lINERS REFUSE OFFER
Per Cent Offer Made By Oper
ators Is Turned Down,
D ION must be recognized first
present Mitchell Imum Another State
ment-Coal Diggers Are Firmly
Holding Out.
Xbe coal operators of the Wyoming,
and Lehigh Valley re*
gjons held an important meeting in
frilkesbarre, Monday afternoon, and
a fterward gave out a statement offer
ing the miners an increase of ten per
cent in wages and also to reduce the
cost of powder to the miners from
$2.75 to $1.50 per keg. The difference
between this rate and the old rate to
be taken into account in figuring the
ne t advance of ten per cent.
So far as can be learned, none of the
operators were in favor of recognizing
the union in any way. The strikers
gav that under no circumstances will
they accept the offer. They claim it
is uot as good an offer as the Reading
company made to its men.
So far as can be learned the union
is ignored and the net increase must
come out of the price of powder.
L. M. Farmer, chairman of the press
committee at United Mine Workers’
headquarters, said: “The men will
not return to work undar such condi
tions. It is not a fair offer,”
The operators will make no further
move until they hear from the men.
‘‘At United Mine Workers’ head
quarters this statement was given out:
“What we want is:
“1. A better enforcement of existing
mine laws.
“2. To obtain that which is fully
our own, i. e,, the value of labor act
ually performed and hitherto taken
from us.
“3. To obtain the right to purchase
our implements of labor at a fair mar
ket value and escape from the compul
ory rule which forces us to pay the
operators more than twice what the
same materials can be purchased for at
retail in the open market.
“4. To allow a readjustment of the
wage scale that will nearly conform to
tho normal conditions of the anthra
cite trade and establish as nearly as
practicable a uniform price for each
class of work in and around the
mines.”
The strikers say that until these
concessions are granted and the union
recognized they will not return to
work.
President Mitchell makes the fol
lowing statement to the miners of tho
Wyoming valley:
“To the Miuers of Wilkesbarre and ;
Vicinity: I look forward with pleasure !
to the great demonstration which will i
be given under the auspices of the |
mine workers of the Wyoming valley 1
ou Tuesday, October 2d. The mine
workers of the anthracite region have
by their law-abiding conduct won the
respect and admiration of all justice
loving citizens of the United States. I
feel assured that organized labor has
won a great victory and that in the
future there will be in the homes and
families of the miners a little more
happiness and sunshine instead of the
gloom and sadness too often finding a
dwelling place there.
“John Mitchell,
‘‘President U. M.W. of America.”
According to the official report of
General Superintendent R. C. Luther,
of the Reading Coal and Iron Co.’s
mines to President Harris at Philadel
phia but seven of the thirty-nine col
lieries operated by the company start
up Monday morning. This iutli-
c &tes that in spite of the offer of an ad
vance in wages of 10 per cent the com
pany was working five less mines
Monday than on Saturday.
Advices from Shenandoah state that
ihe notice posted Sunday by the Phila
delphia and Reading Coal and Iron
Company announcing an increase in
'ages of 10 per cent to all of its em-
P'Oycs was ignored by the striking
mine workers in that vicinity, and
none of them -went to the workings
Monday morning.

lb* i—oh trees in southeastern
ennsylvania are seriously attacked
tbia season by a scale insect that is
causing some alarm in the fear that
It might be the dreaded San Jose
scale. r lhe many- specimens sent to
the Experiment Station have all been
the Teach Lecanium. The Insects are
motionless hemispherical bodies of a
dark purple color, almost black
measuring one-eighth inch in diame-’
ter. They cluster upon the twigs and
smaller branches often crowded to
gether on the under side of the twigs.
In due course of time the eggs, which
are very numerous under the body of
each scale Insect, begin hatching and
the young insects, which are mere
brawn specks, move about by the
thousands over the twigs. These
minute bark lice walk up the twigs
waving their delicate antennae, in
search of more tender food on the new
growth. When they have found it
they insert their tiny beak, a sucking
proboscis and become fixed for life
feeding upon the Juices of the peach
tree. A few of them can do no appre
ciable injury to a tree, but when they
appear by the thousands as they do
this season serious damage is caused
by them, and remedial measure should
be adopted.
The most satisfactory remedy foi
these scale Insects Is kerosene emul
sion, applied with a spray pump. While
the young Insects are creeping about
and before their mature scale covering
Is developed, their destruction with
this Insecticide Is quite easy and sure
Not all the trees In an orchard will
be attacked and It Is necessary to treat
those only which are affected. The
orchardist should have a hand magni
fying glass to make frequent obser
vations to determine if the insect*
have been killed by the application
and if any have escaped with life
after two days a second application
should be made.—George C. Butz, in

are packed away in your insides and must be kept clean,
in order and doing business.
It's a long way, with many turns and pitfalls to catch
the refuse and clog the channel if not most carefully
cleaned out every day.
When this long canal is blockaded, look out for
trouble —furred tongue, bad breath, belching of gases,
yellow spots, pimples and boils, headaches, spitting up of
food after eating —an all-around disgusting nuisance.
Violent pill poisons or griping salts are danger
cus to use for cleaning out the bowels. They
force out the obstruction by causing violent
spasms of the bowels, but they leave the in
testines weak and even less able to keep up
regular movements than before, and make a
larger dose necessary next time.
Then you have the pill habit, which kills more people
than tne morphine and whiskey habits combined.
The only safe, gentle but certain bowel cleansers are
sweet, fragrant CASCARETS, because they don't force
out the foecal matter with violence, but act as a tonic on
the whole 30 feet of bowel wall, strengthen the muscles
and restore healthy, natural action. Buy and try them I
(Look out for imitations and substitutes or you can't get
results. Cascarets are never sold in bulk. Look for the
trade-mark, the long-tailed “C" on the box.) You will
find that in an entirely natural way your bowels will be
promptly and permanently
