POWDERJSJT ISSUE New Question Crops Out in Settlement of the Strike. MAY BE A STUMBLING BLOCK The Li. W. Announces Thnt It will Abide by Its Former Offer, Means Koductlou In Powder Part of Increano. Powder will be the one stumbling block in the way of a settlement of the strike in the first anthracite district.

That fact is plainly apparent When the companies in this vicinity posted notices of the 10 per cent, advance two or three weeks ago ail contained claims to the effect that powder would be reduced to 1.30 per keg, the reduction in price to be ligured as a portion of the 10 per cent, advance. The miners in their convention last Saturday decided to accept a 10 per cent, straight advance and discuss all other grievances, powder being considered among the latter. President Truesdaleof the Daware, Lackawanna and Western, said in an interview yesterday that the decision reached at the Philadelphia conference on Wednesday did not In anyway affect his company, inasmuch as they had posted notices some time ago notifying the men of a 10 per cent, advance. At the Lackawanna headquarters in this city the above was practically reiterated. IT WAS CONFIRMED.

Superintendent Loomis was not to be seen, but Chief Clerk Tobey said that no new notices would be posted at the mines utiless direct orders were received advising them to do so. As far as he knew the notices already posted were deemed a sufficient compliance with the demands of the convention. Late yesterday afternoon a statement was sent to the newspaper offices in regard to the purposes of the larger operators. The heads of the large companies held a meeting yesterday and discussed the situation. After the meeting the following statement was issued INTERVIEW GIVEN OUT.

"The representatives of the larger coal companies were interviewed after their meeting this afternoon, and stated in reply to an inquiry, that they had offered their men a 10 per cent, advance as indicated by the notices they had posted; that this notice specilically stated that the reduction of powder from $2.75 to would be considered in arriving at the wages of their contract miners. It was ex pected, when the notices were posted, that the offer was to stand until April 1, and indefinitely thereafter, but in asmuch as there seems to be some misunderstanding in this matter, they have agreed to add to their notice a clause to the effect that it is their in tention to pay the advance in wages until April jw.il, ana inereaner until further notice." Who the larger companies are can hardly be said, but it probably means the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, Delaware and Hudson, Ontario and Western, Temple Iron company and Hillside Coal and Iron company. All these companies, save the Ontario and Western, posted notices concerning the proposed advance and the reduction in the price of powder sometime ago, and it would seem that they were the ones who had decided to amend their notices. POWDER FIGURED OUT. As will be noticed by the foregoing the reduction in powder is to be figured out of the 10 per cent, advance.

That is where the trouble will come in. The individual operator will also stand by this action. Mr. Reese G. Brooks, of the Laftin and Greenwood Coal companies, said yesterday when asked how the individual operators felt in this regard, that they would undoubtedly follow the larger companies; that in fact they could not help themselves.

They would also figure the reduction in powder out of the 10 per cent, advance. PRESIDENT NICHOLS VIEWS. Miners, on the other hand, claim that the companies in this district are seeking to evade the conditions laid down by the convention. President T. D.

Nichols, when seen at headquarters yesterday afternoon, said emphatically that the resolution of the convention was for a straight 10 per cent, advance, the price of powder not being mentioned. The latter was to come up later as one of the grievances to be settled between men and employers. "Until the companies in this district abide by the conditions imposed in the convention resolution," said Mr. Nichols, "the strike will not be declared off, President Mitchell cannot declare it off until all the companies have fallen into line and agreed to accept the conditions imposed. Consequently the strike will go on until these companies agree to the straight 10 per cent, without taking powder into consideration." Organizer Dllcher and Secretary Pempsey wore in Forest City yester day.

where they addressed a large as semblage. HOWARD WHITE RELEASED He bas Served bis Term for Robblue John Smith.

SPRUNG1SURPRISE Mr. Chittenden Alleges Irregularities in Controller's Office. ASKS FOR INFORMATION Wants to Know ir Certain Acts Are Impeachable Last Year's Assessments to be Investigated Mayor's Letter About Police Appointments Councilman Chittenden has something "up his sleeve," to use one of the pet expressions of the day. Last night he caused a small sensation in council by the introduction of a peculiarly worded resolution concerning the city controller's department and then refusing to talk upon the subject. The resolution which caused all the talk was as follows: Resolved by the Select Council of the City of Scranton, that the Cily Solicitor be requested to render a written opinion whether or not the City Controller would be liable to impeachment and removal from office in case he should, without the approval of City Councils, make transfers of appropriations on the city books kept in his office or for wHfully charging claims against the city to accounts not set aside or appropriated tor such purposes.

When the resolution had been read Mr. Coyne wanted to know if any irregularities such as hinted at in the resolution, had been going on. Mr. Chittenden replied, saying: "It is understood that irregularities exist in that office. They are not very serious now, but are apt to grow in time." "I want to say," remarked Mr.

Roche, "that these things are not new in the controller's office; they have been going on for years." iThe resolution was then adopted. Mr. Chittenden refused to say anything more about the matter, even when importuned by the reporters to explain his reasons for introducing the measure. VIADUCT IS COMING. When the viaduct ordinance came up on second reading, Mr.

O'Boyle presented an amendment, striking out the word "immediately" and inserting "upon the passage of this ordinance and damages to property have been ascertained and approved by city councils by a majority vote of each branch thereof." Mr. O'Boyle spoke at some length in favor of his amendment, arguing against the construction of the viaduct, and Mr. Roche remarked that the adoption of the amendment would mean the complete nullification of the ordinance. The amendment lost by tne following vote: Ayes rRoss, Chittenden, Schneider, demons, O'Boyle, Vaughan and Wagner 7. Nays Finn, Costello, Thomas, Williams, James, Roche, Melvin, Shea, Lidstone, McCann, Oliver, Schroeder and Coyne 13.

The orinance then passed second reading by the same vote. The claim of Fitzpatritk Lavelle, contractors on the fourth district sewers, for $304: was ordered paid on recommendation of the sewers and drains committee. TO INVESTIGATE ASSESSORS. Mr. Finn announced that he had seen considerable in the newspapers regarding discrepancies and discrimination in the last assessments.

He thought that the matter should be looked into and the veracity of the accounts be settled. For that reason he moved that the chairman appoint a committee of five, whose duty it would be to investigate the assessment and see if any corporations had received benefits from it. The motion prevailed and Chairman Wagner appointed Messrs. Finn, Thomas, Lidstone, Vaughan and O'Boyle on the committee. City Solicitor Vosburg reported that the committee composed of himself, Mayor Moir and City Engineer Phillips, had notified property owners along West Lackawanna avenue to communicate with them regarding their probable damages from construe tion of the proposed viaduct.

The partial estimates of A. H. Coon Son, and Donahoe utfoyie, for work on sewers were ordered paid. Bids for the construction of the Meade avenue system of sewers were read as follows: P. F.

O'Hora, SJ1.7U per lineal foot; M. J. Gibbons, per lineal foot; Edward Healey S1.81 ner lineal foot. They were re ferred to the proper committee with instructions to report forthwith, ine committee reported in favor of award ing the contract to M. J.
