Predictions of a Statement From the Operators and a Call for a Convention of Anthracite Strikers. The seventeenth week of the coal 9trlke began this morning, and unions some unforsnen event occurs to alter the program It promises to be one of the mo9t eventful since May 12. The week Is expected to bring forth from the operators a statement embodying concessions to the strikers and from John Mitchell and the district presi dents a call for a convention of the United Mine Workers of the anthracite region. The settlement plans have now pro ceeded 80 far that the two Important moves briefly outlined above are roady to be made, and those who have been Instrumental In harmonizing the differ ences between the operators and the strikers, as well as some of those who are dlrectlv affected by the plans, give the Tribune their assurance that the week will not end without seeing these things come to pass. What the concessions will amount to and how they are to be presented to the mine workers Is not known to us, never theless we aro assured that they will be satisfactory to the leaders of the strikers and will bo approved by the miners' convention, which will be held, probably at Wllkesbarre, a9 soon as possible after the operators are heard from. In presenting this matter to our read ers at this time the publishers of the Tribune fully realize that they are giv ing publicity to statements which mean much to many people. If the publishers for a moment doubted the reliability of the statements here given, thoy would not permit them to appear in these columns. No false hopes of a satisfac tory adjustment of the trouble would be held out to the strikers, nor would any" thing be published that would have a tendency to unduly prolong the conflict, but the business of this paper is to give the news and the Trlbnne would be delinquent in Its duty were It to sup press news of this character, especially when the sources of information aro considered reliable and authentic. The Tribune's informants on the subject of strike settlement are men whoso word is as good as a government bond, and, knowing no reason why they would at tempt to impose upon the paper or its readers, we accept their Information in good faith and in turn presont It In the same manner In those columns. GOVERNOR TO MEET ALLIANCE. Govornor Stone has fixed next Thurs day to meet a committee appointed by the People's Alliance at Hazleton to discuss the best means of ending the anthracite coal strike. The governor said he would be glad to meet anybody who might want to see him on matters pertaining to the strike. lie also said that he had nothing to add to his state ment to the committee from the state legislative board of Railway Employes of Pennsylvania that he would call an extra session of the legislature If he was confident an arbitration law could be passed that would end this strike and prevent others in the future. iiazleton city councils have adopted a resolution asking for an extra session. A similar resolution will bo presented this evening for adoption at the meet ing of Freeland borough council. Other towns wiil be asked to do likewise. Foster School Board. The regular meeting of Foster town ship school board was held Saturday evening with Messrs. Ziestloft, Dudley, Johnson and O'Neil present. In the absence of President Weber Mr. O'Neil presided. The hour at which schools are to open was left to the discretion of teach ers, but the members thought It should conform to the time of the collierios. Principal Hoffman reported the at tendance 98V at the opening of school, but at present there may be 1,050 In the schools. The teacher at Sandy Run requested permission to teach algebra. The board decided that the high school was established for pupils capable of taking the higher studies and refused the request. In view of the trouble experienced by the hoard .iu collecting tuition fees it was decided that all pupils residing out side the district desirous of aituuding school would first have to secure a per mit from the board and aoy teacher ac- MINE INSPECTOR.

Roderick, of Wllkesbarre, was appointed by the court to sferve as mine Inspector of this, tho Fifth anthracite district, for five years, to succeed William H. Davies, of Hazleton, who resigned on May 1. The action of the court created much surprise at the county seat, as the suc cessful candidate 19 extremely distaste ful to tho mine workers of the district for which he was appolntod. cepting pupils without a permit will be held responsible for the tuitiou fee. Prof. Higharus was present and asked for an increase of $5 in his salary. A motion prevailed which gives him 663 instead of 660. The order which was given to the secretary for Investigation was reported as outstanding and it was decided to is sue a new order for 68 to H. C. Koons on its account. The board discussed the damage done buildings by some young men and boys and agreed that if arrests are made to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law parlies guilty of this offense.

Treasurer—John Williamson, Wllkes barre. Register—John Malnwarlng, Ply mouth. Commissioners—Thomas Smith, Wll kesbarre; John Jones, Pittston. Palmer and Williamson had no opposi tion.

Goedecke, of But ler township, whose will has been filed, leaves his home to his wife, Hannah Goedecke, for her use during life and after her death It Is to devolve on his daughter, Gertrude T. Goedecke. Tho residue of his real and personal property he loaves to his sons, Arthur P. Goed ecke and Ellis P. Goedecke, In trust to pay tho annual income to his wife, Hannah, for life. At her death the property is to bo divided equally among his four children. The real estate is valued at 65,000 and the personal prop erty at 61,000. The will of the late James Wilson bequeathes tho house In which he lived to his son, Harry, also a sufficient amount of Insurance money to defray the funeral expenses, the remainder to be paid to his son, John.

J. MeMenamin manager of the Grand opera house for the season of 1902 03. This action wa9 due to the failure of U. G. Hill, to whom the house was leased last summer, to fulfill his part of the contract. The new manager has had charge of the building for tho Freeland Opera House Company for the past three years, and 19 therefore no stranger to the duties of the position. Although handicapped greatly by taking control so late in the season, after a majority of the theatrical com panies have completed their bookings, Mr. McMeuamin's experience will prove valuable to the society in procuring plays for the house. For the present, on account of the coal strike, very few shows will be brought to town. PLEASURE. September 9. —Military ball under the auspices of Loyal Castle, No. 65, A. O. K. of M. C., at Krell's hall. Admission, 50 ceots. COMMUNICATED. Freeland, Pa., September 5. Editor Tribune.—ln your ls9ue of the 3d Inst., we noticed an article presumably penned by one Joseph S. Uhlar, of Upper Lehigh, In which that learned gentleman takes umbrage at the action of Supreme President Ambrose, of the National Slavonic Society, for protest ing against the admission of a certain Hungarian flag to this country free of duty. Now, In reference to this article we will say that we are very firmly con vinced that Mr. Uhlar Is not sufficiently Informed in matters pertaining to his native land, to Intelligently discuss this question, this conclusion being forced upon us by a perusal of bis article. The gentloman asserts that the protest against the admission of the flag was unnecessary, and enters Into a lengthy harangue In Biipport of this assertion, but he actually proves nothiug. The facts of the matter are that In answer to Mr. Ambrose's protest against the admission of this flag to this country, free of duty, the secretary of the United States treasury replied that the admis sion of the flag free of duty had been denied, and this would lead us to infer that It certainly must have been de manded or it could not have been denied. YYe are then tempted to ask who is Mr. Uhlar? Who Is this man who sets him self upon a pedestal and decides whether Mr. Ambrose's action was necessary or not? The action of Mr. Ambrose met with the almost universal support and com mendation of all the leading Slavonians aud many of the prominent Magyars, Including their most influential periodi cals, as well, and certainly appears to be meritorious. We do not think It would be hard to find many American citizens, natives of other lauds, viz: "Irish or German" particularly referred to by the gentle man who would vigorously protest against the admission, free of duty, of the English or the German flag, bearlug an Inscription such as this flag bears and being sent here by the government Itself, as is the case here. We fall to see wherein the action of Mr. Ambrose would indicate tb&t he desired "to get vengeance ou his moth erland"or wherein he "practiced deceit," but, on the contrary, we feel that he but did his duly as a good, loyal, Americau citizen, and to prove that we are not alone In this opinion we quote from the columns of Nepszava, a leadlug Magyar publication of New York city, and the official organ of the committte ap pointed to receive the flag, which said: "Under ordinary circumstances we would with devotion, honoraud welcome the flag. But, when it comes to us with a coutr&ct attached, which would bind us here In a strange land to further the interests of our motherland, and really Invites us to become traitors to the stars and stripes, then we must rofuse, with disgust, to accept it, as offered." In conclusion we would state that we do not question the fact that Mr. Uhlar is a good, patriotic Magyar, but we have reason to doubt whether be is now, or ever will become a good faithful Ameri can citizen. As to his pretty allegory about Svatupluk and Arpad, we have only to say that this proves conclusively that the gentleman has never studied the history of his native land, and we would advise him, before he further betrays his Ignorance, to secure copy and at least peruse it.
