MEDIATORS ARE ON THE JOB

New York, Nov. 10. Efforts
are being made by John A. Moffitt
and James A. Smythe, United
States mediators, to bring about a
conference between the representa-
tives of the striking street car men
and the officials Of the street car
companies, looking to settlement
of the strike. The mediators are
acting under instructions Of Secre-
tary of Labor Wilson, who sent
them to investigate, on request of
Organizer Fitzgerald.
AS yet little progress has been
made by the mediators Efforts
were made to secure a conference
with the representatives of the
street car companies involved, but
nothing dehnate has developed
The mediators are, however, said
to be optimistic and hopeful of be
ing able to bring the representa-
tives of the men and the officials of
the companies together.
Street car service is very badly
crippled, and Organizer Fitzgerald
claims that there are still IL 04S
men on strike, and that only 10
have returned to work.
Governor Whitman refused to rem
der any assistance when appealed
to on behalf Of the strikers. He
answered by notifying Organizer
Fitzgerald that he had referred his
request to the Public Service Com
mission, and there the matter rests
for the present.
After conference with the med
iators Organizer Fitzgerald denied
a statement that terms of settle
ment had been made to him. He
said that responsibility for further
peace parties was in the hands Of
the mediators. 1t is asserted that
1900 of the strikers have found
other employment, aud that the
remainder are still holding out.

A Question 70. Colonel Harvey.


Springfield, Mass, Republican: Edi-
tor George Harvey has returned from
England with a load of war stuff
which he finds useful for the North
American Review. The publication
of the British officers story of his
personally conducted massacre of
twenty-four German prisoners could
be not unwisely omitted from any de-
cent magazine, but the detail in it
which may have fascinated Editor
Harvey was the concluding statement
by the officer who had proudly shot
twenty-four helpless prisoners. That
heroic figure. which Editor Harvey
has done his best to- immortalize,
wound up by saying:
There are lust two men in the
world l should have liked to have in
line with those twenty-four One is
the kaiser and-well. never mind who
the other ia.
That is calculated to shock the
larger part of the American people,
who retain a degree OF respect for
their own government and the mead
of it. Some Of them may ask Edi-
tor Harvey an embarrassing question
Did you sympathiEe or not with
the British officer in his desire to
have had In line the kaiser and-well,
never mind who the other isl"

CHEW TOBACCO
It's the Only Way That Real Tnbacco
Hunger Can Be Entirely
Satisfied
" OLD KENTUCKY !" IDEAL CHEW

Since tobacco was first introduced to
civilization, nobody has ever discovered
SO supreme1y satisfactory a way to get
all the flavor and enjoyment out of it
as chewing it. And no other form. Of
chew can give you the hearty, whole
some, juicy flavor that you get
from delicious high-gradc Plug tobac-
co like Old Kentucky.
The secret of the greatest chewing
satisfaction lies in the selection of your
chew. Among plug tobaccos the brand
that gets the most enthusiastic en-
dorsemcnt is undoubtedly Old Ken
lucky. The reason for this is not hard
to find.
Old Kentucky is made exclusively of
ripe Kentucky Burley-the most richly
favored chewing tobacco that grows.
Still more, only the very choicest of
all the Burley leaf is used for Old
Kentucky.
This choice leaf i. selected with the
most painstaking care, is stemmed by
hand. Is thoroughly washed free Of all
foreign matter and is pressed into
plugs so slowly that not a drop of
juice or an atom Of favor escapes.
Moreover, Old Kentucky is made under
the most rigid. cleanly and sanitary
conditions.
The result is sweet, mellow, lus-
cious, satisfying chew that cannot be
obtained in any other tobacco than Old
Kentucky.
