POLICE MAGISTRATES.
1t I Proposed to Amend the AL
worth Ordinance so as to Give
One the Bulk of the Work.

The ordinance introduced ON Thurs
day night by Common Councilman H..
). Alworth, establishing police magis-
terial districts and creating the offices
of five police magistrates, will un-
doubtedly be very much amended. 1t
is known that if it is passed in it's
present form il will not meet with the
approval of Recorder Moir
1t is proposed to amend the ordi-
nance so as to provide for an entire
Encouragement of the districts. The
ordinance in it's present form provides
for the following districts:
FiIst district-First. Second, Third and Tir.
tecnth wards.
Second disrict-Eighth, Fourteenth, Eighteenth
and sixth wards.
Third dstrict--Fomth, Fifth, Fifteenth ami
Twcniy y.flst wards.
Fourth dstrict-Elcyenth, Twelfth, Nineteenth
and Twentieth wards.
Fifth diStrict--Seyenth, Ninth, sixteenth Ser'
entocnth and Tenth wards.
1t is held that the central part of
the city, in which the largest number
and most important arrests are made,
should be all included in one district.
1t is proposed to include in such dis
teenth and Ninth wards and to lhave
the presiding magistrate hold court in
the Municipal building. Inasmuch as
this magistrate would issue all the
warrants which the police would re-
quire for special arrests, it is believed
by those who favor amending the or
dirGnce, that his salary should be
fixed at $1,000 year.
Mr.. Alworth's ordinance fixes Il uni
form salary of $500 for each of the
five magistrates. The First, Second
Third and Thirteenth wards would be
left, according to this plan, the same
as in the original ordinance, COM
prising one district, and the salary of
the magistrate would be fixed at $500.
The West Scranton district is plan
ned to include the Fourth, Fifth.
Twenty-first, Sixth. Eighteenth and
Fifteenth wards, and to fix the magis-
trate's salary at $500 year.
The seventh, Seventeenth and Tenth
wards would be included in a fourth
district. and the Eleventh, Twelfth,
Nineteenth and Twentieth wards in a
fifth. 1t is proposed to make the sal.
airy Of the magistrates of these dis
tricts $3.50 each per year. on account of
the comparatively small number of ar
rests made in these parts of the city.
With the salary of one magistrate to
be fixed at $1,000 a year. of two at $500
81 year, and of the two others at $3.50
year. the total appropriation would
need to he only 5000. the same as
provided by the Alworth ordinance.
in Allegheny, while there are five
police magistrates, as provided by law,
only one Of them does any regular
work. He has judicial supervision
over district comprising the main
portion of the city, and receives a
salary of $500 a year. The district ;
| of the other magistrates COMPRISE only
| one or two wards each. and these
| magistrates receive only $50 "a wear.

Fully five hundred girls, represcnt-
ing the striking hard and soft SIR
workers of the SauQuiot SILK MILL met
yesterday afternoon at Carpenters
hall, and by an almost unanimous vote
decided to return 70 work on no wage
scale save that offered to Superin-
tcndcnt Davis, of the Snuquoit, at the
beginning of the strike.
The meeting was presided over by
Miss Jennie NIaloney and Miss Mary
Manning. presidents of the hard and
soft silk workers. Committees from
each department of the mill made re-
ports. in which they brought before
the meeting minor grievances enter
tanned by them, and these will all be
embodied in the statement entrusted
to the board of arbitration, providing.
of course, this mode Of settlement will
be finally decided upon.
This is doubtful, however. rs the at
titude taken upon the matter by super
intendent Davis, of the Sauquoit mill,
upon whose decision the whole situa-
ton centcrs, is feared to be hostile to
arbitration. =. j. Mulherin, of this
city. who was asked by National Com
| mitteeman Dilcher, of the Mine Work
ers. to act as a mediator between the
strikers and employers. telegraphed
| superintendent Davis, advising u set
| tlement, and the letter he received was
as follows:
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1901-03-16

Jersey girls receive for doing a much
finer grade of work.
AT any rate. we can do nothing on
the arbitration question until the re-
turn of Valentine Bliss and Superin-
tendent Davis from the South. We are
prepared to do tho fair thing by our
help, and indeed ! think we have al
ways done this. Excellent proof OF my
assertion is the fact that our girls were
the last ones to go out, and then only
struck, l think, out of sympathy with
the employees of the other mills"
The strikers deny that they ask tho
same wages az the Paterson mill girls.
and declare that this clause of the
resolutions passed by the executive
committee was misstatcment. \
meeting will be held of the Klotz mill
strikers Tuesday night. at which a
scale will be drawn up.
