They were unsuccessful and Mr. Wander

Finally he learned that yard in the Man

and he made for that place in his automo-
bile. When he arrived he mot the man

II was the first general meeting Of coal
dealers for several months. s. d. Curtis OF
Curtis 4 Rlaisdell, presided and altogether
about one hundred and twenty-five dealers
were present.
There WAS a long discussion a. to the
question Of reducing the price Of coal. A
number Of the dealers said that practically
there was no store of coal and to lower
prices would mean to invite a demand that
could not be supplied. Those who were in
favor OF lowering prices carried the day.
II was then decided az the sentiment vi the
meeting that as soon as mining il resumed
and coal begins to arrive further reuuct ion
TO Si2 ton should take place. The price
will be reduced again when the supply be-
comes larger, but il was said that 1t prob
ably would not 60 be low 81 ton this win

INFERNiL MACHINE FOUND
On Property Of Man Who Had Aroused
ANGER OF Strikers.

SCRANTON, Pa, Oct. I7.-An Internal
machine. consisting Of ten sticks OF giant
powder, three sacks of black powder and
two dynamite cartridges. with fuse, was
discovered at Grassy Island this morning
on the property Of Dominick Bartica.
The discovery was made by several sol
diers from the Thirteenth Regiment, in
command Of Lieut.. Breig. The Lieutenant
with his men escorted Bartica to his prop
erty to afford him protection while he
boa rdeo it up. his tenants having recently
left the place. While recommending. the
soldiers found the Internal machine, which
was taken to the headquarters Of the reRi-
ment and examined by Private Newton.
The fuse was partly burned, but the sx-
plosiyes had not been reached by the spark
Col. Watres had q stick of the giant powder
tested and found 1t to be the real thing.
II the machine had exploded it would have
blown up good part Of Grassy Island.
Five men who are suspect ID of knowing
something about the Internal machine have
been arrested.
Bartioa had excited the anger Of the
strikers by closing upa store that he was
conducting, because the ~ rke had ruined
his business, and going TO work at the mines.

They want Assurance That They'll Get
work Pefere They Fellow Mitchell.

WMHEs-BARRE. Pa, Oct. l7.-Presdent
Mitchell realizes that when he faces the
convention OF the mine workers In the
Nesbitt Theatre here on Monday he will
be asked pertinenty why it is that all the
strikers will not get their former places
and why union men will be required TO
work beside non-union workers.
These ara two questions which, il is now
known, are TO create tho most discussion
AZ tire convention, and several Of the dele
gates who were elected tonight are pre-
pared 10 make a firm protest against ao-
cepting the arbitration proposition until
IL is definitely known that all the men will
get work.
President Mitchell would not discuss
the question to-day. Last night in his
message 10 President Roosevelt he said:
Il will recommend that all men now on
strike return to the positions and working
places formerly occupied by them"
Il have nothing more to say on the mat
ter than this" he said to-day.
The operators allow no doub, a. to their
intentions to exist. They say firmly that
the 1900 non-union men who are now
working will he retained; that there will
he no discrimination between the union and
non-union men; that they will take back all
the union men they need and put them in
the places they are best suited for. They
cannot say how many will not M taken
back.
Strike leaders were asked If this would
create trouble. One said Trouble? Yes;
and trouble in a bunch
District President Fahy said: Il pass
the whole thing up to the convention
President Duny would say nothing.
Another leader said: "The union will
take care Of the men who do not get work
They viii not be deserted"
The strike leaders are taking a chance on
the proposition and they are unable 10 see
the end. They will send the men back to
work and they hope the situation will then
| adjust itself. How, they will not say. but
they believe some OF the non union men will
60 away and make places for the strikers
and they believe the operators will want 10
many men In the rush to mine coal that there
will be places for all.
The fact Is, the operators will want less
than they had before the strike. II will
take four weeks to get 90 per cent. Of the
mines working, At tho end of two weeks
not more than rs per cent. will be producing
coal. Meanwhile the strikers must wait OF
take their chances. The non-union mon
now at work have the best places, the rich
est chambers. They will retain them. The
first strikers 10 get back will have the next
best, and those who are not able to return
until the last will get the small potatoes or
no work.

TAMAoUA, Pa, Oct. l7.--All the southern
az which delegates were elected TO attend
the Wilkes. Barre convention. The ofticer-
of the locals will not make a statement as
to how the delegates were instructed, but
the opinion prevails that a majority will
vote to accept the proposition Of the opera
tors aud return to work.
The question as TO how the operators will
proceed in regard TO reinstating men is
one, in which the strikers. especially the
leaders. are deeply Interested. In the
that there are now about ~ 600 non-union
men at work. Fully half this number were
not employed at the mines prior to the
opening OF the strike. This will mean
that between 5000 and 5000 men will find
that their places are filled when work is
again resumed at the mines.
Several individual operators have already
announced that they will not under any
circumstances discharge the men who are
working for them at present.
All the leaders of the nine workers say
that the convention at Wilkes Barre on
Monday will be a stormy one and that il
may be that the outcome will be that Mi
chell will he forced to resign. A move
ment IL said 10 be on foot TO force Mitchell
out and TO elect Nichols. the president
of District No. 1. in his place.
