press agent, "and suppose the news
papers get tired of publishing it year
after year, but the public forget. You
might make it short this year by saying
that last year more Christmas presents
were delivered after Christmas than
before that date There was really a
rush Of package delivery for three days
after Christmas. That means that
everybody should have been three days
earlier in shipping. The Christmas
express business is unlike most other
business congestions, in that it strikes

section is exempt; therefore the com

seasons of prosperity the business is SO
good that the express companies
haven't the facilities for handling it.

PROTECTS RAILRoADERs.
House Passes the Personal Liability
Bill,

Washington. = Chief among the
measures passed by the House Mon
day was the so-called personal liabil-
ity BILL" which has been favored by
the army of railway employees through
out the country and which had prac-
tically unanimous report from the
committee. Members OF the House
showed great interest in the measure
and had a Lewiston been called for the
bill would have had an almost unani-
nous vote.
Mr.. Mann said that 931 railroad en-
ployes were killed and 1880 wounded
last year. The railway employees were
in favor of the bill, he said, and the
best way to protect the public is to
make the railroads pay for the sleepy
engineer who has worked twenty
hours and wherefrom accidents arise.
The bill makes both parties respon-
sible for their own negligence. 1t also
renders void any contract intended to
restrict the liabilities of the employer
for the negligence of employees.

OHIO RAILROAD BILL.
To Create Commission and Regulate
Freight Rates.

Columbus.-The Senate Thursday
afternoon by unanimous vote passed
the House bill creating a state rail-
road commission and providing for the
regulation of freight rates. The bill
was amended in some important par
ticulars, but the author will make no
objection and the concurrence of the
House in the amendment is expected.
The most important amendment was
the insertion of an anti-pass provision.
This prohibits any state or other pub
lie officer accepting free Transports
ton under penalty Of forfeiture of of.
fee and a fine of from $500 to $1,000.
The bill was also amended SO as to
exempt sleeping car companies from
its provisions, except in SO far as the
rates made by such companies apply
solely to travel within the state. The
time when the law shall go into effect
was also extended from thirty to sixty
days from its passage.
The bill provides for a commission
OF three members. whose salaries shall
be $1,000 a year each.

MINERS TO WORK
RESUMPTION IN sITuMINous
FIELD.
INDEPENDENTS HOLD OUT

Many Large Companies Sign the Scale
-PIttsburs District Safe From
strike-Prospects Good In Other
Sections.
Pittsburg.-There will be no strike
of the bituminous miners In the Pitts
burg district, and according to f. L.
Robbins of the Pittsburg Coal Com.
pany there will be a general resump.
ton of work Tuesday morning, follow.
ing the holiday celebration of the
eight-hour day.
Mr.. Roberts officially announced to-
night that he had signed the scale of
1903. and among the other signers
were the Monongahela River Consofi-
dated Coal Coke Company, Ellsworth
Coal Company, Crescent Coal Com
pany, Mifflin Coal Company, Peoples
Coal Company, Marine Coal Company,
Scein Coal Company, Vesta Coal Com
pany, Dilworth Coal Company and
Mansfield Coal and Coke Company.
These companies represent 30,000,000
tons, or over three-quarters of the coal
mined in the Pittsburg district.
The scale was signed for the miners
by William Dodds, Frank Feehan, E.
p. Hannoway and William Little, the
committee appointed by the district
convention.
While the operators and the miners
committee were in session to-day ir
was reported that Patrick Dolan would
raise the question of the validity OF
the scale and that as a measure of pre-
caution Mr.. Robbins would sign two
scales identical in their provisions.
Mr.. Robbins tonight said that but
one scale would be signed by any one
and that was the one signed to-day.
presented by the corsmittee, which the
operators recognized as an officially
appointed committee.
The mines of the independent oper-
ators will be shut down tomorrow in
the rittsburg district in conjunction
with those in Indiana and Ohio.
The independent operators met in
this city tonight and at 10:30 ad-
journed after passing resolution to
support the operators of the before
named states in refusing to sign the
scale. The independent operators an
nounced that their mines would not be
operated tomorrow under any circum-
stances and that under no considera-
tion would the mines be run as non
union plants.
In other districts throughout western
Pennsylvania the situation was about, as
pacific as that in the Pittsburg dis
trict. Beaver county operators tonight
signed the scale. The indications from
the Clearfield district are that the
scale will be signed tomorrow.
While the West Virginia fields were
less agitated over the movement than
any other state in the soft coal re-
gions. and the miners were apparently
disinterested, they will in this field re-
ceive the advance.
At Johnstown, where trouble was
looked for because of the holiday. the
demonstration that had been planned
by the miners was carried out without
clash. While the men there have
been granted the advance, there is
now holding out for the recognition
of the union.
The mine officials announced to-
night that their mines would be work
ing tomorrow and that all their men
would return.
