Weekly Crop Bulletin.

In the Michigan crop report for 90
tober, iss,Ssd by Secretary of State
Stearns on the 9th, the statement Is
made that the September weather was
peculiar in many respects. Frequent
showers early in the month aided ma
terially in preparing the ground for
seeding to wheat They also promised
to help potatoes, but the killing frosts
of the middle of the month put stop
to all growth. A notable feature Of
the month was a snow storm.
The most important feature of the
report is the final estimate of this
years wheat crop in Michigan. The
total number of acres of wheat on the
ground last April, as returned by the
supervisors, was 1,9l4,941. OF this,
LAB, 344 acres were in the southern
counties, 342, 474 in the central, and
129, 1913 in the northern. According to
reports received from crop correspon-
dents, II per cent of these acres were
harvested. The, per cent in the south
ern counties was 70, in the central SO,
and in the northern SO. This would
indicate that the total number of acres
harvested was ! ,40S, 131 for the entire
state.
The final estimated yield per acre
for the number of acres harvested is
eight bushels in the southern counties,
six in the central nine in the northern
and eight for the state. This would
make the total estimated yield for the
state, 12, 900, 900 bushels.
The acreage of wheat sown this fall,
as compared with an average is 80 per
cent in the southern counties, 81 in the
central, SO in the northern and SO in
the state. The average date of sowing
wheat was Sept. 20.
The estimated yield of oats per acre
is 80 bushels; corn, 81; potatoes, SO,
and beans IL.
The total acreage of buckwheat is
"a, 591, and the average yield per acre
is II bushels for the state.
The total number of bushels of wheat
reported marketed by farmers in Sep
TENDER at the Touring mills is All, SS2,
and at the elevators, Az, 489, total OF
$50, 371. The total number of bushels
reported marketed in the two months
ending Oct. /, was 2,334, PAT, or 1884,
034 more bushels than for the same
two months of last year. The total
amount of wheat shipped by railroads
from the various stations for the month
was All, 671 bushels.

THE MAYORS OPINION.
Believes the Water Question Will Be
Amicably Adjusted.

Mayor Moir believes that the water
question will be as he terms it. "aml-
cably adjusted" before long and that
this will be accomplished through tn :
medium of the committee recently ap-
pointed by select council to examine
into the business of Mr.. Melvin's or
dinance establishing water rates in the
city.
II am confident" he said yesterday,
that this acrimonious argument and
debate will soon pass over and that
Mr.. Scranton will realize the reason =
ableness Of comforting with this com.
mittee. The question has been decid-
ed time and again by the highest
courts in the land that municipalities
have the right and power to fix their
water rates.
Il think, therefore, that Mr.. Scran-
ton will realize that the city has the
law on its side and will confer with
the committee and If he thinks the
water rates as fixed to be unreason-
able, 10 convince the committee Of this
fact and suggest those which he would
consider reasonable. BY this means
mutual understanding could h ar
rived at, which would, no doubt, be
satisfactory to all concerned. At least

tee, he should"

The drivers and runners at the
Hampton and Hyde Park collieries,
operated by the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western company, have quit work
anl as a result both colieries are idle.
When a reporter called at the super
intendent of coal departments office
yesterday, the information was Cleaned
that the demand for coal was light,
and i'm consequence the various col
lieries are shut down for repairs al
ternately. This same information has
been given out on several occasions,
when the Dodge, Taylor and other col
lieries have been shut down. but it has
been learned from reliable source
that the same grievance exists among
the men at the Hampton and Hyde
Park mines that caused the necessary
shut-downs at the Dodge and Taylor
mines recently, and unless the condi-
tions are modified the company will
have a general strike to deal with.
The trouble lies in the fact that the
company is working the drivers and
runners ten hours a day and are pay
ing them wages for eight hours work.
When the demand for coal was at its
height, the men worked ten hours
day and received ten hours pay, but
owing to the mild weather the work
ing time was reduced to eight hours
yet the drivers complain that during
the day they were kept waiting for
cars, and al quitting time, when cars
were supplied, they were compelled
to work overtime to get out the coal.
For this overtime they got no COM
pensation.
Another argument used by the run
ners employed at the Hampton is that
the runners in other mines are receiv-
ing $1.45 per day, while they receive
but s1.37 for ten hours work The
team drivers, who now receive $l.1S
and $1.27 per day for driving 'twos"
and "threes" demand s1.37, as paid in
other collieries.
The Hampton men held a meeting
in Flanagan's hall on Luzerne street,
Tuesday evening, and decided to stay
out the next day. When the miners
assembled at the head of the SHAFT
Wednesday to go to work, they found
a notice posted that the collieries were
shut down for repairs.
A committee waited on Inside Fore
man Dagger, of the Hampton mines,
who was unable to give them any
satisfaction, and the men refused TO
resume work, and assert that they will
stay out until their demands are
granted. The employees of the Hyde
Park shaft who have about the same
grievances, refused to go TO work yes
terday, and in consequence the mines
was idle during the day.
An agreement was reached yesterday
that the employees Of each colliery ap-
point a committee, and that they
jointly visit superintendent LOOMS
and present their grievances. A meet
ing was held in Flanagan's hall last
evening for the purpose of outlining
the several grievances to the commit
tee. and to arrange them in writing fol-
presentation.
The matter will undoubtedly be re-
ferred to the district superintendent for
adjustment. All the employees are idle
in consequence of the ut-down.
