WAS SGOTT
COUNTED OUT
Candidate for the Senate
Makes Allegations.
Believes Underhand Work
Was Done in Lackawanna
Portion of District—Offi
cial Result of the Voting.
Senator William J. Scott, who was
beaten for a renomlnatlon by William
Drury, of Plttston, Is out this morning
with a statement which throws discredit
on the result of the recent trial of the
Crawford county systmu of making
nominations. He will probably make
charges which will not be relished by
some of the politicians of tho county.
He says that If he has not boon counted
out he believes some underhand work
has been done and will not let the
matter rest until he has made an In
vestigation.
The returns from that portion of the
senatorial district which Is In Lacka
wanna county showed the vote to be
Drury, 712; Hay, 18; Scott, 11. The
senator and his friends say this Is a pre
posterous vote and that the work of the
Quay nion Is responsiblo for it. While
tho senator did not eipoct to carry the
district, he has fully a hundred friends
there of whose votes he was sure, and
the fact that ho only got eleven, ho and
his friends claim Is evidence that the
quay men overreached themselves.
The small vote at once aroused sus
picion of unfair dealing. If it had been
seventy-five or 100 he would not have
made any objection, but as It Is he will
make Inquiries.
There is also suspicion that the vole
In Luzerne borough was tampered with
and there are a few other districts
which it Is believed will bear inquiry.

TROUBLE BREWING.
Jersey Central Employes Threaten to Tie
Up the Whole System.
Conditions have developed among tho
employes of the Central Railroad of
New Jersey which, it is said, threaten a
striko on the entire system. The rail
way brotherhoods have polled the em
ployes from Jersey City to Scran ton,
and it is said nearly all the men favor
a general tio-up of the lines.
The federated brothorhoods held a
largely attended meeting and a member
of the general grievance committee said
it would not be over two weeks before
the entire system would be tied up.
He says there are many grievances,
among them being the reduction of
crews on coal and freight trains. The
crews formerly consisted of a conductor,
head and middle hrakomen and flagman.
By a recent order the middle brake
man is dispensed with, and while not
discharged, only three men are allowed
to a crew, the time being divided among
the brakomen so that each gets but
three-quarters of the running time.

MINERS TO HOLD
BIG MEETING
Anthracite Workers of the
State to Confer.
Representatives from Wyo
ming, Lehigh and Schuyl
kill Regions Will Come
Together on July 30.
A genoral meeting of the representa
tives of mine workers' unions in the an
thracite coal fields will be held at Hazle
ton on Monday, the 30th Inst.
It will bo a conference of representa
tives from every city, town and hamlet
In the Wyoming, Lehigh and Schuylkill
regions, and will bo the first of Its kind
held for several years past.
This action was decided upon yester
day afternoon by the officers of Anthra
cite District, No. 1, United Mine
Workers of America, and it has the ap
proval of the national executive board
of the organization.
The main questions to be discussed at
the coming conference are the reduction
of the price of powder from $2.75 to $1
per keg, establishing of semi-monthly
pay days, remodying of dockage, arbi
tration of grievances with operators to
prevent strikes, and recognition of the
union by operators.
"Does this mean a general strike?*'
was asked one of the prominent officials
at Pittston yestorday.
"Anything but that,'' he replied.
"We dread a strike as much as the op
erators; the union does not countenance
them, except as a last resort. The con
dition is merely this-, that the mine
workers are well enough organized now
to be a power such as the union of soft
coal miners in Western Pennsylvania,
Ohio and West Virginia possesses.
"Out there they have obtained by the
strength of their organization a uniform
scale of wages, fair dockage and rec
ognition as a union by the oporators.
Hero we feel that it is time to try for the
same things, and a lower price for
powder as well. Our success lies in
concerted action, and we think we can
accomplish this."
It is certain that the coming conven
tion will make history for the workers
and operators of the anthracite field.*
