wien Advance Is Pledged
by All Companies.

IINXIETON. Pa, oct. 23.-l'rcsidcnt
Mitchell i'm am interview last night prac-
ticully admitted that the anthracite coal
miners ~uil.r would end ais SOON as all
the operators posted notice Slarantcc-
ing the payment of "A 10 per cent advance
in wages until April l. President Mitch
ell said:
"Thc prospect of an early settlement of
the coal strike is becoming brighter. some
of the operators who have not yet posted
uuticr~ ~guifAmg their Willingness Ia fan
IN line either with the Reading company
or with the proposition made 10y the Lc-
high Valley company in the ilazlcton re-
gion. Ii all of them notify their en-
ploycc> by posting notices or otherwise
that an actual advance of 10 per cent
will hc paid each mine employee and
guarantee its continuance until April J.,
together with tn" abolition of the Sliding
scale | believe that the terms would lac
accepted 10y the mine workers. The re-
ductiuu i'm powder from $50 to - has
confused the miners. but some of the OPP
orators have 50 fully explained how CON
tract miners could receive the full adj
vance of 10 per cent as well rs all other
employees that believe this obstacle can
be oVcrcOmc.'
Although as President Mitchell says,
the outlook for an early settlement of the
strike is bright, it is difficult to make a
prediction as to when the end will come.
Some of the coal companies are showing
disposition not to issue Il second notice
guaranteeing the payment of the I'D per
cent increase in wages until April. Among
these are the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western and the Delaware and Hudson,
the officials of which companies are re-
ported to have declined to issue Il supple
mental notice. The labor leaders, how
ever, hope that the companies will in
some way make known that they will
guarantee the payment of the advance
until April /.
President Mitchell appeared quite
cheerful when he made the announce
nent as above, and his manner indicated
that the time is near ut hand when all
the anthracite miners now on strike shall
return to the mines.

John Sherman was born in Lancaster
O., on May 10, 1923. He was the eighth
in family of II children, the late Cen
eral William Tecumseh sherman being
the sixth child. Their mothers maiden
name was Mary Hoyt. Their father, for
five years justice of the Ohio supreme
court, was Il descendant of the Rev. John
Sherman of Essex, England, who came
TO America in 1884. On the death of JUS
ticc Sherman in 1929 the family became
scattered and Il cousin of the name of
j ohm Sherman took young John and sent
him to school. The boy was prepared for
college. Desire to become self support
ing led him, however, to joint a corps of
surveyors and engineers, with whom he
worked for two years. He then studied
law in the office of his brother Charles
and was admitted to the bar on May IL,
1911. He practiced law in partnership
with his brother at Mansfield, o., until
he was elected representative in con-
gress in 1854.
Somewhat before his first appearance
in the national legislature John Sherman
had, ON Aug. 80, 1913, married Cecilia
Stewart, daughter of Judge Stewart of
Mansfield. O. She was his companion
throughout a long public career, and her
death last spring marked the beginning
of Mr.. Sherman's rapid decline.
Sherman was for nearly half Il cen
fury Republican leader upon financial
questions and was the originator of many
important laws. In particular he was
the author of the specie redemption plan
of the Sherman act of 1879. The length
of his continuous public service brief
review suilices to show. After member
ship in successive congresses from $50,
to 1861 he was chosen United States
senator and was twice reelected before
becoming secretary of the treasury un
der r. b. Hayes. He went back to Tho
senate at the close of the four years
term in 1881 and represented Ohio unit
1897, when he became President Me
Kinley's secretary of state. From thu
office failing health caused his retlremen
two years ago. Sherman published hi
own record of his career in The Rec
objections of Forty Years In the House
