MINERS WIN VICTORY.
Anthracite Workers to Receive Half
Million In Back Wages.

Anthracite Workers to Receive Halt
Million In Back Wages.
Decisions recently handed down by
G. P. Neill United States commission
er of labor, as umpire on deadlocked
grievances submitted to him by the
anthracite Cancellation board give vic
tories to the anthracite coal miners in
three important cases. Chief among
them is the action of the umpire in sus-
tanning the contention of the mine
workers that they are entitled to Z per
cent bonus under the sliding scale for
March, 1912, the last under operation
of the old agreement
This means the distribution of about
half a million dollars to the anthra-
cite employees in back pay. The ques-
ton was raised by John Fahey, former
president of the Schuyllzill district.
In his decision Umpire Neill said in
part:
Probably no question would have
arisen over the matter had the agree
ment of May 20, 1912, been reached at
date prior to April 1 and had there
in consequence been no suspension Of
work and had the regular reduction in
price of 80 cents per ton been made on
April 1. The fact that all the employ
ees suspended work on April 1, pend
ing the negotiations for a new agree
ment, does not change the fact that
there was still due them one further
payment on account of the sliding
scale"
The claim of the engineers and other
monthly employees of the Scranton
Coal company for the 10 per cent in
crease granted under the 1912 agree
ment is sustained by the umpire. This
affects engineers all through the hard
coal region who may not have been
included in the 1912 wage advance.
Commissioner Neil has since re-
signed and is now with the American
Smelling and Refining company. He
will organize and conduct its labor de-
partment.

BOOM THE LABEL.

The full blooded union man is
the one who demands the union
label all the time.
The union label needs commit
tees to make the members buy
union label goods more than COM
mittees to ask merchants to car
ry union label goods.
Complaint is sometimes made
that merchants make a bluff at
carrying union label goods in
stock. This is perfectly natural
as long as the union label de-
mand is confined to committee
demands. When the rank and
file of the membership of unions
call for union label goods them
selves the merchants will also
stop blufflng.

When rain falls from cloudless
sky it is generally believed that the
moisture has been brought by the wind
at a great elevation. In the south At
lantle it has been known to rain for
more than an hour while the sky was
entirely free from clouds. In the island
Of Mauritius 1t is not at all uncommon
for rain to come from cloudless heav-
en-. Slight showers fall during the
evening when the stars are shining
brightly. 1t is thought by some that
these showers are the result Of parti-
cles of Ice formed in the higher region
of the atmosphere melting aud falling.
Others attribute it to currents Of warm
and cold air travelling in opposite d.
rections. with the result that the lat
ter condenses some of the moisture in
the former and causes it to fall in the
form of rain

LINTON, IND, Nov. 1S.-Edward
Duncan, az. of Quinlin, Mo, now
working as miner at Daytonville,
came here on a noon train to-day
and going to the home of his former
wife. Mrs. Lula Taylor, SO, who was
divorced last week from him mar
ried to Hillman Taylor the next day,
murdered both of them.
Duncan entered the Taylor home
while the family was at dinner and
shot Taylor three times, killing him
instantly. Mrs. Taylor ran into the
yard screaming. She was followed
by Duncan who shot her to death.
When arrested Duncan said he
came to Linton expressly to kill the
man and woman and that he was now
ready to die. He said he did not pro
pose to permit his former wife to
live with another man.
