Charley Finley owner of the
Proctor Mines and worst enemy
to labor in the 10Th District, is
running one r. S. Rose for Cir
cult Judge of this District
boosting him in his paper, and
holding him up to the laboring
class as a great friend to labor
What a joke! The idea of Char
ley Finley running Il man for
Circuit Judge in the interest of
abor! There is a fight on in
the 10th District now between
the miners and operators. The
hardest fight that will be waged
in the District will be to organ
ize the proctor Mines. The min
ers will meet more opposition
from Charley Finley than from
any other one man. The ques-
tion is: Will they permit him
to fight them and at the same
time vote for his man for Circuit
Judge and place him on the
bench where he will be ready
to grant an injunction when Fin
ley demands it. He could not
get away from Finley.

Laboring Man, if you want to
know how he feels toward you
and your interests, ask John
Mullan, of Kensee. Ask him
what r. S. Rose said to him
about John Mitchell, the great
United Mine Workers leader.
He said to Mr.. Mullen that John
Mitchell was an agitator and if
there was a man on earth that
he despised it was an agitotor.
He told Mr.. Mullan that if he
had his way that Mitchell would
not stop at the penitentiary, but
hell would be too good for him.
Rose made this statement to Mr..
Mullan while he was Police
Judge Of Jsllico, Kentucky. and

: candidate and when he was like
ly to express his real views an,
! display his real attitude towart
miners. He made the statemen
at a time when John Mitchell
was leading fight for the min
ers. Mr.. Mullan was in Mr.
Roses office in Jellico and they
were discussing the labor fight
which was then on and Mr.. Rose
made the statements as a bove.
In another column of this paper
will be found a letter from Null
Ian to Charles Finley in which
he charges Rose with these
statements and gives that as his
reason for supporting Bird and
against Rose for Circuit Judge.
John Mullen is the oldest min
er in Whitley county. He has
been at the Kensee mines for
the past thirty years. There is
no more honorable man in Whit
ley county. There are miners in
every mining camp in the 34th
Judicial district that know him.
John Mullen has been in the
front ranks in all the struggles
for the betterment of labor con-
ditions in this District. Now,
Mr.. Miner, with Finley, your
worst enemy running Rose-with |
the vile statement Rose made to!
John Mullan about the greatest
leader the miners ever had, John,
Mitchell, are you going to let
Charley Finley pull the wool ov-

would put up enough money to v
induce one of them to take hold j

ey. Once in a while it does a
appen that the miners are be- Il
rayed by one of their own men, a
nd are delivered into the hands s
f the enemy, but we believe t
hat the miners of this District k
re too wise to be deceived in y
his manner. y
Mr.. Rose says he is a friend n
o the miners because he has I
rought suits for them against t
he coal companies. Yes he has q
suits. 1t is said of him .

Weekly Dry Goods Review

New York, October 6.-The changed outlook in raw cotton has stimulated trade in cotton goods and price re- covery from the weakness of last month has been rapid. Sales have not been especially large owing to the un- willingness of mills to make long commitments and their lack of sup plies from the new crop.
 Print cloths are within half a cent yard of the top prices or the year; sheetings have recovered more than half the losses on many construc- tions and fine goods have begun to show activity. Percales for spring, which had been priced at cents a yard higher than the prices for fall, were withdrawn from the markets after active initial trading.
 Ginghams continue very firm and in good demand. staple ginghams being especially strong. Denims are back at the higher figures of the year and still scarce for quick delivery from first hands.
 Labor scarcity continued and wages are being advanced irregularly in some mill centers. Export demand has been restricted by the scarcity of spot goods of the kinds wanted and by cur tailed facilities for shipment. Govern ment calls are steady and goods on order are being hurried out wherever more haste is possible. Retail distri- button has shown improvement. Quo- tations on cotton goods are as fol- lows:
 Print cloths. 2s-inch, s4x64s. 7M c; 64x60s. 7hc; 3S1R inch, 64x64s 10Mc, brown sheetings southern standards. 15kc: denims 2.20s indigo, 2Sc; tick ings. s.ounce. 35c; prints. 121sc; staple ginghams, 15kc; dress ginghams, 17Hc.
