Members Listened to Attorneys

Representing the International
Correspondence Schools, Who Told
Why the North End' Street Rnit

Granted the Right to Use Wyom

The company owning the Interna
tional Correspondence schools lust

the running of a street ralhv.iy line
out Wyoming avenue, before the rail
ways eiiiniulltec of common council,
which lias I he ordinance tiwnrdlug a.

urging upon the committee to so

W. A. MAY,
Adv. Leader.
f''!'-''
amend the ordinance as to provide for
tile running, of cars out Penn avenue
instead of out Wyoming avenue, as
proposed. These gentlemen's argu
ments were answered by Attorney Jos
eph O'Hrlen and Former Senator M. 10.
.McDonald, representing tlte new street
railway Interests.
-Mr. Price was the drst of the Cor
respendeuce schools" attorneys lo
speak. He said that he didn't come to
oppose new street railway companies
or Individuals, but rather to plead for
something that would be for the best
interests of the city and of her citi
zens. Wyoming avenue Is now the
only avenue leading to Hie north that
Is free lrom ruilway tracks and suit
able for driving. It is absolutely ne
cessary, lie said, that (here should be
one such street left free in this city,
and It is not absolutely necessary that
the North tend Street Itailway com
pany run Its tracks out this street.
ANOTHKU ROVTI3.
Ho proposed another route by which
the company could reach North
Scranton. The route he proposed was
out Franklin avenue to Vine street, up
Vine street to Penn avenue and out
Penn avenue to Delaware street. This
would necessitate the opeTTIng of Penn
avenue north from Vine street for a
distance of about 1500 feet. Mups
showing the proposed change of route
were introduced and passed around.
Mr. Patterson followed, and said
that the citizens of the city should
have sufllcient civic pride to arise and
say to the councils that they should
refuse to allow un railway tracks on
Wyoming avenue, that it might he
left as a free and open driveway to
which citizens, In a few years, could
point with pride.
The great reason why the new inter
ests should not be permitted to lay
tracks on the street is, however, lie
said, because the Colliery Engineer
company is objecting. He then pointed
out briefly what this company lias al
ready done for the city and is now
doing, and referred to the splendid
new building now in procesr. of con
struction on Wyoming avenue, and
said that it was decided to erect it
there because of the quiet, peaceful
aiiroundlngs.
"This company," said lie. "spent and
is spending, hundreds of thousands of
dollars on Wyoming avenue, with the
idea that its interests would receive
Hie fair treatment from the city which
Is their due. Do you think that you
will do right If you allow this street
railway to run out that street, hi the
face of the objection which this com
pany Is milking?"
Mr. Patterson closed his address by
nsklner information as to the where
abouts of 'the gentlemen who have
made promises before when asking for
franchises. "These men ninde prom
ises," said he, "but they never fulfilled
them. What assurance have you that
these men who nrc now seeking fran
chises will live up to their promises?
None; absolutely none. You should in
sist Hint tlice promises lie put into
and made a part of the ordinances,"
SHOI'LD 11AV11 CONSIDI'ltATION,
.Hon, John P. Quluiuiu said (hat an
enterprise like the Colliery Engineer
company, which has "vested, perman
ent and positive Interests In the city,"
should receive more consideration at
thti hands of council than nti enter
prise whoi-H only local interest Is a
prospective one, The capital of thti
colliery Kugiueer company Is local
capital, and Hie profits derived from
Hie investment are disbursed in uus
cltv.
The Colllerv Ihigiiieei company, he
said, employs 1,500 people in this city,
and It pays these 1,500 nn averngn
wage of $2 a day. or n total of ?3,a0O
per day. Tills would amount to nearly
a million dollars in wages pu year,
ho said, paid right into the hands of
citizens of tills city; live times more
than the new street railway company
would pay if it employed 200 men on
this one Hue, An Institution which is
doing as much as that for Scranton If
Jusstllled In demanding recognition of
Its claims from councils.
The uiilso nnd dirt which would ie
sult lrom iho running of street cars
out Wyoming avenue, would be a
source of greut inconvenience to iiio
schools, he said, and would Interfere
largely with the. Hue printing work
which It is proposed to do in the new
plant.
Attorney Joseph u'llrlen answered
the objections raised by the Colliery
Knqiueer company by saying Umi not
a sliiKle, good reason had been ad
vanced by Its three .Hturiieys iiguinst
the running of street curs out Wyom
ing avenue.
"They speak iibout the promoters of
thene new company being all foreign-
ers," sttlil he. "Tluil is absolutely un
true. Tito presldeili of these companies
litis done inure than any tutiti living
litis roi this city ntul I dery nuy mail
to contradict inc. He's not n foreigner.
He's lived hire nil his life. The r'oster
brothers, who tire Hie head ami front
of the Correspondence school, me not
Scninltin melt. They ciiine In here from
other parts of the slitle nnd If the ur
gillileiit advanced by the gelittelilett
who oppose me was pill In force when
they ciiine, I hey wouldn't be here now."
NO COMPLAINTS MADK,
Mi. O'ltili'ii look occasion to point out
(hut nearly nil the schools, till the hos
pitals and many or the churches in
the city tire along the line of street
rnlhviiys but that no i tunplulnl has ever
been heard. He pointed mil that u
branch of the Delaware and Hudson
riiliroad passes within it few feet of the
new building .on Wyoming aenue and
said Hint the company Is mil raising
any objection In tills,
Civil KnglUfcr Moillt, who mapped
out the line of Hie new roads, said that
the cost or opening' up ivnu avenue
would he Mfiii.OOO nnd that the route
suggested by Mr. Price would not be
feasible ut any rate because of the
small Delaware and Hudson freight
yard nnd the number of railroad tracks
which yntild have to be crossed. IJe
had carefully canvassed the situation,
he stild. and was sure that there was no
other route e::cepl Wyoming avenue
which at all practicable.
Former Senator M. K. McDonald
sold that the Colliery ICnglncer coui-
puny Is trying to do what "a lot of
niossbneks In every two by four town
In the country are trying lo do, 'buck
the wheels of progress.' "
"It can't be done in a city of the size
of Scranton. The people want n new
street railway system In this city and I
believe they're going lo get it."
The new street railway Interests, be
said, have already spent Jl.fi00.0un In
this vicinity and contcmplute expend
ing four or live millions in this city
to complete their system if they get
these franchises. The character of the
work already done, lie said, was a suf
llcient guarantee of what the new com
panies will do, he said. He said that
the principal which should govern
councils is tlte greatest, good for the
greatest number.
The committee decided to adjourn to
meet tonight before the council meet
ing when aetion will be taken on the
ordinance. Jusl before adjournment
Mr. Phillips introduced and succeeded
in having adopted a. resolution asking
City Solicitor Watson to furnish by to
niglil an opinion setting forth whether
the license tax ordinance recently
passed is legal.
It was learned last night from very
good authority that certain council
men propose to offer amendments to the
new franchises tonight providing for a
thirty year grant only and for three
cent fares for children and working
men.
IT CAUSED A STIR,
Saloon Keepers Give Orders to Have
Conditions "Toned Down.'
The publication in the Tribune yes
terday of Director of Public Safety
Wormser's attitude on the question of

keepers in the central part of the city
yesterday.
Jt is known that several of the pro
prietors of these places Immediately
gave orders that conditions which have
heretofore existed must be "toned
down" in the future. Director Worm

SCHOOL TEACHERS
INAUGURATE STRIKE
School Board of West Pittston Has
Not Paid Them and They
Will Not Work.
Within the past few years (his vicin
ity has witnessed strikes of almost
every character, but It remained for
Pittstou to bring forth the most unique
strike in the history of this section of
the state a strike of the school touch
ers of Pittston township.
For several years the school teachers
have boon paid with most woeful
irregularity, and some or them are said
to hold orders on the treasury for back
salaries amounting to from $200 to $1,
0011, covering periods of service ranging
from six months to over eighteen
mouths. Occasionally they would re
ceive a mouth's pay. or some of the
merchants of the town would allow
them goods on an order. Affairs ap
proached the climax three weeks ago,
when the fifteen school teachers of the
township organized a union, and at
meetings thoroughly discussed the seri
ous state of their finances at the ap
proach of Christmas.
They decided to strike. When the
10,000 or more school children of the
township reached the schools yesterday
morning the doors were closed. This
was unusual, for the school teachers
there have been punctual. It wus a
short wait for the pupils until (he
teachers appeared and informed them
there would be no school, as they were
out on strike.
The board haw made many unkept
promises to the teachers, and the latest
Is that they will give them sufllcient
money Monday to tide them over
Christmas time. The treasurer. It Is
said, informed the strikers that t ho
funds of the treasury were low, and
Hint there were important bills that
had to be paid.
