the finance committee Of the United
States Steel corporation:
"To the officers and employees Of
the United States Steel corporation
and its subsidiary companies who
subscribed for the preferred stock Of

lar letter Of December 81, 1902:
"The finance committee sees no rea-
son to change it's opinion as to the
intrinsic value Of the preferred stock

WORK OF BOARD
RATHERSTRENUOUS
Conciliators Deadlocked on
Most Important Griev-
ances of Miners
ONLY TWO QUESTIONS DECIDED

Wilkesbarre. Pa. Oct. 1.-The con-
ciliation board held a strenuous and
rather obdurate session, the members
being deadlccEed on several of the
most important grievances. Only two
questions were finally decided, tie
vote resulted in three cases, two were
withdrawn, and an umpire was called
for to decide one which the board had
doadlocked for some time.
OF the cases finally decided one re-
lated to a grievance of Frank Cunnon,
an employe of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western company, who
charged discrimination. His charge
was not sustained.
The second one related to a griev-
ance Of the engineers of the Hazle-
brook colliery Of Wentz & Company.
who claimed they were not receiving
sufficient pay for hours worked, and a
resolution was adopted, giving. them
an increase of IL 1-9 per cent. hourly
rate.
The grievances on which there was
a deadlock and tie vote were as fol-
lows:
That of the car runners of the Della
ware and Hudson company, who asked
for uniform wage rate.
That of the miners at the Delaware
and Hudson Plymouth collicries, who
asked for a change of the system of
having the tracks along the side Of the
chambers or 10 per cent. increase on
the present price per car.
That of the miners at collieries / and
? Of the Pennsylvania Coal company
at Dunmore for an increase in wages
for working an additional hour.
The following grievances were with
drawn:
That of Joseph Smith, of No. col
liery. Hazleton. who charged discrimi-
nation. Satisfactorily adjusted.
That of Charles Wilmer, of Summit
Branch Mining company. Adjusted.
The grievances of the miners of the
Schuylkill region who want a contin-
uation Of the short Saturday work day,
which is one OF the most important
now under consideration, could not be
decided, and the conciliators decided to
ask for an umpire.
A letter was addressed to Judge Gray
to appoint an umpire, as the commits
sion Of Umpire Wright has expired.
One Of the conciliators, when asked
for an explanation for a second call for
an umpire, said that the work of Um-
pire Wright for which the latter served
was completed and now he would have
to be re-appointed or some other man
found to serve. The work of Commits
sioner Wright has not been very sat
isfactory to the miners, especially his
decision on the rock miners griev-
ances. Since his decision nearly 2OcC
rock men have started a movement tC
start a union of their own and many
have left the Miners Union.
Secretary Nichols. Of the board
stated that there were FIVE grievances
in hand from the Wyoming district tC
be heard and several others were being
prepared.
The conciliators adjourned, to NEE
at Pottsville on October 13 and IA.

Sir Michael Henry Herbert was ap-
pointed British ambassador TO the
United States to succeed Lord Paunce-
fote. June 4. 1902, and was subsequent
y kniehted. Much satisfaction over his
appointment was expressed on both
sides OF the water ard appreciation of
his services by his home government
was shown last March, when 1ins Ed
ward conferred upon him the Grand
Cross Of st. Michael and ST. George.
His wonderful faculty of making
friends stood him in good stead at
Washington, and he succeeded in extri-
eating his government from the un-
fortunate position in which IL was left
by Lord Pauncefote He was not only
the youngest Of Great Britaia's ambas-
sadors, but the youngest Of the Knights
of the Grand Cross Of st. Michael and
st. George. He was born June 20. 1857.
and was therefore only 45 years old
when appointed ambassador.
The selection of Sir Michael as am
bassador was especially gratifying be-
cause OF his having an American wife.
In 1888 Mr.. Herbert married Miss Leila
Wilson daughter Of Richard T. Wilson.
of New York, a sister Of Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt Jr.

CERTAIN DEMOCRATS are trying to create the
impression that there is no dissatisfaction in
their party worth talking about and what
there really is will all be smoothed out before
election day. There are many others who
know that widespread dissatisfaction does ex-
list and that the ranks of those who oppose the
party this year is rather growing than falling
off. Not a day passes but we hear of Demo
Gratis who oppose their ticket either in whole
or in part and these are mostly of class OF
men who cannot be whipped into line with
threats or promises of future favors. On the
other hand the Republican party of Baltimore
county was never before so solidly united as
it is this year. There is no factional feeling
and no discussions of any kind. They have
a good ticket that was fairly nominated and
thew will Loyalty support it and help in every
way to elect it. So Republicans have good
cause to be pleased at the outlook. 1t is GER
tainly most encouraging, viewed from every
standpoint and already victory is almost in
the air.

IT is the expressed desire of all fair-minded
people in Baltimore county, without regard
to politics, thatin makingt the appointments for
Judges and clerks this year the Supervisors of
Elections should select none but honest, sober
and capable men, and this the citizens of the
county should demand. They do not wish to see
arepetitioninth this county ofthe mayoralty cleo
ton in Baltimore last May, the result of the
acts of low class of election officers selected
from both parties because of their ability to
perpetrate all kinds of frauds on the ballot
Violations of the election law will be ferreted
out and those guilty of them will be punished
Just as the Reform League of Baltimore city
is now on the track of lot of the scoundrels
in the hope of sending them to the penitenti-
ary The honest citizens of Baltimore county
will not stand idly by and see her fair name
smirched by lot of irresponsible calawags and

THE SUBJECT of legalizing primaries is one
that is just now agitating the minds of many
and no county in the State needs such d law
more than does Baltimore county. A letter
to the Baltimore Herald says: I'm all the
counties wherein primaries have been held by
the Democrats so far there is complaint of
fraud and trickery. In Hartford, where the
Crawford county system of direct voting for
candidates is followed, it is said that the recent
primaries showed an astounding swelling of
the vote The poll at Aberdeen exceeded all
previous records, and numerous instances are
quoted here and elsewhere where negroes,
tramps, Republicans and unregistered 'sover-
eigns' voted. Fifteen hundred more votes
were cast in the county than Representative
Elect Talbot received last year, and 1000
more that were cast at the general election of

was stated that Mr.. Jacob Elliott, of the 9Th

clared, in the presence of twelve or fifteen
gentlemen, that he is not responsiblefor this
newspaper statement and declared that he and
his friends "are perfectly able to think and act
for themselves" If Mr. Elliott is entirely
satisfied with the manner of his treatment
by the late Democratic convention his words
and acts fail to prove it.
