Operators Have Meeting to Discuss
Settlement.

Settlement
Will1esbarre, Pa, Sept. 2S.-An import
ant meeting of the coal operators of the
Wyoming and Lackawanna valleys was
held at the office of the Lehigh Valley
Coal company in this city TODAY All the
representatives of the big coal companies
with cOllierieS in this section were pres
emit The only individual coal producers
present were the Coke brothers.
h Lathrop, general superintendent of
the Lehigh company chairman of the
committee of coal operators in the Lack
awanna district, presided.
When the conference was over several
operators We're asked for opinions, but
they were very reticent. Superintend
ent Lathrop says:
Wv discussed a scheme of advancing
the wages of all the men throughout the
region at least 10 per cent The powder
question was also discussed, but we were
not prepared to give out any information
Jj sst our deliberations on the sub
From another reliable source it was
learned that the presidents OF the coal
companies in New York sent a draft of
the proposed settlement of the strike to
their representatives here, with instruc-
tions to meet in conference and discuss
whether il would, be advisable to make
terms with the strikers on the basis stat
ed. This involved a great deal of labor
and caused endless discussion Some Of
the Superintendents thought the increase
could not be granted without loss or an
advance in the price of coal
The president of one of the big cQmpanis
in New York, who was called up by long
distance Lei6pnOne IOr MS views on THIS
point, is said to have stated that he did
not hink an increase in the price of coal
could be entertained The conference
was asked TO examine into the cost of
mining coal and see if there could not be
saving made somewhere in operating
expenses.
1t is reported that the representatives
of the Lackawanna company, after going
over the operating expenses of their
mines in this district, We're of the opin-
ion that they could stand the increase.
From what could be learned. the operat-
ors were not opposed to granting a reduc-
ton in the price of powder, but there was
a strong feeling expressed against an
out-and-Out recognition of the Miners
union. A stenographic report of the meet
ing was dispatched to New York, in
charge of a special messenger.

sPELLBINDERs IN MERCUR.
Gold Men Get Chilly Reception in
the Great Camp.
Especial to The Herald.l

Mercur, Sept 29.-The Republican
speIlbinding combination came over
from Eureka by special train this after
noon and held a meeting at the opera
house
Governor Wells spoke briefly on his
own administration and Mckinley
prosperity which was overwhelming
the country
Sutherland followed. He failed to
arouse much enthusiasm and a great
many of the audience went out before
he nished his talk.
G. E. Allen tried to prove that silver
men who supported Bryan four years
ago could consistently vote for Nc
Kinley and the gold standard this year,
but he did not read the Republican
plank for gold. He then talked on
trusts and expressed the belief that
there was little hope for their eradica-
ton. He said they had come to stay.
A person in the audience called out,
What about the Mercur coal trust?'
AS the head of the Mercur coal trust
was the chairman of the meeting,
Francis Hall, the audience appreciated
the point. Mr.. Allen did not attempt
to explain the workings of the local
trust but tried to explain the benefits
of high prices.

Claims and Claims.

Some time ago Frank Cobb es-
tablished in the court here claim
of s168 against the government OF
the United States as compensation
for overtime work performed while
Jail guard at this place. His con-
tention is that employees OF the
government are only required to do
eight hours work to constitute O
day, and for the period he worked
this overtime amounts to 168 days.
for which he claims 81 a day. At
ter establishing his claim here it
waslduly presented to the comp
troller of the United States for al
lowance, in whose Office it is now
pending. If he should refuse to
approve it the next step will be to
file it in the court of claims for ad-
judieation.
Claims of a similar nature ag-
gregating many hundreds of dollars
are being held in abeyance here
pending the decision in this case
and if it should be favorable to the
claimant they will be rushed
through with all possible expedi
ton. Like Denmark's woes, they
will tread upon each others heels,
SO fast they'll follow.

WOodmen rlay Build.

T. B. Cathey has purchased a
lot measuring 40x150 feet on
North Court street near the old
Wisnor site on which he will be-
gin, March l, the erection of a
stone livery barn. The local camp
Woodmen of the World are talk
ing among themselves about the
expedieney of building a hall over
the barn. They reason that the
hall will measure 40x125 feet will
cost them furnished about So, 800.
That there are Ill members of the
camp and that a share of $15 pdr.
chased by each member will bear
the expense of the building and
furnishing. Some have agreed to
take $50 worth of shares, Others
$25 worth, and it is believed that
the Woodmen will seize this op-
portunity to build a hall of their
own. Mr.. Cathey offers dona
ton of $50. The plan is a wise
one on the part of the camp and
no doubt but that sufficient funds
can be raised.

ARDr,oRE,s Bio CONVENTION.
Democratic Hosts Of the Territory
win Meet In the netropolis.

Democratic Hosts OF the Territory
Win Meet In the rletropolis.
While the closing scenes of the
convention were being enacted at
south McAlester Friday. the DEM
ocratic executive committee of the
Territory was in session in the
same city for the purpose of select
ing place for holding the next
convention.
Chairman John l.. Gait of Ard
more presided, and how well he
worked for his home town is
amply shown by the result of the
meeting.
Four towns were in the race for
the convention-Ardmore, Wag-
oner, South McAlester and Mus
kogee-and ON the first ballot Ard
more was chosen. The date fixed
for the convention is June IL, and
Ardmore must be prepared to en-
tertain her guests in royal style.
The action of the committee i'll
choosing Ardmore was eminently
just and proper. All the big
meetings and important offices of
the party in the Territory have
heretofore gone to the east side.
except the craftsmanship of Mr..
Calf. and it is only right that the
great democratic Chickasaw ma
ton should be the rallying ground
for the campaign of 1900, and
that the banner of democracy
should be raised in it's chief city.
1t is estimated that 300 delegates
will be in attendance from all over
the Territory and the occasion will
be one of the most important in
Ardmore's history. This conven
ton will choose the Indian Terri
tory representatives, six in num-
ber, to attend the democratic nat
ional convention which meets in
Kansas City on the 4th of July.
The Territory's representative on
the democratic national executive
committee will also be chosen by
this convention.
1t is expected that this conven'
will also adopt plans for tine thor
eugh organization of the demo
cratic party in the Territory. either
by a league of clubs or otherwise
as may be deemed best by the con
vention.
| 1t appears from all this that thu
18th of June will be an importan
day in Ardmore, and our peopl,
should go to work deliberately ant
make all needed arrangements fol
the reception and entertainment o
visitors. Ardmore's reputation
/ must be sustained as a city of cor
dial and unlimited hospitality.
