been just fair. showing a decrease of 500
compared with the same time last week
and an increase OF only about 100 over the
corresponding time year ago. The receipts
to-day were Just about the same as a year

all regular local buyers in the field, but
there was not much inquiry from outside
sources. On account of the continued scar

the offerings that answered the require

steady to strong prices. Sales of strictly
good steers were generally considered about
$50 higher than the beginning OF the week.

American Method of Taxing Property
for Public Improvement.

New York, Oct. 22.-Glasgow, ever
alert in taking up the progressive is
sues of municipal government, is lead
ing the way toward a new system of
taxation of land values in conformity
with the American pratice, cables the
London correspondent of the Tribune.
The reformers of that town have as-.o-
Gated for a long period a special assess
ment plan by which portion of the ex
pense OF local. Improvement can be
charged against the property directly
benefited. This principle. in common
use in America, is unknown in England
and London progressives also have IA
vored a betterment in the present prin
ciDle and have urged the necessity for
taxing ground rents and unoccupied
land
An important conference summoned
by the corporation of Glasgow has been
held to consider a recommendation to
parliament for subjecting the taxation
of land-values now exempt. A COM
mittee was appointed for taking direc
ton of the movement.
The proposed changes are the natural
sequel to the steady increase in the ex-
pense of local government which has
fallen exclusively on the tenants, IN
built areas not being rated at all. and
the improvements being ordinary out of
the ordinary rates based upon rental
values.

WORK At MINES.
Thousands Return and Prepare
for General Resumption.

Wiikesbarre. Pa. Oct 22-Thousands of
men began work today, repairing the
mines and placing the colieries in coltdi-
ton for the general resumption of coal
mining which viii take place throughout
the anthracite region tomorrow Those
men who are directly engaged in cuttinl,
and handling coal viii not under the iii
recton of the convention return to the
mines until tomorrow. While there were
thousands Of men who were able to again
begin earning their daily bread today
there were hundreds who were disappoint-
ed when they applied to the superintend-
ents of the collieries where they were for
merly employed. These were principally
steam men, engineers. firemen and pump
runners who struck on June for an
eiSht-hour day and also to help the min
ers win their battle. These men wanted
their old places back but in many instances
the company officials refused to discharge
those who stood by them during the
strike. There were many in the Wyom-
ing valley, however, who were fortunate
enough to find employment. The company
officials maintain that they will not dis
eliminate against union or non-Nnion men
and that work will be given all when there
are vacancies.
During the strike the companies were
compelled to employ many incompetent
men to help keep the mines free from wa
ter or from squeezing" as a result of the
lack of proper timbering.
The strikers feel that the majority of
these workmen will gradually be dismiss
ed and the more competent men engaged.
A mine worker who came into the union
headquarters from South Wilkesbarre to-
day said:
THE superintendent are turning down
good many men on the ground that they
are not needed This is only a bluff
and they win be glad to get our men in
a day two. The workmen they have are
in most cases green and won't be tolerated
about the cOllieries when the miners begin
working full time to catch up with the
demand for coal. The companies will not
take the risk of having men killed or
mines wrecked through the mistake of
some new men,
Although the strike is over. the path OF
the non-union workmen is still a thorny
one. They are disliked by the unionists
and it is not expected the relations be-
tween them will be improved when they
get into the mines together. Reports were
received here today that scores of the
non-union men have given up their posi-
tions and are leaving the region.
President Mitchell today began the work
of preparing the miners side of the case
for presentation TO the arbitration COM
mission. He will he the leading represent
tative of the workmen before the tribunal
and will gather around him such experts
in anthracite mining as viii be necessary
TO properly present his case to the com
mission. He said today he did not know
when he would make his first appearance
before the commission.
