Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Engineers, Firemen and Bump runners Decide to Continue at Work After Failing to Have the Strlko Order Repealed Delaware and Hudson Men Take Similar Ac tion and tho Erie Men Havo As sured tbe Company They Will Not Go Out. Last Wednesday, at a meeting of 350 Delaware, Lackawanna and Western colliery engineers, llremcn und pump runncrs, uml some others, at St. David's hull, It wuh unanimously agreed that they should not go on strike to morrow and that the United Mine Workers' ofllcials should be brought to repeal the ntlrke order directed to them. A committee waited on President Mit chell and the district officers at Wllkes Barrc Saturday, after having made fu tile efforts for two days to secure a hearing, and presented their case. Sat urday night the committee returned and made tho following report: To Mr. John J. McAndrew, President: AVe, your committee appointed to pro sent tho resolutions adopted at a meting held In St. David's hall Hay 28, 1902, to tho SHERIFF'S PROCLAMATION. Deputy sheriffs drove throughout the county yesterday posting In and around all the collieries warning all persons not to trespass on tho company's property or Interfere with their workmen. The notices are printed on posters three feet square. This action on the part of the 41 sheriff was in anticipation of possible trouble resulting from the engl- 41 neei's, firemen and pumprunners remaining at work today. The procla- mation reads as follows: SHERIFFS PROCLAMATION, All persons are hereby notified erty or commit any depredations of terfere with the nersons employed Y. .... wV.!1m AMMin ,..! 4. ff1 .. wl AW-M spective homes to their work.

Hotel Hurt, AVilkes-Barro, by Nationul Presidont Mit chell and the three presidents of the several districts. After a fair discussion of the question at Issue, was informed that the order could not be recalled. Therefore, after using every honorable means to have said order recalled, your committee report they have utterly failed. Respectfully submitted, John K Mor gan, Mellaril Morgan, Michael McHugh, Ben T. James, M. C. Blrtley, John H. Phillips, secretary of committee. ORDER ISSUED. Upon receiving this report Mr. Mc Andrew issued the following order: Notice To all engineers, firemen and pumprunners who attended the meeting of tho said craftsmen named above: After receiving tlio report of tho com mittee there can be but one conclusion thnt is, all who attended the above meet ing shall abide by the resolutions adopted at the meeting held on tho 2Sth instant and remain at work. J. J. McAndrew, Chairman. Saturday at noon, when the commit tee believed it was no longer expedient to continue its efforts to got a hearing before tho Mine AVorkers' ofllcials, it resolved to issue the following state ment: , Scrantou, Pa., May M, 1902. At a meeting held in St. David's hall, May 2 tho following resolutions were adopted: AVhertis, The officers of tho United Mine AVorkers of America, in session at AVIlkcs-Bairc, Pa., on May 22, issued an order calling on all engineers, pumpmen and firemen to cease work on Juno 2, if the eight-hour workday was not granted by the various companies; and Whereas, Tho engineers and firemen ate not-moperly organized, which fact Is owing chiefly to the action by the Ameri can Federation of Labor at its conven tion held in Scranton In December, 1901; and AVhereas, Said .convention decided that the above-named craftsmen should dis band their respective organizations and becomo members of the various locals of tho United Mine AVorkers of America. Against this action we protested vigor ously, unless wo were given separate charters, so us to keep our organization intact; and AVhereas, Tho United Mine AVorkers of America, at tho Indianapolis convention of 1902, refused to grant this request, con sequently our organizations were swept out of existence, leaving at least 1,000 of our number unorganized; therefore, in view of tho facts hero set forth, bo it AV ANTED ORDER RESCINDED. Resolved, That wo request President Mitchell and the executive boards of tho United Mine AVorkers to rescind tho order calling on us to cease work on Juno 2. This order does not meet with our ap proval, nor does it meet with tho ap proval of the community- at large, AVo cannot spo wheio this action would bo of any assistance to tho mine workers, ns wo positively know that our places would be Immediately filled. In view of tho facts hem set forth, he Resolved, That a committee of flvo be appointed to wait upon tho executive committee of tho United Mine AVorkers of America, und endeavor tq havo tho order, of strike on Juno 2 rescinded; and be It further Resolved, As tho unanimous decision of this meeting thnt wo continue to work as usual, as we feel that It would bo un wlso to obey the command of nn organ ization 19 which tho majoilty of us do not belong; bo It further Resolved, That a copy of these reso Intlons bo forwarded to tho oflleers of the United Mine Workers of America, and ulso to tho city press, A committee of flvo was appointed und on Wednesday afternoon, Jiuy 2S, waited 1111 Prebldent Nlcholls and two members of tho executive committee, after a lengthy conference they were given to understand that Mr. Mitchell, tho na tional president, would arrive In Wilkes. Barre, Thursday or Friday, and tW l" resolutions would bo presented to his notice, and that this committee would be notified and given un opportunity to ex plain their action before tho wholo ex ecutive committee. After waiting until tills time, Satuiday morning, May 3, wo have failed to hear anything from tho executive committee of tho United Mine AVorkejs of Amorlco, This committee hus come to thn conclusion to muke them selves right before tho public. After us. Ing all honorable means to have tho or der calling out engineers, firemen and pumprunners recalled, waiting until stuted time, wo havo come to tho conclu sion thnt thn resolutions shall be given to tho press, with this explanatory letter. John E. Moran, M. C. Blrtley, Ben T, James, Michael J. McHugh. Richard Morgan, John II. Phillips, Committee, After having taken this action, the committee received A telegram to go to Wllkes-Barre. They went and had an Interview with President Mitchell and tho district ofllceru. Tho reBUlt of their visit Is told above. A canvass was made by the commit tee yeBterday of nil tho Delaware, lackawauna and Western engineers, pump-runners and firemen, and every man who was rcen agreed to remain at work. The only men not seen were a few of those who arc on the night shift and who happened to be out when the committeemen called. In conversation with a Tribune man yesterday, J. J. McAndrew, chairman of the general meeting of engineers, pump-runners and firemen, expressed the belief that about all the men In the First district, which Includes tho Delaware, Lackawanna and Western collieries located between tho Storrs shaft, on the north, and the Hnllstead, on tho south, will be at, work as usual. There may bo a fewfhe said, who will remain away, but even these recognize tho absurdity of their abandoning their positions. Tho resolutions adopted to continue work were practically unani mous, he said, and on this fact he bases his belief that the men will not go out. Regarding the conference between the committee and tho ofllcials of the union, Mr. McAndrew said they re ported having been cordially received by President Mitchell, but wcra, given to understand that such a thing as re calling the strike order was entirely out of the question. No specific reasons were given them as to why the order would not be re scinded, but tho committeemen were of tho opinion that had they been per mitted to confer with President Mlt- not to trespass upon this prop any kind, or in any manner in thereon or about the same, eith . .... nMlM 4n AV 4-l.A... .A chell before Saturday something might have been accomplished. The committeemen are Inclined to the belief that District President Nlcholls is responsible for much of the delay caused in the publication of the reso lutions and the committee's failure to obtain an earlier conference with President Mitchell. SHERIFF'S PROCLAMATION. The immediate occasion of the proc lamation issued by Sheriff Schadt was a requisition from each of the coal com panies for protection for their prop erties. The requisitions reached the sheriff's office Saturday, and each was nccompanied by a list of the properties for which protection was sought. Sheriff Sehadt was in Wilkes-Barre yesterday afternoon and had a confer ence with President Mitchell. The sheriff Informed him of the requisitions and the course he had taken to meet them. Mr. Mitchell heartily endorsed his action and prophesied that he would have no occasion to use his deputies to preserve order. The strikers, Mr. Mitchell stated, have all received in structions to keep away from the com panies' properties and avoid all occa sions of trouble. The Delaware and Hudson engineers and pump-runners, at a meeting in this city last Thursday, adopted a resolu tion similar to that of the Lackawanna men. The Ontario and AVestern men, by a vote of 58 to 46, decided to obey the strike order, after hearing an ad dress from District President Nlcholls, of the United Mine Workers. Despite this vote, it is thought that the engi neers, for the most part, will remain at work. HAD NO MEETING. The Erie men have had no general meeting, but at the local meetings It was decided In nearly every Instance to remain at work. The Forest City, May field and Dunmore men have assured the company that they will not quit. The men of tho Hillside division, down tho valley, did likewise. The men in the Plttston region have taken no for mal action, but the engineers, it is said, will positively remain at work. The probabilities aro that very few of the engineers and not many of tho pump-rupners of the Lackawanna re gion will go out on strike. The fire men's Job Is not as desirable a one as that of the engineer or pump-runner, nnd consequently they will not have as much of an Inducement as the others to keep them at work. Their places, how ever, can bo readily filled, the com panies say, and us a result there Is not much worry over what they will do. A prominent mine official said last evening that a canvass of the different companies of this region convinces him that n very small percentage of tho engineers, pump-runners and fire men will obey tho strike order, "But whatever they do," ho added, "It can bo rolled upon that the companies will not allow their mines to bo flooded, no matter whut tho cost," Strikers continue to leave In largo numbers for other places where em ployment Is to be had. A party of one hundred and fifty will start today for the Ohio coal fields, Foreign-speaking miners are leaving on every train for Now York, to take ship for tho old country. USING SOFT COAL. The Lackawanna railroad Is using soft coal on Its "Bloom" division en gines, that it may save Its supply of hard coal for theunaln lino passenger trains. The engineers, firemen and pump runners employed at tho Storrs No, 1 and 2 and Johnson mines at Dickson City are members of Local unions Nos. 1010, 1229 and 1614, repectlvely. A join; meeting of these locals wus held In (ho boiough building on Saturday af ternoon to consider the order calling out tho men above mentioned. Stephen Reap, of Olyphunt, a mem her of the district executive board, pre sided, and Burgess William Kennedy acted as secretary. Tho latter! stated yesterday that the firemen, engineers and pump-runners attending the! meet ing were unanimously in favor oi obey ing the order and remaining away from work today. Much udverso criticism of the action taken by the Delaware, Lackawanna and AVestern employes, who asked that the strike order be rescinded, was In dulged In. AValter Llbudjeskl made nn uddresss, In which ho appealed to the foreign mine workers to refrain from lawlessness and disorder. Other ad dresses were made by Stephen Roapc and P, J. McCormlck, of Olyphant, and James Ackersllo, of this city. There will be a general meeting of all the locals of North Scranton at St. Mary's hall, West Market Btreot, on Tuesday afternoon at 1.30, when oil United Mine Workers of America aro tcqucstcd to be present, m 1 1 TONIGHT'S CONCERT AT LYCEUM Programme That Will Be Rendered by Catholic Choral Club.

Matters Reported at the Recent General Assembly and Passed Upon by It Will Bo Considered by the Presbyteries During the Year. Those Who Will Have a Vote. In tho First Presbyterian church yes terday morning, Ilev. Jumcs McLeodi D. D., delivered a discourse on tho "Proposed Revision of the Presbyterian Confession of Faith." He said: You aro all aware that tho recent gen eral assembly of our church took upon itself a gravo responsibility by preparing sovoral amendments to the constitution of our beloved church; and by issuing "A Brief Statement of tho Reformed Faith," for tho benefit of our church members. This action Is so Important that 1 cm brace the earliest opportunity of Inviting your attention to it. Tho action of tho assembly was In fact tho work of a largo committee of ministers and ruling cldors. which wus appointed a year ago. This committee of twenty-one members, was given specific Instructions, and to their credit it should bo said that they carried out their Instruc tions with remarkablo fidelity. It is also significant, and poihaps it Is cause fur congratulation, that this largo commit tee came to a unanimous agreement. It Is furthermore significant, that tho report of this committee was adopted by tho almost unanimous vote of the general as sembly. The committee was enjoined by the gen eral assembly of 1901, that In suggesting changes in our "Confession, of Faith" and in preparing a brief statement of our church doctrines for the use of the mem bers of our church it must "In no way Impair the integrity of tho system of doc trine set forth In our confession and taught In tho Holy Scriptures." Tho brief statement of doctrine, udopt cd by tho general assembly, Is not to be part of the constitution of our church. It was prepared and Intended only for the information of those members of our church who are not trained theologians-, and, also, in order that others, outside the Presbyterian church, may know what our church believes teaching various specified doctrines. It Is a document in tended for popular use, nnd therefore it Is, In large measure, free from ambiguity and from technical words or phrases. GODS ETERNAL DECREE. Tho third chapter of our Confession of Faith treats "of God's Eternal Decree," and its critics and the critics of our church havo brought against this chap ter the charge of fatalism, or of necessi tarianism which, if tiue, destroys the doc trine of free-will nnd abolishes the idea and the fact of human responsibility. The Presbyterian church has always dis claimed nnd denied the truth of this charge, and it is now proposed to state our belief so clearly that no honest critic will ever again misrepresent our doctrine. It Is proposed to embody in a"Declaratory Statement," our interpretation of that part of the third chapter of our confession which has been so widely misunderstood nnd misrepresented. To such an inter pretation, if It bo correct, there can be no valid objection. On tho contrary it should bo heartily .welcomed and approved by all tho officers and members of our church. The third section of the tenth chapter of our Confession which says that "elect In fants, dying in infancy, are regenerated and saved by Christ through the Spirit," has been tho occasion of much discussion, and unwarranted inferences have been drawn from it, which we specifically and emphatically deny. The proposed "Dec laratory Statement" puts tho belief of our church touching the salvation of all in fants dying In infancy beyond all fur ther controversy. It says: "With refer ence to chapter X, section 3, of the Con fession of Faith, that It Is not to be re garded as teaching that any dying in in fancy nro lost. Wo believe that all dy ing in infancy nro Included In tho elec tion of grace and aro regenerated and saved by Christ through the Spirit who works when and where and how He pleases." Chapter XVI treats of good works done by tho unregenerato. It is a subject which has also been tho occasion of much discussion. It is now proposed to modify the langungo of the old Confes sion as follows: LANGUAGE MODIFIED. Overture No, 5. Shall section 7, chap ter XVI, of tho Confession of Faith bo changed so as to read: VII. Works done by unregenerate men, although for the matter of them they may bo things which God commands, and in themselves praiseworthy and useful, nnd although tho neglect of such things is sin ful and displeasing to God; yet bocause they proceed not from a heart purified by faith, nor nro done In a right manner, ac cording to Ills Word, nor to a light end tho glory of Go-d; they come short of what God requires, and do not make any man to receive tho grace of God. Tho twenty-second chapter of the Con fession says Unit "it is a sin to refuse an oath touching anything thnt Is good nnd just, being Imposed by lawful au thority." It Is proposed to strlko out this clause Chaptor XXV deals with tho popo of RoQip who claims to bo tho head of the church. It characterizes him not only ns "Anti-Christ," but, also, as "tho man of sin, and son of perdition." This language Is sovcro, and many In our church regard It as unwarranted. It Is therefore pro posed to omit any mention of tho popo of Rome, and to muke tho broud and com prehenslvo statement that 110 person has any right to claim to bo tho vicar of Christ. This Is the proposed substitute: Overturn No, 7. Shall the following Bectlon bo substituted for section fl, chap ter XXV, of tho Confession of Faith, vU? VI, Tho Lord Jesus Christ is the only head of tho church, and the claim of any man to bo tho vicar of Christ und the head of tho church, Is unseripturnl, with out wan-ant In fact, nnd is a usurpation dishonoring to tho Lord Jesus Christ. It Is further proposed to add to our Con fession two now chapters nno concerning tho Holy Splilt, nnd another concerning tho Lovo of God nnd Christian missions. WILL BE DISCUSSED. Thcso chapters havo been prepared with care, and they will como up before all our Presbyteries for discission during tho present ecclesiastical year. There aro In our church 2.T3 Presbyteries, und 7,532 min isters, All thcso miulstors and an equal number of ruling elders, will havo a right to discuss and voto upon nil tho subjects proposed by tho assembly, and If two thirds of nil our Presbyteries glvo their upprovnl, tho proposed amendment will becomo a part of tho constitution of our church, und will bo embodied In our Con fession of Faith. These aro Important mutters, and It Is tho duty of ull our ministers and elders, and church members to pruy that (Sod may bestow upon thoso who aro to de cide these questions all needed wlbdom and grace, so that God's truth may bo conserved, and that Ills kingdom and glory muy bo promoted. v ' BO ADJUST GRIEVANCES.
