CITY OF SCRANTON WAS
NOT EVEN STAGGERED
.
Blow InfllGtcd bu the Goal Strike
Leaves No Mark That Will Not
Soon Disappear.
UTTERANCES OP SOME
REPRESENTATIVE MEN
Business Will Bnpldly Pick Up and
Big Boom Cin Be Looked for at
Once Becordcr Connell Says the
Future of Sornnton Was Never
Blighter Manager Logan of the
Burl Agency Avers That Seranton
Is Almost Independent of the Coal
Business Views of Secretary Sea
mans o ' the Board of Trade, Samuel
Samter and Hugh Frayne.
Hrrniiton's httslnwa Intercuts tlld mil
suffer grievously by reusw of tin;
stilki'. Htm will, by reuHon of hor nat
ural stability and the agRrcsslvom-xH nf
her bUHlncBS iiien, recover quickly and
permanently from whatever ill-i'ffectH
dlfl attend the strike. The fact that
she weathered the gale so successfully
will be an effective and lasting adver
tisement of her strength and tin; fact
that she Is far from being what might
he cHllcd dependent on the coal busi
ness for sustenance.
These declarations are the summing
up of views expressed by representa
tive, thoughtful citizens, who were in
terviewed by The Tribune, yesterday,
. on the effort of the strike on Hcranton.
No one expressed any fear of serious
consequences and all were confident of
h big and immediate rush of business.
Kecordcr AV. L. Connell said that In
common with all of our.cltizcns he was
fclad the struggle was over. Ills posi
tion, as executive head of the city, has
been a peculiarly trying one during the
past live months, yet he cheerfully
states that the general predisposition of
our people towards peace and good
order has made his burden much easier
In this respect than It might have been,
or was for the authorities In some
localities.
"The future of. Seranton was never
brighter," he said. '"With cheap power,
unexcelled lallroad faelPties and prov
iinity to the best marlat In the world
there would not appear to be any
reason why we should not swing at
once Into the stream of prosperity on
which almost every other community in
the country lias been traveling for the
past two or three years. We have been
deprived from a fair participation in
the general good times by rlretim-,
stances which were unnatural and un
fortunate, and which I happily believe
are removed from us for a long time to
come. 1 feel as if there was going to
be a better understanding from now on
existing between employer and em
ploye, which Is one of the first requis
ites for satisfactory Industrial condi
tions." , FIHST STEP XKGiSSSAUY.
The recorder was asked what he be
lieved was the first step necessary to
accomplish the Industrial rehabilitation
or Seranton. ("First of all," he said,
"we must have and assort confidence in
ourselves; then we must convince capi
tal at home and abroad that an invest
ment here Is safe. A community may
suffer from a glut In the labor market,
but never from a surplus of capital.
AVe. want our home capital to loosen up
and outside capital to come In.
"The push and enterprise of our
moneyed men used to be proverbial,
and so It will be again if we can only
guarantee them industrial peace. Scran -ton's
natural advantages are apparent
enough to commend themselves with
out any particular advertisement by us.
What we must do now Is convince the
prospective Investor that the other con
ditions are equally favorable."
In answer to a question as to the
seneral bearing and conduct of the
people of Seranton during the strike,
the iccorder said: "I am proud of her.
Despite the luct thai we had ten thou
sand to llfteen thousand mine workers
living In the city, and that thousands
more of our people openly .sympathized
v.lth,'tln;ir side of the controversy, and
although many of these people have
fixperiencod the pinch of" actual priva
tion, yet not a life has been lost in ihe
city, nor was there a single disturb
ance, of serious proportions during the
whole period of the strike.
"Seranton Is all right," said the re
corder. "She should, ami I believe will,
make greater progress in th, next live
years titan In nny roriner period hi her
history."
In response tti The Tribune's request
came the following rroni V II, r.ogan,
general manager of the It. II. Dun &
Co. Commercial agency, who, probably,
better than any other iimiu In the city
Is In a position to' speak Intelligently
of tf fronton's Industrial affairs!
Mil. l.OtlAX'rf V1ICWS.
"Time was, In the history of the older
merchants of Scrilnton, when the sug
gestion or a strike by the anthracite
miners brought alarm and fear of re
sults, and the possible contingency, of a
strike lasting live and one-half months
would have brought consternation to
the majority of them. Hut that time,
Judging from late experience, has gone
and In Its place has eo'me a confidence
of the ability of the average merchant
to withstand almost nny crisis which
might evolve from the coal trade.
"The slrlkp of 1H00 did not find them
unprepared and the lesson of past
years was siilllelently well remembered
to keep them ready far the threatened
strike of 1!I0.'. Following, as It did, a
year of prosperous business, It found
them with reduced stocks, small liabil
ity accounts, and, owing to the change
In the system of wage payments, In
better condition to withstand a long
struggle.
"Fortunately, the people who became
Idle were as well equipped for the
struggle as the merchants themselves,
imd this bus been exemplified in many
ways. Witness the very slight. If any,
reduction In savings accounts In banks
anil the absence of actual suffering
among the strikers themselves.
"The statistics stub-Joined, covering
the period between Slay 1 and Oct. IS
for the years 1D0U, iliOl ami 1902, are
Interesting In thai, they show but one
failure for 1P01! tnau for the preceding
year:

"There Is no question but that Seran
ton lias, during the past ten years,
grown away from Its dependency upon
the operation of the mines, until, it Is
believed that at this time not more
than one-third of Its population exists
principally through their operation.
"It is a notable fact that lis diversi
fied industries. Its Improvements of
various character ami the construction
of a new railroad and Improvements on
old ones have provided many of the
enforced Idler. with occupation ami
wages and this Is seen In the main
tenance of the volume of trade, par
ticularly In the shopping district or
centra! city.
i "Snnip iif thp Infirt I'filjtl! lwinstn rp-
port sales for the past five and one-
half months in excess of the same per
iod or lilul, although that year Is said
to have been the best In the history of
Seranton, This is attributed to several
cause!-, the most potent one being,
probably, the practical discontinuance
of a number of outlying stores and the
reduction of stocks in others to a point
where the trade could not lie readily
supplied, and it therefore found Its way
to the central city.
"Notwithstanding these favorable
conditions merchants generally are
glad or the good prospects of the end
ing of the present strike, ami should
work be resumed promptly It Is more
than likely that the volume of busi
ness for the next few months will sur
pass even that of 1801."
Said C. S. Seamans, secretary of -the
board of trade:
"In common with the rest of man
kind, r rejoice In the settlement of the
coal strike. It has been severe, to be
sure, but out of It all I believe good
will come to our city and her people.
It has demonstrated as nothing else
could have done, the fact that we are
no longer entirely dependent upon the
mining of coal. Prosperity Is still with
us, and we aie Justly entitled to a
goodly share of It,
X13FD MO lit-: INDPSTIUKS.
"What we want is more Industries.
They are coming our way as surely as
the sunrise. A little encouragement Is
needed, and I feel sure that our people
will work together with a determination
to make the city's success more pro
nounced In the future than In the past,
It is simply a case of perpetual push
und keeping at It that wins,"
Samuel Samter, one of the city's lead
ing merchants, was decidedly optimistic
In ills views. Said he:
"lletailers should now do a big busi
ness. There Is now at hand the period
of the year when domestic supplies are
In the greatest demand. People live In
doors more In the winter than the sum
mer. With it buying season on, the
country generally piosperoiis, the end
ing or Ihe strike and the sudden float
ing of a big iiinottnt of new money that
will come with the recin'rence of the
miners' pay days, there ought to be a
volume of business this winter unprece
dented In the history of the city.
".Merchants who have allowed their
stocks' to become depleted can now with
confidence begin to replenish them.
Those or us who kept stocked up during
the strike experienced little of the in
consequences that came to others.
Iluyers who had been dealing with sub
urban stores which practically shut up
shop, or city stores which failed to
keep slocked up, came to the stores
which did keep stocked up. Seranton
merchants, for the most part, continued
to do business during the strike Just as
If there was no strike, ami as n conse
quence the commercial agencies report
a business In the central city quite ns
big as any preceding year. It is my
firm opinion that Seranton business
men will soon be able to forget the
strained conditions through which wo
have Just passed,"
I.AUOU hlCADKIt'S COMMENTS.
Hugh Frayne, state president of the
American Federation of Labor, dealt
as follows Willi the possibilities of the
future effect of the arbitral ending of
the coal strike:
"To my mind the ending of the coal
strike marks an epoch In strike his
tory. The fact that the greatest indus
trial conflict l the world's history can
be as It almost surely will be con
cluded by arbitration, is an unanswer
able argument In favor of the claim of
trades unionists that arbitration Is a
practical and effective method of ad
justing differences between employer
and employed. This community, 1 be
lieve, will not be troubled soon again
by a strike of any moment. The
miners' strike has bail a strong ten
dency to make organised capital and
organized labor more respectful of cat.ii
other's powers. The attempt of capi
tal to completely Ignore organized la
bor, as Instanced In the operators' con
duct, and their having to recede from
their oft reiterated position. Is an as
surance "that such a thing Is not likely
to occur again.
"Only one strike Is now on in these,
parts. That Is the long-drawn-out
strike of the Brotherhod or Carpenters
and Joiners. I am hopeful that the
adoption of arbitration as n means of
settling the miners' strike will have Its
effect in bringing about a settlement
of the carpenters' strike by similar
means. As one who is In close touch
with labor unionism, 1 will give It as
my firm opinion that with fair arbitra
tion recognized by the employer ns a
medium of settlement In all disputes
between employer and employe, we will
uol be called upon ngnln to witness
another national- calamity, such as is
now happily drawing to an end."

"King Dodo" still further demonstrated
his great popularity and drawing powers
