FIGURES FOR
COMMISSION
MINE WORKERS' OFFICIALS ARE
PREPARING THEM.
Tabulated Statements of Wages Pre
pared by tho Big Companies Have
Been Received by tho Mine Woi-k-ers
and Aro Being Compared with
tho Schedules Prepared by tho
Miners Conference Next Week
Concerning Manner in Which Com
panies Will Present Their Case.
President John Mitchell, or the United
Mine Workers: District Presidents
NIcholls, Fnhy and Duffy nnd some of
the other more prominent loaders ot
tho organization spent nearly nil day
yesterday and a considerable portion of
last night In conference at the Hotel
.Terniyn with Attorney Clarence S. Dar
row and Xelson Lloyd, their represen
tatives before the arbitration commis
sion, Mr. Darrow, when seen last night,
said that the tabulated scales of wages
prepared by several of tho big com
panies for submission before the com
mission have been received by tho mine
workers and are being carefully gone
over nnd compared with the slmllnr
schedules prepared by the latter.
Ho said that It has not yet been de
ckled who will be put on the stand
after the cross-examination of Rev.
Peter Roberts, by Attorney John T.
Lcnnhnn, Is concluded, but It Is gener
ally believed that District President
Nlcholls will be the man. His testi
mony will deal with the details regard
ing existing conditions in this district,
which is tho largest In the anthracite
Held. He will probably be followed on
the stand by District Presidents Fahy
and Duffy.
Alleged Discrimination.
It was learned yesterday that an im
portant point to be brought to the at
tention of the commission is the alleged
discrimination shown against a number
of men who have been refused employ
ment since operations were resumed.
District President Nloholls claims
that in this district alone there aro
about 2,000 men who were employed nt
various mines sinco before the strike,
began, but who have been unable to
get their places back since it ended.
He claims that these men have been
blacklisted because tlioy were aggres
sive unionists.
The company oflleinls. on the other
hand, contend that the number of men
who have been refused work is not as
large as' the miners claim it is, and as
sort that the reason for not giving em
ployment to those who have been re
fused is that they were actively en
gaged in either open lawlessness, in
timidation or boycotting during the
progress of the strike.
The operators and their attorneys will
hold a meeting In this city Wednesday
or Thursday, at which they will decide
upon tho manner hi which their case
will be presented.
An Utter Falsehood.
In the New York American yester
day one of tho attorneys for the min
ers is quoted as having said, relative to
tho calling off of tho peace negotia
tions that C. D. Simpson, of this city,
had a" conference with President Baer
"and that Mr. Uaer then went before
the presidents of the coal roads and
told them some Interesting news. They
were ready to act as he wanted them to
after they received this news. Further
more, Mr. Watklns himself was in New
York at the same time. There will be
some startling developments when the
truth behind the move is brought out
before the Strike commission, and we
are determined that this shall be done."
Mr. Simpson yesterday said the
story was an utter falsehood and that
Mr. Watklns was not In New York at
the time he was as stated by the man
who allowed himself to be Interviewed.
The settlement of the matter in dispute
outside of the commission had to be
abandoned, ho said, because tho inde
pendent operators were determined that
justice should be done them.
Proceedings in Book Form.
Recognizing the widespread interest
taken all over the country in tho tes
timony and argument 'before the An
thracite Strike Commission, Tho Trib
une will print In convenient book form
tho reports appearing in Its columns
from day to day, and will offer a limit
ed edition of copies for sale at 11 each.
Tho volume will consist of several hun
dred pages, eight by eleven inches, and
will appear as soon as the commission
ers render their decision. The dally
reports In The Tribune miss nothing of
essential Interest nnd are the fullest
a..d most accurate reports printed In
any newspaper. Orders should bo sent
to Tho Tribune now as tho edition Is
liable to be exhausted.
EACH ACCUSED THE OTHER.
Magistrate Millar Couldn't Hold
Gerrlty for Court.
When Joseph Gerrlty, of Third street,
was arraigned before Magistrate Millar
In police court yesterday morning on
tho charge of throwing a lighted lamp
at Ills wife on Thursday night and set
ting lire to his house, ho plended not
guilty.
"My wtfo threw the lamp, your hon
or," ho said, "and not me. We had a
(Ight and she said she'd give It to mo
good, and sho came near doing it."
"That's a. lie, your honor," said Mrs.
Gently, who was present. "Ho throw
tho lamp at mo and ho knows ho did.
He beut me badly and ho'rt ought to
bo sent up."
Gerrlty started to reply, but the mag
istrate restrained him and imposed a
due of $10, the evidence on the other
charge not being Biifllcient to warrant
holding the prisoner for court.

GOOD WRESTLING PROMISED.
D. A. McMillan and Prof. Dwyer to
Meet Here Soon.
D. A. McMillan, of Wllwaukee, Wis.,
a wrestler of some prominence In the
west, who claims to have thrown both
Tom Jenkins and D. S. McLeod, Is in
the city and yesterday Interested Pres
ident B. P. Connolly, of the Scranton
Bicycle club in an effort which he has
been making to secure a match with
Prof. M. J. Dwyer, who is so well
known in this city.
Upon President Connolly agreeing to
accord the use of the clubhouse for the
match, a challenge was sent to Dwyer,
at New Haven, by telegraph. In this
challenge, McMillan agreed to throw
Dwyer three times in an hour for a
side bet of $100 and the gate receipts.
An acceptance was received last night
from Dwyer with the announcement
that his forfeit would be sent at once
by molt.
The match will be pulled oft within a
week or two probably, on Tuesday
night, December !).
McMillan Is a heavy man, weighing
about 195 pounds, and says that a few
days training will put him In fine form.
He says that he never has wrestled
Dwyer. He had a handicap match ar
ranged with him once but It fell
through.
COUNCILS HAVE NO POWER.
Can't Reduce Sewer Assessment or
Order New One Made.
The sewers and drains committee of
common council was to have met last
night to consider the grievances of cer
tain property owners living on Alder
street, who object to the alleged ex
cesslveness of a sower assessment made
against them, but no quorum was pres
ent. Tho members In attendance waited
upon City Solicitor Watson after ad
journment was taken and were Inform
ed by him that councils have no au
thority to reduce the assessment or
order a new ono made. This power
rests with court nlone, he said, and the
only thing the objecting property own-
' era can now do is to petition court for
a new assessment. Their objections,
Hie said, should have been filed before
tho report of the viewers who made tho
assessment was confirmed by court.
The Children's Favorite.
One of the greatest dlfllcultles on
countered when children nro ill, Is tho
objection they havo to taking medicine,
Tho remedy must bo pleasant or tho
patience of the parent Is exhausted be
fore It Is successfully administered.
Mr. G. G, Wagner, of Spring Grove,
Pa,, overcomes this nnnoyanco by us
ing Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Ho
says his little boy always asks for t
whenever he catches cold. This rem
edy has become tho children's-favorite,
as It Is pleasant to tako and It always
cures and cures quickly. For sale by
all druggists.

Lesson'
THIS MORNING TO
Conservatory Students,
POUR MORE LISTS.
Five Additional Entries in Tho
Tribune's Junior Education
al Contest.
Several nddltlonnl lists of words have
been received from contestants in The
Tribune's Junior Kducatlonnl Contest
since Thursday morning. These nro the
names of tho authors of tho lists:
Ida Klbler, 024 Cedar avenue.
Daisy Felts, 737 Leo court.
William Chandler, 711 Linden street.
Philip H. Seamans, FactoryvIIle.
Gladys Reese, 3!) Washington street,
Carbondule.
There are throe more weeks left for
tho nlmblo wltted young people of
Northeastern Pennsylvania to try for
ono of the twenty cash presents offered
to those who make the largest number
of words out of the phrase "Tho Homo
Paoer."
There is plenty of opportunity left for
any of those who may decide to try nt
any time. The first cash present, $20 in
gold, is still unwon and It may bo that
some of those who wnlt until the con
test nears its close may have more cor
rect and longer lists of words than
some of those who hurried their work
at tlie beginning of the contest and
thereby overlooked some words that
aro admissible.
A great deal of questioning has
taken place whether contractions of
words sucli as "e'er" and "o'er," and
prefixes and sufllxes are admissible
under the rules. The best advice that
can be given on this subject is that it
any contestant Is in doubt about a word
or prefix they should tako a chance and
write the words in their list. Each list
will be read over carefully, the wrong
words will be erased and the correct
words will be counted carefully. Con
testants must not be surprised If somo
of the lists shrink while undergoing
this process, for errors may creep Into
tho most carefully prepared.
These Junior Educational Contests
afford a splendid opportunity for study
by the young people, teaching them tho
correct spelling and tho right meaning
of many words they have been ignor
ant of hitherto.
NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE
Mr. Beam's Patent.
Mathow M. Beam, of Old Forge, has
secured, through D. B. Replogle, of this
city, a patent on a non-rcflllablo bottle.
The device is an ingenious one and its
effectiveness Is absolute.
For years there has been a demand
for a bottle that is non-retlllable, and
in this invention it would seem that
Sir. Beam has struck a responsive
chord. It will bo a boon to distillers
and manufacturers who havo boon
greatly annoyed by irresponsible par
ties refilling their bottles with goods
of an inferior grade.
