NOT PUTTING LIGHTS
AROUND COLLIERIES
Superintendent Loomis Denies a
Story That Has Been Going the
Observation-Disclosures Are Now
Working Full Time.

A Tribune man interviewed Superin
tendent Loomis yesterday afternoon,
with reference to the printed report
that the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western company is Placing lights
about its collieries for the purpose of
affording light in the event of q
strike, when there Is possibility OF acts
of vandalism being committed after
dark.
The only lights being put in place
are at the Diamond washery, and
these were ordered long before the
strike was ever thought of, says Su-
perintendent Loomis. Electric lights
have been in general use at many of
the collieries for long time, and such
an idea has never been thought of by
the officials as is rumored. Regarding
the statement published in an after
noon paper that the company's bosses
went around to all of the repair men
and asked them If they would act as
deputies in the event Of strike, and
that two hundred men employed at
| the car shops have expressed their
| willingness to act as deputies, Mr..
| Loomls says there is absolutely no
| truth in such statements.
The Lackawanna colleries are all
| working full time nine hours a day,
| and six days a week. The company
| employs upwards of $4,000 men and
| boys inside and outside the mines.
and claim that the miners average
| over $50 a month when they work full
| time. The company operates nine
| teen collieries and two washeries of
their own, besides about ten other col
| lieries owned by individual operators.
| over $500,000 are paid out each month
| in wages to mine workers in Scranton
| alone by the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western company, and over $500,
900 in royalties, coal vouchers and pay
| rolls. This enormous amount OF
money passes through the banks and
business houses of Scranton every
month, and If a strike is ordered il
will naturally be cut Off.
Regarding the alleged meeting Of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
directors announced for tomorrow, Su.
perintendent Loomis says there is nc
truth in the rumor: 1t has beer
Stated that the directors would meet
to consider the demands of the Lacka.
wanna union for an increase of 10 pei
cent. THE position Of the company IL
this matter is already known" the
superintendent said, land the grant.
ing of such a demand is entirely ou
of the question"
When asked If the Coilieries would
be shut down in the event OF a strike
Mr. Loomis stated that they will bt
operated as long as there are men tC
work them and that there will be worl
for those who want TO work TIL,
trouble at the Hallstead mine at Dur
yea was due to misunderstanding
and as soon as an explanation wa!
made to the men they resumed work
