THE OMAHA DAILY T1EE: TlimSDAY, DlXKMnF.Tt I. 1002. STRIKE HEARING RESUMED Jd'-.u M.lcliel! Es'.imatea Increased Coal Co3t if Higher WijfljArB Paid '. RENEW RUMORS OF PRIVATE SETTLEMENT l,r-r) t Will Sot Disease Report, bat n of Tliem Admit !amrthlil of the ort la In the Air. SCRANTON. Ic. S The strike commis sion resumed today, and unless something Ik rtone to curtail matters the proceedings will rui Into next year. With the reassembling of the commis sion icila, however, there was a revival of tbu talk of "a settlement out of court." Nothing definite has been done and neither aide has approached the other so far as can he learned regarding further negotia tions, but as one prominent attorney ex pressed it, "There is something In the air." The lawyers on both sides have heard th? rumor, but profess to know nothing about It. Judge Gray, speaking for the commission, today again expressed the liope that efforts would be made to agree on as many points as possible and that the the commission was ready to lend any con ciliatory help to bring about that end. - ' M Wlthesaea Are Called. Six witnesses were on the stand during the day-', 3ohn Mitchell, two photograph ers two' practical miners, one of them a Hungarian, and the wife of a German miner. Mr. Mitchell was called to show that a 20 per cent Increase In wages did not mean1 a corresponding increase in the price per ton of coal. The photographers produced about half a hundred photo graphs they had taken of the mine work ers In the Hazleton region. The miners testified with reference to wages paid and working conditions at the collieries of Coxe Bros. & Co., and the woman, whose husband Is employed in the Coxe mines, told a general story of poverty. The commissioners are anxious for docu mentary evidence, such as waga statements and other data bearing on wages and con ditions. - This was strongly evidenced to day when they eagerly seised upon the due bills banded tip by the Hungarian witness. Every member of the commission ex amlned these and had questions to ask about them. It was decided to give all companies Who have not been a party to tha arbitration commission until 10 tomorrow to file their answers to Mr. Mitchell original state ment. Estimates Coat of Coal. John Mitchell was called to the stand and aaid 20 per cent Increase in wares would increase the labor cost lesa than 10 cents a ton. Taking Baer's state ment as a basis he said the Increase would be about 17 cents a ton. 1 He was cross-examined by Wayne Mac Veagh and other attorneys. In reply to a question Mr. Mitchell said the companlea were not averse to Increasing the wages of the men, but did not do ao because they were opposed to the union. W. H. Deterrr, president of a local union employed as a miner by Coxe Bros., Graf ton, said company men were paid an aver of $7.20 a week and a blacklist existed at tha Coxe mine. . He himself, was on the blacklist (or nine months, because he refused to work a breast, which netted him only $3 a week. He also complained of the docking system.

He waa followed by Mike Midll, Hungar ian, who has been employed In tha ' Coxe mines for four years. Mike, as the com missioners familiarly addressed him. said h earned about $250 last year. He submitted his wage statements for A CAUSE OP HEADACHE. Very Common Caste, Generally Overlooked. Headache la a symptom, an Indication of derangement or disease in some organ, and the cause of tha headache is difficult to lo cate because so many diseases have head ache as a prominent symptom; derange ment. - of the stomach and liver, heart trouble, kidney disease, lung trouble, eye strain or 111 Attlng glasses all produce head aches, and If we could alwaya locate the organ which la at fault the cure of ob stinate headaches would be a much simpler matter. However, for the form of headache called frontal headache, pain back of the eyea and in forehead, the causa la now known to be catarrh of the head and throat; when the hcadaahe la located In back of head and neck It Is often caused from catarrh of tha ,,itomch or liver. . . At any rat catarrh Is the most commoa . cause of such headaches and the cur of the catarrh causes a prompt disappearance of the headache. There Is at preaent no treatment for catarrh so convenient and effective aa ' Smart's Catarrh Tablets, a new Internal remedy In tablet form, composed of antl septlcs Ilk red gum blood root which act upon the blood and cauae the elimination of the catarrhal .poison from the system through tba natural channela. I Mlaa Cpra Alnaley, a prominent school teacher In one of our normal schools. speaks of her experience with catarrhal headaches and eulogize Stuart' Catarrh Tablet aa a cur for them. She Bay:, "I suffered daily from aever frontal headache and pain in and back of the eyes, at times so Intensely aa to Incapacitate ma in my daily duties. I had Buffered from catarrh more or less for years, but never thought it was th caus of my headaches, but finally became convinced that auch waa the case becausa the headaches were alwaya worse whenever I had m cold or fresh attack of catarrh. ' "fltuart'a Catarrh Tableta were highly recommended to me a a safe and pleaaant catarrh cure, and after using a few 60-cent boxes, which I procured from my druggist's, I was surprised and delighted to Had that both th catarrh and headaches had gone for good." i . . v Stuart Catarrh Tableta are aold by drua glst at la cent per package, under the gaarante. of th proprietor that they con tain abaolutely no cocaine (found In ao many catarrh cures), n opium (so common in - cheap cough cures), nor any harmful drug.

Some men will be kept at work on street cross ings, manholes, etc., but the bulk of thu worH on the streets has be"en done. Inquiry at the city engineer' office shows that from August 1 to November 25 the city road machine rounded up nineteen and one half mllea of dirt roads. The total cost of this work wss $980.40. This average about $50 a mile. In connection with this work a large number of holes in streets were filled. A great deal of credit is due Mayor Koutiky and City Engineer Beal for the work done, as both visited the work and made an Inspection each day. The street and alley committee must come In for a share of commendation, aa the recommen dations of this committee were only made after an inspection. "The unpaved streets," said a member of the council last night, "are In better shspe today than they ever have been at this time of the year. The road machine has done more work at less cost than ever before. The machine has more than patd for Itself this fall. The management ha been good and every portion of the city has been taken car of." Now that the road machine has been sent to the tool house for the winter, the street force will repair walks, lay crosswalka when the weather permits and keep the crossings In the business portion of the city clean.

It was expected that Mr. Carnegie ould answer promptly, but the members of the board think that his recent illness may have delayed matters. As Mr. Carneglo has sailed for New York, it Is thought there will be some recognition of the letters sent by the local library board shortly after his arrival in this country. Workmen Elect Officers.
