changed to O'Donnell and he was de
clared elected.
Director Keller moved to fix the salary
of the solicitor at §3O per year. Director

and carried.

Rumors of Concession "by
D. & H. Company.
Big Corporation Is Said to
Be Ready to Reduce the
Price to 51.50 a Keg and
Others May Follow.
There is hopo that tho great strike
which overshadows tho anthracite coal
field may be averted. This hope is
based on a rumor, which is alloat in tho
upper end today, that tho Delaware and
Hudson Coal Company will post notices
tomorrow morning at all its collieries
announcing a reduction in the price of
power from #2.75 to 81.50 a keg.
Tho price of powder Is ono of the
grievances of the United Mine Workers,
and should tho rumor prove true that
the 1). & H. will roduco tho prico It is
believed that its action will be quickly
followed by all other corporations and
operators in the coal region.
GRIEVANCES PRESENTED.
A list of the grievances of the United
Mine Workers and copies of the scale
committee's report which was adopted
at last weok's convention have been
sent to the operators. There are doubts
as to whether the operators will grant
the demands of the men or even recog
nize the mine workers and it scouts
probable that the national executive
board which will meet at Indianapolis
on Thursday will order a striko. How
many men will go out if a strike is de
clared remains to bo seen.
