The first meeting of the Board of Con ciliation which Is to adjust the differ ences between the mine workers and the operators will be held in Wllkes barro today. The preliminary organiza tion is to be effected, the arrangements made for holding further meetings and the seventh man or umpire may be selected. Rules will also be drawn up to govern the work of the board. It is understood that at the outset there will be a conflict of opinion. Messrs. Luther, Warrlner and Connell are understood to deem It best for the board to confine Its work to the adjust ment of the questions of greatest impor tance only and to desire that all others be settled directly at the collieries by the mine workers and the collieries' officials. The mine workers' representatives, Messrs. Dettrey, Nichols and Fahey FREELAND, PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, 1903. oppose this, believing that there are many questions of details which cannot be properly settled at the collieries and which should be adjusted by the board. The conciliators adjourned at 3 o'clock this afternoon, but refused to divulge any of the business transacted at the meeting. Board of Trade Meeting. The weekly meeting of the Hoard of Trade was held last evening with Vice President Edward Murphy in the chair. The reports of the several committees wore encouraging, especially those hav ing to do with new Industries, railroads and trolleys. The work of the Industrial committee is progressing encouragingly, but is ! somewhat hampered by the committee not yet being able to assure as good railroad facilities as are desired by cer tain manufacturers who are willing to consider Freeland as a site for their plants. The railroad committee is working upon plans which are confidently ex pected to mature successfully and which will make the town a better railroad centre than ever In its history. The report of the trolley committee contained the information already an nounced, viz., that an ordinance enabl ing the Lehigh Traction Company to its tracks to Front street will be presented to council at the meeting of tfye borough legislators next Monday evening. A Position in South America. Daniel J. McTighe, formerly foreman of tho Tribune office, has completed his course of study at St. Louis college, New Westminister, British Columbia, and has accepted a position as profes sor of English in the College of Don Bosco, located at Iquique, Chile, South America. Mr. McTighe is one of the many bright yonng men whom Freeland has sent out into the world, and his success will be pleasing news to his friends. Three of the past six years were spent as a pupil at Ottawa university, Ottawa, Canada, and the remaining three at St. Louis college, New Westminister. The faculty of tho latter institution accord him the distinction of ranking first in every study pursued and predict for him a high mark in literary work. Mr. McTighe is thoroughly conver sant with Spanish, the language of Chile. He Is already on his way to Iquique, and will arrive there next i month. The Formal Opening. The board of directors of the Mining and Mechanical Institute will formally open the new building on South Centre street at 3 o'clock on Thursday after noon, Juno 4.

ROUND THE REGION Plans for the transference of the Le high Valley Railroad traffic, between Wllkesbarre and Scranton, from the Delaware and Hudson Railroad to the Laurel line, the new Cannon Ball trol ley, It is said, are under way.

Many mine workers are in favor of erecting the proposed monument to the Lattluier martyrs in Courthouse square at Wllkesbarre. They conteifd that Lattluier is au out-of-way town and that the monument there would not have the effect that they wish it to have. President Baor, of the Reading Com pany, arrived in Wllkesbarre yesterday to Inspect the collieries of the Lehigh and Wllkesbarre Company, but was dis appointed to find nearly all of them shut down owing to the visit of a circus. The breaker boys almost without excep tion failed to report for work. The contract for the construction of the new Methodist Episcopal church, of Pottsville, was awarded today.

Carmel Trolley Company were noti fied yesterday by tho company that the men's demand for a 10 per cent increase had boon granted. Four hundred and twenty-five for eigners were naturalized at Wilkesbarre on Monday. This Is the largest number ever branded as citizens in Luzerne county in one day. Big Demand for Coal. From Today's North American. Consumers are absorbing anthracite coal as fast as it can be mined. Pres ent indications are that the railroad coal companies will succeed In stocking very little coal between now and winter. The production of anthracite aggre gates about 5,000,000 tons a month now, which Is a normal, not a maximum, output. There Is unusual demand for domestic sizes, particularly from New England dealers, who aro complaining that they cannot fill their orders with the supply of coal they aro getting. There is some accumulation of pea and buckwheat coal, partly explained by the fact that there is no discount on steam sizes to tempt buying in adyance. On June 1 the discount allowed on pre pared coal will drop to 30 cents a ton and the retail price will be ad vanced 10 cents to $0 45 a ton. Appointments Confirmed.
