MINERS RETURN ID THEIR WORK
For the Corona Coal and Iron
 Company
AGREEMENT ON OLD SCALE
Men Greatly Pleased and VIII Resume Work In Three Mines Today-sit- uatIon at Galloway Mines Un.
 changed, Says Pres. Flynn.

The trouble between the members of the United Mine Workers Union and the Corona Coal and Iron Company has been arranged. A scale of wages for the com ing year has been signed, and the work men at the mines will return to their duties today.
 The settlement of the differences was effected through the efforts of President Ed Flynn and National Organizer Kirk patrick of the union. These men went to the Corona district Tuesday. On Wednes- day they secured a conference with Horace Gibson of the Corona Company. MT Gibson Is superintendent of the mines. He presented the miners with propo- sition to sign a schedule for work on the same basis as that of last year.
 This schedule Is to apply to the mines at Lockhart, Corona, Coal Valley and Palos. The miners then held a meeting. and, under the advice of Messrs. Flynn and Kirkpatrick. agreed to sign the new articles and return to work on last year s scale.
 The settlement of the scale question with this company is very pleasing to the | miners of the district. It indicates that the members of the "Pittsburg combine" !" as the Corona Company Is called, are will ing to give generous treatment to their workmen.
 When seen yesterday President Flynn stated that he had Just returned to the city, but that he had information to the effect that there was no change in the situation of the strike at the Galloway Companys mines Tn Walker county. The men are still out and will remain out un- til they secure settlement on last years basis, he said.

THE MACH|N|STS
 NOW ON STRIKE
Give Their Version of the Local
 Situation
CINCINNATI MEN RETURN
The Alleged Misrepresentation of Con dltions Answered From superntend- ent Frazer's Office-Men Look To
 Mir. Spencer for Conference.

'The machinists brought here from Cin- cinnati to take the places of the striking machinists in the Alabama Great South ern Railroad shops did not go to york;
 This statement was made by the press committee of the striking machinists yes- terday afternoon. The committee con- sists of Harry Hughes, A. T. Gulley and L. c. Montgomery.
 "The Cincinnati machinists did not only not go to work" said MT. Hughes, 'but nine of them returned to Cincinnati yes terday and the other five go today. They tell us that the situation in Birmingham was misrepresented to them and that they were not informed that they were to take the places of machinists now on a strike. When they learned of this fact they refused to go to work and decided at once to return to their homes.
 ''The outlook" continued MT. Hughes, lis brighter for the machinists than at any other time since the strike was be- gun. We expect a settlement in the near future. Everything looks we'll for @ con- ference in the near future with President Spencer. and we believe that when MT. Spencer has the true situation presented to him there will be an immediate settle ment of the difficulties"
 Cincinnati Man Talks.
 James M. Hunt, one of the machinists brought hero to work for the Alabama Great Southern road. made the following statement yesterday afternoon relative to the representations made to him:
 "At the time I was first approached with reference to coming to Birmingham I was en route to a place in Ohio where I had secured a situation. By accident I met MT. Morgan. who claimed to be the claim agent of the Alabama Great Southern road, and he made statement to me. in which the advantages of Bir- mingham were gloriously pictured. He said there were some promotions to be made in the shops, and that from infor- nation he had respecting my ability would receive one of them.
 When I reached here found there was strike in force, and that the rep resentatlons made me were incorrect. Consequently I refused to go to work. Other men with me were given the same representations, and they refused to go to work in consequence.
 "If I am unsuccessful in obtaining employment at some shops other than the Alabama Great Southern or the Southern I will return home"
 The Roads Statement.
 MT. Jackson, chief clerk in the office of Superintendent Frazer's office, gave the following statement when questioned regarding the statement of the machin- ists:
 "Our MT. Morgan was sent to Cincinnati with instructions to secure machinists for the shops at this place. His instruc- tions were to explain the conditions ex- istant thoroughly This he did, and the men brought here knew al lof the con- ditions in existence here. We made no attempt to deceive or misrepresent facts to any of them. I do not know why some of them have returned if they have only know they came here with the avowed purpose of working. and that some have failed to do so.'

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.
Officer Issued an Order Against Cigar cite Smoking and Causes lIl-FeeIlng.

Flora. Ind, July 1s-About o'clock this morning a would-be assassin at- tempted the life of Thomas Collins, night marshal, by firing a shot at him. There Is considerable feeling here against Col Ens, as 1t is alleged that he exercises too much authority for an officer of his lim- tted rank. Recently he issued an order to arrest the first person found smoking . cigarette inside the corporate limits This aroused much iil-feeiing against him, and it Is the supposition that ene- mics are plotting to get him out of the way.

A COOL PROPOSITION And a Sure One The Body Does Nor Feel Heat Unpieasantiy if
 You Use GRAPE NUTS
KEEP COOL FROM PROPER HOT
 WEATHER FOOD.

People can live in temperature which feels from ten to twenty degrees cooler than their neighbors enjoy, by regulating the breakfast.
 The plan Is to avoid meat entirely for breakfast; use goodiy allowance of fruit, either cooked or raw. Then follow with a saucer containing about four heap ing teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts. treated with little rich cream Add to this about two slices of entire wheat bread. with a meager amount of butter. and serve one cup of Postum Food Coffee,
 If one prefers. the Grape-Nuts can be turned into the cup of Food Coffee. giv- ing delightful combination, By this selection of food the bodily energy Is pre- served, while the hot. carbonaceous foods have been left out. The result Is very marked difference in the temperature of the body. and to this comfortable condi- ton is added the certainty of easy and perfect digestion. for the food is readily worked up by the digestive machinery.
 Experience and experiment in food and its application; to the human body has brought out these facts. They can be made use of and add materially to the comfort of the user.

WARRANTS TO WED Are Not Often Applied for On Friday.

Friday Is considered an unlucky day by all persons about to be married or about to seek marriage licenses Whether 1t is superstition or the result of a custom. the fact is positive that few persons buy rights to marry at the office of the pro- bate judge on the 'unlucky'' day. Yester- day. for instance. only one White couple applied to the clerk for license. They were MT. Milton D. Reid and Miss Lena Sar- tell. Their application was granted.

Announcement.
HINT TO LEAVE
Withdrawal Of Foreign Troops
a Necessary Preliminary.

New York. Jan. ga Herald dispatch
from Pekin says:
viceroy Ii Hung Chang in an inter
view today said:
I'VE are indeed grateful to the Ameri-
can government for the gradual evac1-
alton Of Pc Chi Ii The quicker it is
done the better It will save the situa-
ton, which has been growing worse.
We have conformed to the demands
of the powers SO far as we can. Now we
need assistance in the execution of de
tails. I know Pc Chi Iii province. I gov
erned it for 20 years. and have therefore
the right to be listened TO when I say
after considering all the circumstances,
evacuation is advisable-indeed neces-
sary. Should the American proposition
be received with favor the task now
taxing our strength becomes easy.
Those both at home and abroad who
openly and secretly oppose q peaceabls
settlement will be COMPOUNDED.
when the troops leave the dream OF
peace viii become q reality.
These armed expeditions are a great
menace. never breathe freely while
one is out. The soldiers simply live on
the people, that alone would be a terri
BILE tax on their exhausted resources:
but that is not all. Reports reach me
continually from agistrates and from
equal confidence which I cannot conf
nlunicate even to the generals.
The gradual evacuation which the
American government so opportunity
proposes Is the solution of all our trou-
b1es. When it begins the commercial
and all the usual relations will be re-
Sumed and the anxieties which have OPP
pressed us viii vanish.
There is not the slightest design on
the part of China to do less than we
have agreed to do, but we ask the pow
ers not to insist on the impossible. but
to help US in consideration of our intel
execute the demands to which in order
to avoid war we have to accede.
There is not one word of truth in the
story that Chinese troops are pouring
into the province Of Pc Chi Ii. There is
not a. single soldier within the district
mapped out by Marshal Won Waldersee
as being under foreign jurisdiction. Out
side these limits we are collecting few
hundred soldiers to take over police du-
ties when the foreigners leave. That is
all

IDENTITIES must be developed from the
preliminary treaties not only with con-
sideration of what is wanted, but with
comprehension as to what China can

repute at present, we are polite people.
Ministers come to me every day asking
when the emperor will return. cannot
answer. Would that not be rude. as

erages, wherewith the youth OF our
state are being educated toward drunk
enness pauperism and crime, Mrs. Ma
ton is a very disagreeable and wicked
person However, until hear that she
has assaulted some law-abiding individ-

Mortified by her original and rather
heroic methods. It would seem that
there are some species of la.wIessness in
Kansas which the laws and their sworn
officials utterly fail or refuse to reach.
I scarcely see how those who encourage
lawlessness in the jointists can with
much propriety criticise Mrs. Nation
As between the two my sympathies are
with the person who tears down rather
than the one who sets up joints in KAN
sas. People who persistently spit on the
laws have mighty small claims on the
laws protection

of the W. C. T. u, in addition to her
prominence in other public movements,

approve of Mrs Nations method. ]
like to see Chief Stahl smash them or
any other proper officer. It is not well
to adopt 1aWless methods to suppress
IaWless business and it is not right fo1
law abiding people to stand behind law
breaking evene when it contemplate
suppressing a faWIess business. The w.
c. T. u. should not be held responsible
for Mrs. Nations crusade. That is not
their way of enforcing law. But Mrs.
Nations crusade has done something
good 1t has called attention to the ter
rible condition Of things and has crea-
ted sentiment
Mrs Annie L. Diggs: 'sIt amuses me-.
I haven't got by that stage yet. I see
the comedy and the absurdity of Ole
woman starting out to do what the law
has failed to accomplish. But can see
the tragic part Of it too. Now when
everybody tumbles on poor Mrs. Nation
for committing some mischief that does
not compare with the enormity of the
mischief that the whisky sellers do, it
isn't altogether deserved. She is not in
sane She has seen the horror of what
liquor will do in the death of her first
husband and the homes 1t has sad
