"GOLD BRICK" FOR MINERS Company Store Law Said to Contain a Flaw. Hearing Postponed in Order to Hide the Legislature's Treachery to the Mine Workers. The Dauphin county court decidod yesterday to postpono the argument In the store order tax cases, which had been fixed for today, and which was intended to test the constitutionality of the law taxing store orders 25 per cent of their face value. Counsel for the merchants of the coal region and the miners' labor organizations, were pre sent. These are J. P. O'Brien, of Scran ton; John M. Carr, of Freeland, and William Wilhelm, of Pottsville. Commenting on the above, the Harris burg correspondent of the North Ameri can says today: "The miners, It is believed, have very little reason to depend on this law, the purpose of which is to tax the robber company stores out of existence. It was reluctantly enacted by the Gang's legislature when the miners threatened to send an invading army to the capital if their measures did not receive con sideration. "A 'joker' inserted in the bill by the Gang before it was passed is said to be counted upon by the coal corporations, which conduct the company stores, as having rendered it unconstitutional. The machine does not want the cheat fully revealed, however, until after the mine workers have cast their ballots. "Congressman Oluistead, Quayite, of Ilarrisburg, who appeared before the senate mines and mining committee in opposition to the measure, lias instituted the proceedings in the Dauphin court to test its constitutionality. "As a matter of fact, the Gang is not anxious for a decision before election day, as it probably would have a bear ing on the voto in the mine regions." IMitliidelithlii'x l inlwr Sionitlon.

If the contractors agree In ad vance, tho council will urge each of the unions affiliated with It to adopt a scale of wages on Jan. 1 of each year, to lie effective 011 the succeeding May 1. Advocates of the Idea assert that tills would give contractors live months' no tice und ample time in which to make estimates for the entire year, with pos itive knowledge of what the wages in voked would aggregate. Heretofore the uncertainty of what wages would be demanded has hampered those with work In sight during the first few months of each year, when 11 great many contracts for the summer arc usually placed In contractors' hands for consideration. The contractors who •have been seen oil the subject by mem bers of the council have signified their approbation of such a system. I.u.v Favors I.nhor.
