PlrrsBURGH, Pa, July 24.-Besides
what they term n battle for bread, the Of
fcials Of the United Mine Workers have
arranged to make a battle in the courts
for money. 1t will be for money in
the hands of certain operators in
the Pittsburgh district, kept from
the wages of the men who
went on strike. In accordance
with instructions received from Ma
tional President Ratchford and the
members of the national executive
board, the local district officials have
placed the matter in the hands of their
attorneys and suits are to be brought
for more than Sl2, 900, the amount
strikers have forfeited. The
suits will be brought on the
validity of ironclad contracts which
the men signed. In these contracts it
was agreed that, as a guarantee of good
falth on the part of the employe, the
employer should retain ten per cent. of
the employees wages. When the men
struck this money was declared for
fcitcd and withheld from them by the
operators.

Mans Two Best Friends.

Mans two best friends are said to be a
gun and a dog. 1t is easy to get a good dog,
but hard to get a good gun. The guns made
by the Winchester Repeating Arms Co.,
New Haven, Ct, are not only always good,
but they are acknowledged the best made in
the world. For years the Winchester has
been the standard OF the world, and to any
one who has studied or examined its many
points of superiority its popularity is not
and shot guns made by the Winchesters are
in demand all over the world. Although
they cost comparatively little, they are bet
ter than the highest priced hand made guns
in every way. Winchester ammunition is
of the same high grade as Winchester guns
and can always be relied upon. Send for a

A THIRD BRIDGE


at St Louis.
ST. Louis, July 2A-Within the next
80 DAYS a commission Of government
engineers will arrive in the city to To-
cate the third bridge over the Missis-
sippi river between st. Louis and
East. st. Louis. This commission
was provided for in the char
ter granting the company II
right to build the bridge under the
three-quarter mile limit. Everything
has been arranged for their coming,
and as o as they get through with
their work the company will proceed
with the work of letting the contract
for the construction of the bridge.
1t will be the duty of the commission
to take testimony. make estimates ana
measurements, and finally fix the To-
cation of the bridge. Under the ex-
isting law it will be impossible for the
new company to select Il site within
three-auurterso of a mile of either of the
old bridges.
1t is thought that the site will be
near the foot of either Mullanphy or
Florida streets, but until the commits
sion makes its report it will be lmpos-
sible for the company to proceed.
