POSITION OF
THE STRIKERS
SET FORTH AT LENGTH AT DIG
MASS MEETING.
Armory Crowded to the Doors with
nn Enthusiastic Audience Which
Listens to nnd Applauds Ringing
Speeches Citizens Dent on Media
tion Find Company Determined to
Fight to a Finish nnd Win at Any
Cost More Trouble on West Side.
That Cottucllmanic Committee.
The old armory was crowded to the
doors last nlRlit at tho mass meeting
conducted by the striking trolley men.
It was a crowd whoso sympathy was
enthusiastically with the strikers, nnd
during the two hours and a half of
speoehmaklug, It made very frequent
demonstrations of this fact. Every
speaker was Riven 11 big ovation upon
being Introduced and his every period
was the occasion of an outburst of
applaiiHe. Some of them took up a
good deal of time with discussions of
subjects not Immediately pertinent to
too occasion, but others made up for
this by handling the question of tho
hour In an Interesting, Intelligent man
ner, and on the whole the meeting
was highly successful from every point
of view.
John II. Dovlne, president of the
clerk's association, was chairman. Tho
speakers, In tho order they were in
troduced, were Howard 11. Caldwell,
of Philadelphia, a. national organizer
of the American Federation of halior;
John J. Ilarte, formerly prominent In
Knights of Labor circles; Hon. John P.
Quinnan. It. L. Jteeves, of Pittsburg,
a member of the) national executive
board of the Amalgamated Associa
tion of Street Car Kmployw, and M.
J. Barrett, a member of the strikers'
executive board.
ON THK PLATFOltM.
On the platform, besides these were
President P. J. Shea and Vice-President
Thomas Edwards, of the local di
vision of tho ear men's union; Hugh
Fr.iyne, organizer of the Central La
bor union; Col. K. 11. Hippie ami
Ccorge AW Clarke, of Clarke Bros. The
last named two were among the busi
ness men invited to be vice-presidents,
and who upon being recognized in the
audience were escorted to the stage by
the strikers' committeemen.
Just before the meeting started the
.strikers who had seats arose in 11 body
at the sugsostion of VJce-L'restdcnt
Edwards anil gave their places to
others who were standing. In the.
audience were about one hundred
wonu.11, most or them wives of the
strikers. One striker's wife had an
infant along who creaed some merri
ment by waking up and applauding at
an unappropriate time.
The speeches most appropriate to tlte
occasion were made by Jlr. Quinnun
and Mr. Barrett. The latter is a
young man who never before made a
speech, but his effort last night, leav
ing that of Mr. Quinnun out of the
comparison, was the best of the lot.
After modestly asking the audience
to bear with his shortcomings as an
orator lie proceeded in a plain, con
cise and impassioned manner to tell
what the audience came to hear, the
reason the trollcymen are on strike.
The strike was not precipitated by
the discharge of the two Carbondale
men, Mr. Barrett went 011 to say. That
was only an incident. Tho grievances
leading to the strike began to accu
mulate with the ending of the Decem
ber strike. At that time a verbal
agreement was entered into. Less
than a month had gone by when the
men found It necessary to insist on
reducing the agreement to writing be
cause of Mr. Sillininn's evasions. After
a conference lasting several days be
tween a committee of the union on the
one sido,4Ciul President Clark, General
Manager Sllllman and Director Timo
thy Burke, on the other, a written
agreement was arrived at. The men
signed it and sent it to Mr. Sllllman
for his signature. After several days,
he announced he would not sign it un
less 11 provision was Inserted regard
ing non-union men, that would com
pletely vitiate the contract. President
Clark was appealed to by the commit
tee and the contract was signed as
drafted at the conference.
EVERY CLAUSE VIOLATED.
Since, then Mr. Sllllman has violated
every clause of tho contract, and
when the men would protest ho would
adopt equivocating or evasive tactics.
One of the clauses was to the effect
that the extra men, who arc paid only
when they work, should not be re
quired to wait around Idle after G
o'clock p. in., when they went on at
1" o'clock 11, ni. The company required
these men to stay until S o'clock -p. 111.
The men protested and Mr. Sllllmun
promised to havu the extra men re
lieved at l! o'clock. The very next
night, the extra men were required to
stay on duty until 8 o'clock) and It
has continued that way every night
since.
This Is only one Instance. With
every clause of tho contract there Is a
similar story to tell, The men saw
that Mr. Sllllman was not disposed to
observe tho agreement ho had so re
luctantly signed, and that lie was bent
on stirring up trouble. AVI1011 the
iliHchaigo of Gordon nnd Carden cunie,
tho men decided to make a stand, be
ing satlstled that the dlschnrgo of
these men was unwarranted, and noth
ing more or less than another step in
tho movement to break up the union
by minimizing its power in tho eyes
of tho members.
Mr. Sllllman would not admit that
tho union had any right to question
his right to discharge men. Tho men
contended that It had. Without ad
mitting that ho was wrong Mr. Sllll
man consented to the commit tea's
proposition to arbitrate the dispute.
Mr. Sillliuaii wanted one nrbltrator,
Tho men advised that there should be
three, and Mr. Sllllnian agreed to
three. After a lew days Mr. Sllllman
repudiated this agreement, and cmno
nut with nn offer to refer to Bishop
Unban the question as to whether or
not the discharge of tho two men was
proper under the contract,
The men were willing to accept this
fl Particular Interest
Is exercised In every case we fit.

take our word for It, simply ask

to tlud) who has been to

Optician druqrstorb
until .they found that Mr. Sllllman
would only agree that ho would con
vince a disinterested preson that the
discharges were not in vlotutlon of the
coiitrnct. Ho was not willing lo have
an unconditional urbltralloii. lie want
ed to simply prove to some third party
that the discharges were proper, with
out giving tho accused men a chance of
limiting a proper defense. The men
wanted arbitration pure nnd simple,
without tiny restraints on the arbi
trator, and they further wnntcd an as
surance that the contract was going to
be observed hereafter. The men made
a counter-proposition to this effect,
waiving their demand for the reinstate
ment of the discharged men and ask
ing Mr. Sllllman for an answer. He
did not answer, and the men went on
strike.
Mr. Qulnnan, In his speech, told the
men they were right In refusing to ar
bitrate on the basis proposed by tho
company. li nn arbitration all ques
tions In dispute should be submitted to
the nrbltrator. If a single clement of
the specific process of arbitration Is
eliminated It Is not arbitration. To try
a man when he Is not present, or when
his accusers are not. brought to face
him, Is not a trial. The men were right
hi not hanging the reputation of two
of .their brothers on the outcome of an
arbitration such as was proposed by
the company.
In concluding a really line and tem
perate address, Mr. Qulnnan said:
"Public sympathy Is with you, but If
you even countenance Infringement of
law, you will lose It, anil the loss of
public sympathy means the loss of your
strike. Continue In the way you have
gone and you will win. 1 speak plain'
to you, because I am satlsllcd you
know that my sympathies are with
you. 'Order Is heaven's llrst law.'
Nine-tenths of your struggle depends
on your orderly conduct. Do not bo
counseled by demagogues and agi
tators. Ask tho public to help you, but
do not bo disrespectful to those who do
not share your opinions. Restrain the
Impetuous ones; let your calm, conser
vative men to tho front. Be free from
hasty Impulses and, above all, be not
Influenced by demagoguery."
GAVE SOME DETAILS.
Organizer Beeves told tho audience
some of the details in which the com
pany had broken faith with the men.
Ten hours bad been agreed upon as a
day's work, yet this was utterly dis
regarded and sixty percent, of the men
were put on runs that made it im
possible for llient to earn $1.."0 a day,
and there were some regular men
earning 81 cents a day.
It was solemnly agreed at the love
feast which followed the last strike,
that till animosity should cease, yet
Mr. Sllliman told the committee when
it hurl occasion to remind him of this,
that It Is outside Ilia possibility of
human nature to forget such a thing."
The company wants to break up the
union. It has continually prodded the
men. with a view of stirring them to
strike. Tho men want a union and
must have one. Tl Is a question oK
whether or not the union will be al
lowed to live.
The other speakers dealt mainly with
general economic questions. Mr.
cllartu commended the strikers and the
community at large on the absence of
serious disorder and urged th.it there
was no occasion for violence. What
little trouble has occurred, Mr. Harte
said, was such as could bo appro
priately and fully penalized by the ap
plication ol 11 parent's slipper. Mr.
Caldwell's main argument was for tho
use of the ballot box to redress labor's
wrongs.
Prior to the meeting, the strikers
paraded the central city streets, to the
music of Lawrence's baud and the
P. O. S. of A. drum corps. Large
crowds cheered them all along tho line
of inarch.
Among tho banners carried in 1hi
parade were two bearing these ques
tions, "Can You P.aisc a Family on 14
Cents an Hour for Eight Hours?" und
"What is the Clergy Doing for Us?"
John McOowan, of Carbondale, re
cently of Philadelphia, one of the spe
cial oflicers employed by the Scranton
Railway company, went on strike yes
terday. Ho repaired forthwith to strike
headquarters and reported that the im
ported men were very much dissatislled
with the treatment the company Is giv
ing them and that when they receive
their pay today many of them will de
sert. They wore promised S2.50 a day
and good hoard and lodging, they
claim. At first the board was good, but
It has grown worse, day by day, until
now it is very unsatisfactory.
McGowan says he quit because the
company wanted him to act as a con
ductor on the Carbondale line. He re
plied that he had engaged himself as a
special ofJlcor and was willing to work
as such. iut he did not propose to take
any position which would subject him
to the charge of having taken another
man's job.
WILL NOT RETREAT.
Several citizens, wholly unbiased, and
having only the general good nl heart,
have taken It upon themselves dining
the past two days to look into the
strike situation, with a view of effect
ing a settlement. One after another
they came to the conclusion that nn
amicable settlement was out of the
question.
Each of them, when seen by a Trib
une reporter, declared that, there was
no longer any question hut that tho
company was determined to persist In
the policy it outlined the first day of
the strike, and that the only way tho
controversy will ever bo ended will he
by the men returning lo work and then
making terms.
General Mnuager Sllllnian was found
to bo unalterably determined not to ic
trcat one step from tho position he has
taken, lie mado the claim that the
company has already won, and that the
only thing left for any mediator to do
Is to convince the men that the longer
they slay out tho fewer of them will
be taken back.
To one of tho parties who waited upon
him, Mr. Sllllman made the chii'ui that
the citizens who really have tho wel
fare of the community at heart demand
tho company shall win such a decisive
victory that tho men will not hereafter
bo ready lo hurriedly precipitate a
strike. Ho said positively tho company
had no concessions to make; that there
was no wuy In which tlm company
could tell how many of the old men
would be taken back; and that the
company could not ever again consent
to a contract with the union.
How really sincere the company Is in
these statements, the company olllclals
nlone know. It is certain, though, that
the several parties rcterred to, who
have had interviews with them, came
away convinced that the company is
determined to win a complete victory,
110 matter what the cost, and confident
that It will succeed In Its determin
ation, Parlies who have not beep supplied

ENTITLED
TOFEES
Supreme Court Decides
Case in Favor of the
County Officials
LEGISLATION NECESSARY
Section of tftc Stato Constitution
Providing: That in Counties Containing-
150,000 Population, All
County Officials Shall Re Paid by
Salary, Does Not Execute Itself or
Furnish Court with. Any Means of
Executing- It It lo a Mandate to
tho Legislature but Does Not Be
come Effective Until Legislative
Action Gibbons Appeal Decided.
The Supremo court at Philadelphia
yesterday reversed the Superior court
and affirmed n judgment of tho court
of this county, holding that that sec
tion of the state constitution, provid
ing that In counties containing 150,000
population, all county olllclals shall be
paid by salary, docs not execute Itself
or furnish the courts with any means
of executing It. The Supremo court
says:
"It Is a mandate to the legislature,
but does not become effective until
legislative action."
The case ruled upon was an appeal
by District Attorney Lewis from the
judgment of the Superior court, which
held that he should be paid a regular
salary, Instead of the fees of the otllce.
The judgment was based on the result
of the federal census of 1000.
Mr. Lewis' contention was that, by
reason of being elected a. month before
the census llgures were officially an
nounced, he was exempt from the sec
tion in the constitution providing for
salaries of county officials. The Su
preme court upheld this view, and in a
lengthy opinion decided in Ills favor.
This means that tho court house
ofllcials will continue to enjoy for three
years tho big fees attached to their
respective ollices, instead of being
compelled to accept as their remunera
tion the comparatively modest salaries,
prescribed for county oflkiais in coun
ties having a population of more than
130,000.
FACTS IN THE CASE.
The census was taken "as of June 1,
1800." The result of tho Lackawanna
county census was published in a press
bulletin Nov. 19, 1900. The county of
ficials were chosen at the general elec
tion on Nov. 6, 19U0.
There is a constitutional provision
that the salary of an otllcer can not
be increased or diminished after his
election. The census result decreased
their salaries. It was contended that
the census having been taken as of
Juno 1, 1900, tho population of the
county was more than l."0,000 on elec
tion day, Nov. 6. and that as the law
provided for salaries instead of fees,
when the population reached IfiO.OOO,
the salary system prevailed before tho
officials were elected. The time publi
cation of the result of tho census was
hold to be immaterial. It was simply
tho announcement of a. fact that exist
ed June 1. The fact and not the ascer
tainment and publication of the fact
was held to be tho controlling essen
tial. On the other hand, it was contended
that there is no connection between
tho stato laws and tho taking of the
census and that, in consequence of
this, the only way In which tho census
can bo made to apply itself In effect
ing Pennsylvania laws, is when it be
comes a matter of such general knowl
edge that the courts can take judicial
knowledge of it.
At the time the officials were elected
tho census was not known to them
and they were elected with a popula
tion of the county at a figure less than
IuO.000, as far as they or anyone else
knew. Consequently they stood for
and were placed by the public in ollices
that were to be remunerated by fees.
THE TEST CASE.
Tho case was put to a test by Dis
trict Attorney Lewis demanding und
tho county commissioners refusing
him payment of fees for certain work
performed. Tho local court was divid
ed on the question, Judges Archbald
and Kijlly contending for fees and
Judge Edwards holding that, tho sal
ary system should obtain. The seven
judges of the Superior court agreed
with Judge Edwards, accepting the
reasonings of his dissenting opinion,
nnd reversing tho decision contained
In the majority opinion, written by
Judge Archbald. Now the Supreme
court reverses Judgo Edwards and the
Superior court and coullrnis the find
ings of Judges Archbald and Kelly. It
was admitted by all the lawyers en
gaged In tho case, and implied in tho
opinions from tho bench, that It was
a very close question, with extensive
room for strong arguments on both
sides.
This settles the dispute dually, and

THE GIBBONS CASE.
In the mutter of the contested elec
tion case of Lungstnff ngalnst Kelly,
the appeal of John Gibbons from the
Judgment of the Superior court was
dismissed nt. the cost of the. appellant.
Mr. Gibbous was a witness before tho
election contest examiners, lie refused
to answer certain questions, at the ad
vice of his counsel, on the ground that,
under the stale constitution nnd the
federal bill of lights, a witness Is not
compelled to answer a question It said
answer would tend to Incriminate him.
The local court directed that he
should answer, and committed him as
in contempt until such time ns he
obeyed the court's dircrllons. An ap
peal was taken to the Superior court
nnd tho lower court was sustained. An
appeal was thou taken lo the Supreme
court, and again the decision Is against
Mr. Gibbons. Tho election contest has
been finally disposed of, the board of
examiners no longer exists.
In the case of the Ml. Pleasant Coal
company against, the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western Railroad com
pany, the decree was reversed and the
bill ordered reinstated. This was a dis
pute between the Mt. Pleasant com
pany and tho Lackawanna company
over a conveyor, which the former
company wanted to build above the
railroad tracks.
