GRAY DECLINES TO
RECOGNIZE STRIKERS
Renders His First Decisions as
Umpire of the Anthracite
Cancellation Board.

HA2LEToN, Pa, Feb. 15,-Former
Judge Gray, OF wilmington, Del.
rendered his first decisions today as the
newly appointed umpire Of the anthracite
Cancellation board to settle disputes bc-
tween the miners and coal operators. He
ruled that strikers had no standing be-
fore the tribunal
The decision was on the appeal OF six
Lokie runners OF the Locust Mountain
colliery, Schuylkl County, for reinstate-
ment after their discharge for rebellng
against the installation Of time clock
and then causing a strike. He decided
that one of the six be taken back, but
that the dismissal of the others had been
justified on grounds OF proper discipline.
In the grievance of certain contracts
miners of the Mineral Spring colliery
against the Behigh Valley Coal Company,
the men asked for 5!c. per foot for remov-
ing rock, asserting that the company had
cut the price to 4 cent per foot. The
umpire finds that the men have not
sustained their charges.
In the case Of certain employees against
the officers of tho George B. Markle Com
pany, the men asserted they were entitled
to time for building buggy dumps and
buggy roads and alleged that the COM
pany fas giving them nothing for this
work. Umpire Gray decided that the
men shall be paid 1857 cents per hour
for this work In the future.
Former Judge Gray was a member of
the commission named by President
Roosevelt which settled the 1852 strike of
the anthracite miners.

Aged Soldier Growing Blind
Cuts Himself With Razor in

David Long, an s2-year-oid veteran Of the

own. He leaned over his father, and
after assuring himself that he was breathe
ing, left his bedside.

clothing were smearcd with blood. An
investigation disclosed the fact that his
father had cut his throat with a razor.

2sth and oxford streets station and the
veteran was taken to the Northwest Gem
eral Hospital. There heroic measures
we're resorted TO 10 save his life, but
the old man had literally bled to death
before he was found.
Long, according to his son, had been
alling for some years past and recently
his eyeslght began falling. He had
passed two years in Libby Prison in the
south during the rebellion, and his
afflictlon Is said to have resulted from
treatment he received while he was con-
fined there.

MINT HERE TO MAKE
$12,OOO,OOO FOR CUBA
Eight Designs of Coins Will
Constitute New Currency.
Competition for Contract.

A S12,OOO,OOO order of coins for Cuba has
heen placed with the Philadelphia Mint.
Eight coins will constitute the new sys-
TEN. What other orders will follow Is
not known at the Mint here.
Cuba has never had currency system
of It's own Heretofore coins circulated
there have been those of the United
States and Spain, with scattering of
coins from South and Central American
nations. A bill in the Cuban assembly
provided for the new system, declaring
for a standard basis at par with the
United States coins. 1t is expected that
the circulation of the United States and
Spanish coins throughout Cuba will be
ended by the institution of the new
system.
Negotiations for the Cuban currency
began at Washington about last Novem-
ber," Adam NJ. Joyce, superintendent of
the Mint said today. 81 am not familiar
with the designs, but I believe there are
to be eight different coins in the system.
The only thing we require is that the
designs can be worked into coins with
difficulty, and that the reliefs are sufii-
ciently high l cannot tell when we will
begin on the order"
1t was reported today that the first de-
signs submitted to the Mint officials were
drawn In a way to make the mechanical
work difficult, and that they have been
returned 10 the Cuban Government, un-
der whose direction they were made. Mr..
Joyce would not discuss thi' phase of
the order.
The contract was given to the Phia-
delphia Mint as the result of competitive
bidding, II was reported. All the work
on the first order will be done here. This
is not the first time that the Philadelphia
Mint has coined money for other coun-
tries. There have been orders filled for
Costa Rica San Salvatore and Ecuador.

Philadelphia resumed it's giving to the
home relief division of the Emergency
Ald Committee at o'clock this morning
At pace that indicates the goal of 100000
set by the committee will be reached soon.
The chutes leading into the station were
rattling with coin contributions long be-
fore the office opened. At o'clock the
amount received was $4,000.
The mail today brought hundreds of LETT
ters containing checks. Today, also, the
collections taken up In all the Roman
Catholic churches of the city yesterday
for the home relief will be turned over to
the committee, and this is expected to
swell the fund by many hundred dollars.
Scores of the poor and destitute be-
sieged the office of the Home Relief Di-
vision today. Many women came with
children in arms and others, lightly clad,
cllnging to their dresses, to ask for aid.
All will be cared for by the division.
The committee has set itself now to col
leet $4,000 a day-today, Tuesday and
wednesday-and half that sum Thurs
day.
The $4,000 a day slogan was coined
when the receipts for yesterday were
found to have made the total subscrip-
tons In the Self-sacrifice Day fund $685.
900, Tho contributions through the
chutes at the headquarters of the COM
mlttee in the Lincoln Building yesterday
were $lS2, but others made inside the
station brought the days total to 1872. &C.
The appeal issued by the committee for
land for Fairgrounds is designed to give
work to men now unemployed. Should
land be given for this purpose, there is
little doubt the necessary funds for i'm
proving It will be forthcoming in the near
future. Thus donations of land to the
committee will serve double purpose.
