My long experience as driver of the

for the morning after when the copper.
plated stomach IS hot and tender, and
feels like giving up the ghost. Water
then gurgles down as a puriing brook
In some mountain haunt.

Its a tough drive on the old cart

didn't like tho Old cart myself twenty
five years ago. but now It's a regular

TAMAQUA, Pa. Jan. L-Nine distinct
raps from the miners entombed in the
East Lehigh coiliery caused return Of
hope early today to the hundreds Of
half-frantic women and children who
had stood all night about the entrance
to the mine.
Workers In the two rescue parties
who are desperately striving to reach
the entombed men take the nine taps
to mean that all nine Of the miners are
alive and together. The further sounds
of picks from the inside Of the slope
told the workers that under the leader
ship of william Berry, inside foreman
of the mine. the imprisoned men are
working to meet the rescuers.
Officials of the mine and those In
charge of the gangs Of rescuers hope
to reach the entombed miners by Z
o'clock this afternoon. but the workers
are pessimistic and do not think they
will be reached for at least twenty-four
hours.
Ain is being pumped into the mine I'M
cessantly. The officials believe that
some OF this IL reachine the miners in
SIDE the slope, owing to the fact that
the lights o nthe miners lamps show
that the air Is passing Inward.

Washington.-S. B. Kaufman, pub
Usher in Coatesville, Pa. who furnished
to the steel investigating committee a
copy of the steel pool agreement, which
he printed for A. F. Huston, president
of the Lukens Iron and Steel Company,
of that place, charges that the men
against whom he gave testimony have
driven him out of business as printer
and into bankruptcy. Kaufman was for
many years the owner and publisher OF
the Daily Union at Coatesville. which
recently was sold by the sheriff Ac-
cording to the story told to Representa-
tive Stanley of Kentucky, who was
chairman of the steel investigating COM
mittee, Kaufman was forced out OF
business because men against whom he
testified were influential enough to strip
his paper of advertising. 'It took them
almost two years to close up our busi-
ness, but they did it very effectively,
leaving me without cent" is the
declaration of Kaufman. Yet the attor.
neys for all the subsidiary companies OF
the Steel Trust have united in their op-
position to the labor organizations in re.
fusing to purchase the products of un.
fair concerns, denominating the practice
as unjust and un-American."

AMERICANS VS.. oRIENrALs.

Washington.-Presiden George Per-
kins of the Cigarmakers' International
Union, in circular just sent out from
this city, opposes the present program
of admitting cigars from the Philippines
duty free, and says in one paragraph of
the circular: 1.-THE notion that Ameri-
can workingmen can compete with
Oriental, the cheapest labor in the
world, of the Philippine Islands is ab-
surd and preposterous and absolutely
out of the question. The wage paid for
making cigars in the Philippine Islands
is less than one-fourth of the wages re-
ceived by cigarmakers in the United
States. In the third annual report of
the Bureau of Labor of the Philippine
Islands, page Is, issued in 1912, it Off
cially states that wages of 11,300 cigar
makers in the Philippine Islands in
fifty-three factories were 1913 pesos an
nually or about s96.50, American money,
or 80 cents per day, while the average
wages of cigarmakers in this country
are at least s150 a day, which includes
the unorganized as well as the organ
lied. | estimate that the average wages
of the union cigarmakers is at least So
per day, and as a matter of fact that is
pretty nearly the minimum wage, and it
ranges from that sum to as high as IS
per day"

IMPROVED MINING CONDITIONS.

ashington.--According to a report of
the Bureau of Mines during the calendar
year 1912, there were 1850 men killed in
and about the coal mines of the United
States, based on an output of 550.000,000
short tons of coal produced by 100000
men. The number of men killed for
every 100000 tons of coal mined was
4.29. and the death rate per 1000 en-
ployes was BIS. The number of men
killed was the least since 1906. The
death rate per 1000 employees was the
smallest since 1899. The death rate per
1.000,000 tons of coal mined was the
lowest and the number of tons produced
in proportion to the number of men
killed was the greatest on record. The
reports asserts that these facts offer in
disputable evidence that conditions
tending toward safety in coal mining are
actually improving, and that coal is now
being mined with less danger to the
miner than ever before.

HRorHeRHoop OF TRANSFERS.

Indianapolis.-The Teamsters' Union,
of Rochester. N. Y, has been successful
in obtaining a substantial increase in
wages and better working conditions as
the result of a short strike. The in
crease in wages will average about 50 a
week. President Tobin, of the Brother
hood, states that all over the country
there is a tendency on the part of en-
ployers to sign increased wage scales
and grant better working conditions.
with scarcely any difficulty encountered
where men are thoroughly organized. At
the present time there are only few
men involved in strike, while at this
time in years past there have been sew
eral thousand engaged in contests, which
indicates that employers begin to realize
that the amicable adjustment of differ
ences is of equal advantage to them, as
well as to the teamsters. During the
past month the international Brother
hood of Transfers has issued ten char
ters.

SERIOUS CHARGE.

Hazleton, Pa.-Many charges are made
against the l. w. WIS in their dealings
with the wage earners whom they In
duce to strike. Upon the close OF the re-
cent mill strike in this city meeting
was held and several speakers severely
criticised the methods of this band of in
dustrial buccaneers. Andrew Matti. an
officer OF the United Mine Workers OF
America made the following statement:
1.-The l. w. WIS have $500 In bank, but
they have not provided that relief for
which the money was contributed. They
have withheld funds in order that they
might have fat living FOR themselves.
You strikers have the right to demand
that money. II the I. WI WIS didn't win
the strike. they won the money" The
$500 mentioned was donated for the
benefit of the strikers by the local
unions in Hazleton, and action will
probably be taken to prevent the l. w.
WIS from using this money for any
other purpose than that for which 1t was
intended.

PITTsBuRe's MOVEMENT.

Pittsburg.-The forward movement in
this city, backed by the Iron City Cen
trail Trades Council, is assuming large
proportions. Organizing meetings have
been held in every part of the city and
surrounding territory at the noon hour,
evenings, on street corners, and in halls
Among the first accomplishments was
the establishment of a union composed
of several hundred of the 10000 en-
ployes of the Pressed Steel Car Works,
in Schoenville and Lower Allegheny.
Since the organization was formed the
membership has continued to rapidly
grow. AS result of this organization
the Pressed Steel Car Company has
posted a notice of a general increase in
wages amounting to as high as 81 day
to skilled men engaged on piece work.
The men, however, are sticking to the
union. At the plant of the Pittsburg
Reduction Company nearly 200 drivers
and helpers were on strike when the
moving spirits in the forward move
ment offered their services. AS a result
a 25-cent per day increase in wages was
secured, giving to the drivers a scale of
s2.25 per day and SO for helpers, and
union organized. The Southside Flint
Glass Workers, who are on strike, are
now practically all members of the Flint
Glass Workers Union, and the factories
are closed down. Aside from the pro-
gress mentioned, practically all of the
organizations in Pittsburg are feeling
the effects of the movement by sub
stantial increase in membership.

in public office should receive the same
courteous treatment that business
house accords its patrons. and II am
elected Commissioner will In this re-
spect continue the same policy that has
been followed by me in the City Clerks
Office
The smaller property owner should
not bear the burden OF inequitable tax
levies, and I shall always insist on
square deal in this respect.
In the matter of Fire and Police pro-
lection believe that all sections should
share equally, and there should be
plenty OF street lights judiciously distri
buted and properly placed.
Believing as do that the City should
undertake all its improvements by day
labor, favor the abolition as far ms
practicable Of the contract system on all

opportunities for fraud and inadequate
service.

masks that will eventually produce bene-

Company, with a factory in this city, is
being given some daylight. The man.
ager of the concern, man named
Derby, was recently compelled to testify,
but he resorted to many devices to keep
the truth hidden, when one of the COM
mittee said: 81 want to tell you, Mr..
Derby, that l for one wish / had the
power to drive your concern from Illi-
nois. You are a disgrace to the State.
We learned of one poor girl who worked
for you and was driven to prostitution
because your firm paid her only $3.50 a
week, and she could not live on it. We
had to go into executive session because
the testimony was so rotten that the
public should not hear it" Many stories

fled to before the committee. by the en-
