fifteen rounds of milling. Rooney was
the aggressor up to the twelfth round,

Miners RETURN 70 WORK
Rapid Progress Made Toward
Resumption Of Mining.
COAL pleoERs ARE BUSY AGAIN


There is Some Delay In Starting
Breakers-Some Fall to Get Back
Their Old Places.
Wilkesbarre Pa, Oct. 23,-Rapid
progress is being made by all the coal
companies In the anthracite region to
ward general resumption of coal
mining. The suspension Officially
ended at Z o'clock this morning, but
the quantity of coal that will be mined
this week will not be great. II Is not
believed 25 per cent of the normal
production will be reached until some
time next week. There are number
of mines that will not be in condition
for operation for several months and
there are others that viii not be ready
bfor the men under two or three weeks.
In great number of Collierics there
will have to be much timberng done
to prevent "squeeZcs." The nearly
six months idleness has In many in.
stances rusted breaker machinery,
which may cause some delay in start.
ing. Notwithstanding the many draw.
backs. however, the company officials
are confident that there will be plenty
of coal for distribution before real
cold weather sets in.
Thousands OF men Of every class
made application for work. There
were many disappointments, however
principally among the engineers and
pumpmen. They want their old posi-

failed.
1t Is the opinion of the workers that
the superintcndents will find way
to re.employ all of them. The union
men say the companies will get rid
of all incompetent men hired during
the suspension, because when the col
lieries begin working full time, the
nonunion men will not be able to fill
their places properly.
One OF the developments Of the day
was the great number of men who
have been employed throughout the
strike who left their places and re-
turned to their homes. Hundreds were
paid off by the several coal companies
in this valley and the same is true of
clerks who will return to the offices OF
the coal companies; men who were
employed in other occupations and
were thrown out of work on account
of the strike: men who were strikers
| but went back to work, and some coal
and iron policemen. It Is expected
more OF these men will quit work In
the course of the next few days. They
! are disliked by the unionists and II
| Is probable the relations between them
will not be improved once they gel
working side by side in the mines.
Celebrations in honor of the ending
of the strike were continued in many
towns of the Wyoming valley.
President Mitchell Is now engaged
in preparing the miners side of Che
case for presentation to the arbitra
tion commission. He will appear be
fore the tribunal and will have witt
him a number of assistants. Mr.
Mitchell had nothing to say regarding
the situation, but it is evident from
his manner that he is quite Statistic:
with the progress Of events.
The troops in this region have no
yet received orders to leave for home
and none is expected now until afte
the collieries are well started. There
has been no trouble in this region be

A farmer friend of ours after thirty

good deal of meanness in men he still
had no idea of the depth Of their total
depravity until he got into politics. He
says he can hardly now trust his best

The government can sometimes in
terfere with the common business of
the people to their great advantage. In
France the government assumes to reg
ulate the breeding of the horse, and
none save sires registered by the gov
ernment is used. The result is that
all the world goes to France for its
fine draft sires. The Danish govern
ment takes hand in the creamery
business of that country and by COM
pelling the scientific education of the
dairymen and butter makers and in
spection of the product monopolizes the
English market. To some extent Amer
lean enterprise is accomplishing here
what legal and governmental interfer-
ence is accomplishing there. but as yet
not In nearly SO efficient manner.

the farmer never has to sell his produce

have come across is Swede with a
large family. He has worked the same
farm for thirteen years and has al
ways made money for his landlord and
for himself, while the farm is in a

fore This landlord is wise enough to
treat his tenant literally, furnishing
him good stock and seed and such a
share of the crop and farm income that
his tenant can prosper. The dairy and
chickens kept on this place alone con-
stitute a pretty good income.
