AN UMpIRE's FINDINGS.
Carroll ID. Wright Declares an Employer
Has Right to Discharge q Man With
out Giving the Cause.

Scranton, Pa, Sept 9.-Carroll D.
Wright, the umpire to whom was re-
ferred the five disputes between the
operators and miners representatives
on the board of Cancellation appointed
under the provisions Of the anthracite
mine strike commission, fled his find
ings yesterday with T. D. Nichols, sec
rotary Of the board. In dealing with
the question of the employers right to
discharge men for any cause other than
of connection with labor union, UNI
pire Wright agrees wholly with the
contention Of the operators represent
atives and declares that the right Of
an employer to discharge without CIV
ing the cause Of the discharge is sus-
tanned by the award of the commission.
He says that the Lehigh Coal and Navi-
cation company and Coke Brothers &
Co. should take back old men instead
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
during the strike. The umpire's find
lngs covers 25 pages Of typewriting.

THE POSTAL CASES,
The Grand Jury at Washington Re-
turns Seven Indictments.
THEY ARE KEPT SECRET At PRESENT
II L. Expected That Arrests May Occur Do-
Dny-LeopoId Stern Located ut To-
y ronto-George Beavers surren-
ders to Authorities. .l

j Washington, Sept. 9.--After deliber-
ating for several weeks over q mass
of documents submitted by the post
ONCE inspectors the federal grand
jury in this city yesterday returned
seven indictments In postal cases, in
volving six different persons. All the
indictments were kept of the public
record and both the officials Of the dis
trict attorneys Office and of the post
Office department refused to discuss
names or details of the indictments
until the parties indicted are arrested.
The identity Of the indicted individu-
ais thus was left matter of conjec-
ture. It is expected that arrests will
occur to-day and that the post office
department will then have some an
nouncement to make. The grand jury's
action probably marks the beginning
of the end Of the investigations that
have been In progress since the middle
Of last March. Voluminous evidence
has been laid before the grand Jury as
the result Of the inquiry and, while
the present report Of the jury dis
poses Of most Of the cases, there yet
remains several cases to be passed up
on. When the latter are disposed of,
according to Postmaster General
Payne, the investigation, so far as the
work at Washington is concerned, will
be at an end for all practical pur-
poses. Several of the persons indicted |
yesterday live outside of Washington.
They will be arrested as soon as bench
warrants can be served.
Postmaster General Payne and
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow received word of the grand
)ury's action shortly after that body
reported and subsequently they had
long conference on the subject. Both
'fficials refused to divulge details pend
ng official notification of arrests.
Two other important events occurred
esterday in the postal inquiry. Leopold

from Baltimore before he
ould be arrested on an Indictment re-
urned. July 81 last, was located at To-
onto and the long delayed surrender

exation at the premature publication
his whereabouts on account of the

'onts the government and the posi-
llity Of his making good his escape
