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.

So i'c (meets oi Peach. 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.

Os 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.)
