Wilkesbarre. Pa. Oct. 17.-The rep
resentatives OF the coal carrying com

with headquarters i'm New York yoster-
day regarding the settlement of the
miners strike. The resolutions adopt
ed by the Scranton convention were
mailed TO all the coal companies and
individual operators They an bore
the seal of the United Mine Workcrs'
organization, and there was q request
that a prompt reply to the communioa-
tion would be thankfully received. Tho
communication still remains on the
desks OF some of the coal companies,
unopened. The reason for this Is that
some of the operators do not want 10
commit themselves in any way as
recognizing the miners union.
To enter into any negotiations with
the officers Of the organization would,
ia the opinion Of the operators. be an
admission that the operators recognized
the union. One operator said; once we
enter into correspondence with the
United Mine Workers we arc going 10
have the same trouble the operators IN
the bituminOus region have. There
will be nothing but correspondence AL
the time. and the owners Of mine viii

that Mr.. Lathrop was out Of town. The
supposition is that he is in New York

The strikers here profess not to be

obstruct them, but they drove them off
with the butts Of their carbines. and

Inouye then, having sent the sappers
back, put together little train of chips

TO SUCCEED THE G. A. r.
New Organization Formed to Per
petuate the Present One.

New Organization Formed to Per-
petuate the Present One.
Growing out of the last great en-
campment of the century will be per-
manent national organization which
will remain to perpetuate the memory
of the Grand Army Of the Republic
long after the last veteran has passed
away. The new organization, accord
ing to a Chicago dispatch to the New
York Times, Is to be known as the Ma
tional Association Of Associated Men,
bers Of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie and Is due to the farreaching influ-
ence of the gatherings and reunions of
the encampment. Behind the plans for
the association are the Columbia post
of Chicago, the Kitchining post of Bos-
ton and the Detroit posts. All these
have auxiliary organizations, and cred
1t for the idea Of national body Is due
to Hickman Seaman, the president Of
the Columbia post auxiliary.
These auxiliaries have been in exist
ence for several years and were organ
lied primarily as social aids for the
Grand Army of the Republic posts to
which they were attached. They have
always been in evidence at banquets,
reunions, campflres and gatherings Of
every kind In which the old soldiers
participated.
President Seaman and the Columbia
post of Chicago have been thinking of
this organization for some time, and at
a meeting of the auXiliaries in the
headquarters of Columbia post In the
Grand Pacific hotel In Chicago the
other day Mr. Scanlan presented his
plans. Members Of the Detroit and
Boston auXlliaries will communicate
with each Of the eastern posts and adj
wise the formation of an auxiliary, the
local organization to become an arm of
the national association. The posts of
the west and southwest are left for Mr..
Seaman and his aids to organize.
