From the present outlook It seems likely tliat tlie Plttston Catholic total ubstlnence societies will consider favorably a proposition to join the" Scranton Diocesan C. T. A. U. union. The Father Mftthew and St. Aloysius societies and the board-of government of diocesan union met Jointly a few weeks ago and the matter was talked over informally, the result being a plan whereby a reconciliation between the union and the Father Mathew society might be effected. One part pf this plan has already been put Into effect, the union through its board of government having stricken from the minutes all action pertaining to the expulsion of the Father Mathew society 13 years ago.' It was feared however that the action of the diocesan convention in turning down Pittston's Invitation to parade here might have changed the attitude of the local temperance men. The first expression on the subject was, therefore, awaited with much interest, it was made yesterday at a meeting of the Father Mathew society, when the report of the committee sent to ihe diocesan convention was heard. The society decided, to take no action on the question of returning, that matter being largely up to the joint societies and the State C. T. A. Union, but a general expression of opinion was Invited and It seemed to be the strong sentiment DDf the meeting that the course of tli.e society be shaped toward bringing about the change of affiliation. It is likely that in the near future letters will be sent to the various societies of the State Union telling them of the proposed action of the Plttston societies and requesting them to send their delegates instructed to the next convention to be held in Danville. up Many Millions.
