DEMANDS REFUSED.
Steel Men and Miners at Sydney and
Cape Breton Threaten Strike.

Sidney, N. S., Nov 29.-The manage
ment of the Dominion Iron and Steel
Co. have refused to agree to the terms
of the ultimatum issued by the Provin-
cial Workman's Association. This de-
cision has been made known to the men
by j. Fl. Plummer, the manager of the
works. The men accepted the general
cut in wages, but asked for a reduc-
ton of only 5 per cent. in the pay of
common laborers employed at the plain
and it was this proposal that the COM
pany refused to accept.
The Provincial Workmans Associa-
ton has given Mr.. Plummer until Tues
day to accept their terms and if he re-
fuses to agree to them, it is likely that
the 1900 members of the association en-
ployed at the works will be called out
on a strike. The 1000 men working in
the coal mines in Cape Breton are men,
bers of the Provincial Workman's AS
ISOLATION and if the steel men strike
they will in all probability go out in
sympathy with them.
The situation looks worse now than
ever, and the only thing that can avert
the biggest strike in the history of Cape
Breton, is the acceptance by the COM
pany of the mems terms.

Trust Is Cause of Ii.

New York Nov. 29-"The fact that the
credit of the shipbuilding industry has
been completely destroyed by recent reve-
lations regarding the promotion of the

given as one of the principal reasons for
the closing of the Townsend Downev
shipyards at Shooters island in a state
ment issued, Saturday, by Wallace Down
ey,. president of the Townsend owney
ShlpDulldinS Co. at the offices of the
company here. The statement follows,
THE temporary embarrassment of the

rectly the result of losses and delay in

These difficulties and the fact that the

INSIST ON CUT.
New Bedford Mills Say They Cannot
Stand the Old Wages.

New Bedford, Nov. 29-After a three
hours conference held here, Saturday,
between representatives of the Cotton
Manufacturers Association and delegates
from the Textile Council, the manufact-
urers declared that they could not recon
slider their action in declaring a 10 per
cent. reduction in wages. beginning Mon
day. Dec. I. The meeting was held in
the Manufacturers Association hall and
was characterized after the conference as
"a pleasant meeting"
At a meeting of the Textile Council.
held Immediately after the conference IL
was voted to have the delegates of tit.
operatives report the result of the confer
ence to their respectiv unions, which will
hold special meetings to act On this re-
port. The council instructed the dele
gates to tell their unions that the manu-
facturers refused to grant any conces,
sions.
The refusal of the manufacturers to
reconsider the action in reducing wages
has caused great disappointment among
the operatives, and throughout the man
ufacturine district expressions of regret
were heard on every side.
1t is believed that the operatives will
submit to the cutdown. and that there
any labor difficulties arise it is probable
that only the weavers will be affected. as
they have been dissatisfied for some time
past with the treatment accorded them
ny tIIt IIidIlldcluIPTS.
The news from the Blackstone valley
that the reduction to go into effect, Mon.
day, will amount to more than 10 per
cent, is considered of much significance
but it is not believed the cut here, Dec.
Z. will exceed 10 per cent. Should the re-
duction here be more than 20 per cent, it
is thought difficulties may develop at
some of the mills.
The companies represented at Satur-
! days conference include the Pierce Dart
mouth. irinnell. Bristol, Potomslfa and
Wamsutta cloth mills and the City yarn
i mills. The latter corporation posted no.

NEW PRICE LIST
will Go Into Effect, Today, in
Cotton Mills.
"A General Cut of 10 Per Cent, Affect
ing Many Thousands.
Operatives Do Not Like 1t, but Will
Not Strike.

Pawtucket, r. l., Nov. 29.-The new
wage schedule adopted by the cotton
mill operators throughout the Black
stone valley, which reduces the wages
of employees 10 per cent, restoring the
price list of two years ago, is to take
effect, tomorrow. Nine thousand oper-
atives will be affected. No trouble be-
tween the owners and employees is an
ticipated. The operatives are disatis-
fled over the reduction but realize that
many of the manufacturers would not
hesitate to close their plants in the
event of a strike. The men do not
desire to bring about the possibility of
a period of idleness at the approach of
the winter season and will bide their
time to secure return to the recent
schedule when the market conditions
are more favorable to the manufacture
ers.

MUNYON'S
PAW PAW
Cured a Bright Young Man
of the
HABIT
Drunkenness, Nervousness and Sleep
lessness Caused by
DYSPEPSIA
Munyon's Paw Paw Positively Cures All
Stomach Ailments.

A mother writing to Prof. Munyon
from Lowell, Mass, says: My son,
through bad associations, became ad-
dicted to strong drink and we had al
most despaired of saving him from
drunkard's grave. His stomach and
nerves had become totally wrecked
Two weeks ago my sister, who lives in
Boston, sent me a bottle of Paw-Paw
for him, and, strange to say, it not
only cured his stomach trouble, but
has taken away all desire for alcoholic
drinks. He has gained IL pounds in
flesh and now eats well and sleeps
well. May God bless you for giving
the world this wonderful medicine"
Surely this mother has reason to
feel grateful and it is my opinion, pre-
viously expressed, that the clergymen
in this country could do no greater
service to the cause of temperance than
to advocate the general use of my Paw
Paw, for by it's use drunkenness would
be lessened and the morals and health
of the community greatly improved.
A wife whose husband is addicted to
drinking can do nothing better for her
self or family than to get a bottle of
this Paw-Paw, and whenever her hus-
band feels the need of tonic give him
Il tablespoonful of Paw-Paw. She
will find that he will soon lose all
cravings for strong drinks-that his
appetite will soon become natural, that
his nervousness and longing for ex-
citements will disappear and he will
be perfectly satisfied, without alcoholic
stimulants and harmful beverages.
Almost every human being some
time requires a stimulant, NOT AN
STIMULANT, not a
;stimulant that will buoy up for a mo-
ment and then cast down to lower
depths of depression, but a stimulant
that will give an abiding strength and
lasting force.
My Paw-Paw aids the stomach to
digest hearty foods and to make good,
rich blood, which again in turn
strengthens the nerves, vitaIizing all
the tissues, and soon produces mus
cles, tissues and bone.

ALL pERIsHE0
Three Brothers Drowned at
Blackstone, Mass, Sunday.
Broke Through the Ice While Crossing
River After Firewood.
Handsled, Cap and Mittens Near Hole
Tell the Story.

Blackstone, Mass, Nov. 29.-The
three sons of Mrs. Nellie J. Read, John,
II, William, IA, and George, years of
age, were drowned in the Blackstone
river, today. They broke through a
thin ice above the channel while at
tempting to cross the stream on their
way to the woods to procure firewood.
Searchers found cap and mitten with
a handsled taken by the boys but, to-
night, the bodies had not been recov-
cred.
The boys were the only children of
Mrs. Read, who lives with her uncle,
John Nickerson, near the river. At
2 O'Clock, this afternoon, the boys left
the house, taking with them hand
sled. When at o'clock they had not
returned the mother became alarmed
and sought the assistance of a neigh
gor, Joseph Ginty, who Went in search
Of the boys.
He found a track leading from the
house to the middle of the river where
there was a hole in the ice through
which the boys had evidently been
drowned. Near the ragged edge of the
broken ice was found the hand sled
and a cap and mitteps belonging to one
of the boys. The river is only about
80 feet wide at the point where the boys
attempted to cross, but the current in
the center of the stream is very swift
Selectman Joseph McCooey was
notified and a party organized to
search for the bodies. The searchers
had a hard task before them and began
by breaking the ice in the place where
the lads had broken through. 1t was
their purpose to continue if necessary
as far as the dam, a quarter of mile
down the stream. 1t is thought that the
bodies may have been carried by the
swift current as far as the dam over
which the water is not flowing.
Mrs. Read was nearly crazed when
she learned of the death of her children
| and, tonight, was in serious condi-
ton from the shock, necessitating med
zeal attention. Her only near relative
is Mrs. Julia J. Bliss of Palmer her
mother.
