MINERS ACCEPT
They Will Return TO Work if
/ Operators Act
IN GOOD FAITH
They Must Agree to Cons
tinue to Pay the Increase

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 15.--The strik-
ing anthracite coal miners, after two
days convention, late Saturday after.
noon decided to accept the 10 per cent
net increase in wages offered by the
mine owners, providing the owners
will continue the payment of the ad-
vance until next April and will abolish
the sliding scale.
If the operators consider the propo.
sition unacceptable, the miners are
willing to arbitrate the questions at
issue. They also decided to continue
the strike until the operators agree
to the conventions proposals. The
resolutions are as follows:
"We, your committee; respectfully
submit the following preamble and
resolutions for your considerations:
"Whereas, the anthracite coal oper.
ators have posted notices Offering an
advance of 10 per cent. over wages
formerly paid and have signitied their
willingness to adjust other grievances
with their own employees: and,
"Whereas, they have failed to spec
ify the length of time this advance
would remain in force, and have also
failed to abolish the sliding scale
method of determining wages We
would recommends:
"That this convention accept an
advance of 10 per cent. providing the
operators will continue it's payment
until April l, 1901, and will abolish
the sliding scale in the Lehigh and
Schuylkill regions; the scale Of wages
in the two last named districts to re.

the present basis price; and that the
companies will agree to adjust other
grievances complained of with COM
nitteeS Of their own employees.
"Should this proposition be nuaccept-
able to the operators, we recommend
that the convention propose that all
questions at issue be submitted to a
fair and impartial board Of arbitra-
tion.
"We would further recommend that
under no circumstances whatever
should there be resumption of work
at any Of the collieries until the oper-
ators signify their acceptance of this
proposition and you are notified Off
cially that the strike is ended, and all
return to work in a body on the same
day"

The Rutland Canadian Diff.
cu|ties Again Prominent
INJUNCTION IN FORCE
Contractor Sheehan Claims
$450,000 Still Unpaid

Burlington, Oct. l5.-Work upon
the Rutland Canadian railroad, which
by order CT Chancellor Russell S
Taft, of this city, Friday, passed into
the hands of the Champlain Construc-
tion Company, was resumed Saturday
under the direction of the orator in
the injunction case.
President Clement of the Rutland
railroad returned from tour of in
Spection over the line and remained
in the city over night, ready to take
up the wark of re-organizing the con-
struction force Saturday, in which he
was not hampered in the least by
OBrien & Sheehan, the men who have
brought the road to it's present high
grade of workmanship.
Mr.. Clement said that his reasons
for seeking to gain control Of their
property were good and sufficient ones,
as is evidenced by the fact that Mr..
Sheehan of the contracting firm pro-
fesseS to be entirely satisfied with the
present status of the case. even though
he claims a much larger sum is due
his firm than Mr.. Clement believes is
in reality theirs to demand:
II f,1r hnr IN hat rly
the road would be completed by the
middle or latter part of November,
and that he expected that trains would
be running over the entire line by the
first of December.
John G. Sheehan Of New York, Of
the firm of O'Brien & Sheehan, ar
rived here Saturday.
He said that Mr.. Clements claim
that his firm was likely to be sued
for the debt and the road attached as
was the veriest kind of
nonsense.
"We not only can pay our bills
when they become due, but we can
pay them if we never receive one cent
If the $3.50, 900 due US to date from
the Champlain Const ruction Compa-
,y," said he.
Mr.. Sheehan gave as his reason for
jhe great delay in completing the
'oad and the necessary extension of
contracts the fact that the rail-
'oad people had from the first annoy
ID him in every possible way from the
7ery inception of the work, failing to
urnish right of way, plans, ties, rails,
,tc., as required in the contracts be-
ng especially particular to see that
,he 80 per cent due on the 10th of |
ZACH month for work done the previ-
,us month, was cut down to 60 per |
,ent and in some instances to so per
,ent.
Mr.. Sheehan said that his firm
hould take no steps to dissolve the
Injunction, being satisfied with the
ituation as it now stands.
At the close of business on Thurs
lay there are said to have been 1,500
nen in the employ of the sub .contrac-
ors on the road, many of whom have
'een engaged in breaking rock for bal
asst, and all of whom Mr.. Sheehan ex-
,ects to pay on the Goth inst. despite
he fact that his firm, as he says, has
lot received any pa 1T of the 80 per
ent. he claims as due for work per-
ormed in September.

Secretary OF Agriculture Hamilton, of
Pennsylvania, Writes Regarding
Recent Charges.

HARRISBURG, June 25.-Secretary of
Agriculture Hamilton wrote an open
letter to Representative William T.
Greasy, of Catawissa, asking for a
definite explanation of the accusations
made against his administration in a
series of resolutions adopted at recent
meeting of Pomona Grange No. 5, of
Columbia and lower Luzerne counties
The resolutions were prepared by a COM
mittee composed of Mr. Greasy, E. Fl.
Sloan and A. F. Young, and recited that
the reports of the United States revenue
department showed that there We're 49,
000.000 pounds of oleomargarine sold i'll
Pennsylvania last year, and only 220, 900
pounds III New York state; that the

censure.'
The resolution recited further that
the violations of the cleo law could not
have been carried on without the secre-
tary's knowledge; that colored oleo was
still being sold and demanded the resig-
nation of Mr. Hamilton, with all the
officials who have been guilty of negli-

Pekin.
The 5000 internationals at Tien Tsin
were hard pressed and fighting for their
lives on Thursday and a relieving force
OF less than thousand had been beaten
