THE LOCAL UNIONS ARE VOTING
TODAY ON THE WAGE DISPUTE
1t Involves Nearly 1000 Miners in the Soft
Coal Regions...tf1e Returns are Being
AnxiousIy Awaited

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller)
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March Is
Whether the great strike threatened
in the soft coal fields is to become a
reality is being decided today by the
referendum vote being taken by the
miners local unions throughout the
states involved in the dispute. The
vote of the locals will be counted
Thursday at the national headquarters
here, where the returns are now anx-
iously awaited. At the final confer
ence last week the operators offered
the miners S per cent reduction as
compromise and it Is this proposition
that is being voted on. II 1T is re-
jected a general strike will be precipi-
tated April l, when the present scale
agreement expires. President Mitchell
Lewiston evening teller. [volume] (Lewiston, Idaho) 1903-1911, 1904-03-15

has strongly urged the miners to accept
the compromise in order to avoid
strike that would mean incalculable
loss to the unions. Views expressed by
the national officers today indicate that
hope exists among them that the min
ers will accept the compromise. The
sentiment in the east Is believed to be
distinctly favorable, but doubt is ex-
pressed as to what action will be taken
by the western miners. The miners
involved number nearly 200, 900 and in
clude all those of Indiana, Illinois.
Ohio, western Pennsylvania, MARYLAND.
Michigan, western Kentucky, central
Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

appointed by the honorable mayor to
act in conjunction with the council
committee relative to the letting OF the
contract for the Normal Hill sewer
system and the proper construction Of
the same since said contract was let,
have the honor to submit the following
report relative thereto:
AFTER examining numerous wit
nesses and taking a large amount Of
testimony we find as follows:
.'First-We find that the contract
was let to Messrs. Naylor & Norlin for
337,230: that being the lowest bid Of
fered.
'Second--We find that the speeifica-
tions which are attached to the above
contract are signed by the contractors,
and the contract jointly by the con-
tractors and the mayor of the city of
Lewiston: that the work was virtually
accepted from time to time under the
specifications attached to the contract
by allowing the work to proceed under
the direction of the city engineer and
inspectors who were given their posi-
tion to look after the city's interest by
the votes of the council,
"As to the specifications being fraud
ulent. we ind that what was claimed to
be the original was never spread on
the minutes of the meeting. wherein
they were approved by the council, and
that the original specifications written
in long hand by Mr.. Briggs. does not
conform with the other copies that
were typewrttten. which is claimed to
have been sent to the different prospec-
tive bidders.
I'VE also find that the specifications

<1i1nerent prospective bidders does not
correspond with the specifications at

that the specifications attached to the

are the ones that legally bind the city

would respectfully report as follows;
THAT we have conducted such an
Investigation far as is possible, since
our appointment, and from the testi-
mony heard we find as follows:
@First-That the original specifca-
tions as bid on. and on which the con-
tract was awarded. were fraudulently
changed with the knowledge of the
contractors
-.Second-That through the careless
ness and negligence Of the old city
council, as represented by their mayor
and clerk, the fraudulent specifications
were allowed to be attached to the con-
tract, instead Of the original specifi-
cations on which the bid was let. with
''Third-That the fraudulent set OF
specifications so attached to the con-
tract were such as to financially bene-
mt the contractors very materially.
That the system of inspection was
careless and negligent on the part Of
the city engineer and sewer inspectors,
and by reason thereof the said system
has been constructed in such manner
rs to be imperfect
"Fourth-That there has been a vio-
sation of many provisions of the speci-
fEAtions on ire part of the contractors.

we find to be the general talk regard
ing this matter.
1T appears on the face of all the
evidence that each individual officer
was SO busy posing in his position of
trust that he neglected to act on mat
tiers that We're of vital Importance to
the city.
I'VE admit that this, is an unfortu-
nate condition to have existed in the
public interest, but we advise the city
their mistakes.
I'VE find that where any fills were
necessary to bring the. grade up to the
proper height for laying said sewer
pipe. that the street commissioner was
instructed by the council to have the
same done. This was complied with by
said commissioner. Under the exist
ing conditions, this action was proper
and we approve the same. But we re-
fer you to the following clause in the
contract and specifications where it
states that all work necessary for the
completion of the sewer must be done
by the contractors We ask you to
take this under consideration.
I'VE find that although the work as
performed by the contractors may have
some defects. the extent of which can
not be ascertained at this time unless
the sewer is put to use and thoroughly
tested. we would recommend that your
honorable body, before making Anal
settlement with the contractors, to
withhold $1,000 or. a good and sufncient
bond, approved by the mayor and
councii for period Of six months that
the property owners paying for the
sewer 'zAay. know that they have
good systen and are getting what they
are to pat ilDr
IT this - left to the coirts, 1t will
necess.tate thehsmploying Sc a COM
petent attorney 70 handle this case at
q cost to the city of from $500 to $500;
and for the further reason that 1t will
take from six months to two years be-
fore the. latter Is finally adjusted by
the supreme court, we deem It suicidal
to attempt anything Of this kind.
1--WE would also call your attention
to the fact that the residents on Nor
NAL Hill who will be affected fnan-
ciaily by not being allowed to imme-
;diately connect with the sewer: and
this includes practically all OF the res
lidents Of the hill-are clamoring for
Immediate action which will relieve the
situation SO that they can connect with
said sewer and thus avoid making new
cess pools, which at best are only tenn
porary affairs and would cost as much
as it would to connect with the sewer
should not be tolerated under the pres
ent conditions and we certainly are
not warranted in compelling them to &C
to extra expense of making cess pools
at this time.

Saved by a Warning
ALARMED BY NUMBNEss, PAIN
AND LOSS OF VITALITY.
Mrs. Pember Escapes Shock and is
Cured Of rheumatism and De.
billty by Or. Williams
Pink Pills.

A few years ago the happiness of
Mrs. Lucretla A. Pember of No 5S
Lebanon avenue, Willimantio, Conn
was disturbed by constant fear of a
paralytic shock. An annoying numb
ness had appeared from time to time
in her left arm and this, in connec-
tion with generally debilitated
state, she regarded as a signal of
danger. 1t caused her great anxiety
and finally led her to adopt course
by which she was relieved not only
from the dread of a shock but also
from other serious interferences with
her health. She gives the following
detailed account of her experience:
For several years l was subject to
numbness in my left arm. 1t did
not stay there all the time, but would
go and come again. Sometimes there
would be sharp pain. Every time 1t
came 1t suggested paralytic stroke
ana alarmed me greatly,
This was not all, for had rheu-
matism in my left knee which was
swollen and very painful, and caused
me to be laid up in bed for a long
time. was very thin too and color
less and lacked vitality.
The doctors gave me but little re-
lief, and that little lasted only for a
short time. So, when relative told
me about DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People was quite ready
to give them good trial.
"They certainly did wonders for
me. They drove away the numbness
from my arm and delivered me from
the fear of a shock that | am sure
would have had if it had not been
for them. They also cured my rheu-
matism and debility. | still take
them in small doses as a general ton
ic and cannot recommend them too
strongly"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have eff
fected many remarkable cures in
cases of partial paralysis. and even
such as are suddenly stricken should
not despair Those who, like Mrs.
Pember, recognize the approach of
the disease may use them with the
utmost hopefulness. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills make new blood and sound

druggists throughout the world.
