STRIKES
OVER; MINERS WIN
COAL WORKERS. WALK-ouT FIN
ALLY SETTLED AT CHICAGO
CONFERENCE.
TWO YEARS. PEACE SURE
Union Gets Lions Share of Demand,
Peoria Scale Adopted = Work
to Be Resumed Saturday in
Mines that are Ready.

Chicago, Ill.-Industrial peace for
at least two years has been re-
stored in the Illinois coal mines.
After five months of stubborn con-
flict, unmarked by any acts of ex-
IRENE violence, the operators and min.
ers have agreed to bury their differ
ences and to esum operation of the
mines. In the settlement, the miners
got the lions share of the demands,
only some minor details having been
changed. The full scale of wages
and prices set by the Peoria conven-
ton will be paid by the operators.
The settlement was reached at a
conference between a committee Of
operators and the executive board OF
the Illinois miners. The operators
protested that the agreement was I'M
Just and Harry N. Taylor withdrew
from the committee rather than agree
to it.
The wage increase, together with
the safety appliances which the op.
orators must install in compliance
with the recently enacted law, will
add at least twelve cents a ton to the
cost of coal production in the state.
Inequalities of mining rates, com
pared with those of other states, OF
which the Illinois operators complain
ed at the beginning of the strike,
have been increased, throwing the
mine owners still further out Of line
n competition with the operators OF
Indiana and Ohio. The payment of
the wages of shot-firers against which
the operators have commended since
the law went into effect five years
ago, forms the heaviest burden they
VIII have to pay as the price of their
defeat.
The Illinois operators from the be.
glnnig offered to pay the national de.
mands and settle on the same terms
as did the operators in western Penn.

the offer was rejected by the miners.

Cement Industry, However, Is Now
Practically ~Undeveloped.

Jefferson City Although the &C.
ment industry in Missouri is still
practically undeveloped, Missouri
ranks second In the production of that
useful building material, according to
figures compiled by Joseph G. Hitler,
state labor commissioner, for the an
nual report of the bureau for 1910.
In 1909 the cement works OF the
state turned out w3,412,1GO barrels of
cement, valued at $2,S08, 916. The
year previous there were 1925 04
barrels produced, valued at $2,571, 1856.
This gives an increase of 4S2,656 bar
rels, with an aggregate value of $780,
$50.
So far there has been no cement
produced in Missouri outside of Rails,
Jackson and St. Louis counties, and
during the year 1909 there were but
four plants in operation. Hitler sug-
gests that plants could be p~rofitably
started in Greene county, near Spring
field; Jasper county, near Joplin, and
another in st. Louis county.

Near Norfolk, Virginia,
Results Fatally.

Washington, d. C.-Three coal
passers are dead and seven machin-
lists and firemen injured as the result
OF oil catching fire on the battleship
North Dakota. This report was re-
ceived at the navy department from
Admiral Schroeder, COMMANDMENTS
chief OF the Atlantic fleet.
A special telegram to the Norfolk
Ledger-Dispatch from Old Point Com
fort, said that seven men were killed

shrewd Scheme STONED Run.


Many years ago, in consequence of
a commercial panic, there was a severe
run on a bank in South Wales, and
the small farmers jostled each other
In crowds to draw out their money.
Things were rapidly going from bad
to worse, when the bank in
a fit of desperation, suddenly be-
thought him of an expedient. BY his
directions a clerk, having heated some
sovereigns in a frying-pan, paid them
over the counter to an anxious appli-
cant, Why, they're quite hot!" said
the latter as he took them up. "Of
course" was the reply; what else
could you expect? They are only Just
out Of the mold. We are coming them
by hundreds as fast as we. can"
Coming them!" thought the simple
agrtculturists; then there is no fear
of the money running short!" With
this their confidence revived, the pam
ic abated, and the bank was enabled
to weather the storm.

OF industrial training in the Missouri

an adjunct to treatment has been in

highly encouraging.
1t has been found that nearly every
