NANTICOKE STRIKD
MAY BE SETTLED
COMPANY REPRESENTATIVES
AND EMPLOYES CONFER.
The Genet al Impression Is Thnt the
Dfflculty Will Be Amicably Ad
justedAll Clnsses Have Suffered
from the Long Strike and an Early
Settlement Will Cause General Re
joicing. Wllkes-Barre, Nov. 23. Tho officials
of the StiMiueranna Coal company anil
a committee from their employes, who
lire now on strike, met In conference
today for the purpose of adjusting
their difficulties it possible. The con
ference lasted nil day and at 7 p. m.
adjournment was taken until 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning. Neither the offi
cials nor the members of the strikers'
committee would give out any Infor
mation as to what was done at the
meeting beyond the fart that the wngo
Hcalo was discussed. It Is the general
Impression, however, that an amicable
agreement has about Wen reached. It
is known that the strikers have made
concessions, but what concessions tho
company has made, if any, cannot be
learned.
When the wage scale Is completed at
the conference tomorrow the strikers'
committee will make a report to a
mass meeting of the miners. It Is ex
pected that the latter will notify any
agreement made by the committee. If
the long strike Is finally declared off It
will be the cause of great rejoicing
among the 12,000 people of Nantlcoke.
All classes have suffered by reason of
the strike. Some of the merchants who
have given the strikers extended credit
are crippled financially and many of
tho strikers' families are In actual
want.
The men went out on August 5. Their
principal grievance was the amount of
top coal that should be sent In cars to
the breaker. The company Insisted
thnt when tho car reached the breakai
it should have six Inches ct topping.
The miners were willing to give six
inches nt the breast where It wa
mined but did not want to be held
responsible for any shrinkage that
might occur before the car reaelfod th
surface. Several meetings were held
for the purpose of talking the matter
over, but no agreement could be
reached and the men finally struck.
RAILROAD RUMORS.
Agitation Over tho Now Road Build
ing Enterprise.
Special to The Scrnuton Tribune.
Honesdale, Nov. 20. For a year past
railroad building has been the princi
pal topic of conversation In Honesdale.
Now thesubject has broadened, Includ
ing the complication between tho Krle,
Erie and Wyoming Valley and the pro
oosed Delaware Valley and Kingston
allroads. The Injunction granted by
fudge Purdy restraining the Erie from
trespassing on the canal property nt
Laeknwaxen was continued at Milford,
on Tuesday, until Dec. 20, when the
hearing will bo before Judge Purdy In
Honesdale. Rumors nre still rife that
the Krle officials are perfecting a short
cut for their road, passing through
Honesdale. A number of surveyors
passed near Honesdale last week with
that supposed object In view. Tho
Krle and Krle nnd Wyoming both ap
pear to be after the business of Hones
dale. The opinion Is advanced by some
that when the Delaware and Hudson
canal censed to be used as a canal,
the land thus occupied would go back
to the original owners. During the
past summer there has been no water
in the canal. For the first summer
In the past seventy years, grass has
been growing In the bottom of the
cnnal.
The foundation walls for tho new
Delaware and Hudson station are near.
ly completed. Four teams with dirt
scrapers are rnnidly filling the open
ing surrounding tho foundation. The
filling and laying of track at both tho
Dlandln and Torry bridges over the
Lackawnxen is finished, but there Is
some delay In getting the Iron bridges,
which hinders the completion of that
part of the work. The work of filling,
laying track nnd grading nt the lower
end of tho basin continues.

A STRENGTHENED
VinolPromptly Overcomes
Weakness.
DEBILITY OFTEN PRECEDES
COMPLETE COLLAPSE.
We Want Every One to Know
How to Get Strong.
OUR VIN0L IS A STRENGTH
CREATOR.
Thcsaddestsightoncarthlsa broken
down man or woman.
We see such people every day right
hero In our city.
It la pitiful to see a man that should
bo in his prime dragging himself
through life dejected, dlscournged and
broken down, due to somo premature
wenknesa. It does not make any dif
ference whother this weakness is tho
result of dissipation, indiscreet living
or disease; it can be overcome.
Wo have known of many very serious
cases of debility quickly overcome by
Vlnol.
Vlnol is a scientific rebullder nnd
strength creator. It contains the active
curative principles of Cod-Liver Oil in
a highly concentrated form. The
benefit that cau be derived from the
use of these properties is so well known
that there is no need for us to enter
into that subject.
Wc could quote many instances where
Vinol has done good; ns an example,
here is one coming from Jane S. Fen
fron, a prominent member of tho W. C.
T. U., and a resident of Suncook, N. II.
She writes:
" I wus run ddwn, was in bed from
May to March. Was so nervous and
sickly that everyone thought I was in
a most precarious condition. My weight
was reduced to 120 pounds. I was ad
vised to take Vlnoi; which 1 did, and
am now very much better, nnd am able
to be about again. As a rebuilder and
a strength giver notling can equal it.
Vlnol Is a God-blessing to anybody."
Because Vinol is delicious, and
because it does contain these
much-sought-after medicinal
properties we endorse it, and we
unhesitatingly proclaim that It Is
better than any preparation of
cod-liver oil or tonic rebuilderwo
have ever had in our store.
