TAKE EFFECT November |.
If Any Award Is Made BY Commits
sion Affecting Wages.
ANOTHER DEEP MINES TRIP.

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 3.-The first i'm
portant action by the anthracite coal
strike commission, which is arbitrating
the differences existing between the
miners and their employers was taken
and the action of the commission was
announced in the following comm dni-
cation:
Voted unanimously that if the COM
mission, at the conclusion of its hear
ings and deliberations, makes any
award affecting existing rates of
wages, such awards shall take effect
from November /, 1902"
1t is possible that the commission
may make a preliminary report on
three strike questions. They are the
increase in wages, a shorter work day,
and the weighing of coal. After these
have been decided the commission can
take up all other questions without
undue haste. 1t is known that the
commissioners have this feature under
consideration and it is very likely a
preliminary report will be made.
The commissioners were underground
for two hours and a half on their sec
ond visit to the mines. The commits
sioners walked several miles through
the gangways, and owing to the ex-
cecdingly low roof, they had to do
their tramping almost continually in
STOPPING position. After the arbitra-
tors had been in the workings an hour
Judge Gray decided that his back
ached enough and he came to the sur
face, accompanied by Bishop Spalding.
Altogether the commissioners in
spected three chambers where miners
were at work at the face of the breasts
blasting coal The first breast visited
was 1000 feet from the foot of the
shaft
After luncheon at their hotel the
commissioners took ride around the
region in special trolley ear. They
visited Taylor, Dunmore and Throop,
three small mining towns outside of
Scranton. This was done for the pur-
pose of viewing the homes and sur
roundings of the mine workers.
Bishop Spalding preached in the
Cathedral on Sunday in place of Bishop
Hogan, whose jurisdiction extends all
over the anthracite field, excepting the
Schuylliill region.

Heavy Transcontlnenta1 Travel.

Chicago, Nov. 4-The travel to the
Pacific coast, principally to California,
this fall, has been exceptionally heavy,
owing, in part, to the cheap rates
which have been in effect during the
past two months. On the last two days
ffty-four tourist sleeping cars. with
every berth taken, left Chicago via the
connections of the Southern Pacific
There were at least $50 applications
for space in the tourist cars, and many
of the passengers had to go in the or
binary coaches or reclining chair cars,
as the Pullman company was unable
to furnish tourist sleepers.

A Wonderful Pill.

Freedom, Mo, Nov. 3d.-A splendid
remedy has recently been introduced
in this neighborhood. 1t is called
Dodd's Kidney Pills and it has cured
Rheumatism right and left. On every
hand may be heard stories of the re-
markable recoveries and from what
has been stated already there seems
to be no case of rheumatism that
Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure.
One of those who has already tested
the virtue of Dodd's Kidney Pills is
Katie Anderson of this place, who
says:
Il can't say enough for Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. They have helped me so
much. l suffered very severely with
rheumatism. Five boxes cured me
completely. They are certainly the
most wonderful medicine 1 have ever
used"
Usage county abounds in just such
cases and if the good work keeps on
there will soon be no rheumatism left
in this part of the state.

the fire boxes and closes the f1ues with

justify the assertion that oil will be

with the additional repair work that
the financial consideration is sufficient

which will stretch to a certain extent

great drawback about ordinary papers
is that they will not give a particle,

COAL MAGNATES vow THEY WILL
NEVER MAKE CoNcES-
SIoNS TO MINERS.
THE STRIKERS MUST RETURN
After Conference in New York, They
Announce That This is the Only
Way the Strike Can be
Settled.

New York, September IA CON
ference of the leading anthracite coal
interests was held this afternoon at
the Philadelphia and Reading com
pany's offices. Those present includ-
ed President Baer. OF the Reading
road; President Truesdale, of the De
laware. Lackawanna and Western;
President Underwood, of the Erie:
President Fowler Of the New York,
Ontario and Western President Wal
ters of the Lehigh Valley; President
Olyphant, OF the Delaware and Hud-
son; Manager Besler, of the Central
Railroad of New Jersey; Irving
Stearns, of Coke Brothers & Co., and
John Markle, of G. B. Marlde & Co.
The two last named represented the
independent operating interests in the
hard coal industry
The precise subject of the confer
ence could not be learned, but it was
stated in advance of the meeting tnat
no concessions would be granted, and
that recent events of semi ipolitical
character would not be considered.
Following a meeting witt J. P, Nor
gan, John Markle made this state
ment;
Il don't think it necessary to re-
peat that all talk of concessions on the
part Of the operators is foolish, and
certainly without. foundation. Our
position now is the same as when
Mitchell made mis- original proposi-
tions, and no different than when the
strike began.
I'VE said tnen that we would make
no concessions and we repeat it now
There is no reason why this should
not be understood. Ihe operators
have shown that they mean it, and |
repeat it 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 ear to Mitchelrs speci-
Gus promises will only entail furtner
loss and suffering to them. Condi-
tions are improving daily, more men
are returning to work and more coal
is being mined.
so far as recent attempts at set
tlement are concerned, it is only nee
essary to add that every effort from
Senator Hanna's down has been fu-
tile. We have defined our position
and will maintain it."
