VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS.

Newport News, Va, July 27.-Many
delegates and visitors are arriving in
Newport News to attend the republi-
can state convention, which will be
called to order at II o'clock tomor-
row morning to nominate candidates
for governor and other state officers
to be voted for at the election next
November For the first time in the
history of the republican party in Vir-
ginia the leaders believe they have
some show of electing their state
ticket, as a result of the split in the
democratic ranks. Several promi-
nent republicans are being doomed
for the head of the ticket, and it is
possible there may be lively contest
in the convention before the choice is
decided. 1t is understood that the
platform will advocate statewide pro-
hibition in opposition to the demo
cratic platform of local option.

TAKE A SUNSHINE TABLET FOR
THY SToMAcH's SAKE.

There never was such a marvellous
prescription for stomach distress and
indigestion as Mona.
No doctor ever wrote better one;
it's doubtful if any doctor ever will.
It's so good that Bratton says money
back if it doesn't cure.
A woman in Maine calls Mi-o-na
the sunshine prescription because she
has seen so many sour, miserable, ag-
gravating dyspeptics turned into hap
Ply, cheerful, sweet human beings in
few days by taking Mona
The stomach is responsible for
three-fourths of the nervousness and
half the misery of the world. A wo-
man can have a first-class stomach
and yet be miserable if she has a
husband who is a nervous dyspeptic.
If you have Indigestion, belching of
gas, heaviness after eating, drowsy
sensation after eating, sour stomach
or any miserable stomach disturbance
the prescription called Mona will
put you right, and bring sunshine in
to your life in a week
A large box of Mi-o-na tablets cost
only so cents at Bratton Drug Co.,
and by leading druggists everywhere.
They are small and easy to swallow.

A GREAT COAL STRlhr
Industries of Great Britain Are Facing
a Serious situation-Decision Is
Awaited With interest.
(Herald Specially


London, July 27.--The industries OF
Great Britain are facing serious sit
uation and are looking forward with
tremendous anxiety and misgivings to
the decision which the morrow will
bring. Is there to be a national
strike of the coal miners, or not, that
is the question of which the final de-
cision is expected tomorrow, when
the executive committee of the Min.
ers' Confederation of Great Britain
will meet to canvas the votes cast at
the referendum.
About ten days ago the Miners
Confederation, after a prolonged meet
ing, in which no decision could be
reached, decided to submit the Ques-
tion as to whether or not national
strike should be declared in support
of the Scottish miners, who are re-
! sisting wage reduction of six pence
per day, to the vote of the million or
more members of the confederation
The referendum was completed today
and tomorrow, it is expected, the ex-
ecutive committee, having canvassed
the vote, will announce the final de-
cision.
It is rather a serious matter, for
should the decision be in favor of a
national strike the complete stoppage
of the work in the mines would en-
tail practically the complete paralyza-
ton of British industry. The crisis
in the coal industry is due primarily
TO the passage last year of the So
called eight-hour law 1t was put into
effect on the first day of the present
month, except in the districts of
Northumberland and Durham, in the
neighborhood of the location of the
present difficulty.
The questions at issue in South
Wales are two. The colliery owners,
contend that the shortening of the
hours of work will prevent many

~. unless the men consent to the two
shift system, under which two dis
tinct patches of miners are engaged
in the pit, each for eight hours, thus
giving sixteen hours productive labor
in all. To this the men are hostile,
as they assert that, with the double
shift it is difficult to keep the mines
clear of dangerous gases. The own
ers contend that the system is safer
A second demand to which the men
take objection is that they should
work sixty hours in the year over and
above the eight hours per day, which
is permitted by the law
The present difficulty is not the
first which has arisen under the new
act. Just before it went into effect
general strike was threatened over
the situation in Wales, where the
same questions were at issue as are
now endangering the industrial peace.
The trouble in Wales, however, was

SETH " a compromised The sixty
hours question was lefs open with the
understanding that it was to be set
tied by a test case. With regard to
the question of double shifts it was
agreed that that method may be
adopted, provided it can be done safe
ly and the men do not object; but the
owners agreed not to introduce the
system without first having consulted
their men.
The men employed in the coal
mines of England, Scotland and Wales
are working under an agreement
which, under ordinary circumstances,
would not have expired until March,
1910. But, when the new law was
passed, the operators contended that
it nullified the agreement, as it forced
certain important alterations in work
ing conditions The result was that
on June 1 of this year they formally
notified the Miners Confederation
that they would terminate the agree
ment on the last day of June, the day
before the new law becaem effective.
This decision practically reopened
the various questions of more or
less local nature, which would have
remained dormant until the expira-
ton of the general agreement in 1910
had it not been for. the passage of
the eight-hour law.
