MINERS DEMANDS UN.JUSTIFTED.
The Rev. Il. A. Roberts Discusses the AM
thracite situation.

There was a feeling among the coal deal RS
Yesterday that they will be swamped with
orders this week for domestic anthracite.
1t was said last night that a meeting Of the
Coal Merchants Association will be held
this week to go into the situation carefully.
The members admit that the coal carrying
companies have not advanced the price OF
domestic anthracite coal but they fear
that they viii husband the reserve which
they have on hand 80 closely that there
will be too little coal for the demand and
then speculators who have been buying up
coal during the last month will be the main
source Of supply.
The OPERATORS committee Of seven gave
ont n statement last evening quoting a
letter from the Rev. Peter Roberts Of
Mahanoo City, Pa, Mr.. Roberts has written
Industry" and Anthracite Coal Commu-
mites" He says;
do not believe that a majority OF the
mine workers want a strike. 1t is my opinion .
too. that a mere majority should not decide
so serious a question II the individual
opinions Of the mine workers were 10 settle
the question at this time there would not be
a strike. While they are DESTROYS OF higher
wa Ces and one hour per day less OF work
desires WTltn are Nultf u NhVS piVi'i
TO work under the present agreement rather
than go on strike.
The demands of the miners are absurd
I am surprised that the operators have not
made more capital out of that ridiculous
list Of demand for uniform wages for l4e
different classes OF labor. | have asked
myself often what they mean by presenting
such an absurd lot of details. Ii shows
plainly, as Mitchell admitted before the
arbitration commission. that he does not
know the anthracite region. II also shows
hat he cannot manage the anthracite men
| who are, indeed. a difficult lot TO control.
The last three Years., he says, have been
/ the most prosperous in the history of the
anthracite coal fields. He concludes:
This prosperity is easily accounted for.
/ Since the coming Of Mitchell to the anthra-
cite camp he has increased wages in the
Schuylkill field between 81 and ~ per cent.
and in other fields a fraction over 25 per cent.
and he has reduced the hours Of labor from
ten to nine hours. This shows that Mitchell
has done well by the men. The men are
prosperous and happy now and there is no
excuse for a strike.

MITCHELL STARTS EAST.
II There's an Anthracite strike Tie VIII
COnduct II In Person.

W. ~
INpIANApoLIs, April President John
Mitchell Of the United Mine Workers left
here for New York at 625 o'clock this eve
ming, and after the conference with the
anthracite operators on Tuesday will go to
Pennsylvania. If a settlement IL not made
with the anthracite mine owners Mitchell
will probably stay in the East and conduct
the strike in person.
The miners about head uarters to-day
were very confident that all the bituminous
mines in the competitive districts will be
al work under the 1903 scale within a month
and that the organization will have a clear
field for its fight for an eight hour day and
recognition Of the union in the East.
All Of the Indiana mines will be closed
from now on except those south Of the Balti-
more and Ohio Southwestern Railroad.
whose owners have indicated that they
will pay the 1908 scale. The operators who
made the fight against wage increase In
the recent convention say that not ! per
cent. of the Indiana mines will resume
work under the new scale. They are e1-
pecting some word from President Roose-
welt regarding arbitration, but as yet
nothing has been received.
President John Nugent of District II,
West Virginia, was in indianapolis yester-
day afternoon for a few hou and was ap-
parently much encouraged over the out look
in his State. He said that practically all Or
the operators of organized mines in Dis
trict No. II have signifed TO him their will
iugness to sign the contract granting the
increase of 5.5 per cent. in wages.

4 LOVER SHOOTS HIMSELF.
His Brother Was Not Prompt TO Lend Him
SSO TO Buy n Wedding Ring.

While on a visit to the home Of his mother
at $50 Flushing avenueJ Williamsburg,
last evening Nathan Apteil, a furrier, ~
years old, who lived with a married sister
at 81 East Seventh street, Manhattan, COM
mitted suicide by shooting himself in the
right temple with a .32 caiibre revolver.
Apteil's death followed q request he made to
his brother Joseph, who, with his wife, lived
with the mother, for $50 with which to buy
an engagement ring for his f%ancee. Apteil
never told his family who his sweetheart
was. He would only say that she was a
wealthy young woman living in Manhattan
and that she had several thousand dollars
in bank In her own right.
He wrote to his mother on Saturday that
he was going to visit her. In anticipation
of his coming she prepared a dinner. Apteil
reached the house early yesterday after
noon and was apparently in a happy frame
of mind. He called his brother aside and
asked him for the loan Of $50, telling him
for what purpose he required the money:
The brother Informed him that he would
think the matter over and probably give
him the money to-day. Apteil did not say
another word, but going into a front room
he wrote a letter, presumably to his fiancee.
and went out and mailed it. On his return
he called his niece into the front room and
dictated the following letter to her:
DEAR BROTHER JOE: Please go down to
o. West Houston street, first floor. my en-
ployer. n. Silvermann, and get $40 coming
to me for a weeks pay tomorrow afternoon
at s o'clock. Your brother, NATHAN.
Apteil folded the note and left it lying on
the liable. His mother called him to dinner,
and while all the members Of he family
were at the table Apteil stepped before a
mirror in a room adjoining the dining room
and while the family were watching him
he drew from his pocket the revolver and
backward dead.
His mother fell in a faint over his body

RAILROADS CONTROL COAL cos.
A Specific Instance to He Brought Out in
the Senate This Week.

n Specluc instance 10 ne brought Uut IN
the Senat This Week.
WASHINGTON, April IA specific instance
of a railroad controlling a coal company
may be brought out in the Senate some
time this week by Senator Tillman Of South
Carolina, and the evidence in the case, it
is understood, will be submitted to the
Interstate Commerce Commission for use
by that body in connection with it's inquiry
under the Tllman-Gillespie resolution,
which directed the commission to ascertain
the relation Of the carriers to the coal
and oil industries.
A copy of the transcript Of the pr oceed-
ings of the recent Indianapolis conference
has been sent for by independent coal
operators, who declare that it was brought
out at the meeting that the Rock Island
system is interested in the Boring Coal
Company. of which r. r. Hammond is
president. Mr.. Hammond was formerly
Illinois Railway Company. The sugges-
ton was made in the Indianapolis con-
ference that the books of the GOA COM
panies should be examined to determine
the earnings Of the big operators.
John Mitchell, president OF the United
books Of the Rock Island and other roads
should also be scrutinized. He then made
the statement that the Rock Island owned
both stock and bonds in the Boring COM
pany. Mr.. Hammond was called Upon and
be confirmed the charge made by Mr..
had purchased $500 600 worth of the
bonds of the coal company and that as a
bonus a large block Of the common stock
Of the concern had been transferred to it.
NIndependent operators who are interested
in disclosing the alleged intimate relation
ship between certain railroads and the big
coal companies intend to AVE these facts
brought before the Senate, and the under
standing is that they will be placed in the
hands Of Senator Tillman for that purpose.

A CURE FOR DEBILITY
Or. Williams Pink Pills A Reliable Remedy for the Weak, Ailing
 and BloodIess.

When the body is weak and the blood thin it is sometimes difficult to find the cause unless 2 wasting illness has pre- ceded, or the sufferer happens to be q girl on the verge of womanhood.
 Obscure influences, something un- healthful in one's surroundings or work, may lead 10 a slow impoyerishment of the blood and an enfeeblement of the whole body. When serious stage has been reached there seems to be nothing that will account for it.
 MT. c. k. Legg. of Tipton, W. Va, has found a successful method of treat- ing weakness and bloodlessness. He says:
 'I used Dr. Williams Pink Pills for weakness caused by lingering malarial fever that began ill the spring of 1896. The worst effects of this were iHdiges- ton and bad state of my blood. Twas anamic, as the doctors say. People generally would say that l didn't have blood enough, or that l didn't have the right kind of blood mine was too thin. My kidneys and liver were out of order. 1 was badly annoyed by sour riSings from my stomach. There was a good deal of pain, too, i'll my back and under my right shoulder blade.'
 "How long did these troubles last? ?h
 For ever two years. For four months of that time l was under the care of physician, but his medicine did me no good Meanwhile ] learned of the cures that hsa been wrought by Dr. Williams Pink Pills.
 "You owe your cure to these pills ?"
 1 certainly do, and I also know that they are helping others 10 whom 1 have recommended them. They have real merit and know of nothing that would take their place. {"

 In those good old fashioned days it was common for mothers to make their own home medicines from roots and herbs, natures own remedies calling in physician only in specially urgent cases. By tradition and eX- perience many of them gained a won derful knowledge of the curative prop critics of the various roots and herbs.
 Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest in the study of roots and herbs, their characteristics and power over disease. She maintained that just as nature so bountifully provides in the harvest fields and orchards vegetable foods of all kinds; so, if we but take the pains to find them, in the roots and herbs of the field there are remedies eX- pressly designed to cure the various ills and weaknesses of the body, and it was her pleasure to search these out. and prepare simple and effective medi- cines for her own family and friends.
