Company of Infantry Arrives in
Brownsville Today.

Brownsville, Pa, Nov. 4.-United

strike duty today when a company of

d. Evans carried camp equipment and
ample supplies for long stay.

ploying some 10000 miners. 1t is on
the edge of the non-union mine coun-
try.

trolled by the United Mine Workers
are to be kept in operation under the
protection of the troops, it was stated
by the operators.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Con-
ressionaI action to end the coal
.trike was started today when
Senator Kenyon introduced a
Joint resolution for appointment
Of a commission of three mem
3ers to arrange settlement by

The resolution, which must re-

ouse and President Wilson be-
ore becoming effective, would
ermit the commission fifteen
avs in which to attempt direct
ettlement of the strike. If un-
uccessful within that time, the
commission would then be en-
powered to issue public recon-
mendations of what it regards as
fair terms. The measure was re-
ferred to the senate labor COM
mittee, of which Kenyon is
hartman.
While this action was being
AIKEN in Washington, John l..
lewis, president of the United

ment in Indianapolis-the first
since the strike began-saying
''it would be a simple matter for
the government and operators to
set in motion" the machinery of
the joint system of bargaining
ito negotiate a wage agree
ment."
Lewis's statement was regarded in
official circles in the capital as a pos
sible invitation to the government to
Vacate its restraining order. so the
unions might act with the government
in re-opening negotiations.

REDS in A VICTORY
Bolshevist Army Surrounds
Russians Near Petr0grad.
General Yudenitch Was in At
tack ON Capital.

London Nov. A claim that the
Northwestern Russian army of Cen
eral Yudenitch. which has been at
lacking Petrograd, has been surround
ed by the Boisheviki is made in a So
Wet government wireless dispatch
from Moscow dated today.
The claim to have effected an en-
circlement of the northwestern Rus
sian army is presumably based upor
the successes of the Bolsheviki against
the Petrograd-Luga-P -PskoV railway
by which the southwark railroad com
munications of General Yudenitcf
with his Baltic sea base are cut. The
capture of Luga and Pskov and e
comparatively short advance to the
southern end of Lake Peipus, a con-
siderable body of water reaching from
the vicinity of Pskov to within thirty
miles of the gulf of Finland. would
prove an absolute bar to retirement
southwark by General Yudenitch.
Nothing has been received, however
to indicate that the gap between Lake
Peipus and the Gulf of Finland hai
been closed. The presence of a con
siderable body of Bolshevist troops II

My Waterman Pen.

Newspapers chronicle the deeds of
men,
I have a tale to tell of pen.
In 1904 I had much to write
From early morn till late at night.
So bought a Waterman's Ideal Pen,
Two dollars and a half I paid for it
then.
In 1905 my work increased,
No rest for the pen, not the very
least.
1906 was banner year;
Our letters were scattered far and
7-S-9 were much the same
The pen was gradually winning fame.
1910 there was never a check;
The pen was ever and always on deck.
11-12, like the zone boss shay"
It still kept on-plugging away.
13-no change-then IA came;
The pen was crippled-getting lame.
1915 still scratched along,
Minus a point on it's under prong.
Ten full years in my busy den
Is mighty fine record for any pen.
Now it's coming close to Easter time,
And if you happen on friend of
mine
Just tell him this-That in mortal
ken
There's nothing I'd love like a new
Waterman Pen.
