Del., as umpire of the Anthracite Lon filiation Board. The decision sustains tlie grievance of the stable bosses, engineers and tire bosses of the Pancoast-Pnce C oal l om ranv. of Throop, Lackawanna county, wrho got a five and a half per cent wage advance in 1912 when the miners received ten per cent, under the ion tract which went into effect that year. ,lu Ige Gray rules that the »S ree ' n embodied all employes in a " d ahout mines, although prior to 1912 many of the monthly hands had not been con side red subject to the 1902 a«rlrf the strike commission named b> inci dent Theodore Roosevelt. The company contended that the ■wages of these men had gone up through voluntary grants from si>o to S9O a month in the last 13 years but " Judge Grav rules that despite this they must be paid the 10 per cent, increase. This means back pay to the extent o. S3OO, to some of the workers. Electricians and their helpers, watch men and other monthly employes of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Coal Company, are given a ten per cer.t. advance in a second decision in which the umpire rules out the conten tion of the company that the award of 1902 applied only to tho*e not word ing on a monthly basis. The umpire cites frequent references to ••perma nent positions" in the award and resolu tions, 16.0 KM petitions and sixty edi torials sent to the Legislature urging the repeal and the statute in favor of a law putting the matter before the Public Service Commission to. deter mine how many crew men shall go on every freight and passenger train.

ARGUE AGAINST ELECTION BILLS BEFORE COMMITTEE The Senate Committee on Elections last night heard a delegation of Phila delphians, representing the Committee of Seventy, a Reform organization, in opposition to the election bills now on their way through the Senate. The chief opposition of Thomas R. White, the spokesmen, was to the bill which prohibits nominations from being made by nomination papers after the pri maries are held. Mr. White held that this bill is unjust inasmuch as it de prives the independent voter of an op portunity to put a candidate in the field. This, he maintained, was not lair and compelled the voter, if he wished to vote, to vote for a candidate he did not want to see elected by his party, or for the candidate of another party. Senators McNichol and Patton, of Philadelphia, held that it was not fair to a candidate nominated at the pri maries to put an independent candidate against -him. "The candidate makes a campaign," said Mr. Patton, "l)e spends his time and money; lie goes to much trouble to see the voters, and is nominated. After the primaries there is put up in oppo sition to him by disgruntled people a candidate who not only did not run as a candidate for the nomination, but spent no money, took no trouble to se cure support and I doubt very much if lie ever goes to the polls. This man makes the fight for the regularly nomi nated candidate all the harder, and in some instances defeats him. I hold that that is not fair, and this bill is designed to prevent it.'* Walter Wood opposed the bill and said that if it were known by the po litical leaders that unless they named good men there was a likelihood of be ing opposition candidates put up by nomination papers, the chances were that good men would be named, but this bill would prevent that. The com mittee took no action.

GIVES RAM BO MORE LEEWAY Bill Introduced By Swartz Permits Purchases in Open Market Representative Swartz, of Harris burg, introduced into the House yes terday a bill amending the present public buildings and grounds act, by request of Samuel B. Rani bo, State (Superintendent of Public Grounds and Buildings.
