Labor Leader Says They Could Relieve
Situation if They Would,

Springfield, ILL.,, Jan. Ia. = Adam
Menche of Chicago, president of the
State Federation Of Labor, who was in
the city last night was shown a dis
patch stating that the grand jury
which is Investigating the alleged coal
combine i'm Chicago Will ask the miners
in this state to work ten hours per day
in order to relieve the situation which
exists owing to the scarcity of coal.
MIR. Menche stated very einphatical-
ly that the miners would never consent
to this. He declared that the operators
and railroads We're solely to blame for
the existing coal famine, and that some
mines in the state are idle because OF
the scarcity of coal ears. MIR. Menche
declared that there were today thirty
six miles of loaded coal cars in Chicago
alone, and that they have been there
for some time ANA that right in
Springfield the Chicago and Alton road
had four strings of coal cars three
blocks each in length. He declared that
the people are being msled by false
statements by the operators and rail-
road officials, and that the miners
would not work ten hours per day,
even If offered overtime.

FIRST STAGES or CATARRH
A Serious Mistake Which Thou
sands Are Making.

The first stage of catarrh is what is
commonly known as catching cold 1t
may be in the head, nose, throat or lungs.
Its beginning is sometimes SO severe ds TO
cause a chill and considerable fever, or it
may be so slight MS TO not hinder n per-
son from his usual business. In perhaps
a majority of cases little or no attention
is paid to the first stage Of catarrh. and
hence it is that nearly onc,ha!f of the peo-
pie have chronic catarrh in some form.
To neglect Il cold is to invite chronic
catarrh. Az soon ms any one discovers

You are 40 doubt aware that a

charged for fuel, and ii is sibjecting the
general public TO great Inconvenience

as lar as possible the suffering row be-
Ing endured, is the duty of everyone con-

coal. The gravity OF the situation is such
as 10 require that every mine worker shall
exert himself and use every means at his
command TO this end
. Upon reading this communication in the
columns of the daily papers local unions
should hold meetings and devise means
whereby the daily output of the mines
may be Increased. These efforts should
be continued until the weather noderatcs
and the great necessity for fuel shall have
passed.
This communication Is signed by
President Mitchell and the district

he wants to swing his arm
With keen and shiny stabber to the

But the world keeps on ANNOYING, spite of

For the sultan has the habit of conyersine

There are rebels all about I'm, and they've

Till he hasn't time nor chance nor thought
nor breath enough to swear;
And he's telling how he'll battle TIL he
