Nine Workers are Well Fixed
Financially-President Baer
on Situation.

| Chicago, Aug. 2O.-A fight to the
bitter end is the way President John
Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers
today put the situation in the anthra-
cite coal strike. He said he saw
nothing for him to do in the strikd
but hold his men firm. Even an ap-
peal to the American people for inter-
lcession, he thought would be of no
avail. Il see nothing ahead but STRIFE
he said. There are many rumors of
action by influential people to bring
about a speedy settlement of the strike,
but these have all been vague, and at
present l know of none on foot. Our
position is almost too we'll known to
repeat We favor arbitration. Since
the operators. however, viii not bulge,
the fight resolves itself into pro-
longed struggle. The weakest will
lose. The mine workers are we'll fixed

Clarke, u photographer of this city re-
Gently addressed Il letter to President
Baer, of the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad company appealing to him as
la Christian to settle the miners strike.
The writer said if Christ was taken
more into our business affairs there
would be less trouble in the world and
if Baer granted the strikers slight
concession they would gladly return
to work and the president of the Phil
adelphia and Reading Railroad Com
pary would have the blessing of God
and the respect of nation. Baer re-
piled as follows:
Il see YOU are evidently biased in
your religious views in favor of the
right of the working man to control
business in which he has no other in
terest than to secure fair wages for the
work he does. l beg of you not to be
discourag ged. The rights and interests
of the laboring man will be protected
and cared for. not by labor agitators
but by the Christian man TO whom God
in his infinite wisdom has given con-
troll Of III property interests cf the
country. l',ay earnestly hat the right
may triumph. always remembering that
the Lord God omnipotent still reigns
and that his reign is one of law and
order and not of violence and crime"

three essential features that have
made the great stage success of the
past few years and upon those three
qualities is based the success of Too

wholesome laugh. situation that are

may be found in everyday life In any
Dunkard community. For 1t is the
simple and honest belief of the sect
called Dunkards that has furnished
the foundation for the comedy. Every.
one knows of the quaint and loveable
natures of the upright, G~od-fearins
Dunkard, and that is a guarantee that
any comedy, which borrows its hui
NOR. its pathcs, and Its picturesque
ness from the Dunkards. must be good

Hon. J.. S. Atherly returned last

the body of Allen Faulkner, the AL
bany county young man who was kill

The sensational story published
about foul play is denounced by Mr..
Atherly as without one. thing of truth
upon which to base 1t. The young
man was walking in the yards at
Glenns Ferry. which is a small place.

detached from a passenger train back

the young man fell beneath the wheels

Mr.. Atherly is particularly hurt at
the report that the people of Glenns
Ferry believe in the foul play theory.
He says they almost to a man looked
upon the matter as an accident, and
did all they could for the unfortunate
man.. He was taken up after the acct
