wIL.K EsBARRE. Pa. September %
The general superintendents of the Lehigh
Valley. Lehigh and Wnkesbarre, Delaware
and Hudson and Lackawanna coal COM
panies who had long secret meeting here
yesterday were in communication again
this morning with anthracite headquarters
in New York. There were some minor de-
tails of the new wage scale arranged at
yesterdays meeting in thfs city to be ex-
planned.
1t is said that the suggestions made at the
meeting in this city will govern the presi-
dents of the coal-carrying railroads to
great extent in formulating their plan OF
settlement with the striking mine workers
Some of those who attended the meeting
say the concessions made to the men are
ample. and that there ought to be no hesi-
tation on their part in accepting them lhe
only hitch that is expected is when II comes
to recognizing the union. PRESIDENT
Mitchell does not show conciliatory spirit
his attitude may upset all the plans under
way
Some of the smaller individual operators
are much put out because they have not
been called into the conferences recently
held by the representatives of the big COM
panies and their advice asked. They say
they have relatively just as much at stake
as the large companies. and that it would
be more than right If they were con-
suited.
OFFER May He Delayed Several Days.
Representative Morgan b. Williams,
who owns and operates the red ash mine,
and is one of the largest individual opera
tors in this section, told the Associated
Press correspondent today that he did not
expect the big coal companies would be able
to make an offer to the striking miners for
several days yet. You see, he said, IT is
IL chnl fhn mi n q
penses of all the mines in the region. The
cost of mining coal in one colliery may be
greater than in another. And then the fu-
ture must be reckoned with Floods, caves,
etc, may occur, which entail great losses at
times to the operators All these things
must be figured out, and it takes time to do
It. / do not know what conclusions the
meeting held in this city yesterday arrived
at but their findings have probably been
reviewed by this time by the presidents of
the coal companies in New York No doubt
the recommendations made by the meeting
will cut a big figure in the offer which will
be made to the strikers by the operators.
so far as my company is concerned, l
am prepared to follow any recommendation
made by the coal-carrying roads. OF
course, l expect they will do Justice to the
individual operators If they don't, then
we may have something to say later on"
Mr.. williams Calculations.
Mr.. Williams said he had been figuring
out a scale Of hts own, and he finds that If
powder is reduced to s150 a keg 1t win
mean a gain Of s2la cents to the miner for
every of coal mined.
Everything is quiet in this region this
morning. The strikers are anxiously wait
ing to hear what offer the operators are
ready to make to the men. There was very
little doing at strike headquarters. One of
the officers said:

CONGRESS IS 70 BLAME
SUFFERING IN PUERTO RICO.
II Demands Immediate Relief-A
Public Meeting Held-Many People
Are Starved, Barefoot and Ragged
"A Huge Petition.

San Juan, Puerto Rico, March 19.-At
a special meeting Of the chamber of COM
msrce recently it was decided to close all
business houses to enable the merchants
to attend an open air meeting on the
plaza, with the object of drawing up a
petition to Governor General Davis de-
handing immediate congressional decision
on the tariff one way or the other. The
agreements were sent to all towns
throughout Puerto Rico, requesting like
demonstrations. The feeling of uncer-
tainty regarding the tariff holds business
practically at standstill, the merchants
beinfi afraid to order goods or to advance
funds on the planters accounts. The
meeting was conducted in calm and bust
ness-ike manner. The merchants will be
satisfied to accept any decision of con-
gress-either free trade, the rs per cent
or the Is per cent tariff-but they ask
for a settlement Of the question so that
business activity may be resumed. They
decided to take this unparalleled step only
after mature deiberation.
Begging for Food.
Sixty country women marched from
Narantjito last evening and petitioned
General Davis to save them from star
walton and to provide work and food.
The women presented most pitiablt
sight. They were barefooted and ragged
half naked, dust covered and weary from
their journey.
The petition which they presented t.
the governor general tells the story o
the depressing times, no work and thu
price Of rice, beans and bread beyont
reach, fruits destroyed and the relief sup
plies discontinued, bringing them anc
others where they came from almost t.
starvation. General Davis promised relic
to the party, and requested the mayor t.
provide them transportation. His repl.
was that there was not peso in tn
treasury, and that the police were We
unpaid for their last two months work
Similar parties are expected from othe

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

By local applications. rs they cannot reach tho
diseased portion Of the ear. There Is only one
way to cure deafness. and that Is by consti-

Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound imperfect hear
Ing. and when It is entirely closed. Deafness
Is the result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out. and this tube restored to its
