Yesterdays rain apparently did not
dampen the ardor of the workers in
The Tribune's Educational Contest, as
seven made goodly additions to their
scores Albert Freedman, of Bellevue,
and C. w. Dorsey, of Scranton, made
the greatest gains, the former bringing
in 10 points and the latter Is. The
others who scored were j. A. Haven
strife, IL; William Cooper, 3; Maxwell
Shepherd, 81 Herbert Thompson, 2;
Homer Kresge, 1.
Although three of the contestants
added materially to their scores it did
not affect their standing in the main
table, but the days work caused con-
siderable changing about among the
leaders for the September prizes. Mr..
Havenstrite advanced from seventh to
fifth place, and Mr.. Dorsey and Mr..
Freedman make their first appearance
in the table. The race for the Sep
tember prizes Is becoming very inter-
esting, as but five points separate the
leaders for the four prizes offered for
the best work during the month.

of January, February and March. To
April wages no addition for the reason
that April coal will be sold at 80 cents
per ton off the winter prices. For
May coal an advance of 10 cents per
ton being made to the selling price, the
mine worker to get the benefit of this
in an addition of 2 per cent. to his

per cent, and in September 2 per cent,
making the addition in September 10
per cent, and this to remain every
month until April following, when the
10 per cent. would again be taken off

per month until the 10 per cent. is
again reached, and so continue.
WOULD SEEM EQUITABLE.
"If the coal operators can afford to
do this the plan would seem to be most
equitable and the mine workers would
be getting the full benefit Of the winter
prices on coal. When it is known that
this advance of 80 cents per ton ap-
plies only to prepared sizes, or sizes
above pea coal, which average only
about 60 per cent. of the output, and
also that anthracite coal is sold at the
mines on the basis Of Is per cent OF
tidewater prices, it will be readily seen
that the mine worker receives all that
comes from the advance on winter

The Democrats of the Second legis-
lative district, at a convention held at
the st. Charles hotel yesterday after
noon, nominated Fred j. Phillips. COM

hope that basis of settlement may soon
be found which will amicably adjust all
differences and avoid future conflicts.
The peace, welfare and prosperity of the
country depend upon harmonious rela-
tions existing between those who hire
and those who sell labor. The necessities
of all forms of industrial and commercial
enterprises acknowledge that a primary
condition of social contentment and bus-
ness activity is that capital and labor
shall work in concert and for each others
advantage.

SETTLEMENT OF THE
DEhN-HOMELL CASES
The Equity, Conspiracy and Orphans
Court Proceedings Are Salts
factorily Compromised.

The legal proceedings brought by
Mrs. Jennie Howell-Dean against her
brother, Franklin Howell, were ended
yesterday at a meeting Of the parties
and their attorneys in the law offices
Of O'Brien & Martin.
On this weeks equity list appeared
the case in which Mrs. Dean sought to
compel her brother to make an ac-
counting with reference to certain
property their father had left to them,
Franklin being named as the trustee
1t was alleged by Mrs. Dean in her bill
that her brother had squandered up
wards of $15O,OOO that belonged to her.
These charges were denied by Mr..
Howell. Then there was a conspiracy
case in which Mrs. Dean sued to re-
cover damages from her brother and
Thomas Bevan who she charged with
inspiring the lunacy proceedings
against her.
Proceedings We're also pending in the
orphans court where Mrs. Dean filed
III exceptions to the report of Franklin
Howell as the executor Of his fathers
estate.
In view of the unpleasant disclosures
that would follow a public trial of any
of these cases the parties got together
and compromised their differences in
way that Is highly satisfactory to both
sides and puts an end to the unpleasant
incidents that have followed so thickly
in the train of the sensational marriage
of Mrs. Dean.
Mr.. Howell was represented at the
settlement by Attorney M. ]. Martin
and Mrs. Dean by Attorneys I. II.

very often formed in the good fortune

NO SACRIFICE OF PRINCIPLE.
II have stated that no sacrifice OF
principle would result from an uncon-
ditional surrender Of the men at this
time. My reasons for this statement
are based on the presumption that
prosperity makes all men liberal, and
! have confidence that the mine owners
are not different from employers in
other lines OF trade and commerce.
There is beautiful precedent that
gives basis for this reasoning in the
action of the United States Steel COR
poration in the case of the >Amalga-
mated Steel Workers. when the latter,
after long and bitter contest, were
vanquished and overthrown, returned
TO work, We're most handsomely treat
ed TO voluntary advance in wages by
their high-minded victors, and today
they are enjoying the fruits for which
they fought-and lost. So. too, l be-
lieve that IL the mine workers return
to work, local grievances will be ad-
justed. When, the mines are put into
successful operation, some OF the heavy
losses resulting from the strike are met
and Il period OF prosperity is entered
upon, the mine workers may expect
treatment similar to that received by
the Amalgamated Steel Workers.
