10 use cross-overs in their construction OF
new tracks. and to pave the streets from

bad condition as a result of the company'S
work. Captain Pizzini, on behalf of the
company, explained that he had ordered
two cross-overs from the factory, upon
receipt Of Colonel Cutshaw's letter, and
ne read letter from the manufacturers,
saying that on, account of a rush of bus
mess they could not be filed at once.
tn mean time the company use temporary

Captain Pizzni agreed to do.
AS TO the paving proposition. Mr.. NJ. NJ.
Martin said the company was willing to
go ahead with it, and take the risk OF be-
ing paid by the city for that part, which

Attorney render an opinion as to how
much this company should do on its own

Much Excitement

The scenes of the previous days on
Lackawanna avenue were re-enacted
yesterday, though there was no one
incident quite of the magnitude. in the
matter of excitement, of that which
eliminated in the assault on Superin-
tendent Patterson.
The snow that fell yesterday was es-
pecially adapted to snowballing and
that it was adapted to that particular
use can well be believed. The average
boy believes he has q license to throw
SNOWFALL at almost anything that
offers itself as Il target. He, yester-
day, evidenced that he had sort of
feeling that there was nothing but
licenses for him to make a target of
the tabooed cars and their imported
crews.
General Manager Silliman made an
other complaint to Mayor Moir yester-
day of the seeming inactivity of the
police who We're assigned to do duty in
the territory about the trolley COM
pany's offices. Mr.. Silliman seemed to
think that the officers should do more
to prevent boys from throwing missiles
at the cars and pulling at the trolley
rope.
The mayor and Mr.. Sillman were
standing together on the Coyne house
corner when the complaint was being
lodged by the latter. In the midst of
the conversation. Mr. Silliman inter-
rupted with: See there! 1t seems
everyone can see those things except
ing those who ought to see them" He
referred to Il boy who had just pelted
an imported conductor in the face with
a hard SNOWFALL.
There We're no police officers handy
at the time, so his honor ran over,
placed the boy under arrest and took
him to the Center street police station.
The boy was discharged after his name
was recorded,
John Moore, a Park Place painter,
who was overheard making some re-
marks tending to incite an attempt to
rescue the boy, was arrested by
f'atrolman Rarius and lodged in cell,
to await hearing.
Superintendent Patterson was about
yesterday, little the worse for his ex-
citing experience of the day before.

The following was issued yesterday
by the strikers:
We. the motormcn, conductors, barn men, and
all other employees of the Scranton Street Railway

port.
We desire also to say that we deprccatc and
regret any acts OF those who are our friends, in
the direction OF violence or turbulent conduct.
We are very grateful for all the sympathy and
support such has bceI so fully expressed, and
we are determined to so conduct ourselves that
we will be warranted in asking continuance
Of the same.
That the company may have no excuse for
invoking the authorities we do by this means
respectfully and urgently request those who have
our interests at heart, to abstain from any and
all violence. While we intend to ,ise every le
gitimate means to secure living terms from Our
employers we protest against injury to persons
or persons or interference by force with vested
rights; and pledge ourselves to at all times give
moral and physical assistance toward maintain
ing law and order and solicit the hearty CO.
operation Of all our friends in this direction.

WILL BE NO STRIKE
AT MILkES-BARRE
Proposition Submitted by the Officers
Of the Trolley Company Is Ac-
cepted by the Men.

1.-The trouble between the employees
and officials of the Wilkes-B Barre and
Wyoming Valley Traction company
over certain demands relative to wages
and hours of labor, which threatened
a tie-up of the system, was amicably
adjusted early this morning by the men
accepting a proposition of President
Rigg for a settlement of their griev-
ances," says last evenings Wilkes
Barre Times.
"The grievance committee and the
traction officials h,--- conference yes
terday afternoon and President Rigg
submitted two propositions to the men.
The first was 50 a day for a day of
twelve hours and II cents an hour for
overtime. The second was two nine
hour shifts at $1.65 per day and 18 13
cents per hour for overtime. Under
both propositions the men would re-
ceive an hours pay for any fraction
of an hour over ten minutes.
1.-The report Of the grievance commit
tee with President Riggs propositions
was submitted to the traction men at
meeting held at midnight last night.
About o'clock this morning the Sec
ond proposition was adopted by an un-
dHlIHOuS NOle. ue IlleH dSTceu W
work nine hours day at $1.65 and be
paid 1S Ia cents an hour for overtime.
'"rhe men We're jubilant over the re-
suit and marched about the streets
cheering for President Rigg and the
traction company. The agreement is
to go into effect Jan. 1, 1901, and con-
tinue one year.
"Under the old system of swing
shifts there were three men to a car
for the eighteen hour day, but under
the new agreement each car will have
four men, two crews of nine hours
each. There are 1874 motormen and con-
ductors employed at present on the
various lines of the company and un-
der the new system forty-four new
men will be given employment. This
will mean a great additional expense
to the company, but it will be offset
in measure by the shorter hours of
the men, which will reduce their wages
about So a month, or nearly 800 year
less than they receive al present"

tion in Scranton would likely be no
more hospltable than 1t was In Wilkes
Barre, and that they had better cut
Scranton out of their itinerary. AT all
events. they refused to take the COM
Meeting train for Scranton and the
last heard from them they were hang
ing around the Lehigh Valley station
platform in Wilkes-Barre, trying to
keep warm and wondering where they
would get their yesterdays supper
this morning.
Word OF their presence spread rap
idly through Wilkes Barre, and a big
crowd assembled. They were hooted
and jeered and told If they went on
to Scranton they would be dumped
into mine shaft.
President Clark, of the trolley COM
pany, who came UP on the same train,
was met there by General Manager
Silliman. and the two came on to
Scranton.

behind to look. after the Philadel-
phians.

Halted at WilkeS-Barre

Word was received here by the strk-
ers yesterday afternoon that twenty
five men had been recruited In Phila-
delphia by the trolley company and
that they We're en- route for Scranton.
Martin ID. Flaherty, president of the
Central Labor union, Went to Wilkes
Barre to watch for them, and, accom-
panied by Il squad of Wyoming Valley
Traction company employees, met every
train from the south.
Their vigil was rewarded at Ills
o'clock, when the Pennsylvania train
arrived. There, sure enough, were
twenty-five men, and that they We're
the twenty-five men the strikers were
looking for was shown to be the case
by the approach of Special Agent Nor
gan Sweeney who had come to meet
them.
Mr.. Flaherty and the Wilkes Barre
union men boarded the car and, going
among the men, pleaded with them to
go back. Their pleadings We're in vain.
The Philadelphians turned their backs
on fhe petitioners and left in a body
for nearby restaurant to get some-
thing to eat before coming on to Scran-
ton.
anu w
allies followed them and when the
Fhiladelphians We're nicely seated in
the restaurant waiting to be served,
Mr.. Flaherty went to the proprietor
and informed him of the identity of
his guests. The proprietor turned them
out They tried to buy some drink, but
the bartender put chase to them. They
went to another restaurant, but Fla
herty was there with them and they
could not get as much as an oyster
cracker. They tried several places, but
with the same i'll success. Three of
the crowd thought to sneak away and
quietly satisfy their hunger, but
Wilkes-Barre trolley man was on their
heels and wherever they went he
would slide in ahead of them and give
the proprietor the tip and when the
trio would ask for something to eat the
proprietor would say: TOO busy to
serve you. Come around after the
strike in Scranton is over" or some-
thing of that kind.
The Philadelphians got together It
seems, and decided that their recep-

brief hearing was committed to Jail
In default of $500 bail He spent the
night in the county Jail and was re-
leased yesterday morning on ball fur
nished before Alderman Milar by Tim
othy Burke.
Contributions to the strikers cam
paign fund continue to pour in. Their
soliciting committees are received cor
daily everywhere and many of those
who make contributions tell the solicit
tors to call every week while the strike
lasts.
A merchant on upper Lackawanna
avenue whose teamsters came In and
reported that they were being called
opprobrious names made an invcstiga-
tion and learned that there was a re-
port current that he was selling gro-
ceries to the company. He sent an
emphatic denial of the story to strike
headquarters and accompanied his
message with two boxes of cigars and
a liberal cash donation.
The steam railroads are doing the
handsome thing by the strikers. A
special rate, which Is very moderate,
is given for the transportation of the
imported men whom the strikers send
back.
1t has been proposed to the board
of health that because Of the preva-
lence of smallpox in New York and
Oshkosh the imported trolley men
ought to be vaccinated. When the
board comes to consider the matter,
one Of its members says, It will not
be deferred from doing what 1t con-
cludes should he it's full duty out Of
consideration for the fact that the
vaccination may incapacitate these
men.
The funeral Of James p. Collins,
president of the street car mems union.
was attended yesterday by the strikers
from all over the valley. A large floral
piece was sent by the union as token
Of its sympathy and sorrow.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-12-29

Negotiations for the settlement of the
street car strike are on. They were
begun yesterday afternoon.
A prominent Lackawanna avenue
merchant, acting solely out of regard
for business conditions, is the inter-
mediary. He is a personal friend Of
Timothy Burke, of Burke Bros, who
holds large block Of the stock and
who is a director of the Trolley COM
pany He is also a close friend of a
number of the strike leaders and holds
their entire confidence.
This merchant arranged for confer
ence between the strikers and Mr..
Burke and it was held last evening in
Mr. Burke's private Office in the Con-
nell building. The strikers committee
consisted of p. J. Messett George Keg-
lar and John Tigue. of Archibald.
They We're in consultation for over
an hour and while neither party would
disclose what was arrived at. it leaked
out late at night that proposition for
a settlement could be looked for today.
The amicable settlement OF the differ
ences between the Wyoming Valley
Traction company and its employees will
have a tendency it is generally be-
lieved, to hasten an adjustment of the
trouble here.
General Manager Silliman said yes
terday that he could not see any hopes
for a compromise. 1t is not a. matter
the company is allowing itself to be
subjected to this conflict. The only
choice in the matter, he said, was to
turn the road over to the men and be
content with their earrings or else fight
it out to a finish. A company whose
earnings decreased 40 per cent. in a
year, he contended. would be commit
ting business suicide to attempt to in
crease the wages of it's men 2S per
cent. the very next year, with the next
year Offering not only no hopes of in
creased earnings, but positive assur-
ance of continued decrease.
Referring to the strike activities he
said the company would establish a
complete service just as soon as it can
secure police protection. If it was not
for the absence of this, he declared, the
cars would be running on every line In
the city now.
Mr.. Silliman wanted it stated that
he was complaining more of the inade-
| quacy of the force than of any inefii-
cheney on the part of it's members.
In response to telegram from Mr..
Burke, President c. NJ. Clark, of the
Scranton Railway company. took the
first train to this city from Philadel-
phia, arriving here at 11.35. He was met
at Wilkes Barre by General Manager
| Silliman and escorted to Hotel Jermyn.
He did not register and it was not until
early this mornig that his presence
here was known.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-12-29

grateful to the strikers who pro-
tected and rescued him from the mob.
The men are filled with sincere re-
grct at the unfortunate occurrence.
They are desirous that there shall
be no violence and especially none
that will have Superintendent Petter-
son as It's target, for he is extremely
popular with the men.
The proposition to compel the inn
ported men to be vaccinated is one
that will permit of serious considera-
tion, especially in the case of the in,-
portations from New York. where
smallpox is prevalent. Should the
board of health decide upon adopting
this precautionary measure. 1t will
have a tendency to help the strikers,
as a man with a vaccinated arm will
in the course of q few days be unable
to run car, providing the vaccine
takes" and as sympathy for the
strikers extends very generally 10 is
not at all improbable that the doe.
tors who do the vaccinating will see
10 ii that II does take.
