Settlement Aim Shifts in Scranton Coal Dispute
Independent operators largely concede to conciliatory settlement plans after six months of clashes with big operators. Wayne MacVeagh and Commissioner Parker travel to New York and Washington for talks. Proposals seek a public case summary from each side, with agreed wage, weigh, and hour figures submitted to commissioners. The move aims to ease bitterness, stabilize output, and pave future coal pricing while planning absorption of independents by major carriers.
No More Conferences, MacVeagh Says Before Commission
Wayne MacVeagh, lead counsel for operators before the coal strike inquiry, arrived in the city and said at the Waldorf Astoria that he is en route to Washington on a trip unrelated to the strike. He stated no conference will occur with operators and United Mine Workers until all commission evidence is taken. any later agreement would be only a suggestion to the commission.

Ice cripples Third Avenue elevated railway system
An early ice storm disrupts Manhattan Elevated Railroad service as sleet coats the third rail duct, preventing contact shoes from drawing power. Second and Third avenues freeze, surface cars fill the streets, and trains stall from 5 am. The Tremont section suffers repeated outages, flames from broken circuits light the rails, and several cars are towed to yards. Passengers endure delays, packed platforms, and scant heating as officials rush to install sleet-clearing devices for future reliability.
