Dubois, Pa, Sept. S.-A settlement
Of the miners strike in this region was
practically effected yesterday after
noon. The committee appointed at the
convention last week to conduct all
negotiations looking toward a settle
ment met General Manager Robinson
here, and before adjourning an article
Of agreement was signed by Mr.. Rob
inson and the members of the COM
mittee which Is mutually agreeable.
The proposition will be submitted to the
miners at a meeting to be held this
afternoon and If acceptable work will
be resumed at all mines on the 9Th.
The agreement has not yet been made
public but there Is hardly a possibility
that it will be rejected by the miners

committee. The company win pay the
highest proportionate scale paid in any
competitive region, and whatever scale
is found to be actually settled on will
be paid by the company from that date.

The recently published statement OF
the bureau Of statistics which has been
exploited in the free trade newspapers
OF the country, claiming that the in
crease Of manufactures Increased
largely under the low tariff rates of the
Wilson law. has led somebody to look
into the general history Of our foreign
commerce during the past half cen-
tury The result Of this investigation
shows that I'm the past % years the bal
ance of trade has been in our favor TO
the extent Of s2,461, 900, 600, while in the
preceding quarter of a century the ball
ance Of trade was against us TO the
tune Of 81 400, 900 900. When It Is remem-
bered that the past quarter of a cen-
tury has been one Of constant protec-
tlon with the exception Of the three un-
happy years of the Wilson law, and
that the preceding quarter of a century
was one of mostly low tariffs, the sig
niiicance of these figures will be recog-
nized.

Miss Burkowsky

miss burkoWsky
In view of the publicity recently at
tanned by Miss Ottilie Burkowsky, the
noddste who was placed under $4,000
bonds by Justice Owens for threatening
the life of Mrs. Harry Schoonmaker, or
Elsie Bierlidh. the following special dis
patch from Springfield will prove Of
interest. Miss Burkowsky was released
on her own recognizance to enable her
to secure bondsmen, but has failed to Sc
cure them, and Is understood to have
left the city for the east That her coming
is not looked forward to with any great
degree Of pleasure is indicated by the
contents of the dispatch:
SPRINGFIELD, o., March IA
Cincinnati special today says: "Har-
rassed beyond endurance for a period
of nearly ten years. Harry Schoonmaker
of this city Will today appeal to Chief of
Police Dietch for protection against OF
tile Burkowsky, now en- route from Los
Angeles, CAL, with the avowed intention
of taking his life. Schoonmaker's story
is: Miss Burkowsky was arrested last
Monday at the Savoy hotel at Los An
geles at the instance of Mrs. Harry
Schoonmaker. who is temporarily in
that city on visit to her parents. The
ground of complaint that Miss Bur-
kowsky was sending threatening let
ters to her and that she was in fear of
her life. The preliminaries leading to
this condition of affairs occurred in this
city about ten years ago. Schoonmaker
and Miss Burkowsky met and she be-
came infatuated with him. He went to
Los Angeles. where she followed him,
and has been on his track ever since. She
10 constantly, it is alleged, writing to
him, his relatives and friends He
thinks she is unbalanced mentally and
is afraid of her. Since his marriage to
Miss Elsie Bierlich of Los Angeles there
has been no lessening of Miss Burkow-
sky's strange actions"
BY her action in falling to file the
peace bond as required, the Burkowsky
woman has rendered herself liable to six
months imprisonment in the county Jail,
land II found will have to do her time.
