At the last meeting of the executive board it adjourned, subject to the call of the chair, in order to allow the officers to investigate and report back the names of such operatives and collieries at which collections for cheek weighmen and check docking bosses are not being made in accordance with Umpire Wright's decision.

Since the meeting, however, the check weighman question has been referred to Judge Gray by the conciliation board and a report of the proceedings was made to the board by District President Nicholls, who presided at the meeting. The trouble at the Pennsylvania collieries at Old Forge and Pittstor has been settled.

The board also had in consideration the observance of Mitchell day at Wilkes Barre. Carroll D.

Wright, who has acted a3 umpire on grievances between the operators and miners, will resign his position as head of the bureau of labor statistics on December 1. After he resigns it is quite probable that hi' will no longer act as an umpire. He receives three hundred dollars for each grievance he renders a decision on and is paid by the miners and operators jointly. Carroll D. Wright, who has been the head of the bureau of labor statis tic's, now attached to the department of commerce and labor, will retire from that office on December 1.

Few places which the president has to fill will require greater care in the selection of the right man.

I Sadden Svwming of Second District Democrat Duo to an Exigency, Says, Fred Phillips. THEY RESOLUTIONS There was no intention of springing a "snap" convention upon the Democrats of the Second legislative district for the purpose of nominating a candidate for the legislature, protests the Hon. Fred Phillips, but circumstances controlled by the district chairman, Frank Hammes, forced the issue and the convention was called last night. Nevertheless, the whole matter was rather sudden, following as it did the primaries of the night before. However, the Republicans can find little campaign thunder even if the convention was sprung, said Mr.

Phillips' friends last nicht, because he was unopposed for the nomination and Democratic conventions are gelling common as weddings. There was consequently little fuss jver the ceremony which was performed by the chairman and a vigorius resolution committee with the usual supply of invectives. The report of the resolution committee and the five minute address of the honorable legislative incumbent, were the features of the convention. The second district held its primaries as stated, Wednesday night. Last night they met in the main court room and held their convention.

Chairman Hammes of the district committee has been contemplating a three weeks' trip out of town after1 Labor day and it was hurriedly decided that to await his return would delay nomination matters dangerously. Despite the hurried call for the convention, a full delegation of district men was present. Chairman Hammes presided and the following convention officers were chosen; chairman, David J. Reedy; secretaries, Dennis Barry and James Roach: chairman of the resolution committee, Frank Hammes. Afteu the preliminaries had been disposed of Mr.

Hammes presented the name of Mr. Phillips to the There was some cheering at the suggestion and Mr Phillips was unan iinnnslv chosen. Ho was called upon for a few remarks and responded with his characteristic humor. He said, among other things: "When I went to the legislature last term I said 1 would do all 1 could for the town and I did. This unanimous nomination is appreciated and I will put forth my best endeavors to secure the election.

Next, time I'm going to do better, if I get the chance." ADOPT RESOLUTIONS. One of the lengthiest set of resolutions ever reeled off to a district convention was then read by Chairman Hammes of the committee. They were exceedingly comprehensive, embracing every lihase of possible politics from Rooseveltism down to a stone mason's strike and the president's attitude on the open shop question. Open shop was denounced as bad policy and peculiarly a Republican institution which should be avoided by the Democrats of the Second district. The open shop referred to was the president's policy toward the striking printers at Washington.

What stone mason strike, was in question it did not appear. The resolutions further endorsed Parker for president and attacked high tariff with the usual amount of dynamite. Locally, George W. Howell was endorsed for congress and some skeletons resurrected about the Con nell Howell election contest for congress. Mr.

William Connell and Mr. T. H. Dale, the Republican candidate for congress, were accused of plunging the county into thousands of dollars of debts by election contests. The committee couldn't close without some reference to the meat strike.

Roosevelt was the cause of the meat strike in Chicago, of course, said the committee. He'favored the trusts so that the men struck. Other equally vital questions of government were as readily and conclusively disposed of. The convention then adjourned. Mr.

Phillips is the Democratic candidate for all that section of the city east of the Lackawanna river, and extending below South Scranton. He has filled one term in the office. Delter at Sayre. A telegram was received by Superintendent of Police Lona B. Day yysfer day from the authorities at Sayre, that the chief of police, James J.
