JUDGE CRAY DECIDES WAGE
DISPUTE IN FAVOR OF MEN
Employee in About Anthracite
Entitled to Advance of Ten
Tn Cent., Dating Prom Amended
Agreement in Effect in 1912
By Press,
Hazleton, Pa., March 31. — That
electricians, electricians' helpers,
watchmen. fire bosses, stable bosses, en
gineers and other monthly men in and
about the anthracite mines are en
titled to a wage advance of ten per
cent, dating from the amended agree
ment in effect between the operators
■nd their employes since 191- was de
cided to-dav by former tinted states
Judge George Gray, of Wilmington.
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 <le
crees that the same conditions apply to
the D. L. aud W. men as those at the
Pancoast operation.
Many of the men benefitted by the
decisions were not identified with the
mine workers in 1902 and are not now
affiliated with the union.

representation In Full
Crew Fight
MANY TRAINMEN
AT THE HEARING
Scarlet Declares It Is Tar More Im
portant to Put $3,000,000 • Year
Into Pockets of Wage Earners Than
Into Railroads' Coffers
The railroad trainmen's side of the
full crew repealer was fully set forth
yesterday afternoon at the hearing
before the House Committee on Rail
roads, aud at the close of the hearing,
after a four-hour session, the trainmen
had, through attorneys and members
of their organizations, presented force
fully the reason why in their opinion,
the full crew bill not- be re
pealed. The show of strength made
was the largest seen here at a hearing
in a number of years.
James Scarlet and Johu C. Bell, as
attorneys, and William G. Lee, of
Cleveland, president of the Interna
tional Association of Railroad Train
men; S. L. Johns, a Hanover business
man. and Alexander P. Moore, pub
lisher of the Pittsburgh "Leader,"
were the speakers.
After the hearing Henry I. Wilson,
of Jeffersoft county, chairmau of the
Railroad Committee of the House, an
nounced that the bill would be report
ed out of committee early next week.
About fifteen hundred railroad
trainmen were present at the hearing.
What Mr. Scarlet and Mr. Bell, as
counsel, failed to bring out on the sub
ject, Mr. Lee, representing 135.000
of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men. with the direct endorsement of
40,00-0 railroad men in Pennsylvania,
hammered home forcefully.
8011, Lee and Scarlet were roundly
applauded by the hundreds of railroad
trainmen and their cohorts who had
paraded to the Capitol headed by a well
organized uniformed band of railroad
trainmen musicians of Harrisburg.
Charges Roads With Misrepresentation
Former Attorney Bell, who framed
the bill which is the law that tweuity
one of the railroad companies of this
State and New Jersey desire to have
repealed in order to save what the
railroads claims amounts to two mil
lions of dollars a year iu Pennsylva
nia, was the first to address the crowd
in the House of Representatives. Aft
er describing how the railroad com
panies obtained their desired five per
cent, freight rate increase and other
legislation favorable to them, he then
pictured them in the attitude of stuf
fing two million of dollars in their
pockets by taking off by a repealer
the "load man' of the full crew.
Mr. Bell vehemently declared that
two-thirds of the railroad companies'
propoganda, circulated by the news
papers and otlter agencies, was mis
leading.
Mr. Bell urged eternal watchfulness
as the price of safety and humanity,
above property rights, and pleaded
for the railroad companies to square
this latter promise.
"While we have been talking here
this afternoon twenty-five men or
women have been killed by the rail
roads of the country," saicf the form
er Attorney General, looking toward
the right side of the House of Repre
sentatives where about fifty of the
leading railroad officials and their sons
and representatives had seats.
Mr. Scarlet, upon opening his ad
dress, declared earnestly that the issue
of the repeal of the full erew law was
one of the most serious that the State
and country has to deal with. Mr.
Scarlet won State and national fame
as the Commonwealth's attorney in
the Capitol graft trials several years
ago and when he told his hearers yes
terday that he weighed the full crew
question purely from the evidence
and that he found that the reasons
for the repeal of the ful crew law
amounted to nothing more than hear
say as far as the railroad's presenta
tion of the case was concerned. He
sarcastically referred to 14t> 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.
Scarlet Pleads For "Kiddies"
"We trusted the railroad companies
before there was a law on this subject
to put on the extra man and they
failed to put him there and we're go
ing to let this law stand as it is."
Mr. Scarlet referring to the two
millions of dollars that the railroads
assert_ they would save each year by

Alexander P. Moore, editor of the

against the repeal of the full crew law
from the stamlpoint of a traveler on
the railroads, gave a brief address in
which he won several outbursts of ap

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.
CHILD LABOR BILL REPORTED

and 51 per week. The continuation
school proviso also is retained in the
bill but manufacturers cannot be fined

WILD HONEYSUCKLE ENTERED

Adding the wild honeysuckle to the
list of suggestions for the official State

Philadelphia, offered a bill to make
the myrtle the State flower.

is true, not yet received any mortal
wound, but the greatest danger is
threatening it from our submarines
As soon as we have succeeded in ex

FIGHT TO AVOID MINE GULP
Many Big Interests in Shenandoah
Best on Coal Pillars
Pottsville, Pa., March 31.—Seven
lawyers and mining engineers from
many different parts of the State took
part in a case heard before Judge
Brumm yesterday, called to prevent tike
colliery company from removing a num
ber of pillars in the main mouth vein,
which may have the effect of dropping
a million dollars' worth of Shenandoah
real estate into the bowels of the
earth.
The Home Brewing Company, whose
brewery would be affected, is pushing
the suit; but other property owners are
interested, and special counsel for
Bishop Prendergast, with, attorneys for
the plaintiffs, as Catholic churches may
be affected by the mining.
An injunction has been held over
the coal company for 15 years, pre
venting the removal of the pillars; Dut
as there is $500,000 in coal locked up
in these barriers, a dissolving of the
injunction is sought.
Owing to raising of technical points
by counsel for the brewery, an ad
journment was necessary until Judge
Brumm can examine the 15-year-old
record of th© case.

HASSLER WAIVES A HEARING
My erst own Trust Company Official Still
Insists He Did Not Profit
by the Shortage
Lebanon, Pa., March 31.—Amos
Hassler, treasurer of the Myerstowa
Trust Company, who on Saturday last
confessed to a $8,370 shortage lu his l
accounts, yesterday retained City So
licitor Walter C. I!raeff as counsel and
r.otice was given tliat a hearing before
Alderman O. B. Siegrist, of this city,
would be waived.
lu view of Hassler's admissions us
to falsification of the bank's acounts,
it is expected he will not wait until the
regular June criminal sessions for a
disposition of his case, but take ad
vantage of the State law which permits
of an accused entering a plea of guilty
at auy time.
Hassler lias refused to see all callers,
except his attorney and H. F. Kohl,
representing the American Surety Com
pany, of New York, which bonded him
for $15,000 as treasurer. To 'both call
ers Hassler is declared to have persist
ed in the original statement, that ho
did not take a penny of the missing
funds of the bank. He insists that he
had continued to make false entries in
the books for the sole purpose of hid
ing the growing defaults during a pe
riod of several years.
When informed that his explanation
of the shortage was not accepted as
