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

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. They contain simply the wholesome
antiseptic necessary to destroy and drive
from th (ystem th germs ef catarrhal
disease.

One statement showed that he made less
than $3 . for two weeks, but be could not

In the Cox mine the mine worker were
paid less than those employed by other
companies. He did not earn enough money
to permit him to journey to other placea
to look for a better place.
Mr. Mary Boland, the wife of a German

City Goaalp.
On account of the cold snap work on the
street prsctically ceased yeaterdsy. 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.

Weeks hsve elapsed since the members
of the South Omaha Llbarary board sent to
Sklbo castle certified copies of tho reports
regarding the purchase of a site and the
allowance made by the city for a city
library. 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.
