COMMISSIONERS
Unable to Hold Members
Criminally Responsible,
1t Charges Neglect.
LAWSON TO REQUEST
LEGISLATIVE INQUIRY
Senator Seeks Ousting of Whole
State Industrial Body-Wel-
fare Folk Active.

Regretting that a legal technicality
prevented holding members Of the
state Industrial Commission criminally
responsible for the loss Of life at the
williamsburg fire on November o.
Coroner Wagner's jury yesterday
charged the commissioners with gross
neglect. II held the chief inspector
unfit. through ignorance. and the head
or the legal division was charged with
failure TO act promptly against vlo-
lators Of the factory laws.
The jury recommends that a copy OF
the findings be forwarded to Governor
Whitman and the Legislature. A copy
also was sent 10 Senator Lawson, OF
the legislative committee. and II was
learned yesterday afternoon that, after
going over the report, he will request
an investigation that will have for It's
object the removal OF all the members
% the commission. As soon as the YER
dict was made known several organiza-
lions interested in protecting factory
workers announced they would call the
Governors attention to the charges.

CANADIAN FLOUR
MILLS MAY CLOSE
Government Will Not Consider
Question of Compensation.

Ottawa, Ont, Nov. 90.--A sub-com-
mittee Of the Cabinet is still engaged
on the problems arising out Of the
wheat communicating order, but there
is no indication that there will be any
compensation from the government for
the sudden seizure or complications
that may arise out Of failure to fiji con-
tracts.
Some Of the grain interests repre-
scented here believe the government
will allow them 20 have the seized
grain for immediate use II able to re-
place il at the government rate quickly.
This would tend to prevent q tie-up

FIGHT TO FINISH
AT WILKES-BARRE
Railway Company Will Neither
Give Nor Ask Quarter in
Strike Struggle.

IEfc.A SAT- COntsponfsn' q TIE Tribune.
Wilke Barre, Penn, Nov. 30.-The d.
rectors Of the Wilkes-Bsrre Railway
Company to-day served formal notice on
p, J. Shea, in charge Of the street car
mems strike. that from now on the
strike will be fought 20 finish. The
company will give TO quarter and will
ask none. Ii will fight on these lines If
II takes a year.
For the present none of the old EN-
ployes will be put TO work, this because
it is feared that the presence on the
cars Of the old men would lead TO
greater violence than has Hitherto been
displayed, but as new lines are opened
up many Of the mon who have private
ly asked for their old Jobs will be re
engaged. Those men will go TO work
on the scale fixed by the srbitrators Of
last July.
The effect Of additional protection
afforded by the 100 extra policemen
sworn in by Mayor John V. Kosek was
seen to-day in increased riding. For
once there were many men 10 be seen
on the armored cars, and for the hrst
time In q month there was no disorder,
Even Plymouth, where the state con-
stsbulary went on duty early this morn
ing, was quiet. Meantime the Mer-
chants associations, led by the Cham
Der Of Commerce, are trying 70 evolve
some method Of bringing peace 70 the
Wyoming Valley.
The rejection OF the Chamber Of
Commerce proposals by the men has
not discouraged that body. which is
now considering the advisabiiity Of
asking Judge George Gray. Of Delaware,
to agree TO act as peacemaker. IL was
Judge Gray who brought peace TO the
coal regions after the big strike in
1902. He has the confidence Of the
miners, who make up the preponderat-
ing majority Of the workers in this sec
ton.
P. J. Gildea and Charles r. Steese,
of the State Bureau Of Labor, were in
the city to-day, but made no Roadway
toward securing peace. They are still
hopeful however, Of breaking the dead
lock.
