Coal Operators Willing TO Grant Reduction in
Price OF owder.

Wikesbarre. Pa. Sept. 2S.-An i'm
portant meeting of the coal operators
If the Wyoming and Lackawanna val
legs, was held at the office Of the lie
high Valley Coal GO. in this city. to-
day. All the representatives Of the big
coal companies with colleries in this
section We're present. The only indi-
vidual coal producers represented were
Coke Brothers.
After the conference was over sew
eral operators were asked for informal
tion. but they We're very reticent. Su-
perintendent Lathrop said:
We discussed a scheme for advanc-
ing the wages Of all the men through
out the region at least 10 per cent. The
powder question was also discussed but
We are not prepared to give out any
information regarding our deliberations
on the subject"
From what can be learned the OPP
orators were not opposed to granting
a reduction in the price Of powder but
there was a strong feeling expressed
against an out and out recognition Of
the Miners Union. A 4stenographiC re-
port of the meeting was dispatched to
New York in charge Of a special mes
senser.
The officers of the Mine Workers as
sembled here. say no agreement which
leaves the union out will be accepta-
bic to the strikers. and President
Mitchell, in a message to the officers
of the union in this region warns them
against entering into any negotiations
with individual companies.
All was quiet in the region, today.
in anticipation Of a settlement Of the
strike.

CALLED BY THEIR Country
NAVAL RESERVE CAPTAINS ON
PACIFIC LINERS.
Commanders Of the Coptic, Doric and
Gaelic Must Join Great Britain's I'M
mense War Fleet.

Captain j. H. Rinder, r. N. r., who
took the S. S. Coptic from here yester-
day afternoon, is not likely to see HO-
nolulu again for some time. Like a
number of other captains on the liners
calling here he is included in the mem
bers of the British Royal Naval Reserve
and will have to go and join the inn
mense fleet of 800 war vessels which
Great Britain is assembling.
The dispatch from London annOunc-
ing the new move made by the British
government stated that Officers of the
Royal Naval Reserve, who are serving
on merchantmen all over the world
have been notified by cable to hold
themselves in readiness to expect COM
missions on war ships" Captain Rim
der was on the sea when this announce
:nent was made, but he will probably
receive notice at San Francisco.
Captain Harry Smith of the Doric is
another Royal Naval Reserve man. She
has just passed through here on the
way to the Orient. 1t Is thought likely
that Captain Smith will leave the Doric
at HOngkong.
Captain William Finch of the Gaelic
is also a British Reserve man. His
vessel is in Hongkong now and he has
undoubtedly received notice that his
country wants him for war service. The
three captains mentioned all have the
rank of Lieutenants in the Royal Naval
Reserve, but it is stated that they are
to be given command of vessels. 1t has
been the rule OF the Occidental and
Oriental S. S. Company that it's cap
tains must be Royal Naval Reserve
men.
Captain Carey of the S. S. Moana is
also said to be a member of the organi-
zation which Great Britain has called
out in order that she may be in readi-
ness for government service, the Steam
ship Companies will have to find a

NEW CUSTOMS GAUGER.

Customs gauger H. NJ. Morton has
left the custom house There was
quite lively interview yesterday after
noon between the gauger and collector
general Stackable, with the result that
the gaugers resignation was asked for
on the spot. The cause of the trouble
was the recent order cutting down the
forces at the custom house. One of the
men discharged from the service was
a storekCeper whose time was partly
devoted to assisting Morton, in the
gathering of samples for testing and in
the office. The gauger is said to have
demanded that the collector put the
man back at work and to have declared
that he would get extra help by appeal
ing to higher authority if Stackable
refused the demand
The work of the gaugers department
is present being done by Port Sur
veyor Stratmeyer who has held the
position before and is familiar with the
work. Mr.. Stackable stated this morn
ing that he could not say who would be
the new gauger. 1t is reported that
Professor ingalls, will be the man. He
was at the custom house yesterday
afternoon, after Morton left, and is
said to have been offered the place.
