.L|NEMEN ON STRIKE
Twenty Employees of New TeIe.
phone Company Quit
Work.
Trouble Has Been Brewing for
Some Time-May
Arbitrate.

The differences that have been
pending for some time between the
Union Electric Telephone & Tele-
graph company and linemen employed
in installing the system in the three
cities came to head last evening,
when the men held a meeting at the
Industrial building and voted TO
strike. Efforts made this morning to
reach a settlement failed. About
twenty men are out.
II The main point of contention is the
H employing by the company of nom
union foremen and helpers. On this
score there has been more or less
| trouble since the company began OPP
erations here. The company insisted
| that the rights of the union to regu-
late the employees did not extend to
the foremen and has steadily employ
ed both union and non-union men in
that capacity.
| Threats of Strike.
| There have been several threatened
| strikes, the latest of which took place
last Monday, a temporary arrange
ment being effected and the ma jority
of the men continuing at work. Sew
eral conferences have taken place
within the past few days.
Manager Fitzgerald states that the
company is ready to live up to the
terms of an agreement that was made
with the linemen some time ago and
which calls for arbitration in case a
serious disagreement arises. Accord
ing to that instrument both sides Of
fer to leave the case in the hands of
a board of arbitrators composed of
two men, one appointed by the union
and one by the company, the two, if
they fail to agree, to appoint third
member. SO far no steps have been
taken to resort to settlement by
this method.
VIII BE No Delay.
Today there were no lincmen at
work, but Mr.. Fitzgerald stated that
the installing of the system would
not be delayed, as the work has pro-
crossed to such Il degree that what
the linemen have been doing can be
done by men working in other de-
partments.

A Car Load Of Dime.

One would naturally think that the pack.
age dye business was small Industry. but
there is more than one million dollars worth
OF package dyes sold in the United States
every year.
One of the largest package dye factories
IN the world is that of the Putnam Fadeless
Dyes Co, Unionyille, Mo. In this factory
alone, three million packages of Putnam
Fadeless Dyes are made every year. To
put up this amount of dyes requires the
handling of seven million of envelopes. think
OF it, seven millions of envelopes laid length.
WISE would reach a distance of seven hun
dred miles; if laid one upon the other they
would make a pile of Putnam Fadeless DYES
hsn miles high; As each envelope has to be
plete, the completion of three millions of
packages requires that they be handled
thirty-five, million times. This of course
gives employment to number of people,
the Putnam Fadeless Dye Company alone
employ. almost hundred people, 80 per
cent. of whom are young ladies.
AS each package retails for lOc the weight
OF the retail price of the three millions pack

THIS is SIMPLY WONDERFUL.

Champion, Mich, March 18th, Mrs.
A. Wellett, wife of a local photog-
rapher has had a remarkable expert
ence recently.
Mrs. Wellett tells the story this way:
II could not sleep, my feet were cold,
my limbs cramped. Ihad an awful hard
pain across my back. 1 had to get up
three or four times every night. Twas
very nervous and fearfully despond-
ent. had very little appetite.
after I had suffered in this way for
five years I began to use Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. When 1 had taken a few
pills you ought to have seen what came
from my kidneys. It looked like a
spoiled egg only darker.
81 kept on using Dodd's Kidney Pills
till was cured! Now can sleep well
and do not have to get up in the night,
I have no pain in my back or limbs and
feel better than have for years."

DRESS ACCESSORIES.
Collars, Ties, Belts and Other Small
Features That Are Now Much
In Favor.

"Trif1es" are of more Importance
than women sometimes think, for a
very ordinary dress may often ac-
quire an elegance which it has not by
a well-chosen, pretty detail, be it
only a waist belt. Gloves and boots
cannot be called details; they are
necessaries, and cannot be too good
in every respect. Details mean col
lars, ties, belts, veils-everything in
fact, which is not of the dress, but
which forms the tout ensemble of a
perfect toilet. The very purse in he1
hand, the chain round the neck, the
combs in her hair, proclaim the taste
of the woman. In collars the latest
is of embroidered lawn or lace over
an under collar of black silk, says the
Washington Star.
Another model is a high band of
black velvet with a strass or jet band
in the center and sailor knot at
the back.
Transparent collars are threaded
with the narrowest black velvet rib.

at Sunbury, the dam at Clark's Ferry
will also be built up several teet. If
this information should prove to be

April 4, Next Arbor Day.
April 18 Selected as Second Choice Provid =
ing First is Not Suitable.

Governor Stone yesterday issued a
proclamation designating April 4 and
Is as Arbor days. The PROCLAMATION
states that the recent floods show the
want of forest preservation in Penn
sylvania. 1t follows:
The growing demands of our indus
tries have in recent years brought
about such rapid destruction of our
forests that it became necessary to
take active steps for their rehabilita-
tion.
The forestry department of Penn
sylvania is rapidly acquiring forest
lands and establishing forestry reser-
vations, and efforts in this direction
will be productive Of great good; but
if the ends sought are to be accom-
plished it is of vast Importance that
trees be planted upon the unproduc-
tive lands of the commonwealth in
order that the damage already done
may be In part at least repaired.
The recent floods have again en-
phasized the danger in further reduc-
ing the wooded areas. If the unpro-
ductive lands of the state were ade-
quately protected by trees the heavy
rains would pass into the streams
more slowly and the loss 10 the COM
monwealth would be infinitely less.
Owing to the frequent floods and
resultant muddy and impure water,
the cities and towns of the state are
fast realizing the necessity of obtain
ing their water supply from the head
waters of the streams. Almost all the
towns in the state can have pure water
if forest areas are maintained at the
source of suitable streams.
These conditions make it the duty
of every citizen to aid in this beneh
cent work, which, affects not only the
state at large, but each individual ir
the commonwealth.
In order that our citizens, both
young and old, may have an oppor
tunity to continue to contribute thel
share in this laudable work.
/ l. William A. Stone, governor o
the commonwealth of Pennsylvania
in accordance with law, do hereb.
designate and proclaim Friday, th'
fourth day of April, and Friday th'
eighteenth day of April A. ID. 1902
to be observed as Arbor days through
out the commonwealth.
Two days are set apart tor the ob
servance of this custom. lnasmuc
/ as the climatic conditions may rende
, one of these days more favorable to
5 the purpose intended than the Other
the selection is left with the citizen

: monwealth.
