TWO NOTICES POSTED IN DISTRICT
Mine Worker* Are Warned Not to Be
Tempted By Increase—Regular Ad
vance Previously Fixed—Sixteen Per
Cent Better Wages than Before Strike.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1.—The fol- I
lowing notice, bearing date of October
1, was posted today in the vicinity of
all the collieries of the Philadelphia
& Heading Coal and Iron company in
the anthracite region.
Philadelphia & Heading Coal and
Iron Co., October 1.—This company
will pay an advance of 10 per cent on
all men and Doys employed in its col
lieries. This advance takes effect to
day. R. C. LUTHER,
General Superintendent.
Beneath this notice another was
posted which read as follows:
Fellow Mine Workers, United Mine
Workers of America—Do not pay any
attention to this notice posted by Mr.
Luther of the Philadelphia & Reading
Coal and Iron company, but wait un
til you hear from President Mitchell
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
ica, or until you have decided by your
own locals what is right for you to
do. C. B. POTTB-*..
Mr. Potter is an officer in the dis
trict branch of the United .nine Work
er osf America.
The regular Reading company ad
vance for the last half of September
and the first half of October nad pre
viously been fixed at o per cent above
the $2.50 basis. The scale for the pre
ceeding thirty days was at the $2.50
basis. The advance of 10 per cent of
fered in the posted notice by the
Reading company is separate and dis
tinct from the natural scale increase
and hence the total increase to the
miners would be 16 per cent.
SHAMOKIN, Pa., Oct. 1.—Notices
were posteo here today by the Phila
delphia & Reading Coal & Iron Com
pany tq the effect that beginning with
tomorrow an advance of 10 per cent
on the net wages of all men and boys
will obtain. While some strikers said
they were ready to go to work in the
morning others hold that it would not
be wise until President Mitchell had
issued official notice as to the course
the men should pursue. ,
Interest is manifested as to whether
the Reading company’s collieries will
be able to work tomorrow, irrespec
tive of the question of the recogni
tion of the mine workers’ union by
the mine operators.
SCRANTON, Pa., Oct. 1.—At every
colliery in the anthracite region a
notice will be posted Tuesday morn
ing announcing a 10 per cent increase
in wages based on the present scale,
effective October 1 and, that the oper
ators will arbitrate any grievance
their employes may present. There
Is no condition to be attached as to
the men returning to work before the
arbitration shall begin, so it is to be
Inferred tnat the men are privileged
to meet in convention and adopt any
plan of action they may deem advisa
ble before entering upon arbitration.
It li supposed the miners will come
together as members of the umon, fix
the minimum of the concessions they
will bo content with and then go forth
as individuals to treat with their em
ployers tnrough committees of em
ployes. The arbitrations being con
cluded satisfactorily committees of
employes will report back to the con
vention of United Mine workers that
thejy have coma to a settlement and
the strike will then be declared off.
This would avoid the recognition of
the union by the operators and at the
same time permit the union to regu
late the terms of settlement.

complexion and straight, black hair.
His secretary, who says that he has
known Lopez for eight years, is a co
lonial from Queenstown, and describes
himself as a Britisher from head to
foot. At the dock there was only one
man to meet him, a large sandy-haired
personage who was addressed as Mr.
George, but to reporters refused to give
hla name. He saluted the Filipino and

Lopez gave out the following state
ment:
“My object in visiting the United
States is not to interfere in American
politics, but solely to tell the American
people what the Filipinos desire in ref
erence to the future government of our
country. It has been suid that my
coming to America is in the interest
of certain persons and parties. We,
as Filipinos, know no parties in the
United States. We have only one de
sire, to seek justice for our country.
“Those who desire to give us justice
will no doubt be glad to know the wants
and conditions of the Philippines. All
we want is peace with honor to both
parties and I hope to be able to show
that the conditions of our country are
such as to fit u.i for the maintenance
of that independence.”

quiet the belligerent factions. This
was agreed to by the natives on the
understanding that $12.50 for each
rifle should be paid. Some 2,000 rifles
were turned over. Dr. Solf, the gov
ernor, has proposed that the payment
shall be made under the proposition
of the foreign consuls that the con
siderable amount of money involved
shall not lead to disorder among the
natives. The three parties interested
in Samoa at the time of the surren
der of the rifles—the United States,
Germany and Great Britain—will
jointly contribute the amount re
quired and no difficulty is apprehend
ed in making the settlement.

back of the fore wheels. Ustick was
thrown unaer the engine and dragged

taneous. His intestines, stomach,
heart, lungs and liver were torn out
of the body and lay some thirty feet
from it. The right arm was cut off
and there was hardly a whole bone
in the body. The undisputed evidence
showed that the trainmen made every
effort to avoid the collision as soon as
they discovered the danger, though at
the time of the accident the train was
running at a greater rate of speed
than permitted by the ordinances of
the village of Pilger, within whose
limits the accident happened. A

which joins the saloon and after some
words with Richardson the parties
came together and Richardson slapped
Cline and immediately Cline shot him
through the abdomen, .from the ef
fects of which he died soon after. It
is alleged on the part of the defense
that before Cline and his wife were
put out of the saloon that Cline’s wife
had been Insulted by a guest of Rich
ardson’s saloon and Cline took the
matter up and Richardson took the
part of his guest and from this the
shooting resulted.
