MISLEADING STATEMENT As TO

Union Is Not an Issue-Miners say
That II L..
Scranton, Pa, Dec. 1.-THE anthra-
cite coal operators opened their side
of the controversy to-day before the
strike commission and, attorneys who
are representing the non-union men
who have been admitted to the anthra-
cite scheme, began calling witnesses.
The session to-day was probably the
liveliest yet held. This morning the
miners lawyers challenged the fairness
of certain wage statements handed to
the commission by the Pennsylvania
Coal company; this afternoon Lawyer
DarroW had spirited discussion with
Chairman Gray as to whether the min
ers had a right to know who Is paying
the lawyers representing the non-union
men before the commission. Mr. Dar-
row asserted they were employed by the
coal operators. Preceding this. Simon
P. Wolverton, counsel for the Reading
company, who delivered the opening
address on behalf Of all the large coal
companies made the point that the rec
ognition of the union is not an issue be-
fore the commission, which brought out
a protest from Mr.. Darrow. The latter
claimed that if it were not then the op-
orators should be forbidden from pre-
senting testimony that tended to show
the union was responsible for all the
alleged violence committed during the
strike.
The alleged unfairness Of the wage
statements came to the notice of the
commission as a result of It's inquiry in
to the child labor question in this vicin-
ity. Several little girls testified Mon
day that they worked all night in a silk
mill in order to help their fathers along,
who were employed in the mines and
received poor pay. Yesterday Everett
Warren, who represents the Erie COM
pany, which controls the Pennsylvania
Coal company, In whose mines some of
these fathers worked, handed to the
commission a memorandum showing
that one father last year received 81, 400
for himself and laborer. and that the
other father received $1,000 for himself
and laborer.
At the opening Of the session to-day
the miners placed the two parents on
the stand and they testified that their
earnings were divided among from four
to six men. This testimony surprised

ARCHRIsHOP OF CHICAGO.
Report That bishop Qulgley Has Been
Appointed.

Rome, Dec. lit is reported that
Bishop James Z. Quigiey of Buffalo
has been appointed archbishop of Chi
cago, in succession to the late Arch
bishop Feehan.
The Congregation of the Propaganda
intends, in accordance with the pope's
settled policy, to appoint coadjutor-
archbishop of St. Louis with the right
of succession, instead of an assistant,
as suggested by the archbishop. The
pontiff desires this rule to be adhered
to in all cases except in the most i'm
portant dioceses, where archbishops
must be elected, as he does not ap-
prove of the appointment of auxiliaries
who on the death of their superiors are
left without a position.

BLIND "CORN POOLu SETBACK
Sharp and Decisive Struggle In Chicago
Yesterday.

Chicago, Dec. 17.-Bulls and bears Of
the Chicago board Of trade had a sharp
and decisive struggle over December
corn to-day. W. w. McCleary & Co.
failed to respond to margin calls and
the so-called blind pool" headed by
Thomas A. Cleage of st. Louis, suffered
a severe setback. December corn re-
ceded almost six cents during the day
and showed break of about eleven
cents since earlier in the month.
Mr.. McCleary declared that he would
pay dollar for dollar and that he prob
ably will be ready for business to-mor-
row. He said that his order to have all
his trades closed was forced because of
excessive calls upon him for margins.
Mr.. McCleary is a brother-in-law of
Mr.. Cleage. Mr.. Cleage's pool has
about 5000 members. He has been op-
Grating in ST. Louis, Kansas City and
Chicago and, at one time is said to
have had as much as 100000 bushels
of corn In these three markets and 4
100000 bushels in Chicago.

AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE.

Has it ever been your unhappy lot
to be told by your physician that you
must go to a hospital and submit TO an
operation? If so, you remember with
what dread and shrinking you awaited
the day when you must endure the
knife. The present day surgeon APP
pears TO be possessed by a mania for
operating, especially in cases of hem
Orrhoids or piles, and while the
greater number of the profession do
not recommend this last resort un-
less they honestly believe it necessary,
the fact remains that much needless
operating is done, and the patient put
to much expense and suffering for
what? To obtain a possible temporary
relief; these words are used adyfsedly
because in nine cases out of ten the
affliction returns and the patient is Just
where he started from. Oftentimes he
could be cured much more simply and
easily by the use of such a remedy as
the Pyramid Pile Cure: this has come
to be recognized as the best remedy
on the market for the painful disease
named. and the druggists now sell more
of it than all other pile remedies COM
bined. The writer personally knows
people who were afflicted with the worst
form of bleeding and protruding piles
and who were permanently cured by
the use of Pyramid Pile Cure. In every
one OF these cases the attending pnySl-
clan had assured the sufferer that only
by an operation could he rid himself
of the disease; so much for the infalli-
bility of the doctors. This remedy,
which is sold by all druggists at the
low price of so cents, is in suppository
form, is applied directly to the parts
affected. and performs its work quietly
and painlessly. The Pyramid Drug
