cess Is Taken.

Indianapolis, Ind, March o. = The
joint scale committees of the coal op-
orators and miners of the central COM

sides are apparently no nearer set
Element.
In the committee of the central com.
petitive district the Illinois shot-frers'
law again came up for discussion.
A motion by President Mitchell that
the matter be considered district af-
fair to be settled by Illinois represen-
tatives alone was defeated by the op.
orators, who insisted that it was an
interstate matter as it affected the en-
tire competitive field This vote left
the breach as wide as ever.
Opposed to Subcommittee.
President Mitchell then moved that
a sub-scale committee composed of
two operators and two miners be ap.
pointed to which the differences ex-
listing should be referred. He an
nounced that he had proposition to
offer on behalf Of the mine workers to
such committee. 1t is understood
the proposition was the restoration OF
the scale Of two years ago, but it was
not stated on the floor The8perators
with the exception of F. L. Robbins OF
Pittsburg, who cast the vote of the
western Pennsylvania operators, op
psed the appointment of the subcom
mittee and the motion was lost, the
operators of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio
voting against it. President Mitchell
then asked for recess until 2 p. m.

A DIFFERENCE
IN LUNGS

In the Edinburgh Uni
versity three human lungs lie
side by side. One is Of an
Eskimo and is snow white.
In life, this would be ruddy
with rich blood. Another is
that Of a coal-miner and is
black. The other is of a town
dweller and is a dirty slate
gray, as are the lungs Of most
city residents. That's why
consumption thrives in cities.
One reason why SCOTS
Emulsion does SO much to
keep down consumption is
because. it helps to keep the
lungs clean and supplies
them with rich, red blood. It
makes the lungs germ-re-
'sisting. If the body is run
down and health is at a low
ebb SCOTS Emulsion will
build it up quickly and per-
'nently.

cred and the matter was adjusted to
the entire satisfaction of the organiza-
ton.
Sioux City reports work in general
quiet. with all indications in favor of

ture. The outlook for the spring and
summer is very good. The prospect
for future trade union activity is first
class. The Sioux City Industrial or
ganization, branch of the Post or
ganizaticn, is again becoming very ac-
tive and may be the cause of giving
q set back to industrial activities of
the city.

ame IS have conceded an increase Of
wages from 31h to S. cents per hour
to the painters of that city.

ton Of a Woman's Union Label
league is under way.
