Lieutenant Governor--General Curtis
Guild, ir.

The effort to change the resolution
came as complete surprise. Ex-Rcprc-

moved an amendment to the platform, in
the form of a plank for reciprocity with
Canada and an immediate revision of
the tariff, so as to include free coal. free
iron free steel. free hides and the ne

Instantly wave of excitement swept
the floor of the convention but after some
heated discussion the amendment was

MORE MINERS QUIT
IN ALABAMA DISTRICT

BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press
Birmingham, Ala, Oct. 3-President
Edward Flynn, of the United Mine
Workers of America, district of Ala
bama. stated today that he had issued
orders for all the miners of the Tennes-
see Coal. Iron and Railway company at
the Blue Creek and Blocton mines to
suspend work on Monday next. About
1000 men will be involved which added
to those already out in the Pratt mines
division. will make the total number of
strikers over 1000. The strike grows
out of the refusal of the company to
withhold assessments made by the
miners union for the anthracite strik-
ers from the wages of those miners
who object to paying it. Officials of the
miners union are now making cam
vass among the miners of the Shloss-
Sheffield company.

The news from Washington that no

ators who were interviewed think that

tration seems to be gone. will gradually

MITCHELL'S COUNTER
STATEMENT

After all the statements had been
presented the president asked Mr.. Nit
Chell if he had anything further to
say. MIR. Mitchell said:
THE charge made by the gentlemen
that twenty murders have been COM
mitted in the anthracite coal regions
during the present strike Is untrue.
If they will name the men, and will
show that they have committed the
murders, I will resign my position.
That is fair proposition. Mr. Presi-
dent that is a fair example of how
our organization and our people are
maligncd. The truth of the matter is,
as far as I konw. there have been
seven deaths, unfortunately. No one
regrets them more than | do. Three
Of them were committed by the coal
and iron police. and no one else has
been charged with them. God knows
the miners do not escape being charged
with everything done there. They
speak about burnings. There was re-
ward offered for burnings I can
bring affidavits of Il hundred people. IL
necessary, that the lightning caused
one burning that they charged to the
United Mine Workers. Mr.. President,
] have admitted on more than one
occasion that there has been some law
lessness. but will say large portion
of such lawlcssness has been provoked
by criminals who have been brought
into the anthracite regions to recruit
the coal and iron police. I want to
say, Mr.. President that I feel very
keenly the attacks made upon me and
my people. but | came here with the
intention of doing nothing and saying
nothing that would affect reconcillia-
tion."
The president then asked the repre-
sentatives of the anthracite companies
whether they would accept Mr.. Nit
chell's proposition. They answered
mo" In response to a further Iues-
tion from the president they stated that
they would have no dealings whatever
with Mr.. Mitchell looking toward a set
tlement of the question at issue, and
that they had no other proposition to
make, save what was contained in the
statement of Mr.. Baer which was in
effect that If any man chpse to re-
sume work and had a difficulty with
his employer both should leave the
settlement Of the question to the judge
Of the court of common pleas of the
district in which the mine was loca ted.
At about 5 o'clock the conference
was brought to close, without agree

their voices against the Illegal acts and
violence of,this illegal organization and
its officers and agents. Think Of 1t,
Mr.. President, physicians have been
threatened and boycotted because they
saw fit to minister to the dying child
of some poor worker because he was
exercising his God-given right to labor
for his family and to provide for the
wants of his dying child. Members OF
the clergy have been treated likewise
for performing the offices OF the dead
to the member of family of non
union worker.
Another duty, MIR. President, and we
regard 1t as the most supreme. one

organization Is composed of young men
and boys between the ages of IA and
20, the future citizens and lawmakers

These young men and boys. during the

immature minds poisoned with the
most dangerous. anarchistic. distorted.
wicked views and errors concerning the
rights of citizenship and property that
any one can possibly conceive of: all

this, lawful and legitimate methods are

cause many Of its avowed purposes are

Queer Condition Revealed Over Ger
tain Pittsburg Nominations.

BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Harrisburg, Oct. 3.--The Dauphin
county court heard argument today on
the objection to the nomination of
George Shiras, third, H. Is. Porter and
James w. OBrien, the Citizens Demo-
cratic nominees for congress in Ale-
gheny county. The objections allege
that the nominations are illegal be-
cause they were made by committee
appointed by the Democratic county
convention, contrary to the party
rules.
Counsel for Mr. Shiras and his asso-
ciates. previous to the argument,
moved that the objections be over
ruled on the ground that copy had
not been filed in the state department,
as required by the ballot law. A
search was made of the department,
and the papers could not be found. al
though the attorneys for the objectors
claimed that they were filed by Attor-
ney Ashley, of Pittsburg.
1t was agreed by counsel that IL the
objections were not filed that the case
should fall. Mr. Ashley has been tele-
graphed to ascertain If he filed the
papers. and the result depends on his
reply.

He lntimated that there was a possi-
bility that the Interstate commerce

steps with respect to the carrying
charges on the anthracite coal roads.
Still, public sentiment. he added, was
the chief resource of the president as
to both parties to the strike.

A TREE WASH

A good tree wash is often worth
many times what it costs to apply
and will do much toward preventing
the attack of insects. A one-pound
can of concentrated lye dissolved in
two or three gallons of water makes
a very good tree wash. Another
good wash can be made of one-half
pint of pine tar, one-half pint of car
bolic acid and two gallons of soft
soap. These washes can be applied
with an old whitewash brush or a
swab made out of old rags tied on the
end of stick. These washes should
be applied two or three times to the
trunk and large limbs during the
spring before the buds come out

P0STOFFICE LOCATED

Assistant Superintendent Waters,
of the Salary and Allowance Division
of the postoffice department, was here
Monday and informed Mrs. Burrage
that the government had accepted
her proposal for a new lease on the
postofilce building.
The room will be enlarged and the
interior work changed and improved
considerably. A side entrance will be
cut on fifth street. which will allow
the Sunday crowds to be handled to
much better advantage. The new
lease will begin in April and continue
FIVE years.
The location is most central, and a
new place could have hardly been
found that would give as general
satisfaction. The room is not in the
best shape for model postoffice of
this class, but with some changing of
furniture and fixtures it will be reme-
died to considerable extent. The
will probably begin at
once, SO that before the first of April
all will be complete.
