FOR BENEFIT
OF idle Miners

LINTON, Ind, Sept. 18.-The
stringent rules long enforced by the
miners of the Indiana fields, limiting
the number of men at work at one
time, are about to be set aside here,
owing to the fact that many men have
been idle since March with families
on the verge of starvation. At a
meeting of the district board, many
protests against present conditions
were made by the unemployed. 1t
was decided to set aside the rules for
a limited time, provided the men
working In the mines consent.
The resolution, recommends that
working conditions as to the number
of places to be given, and the num-
ber of turns in a room be set aside,
for a limited time. after which pres
ent conditions shall be re-established.
1t is urged that men now idle shall
be allowed to work with other men.
when 1t is satisfactory with the men
now at work. The plan Is to be sub
mitted to the local unions of the Lin
ton fields. II approved meeting Will
be brought about with the operators
for a perfect understanding.

most gratifying. Merchants general
ly report stocks well cleaned up. This
will mean good business for the job
bers all through the fall. There has
been unusual activity in Christmas
merchandise, the weeks orders run
ming well ahead of those of year
ago.
Farmers are getting good prices for
everything they have to sell and the
merchandise traffic on the railroads is
nearly up to last year. There is an
increasing movement on coal, which
is now nearly on a nominal basis
A decidedly better tone prevails in
iron and steel trade and there are ru-
mors of a reduction of from 81 to 50
in sheet plates and structural mater
ial. The lumber trade is picking up,
with local and interior customers
buying more freely.

We have thoroughly investigated all tn

that were untrue, and we have
taken action as to such juror. We felt
say that the practice of some OF the citi-
zens OF our county in circulating false

acter and reputation of citizens, while not
indictable, should receive our censure.
We desire to report further that II has
been called to our attention and estabt
