While scoring conditions generally !n the coal lields and criticising many of the acts of the mine operators, in cluding alleged violation of State laws, the committee reports that no evidence was found of a conspiracy in restraint of trade to limit the output of the mines, nor conclusive proof of the ex- Istance of peonage. The strike was settled long before the committee completed its report, so no specific recommendations are made. The committee appeals, however, for arbitration in such situations. It de clares that these disturbances are na tion-wide in their importance; that the federal government is the only power competent to deal with them, and. after referring to the testimony of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who dis claimed responsibility for Colorado conditions, adds: "Absentee owners or directors by their absence from the scene of such disturbances cannot escape their moral responsibility for conditions in WOMAN'S BEAUTY NO SECRET It all lies in the care she bestows upon herself and in keeping at bay those dread ills peculiar to her sex. The flashing eye, the elastic step and the clear complexion never acom pany organic troubles. The dis tressed expression, lassitude, head aches and mental depression are only the tell-tale symptoms. Women so troubled should take Lydia E. Pink iiam's Vegetable Compound, that sim ple remedy made from roots and herbs, and restore their health to a normal condition. —Advertisement. A Fine Treatment For Catarrh EASY TO MAKE A.N O COSTS LITTLE If you suffer from Catarrh, head noises, sore throat, asthma, or Ca tarrhal deafness, here is a fine recipe that often gives relief after other treat ments have failed. Its effect In the worst cases is usual ly most striking and positive. The cor rect method of treating Catarrh we be lieve is to employ a remedy that will quickly drive the catarrhal poisons from the system and at the same time by tonic action increase the vitality, which is always lowered by this in sidious disease. To do this, we be lieve the following formula to be really the best prescription, as it acts quickly, costs little and can be easily prepared at home. From your Druggist obtain one ounce of Parmlnt (Double Strength, about 7»c worth, take this home and add to it one-quarter of a pint of hot water and four ounces of granulated sugar, stir until dissolved. Take one tablespoon ful four times a day. The first dose should begin to re lieve the most miserable headache, dullness, sneezing, sore throat, running of the nose, catarrhal discharges, head noises and other loathsome symptoms that always accompany this disgusting disease. I.oss of smell, defective hearing and mucus dropping in the back of the throat are other symptoms that show the presence of catarrh and which may be overcome by the use of this simple treatment. Every person who has Catarrh in any form should give this prescription a trial.

Militia Aids Operators "It seemed the militia was on the side of the operators in this contro versy," says the report after reciting the action of the Governor in calling I out the Sate troops, "and the evidence j seems conclusively to prove such to ! have been the case. The sooner men ' armed in the service of the Stafe learn ' that the men with whom they may deal may be poor and ignorant and even violators of the law. but are still human, the better it will be for all concerned. • • "The recruiting of mine guards as members of the militia, in our judg ment, was a mistake, since intense ani • mosity had existed for some time be tween the mine guards and the min ers and it was difficult or even Im ' possible for the miners to feel that j these men were neutral conservators 'of the peace. Some of the militiamen seized the opportunity, while clothed with the authority of the State, to en ! gage In various lawless acts • • *. | "On other instances the acts were of 'an immoral kind and of such a nature ! as to be unlit for publication in this report." Clia>e Denounced ; The committee denounces John AI. j Chase, adjutant general of the militia i of the State, for his refusal to testify except upon condition that he would ' not be questioned by representatives •of the miners and declares that he | "was over-bearing to all who came la I contact with him." Reviewing the testimony of many I witnesses, the report says from the I time the strike whs called until the ) federal troops were sent into the Held ! by the President of the United States, j there was a series of battles which seemed to be tierce while they lasted I and a number of people were killed i and wounded on both sides. It eon- I demns as inexcusable both the attack I on Berwlnd camp by men alleged to 1 have been strikers as well as the as sault upon Forbes tent colony by armed guards using a machine gun. "The private guard system may be thought necessary," the committee here comments, "but wherever it exists sooner or later trouble will occur." Testimony of present and former county officials is quoted to show ef ' forts of mine operators to control elee j tions in Los Animas and, Huerfano ! counties and the committee remarks that the manner of selecting juries in ! those counties, where, according to ' witnesses in one case at least, seven ! out of twelve jurors were deputy sheriff's, "appears to be against the provisions of the law." The committee criticises the State authorities for failing to prevent the sale of firearms to the contending I forces. ! The committee declares that John . D. Rockefeller. Jr.. did nothing to im prove the condition of the employes ; of the company in which he is a stock holder and director. \ "Mr. Rockefeller," says the report, "a large stockholder of the most pow erful company In the State, has done a great deal for the uplift of people in other parts of the country and in for eign lands, spending millions of dollars in this work, yet he has not endeavor ed to Improve the condition of the more than 6,000 employes In the com pany with which he is connected, and has not visited the State for more than ten years. ' "Air. Rockefeller is a long-distance j director, not having attended a ineet i ing of the stockholders or directors of ; the company in ten years, i "Many of the miners, it is true, make i good wages, yet the scale of prices is not as high in Colorado as it is in the adjoining State of Wyoming. • • *. "Air. Rockefeller before the com ' mlttee in Washington said he would ■ not agree to arbitrate for the reason that he was fighting for a great prin , ciple and would sacrifice all his prop j erty for the principle of every man to be free to work for whom he pleased and on such terms as best suits the worker. Air. Rockefeller, speaking as a director of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, not having attended a meeting of the stockholders or direc tors in ten years, uttering this senti ment of liberty for the working people |of his company and of the whole • country, should remember that for forty years there has been the fierc est struggle among the workers in the i mines of Colorado. He may win a strike by starvation under the false banner of liberty for the working man, ; but we do not believe he can maintain peace undsr such conditions as exist ia i that State. j "Mr. Rockefeller was not a good judge of conditions In Colorado and | knew nothing about them." j Alinorlty reports were submitted by j two members of the subcommittee, j Representatives Byrnes, of South Caro- I Una, Democrat, and Austin, of Tenn essee, Republican.

Penrose Election Probe Is Dropped by Senate Washington, March 2. —There will be no investigation by this Congress into the charges of Representative A.

Action on the Norris resolution, providing for an inquiry into the elec tion in Pennsylvania and in the pri mary In Illinois, was indefinitely post poned to-day by the committee on contingent expenses. The advice of Senator Williams, Democrat, the chairman, and Senator, Refcd, of Missouri, another Democrat, led the committee to refi|se to consider an appropriation for the expenses of such an Inquiry.

When Mrs. Doyle at her home was Informed of the death of her husband she rushed into the yard and tried »o kill herself by driving her head against a fence. She was overpowered, car ried to her room and kept under guard throughout the night. RHEUMATISM A MYSTERY Some diseases give immunity from another attack but rheumatism works just the other way. Every attack of rheumatism invijes another. Worse than that It reduces the body's power so that each attack is worse than the one before. If any disease needs curing early It is rheumatism, but there is almost no disease which physicians find more dilficult to treat successfully. When n medicine does help rheumatism no body knows how or why it does it. All authorities agree that the blood becomes thin with alarming rapidity as rheumatism develops. Maintaining the quality of the blood therefore Is a reasonable way of preventing and combating rheumatism. That it works out ill fact is shown by the beneficial results In the treatment of rheuma tism, acute, muscular and articular, with the blood tonic, Dr. Williams' Pink Hills. That hundreds who take Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills for their rheumatism get well is a fact beyond dispute. That the rheumatism does not return as long as the blood is kept rich and red is equally true.

Nothing is said regarding the Cum berland Valley llailroad bridge which is a part of the iiiTV>rovements started during tkc past year except in a gen eral way. This work, however, is In cluded in the improvements which will be completed this year, as the report says "new freight station and other improvements at Harrisburg." Future Docks ltriglit Confidence in the business future of the railroads and the country is ex pressed by President Kca. This con fidence is based on the victory of the railroads in the, 5 per cent, freight rate case, which he interprets as an evidence that capital invested In rail roads will be protected, and he urges that larger powers be given to the Interstate Commerce Commission in furtherance of such protection. Great significance attaches to this hopeful expression since it accom panies the poorest annual earnings re port made by the Pennsylvania Rail road in many years. The net profits of the company, despite the largest gross business, with the solo exception of 1913, In the company's history, were at the lowest level since 1908. Xet income applicable to dividends was equal to only 6.83 per cent, on the capital stock of nearly $500,000,000, compared with 8.39 per cent, in the previous year. The gross earnings, swelled somewhat by inclusion of revenues from the Northern Central Railway for the last half year, the lease of that property having become effective July I, 1914, were slßl.- 184,822. a decrease of $10,316,667 from 1913. Referring to the Interstate Com merce Commission's decision. Presi dent Rea says that while the revenues obtained from the increases allowed, as well as the prospective revenue to be derived from sources indicated by the commission, will be helpful to the company, it is of almost equal impor tance to the owners of railroads and to persons dependent upon their suc cessful operation and service to know that their interests will be protected under the law and that it is the ex pressed intention of the commission to aid in the solution of the problem of constantly increasing, expenses and other burdens placed upon the rail roads. Enlarge Commission "The commission should be en larged and so organized," President Rea declares, "'as to be able to deal promptly with the important railroad questions which under the existing scheme of governmental regulation must be considered by it. The position of a commissioner should lie placed beyond political influence by a long tenure of office, and the compensation should be sufficient to attract and re tain men of the widest experience and greatest ability." The number of tons of freight moved on the five general divisions east of Pittsburgh. and Erie in 1914 was 135,296,035. a decrease of or 12.83 per cent.; the Every Street in Harrisburg Has Its Share of the Proof That Kid ney Sufferers Seek Backache?

President Kea says: "The railroads are still 'burdened with the needless expenditure required to comply with the so-called full crew laws, which aro actually extra crew laws. It Is esti mated that this law has added over $1,000,000 per annum to operating ex penses of the Pennsylvania system, east and west of Pittsburgh, and this enforced expenditure is a puro eco nomic waste, because it does not ill crease the safety or efficiency of op erations." In conclusion President Rca ex presses the hope that the necessary cash will be forthcoming and con templated improvements carried out. "DEVIL I'ES" IS FKAKICD BV POMCE IN CHICAGO Chicago.
