SCRANTON, April PA prominent coal
operator who is particularly close to John
Mitchell made the statement to THE Sun
representative to-day that unless the radl-
Gals get control Of the coming convention
there will be no strike Mitchell will make
a strenuous effort to get concessions for the

The locals are electing their delegates

enthusiastic followers Of Mitchell and they
will do as he recommends.
In the meantime the coal companies
are increasing their output daily, the Lacka-
wanna mining nearly 1900 tons a day:
The Hampton is the latest mine TO be started

The fact that the operators had refused

Following the reports of Chief Inspector

Ernest j., Lederle that the recent eve
explosions in the neighborhood OF Ninth
avenue and Fiftieth street we're due to
gasolene, Health Commissioner Darlington
summoned to his office yesterday about
thirty owners or managers of garages In
the explosion belt. He odd them that in
future no gasolene must be allowed to
escape into the house drains and thence
into the sewers. The garages are to be
inspected frequently, and when gasolene
is found in the drain the person responsible
will he arrested.
The majority Of the garage owners said
that their employees used gasolene with
out permission in cleaning the machines.
In explaining the reasons which had
led him To the conclusion that gasolene
was responsible for the explosions, DR.,

Samples of air and of the liquid con-
tents of the seven at various points have
been and are being taken, and are being

the odor of gasolene is marked. At times
the odor of gasolene from the manholes
was very strong, and the men from the
Bureau of Sewers could not remain in the

Shortly after eight o'clock last night
we received complaints from tenants in
the neighborhood that there were strong
odors in their houses. On inspection the
complaints we're verified and the odors
found to be those of gasolene. These
odors were traced from Tenth avenue and
Fiftv-frst street, in which the main sewer
of the district running west is located, to
Ninth avenue. and thence along Fifty-sixth
street to Broadway, near which location
we found a truck with gasolene cans and
learned that one of the garages Of this
