TiE STREET CAR strikers: cause Pleaded Before Mass Meeting in Academy of Music John H. De vine of the Central Labor Union Scoies Silliman and Asserts That Citizens' Alliance of Scran ton Aims at Workmen Striking; for Their Bights Talk by Treasurer of Amalgamated Street Car Men. Tliu cause of the Hlrlklnts' ciniiloyi'S of the Srranton Railway coiiiijuny was ploadprt last uiRht before n. gathnrimr of about 00 nifin in the Academy of Music. This was the flrat public nmel im? In Carhondalu under thti auspices of the trolley .strikers. The speakers were John II. Devlno of the clerk's as sociation of scranton, and foremost ainoncr Hie active niembers of the Cen tral Labor union of that city and I'.cIf cn Orr, of Detroit, treasurei' of the AnialKanialed association of street car employes:. The latter supplied the place of V. D. Million, president of the association, who is slrk In bed at Scran ton. Mr. Devine, who was the llrst speak er, took tlie stand that the labor unions stood for all that was Rood in Ameri can liberty and that they wore not war hiKr on corporations. Thelrwlshundtheir purpose were to work hand in hand, have a perfect understanding with cap ital, to bi'lnif about, u recognition of the liRhts of employers or employes and with this recognition gained to realize what is best in American citi zenship. Incidentally, Mr. Devine took up the cause of the street car men and the attitude of the Scranton Hallway company and the disposition of the people of Scranton. He took notice of the citizens' Alliance of Scranton which he asserted was orfianlzed to stop labor unions from striklnrt for their rights. Touching on the altitude of the peo ple of Scranton and (.'arbonilale, he declared that the fact that thov re frained from riding as they have was an indication that the street car men's cause was not without right. Mr. Devine pointed to the results of the Civic Federation meeting In New Vork city a few days ago which de clared for a recognition of rights of employes by employers. This is, he said, was what the trades unions aimed at. They were not warring on capital but they wanted capital, which was acknowledged by capitalists at this great meeting to have been arbitrary In the past, to recognize that labor had some rights. This recognition which Is being clamored for, is the keynote to the solution of, the differences that es trange these two parties, if men like these declared that capital has been ar bitrary If they have declared that for a recognition of the rights of labor, where, ho asked, is the Scranton com pany going to stand In Its organization. The Bnllway Company's Stand. It Is well known, ho continued, nil over America what the street car men of Scranton have done to Bot tle this strike. They tried arbitration, conciliation, every means, but the Scranton Hallway copipany refused to meet any committee; It rejected every means of settlement; in short H refused to do anything that would mole out justice to the men. The. Central Labor union of Soranlon had come out In favor of the strikers, but If It did not know their cause was a just one It would not for a moment take the stand In which it did. Not Organized for War. Thp traded unions know that strikes, to say tlie. least arc uuprolltahlc, bm u strike is to tlm labor unions what war is to' the nation. The. labor tiniona -ire. pot organized for war; they do not stand for strife; they aro for peace, for perpetual peace. It la often pru dent, for tlm most conservative conn Iryto go to war, that peaeo may be achieved, At the time of the Civil wai-our country, through sheer force of (ircuiuBtuncen, went to war that It nilgjit perpetuate. tlo prlnelptoH for WI1I9I1 It stood, It wiw practically Ihls that, caused (he. fipanlsli-Ainerlcan war So (ho labor organizations, un der jjlrosa of circumstances, engago In that;:war thut Is known as a sirlke, Tlje trade unionist has no apology to make for bis connection with his union, ' Ho is determined to march along Ibo lino of civilization, peace lily, If possible, but ho must do It. Tito trades unions are not organized to fight corporations, Uut to respoct them. The trades unionist, If he is In telllgent, la willing to marvh hand hi hand with tlio corporation. In this way only will our country hold lht place, which It hus among nations. There is no surer way to petputunlo the success of the corporation and the worklugman than to march Meadlly along, amicably settling the disputes that may arise, Carbondale MO. U Coming down to the refusal of the Scrantnn Hallway company to ar'il tratc or recognize Us employes, .Mr, Devlin; said hr was sorry to say that lllni'rt M'nl'n mii'tint'iil Inlto u'tltrtt Wnttlll not deign this recognition; thai would inn admit labor has rights, mi intelli gent capitalist will deny that labor has right m-efiual with capital. Ihtt thore an' men, he Tellingly said, who have such dishonest purposes that, will not allow tlieni to nthnlt their wrong, even when they see It. Strictures on Citizens' Alliance. .Mr. Devlno approached lit" discus sion of the Citizens' alliance nf Scranton by declaring that the trades llnlnim tin Iwtl lint',. In rri, lu.lllnd clnSPll doors. They do not refuse admission to the capitalist; they ask nun to rii-tttm UrlwMlir I limit tl Mil lluffitl 1 1 t hf'il' .wnn. unions ni-.jii ', -" - discussions. At the greatest labor or ganization in lite universe, at its greatest convention In Sernnton last week, one did not have a secret pass word to be admitted; one did not have to have a limbless man vouch for lilm. Vim ciinlil use vonr own Indg- ment as to whether what was being discussed was right or wrong. Any thing that was narrow or un-American was put where It belonged, not on I'.o table, but under I ho table. In conclusion, Mr. Devine u.-ked the worklngmen to weigh well the atti tude of the Scranton Hallway com pany, particularly Its refusal to re ceive ns iii'liltrntors such fah'-mlndd men us Mishap Ilobuu and riesldent .luilge Kdwimls. The unions .vere not lighting the Citizens' alliance, which he understood was organized for the purpose of suppressing strikes, under taken to get the justice which the wniklmrniiin nslceil lor. but. W.IS denied him. Notwithstanding this alliance of business men, the labor union would march on In their righteous course, to receive what was due thelit. Mr. Orr spoke briolly. lie arraigned General Manager Silliman for his de meanor since the strike, and he re lated the history of the organization of street railway employes, inciden tally he declared that !!) out or ion strikes were caused by employers. ' President P. T. Shea, of the strikers' executive committee, was present on the stage. THE NEW FOUNDRY. An Addition Being Built for Machinery Heavy Work to Be Commenced Next Some Orders Filled This Week. The new foundry of the Carboudale Metal works has been a most encour aging start, and already it finds the need of more room. This week work was commenced on an addition to the foundry, a small building which will accommodate several pieces of ma chinery, tumbling-boxes and other ap pliances used 10 clean castings. It was believed that there would lie room enough on the foundry lloor for tills machinery, but In arranging matters the space allotted for these appliances was demanded for other purposes. The core oven and the traveling crane will be ready for use in a few days, not more titan a week. The oven will b? one of the most approved type. Hand ling the cores by men will be dispensed with. -Machinery will do the work, it steel ear conveying them to and from the oven. The arrangement of the door of the oven will permit of cores being removed and put In to bake without the cold air entering, or change the de gree of heat. The traveling crane will be in place next week, a fact that will greatly facilitate the work at the foundry and increase the output. No heavy work has been attempted yet, but will be next week, when presses weighing a. ton and 11 ton and a half apiece will he moulded. This week a lot of small castings were turned out. Among them were parts of presses for making para fine wax. These are for use in the big factory of Proctor & Gamble, at Cin cinnati, Ohio, the milkers of the famous Ivory soap. The distribution of the foundry's pro ducts throughout the Villon will be come quite a factor in making Carbon dale known. The Carboudale Machine company 1ms made Carboudale known In remote parts of the globe, by ship ping lis machines around the horizon. Tito pity Is that there Is not more In terest and effort In this direction, and that energies are not directed by Car boudale business men to invito and In duce industries to locate In this city. There is no reason why Carboudale should not be teeming with Industrial activity. The success of the ( 'arbonilale .Ma chine company, the Hendricks company and the promised success of the Car boudale Metal works ought surely to bo an Incentive to Increased cITorts on the part of the business community to land Industries which are now and then seeking better locations. M'lie prospects are that the now foundry will be a very big factor In this community before an other year. Tlie policy of the company will bo. to gradually and constantly enlarge the plant, to branch out In the making of products, until the Invest ment is double what It Is today. This, at least, Is the purpose of the company, and the wish of the community Is that it will be reallr.ed, It the wish he no more than a selfish one, St. Paul's Lutheran Church.

The effects of Saturday night's storm are being sorely fell by tlie farmers hereabouts. The roads are passable In some places, while In other places it would mean damage and loss to at tempt to drive to town. This means that not one-half the farmers who visit Oarbomlale weekly aro coming to the city with their produce. The main road to Clifford cannot be used at till, owing to the bridge over Whipple creek. Just below the Itriggs fchool house, being damaged. In the meantime, the farmers who come from Clltford have to drive around Dundaff way, or cut through the fields. The roadway at "Joe" Scheck's lists been repaired, though it Is not more than passable. The roads to Susquehanna county are In a wretched condition and no farmers are arriving from that sec tion.

Her linir caught in tlm ueu niui Bwtuiy wouiiu nuout tuu Blunting, nor ones wero echoed hy'lho screams of her frightened mill-mates. Then the machinery wnii stopped and tho terrified ami injured woman was released. " It was carelessness," paid tho foreman to a reporter, "pure carelessness." IJut the doctor said it was not carelessness hut nervousness. It was a caso of a woman working when situ was not lit to work, her nerves tjuiveritig to the shock and jar of the machinery, her hrain dascdhy the struggle with suffering. Men so seldom suffer with nervousness that they have small sympathy for a nervous woman, Tliey look upon nervous rttacks as just a woman's notion, nnd often as only an excuse for ill-humor. Tho very fact that nervousness afllicts women, ehieily, points to its cause as being related to the female organism. And the facts prove that, disease of the delicate womanly organism is the most fruitful cause of the nervoHsim-sn from which so many women suffer. Uterine and ovarian diseases, unhealthy drains, inflammation, ulceration and female weakness 5 such womanly diseases in one form or another are in general responsible for the nervousness of women. The. only way to cure this nervousness is to cure the diseases that cause it. There arc powders and potions, so-called "nervines," which are offered as a remedy for nervousness. They may relieve, hut they cannot cure. Even tho relief they give is dangerous, because it is pro duced by stimulants or nerve-numbing narcotics. Sonic men aro said to "drown their troubles in liquor." Tlm liquor docs not lighten their load of trouble by one iota. It simply stupefies thcra until tho dull brain is rendered for a time insensible to cares and worries. Tho use of stimulants or narcotics by nervous women has the same result as the ur,o of alcohol by men. It only dulls and deadens tho nerves for a time. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures nervousness by curing tho womauly diseases which cause it. It is a true tonic and nervine, because it nourishes tho nerves and strengthens tho body. There is no alcohol in "Favorite I Prescription," and it is entirely free from opium, cocaine and all other narcotics. Weak, nervous, overworked, run down women will find new health and strength from the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. " It affords me great pleasure to bo able to say a few words in regard to the merits of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and I113 'Golden Medical Discovery, " writes Sirs. Flora Am, of Dallas, Jacknoa Co., Mo. " I was tempted to try these medicines after seeing the effect upon uiy mother. At an early age of married life I was greatly bothered with painful periods, al;o a troublesome drain vhich rendered inc very weak and nufit for work of any kiud. I became so thin there was noth ing left of rae but 8kiu and bone. Mv husband became alarmed nnd bottle of ' Favorite Prescription.' After he saw the wonderful effects of that one he got me two more, and after I had used thocc up there was no more pain, and 1 began to gain in flesh very rapidly. When I was out driving with inv mother the horse took frurht and raa awav. 3Iv mother trot badlv hurt. Later on liinvl.rie.ut cr.t in mi r.i,r. died. After her death was so ttenvits I sometimes thought I could not livs from one dr. v until the next ,- would get so faint I thought I would die. I had awful paitui lu ay back aud head;' wan dizzy all the time; could not sleep at night, and the bast noise wouli almost scare me to death. Our doctor tried to cure me but tailed. So one day I sat down and wrote to Dr. Pierce, stating my case ns clearly as I could. I received a prompt rcplv from him, and I bottcht three bottles of 'Favorite Prescription,' three of 'Golden Medical Discovery, ' and one bottle ofDr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. You maybe sure after I took that I began to feef like a new person. I began to eat once more, and now, I cannot say positively but I believe, I weigh twice as much as I did then, and can do all of my work. I thittk I owe all praise to Dr. Pierce and his wonderful curative medicines." What Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription did for Mrs. Arn, it has done for thousands of other women. From weak women, reduced in flesh until they were only "skin and bone," it has changed them to strong women, whose gain in healthy flesh speaks for the soundness of their cure and their restoration to perfect health. Sometimes a cynical per son will say a woman's ailments arc just imaginary. There's nothing imaginary about the loss of flesh which so often accompanies nervousness and womanly diseases. " Isror is there anything imaginary about tho cures effected by "Favorite Prescription," cures that can be figured up in ounces and pounds. "In the fall of lSo7, I was troubled with nervousness, headache, heart trouble aud female weak ness," writes Miss Blanche JI. Bracey, of Sala, Oswego County, N. V. " Last summer I wrote you aud yon advised rue to try your ' Favorite Prescription and ' Golden Medical Discovery.' I did so, and "I began to improve rapidly. Continued taking the medicine, half-a-dozen each of 'Favotile Prescription and 'Golden Medical Discovery,' for the space of four or five months, aud in less than a year had regained my former health. You have my heartfelt thanks for what your remedies have done for me. I am in excellent health now, but am still using your ' I'leasaut Pellets.
