PATIENCE EXHAUSTED"
SAY DISTRICT LEADERS
Miners Expect Suspension, Pending
Settlement of Dispute.

WILKESBARRE. Pa, June 6.-Though
operators and miners now deny that
there is any probability of a prolonged
strike growing out of the present
strained conditions. the district leaders
will not be surprised if a suspension is
ordered pending the public and official
statement of acceptance or rejection of
the miners representatives on the con-
ciliation board
The men have clamored for a change
in tactics on the ground that If the con-
ciliators were ever to meet on common
basis and work out the end intended by
the strike commission. it should come
now. at the time of the organization of
the board. They have made all sorts
of concessions, and ordered men working
under all sorts Of disadvantages to con-
tinue pending an adjustment of differ
ences, but patience has ceased to be q
virtue. Believing that they are right,
their contentious being sustained by
Judge Gray and others, the miners, I'M
less the present plans are changed, will
not re-elect Presidents Nichols, Dettrey
and Fahey at the PottsviIle convention
June Is. but will simply indorse the ac-
ton of the executive boards and declare
their previous action was in accordance
with the award of the commission.

NO DELAY IN HEARING
CASE AGAINST THE GR0FFS

There will be no delay so far as the
District Attorneys office is concerned. in
The investigation of the charge of bribery
made against the Croft brothers in con
nection with securing contracts for the
sale Of letter box fasteners to the Post
office Department. When the grand jury
adjourned Friday after reporting an in
iictment against A. w. Machen, ex-su-
perintendent of the free delivery division
Of the Postoffice Department, it was to
meet tomorrow and TO continue the in
vestigation Of the postoffice cases.
The similarity of the nature of the
pffenses which Machen and the
Groffs are accused of committing. one
with receiving a bride and the others
with offering it, in connection with the
same transactions, makes it likely that
the witnesses who testified before the
grand jury on Friday Will be called
again tomorrow. The witnesses Who tes-
titled relative TO the charges against
Machen are John c. Eckloff. cashier
the Second National Bank: George D.
Ashton, cashier of the Citizens National
Bank; ]. w. Herring, cashier of The
SAlOl4 -NdblOl1ai Dam VI w coAlil4IlSiCl ,
Nd; Henry L. Halstead. cashier of the
Home Savings Bank, Toledo, Ohio, and
Andrew w. Parker. of the Washington
Loan and Trust Company
The testimony of all these witnesses
having already been heard by the grand
jury relative TO the accepting of money
by Machen from the Groffs. 1t viii not
take much time to review the matter
with reference to the payment of money
blythe Groffs to Machen. Under these
circumstances q report is expected from
the grand jury at an early hour tomor-
row.
When the Groffs were arrested, to-
morrow was set as the time for pre-
llminary hearing of the charges against
them. In the event that the grand
jury, at an early hour tomorrow, signi-
les its intention to report an indict-
rent against the Groffs, it is probable
that the Government will ask post
ponement of the hearing until the result
OF the deliberations of the grand jury is
reported to the District Attorney
Should an indictment be reported. as IL
tie Machen case, the proceedings be-
fore United States Commissioner Taylor
Will then be dismissed and the accused
