TO End THE STRIKE
PRESIDENT MITCHELL SAYS PROS
Poets ARE BRIGHTER.
II Operators VIII All Post Notices
Guaranteeing a Ten Per Cent Adj
vance I'm wages Until April I,
President Mitchell Says He
Tanks the Miners Would Accept
and Return to Work-Some Ope-
rators Object to Posting a Sec
ond Notice = Dimcult to Predict
when the End VIII Come.

Hazleton, Pa, Oct. "a. President
Mitchell, In an interview. practically
admitted that the anthracite coa.
miners strike would end as soon as all
the operators posted a notice guaran-
teeing the payment of a 10 per cent
advance in wages until April /. Pres
ident Mitchell said: The prospect. OF
an early settlement of the coal strike
is becoming brighter. Some OF n
operators have not yet posted notlces
s%ignifying their willingness to rail- IN
line either with the Reading company
or with the proposition made ny the
Lehigh Valley company in the Hazle-
ton region. If all of them notify their
employees by posting notices or other
wise that an actual advance of 10 per
cent will be paid each mine emplOye
and guarantee it's continuance until
April 1, together with the abolition of
the sliding scale, T believe that the
terms would be accepted by the mine
workekrs. The reduction, in powder
from $2.75 to $3.50 has confused the
minds of the miners, but some Of the
operators have so fully explained how
contract miners could receive he fun
advance of 10 per cent as we'll as all
other employees that I :believe this
Obstacles Can Be Ovcrcome.'
Although. as President Mitchell
says, the outlook for an early settle
ment of the strike is bright, it is diff
ficult to make a prediction as to when
the end will I'm Some of the coal
companies are showing a disposition
not to issue a second notice guaran-
teeing the payment. Of the 10 per cent
increase in wages until April. Among
these are the Delaware, Lackawanna
& Western and the Delaware & Hud-
son, the officials of which companies
are reported to have declined to. issue
a supplemental notice. The labor
leaders, however. hope that the COM
panies will in SOM way make known
that they will guarantee the payment
Of the advance until April 1.
President Mitchell appeared quite
cheerful when he made the
ment as above, and his manner indi-
Gated that the time is near at hand
when all the anthracite miners now
OF strike shall return to the mines.
AS soon as all the notices guaran-
teeing the payment of the advance
until April 1 are posted President
Mitchell will all a meeting Of the
national executive board at which it
is believed the strike will be declared
of.

HOW A PRETTY SOCIETY GIRL
ESCAPED DREAD CONSUMPTION,
Peruna Used in Time Saved Her Life.
Airs Well That Ends Well

1t is the same old story of exposure to
cold. The cold passing down the bron-
chial tubes to the lungs the developing
of settled cold on the lungs, coughing,
eXpectoration. This is a short road to
consumption Thousands of people have
Travelled it. Thousands more will travel
it, and the coming winter will develop an
untold multitude of new cases.
In the case of Helen Murphy, the end
ing was a happy one. She started on the
road to consumption after catching cold
at reception. Instead of waiting until
she became fncurable, Peruna was re-
serted to- and her life was saved.
1t is pity that every one else in this
wide land could not know of this very eff
fective remedy in such cases. The news
is spreading fast, but a great. many peo-
pie have not yet heard that Peruna is a
sure cure in these cases.
Peruna- cures acute catarrh and chronic
catarrh; catarrh of the head and catarrh
of the lungs: catarrh of the throat and
catarrh of the stomach. Wherever catarrh
may have located itself, whether in the
digestive organs, kidneys or pelvic or
ganS, Peruna- is sure to eradicate the dis;
ease promptly.
Another case where consumption was
cheated of its prey occurred in, the state;
of Iowa. The report of the case created.
considerable attention at the time and
was furnished us unsolicited by Mr..
Hendrickson. In a letter to Dr. Hart
man. he sets forth some interesting de-
tails of this rescue from consumption He
made use of the following language:
II have been for years a constant suf-
, ferer from chronic catarrh of the head
and throat, which finally worked down
into the air passages. In the spring of
/. SO / took a severe cold and coughed all
summer. I thought had consumption.
Then I had a bad attack Of la grippe
After taking course of Peruna I feel
cured of all these troubles.
Whenever any of our children get sick
we give them Peruna, and it never fails
to cure them. l most heartily testify to
the value of Peruna in cases of catarrh
and la grippe. I hope this may be the
means of others suffering as 1 did to
take Peruna and be cured We would
not be without 1t In the house
Henry Hendrickson."
Generally the first cold of the season is
caught in November. With some people
this lasts all winter and lays the founda-
ton of chronic catarrh In the beginning
a few doses of Peruna is sufficient te
make a permanent cure

chronic catarrh. Address The Peruna

Nelson, a druggist, who, when favored
by the confidence of his neighbors two
years ago, proved himself faithless to
the confidence that had been reposed in
him by organized labor. So plain was his
attitude brought out that the legislative
committee of the Trades and Labor as
sembly has issued the following cir
cular:
The attention of the voters of the Thir-

called to one of the most vicious meas
ures that came before the house at the
last session of the legislature, known as
House. File, 49,, O'Neill Anti-Boycott
Bill" If passed and became a law if
would have deprived the Iaborlng people
of this state of the only weapon left them
for their defense against the encroach-
ments of the greedy employer.
This measure was vigorously opposed
by organized labor.
Walter Nelson, the gentleman who rep
resented said district at the last session
of the legislature, and wishes to be re-
turned voted in favor of the passage Of
this drastic bill. that would have placed
the workingmen Of this state at the
mercy Of the corporations. The bill
passed the house by a vote of 81 yeas and
Is nays, but through the action of the
senate it was defeated only receiving
8 votes in that body.
Therefore, workingmen, how can you
conscientiously vote for man who has
proven himself an enemy of the cause
of labor. Can Mr.. Nelson again be
