotnebs now
generating In tho Northwest coiner
of the United States will take its place
and after a short fcojotirn in the west
will Hweep this way. This last sweep Is
to do the damage.
Mr. Claike hopes that it will not
be as hot a wave as that which vent
this way a couple of weeks ago, but
as stated before, he simply hopes.
Monday had some SS weather and
that was thought to be plenty warm
enough for all ordinary purpose. Vph
terday at 3 o'clock, the temperature
was 01. Today It in expected the
weather will be a little wanner, but
not much.
IS SHORT OF CASH.
Not Enough Money to Meet Bills in
Associated Charities' Treasury.
The report of Treasurer T. J. Kelly,
of the Board of Associated Charities,
read at last night's meeting, showed a
balance on hand of only $33.80, with
bills amounting to considerably over
that amount and nearly two months'
salaries remaining unpaid.
Tho members looked at one another
rather hopelessly as this report was
read, but President Hippie appeared
hopeful of securing a few subscriptions
In a little while.
The report of Mrs. W. B. Duggan,
tho board's agent, showed the follow
ing results of her work during a
month: Applications for relief, PO;
found worthy, 28: found not worthy,
20; employment found for 9; lodging
found for f: transportation furnished,

A considerable amount of minor rou

THE FIREMEN'S
STRIKE NOW ON
LATEST LABOR STRUGGLE BE
GAN YESTERDAY.
A Largo Number of Collieries Closed
Down and Moro Will Be Shut To
day, It Is Expectod District
Board of tho V. M. W. of A.
Orders All Firomon W,ho Are Mem
bors of That Organization Not to
Strike Engineers Decide Not to
Do Any Firing,
Tlye' threatened strike of the sta
tionary firemen employed at the var
ious mines throughout this valley be
came a reality yesterday morning,
when the strike order decided upon ut
Sunday's convention went Into effect.
It will be impossible to tell the ex
tent of the strike or the strength of
the llteincn's organization until today,
because In a large number of Instances
the men did not quit work until 5
o'clock yesterday aflcrnoon, that be
ing the time limit decided upon at the
meeting held on Monday night.
A falily largo number of mines
throughout the valley were closed
down all day yesterday, however, as
the result of the firemen quitting work.
The average number of firemen em
ployed at a colliery Is only about eight,
four to a shift, yet tho refusal to work
on the part of this small number yes
terday threw out of employment as
many as 600 men at some of the mines.
The Delaware and Hudson company
was the biggest sufferer by yesterday's
strike, nearly nil the firemen employed
by that corporation being members of
the firemen's organization. Kvery
mine and colliery operated by the
company, both up and down tho val
ley, with very few exceptions, was
closed down by reason of the strike.
The big Coalbrook breaker at Car
bondale, which Is supplied with coal
from the six or seven mines and drifts
In the vicinity of that city was closed
down all day.
ONLY ONK 1DLK.
None of the Lackawanna collieries In
or around the city was closed down
with the exception ot the Cayuga, In
North Scranton, but several of that
company's mines down the valley, In
cluding the Ullss, Auchlncloss and
Woodward, were shut down all day.
None of the fourteen collieries of the
Scrunton Coal company and Elk Hill
Coal and Iron company were closed
down, and as far in; could be learned
all the Pennsylvania Coal company's
mines worked full time. Four of the
eight collieries controlled by the Tem
ple Iron and Coal company were closed
down.
It would appear that the firemen aro
not going to have the unanimous nnd
hearty support of tho mine workers'
organization, ns they so confidently
expected they would have. About one
half of the mine firemen In this val
ley are members of the fire-men's or
ganization, while the other half nro
irombnir of the t'nlted Mine AVorkers
of America.
Tho firemen who belong to tho Mlno
AVorkers' organization are largely cm
ployed by the Lackawanna company
nnd they were In a quandary yesterday
morning as to whether they should go
out on strike or not. They were fear
ful of going out without the consent of
the Mine Workers and the district
headquarters of the latter organization
In this city was besieged yesterday
with inquiries from anxious firemen
seeking Information touching on this
point.
District President Nleholls. realizing
the Importance of the matter, called a
special meeting of tho district execu
tive board to consider It. This meet
ing was held nt district headquarters
In the Urn nd Central annex In the af
ternoon. The board, after a brief dis
cussion, decided to Instruct Its officers
to notify all the firemen belonging to
the Mine Workers' organization who
asked for Information that they should
remain nt work until ordered to strike
by the oillcers of their own organiza
tion. rn.KSIDK.NT N1CHOLLS EXPLAINS.
President Nleholls, when asked by a
Tribune man last night, to explain
why this nctlon was taken, stated that
under the rules of the Mine AVorkers'
organization none of the members
could quit work unless ordered to do so
by their own officers. The firemen
would have no more right to strike
without the authority of tho district
ofllcers, he said, than would tho dri
vers. "Is there any possibility that the
dlstilct board may authorize n strike
of the firemen who are members of
the Mine AVorkers' association"? Mr,
Nleholls was asked.
"That would not be done without
first consulting our national ofllcers."
he replied, He would not state
whether or not the ndvlco of President
Mitchell had been asked for on this
point, but remarked with a smile that
1k was In close touch with that of
ficial. He refused to say anything in ref
erence to a direct question ns to wheth
er tho Mine AVorkers at nny colliery
would be ordered out In case tho
places of tho striking firemen were
filled by non-union men,
It was claimed at the firemen's head
quarters last night that tho effect of
the board's action would be the
strengthening of tho firemen's organ
ization. It was stated that fifty new
members had been received Into the
local union during the day nnd that a
largo percentage of this number were
men who Joined after they had heard
of tho district board.
CLAIM OF STniKKnS.
Tho strikers claimed last night that
the majority of tho firemen employed
by the Lacknwanna company will go
out this morning. They say there was
a misunderstanding of the strike or
der nnd that things will bo righted
satisfactorily today.
State President Mullahy was not In
tho city yesterday, being busy down
tho valley, but he is expected to bo
hero today to direct local operations.
International President Morton, of
Chicago, Is nlso expected hero today.
If these two ofllclals arrive they will

ley's hall, North Scranton, where local
headquarters have been established.
Action, which will have on Import
ant lienrlng ,on the strike, was taken
last night nt a special meeting or
Local union No. f0, of the National
Steam Hoisting Knglneers' associa
tion, held In Archbald hall, on AVest
Market street. The eighty members
present unanimously decided not to do
any firing nt any of the collieries or
mines and also not to Instruct anybody
who might bo sent to take the strikers'
places.
A committee of tho engineers was
sent to the firemen's meeting, which
was In progress In O'Malley's hall a
few doors away, to nnnounce the ac
tion. AVhen tho committee reported,
the members were cheered loud nnd
long.
The strikers' places nt the collieries
which were closed down yesterday
wore taken In the majority of In
stances by the foremen, who did mere
ly sufficient firing to keep the fans nnd
pumps going. Tho strikers claim that
the bosses cannot stand this work very
long, as It lequlres a seasoned man,
used to extreme heat, espoclnlly dur
ing this very warm weather.
LACKAAVANNA MEN MEET.
Local Vnlon, No. 803, of the Vnlted
Mine AVorkeis of America, comprising
the engineers, firemen, machinists and
pump runners employed nt the Pyne,
Taylor, Ilolden, Central, Sloan, Hamp
ton, Continental, Archbald and Bcllc
vtie collieries and the AVnshhurn street
nlr shaft, met In Jayne's hall on Jack
son street last evening to take action
on the proposed strike.
The union is composed of between
sixty nnd seventy members, all of
whom were represented In person or
by proxy. AVIIIInm E. Markwlck pre
sided at the meeting and B. T. James
was secretary. The local was In ses
sion for several hours, during which
time the various phases of tho strike
were discussed.
After due deliberation It was de
cided that no action could bo taken
In the matter, as the union Is governed
by the rules of the First district,
which were adopted at the Olyphant
convention held on April 10,1901, in
which this clause Is Included;
"This dbitrlct will not necognlz?
any strike or other difficulty that may
have been brought about by any local
union or Its members, unless they have
first notified the Executive Board nnd
received their sanction." .
Tho men will, therefore, continue
work ns usual, unless they aro called
out by the district officers of the United
Mine Workers.
Of the above named collieries the
Sloan and Central have been idle for
the past three weeks, while repairs
are being made, but the englneeis,
firemen nnd pump-runners have been
nt work as usual. The decision of
Local S03 to remain at work practically
settles the question as far as the col
lieries in the Keyser A'alley are con
corned. This union Is not affiliated
with the International association of
Firemen, although Its members may
become Identified with both.
D. & H. SL'FFKItKD.
Superintendent C. C. Bose, of the
coal department of the Delaware and
Hudson company, admitted yesterday
afternoon to a Tribune man thnt the
majority of the collieries of that com
pany were closed down ycsteiday ns
the result -of the strike.
"Yes," said he, "the majority of our
mines ore Idle today, as the result of
tho strike. There are a few working,
here and there, but only a few."
AVhen asked to make some statement
netting forth tho company's side of
the controversy, Mr. Hose said:
"I don't sen that there Is any state
ment to make. The firemen demnnded
an eight-hour day at the present wage
rate and this company refused tho de
maud, because It considered that It
was paying Its firemen enough. Our
firemen are now working on a twelve
hour shift, on the average, and to put
In three eight-hour shlts at the pres
ent wage rate, as demanded by the
men would mean Just exactly a fifty
per cent. Increase in the present wages
paid. Tho company does not feel that
It can afford to pay this, and so the
demand was refused. AVe feel that our
firemen nro being decently paid at
present. A'c gave them an unsolicited
ten per cent. Increase last fall, along
with the other men, after the big coal
strike."
Superintendent Loomls, of the coal
department of tho Delaware, Lacka
wanna and AA'estern company, denied
himself to newspaper men and sent
out word through Chief Clerk Tobey
that ho had nothing whatever to say
nnd thnt ho would give out no Infor
mation regarding the number of mines
belonging to tho company which were
affected yesterday by the strike.
O. & AV. ALL KKUIT.
General Manager John It, Bryden, of
the Ontario and AVestern coal depart
ment, said that the fourteen mines un
der his control were all working yes
terday, not a fireman having gone out.
He seemed to think that they would
all be working again today and said
that cars had been ordered for this
morning nt all the mines.
At the Olenwood mlno nt Mayfleld
where desperate efforts have been
made for over a month to free tho mlno
of the water that has flooded it, the
places of the strikers were taken by
foremen and the like. The cutting oft
ot the supply of steam from that mine
would be a very serious matter at this
time.
Tho Kingston Coal company, which
controls three collieries, granted the
demand of the firemen yesterday after
noon and they returned to work after
being out for only a few hours. These

caused considerable discussion, not
only nmong the contestants and their
friends, but also among tho reading
public, who nre taking great Interest
In the contest.
Garfield Anderson, of Carbondale,
made a return of Vi points and Is Just
that much further ahead of Rucklng

Bo nr I Bonds a n d
. & M. mortgages have
uiwys uccii
considered among the safest in-
vestments. The one drawback
which they have always had has
been the lack of convertibility. It
the mortgagee desired to sell, he
must wait until the title has been
examined and then possibly lose
his purchasers because of some de
fect or irregularity in the title, which
the purchaser's attorney may dis
cover. The mortgagee's policy of
this company may be assigned with
a bond and mortgage by the simple
endorsement of the mortgagee.
There is no expense; it is as simple
as endorsing a check or a note.
