ing a Proposition from the
Pennsylvania Railroad.

The PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Com
pany has sent proposition to the
board of frocholders, regarding the
famous Hole in the WALL at South

ii over to the South Amboy council,
The proposition is to close the hole

nit the question to the citizens of
Mechanicville.
The mayor has notified Councilman
Dewan, the representative from Me-
chanicsville. that the proper course
would be to call a mass meeting for
an expression of the will of the peo-
pie as to which plan they want. The
meeting will be held on Tuesday eve

New Brunswick Unions Have
Been Asked to Come TO This
City Labor Day.
PREPARATIONS NOW ON,
Central Labor Board Is Agitating the
Matter and Each Union Will BE
Requested 10 AsSist--PIan To Hay,,
Floats Showing Every Trade in
This City-Will Go II Alone il
New Brunswick Does Not Come.

If the present plans of the local
Central Labor Union are carried out
the labor men of this city and New
Brunswick will combine forces and
hold monster labor parade in this
city Labor Day. If New Brunswick
sticks to the position she took some
time ago, that The parade be held in
that city, it is most likely that the
local Central Labor Board will de-
eide to parade alone. AT the meetings
of each different union, it is said, re-
quests will be received from the Cen
tral Labor Board urging their CO. OPP
GRAFTON.
At the meeting of the Transfers
Union tonight it is understood that
request from the Central Labor Board
will be received. The teamstera will
be asked to provide wagons for the
guests aud those who arc to take
part in the parade 1t is the inten-
tion of the board to have each trade
represented on large float which
shall be drawn by two Or more horses.
On the iloat will be mechanics who

things are done.
Hundreds Of invitations will be
sent out probably and even if the city
has to do without the aid of New
Brunswick the affair is bound to be
success. If New Brunswick decides
to cooperate with the local board it
is estimated that 800 men will be
in line.
II is many years since this city has
had a labor parade. The last one was
n great success. Since that time hun
drods OF new mechanics have come to
organized with the result that many
new trades will be represented and
many more men will be in line.

of $l7 near the Pennsylvania railroad
roundhousc about o'clock this NOR
ming. one robber holding him while
the other went through his pockets.
He called for aid and two railroad
employees ran towards him, at which
the highwaymen fed
Two men were arrested a short
while later on descriptions furnished
to Roundsman J. E. Morris and Pa
trolmen l.. A. Long and l.. c. Jensen.
The prisoners denied their guilt
when arrested and when arraigned
in court this morning. One had Sill
80 upon his person when arrested
and his companion was identified this
morning by Edward Houghton, hos
tier at the Pennsylvania railroad pro-
perty, and Peter Kopolka, track
walker. He Is John McNally, twenty
nine years old, of 10 William street.
He is accused of holding Mr. Trapha-
gen while the other robber relieved
him of his money. The one accused
of taking the money from Mr.. Traph-
agen's pockets is James Cosgrove,
twenty-five years old, of 33 North
First street. He had Sill. so on his
person when arrested He told the
officers that he had only 81 so but
$40 was found in an inside pocket of
his coat by Sergeant Mulligan when
he was searched at police hcadquar-
terS.
AS there was still few dollars un-
accounted for, Il thorough search was
made by the officers this morning but
no money WAS found. Mr.. Traphagen
wasnot quito positive whether it was
SIS or Sl7 he had last night, but il is
believed that S. was hidden some
where by the robbers.
The prisoners were held under S :,

of highway robbery. Neither of them
has good record.
Mr.. Traphagen had been called
frpm his home to supervise the re-
placing Of a rear pair of wheels of a
tank, the wheels having slipped from
the turn table. AT the Time he was
assailed there was no railroad en-
plqye very near him. He struggled

President Mitchell Declined Off.
er Of Operators and Coal
Strike Seems Inevitable.
Joint Committee Conference Broken
on without Any Settlement Men
in Convention May Declare State of
Strike-Niners We're Greatly Sur
prised at the Curt Response by
the Spokesman for the Operators.

NEW YORK, April f3. John Mitch
ell president Of the United Mine Work
ers. has declined to accept the counter
proposition for arbitration made by
the anthracite operators on Tuesday
and submitted at the same time d coun-
ter proposal on the miners behalf
eliminating the miners request for rec
ognition Of the union and modifying the
demand for the check off system. 1t
was also agreed that the grievances be
submitted for arbitration to the an
thracite strike commission. appointed
about three years ago by President
Roosevelt
In answer to the proposition of the
miners President Baer of the Phila-
dephia and Reading simply said
We regret that you have not ac-
cepted our propositions We do not
feel that we can modify them. We
will hereafter answer your commuDica-
ton Of this date by letter, or if you de-
sire further meeting the time can be
arranged now or be hereafter fixed by
the respective chairmen."
The meeting then adjourned, subject
to the call of both chairmen, Messrs.
Baer and Mitchell
The miners We're greatly surprised at
this curt response by the spokesman
for the operators Mr. Mitchell had
expected long discussion at the CON
ference over the questions in dispute.
Later Mr. Mitchell was asked:
From what side did the PROPOSE
ton to adjourn subject to call comeY'
From the operators, said Mr..
Mitchell
In answer to further questions Mr..
Mitchell said:
"Our position is this: 1t is up to the
operators to accept our proposition of
yesterday or to submit their proposals
of last Tuesday, together with ours of
yesterday. TO the strike commission for
their decision as to which proposition
should be considered as subject to ar
bitrament. That is a fair position to
assume in my opinios. II shall en-
deavor TO call the scale committee to-
gether at once instead of tonight, as
was the original plan
While there is still hope that peace
full solution Of the controversy will be
found, the meeting did not bring the
contending parties closer together. IN
fact. they appear to have almost
reached the limit of their negotiations.
If the operators should decline to en-
tertain either of the propositions sub
mitted by the miners it is probable
convention of miners will be called, at
which the delegates will declare that
strike exists.
Briefly stated, the offer made by
President Mitchell was a resubmission
of the miners original demands. with
two amendments. and in case they are
not accepted he proposes that the
whole controversy be placed before the
strike commission
