Water for Natives.
Rear Admiral Royal b. Bradford, chief
OF the Bureau Of Equipment, who showed
in the Spanish war that he was a re-
sourceful, thoughtful officer, demonstrated
again yesterday that he was alive TO the
requirements of an emergency by sug-
gesting TO Secretary Moody that fresh
water for drinking purposes be sent to
Martinique. He not only made this sug-
gestion. but offered TO furnish the means
10 carry It out. His idea will be laid be-
fore the President and the Cabinet by
Secretary Moody today, when the relief
plans will be completed. Admiral Brad
ford's suggestion was embodied in the
following memorandum OF Secretary
Moody.

Lackawanna region, with the exception of
three or four, this afternoon elected their
delegates TO the Hazleton convention, and
in nearly every instance they were in
structed. The Diamond local. in the heart
OF the city, which selected two men with
four votes, instructed them not to favor
a strike.
There were a number OF others that fol-
lowed this lead. but Il is thought at
this hour that the vote largely favors
strike, and that If District No. ] has the
say the convention ON Wednesday will de-
clare in favor of a ie-up.
II is now an open secret here that Pres
ident Mitchell does not favor a general
strike at this time, that President Mich
have been sharp words between the two
leaders in consequence.
-Days-a-Wee Plan.
1t is Mitchell's belief that better plan,
and one that would not seriously affect
the men, would be the hree-days- a week
plan, which would curtail production. The
opposition say that this would prove a
mistake; that II would mean an increase
in the price OF coal, which would be felt
by the common people. and that this
would react against the United Mine
Workers.
AS was expected, every colliery was
idle in the Lackawanna region today, the
operators not making any effort to start
up the breakers. There has been a re-
port that the companies would try to keep
the washeries going, but this proved un-
true. They were as silent as the mines.
