STRIKE IN SIGHT
Southern Kansas Miners on
Verge of Walkout.
Say Powder Cans Do Not Bear
Union Labels.
TROUBLE AT MILLS.
Owners and Men at Variance
Over Contract.
Mr.. johnson Tries i'm Vain to
Mr.. johnson Tries in Vain to
Get Factions Together.

Because the cans in which they get
their blasting powder do not, in many
instances, bear the union labely, and are
purchased from the unfair powder
mills at Pittsburg and Columbus, Kan,
there is danger of serious strike
among the coal miners of Kansas.
This is the news brought from Pitts
burg by w. A. L Johnson. state labor
commissioner. Mr.. Johnson has been
at Pittsburg trying to bring about
settlement of the walkout at the Du-
Pont powder mill there. which also in
cludes the Columbus mill. and one mill
in Oklahoma. These three mills are
said to supply the bulk of the blast
ing powder used in the Kansas coal
mines.
A strike at the coal mines of the
state would be for the purpose of aid
ing the powder workers union to force
the owners of the powder mills to
terms.
The trouble at the powder mills is
over the signing of a new contract with
the union. Heretofore. each of the
Kansas mills has had its own contract
with the owners, and these contracts
have differed in some particulars, and
have expired at different times. The
Oklahoma mill had no contract what
ever. The powder workers union de-
manded that the owners of the three
mills grant a joint conference to con-
slider the drafting of a joint contract of
identical terms for the three mills,
which would have the effect of union
izing the Oklahoma mill. The contract
which the union was willing to accept
was substantially the same as the old
contract, except that it included all
three mills.
The mill owners offered to renew the
old contracts with the union on the
old terms, but refused to enter into
conference to consider the propositions
submitted by the union. The mill own
ers also refused to arbitrate the ques-
ton of whether or not such a confer
ence should be held. When this diem
ma was reached, the powder workers
union cleaned up" the mills and quit.
Thus far the owners of the mills in
Kansas have made no effort to resume
operations.
The coal miners are said to be con-
sidering the proposition of refusing to
use powder made at any of the mills
which are now having trouble with the
powder workers union. The union
miners will likely demand that all pow
der furnished them by the mine own
ers bear the union label. The miners
claim that as they have to pay Tor the
powder which they use, they should be
allowed to decide what kind of powder
they shall be furnished.
Mr.. Johnson says: Il tried to get the
powder workers and the mill owners
together, and failed absolutely. 1 talk
ed to the representatives of both sides,
and they seemed to be unwilling to
compromise 1 am afraid that there
is danger that the trouble may extend
into the coal mines, In which case there
might be a serious shortage in the out
put of the Kansas mines just as winter
is coming down."

For the benefit Of the reader it is per-
maps best to name some of the COM
plants indicated by diseased membran-
Gus conditions. Here are some of them:

Receding Gums, uterine difficulties, etc.
(1n uterine difficulties Muco- Solvent is
said to be invaluable for use in the

The range of utility of Muco-Solvent
is wider than that of perhaps any 9TH
er discovery In the history of man. A
mother, for instance, who has Muco-
Solvent at hand has an unfailing, in
fallible remedy to give to baby who in
the dead of night coughs and develops
feverish indication. If Muco-Solvent is
given baby will be safe from Group,
whooping cough, diphtheria, scarlet fe-
Yer, measles, etc.
A spray of Muco-Solvent into the nos
trils clears the head at once. Its ef-
feet is simply marvellous. In Hay Fee
yer, for instance, the effect is instan-
taneous and permanent for that season.
People with Grip or Colds should
spray the throat and nose and take a
dose internally three times a day. 1t
will be found that as a rule only a very
short treatment will be required.
1t does seem that any mother know
ing the remarkable properties of Muco-
Solvent is committing an act closely al
lied to criminality when she fails to
keep it on hand at all times.

SHERMAN IS HONORED.
Vice Presidential Candidate Guest of
Union League Club.

philadelphia, Oct. 21.-The Union
League club, and their guests, last
night at the Academy of Music, en-
Enthusiastically greeted James 5. Sher-
man. Republican vice presidential nom
inee.
The auditorium was surrounded by
great crowds which were unable to gain
admission. and an overflow meeting
was held.
Knox and General o. o. Howard also
spoke at the meeting. Mr.. Sherman
spoke in part as follows:
1.-The careless citizen may ask What
great harm Mr.. Bryan can do If Provl-
dence should punish the nation by per-
hitting his election to the presidency.
He could bring havoc to the currency
TO the banking system, and could
threaten the gold standard and the ma
tional credit. Who shall say how the
inaugural address of Mr.. Bryan might
change the whole aspect of our affairs.
1t would be possible for him to repeat
from the portico of the capitol his i'm
pious epigram against the gold stand
ard, the basis of our credit, and cur
rency. He has never recanted his
charge that American labor is crucited
on a cross of gold. Let no man vote
for Bryan who does not want those
words blazoned on the front of the
White House and capitol and made an
axiom OF our monetary policy.
The speaker described how presl-
dent might appoint a secretary of the
treasurer inimical to the gold stand
ard and thus disturb the financial con-
ditions. Mr. Sherman declared ouI
present system could be overthrown the
first day that Mr.. Bryan sat in the
presidential chair. He might choose the
legal tenders or the bank notes or the
gold standard for his first assault. He
would act through the treasury depart
ment, where he would place a plant
disciple. In payment of government
obligations he might forbid the use OF
gold in any form in preference to sill
yer.

MITCHELL DENIES STORY
Labor Leader Says Mine Workers Isn't
Partisan Organization.

Indianapolis, Oct. H.-Absolute denial OF
the report that he had stated a preference
for a presidential candidate was made
last night by John Mitchell. ex-president
of United Mine Workers of America 1t
has been represented that Mr.. Mitchell
was aiding Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Fedora ton of Labor in Mr..
Gomper's work in behalf of William j.
Bryan.
In closing his statement Mr.. Mitchell
says:
American labor movement and the action
of the United Mine Workers of America,
it is that the organizations of labor are
not committed to anv political party; the
WOrkingmen of America are endeavoring,
so far as lies in their power and without
regard to political affiliations, to elect to
public office bonafide members of trade
unions or other candidates who are known
to be in sympathy with the political and
industrial reforms necessary to the pro-
lection and preservation of the interests of
the wage earnerS.
ITO this end have written letters OF
urging our fellow workers to support
trade unionists and friends of the trade
union movement who have been nomin-
ated for official positions.
Il am sure that shall not be charged
with DarttsanShip when I advise each man
policies of the candidates to consider Sc
riOusly the effect of the election upon the
nation as a whole and upon that division
of society in particular to which he be-
longs; and having done this, it is his duty
to cast his ballot in accordance with his
best Judgment and with the dictates of his
lover and above all. trade unionists
should ever keep in mind the necessity of
preserving inviolate the strength and in
tegrity of the unions. When the election
is over and the excitement and enthusiasm
less of which party has been victorious
regardless of who Is elected to the presi-
dency-the organizations or labor. as mere
tofore. will be to the workingmen the
bulwark of their liberties"

THE sOONERS TOO FAST.
Oklahoma Had Little Trouble in De-
feating Aggies 33 to 4.

Manhattan, Kan. Oct. Z1.-Twenty-
five hundred lusty-lunged, overcon-
fident K. S. A. G. rooters cheering an
overconfident team saw their team
drubbed numerically mere Tuesday
afternoon by Bonnie Owens's batter
ing ram supplemented by a fleet set
of backs from Norman. At no time
was the game in doubt from the time
Oklahoma showed her first touch
down over three minutes after play
began. The Oklahomans' line proved
a veritable stone wall on defense, and
the Aggies could not stop its on
slaught on offense. The backs skirted
the Aggies' ends for long gains and
waded through their line for long dis
tances. One of the six touchdowns
made by the Sooners was a 60-yard
run by Wantland, who was the star
of the team from Norman. The
Aggies' only score was a field goal
drop kicked by Bates from the 10
yard line. where Oklahoma had lost
the ball on a tumble. The Aggies

made the required tenyards only three
times during the entire game. Okla
homa made three touchdowns, three
goals and one field goal during the
first half, leaving the field with 81
to score in their favor.
During the second half the Aggies
played a more consistent game, twice
holding the Sooners on their goal line.
The Oklahomans scored two touch
downs and two goals during this half.
Ahearn's warriors were outclassed and
defeated by the largest score that has
been made against the college on its
home ground for four years. The
final score was 33 to A..
