The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1902-06-19

When the first dispatches came yes
.erlay announcing t!A: a Joint con.en.
tion Of miners was to be held TO pass
upon the question Of falling out the soft
coal men, the opera tors representatives,
here, viewed 1t solely as a last desperate
effort of the Mine Workers leaders to
strike an effective blow.
When the later dispatches came with
the news that the convention was fixed
for a month hence. shc company's men
underwent a sudden and decided change
of view. The fact that the date Of the
convention was set SO far IN the future
was interpreted to mean that the move
is nothing more than an effort to buoy
up the spirits os the strikers by giving
them something to look forward to.
One superintendent said:
'At first [ thought it meant that as
surances had been received from the
soft coal regions that enough votes
could be mustered to declare for gen.
eral strike. When. however. the word
came that the convention is not to be
held until July II, 1t was made very
plain, to my way Of thinking, that such
assurances were wanting, and that the
call was nothing more or less than
move to discourage the operators and
encourage the strikers. The Mine
Workers leaders, you know, cannot re-
main idle. TREY must be doing some
thing aggressive, or the rank and file
will lose heart. This call for a joint
convention Is simply one Of any num-
Der Of things they might be expected to
do to give the strikers heart. ] do not
believe the soft coal men will agree to
violate their contracts to join in strike
which they will realize. a month hence.
ii they do not now, is a hopeless
struggle"

THE MAGAZINES

Municipal journal and Engineer contains
some very Interesting matter touching mu-
nicipal needs and remedies, for inefficient gov
ernment and corruption in departments and
methods. Professor Bachi of Turin, Italy.
contributes paper showing the progress OF
the multiplication Of public services In that
country. He gives an outline OF proposed
national municipal code for assumption by
cities of control over waterworks, lighting
plants, tramways, electric motive power
plants, telephones, bakeries. disposal Of ref
use, sewer construction, baths, slaughter
houses, and rules for the management Of
municipal services. There is paper on gas
rates in the United States, and one giving
the pay Of patrolmen in various cities. Mr..
Bayles' illustrated paper on 1.-The Ways Of
Berlin Firemen," shows that while that de-
partment has some advantages over our
system, although slow in movement when an
alarm is sounded, there Is too much official
formality gone through with before the fire is
attacked. There is careful investigation
into the origin of a fire, and, If caused by
carelessness, the careless party has TO foot
the whole expense to the city caused by the
fire, besides being fined 800 marks for vio-
lating the fire ordinance. New York: ~

RUSH THE SMELLING EXTENSION

Minneapolis has dallied with the Fort
Smelling connection plan long enough.
The time has come for action, and rapid
action, too. :
1t Is highly important that the city en-
joy direct rapid transit connection with
Fort Smelling during the rebuilding and
expansion of the fort, as we'll as after
ward Minneapolis workmen, Minneapo
lis contractors, Minneapolis merchants,
are vitality interested in this matter.
Everybody knows that some day or
other such line will be built. What Is
wanted is one now. The patronage OF the
workers at the fort IS as important as
that of the soldiers they are making room
for. It is positively ridiculous to think
of the city of Minneapolis having no street
railway connection with such an i'm
portant suburb as Fort Smelling. The
street railway management is chiefly to
blame. Had it wished for such line, it
would have found way to reach the fort
long ago.
Now if the people who are contributing
to the net profits the company is heaping
up at the rate of 81, 200, 900 annually on not
little watered stock will insist on the
extension the company will simply have
to build 1t. o." - -~'% - !
Of less, but still great, Importance is
the construction of fine wagon road to
the fort. The city has fairly good roads
up to the reservation. Across the reser-
vation we suppose the government will
have to make the required improvement.
1t should be part Of the general plan of
Fort Smelling expansion to build fine
military road connecting with the city
streets. The delivery of supplies from the
city in speedy and satisfactory manner
| will make good roads necessity.
This project Of communication with
| Fort Smelling is very live one. Here is
| a good chance to find out whether Min
| neapols retains any Of the. old public
| spirit which knew mighty little about the
word cant" but went out and got what
it wanted.

The Time Elements of the Orestean
Tr1logy. By Jonathan Bayley Browder,
M. A. A Thesis Submitted for the Degree Of
Doctor Of Philosophy, University of Wiscon-
sin. =, Madison, Wis.,: University Bulletin,
This is very careful, scholarly and in
teresting study Of Aeschylus' story of Orestes
in the "Agamemnon," the "Choephori," and
the "Eumenides," which complete as sep
arate plays are essential parts of dramatic
whole, somewhat as Zoia's trilogies are
Among scholars ancieptly and up to the pres
ent time, there has been a question as to
the length of time which elapsed between the
death of Agamemnon and the return OF
Orestes,. the author showing that while
Orestes arrived at Delphi from Argos ap-
parently with the blood of his slain mother
still on his hands, his purifcatory wanderngs
must have taken many months, as in his vim
dication Of his purity by sacrifcial atonement,
he says Long since have / this expiation
done," and he therefore did not 60 direct
to Athens but travelled far and wide for self
publication and atonement The author in
the course of his demonstration, gives fine
analysis of the trilogy. He extends the time
properly, showing that the newly shed blood
stains are to be regarded symbolically and
only for the eyes OF the Furies.

MUNICIPAL PROBLEMS

The League of American Municipalities
will meet in annual session at Grand Rap
ids, Mich, next Wednesday, Aug. 81, to
discuss municipal problems.
This league was organized in 1897 to
study all questions involved in municipal
administration, in order to give the best
public service In every department and
at the lowest cost to taxpayers. The
league Is composed Of city officials,
mayors, health officers, fire wardens, city
engineers, controllers, public works COM
missioners, police commissioners, ETC.. etc.
OF course, some city officials would feel
like fish out of their native element at
gathering Of municipal reformers like this,
and 1t is not likely that there will be any
"big mitt" men there or official protec-
tors and propagators of vice and crime at
the Grand Rapids meeting " !
| The betterment of municipal conditions,
the acquisition Of the best and most eco
nomical service for the public, progressive
and efficient administration, is only pos
sible in the absence Of the machine. A
city in which the machine is set up and a.
community whose good citizens" are too
deplorably timid to grid on the armor and

| once, and her crusading wounded, but did
| not, kill the dragon. Her "good citizens
are just now anxiously waiting to see If
| the apparently headless Tammany will
secure another Croker or Kelly to rule
| the machine and work it for the best in
| terests of Tammany. Philadelphia is a
| triae more the victim of the machine than
New York. Her good citizens are just
now trying to devise an effective reform
movement which will rid them of padded

open. bribery, speak .easies, the ambush
| ing machine service of f1remen and police
men at the voting booths,%: They have "a
citizens committee in Philadelphia, too,
earnestly trying to smash the machine.
In these days, when many are charging
vigorously upon abuses which affect labor
and are unfurling the banner of social
service and social reform to uplift labor
generally, to rational and intelligent
and progressive existence; when enthus-
lasts are, with searchlights, hunting for
i the ulcers and deformities Of humanity to
remove them In the name of the brother
! hood of man-with all this laudation and
activity touching social service which is
i turning the minds OF men more and more
