STRIKE CONTINUES.
ised-Quiet Prevails Through
out Region.

Philadelphia, Sept. .9.-The' coal
strike remains unsettled. Reports of
conferences of mine operators and OF
leading officials of the coal-carrying
railroads were plentiful. Beyond the
ge neral statement that the principal
point under discussion was the advisa-
bility or practica bility of granting the
mine workers ten per cent. advance
in wages. very little of the details of
the meeting could be CLEANED. The
operators generally expressed the
opinion that the increase could not be
granted and the operating expenses
met unless there was an advance in
the price of coal. The larger operat-
ing companies, however, took rather
a hesitating view of the proposition
to further increase the price Of an
thracite, contending that the compe-
tition of bituminous coal was now too
sharp. President Mitchell, of the
United Mine Workers, is reticent on
the general question of accepting
ten per cent. increase without other
concessions, and declined to be inter
viewed on that point. Meantime the
strike leaders are continuing their eff
forts to induce working miners to
join in the strike. Quietude prevailed
throughout the mine region.

NEW COUNTY OFFICIALS.
Commissioners AMI Auditors to Re-
organize Today - Nothing Au-
tlentic Knowh About Plnns.

Nothing authentic could be learned
yesterday of the plans of the incoming
county commissioners regarding pos
cible changes in the working force Of
their office and the selection of a sue
cessor to County Solicitor II. a. Knapp.
who has declined 10 serve another
term.
1t is generally understood, however,
that Herbert l.. Taylor is to be the
next county solicitor.
AS to the position of chief clerk, there
is variety of rumors, but the COM
missioners-elect will not say which Of
them is the correct one. In fact, they
claim they do not themselves know
what will be done in this regard. One
of them said yesterday that even if the
majority of the commissioners were
disposed to remove Mr.. Wagner, there
is a question as to their power to do
so. considering his appointment made
recently for three years, under the act
passed last year authorizing just this
thing.
The commissioners will take charge
at high noon and will at once enter
upon the task of selecting their assist
ants. AT . o'clock a meeting Of the
commissioners with President Jud ge
Archibald and Sheriff Pryor is sched-
uled to reorganize the prison board.
Mr.. Morris says he will not resign
his position on the board of six school
controllers. He has been una BILE to dis
cover anything in the law making the
two offices incompatible and until such
time as he is convinced that he must
give up one office or the other, he pro-
poses to hold both. "The people elected
me to the offices; I'm willing to serve
in them, and why should give one of
them up?" said Mr.. Morris.
The retiring board of county auditors
will file their annual report this morn
ing, and at noon will reorganize, Will

the coat in a Lackawanna avenue ho-
