No Danger of a Strike.

There is absolutely nothing in the
talk of a strike on the Lehigh Valley
road with which some of the papers
are filling their columns. The men
have some grievances, but there is
every prospect that they will be
amiCably settled.
Superintendent Alexander Mitchell,
of the Wyoming division of the Lehigh
Valley, when seen regarding the griev-
anCes of the men on this division. said
that there were none, to his knoWl-
edge, and that none had been brought
to his attention. as is customary. 1t
has been the rule among the men of
the system who have any grievances
to bring them first to the attention
of the division superintendent for ad-
justment In the event Of the lattcr's
refusal to consider them, or if il he be-
yond his power to adjust the difficult
ties satisfactorily, the men then take
the matter before the general officers
of the company at Bethlehem

A big combination of iron mills or
Lebanon and Reading has been formed
and will be controlled by new cor
poraton to be known as the American
Iron and Steel company. Negotiations
for the combination have just been
completed and reached the public to-
day. The plants included in the deal
are Pennsylvania Bolt and Nut com
pany, the Lebanon Iron company, the
East Lebanon Iron company, all OF
this city, and the National Bolt, Nut
and Rivet works of Reading.
The five plants employ about 1000
men and their combined annual pro-
duction of finished bar iron alone is
over 100000 tons. The new company
will assume control Sept. /, by which
time it is believed other companies in
this locality will be absorbed. The
amount of the capital stock of the new
company has not been announced.

The air for ventilation should be taken
from the front end of the train, at
which point the air is free from the
smoke and gas of the locomotive and
from the dust of the train. Such a
train would be swift. almost noiseless,
would be perfectly ventilated with pure
air and would be so vast an improve
ment over existing construction that
the contrast would be remarkable.
Two OF the leading railroads of the
United States are said to be building
experimental trains upon these lines,
and, if Mr.. Adams calculations are
correct, their use means a reduction In
fuel bills of not less than forty per
cent, as well as an enormous increase
in speed.

COMPANY SHOULD PAVE.

'SeCOnd-ShOuld the council in the
future decide to pave the street, the
Railway company should at least pave
between its rails.
"Third--In Section of the ordinance
it says the Railway company will
widen the street to it's legal width
where the same may be necessary. In
my opinion that gives them the right
to say where it is necessary. a valuable
option which they should not have.
'Fourth-In Section 10 of this ordi-
nance the Railway company is to keep
the road in repair for three years. Why
not five years, and give To the council
| the full power to order such repairs,
and after said Railway company has
had ten days notice from council t.
make said repairs let the council have
the same done at the expense of said
! Railway company.
"Fifth-In Section Q of this ordinance
| the tax which is twenty-five cents a
! pole and ten dollars a car is insufTic-
/ lent and should be at least tripled
| which then would only amount TO
! about $275 per year, and would be very
! liberal for such a valuable franchise.
! When the number Of cars exceeds four.
the tax is to be one dollar per car on
| all additional cars. That appears very
! inconsistent to me, as the more cars.
! the more earnings for the company.
| the less tax they desire to pay.
| "SiNth-No provision is made in said
| ordinance limiting the speed of cars.
! which | am informed is very import
! ant one to the public at large. Also
| the number of cars to he run. saw ono
at least every thirty minutes. should
| be specified.
TIME LIMIT NEEDED.
"Seventh-A clause should be insert
! ed compelling the Railway company to
complete its road from Taylor borough
| line to the Luzerne county line within
! SIX months from the passage Of the
ordinance.
Eighth - Single or double track
| should be specified
"Ninth-Section of this ordinance
! is; The rate of fare shall be fixed SO
that persons intending to go to Scran-
! ton shall be carried from the railroad
| crossing north of the High school IA
! the city line for five cents, and return
ing, to the same place. 1t ia custom

! Under this ordinance part of the people

about half mile ride, Should there
be any damages to pay, they will be
| taxed equal Also, it is at the option
of the Railway company to charge even
| any Of the citizens five cents from Tay-

IS ASKED FOR

Patrick Gallagher and William F.
MaincOe, and the burgess, Andrew
Kennedy, are alleged, in the bill, to
be holding office Illegally because the
election under which they claim to
hold the offices WAS irregular and void
1t is further pointed out that their
right to hold these offices is questioned
in two cases now pending, the appeal
from decree Incorporating the borough
and the quo warranto brought to oust
them.
The objections to the ordinance are
contained in Burgess Kennedy's veto,
which is made part of the bill They
are as follows:
First fail to sec any provision
making it compulsory for the Railway
company to grade the street, they have
the right to make the grade to suit
their own convenience; neither do
think the council have the power to
