THE GRIEVANCE COMMITTEE.
1t Waited Upon the Hon. William
Connell Yesterday.

A committee Of miners from the Will
liam A cOlliery at Duryea waited upon
Hon. William Connel at his office in
this city yesterday and presented their
alleged grievances for his consideration.
The miners struck on Tuesday without
acquainting Mr.. Connell with the ma
ture of their grievances.
He told the committee that if certain
Of the grievances set forth by them We're
as stated he would promptly have them
remedied. Others he could not con-
slider because they constituted a radi-
cal change in the manner Of conducting
the colliery.
The committee was much pleased
with tho result of their interview and
stated that they would recommend at
the meeting Of the miners when they
present their report that the sugges-
tions given them by Mr.. Connell dur
ing the conference be adopted and
that they return to work.

There was no discussion on Mr..

some tart remarks and Mr.. Gibbons re-
sponded.
I'm voting no." said Mr.. Barker, IT
wish to go on record as saying that 1
consider this reduction of those teach
ers' salaries as a most despicable piece
of business ! can't understand how
the committee could do such a thing.
1t strikes me, it is a very cowardly
way of getting rid of a man. 1t is, tn
my mind and will be generally re-
garded, as equivalent to asking for his
resignation. l wish TO register my dis
approval of it,"
Mr.. Gibbons said in reply: II want
to say that I, for one, don't regard the
committees action as equivalent to
asking for Mr. Phillips resignation a
salary of $1,000 is enough for him. |
thought so when he was hired and
think so still. l have no personal ami
mostly for Mr.. Phillips and do not
know that the committee intended this
recommendation to be equivalent to
asking for his resignation. l, for one,
don't. But If it does mean his resig-

The appointment of the faculty of the
high and training school was made
last night. DR.. Phillips is reappoint-
ed. but suffers a reduction in salary
of $50 a month. Prof Loomis Is also
reappointed, but has his salary cut
from $3.50 to $3.50 per month. He also
is called upon to view the creation
of the office of vice-principal and the
appointment Of John L. Wagner to
the place. The salary of Miss Leah
Heath, teacher of elocution, is also cut,
the decrease being $40 a month.
In voting on the report Mr.. Barker
stated that the cutting of these teach
ers salaries was equivalent to asking
for their designations and he charact-
erized the act as Cowardly trick. The
report of the committee in full, as read
by Chairman Jayne was as follows:
Scranton, Pa, July H. 1899.
The high end training committee in
recommending teachers for appointment
at the high and training school, submit
the following report:
We have carefully considered the re-
port of Superintendent Howell and the
statements of the high school teachers
made TO your committee, copies of which
have been transcribed and placed in
your hands.
DR.. G. w. Phillips, though summoned
on two different occasions has failed to
appear before your committee and an
Swor the statement made by Superin-
tendent Howell and the teachers of the
high school in regard to the condition
of the school during the past year.
The statements made by Superintendent
Howell that DR.. Phillips has disregarded
. 4, -. .E,.I VfVa
tendent; that he has ignored resolutions
adopted by this board governing his man
agement of the high school, that there
is no uniformity in crediting pupils for
work done in the school, and that the
discipline of tie school is lax, much of
which has been confirmed by the evl-
dence of the teachers summoned before
the committee are before you without
any statement or denial from DR.. Phil
lips
NOT FULLY JUSTIFIED.
Your committee, after mature delibera-
tion, have decided that we are not fully
justified in asking for DR.. Phillips dis
missal, but in recommending his appoint
ment, do so with the distinct and posi-
| tive understanding that he is to be gov
erned by the lawful authority of the
superintendent and the resolutions of the
| board of control in his management of
| the high school.
Professor Loomis has appeared before
your committee and stated why he failed
| to take the examination prescribed by
| Superintendent Howell. We do not eX-
cuse Professor Loomis for this action,
but having stated to the committee that
| he will recognize the authority of the
superintendent We recommend his re-
| appointment. In recommending the in
| crease of salary for Professors Wagner,
| Schimpff Jordan, Miss Mason and Miss
| Nye, your committee desire TO recognize
| their earnest efficient work.
| In recommending reduction of salary
| for DIR. Phillips Professor Loomis and
| Miss Heath, your committee are of the
| opinion that these teachers have been
paid more than their work and positions
| warranted. We recommend the follow
ing appointments and salaries for the en-
| suing school wear.

FROM ALL SOURCES.

The money handled from all sources
was as follows: 1894, $iO5, ,622.S1; 1895,

4O1 .9S; 1898, $775,OOO.95. The increase is
shown by the following:
1895 over 1894, S5O,65492 or 12 1-2 per
cent.
1896 over 1894, Sl2O,3S2O1 or 20 Clio per

and / say that when he says the Muir

CAPTAIN MAY ON HIS FEET.
There was a breathess scene when
Captain May with ashen face and flash
ing eyes jumped to his feet to reply.
He paused for a moment as if to collect
himself and then in a voice that could
be called calm, considering the cir
cumstances and with measured and de-
liberate utterances said:
II made the statement that l was
peculiarly competent to judge in that
matter referred to and | will now tell
why l am competent. ] have no large
property interests here nor has the
company which l represent. For that
reason there was no personal bias or
business interest to control me-"
Here Captain Mays voice and man
ner changed and turning towards Mr..
Gibbons he proceeded in loud tones and
with violent gestures
II am the slave of no man. l do the
bidding of no man. l am free to act
as my judgment directs. l own no
coal mines, nor am / the brother, or
brother-in-law, or father-in-law or any
other relation of any man owning a
coal mine. l have no rei2tives to be
appointed teachers or jani,ors and /
have never secured work from the dis
trict for a carpenter or a painter or
anything Of that sort. I'll leave it to
the citizens assembled her if l am not
more competent to act impartially than
any man on this board. Why am
not in a betetr position to act impair
TALLY than this man (pointing to Mr.
Gibbons) l will leave 1t to his en-
| ployer, the man who owns him, whether
or not Murray has not furnished salts
| factory coal to Elm Park church"
GIBBONS ALSO MOVED.
Mr.. Gibbons was very evidently as
| greatly moved as Captain May, but
he made heroic efforts to conceal it.
II like this. l like TO stir up things
| once in a while, even if it is one of
the eleven Spanards Qaughter).
| have daughters who are employed by
| the school district. That is true. But
they are earning every cent they
get"
Captain May-"Who is putting in
| this coal bid we have here?"
Mr.. Gibbons-"My brother, and it is
an honest hid"
Then continuing IN somewhat warm
er tones Mr.. Gibbons said: II want
| you to understand that no man owns
me, and addressing Captain May) the
man you say owns me is too much of
a man to own any man. He never
indicates to me how 1 shall vote or act
and 1 have heard him say that the
| man who will coerce another man in
his vote or interfere with his religion
is not fit to be a man. Amy one who
will refer to my employer as Captain
| May did is a sneak and a coward. And
he refers TO my daughters being In
the employ of the board. He says he
has no daughters to make teachers
Of. 1t isn't my fault. Hell have tc
explain that"
Captain May offered nothing in re-
ply and the business Of the meeting
proceeded.
