Wright, the umpire to whom was re- ferred the five disputes between the operat tors and miners representatives on the board of conciliation, appointed under the provisions of the anthracite mine strike commission. filed his find- ings to-day with T. D. Nichols, secre- tary of the board. In dealing with the question of the employers right to dis charge men for any cause. other than connection with a labor union, Umpire Wright agrees wholly with the conten- tions of the operators representatives and declares that she right of an em- ployer to discharge without giving the cause Of the discharge is sustained by the award Of the commission. As to the rockmen's dispute the umpire says they do not come under the award. The complaint of Thomas Tanner is not sus- tained in regard to the allegations of discrimination on the part of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation company and Coxe btOtueTS cS Co. f1e SdNS lildL these companies should take back old men irl- stead of putting on new men in all cases where the old men are competent and have not been convicted or are not awaiting trial for crime committed dur ing the strike. The umDire's findings covers twenty-five pages of typewriter paper.
 < The board has now disposed of about thirty disputes. Two more questions on which it Is deadloeked will be sub- mitted to Umpire Wright.

Lakes and in Canada and which is capitalized at more than s1oO,0o0,0o0, will be involved in litigation with some of it's stockholders now seems inevit-3 able. These stockholders, headed by E. Clarence Miller. a banker of this city, want to know the names, subscriptions and details of the $11, 900 underwrit- ing stock syndicate. They claim that over $7,0OO,0oO of these subscriptions are unpaid. Counsel for the stockholders last week threatened to bring manda- mus proceedings and force the company to show it's books On Saturday an agreement was reached by which coun- sel for the stockholders were given to understand that the books Of the com pany were open for their inspection. When counsel for the stockholders called at the company's office to-day they were told that the books had been removed to Sault Ste. Marie, Canada.
 Counsel for the complaining stock holders will now begin suit against the company and if they cannot reach the books through the courts of the United States, they declare they will apply to the Canadian courts.

The weather was changeable through out the day. When the match began at H9:S0 o'clock heavy clouds overhung the range. The air was damp and chilly throughout the firing at the 200-yards stage, drizzling rain making things decidedly uncomfortable, The condi- tions were threatening during the work at 800 yards, but the. rain held off There was slight rain while the firing at 500 yards was on. Soon after the work of the day was ended a steady rain fell.
 By far the prettiest work to-day was accomplished by Private F. c. Wilson, of the Georgia team He was the last man to shoot, and in almost total dark ness succeeded in attaining total of 42 out of possible 50 at 600 yards. Dardingkeller, of New York, and Smith and Lieutenant Benedict, both of Ohio, each succeeded in scoring 49 out of a possible 50 at 800 yards. The cavalry team of the army is using the service carbine, and therefore. under the rules, received an allowance of twelve points at 600 yards The teams actual score was 412, but the allowance raised it to 424.
 The firing tomorrow at the S00.yards stage of the match will begin promptly at 8 o'clock and before nightfall the re suits will be known.
