Trexler at Allentown at .8:30 o'clock on Friday morning, It was reported csterday. 1 Action Delayed On Endorsing Of Strike Plan International Executive Board At Detroit Will Not Paaa Car Men's union relative to approval or rejection of the local strike plan tomorrow or Thursday, It was announced last night at the Detroit headquarters. The local trolley workers are operating on their runs under protest pending word from the national officials. Sanction has been asked of a tieup over a watchman grievance on the Carbondale branch.

Shea Wants Arbitration There was nothing new in the sit uatlon yesterday other than a reiteration by Harry H. Dartt, president of the Scranton Railway company, of the employers' position relative to the complaint. Mr. Dartt still contends i the company has not violated the terms of the working agreement, while P. J.

Shea, national union officer, maintains the grievance should be placed in the hands of an arbitration board. Mr. Shea has maintained the com pany should select flagmen for the grade crossings along the branch from the ranks of the union and he wants this, point arbitrated. Mr. Dartt explains that under an agree ment reached back in 1892 with the D.

H. and O. W. railroad com panles these guards were picked by tne steam carriers. The expense is shared equally by the trolley company and railroad company.

The pubjlic service commission nas directed post ing of guards at the crossings during the time the one man cars are operated. Would Retain Two Men Mr. Dartt in yesterday's statement repeated his position taken last week relative to arbitration of this point. company official contends arbl tration Involves only points of con tract and not of managemert. He states the company is willing to arbi trate questions of working conditions, discharge' or suspension of employes and other points set forth in the con tract, but holds that points outside the pact are subject to arbitration between the union and company.

"Matters that affect contract rela flops with other parties and orders of the public service commission are not subject of arbitration and were never intended as such and can not be arbitrated as an arbitration would be useless and of no effect," Mr. Dartt explained. The railway head always stated that were the guards to be taken from tne union membership only two men would be Riven employment and tne com pany has offered to take care of two men in other departments or tne trolley system.

Several years later the proprietors became aware of his presence and sent Nicholas Scull with some assistants to survey Depuls property and to ce mand he repurchase it from its proper owners, the Penns.

It is probable that this act of the proprietors aroused the Indians for the first time, to tne danger that threatened them. A group of Indiana, therefore, surrounded Scull and his men and savagely commanded them "to put up iron stick and go rnme." This com mand Scull and his men found it convenient to obey. Depui, however, was forced to repurchase this land. This was the first permanent settlement ln Monroe county.

H. President. Kingston, Pa. Xtf" Opposing Sides Will Be Heard In Tax Dispute Argument to Be Submitted On Writ Compelling Board To Give O'Connor Dupli cate and Also Upon Petition Asking Injunction Against Tax Collector Argument will be heard before court en banc tomorrow on the petition of James McLaughlin, Olyphant tax payer, to enjoin the Olyphant school board from turning over the 1930 school tax duplicate to John O'Connor, tax collector, and also upon an al tentative mandamus writ compelling the directors to place the duplicate ln O'Connor's hands for collection. The three minority directors, John O'Connor Michael Metrlnko and Andrew Hare have Joined the Con nor request for the mandamus order.

The minority directors state they are ready and willing to turn over the duplicate to uonnor, dui are ae feated by the vote of the majority McLaughlin in his injunction peti tion alleges O'Connor should not be given the duplicate. McLaughlin bases his petition upon the recent action taken against the tax collector by a group or tax probers needed by Bur gess John L. Kilcullen. O'Connor is under bail on charges of embezzlement, perjury and false pretense. Court will likely dispose of the op posing petitions at the same time.

The group opposed to O'Connor is backing the injunction action while the anti Kilcullen faction is th power behind the mandamus action. Attorney M. J. Martin represents the Kilcullen tax probers. Attorney Clarence Balentlne represents the tax collector.

Election Battle Recalled The fight against O'Connor is continuance of the election contest waged last November between M. E. Dougherty and Joseph Hastings, school director candidates. Hastings was elected on the face of the open returns by a majority of 91 votes. Counsel for Dougherty had four boxes opened ano uougnerty was thrown into the lead by a slight majority.

Hastings counsel retaliated by opening other boxes and before the recount action was completed eve ballot box in Olphant was opened. Dougherty won out Dy a majority or four votes. An appeal was taken from certification of Dougherty's election which is still pel before the supreme court. Had Hastings been elected the O'Connor faction wouli have had a four to three majority on the school board. Dougherty's re election continued the balance of power in the hands of the anti O'Connor faction.

Preliminary objections to the Mc Laughlin action filed yesterday in ad dition to asking that the bill be dismissed termed the McLaughlin proceedings as scandaloiu. It was con tended ln the objections that the equity bill is faulty and asks that counsel for the plaintiff reprimanded. The exceptions ask further that counsel fees be awarded the minority school directors who have Joined as defenders in the issue. 4 P.F.&M.T. Howiey.

roc, 281 Wyomini Av. Plumbing. Heatlni, sheet Metal Contractor Adv Members of Honorary Commission Understood to Be Ready to Recommend That Million Dollar Loan Project Be Deferred for Another Year A recommendation by Mayor Fred K. Derby's honorary advisory commission that the proposed floating of a million dollar bond issue for municipal improvements be deferred for another year at least will not come as a. to city officials.

The members of the commission will meet on Thursday night with Mayor Derby at wnlch time they are expected to have their recommendations ready for the city executive. The mayor's program was presented to the body on last Thursday night and has been receiving the individual consideration of the members since that time. A detailed report of the proposed financing plan has been given each mem ber. Desire More Opportune Time Sevrrtf members of the commission, in informal conversations, have expressed it as their opinion that a more opportune time than the present could be chosen tor the submission to the voters of the city of such an extensive improvement program. In the light of the present economic depression prevailing throughout the country they declare It inadvisable at this time to burden the taxpayers.

Tne adoption of the bond Issue would mean a tax Increase of about two mills. City Controller Edward Elsele recently declared that a million dollar loan would i equlre an increase of 1.2 mills ln the land tax and .6 muia in tne building levy. It is likewise pointed out that none of the items in the proposed Man budget would provide any great increase in the employment of labor for their consummation. While several of the commission membe 3 have expressed objections to particular items ln the proposed plan of expenditures, the general objection raised centered arouno tne tax increase which will result should the program be approved. One of the Items subjected to criticism by a member of the advisory board yUterday was that calling for an expenditure of $113,175 for replacement and repairs to the police and fire :il.rm system in use in the city.

It was the contention of the member that tr.e present system, when it was InstalleJ, was guaranteed by the makers to meet the requirements of a citv of 400.000 population. The item for rep.Acement and repairs, he pointed out, is greater tnan uie original cost of the installation. Citv officials in discussing the pres ent alarm system pointed out that it is antiquated; its circuits are over.oao.ea and that it is the subject of much criticism from fire underwriters. They declare a complete levamplng of the Instalia'ion is necessary for a 100 per cent lire protection system. Of $113,175 to be used ior tnis work.

Oppose Bridge Proposals "None of the commissioners inter viewed concerning the improvement program looked with favor upon tne bridge construction schedule which is under consideration Jointly with the milliontflollar bond issue. This con structlon work would add another mil lion and a' half of Indebtedness to the taxpayers. The plan calls for the erection of a span from Spruce street to Seventh avenue at a cost of $850, 000, including $350,000 for property damage and another bridge across the Lackawanna river at Luzerne street to Willow street at a cost of $650,000, without property damages.
