RETAIL CLERKS UNION.
1t Is Making Progress in the Earl,
Closing Movement.

The Retail Clerks Union held a very
interesting meeting last night in the
Federated Trades Hall. The meeting
was in session at very late hour and
much important business was trans
acted.
support is promised for the early
closing movement by several of Sacra-
mento's leading society ladies who are
in hearty sympathy with the work that
the union is doing IN closing the stores
at d o'clock, thereby giving the en-
ployes their evenings at home or else
where as they think best
The merchants who are now closing
seem to be perfectly satisfied thus far
with early closing and it only remains
with the public to show their appre
citation of the same to keep them so.
The few houses that are holding ont
may perhaps, think that ii is to their
best interests TO help good cause
along ere long and fall in line with the
others.
The union will give an open meeting
week after next, date to be announced
later, at which ladies are to be spec
tally invited.
A very fine programme is promised
a mandolin club, quartet and some So
loists being among the volunteers.
This meeting Will be of special inter
est TO salesladies.

prostrated At this time We called an emf

nosis of our physician. He prescribed q
course of treatment and we followed it faith
fully for three months. but instead of inn
proving Florence failed.
"A brother ofmy wife who resided in Cana.
da, but was visiting us. advised US to use DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and
purchased box of the pills and began to
give them to Florence. This was in October,
1896. After using the pills a short time we
could see improvement. Her strength be-
gan to return and her appetite was restored.
When she had taken one box the pains in
her back and stomach ceased and her re.
covery seemed certain.
"We eagerly purchased a second box of
pills and watched with delight the change fo-
the better that was being wrought daily.
Florence finally became strong enough to
walk little. She gained in flesh and
strength rapidly. By the time she had used
three boxes of the pills she was evidently
we'll. We continued the treatment using
another box, the fourth, to prevent the pos
sibility of a recurrence of the difficulty.

STRIKE AT SOME MORE MINES.
Hungarians and Italians Boss the job and
1000 Men Are Idle.

HaZelton, Pa, Aug. 2S-The expected
strike at Van Wyckle's Colraine ard
Beaver Meadow colleries took place yes
terday morning. The Hungarians and
Italians are masters of the situation, and
1000 men are idle pending the decision of
the foreign element. Thursday night the
foreigners held meeting, and at late
hour they visited the homes Of their
countrymen, pulled them out of bed and
delivered the edict. When the officials
arrived at No. colhry they found the
mine door closed and a placard bearing
the word "Stragk' placed upon it. This
was the announcement Of the strike.
Two hundred men marched to the ca
nal. where they were Joined by leo more.
They then went 10 the breaker. The
bosses and ccal and iron police tried to
stop them. but they were hustled aside
aud the breaker was cleared. The car
penters and blacksmiths were driven
fro mthe shops. Four hundred strikers
on their way from Beaver Meadow to
AIlnesville marched through this city
shortly before noon. The distance be-
tween Beaver Meadow and Milnesville Is
six miles The reporter for the Asso-
ciated Press talked with the leaders and
il was learned that the Hungarians and
Italians want TO be recognized on the

ers. The English miners they claim. get

The streets were crowded with men and
women, great crowds going from this
city TO Milnesville with the strikers.
Last night meeting was held and the
Hupgarians decided TO stand by the

coal operators in the Pittsbarg dis

in revolt against the "big 13" or

the mines in operation at the rate
demanded by the miners next week.
il the miners officials will allow
their men to return to work. In
stead of selling their product to
the "big IS" as heretofore, they
will forward to different markets

said if the small operators could

would readily give his consent to
their plans and resume work.

RATCHFORD TO THE OPERATORS.
Replies TO the Statement That lie Opposed
u Conference on Arbitrator.

Columbus, o., Aug. 2S.-President
Ratchford, Of the United Mine Workers,
yesterday issued a statement replying
TO the operators of the Pittsburg dis
trict. The statement in part is as fol-
lows: "On July the strike was or
dered 10y our executive council. and for
six long weeks the operators made no
effort to bring 1t to a close. and then
only by forcible methods. Their first
meeting was held in Cleveland. where
they determined to build stockades at
some of their mines in Pittsburg, to em-
ploy PinkertOn detectives and use CAT
ling guns, and to this end decided to
bear the expenses mutually of SEQ. 900 to
carry their plans into operation. One
week later they called conference of
the miners representatives to meet
them Jointly and endeavor to settle the
difference by arbitration. Had the op-
orators really intended to bring about
a satisfactory solution OF this trouble
they would have first met the miners.
who are always ready TO meet with
them
The public Is advised by them that we
are opposed to arbitration: that We
decline to attend a conference, and in
fact that we will do nothing that is
fair TO end the present struggle: and
further. that our organization Is being
supported by operators in other states.
who want to continue the strike. as wei.
as various other things calculated to
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1897-08-28

change the course OF public cpInion.
From the beginning of this strike to the
present time we have advised in favor
OF a conference OF all the fields in
volved, and still invite it. We have
never during that time been asked by
the operators of any field to take part
in a conference of any character. We
have not opposed arbitration, and do
not oppose it. but rather oppose the
basis upon which it is offered.
First. because it is not based upon a
living rate of wages as proposed by the
operators; second, because it is only
proposed in one of the five states in
volved in this suspension. State lines
know 10 competition in the coal busi-
ness. Our strike covers a great coal
field, and our men employed by OPERA
tors many Of whom have large interests
in the various states, and we take the
position that if arbitration would settle
this question it should be Of a general
character. and it must be based upon
q living rate Of wages" Ratchford then
states the proposition made by the min
ers at the Pittsburg conference. It has
been substantially covered in these dis.
patches.
He then proceeds: 1.-The charge that
our organization has the support of 9TH
er operators, and that some of them
have assessed the miners to raise funds
TO continue the strike or to inaugurate
1t, Is wholly unfounded. Our miners, in
every state where it is found con-
ventent, have their taxes to the organi.
cation deducted from their wages by the
company who pays it over to the local
treasurer This custom prevails
more generally in Pennsylvania than
elsewhere, SO that there Is no room for
the Pittsburg operators to raise OBJ
jections to that which they themselves
have practiced. The representa-
tives of the 10000 miners now on
strike are ready to meet their employers
at any time or place that may be con-
venient to them-not as miners of Ohio.
West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Indiana
or Illinois, but as miners of a great coal
field, whose interests everywhere are
identical"

WAS s,rUGGLED INTO THE BILL.
Section 22 of the Tariff Act Senator Chan.
dler's Statement.


Boston, Aug. 2S-In a letter Senator
Chandler. referring to the section of the
new tariff law imposing a 10 per cent.
extra duty on all foreign products COM
ing through Canada into the United
States holds that the legislation was
passed by writing it as new matter into
a conference report, where it was adopt
ed by both houses of congress without
being noticed by more than those persons
engaged in the scheme. The senator
points out that the conference committee
went beyond its powers when it inserted
this important amendment into a clause
of the law about only five words of
which the senate and house had dis
agreed.
Continuing, Chandler says: Fer my
self, regret to say that did not notice
what the conferrees had done Senator
Cannon in open session asked whether
they intended to do anything but settle
differences between the two houses
whether they intended to put any Hew
matter into the bill-and Senator Allison
replied emphatically that of course they
did not. But the provision was inserted,
and as no attention was called to ii in
the report it was passed without being
noticed. Having had experience with
conference reports. which should have
warned me to read every word OF this
report. i have no excuse to offer for
not doing so. I hope to be forgiven by
my constituents. but shall never for
give myself"
