SILK STRIKE APPEARS TO BE
NEARINO END.
Meeting of Girls Employed by Har
vey Bros. Will Be Held This Morn
ing to Determine Whether to Re
turn to Work Proposition Made
by Joseph Harvey to Committee
Saturday Will Be Considered.
"Mother" Jones Says It Is Satis
factory Condition nt Other Mills.
From developments which have oc
cm red during the past few days, a
settlement of the silk mill strike, now
entering Into Its third month, seems
Imminent. As told In Sntui day's Trib
une, tin adjustment of dllllcultles took
place at Hatvey Ur others' Forest City
mill, and tho gltls will return lo wotk
theie this morning.
A tonfcienep wns held Saturday be
tween n committee of the stiikcis fiont
Harvey Hi others' South Washington
avenue mill. Superintendent Joseph
Hatvey atpl "Mother" Mary Jones, a
tlie result of which a special meeting
of the Hatvey local has been called for
litis morning In Carpenleis' hall. The
committee will report the lesults of
this confetencp, and a vote will be then
taken on accepting the ptoposnl and
i pluming to wotk.
Other meetings wete held between
etnployeis and pinployes, notably a
tonfetence betwppn the iciotz gills and
the mill authorities. The sttlkers from
tlie Simpson mill at Mlnnoka also met
with Ihelr employers', anil will today
leport to the oNectltlve committee,
"Mother" Jones said yesterday the
conference with Superintendent Hat
vey was emluetitl satisfactory, and
also expressed heiself us confident that
the tetum to work of tho gills at tlie
Harvey mill would lesult In a general
(cssatlon or hostilities and letllin to
wotk.
TKIi.MS DKCIDHD I'PON.
Tlie tetnis decided upon at Satur
day's meeting" wele satisfactory to
both p.utles. Supeilnteudent Hatvey
decl.ued ills willingness to settle till
minor' grievances and provide In eveiy
reasonable way for the comfort of his
employes. As a result of the llbetal
policy of tlie milt ownets, tlie slrlkeis,
not to be outdone, agreed to slightly
lessen the demands of their wage scale.
The stale finally adopted is n fair
medium between the oilglual vvnges
paid tlie glris and the terms stipulated
for hi tho scale diawn up by the ex
ecutive committee. It Is almost cer
tain that the proposal of Harvey
Hros. will be accepted at this morn
ing's meeting or the gliK and that
work will be resumed tomorrow, or at
least during the caily part or this
week.
Tlie conreience between the Klotz
gills' committee and the mill author
ities was held at the mill Saturday nr
teinonn, Hesldes the strikers' commit
tee there was pi event Supeilnteudent
Fi ledcr, or the Caibondnle mill, who is
iiKo secretaty or the company, and
Second Vice-President Hiltton. of tills
city.
The foimer yesterday declared to a
Tribune man Unit a settlement was
trow- In view, and that he expected the
girls would be back at wotk within a
comparatively shoit time. "Their de
mands," said he, "have noV dwindled
down to a mere demand for the te
moval of a certain forelady, who is ob
noxious to them. They liuve no good
teasons for their objections to her. and
it would be absurd for us to grant their
demands In this respect.
"We hnve expressed our willingness
to pay the same scale of wages In this
city as n't our Carbondale mill, and tlie
girls icnllzlng that tills Is between 1."
and 20 per cent, higher than that paid
at any mill In this region, seem to be
perfectly satisfied to return on these
teitus. I undei stand that the girls are
to soon hold a meeting and decide
whether or not they will lettnn to
work."
KLOTZ TO ItirriTRN.
Cleotge Klolz, who has been at the
Fredericksburg, Va mill during the
past seveial weeks. Is expected home
during the early pail of this week. Tlie
sttlkers fiorn Mulheiin& Itenard's Tay
lor mill held a meeting with the lit in
Friday, and were Informed that they
could ivtijtu to wotk only on the .same
terms as prevailed before the sit Ike.
Mr. Mulhciln stated yesterday that tho
ownets would stick it out for five years.
If necessary, rather than make any
such concessions as the sti liters de
mand. At a meeting or the Sauqunlt gltls,
held Satutdav, a wage scale was drawn
up, which will be presented to Super
intendent Davis. There was a hearing
before Alderman Howe Satuiday In
the cases against several of the Dun
moie and Petersburg strikers, charged
with dlsotdeily conduct. It was con
tinued until this nfteiuoon.

TWIN TROUBLES.
They Are Often Together These Days.
They Work Havoc All Over tho
Country and In Scranton.
Weak, nervous, the digestion out of
order that Is what alls a host of peo
ple. It conies about In this way: Fhst
from overwork or other causes, the
nerves are burdened beyond endurance,
nerve waste Is not replaced, ucrvo
force Is weakened, then the stomach
loses Its nerve-controlling power nnd
Indigestion follows, with falling
strength. When first Dr. A.W. Chase's
Nerve Pills en me to Scranton people
could hardly bo convinced that this
great medicine would remove these
troubles. Now It Is an accepted fact,
because of their cure of very stubborn
i'uses no other mcdlclns would Influ
ence. Mrs. J. L. Johnson, of No. "CO Notth
Main street, Scrnnton. r'a sn.s: "Dr.
A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills are excel
lent. I was so dizzy and nervous, and
the stomach digested Its food badly.
This condition Induced a feeling of de
bility nnd lassitude. Hearing of the
nerve pills at Matthews Hros.' tem
porary 'headquarters, corner Washing
ton and Lackawanna avenues, I got u
box, and the i-esult has certainly been
fine. They gave the stoniHch strength
to handle the food properly, the ner
vousness and dizziness disappeared
completely, and my general strength
and vigor returned. Consequently I am
Pleasel and triad to recommend the
medicine."
