OPERAT0RSFlRM
HELD IN NEW YORK
CITY TO DISCUSS THE AN
THRAcITE STRiKE.
NO CHARGE IN THE SITUATION

Statement Made That All Talk of Con.
eessions on the Part of the Employ
ers ls e!holly Without Foundation.
Only Way to End the TROUBLE They
Say, Is for the Miners to Return to
Work at Old Wages.
New York, Sept. ia conference
Of the. leading anthracite coal inter-
estsl was held during the afternoon at
the Philadelphia and Reading COM
Pany's Offices. Those present includ-
ed President Baer of the Reading road,
President Truesdale of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western, President
Fowler of the New York, Ontario and
Western, President Walters of the
Lehigh Valley, President Olyphant of
the Delaware and Hudson, Irving
Stearns of Coke Bros. & Co., and John
Markle of G.. B. Markle G. Co. The
two last named represented the indie
pendent operating interests in the hard
coal industry.
The precise subjects of the confer
ence could not be learned, but it was
stated in advance of the meeting that
no concessions would be granted and
that recent events of semi-political
character would not be seriously con-
sidered.
Following a meeting with J. P. Nor
gan John Markle made this statement:
81 do not think it necessary to repeat
that all talk of concessions on the part
of the operators is foolish and GER
tainly without foundation. Our posi-
ton now is the same as when Mitchell
made the original proposition and no
different than when the strike began.
I'VE said then that we would make
no concessions and we repeat it now.
There is no reason why this should not
be understood. The operators have
shown that they mean it, and l repeat
only by way of emphasis.
There is just one way to end the
strike--by the men returning to work
and every day they remain away by
giving willing ears to Mitchells spa
cious promises will only entail further
loss and suffering to them. Conditions
are improving daily; more men are re-
turning to work and more coal is being
mined.
so far as recent attempts at set
Element are concerned it is only neces'
sary to add that every effort from Sen
ator Hannas down has been futile.
We have defined our position and will
maintain it..

{ Guthrie. o. T, April 2s.-The matter Of

the fact that the county clerks determined
II ascertain upon what basis their com
pensations were based, a request was
made to the attorney general for a ruling
on the matter.
The opinion, which IS complete, cites
the laws and after authorizing the gov
ernor to audit the bills Of the officers who
are entitled TO salaries dependant upon
the money derived from the sale of town
lots in the new country, states that the
sheriffs. probate judges and registers ot
deeds must compensate themselves from
the fees secured in the transacting of the
business Of their Office in the ordinary af-
fairs Of the Office. The salary from fees
To be secured by these officials are, de
rived, to a certain extent, from a certain
population of the various counties where
they are located. yet it expressly provides
that the salaries must come out Of the
fees paid in. and makes no provision in
case the fees of the Office are not suffi
cient to run the office and pay the incum-
bents of the said offices their salaries.
Governor Ferguson has recommended
that the sheriffs and probate judges, as
well as the register of deeds in the new
country, be allowed fees where the inhab-
hants of the. counties reach 5000. which
mmendation has been approved by
the attorney general yet in case the
amount is not considered sufficient. there
is no provision whereby the salaries can
be paid out of the townsite funds.
The attorney general states that in
cases where the officials are to be paid
from the sale Of town lots, that
the salaries should be paid for the en-
tire year of 1902 out Of the fund The
stated to the attorney general
that it would be impossible to collect |
taxes for the pay Of officials or the run

PAlNE'S CELERY

II in springtime. sick psople-young

To delay the work OF banishing disease,
regulating the nerves, purifying the

serious mistake.
When the blood is sluggish, impure
and poisoned. when the nervous system
is unbalanced. when digestion is de-
ranged, and the appetite poor and var
liable, be assured your condition is criti-
cal, and calls for instant attention before
the summer months bring additional
dangers.
At this time the use Of Paine's Celery
Compound will do marvellous work for
every run down, sick, and diseased man
and woman.
It's life giving work first commences
with the blood, which is made clean and
pure; then the nerves are quickly set
in order. digestive vfgor is fully restored,
the appetite is made natural. sleep Is
refreshing. and the desponding heart is
made light and joyous.
IT is well TO bear in mind that Paine's
Celery Compound owes its origin to the
most distinguished physician that this
American continent ever produced, and
his marvellous prescription is publicly
indorsed by our best and ablest physi-
clans.

pointed in the past will promptly start
