JJENNEtL-SOULE CO., Syracuse, N. V.
All grooara,
when they put two tvllneagen on the
alntul to detail an alleged plot to break
the Rtrlke In September last) by bribing
officers of mine workera' locals,
The first of the two witnesses was
John Early, of Dunmore, nn employe
of the Pennsylvania. Coal company, and
president of the Gypsy Orovo local.
The other was P. F. O'Horo, piesldcnt
of No, 5 locnl, of Duntnore.
Made an Appointment.
Kaily snore thnt on September 23, a
neighbor and fellow-miner, John Mur
phy, told him that Michael Grimes, an
ex-mine foreman and political worker,
wanted lt see- him at the Valley house,
about doing some political work for
Congressman willltun Connell.
11a rly went at once to see Grimes,
and after some little tulk..ibout poli
tic, Grimes opened up tiie subject of
strike by asking if ho din not think the
men were wuveiing a little. Eatly ad
mitted he thought they were weaken
ing a little.
"A brenk Is coming," Gi lines Is al
leged to have said. "Why can't wo
have something out of ll."
Then, uccotdlng to llaily's statement,
Gt lines outlined a plan wheicby they
might pioflt by anticipating the
"bieak." It wa, In effect, that ten
men fiom the live dlffeient locals In
Dunmoip should be btlbed to dtnft and
Introduce lpsolutlons dcclnilng that It
would bp better to cull off the stilke
thnn have It bienk up, and that It was
time then to call It off.
It toultl be argued, Gi lines is alleged
to have explained, that If the stilke
btokc up the union would be wrecked;
If it was called off, the union would be
saved for another fight at a moie pro
pitious time.
IJnrly testified that he pietended to
agiee to the plot to diavv Gi lines on,
and inijulied what theie was In It.
Grimes, the witness avetied, told hlin
he vynild get $2,n00 and expenses, and
any Job under any coal company he
might select, lip would also give $100
for each of the ten men that might be
selected to get the i evolutions beloie
the locals and an etia $100 for the
one of the ten wlip would be picked
upon as a sort of flist lieutenant.
1'. J' O'lloto, piesldcnt of Xo. 5 local
of the United Mine Woiken, in Dun
nioi e, was picked upon as the flist lieu
tenant, and Haily ugiced to bring him
down the next day. As soon as the In
tel view was concluded, 1'atly, s0 ho
tells, hastened to Dlstilct Piesldcnt
Xicholls' headqnarteis and laid baie
the plot. He was advised to keep up
his pietenslons and, if possible, tiap
Grimes into disclosing whom he leptc
sented. Went to See Gilnies.
The next day Kaily took O'llaia to
see Gilme?, and the latter enlisted
O'Haia's set vices
"I'm just as good a union man as
either of you," Grimes is alleged to
have said, "but theie Is no leaton why
we shouldn't make something out of
this. Theie Is a. man named Howell,
over on the West Side, getting the
Welsh mlneis to go back. We don't
want that the Iilsh shall be osti adzed
by the companies, do we?
"You know, Padd)," dimes, It is
claimed, went on to say, addiesslng
O'Hara, "theie ought to be some Iilsli
in bosses' positions. You know we got
mine foi email's ceitlflcates befoie foi
men that couldn't pass the examina
tion, and I gues-s jou'll believe me, we
can get them again."
Eatly swore fuithei that Giinifs told
him that ministeih ovei in West Scian
lon vveie w oi king to get the men to
bleak the stlike, "but," he Is said to
ha'vp added, "they aie not getting as
much out of it as we aie "
The details of how the scheme was to
be vvoiked was then discussed, accoid
ing to Kaily. and after he had stcuied
ii ptomlse of $J00 apiece loi thli ty men
who would woik to get the resolutions
passed, he and O'llui i lett Gi lines and
lepoited to mine woikei.V heuilquai
tet. DKtiict Piesldcnt Xicholls put a
card in the papei.s warning the stiik
eis against Gi lines. This, Kaily said,
closed "the incident, although Gilnies
wanted him to come to see hlni aftei
n.inls. AVhen the witness got tluough with
his stoiy. Mi. Dai low tinned to the
opeiatcns' attoine)s and said
"You iiwj ci oss-examine him, gentle
men "
Theit- wras a silence of half a minute.
Judge Oiay asked. "Aie theie any
questions.'"
Not Bepiesented.
With the most bliind expies-sion of
countenance imaginable, Mr. Toi un
hesitatingly aioso and, looking atound
slowly, innulilngly remaiked, after a
pause: "I don't think Mi. Cit lines Is
lemesentpd heie."
Tiie ioice and significance of Mr.
Toue)'s happy saving In ought u
heaity laugh Horn all the heaieis.
Commissioner ri.uk halted the wit
ness as ho was leaving the bland to in
qulie Into the woiklngs of the check
weighman plan eIsling at this c-ollleiy.
The witness said it was veiy satisfac
toiy and that the miners have no com
plaint to make. He added that since
the udoptjon of this system in 1S09, the
mlneis ate being credited with con
sldeiahly moie io.il than they weie be
foie. On being cioss-exaniined by Ma
jor Wau en, the witness admitted that
tho cheek-uelghman is given eveiy op
poitunlty to see that the coal i.s piop
eily weighed by the company's weigh
man, and that theie Is a notice posted
at the mine that any miner can examine
and test the scales.
City .SupeiiiUeiiiient of Schools
George W. Phillips, County Hitpeiln
tendent of Schools, j. c. Talor and
Piof. M. V, Cummlngs, ptlnclpal of the
Olyphant schools, gave testimony In the
inoinlng legaidlng the ability o mlneis
to send their childien to school.
Dr. Phillips gave Inteiestlng and ex
tensive data legarcllng this mattei, He
showed that only 10 per cent of the 1,
001 pupils In the high school aie chil
dien of mine woikeis, and that the la
tlo decreases constantly fiom the tltst
ear on.
Seventy-five per cent of mlneis' chil
dien he said leme school before their
twelfth year. The night schools, with
an attendance of 2,037, aio attended al
most exclusively by mlneis' children.
Major Wau en on cioss-exnmluatlou,
got the witness to admit that It Is
largely the fault of the children not
wanting to go to school that so many
of them !eue school for woik,
Was a Miue Wotker,
Attorney Reynolds developed the fact
that Dr, Phillips' father was a mine
wotker, and that lie himself Is a gi act
uate of Lafayette; that he lias a hi oth
er who Is tteasuter of a ti list company
and two olhers In business. Mr, Hey
nolda asked if it was not true that a

lawyers, newspapermen, school teach

of men who aie or weie miners. He
also bi ought It out that Sciantou

that free text books are distributed;
also that the taxes on leal estate paid

The People's Medicine.
It is possible by- plausible advertisements, set forth in nn attraotivestyle, to temporarily
arrest the attention of a certain number of readers and induce them to purchase a particular arti
cle. But it is a more difficult matter to ensure their continued patronage. Unless the advertised
article proves to be all that is claimed for it, not only do the purchasers discontinue its use, but
warn others against it as a thing to be avoided. Should it be, however, of genuine value, those
who make trial of it naturally become habitual users and advocates, their advocacy being the most
effective and absolutely reliable advertisement possible. The present position and popularity of
BEEOHAM'S PILLS prove them to be preparation of high merit. Old friends show their appre
ciation of BEEOHAM'S PILLS continuing, year in year out, to rely solely on their remarkable
curative and tonic qualities. No other medicine is taken, and none is needed; and it is to the
steady recommendation of all who take them that the widespread fame of BEEOHAM'S PILLS is
due. As BEEOHAM'S PILLS have been tried for more than half a century, and are now recog
nised as an unsurpassable Family Medicine in all parts of the world, there is no need for you to
pause, or room for you to doubt. Others have long since put them to the severest test of time and
intelligence, and have given the unqualified verdict.
