Activity of Coal Roads.

Philadelphia, Oct. 1s.-Greater ac-
tivity is shown at the offices of the
Reading Coal and Iron company than
at any time since the anthracite coal
strike began more than five months
ago. 1t was evident that the company
expected the resumption of mining and
preparations were being made for pla-
cling cars at the mines at once. The
Reading company owns %, 900 coal cars.
All of these cars will be hurried to the
mining region. When the strike be-
gan nearly 5000 coal handlers were
laid off

False Labels.

Topeka. Oct. oO.-George H. Shar-
rift, clerk of the United States court at
Topeka, has sent out notices of the
fact that many canneries in Kansas
are sending out their products bearing
labels which represent that the goods
are put up at places in other states,
which have established reputation in
special lines. It is done in violation
of United States statute forbidding
such practices and placing heavy pen
alties upon parties who are guilty of
them. The new law will ultimately
give each state the credit for the ar
ticles it produces.

A Cure for rheumatism.

Bridgeport, Wash, Oct. 20th.-Rheu-
matism and kidney trouble seem to
be the prevailing ailments in this ter
ritory and particularly in Douglas
county.
A remarkable and plainly sure cure
has, however, recently been intro
duced.
1t is called Dodd's Kidney Pills and
although but a short time on the
market. it has already worked many
wonderful cures.
One OF the most striking of these is
that Of Mr.. John Higgins, who for a
long time suffered with rheumatism
and kidney trouble. The pains of
these diseases had combined to make
his life very miserable indeed, and he
could get nothing to do him any good
till he heard of this new remedy He
tells his experience with it in these
words:
'Dodd's Kidney Pills have done
more for my rheumatism and kidney
trouble than anything else have ever
used. There is more virtue in them
than in any other medicine and 1 will
always highly recommend them to all

Tremendous simplicitx.

New York, Oct. 17.-English moral
lists are staggered by the tremendous
simplicity of the negotiations for
bringing the coal strike to a close.
Neither sovereign nor prime minister
here could have interviewed in an in
dustrial crisis as the president has
done; nor is there any English financier
capable of playing Mr.. Morgan's part.
No labor leader has arisen in England
with Mr.. MitchelIs influence over the
workers. The strike if settled by arbi-
tration will be fresh proof, according
to English observers, that Americans
have the power of keeping their heads
while walking on the verge of high
precipice.

PRICES EASILY MAINTAINED.
Settlement of Coal Strike Removes
Business Handicap.
VERY SPEEDY RESTORATION.

New York, Oct 2O-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Trade Review says that
the settlement of the coal strike re-
moves the only serious handicap to
industrial progress. Five months of
restricted fuel production has begun to
check the wheels at many manufacture
ing centers, while there was a percep-
tible diminution in consumptive de-
mands as the purchasing power of the
wage earners steadily decreased.
Savings have been exhausted and
much money has gone out of the coun-
try because of this struggle, but the
nations remarkable strong position
assures a speedy restoration of pros
porous conditions Transportation is
now the worst feature, and threatens
to continue disturbing. While the
grain crops are being moved the supply
of rolling stock and motive power will
prove INSULT cient, although every effort
is made at the shops, liberal premiums
being offered for early delivery. That
the railways are we'll occupied is evil
denced by earnings for the first week
of October 3.5 per cent larger than last
year and 1919 per cent above 1900.
Inadequate supplies of fuel caused
further banking of furnaces, but the
effect of decreased output of domes-
tic pig iron has been partially neu-
tralized by larger arrivals from
abroad. Footwear shops are actively
engaged, many producers having add
ed to their long list of orders, and
while practically all of the New Eng
landf manufacturers are assured full
time up to the end of the year, they
a1 also taking orders for deliveries in
MECH. Prices are easily maintained.
IS t6cr is slightly weaker, owing to
thSlas' arp fall in hides, which has been
accentuated by the poorer quality now
coming on the market In cotton
goods the feature was purchase OF
about $50. 900 pieces of print cloths.
While quotations were not altered, the
tone became decidedly firmer.
Failures for the week numbered 206
in the United States against 229 last
year, and "a in Canada, compared with

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct 16.-The arbi-

the movement of men returning to
work The prospect for coal supply
is by no means bright If the miners
should accept the arbitration plan of

two weeks before the details of send
ing them back could be worked out.
