IN the greatest demand. People live in
doors more in the winter than the sum-
mer. with buying season on, the
country generally prosperous, the end
ing of the strike and the sudden float
ing OF a big amount of new money that
will come with the recurrence OF the
miners pay days, there ought to be a
volume of business this winter unprece-
dented in the history of the city.
Merchants who have allowed their
stocks to become depleted can now with
confidence begin to replenish them
Those OF us who kept stocked up during
the strike experienced little of the i'll
consequences that came to others.
Buyers who had been dealing with sub
urban stores which practically shut up
shop, or city stores which failed to
keep stocked up. came to the stores
which did keep stocked up. Scranton
merchants. for the most part, continued
to do business during the strike just as
IL there was no strike, and as a conse-
quence the commercial agencies report
a business in the central city quite as
big as any preceding year. 1T is my
firm opinion that Scranton business
men will soon be able to forget the
strained conditions through which we
have just passed
LABOR LEADERS COMMENTS.
Hugh Frayne. state president of the
American Federation of Labor, dealt
as follows with the possibilities of the
future effect of the arbitral ending of
the coal strike:
"fo my mind the ending of the coal
strike marks an epoch in strike his
tory. The fact that the greatest indus
trial conflict in the worlds history can
beas it almost surely will be-con-
cluded by arbitration. is an unanswer
able argument in favor Of the claim OF
trades unionists that arbitration is a
practical and effective method of ad-
iusting differences between employer
and employed. This community, | be-
lieve. will not be troubled soon agai
by a strike of any moment. The
miners strike has had a strong ten
dency TO make organized capital and
organized labor more respectful of each
others powers The attempt of capi-
tai to completely ignore organized la
bor as instanced in the opera tors con-
duct, and their having to recede from
their oft reiterated position, is an as
surance that such a thing is not likely
to occur again.
only one strike is now on in these
parts. That is the long -drawn-ou
strike OF the Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners. ] am hopeful that the
adoption of arbitration as a means OF
settling the miners strike will have its
effect in bringing about settlement
of the carpenters strike by similar
means. AS one who is in close touch
with labor unionism. | will give it as
my firm opinion that with fair arbitra-
tion recognized by the employer as
medium of settlement in all disputes
between employer and employe. we will
not be called upon again to witness
another national calamity, such as is
now happily drawing to an end"

"The Dancing Missionary"

Among the features of the bill at the
Dixie theater this week, probably none
have attracted more attention than the
sketch entitled "'rhe Dancing Mission

In this act the dancing of Walt Terry is
certainly in the first class, and the novel
sketch creates much merriment. Esther
Wallace who is seen in one of her quaint
and original musical acts has also won
much applause during the week.

CITY OF SCRANTON.
NO LONGER DEPENDENT

A>o lsONNrEh
There is no question but that Scran-
ton has. during the past ten years,
grown away from its dependency upon
the operation of the mines, until, 1t is
believed that at this time not more
than one-third of its population exists
principally through their operation.
1t is "A notable fact that its diversi-
fled industries. its improvements Of
various character and the constructio
of II new railroad and improvements on
old ones have provided many of the
enforced idlers with occupation and
wages and this is seen in the main-
tenance of the volume of trade. par
ticulary in the shopping district or
central city.
= Some Of the large retail, houses re-
port sales for the past five and one
half months in excess of the same per-
od of 1901, although that year is said
to have been the best in the history OF
Scranton. This is attributed to several
causes. the most potent one being,
probably, the practical discontnuance
of a number Of outlying stores and the
reduction of stocks in others to a point
where the trade could not be readily
supplied, and it therefore found its way
to the central city.
Notwithstanding these favorable
conditions merchants generally are
glad of the good prospects of the end
ing of the present strike. and should
work be resumed promptly it is more
than likely that the volume of busi.
ness for the next few months will sur
pass even that Of 1901
Said c. $. Seamans, secretary of the
board of trade:
I'm common with the rest of man
kind, I rejoice in the settlement of the
coal strike. 1t has been severe, to be
sure. but out of it all I believe good
will come to our city and her people.
1t has demonstrated as nothing else
could have done. the fact that we are
no longer entirely dependent upon the
mining of coal. Prosperity is still with
us, and we are justly entitled to "A

Is in position to- speak intelligently
of Scranton's industrial affairs:
MIR. LoGAN's VIEWS.
Time was. in the history of the older
merchants of Scranton, when the sug-
gestion of strike by the anthracite
miners brought alarm and fear of re-
suits, and the possible contingency. of
strike lasting five and one-huf months
would have brought CONSERVATION to
the majority of them. But that time.
Judging from late experience has gone
and in its place has come a confidence
of the ability of the average merchant
to withstand almost any crisis which
might evolve from the coal trade
The strike of 1900 did not find them
unprepared and the lesson of past
years was sufficiently well remembered
to keep them ready for the threatened
strike of 1902. Following. as it did, a
year of prosperous business, 1t found
them with reduced stocks. small liabil-
ity accounts, and, owing to the change
in the system of wage payments in
better condition to withstand long
struggle.
Fortunately the people who became
idle were as we'll equipped for the
struggle as the merchants themselves,
and this has been exemplfied in many
ways Witness the very slight. If any,
reduction in savings accounts in banks
and the absence of actual suffering
among the strikers themselves.
The statistics sub-ioined. covering
the period between May / and Oct. ID
for the years 1900, 1901 and 1902, are
interesting in that they show but one
failure for 1902 tnan for the preceding
wear:
