FIREMEN ORDERED BACK.
A Question of 10000 Miners
Against 1,S0O Firemen.


Scranton, Pa, July 1S.-The execu-
tive board of district No. /. United
Mine Workers of America, in special
session here this afternoon, adopted a
resolution providing that all stationary
firemen, members of the mine workers
organization, who have quit work be-
cause of the strike of the International
shall be ordered back at once to work
by District President Nichols. Many
of these men had already deserted to
join their trades organization. This
action clearly defines the position of
the United Mine Workers and empha-
sizes the decision of Monday, that
there will be no sympathy strike or
dered.
The officers of District No. 3 Tonight
also expressed themselves as believing
the strike to be i'll advised.
The operators think this is severe
blow to the men on strike, and one
from which they cannot recover. The
strikers displayed some feeling over the
action of the miners but claim that it
will not affect them much as only a
few firemen belong to the United Mine
Workers. The great majority of them
say they are members of a separate
organization, the Stationary Firemen S
Association. 1t would seem that set
tlement of the strike now rests with
the mine employees themselves and not
with the operators. The UIted Mine
| Workers have apparently dec .dIeI for
one policy and the stationary engineers
another. There are 10000 mines Inr the
| Wyoming and Lackawanna region and
only about 1900 irrmcn. If the coal
companies can secure enough firenen

| from starting ua their colher:es.
Engineers stand by Firemen.
The hoisting engineers, at a meeting
| in this city to-day, voted to stand
with the ffremen in their struggle; and
| engineers employed at coleries where
| non-union men are at work We're re-
| quested to quit their posts. At the
| offices of the Susequehanna Coal Com
pany it was stated that nearly all their
| firemen had returned to work ana that
they were able to run their colleries in
| good shape to-day. They expect to
resume work at their Glen Lyon mines
| to- morrow
An official statement was issued from
| the headquarters of the striking fire
men this evening to the effect that the
situation looks very favorable, reports
from all parts of the state showing the
men holding firm and the ranks being
| increased gradually.

ment of public money, bribery, perjury
or other infamous crime shall be ell
gible to the Legislature or capable OF

Mr.. Watts of Montgomery, moved to
amend by providing that no negro shall
hold any office in the state. Consider
able debate followed.
The amendment was ordered printed
and laid over so that members can
have time to think it over.
An important change was made in
the appropriating power of the Legis-
lature. 1t is to make appropriations for
four years, but cannot appropriate
more than the estimate of receipts for
those four years, as made by the Gov
ernor and auditor. This radical meas
ure was opposed vigorously by a mi
