NOTES OF INTEREST
ABOUT THE STRIKE

The lace works employees have pro-
tested against the company using non
union coal. Nothing has come of the
protest yet.
The Delaware and Hudson company
has detailed fifty-eight coal and iron
police to look after its workings in
Clinton township, Wayne county.
T.. l.. Fuller, of the Mount Pleasant
mine of Scranton, gives me the
following statement of the an
nual earnings of i6L or more
miners employed by him dur
ing the twelve months ended August
81 last, and offers TO show his pay roll
for any month or year to any RESPONSE
BILE person who is interested in the
matter Of miners wages. During the
year named his miners worked an av-
erage of 22j days. Seven per cent. of
them earned between $400 and $500, Sc
per cent. between $500 and 5000 40 per
cent. between $500 and $500 10 per cent.
between $500 and $500 and per cent
over $500. on Monday next the rail-
roads and other operators in the Scran-
ton district will commence paying off
their men for the coal mined during
the first fifteen days of September be-
fore the strike went into effect, and
several of them have offered TO let any
responsible person inspect their pay
rolls and copy them for publication
in order to cOntrOVert the statements
of Colonel Bryan and others that un-
der the existing system a miner cam
not make more than $3.50 a year.-Will-
lam f. Curtis in THE Chicago Record.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-09-28

Ks exclusively predicted in yester-
days Tribune a resolution was intro
duced ana passed both councils last
night directing the city solicitor to
take necessary steps TO prevent the
granting Of a boulevard charter to
the company organized for the pur-
pose of operating a boulevard between
North Scranton end Chinchilla.
Mayor Moir received word from Har-
risburg yesterday that the time fixed
for the granting of the charter was
Tuesday next, upon which date 1t
would be granted. providing no OBJ
ieCtions were filed before This re-
quircd that immediate action be taken
by councils and the resolution Went
through both branches with a rush.
The citys official protest against the
granting of the charter will be sent
on TO Harrisburg this morning. 1t is
signed by Mayor Moir bears the i'm
print of the seal of the city. and is
addressed TO Governor William A.
Stone.
After citing the facts regarding the
existing contract between the city and
the Abingdon Turnpike company and
the pending condemnation proceed
ings. the protest goes on to say:
1T is purposed to be proved that this
application for a charter for the bou-
levard company is made by the same
persons who constitute the said turn
pike company and that this applica-
tion IS made for the purpose of de-
featirg the condemnation proceedings
just referred to by Incorporating
now company which would not be sub
jeCt to condemnation and having this
new company lease or purchase the
road of the said turnpike company
within the city limits and thus keep
the contract with the city of Scran-
ton in full force.
1T is expected to be proved that the
application for the Incorporation Of the
said boulevard company is not made in
good faith for the purpose of forming
| an Independent corporation, but that
| 1t is simply a subterfuge to avoid the
| condemnation of part of the turn
| pike company's road lying within the
| city of Scranton and the abrogation
| of the contract between said turnpike
| company and the city of Scranton"

LIST OF THE CITY'S
DEFICIENCY BILLS
1t Has Been Prepared and Is Now
on File in the Office of the
City Controller.

A carefully prepared and complete
list of all the deficiency bills on file in
Controller Howells' Office is being pre-
pared by Deputy Controller Hartley and
will be sent into councils next week
together with a communication re-
questng that some action be taken to
prevent more deficiencies being created.
The controller is not yet in q posi-.
tion to make public the exact amount
of these deficiencies, but it is known
that IT. is very large. The Tribune re-
porter saw a number of fire depart
ment bills which passed the auditing
committee on Monday night but which
are being hung up" by the controller
because there IS no money to pay them.
They aggregate about $3.50 and are
for the repairs of engine houses. The
appropriation for this purpose has been
exhausted for some time. In addition
to these there are large number Of
other department. bills contracted
earlier in the year amounting To up
wards of $1,000 for which there is no
murey.
1t is the same with nearly every
other city department and in some in
stances with the ward appropriations.
The Fifth ward appropriation is al
ready overdrawn about $3.50. the Fourth
ward is oVerdrawn and so are several
others.
The deficiency appropriation for this
fiscal year was $S,1S9.92, but the heads
Of several departments contracted Il
bad habit which the controller will en-
deavor to break up this year. Large
numbers of deficiency bills were held
back until the appropriation ordinance
was passed and We're then sent to the
auditing committee SO that a large part
Of this years appropriation for several
departments went for paying bills con-
tracted last year.
This accounts to a certain extent for
the creation of 50 many dehcien-
cies SO early this year. The controller
will cndeavor To have councils direct
the heads of all departments to send in
all their deficiency bills before the end
Of the fiscal year SO that they may be
provided for in the regular deficiency
appropriation instead Of having them
charged up against specific appropria-
tions made for the next fiscal year.
1t is hard to prophecy what action
councils will take on the controllers
| communication. The general custom
heretofore has been to order such com
munications received and filed. That
is about as far as councils ever go in
the matter but the controller is hopeful
| that they will break away from the
time honored custom this year.

of course, puts the schedule out of the
question. If the Increase comes ii Will
be granted on a percentage basis, with
the present schedule of wages as the
foundation to work on.
1t is hardly necessary to state that
condition precedent to the settlement
is that the United Mine Workers or
ganization shall not be known i'm the
deal.
How completely the local operators
were on the outside of what was being
done in New York yesterday, is at
tested by their ridiculing Of the news.
paper stories in the afternoon, and
their chagrin in the evening when they
learned authoritatively that the news
paper stories were pretty nearly cor
rect.
Even as prominent a coal man as
superintendent G. G. Rose. of the Della
ware and Hudson company's mining
department said at o'clock yesterday
afternoon: II know nothing about the
matter but l take no stock in these
stories. 1t is not at all likely"
A statement from the operators is
possible today.

THE ENIGMATICAL
FRANK 7. HAWLEY

Frank T. Hawley. otherwise Thad-
deus Howley, formerly of Scran-
ton, later of Carbondae and
now Of Buffalo. who is fill
ing the position of grand master of
the SwitchnIen's union Of North Amer
lea, has been heard from again Be-
fore he left Scranton, last Monday, to
go to New York, he made several epi-
grammatic statements. that We're in
terDreted by the newspaper men who
heard them and the general public to
whom they were repeated. to mean
that the switchmen had called him
here to advise with them on the matter
of refusing to handle non-unIon coal,
and that it remained with him and
Secretary Upton to say what the
switchmen would do in the matter.
Now he declares, from New York city,
that the purpose of his visit was to
deal with some grievances that the
switchmen had that were IN nowise
connected with the miners or non
union coal or anything like that, and
by the wording Of his declaration
leaves it to be inferred that the nom
union coal matter was simply used as
a lever to force a redress of the switch
mems own grievances. and that the
plan worked successfully.
He declared further in his New York
interview that the miners were expect
ing too much, if they counted on the
switChmen getting themselves into
bother to effect nothing more than the
closing down Of the few culm wash
cries that are yet running. "Why don't
they do this without going outside for
help?" Mr.. Hawley asked. This is
their fight and they ought not ask out
sidcrs to make big sacrifices to help
them to get out the few of their craft
who are yet working. The switchmen
can not see their way clear to inter-
fere."
Local railroaders who 40 not hold
Mr.. Hawley in as high esteem as he
apparently commands in distant places,
are not very well pleased with his con-
duct, and are saying things that to
the outsider. not conversant with all
the facts in the case, would sound
rather Incorporate. incidentally, Mr..
HaWley was not in this city yesterday
or the day before. He Is in Boston to-
day.
The news that the switchmen would
do nothing to aid in closing up the
washeres has OcCasoned a call for a
special meeting of the executive board
| of the United Mine Workers of Dis
trict No. /, for tomorrow afternoon, to
devise some new plan of attack. Or
ganizer Dilcher is expected to be here
to lend his counsel The men of Dis
trict No. / are justly proud of the
practical completeness of the tie-up
here. and view with undisguised chag-
rim the operations of the washeries. the
| only collieries, leaving aside two OF
| three insignificant workings, that are
| porducing fuel in all the Lackawanna-
| Wyoming region. If there is any way
| of tieing up the washeries the board
ropOseS to find that way, and act al
