LAST APPEAL TO OPERATORS
Clvlc
If Demands Are Refused and
rederatlon Falla to Effect Settle-
mtnt, 140,000 Miners Will Be Called
Out Enthusiasm In Convention.
Shamokin, Pa., March 25. Unless
the efforts ot the Civic Federation are
effectlre with the coal operators It la
more than likely that a repetition of
the struggle of 1900 will occnr la the
anthracite region. In that year 140,000
employee of ' the anthracite mines
were out on strike for sis weeks. The
convention yesterday ot Districts Nos.
1, 7 and 9, United Mine Workers of
America, which districts comprise the
entire anthracite field, made a pro
visional strike declaration, tearing the
date to be decided by the executive
board of the three districts. This was
practically the last oaiUl act "of the
delegates, and the convention ad
journed nine die at 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. The adoption of the reso
lution containing the ultimatum of
the mine workers was followed try a
scene of wild enthusiasm, and the
opera house rang with the acclama
tions of the delegates, who, with lusty
cheers, approved the work of the spe
cial resolution committee and ex
pressed their confidence in President
Mitchell
The convention from the first session
showed a disposition to insist on "an
adjustment of the mine workers'
grievances, but the delegates were
willing to relinquish the question of
recognition providing other more im
portant concessions were granted. This
fact is evidenced in the resolution
adopted yesterday, which states as the
chief demands: A shorter work day, a
mlmlmuin wage scale, a uniform In
crease in wages, and the weighing of
coal wherever practicable.
The resolution adopted waa the re
sult of a difference of opinion among
the delegates as to the methods to
be pursued in enforcing the mine
workers' demands. Resolutions hsd
been presented to the convention from
all of the districts, but none ot them
were satisfactory to the entire body
of delegates. It was then decided to
place the matter In the hands of
President Mitchell and the district
presidents and vice presidents. Be
fore completing the draft of the reso
lution, President Mitchell telegraphed
the presidents of the coal carrying
roads, making a last appeal for a con
ference. The telegram was as fol
lows: "By direction of miners' con
ventlon, I wire to ascertain If your
company will Join other anthracite
coal companies in conference with
committee representing anthracite
mine workers for purpose of discus
sing and adjusting grievances which
affect all companies and all employes
alike. Please answer." He received
several replies, one of which waa
from President Baer, of the Philadel
phla and Reading Iron and Coal com
pany, and all of which refused to meet
the representatives of the union. Oth
era made no response.
This resulted in the formulation of
the resolution presented yesterday,
and, according to President Mitchell,
it was adopted without a dissenting
vote. The resolution provides for the
appointment ot a committee by the
three district executive boards who
will carry the mine workers' demands
to the conciliation committee of the
Civic Federation with an appeal to
that organization for assistance.
Should the Civic Federation refuse to
act or should they fall In their ef
forts to effect a satisfactory adjust
ment prior to April 1, and If, after
that date negotiations are still pend
Ing, all anthracite mine workers ex
cept those necessary to keep the mines
in repair shall remain away from the
mines, strlpplngs, washeriej and
breakers on Tuesday's, Thursdays and
Saturdays of each week.
The district executive boards met
last night to select the fourteen dele
gates who under the provisions of the
resolution are to comprise the com
mittee. After the meeting President
Mitchell said the members had not
been named, but that men Itted for
the mission by their knowledge of the

This honored pastor in a recent letter to the Peruna Medlolne Co., of Columbus,
On says concerning their famous catarrh remedy, Peruna:
The Peruna Medietas Co., Columbus, O.:
Gentlemen: ! had hemorrhages ot the lungs tor a long time,
and all despaired ot me. I took Peruna and was cured, it gave me
strength and courage, and made healthy, pure blood. It Increased
my weight, gave me a healthy color, and I feel well. It Is the best
medicine In the world. If everyone kept Peruna la the house It
would save many from death every year."
Yours very truly,
REV. H. STUBENVOLL.
Thousands of people have catarrh who
would be surprised to know it, because
it has been called some other name than
eatarrh. The fact Is, catarrh is catarrh
wherever looated; and another fact
which is of equally groat Importance, Is
that 'Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located..- . .
Catarrh is an American disease. Fully
one-half of the people are afflicted more
or less with It in some form. Previous
to the dlsoovery of Peruna, catarrh waa
eonsldered well sigh lac or able. Since
the Introduction of Peruna to the medical
profession thousands of cases are cured
annually.
Mr.. W. D. Smith, a well-known grocer
of Port Huron, Mich., writes :
"By following your instruction and
taking Peruna and Manalln I am cored
of catarrh. I had eataxrh for twelve
years and quite a bad cough so I eonld
not sleep nights. Z do not have any
cough now, and If I feel anything In the
throat I take a swallow of Parana and I
am sixlght."-W. D. Smith.
