Committee Named to Investigate the
Trackless Trolley System.
A regular meeting of the Board of
Trade was held last evening Post
master B. f. Davis presided. Hugh
Malloy reported the proposed improve
ments to the Public park as not being
agreeable to Mrs. Eckley B. Coke, but
that Mrs. Coke was willing to contribute
to beautifying the ground for the pur-
poses intended.
Mr.. NeuBurger thought a dance pa
vilion a necessity and desired that a
committee be appointed to wait on Mr..
Markle relative to procuring ground ad-
joining the park. The matter was dis
cussed by Messrs. Boyle, Geoppert and
Malloy, who advised the members not to
act too hasty, During the discussion
it was intimated that site for an ideal
pleasure ground has been found within
four minutes walk from the Municipal
building and which, so far as shade and
other advantages are concerned, will
thing lacking is the money to purchase
the ground outright, after which any
thing in the form of amusement could
be constructed.
A letter from General Agent Doddy,
of Scranton, of the Trackless Trolley
Company, was read, in which he offered
to demonstrate advantages, etc, of the
system. 1t was decided that com
mittee visit Scranton and investigate
thoroughly its merits The following
committee was named: S. j. NeuBur-

STRIKE THREAT
FADES AWAY
Miners Convention Adopts
Satisfactory Resolutions.
District Presidents Assured
of Recognition as Men,
bers of the Board of Con-
ciiation.

There will be no strike OF the anthra-
cite coal miners growing out of the Con-
ciliatlon Board controversy. The con-
vention of Mine Workers at Scranton
yesterday elected District Presidents
Nichols, Fahey and Dettrey by districts
and President Mitchell received assur-
ances from President Baer that this will
satisfy the operators that the miners
end OF the Cancellation Board has been
properly constituted.
President MITCHELL on the one hand,
In absolute control of the miners; Hon.
w. l.. Connell, on the other hand, In
close touch with the operators, and be-
tween them, as the communicating
medium, DR.. Charles P. Neall, sliding
scale commissioner and peace envoy of
very few hours the haze with which the
industrial horizon of the anthracite re-
gion has been shadowed for the past
month.
DIR. Neal found out what was the
most the one side would give and the
least the other side would take All
that remained to be done after this was
to have the operators as a body on the
one side and the miners as body on
the other formally agree to the tentative
propositions of their respective repre-
lop Jiot
ance telephone communication, and Mr..
Mitchell through the convention that
was awaiting his bidding, accomplished
this last step.
DR.. Neal went to and fro between
the respective representatives and the
direct result was the presentation OF a
set of resolutions at the opening OF yes
terdays session of the convention.
The resolutions indorse the appoint
ment of conciliators by the district
boards and deprecate the arrogant re-
fusal of the operators to carry out in a
broad, fair, liberal spirit the award Of
the Anthracite Coal Strike Commission. :"
The resolutions authorized the district
presidents "to represent as on the joint
board Of conciliation, and we hereby
authorize them to act as our representa-
tives in the adjudication of all disputes
growing out of the Interpretation or ap-
plication of the award of the Anthracite
Coal Strike Commission and in any
other way growing out of the relations
Of the employers and employed" The
executive boards were authorized to fill
by appointment any vacancies that may
take place in the miners membership
ON the board of concilation.
A delegate moved and another second
ed that the report of the committee on
resolutions be adopted. President
Mitchell asked II there were any re-
marks. but not word came in response.

Although the convention had indorsed
the appointment of the district presi-
dents as conclliators, President Mitchell
announced that the three districts
would next vote separately on the selec-
tion of representatives on the Board Of
Cancellation. While the delegates of
one district were voting those of the
other two districts remained silent.
The convention elected delegates by
districts to satisfy the operators who
believe that only In that way would
the requirements in the award of the
commission be complied with. 1t was
the conventions concession to the oper-
ators in the interests of peace.
Shortly after 2 o'clock President Nit
chell opened the afternoon session with
the announcement that the operators
would accept the district presidents as
conciliators. Tumultuous applause was
provoked by the announcement,
A large NUM- ber of grievances were
brought to the attention of the conven-
tion and they were referred to the con-
ciliators.
A resolution providing that John Nit
chel be authorized to represent the
miners before the Board of Cancellation
was adopted. A preamble to the resolu-
ton recited that under the award of the
commission the miners might select any
one they saw fit to act as their represen-
tves at the Cancellation Board hearings
In answer to an inquiry to one of the
delegates President Mitchell stated that
no increase had been forthcoming for
May under the provisions of the sliding
scale because the average price" of
coal had not advanced to So, although
the circular price was 81 60. He had
seen the figures, he said, and presumed
they were correct. The average price
had only gone up to 81 SO. The June
price, he thought, would reach 81. 62
and the miners would have per cent
increase coming to them.
In commenting on grievance pre-.
seu1eu ny ehRiuoers fTesluent MITCHELL
said:
''As far as l can learn some Of the en-
gineers onghtn't to get anything at all.
They were granted Sunday holiday by
the commission, yet they work the seven
days as formerly, so as to get an extra
days pay. One of the strongest cases
we had before the commission was that
of the engineers working seven days a
week the year around and twenty
four hour shift every two weeks. They
are doing us and themselves wrong by
not taking advantage of the day off"
The convention was brought to a
close with speech by President Mitch
ell, in which he urged the miners not to
lose interest In their union

At the Yorkvile Branch, on East Seventy
ninth street, while there was some interest
in books on oivics, as already noted, the usual
general decrease in reading appeared.
Says the librarian:
"The fact that we collected $500 in fines
from our readers the day after the election
shows that their home reading was neglected.
Now we circulate on an average fifty books
more during the evening than We did the
week before election"
In summing up the reports, 1t should first
be said that New York Is very bad city to
make general statements about. It can
probably be said with safety, however. that
the chief influence of election on reading
is to Lessen ii, especially In places where
political meetings and PROFESSIONS are fire.

due TO election is chiefly shown by increased

The indications are that when election
day approaches the average American
citizen does not seek to inform his own
mind by reading, but to induce others to
change theirs. The evidence of polit ical
activity among the foreign born population

I knew a man who thought he knew It ALL
He knew how earth became q rolling ball.
He knew the source and secret Of all life:
He also knew how Adam came to fall.
He knew the causes Of the glacial age.
And what II was that made the delugc rage.
He knew-in fact he knew most everything:
In his own mind he was earth's greatest sage
His knowl edge was OF such stupendous girth
II took In everything upon the earth
And In the heavens: but. most strange Of ali,
He didn't know thing OF real worth.
He knew where people go when they are dead.
He kn ew all vond ers over sung or said.
He knew the past and future: but for all
He didn't know enough to earn his bread.
He was 4 marvel OF omniscience.
He knew the secret Of the hence and whence.
He was bundle OF great theories:
The only thing he lacked was common sense.

POEMS WORTH READING.
Saint Augustine

Quaint old town by the sea
Under the Southern star,
sleepy with sun. to me
Dear as dream you are
The climbing tasmines bar
Your balconies with their green;
Ever you lure from afar
Fair Saint Augustine!
Ever you lure when the year
Over the northiand throws
A spell that Is white and drcar.
A mantle OF sleet and SHOWS:
Ever your sunsets rose,
Your waters shifting sheen.
Beckon the heart that knows
Fair Saint Augustine!
Strange are your narrow streets
With their dull, half Spanish air:
The palms. and the song that grects
The ear from the mock birds there:
The slave mart In the square:
And. high DER the drowsy scene.
The bells that sound 10 prayer
Fair Saint Augustine!
Down by the long sea wall
Fondly the lovers stroll;
The bell buoy sends It's call
In from the harbor sboal.
The old fort hears the roll
OF the tide where Its ramparts lean
Shell Of a far. .nown soul
Fair Saint Augustine!
Mcmoricd town by the sea.
Take what little Is mine.
This strain of melody
To the palm land from the pine,
This slender lyric line
From one whose heart has been
Thine. and is ever thine
Fair Saint Augustine!
