MINERS WANT
CONFERENCE
Anthracite Operators to Be
Invited by the Men.
United Mine Workers Ask
That a Fixed Wage Basis
Be Arranged for the En
tire Region.
In the national convention of the
United Mine Workers, at Indianapolis,
two resolutions have been practically
agreed to by the entire scale committee,
anthracite and bituminous. One of
them makes it obligatory upon the na
tional officers of the organization to in
vite the anthracite operators Into a con
ference early in March, and the other
alms at the establishment of a fixed
wage basis for the entire region, and
particularly for the Wyoming and
Lackawanna valleys.
The action of the convention in ex
tending this invitation excited consider
able interest in the anthracite region.
It is said that should the conference be
held the miners will ask for a scale that
will increase their wages over that paid
now.
The leaders of the United Mine Work
ers, however, do not apprehend any
trouble. They say the operators now
recognize that the men are more strongly
organized than ever and that the big
coal companies would be the losers in
case of a lockout.
It is also pointed out that the com
panies did not lose anything by the last
strike. They gave the men a 10 per
cent increase in wages and then added
50 cents a ton to the price of coal.
A partial report from the tellers at
the national convention shows that there
will be some change in the national
executive board of this year, and that
one additional member will come from
the anthracite region. In the votes, so
far counted, Fred. Dilcber, of Scranton,
who took a prominent part in the an
thracite strike, is well down on the list.
Directors in Trouble.
The supreme court has granted a rule
upon John Hrogan and Thomas Mc-
Andrew to show cause why an attach
ment for contempt should not be issued
against them.
The matter involved is the election of
school directors in Wilkesbarre town
ship. The Luzerne quarter sessions court
had, in a contest, declared Brogan
and McAndrew elected, and from this
decision an appeal and certiorari was

vice of the rule and stay of proceedings

For a New County.
The Philadelphia Times this morning
says that "if plans do not miscarry and
enough votos can be mustered to do it,
the state of Pennsylvania will have a
new county, and it will be named after
United States Senator Matthew Stanley
Quay.
"The campaign, with this end in view,
is in the hands of Henry W. llaworth,
member of the state house of represen
tatives from Luzerne county. Mr.
llaworth is the chairman of the com
mittee on counties and townships, and
at present he is exceedingly busy pre
paring a bill, which he will introduce
shortly, creating the county of Quay out
of portions of Luzerne and Schuylkill
counties, and making Hazloton the
county seat.
"It will be remembered that during
the session of 1895 a bill identical in
character was passed creating a new
county to be called llazlo. It was ve
toed, however, by Governor Hastings,
but it is said Governor Stone will sign
Mr. Haworth's bill, if it is passed."

A well attended meeting of the drivers

held yesterday afternoon at Japan

Nervine was what cured him.
TO CURE THE GRIP.
Advice of a Famous Physician.
First and foremost, REST.
Take care of yourself. Your already
weakened nerves want rest, and must
have it. If the attack is severe, go to
bed and remain there. More fatalities
result from neglect of this precaution
than from any other cause.
Eat sparingly. Your digestive organs
are in no condition to take care of large
quantities of food.
Drink plenty of pure, cold water. It
allays the fever, stimulates tho kidneys
to action and opens up the pores of the
skin. Keep the bowels open with I)r.
Miles' Nerve and Liver Pills.
Take three doses of Dr. Miles' Nervine
per day, and if you cannot sleep take an
extra dose at bedtime. To further con
trol the fever, and to overcome the pe
culiar aches and pains of the grip, use
Dr. Miles Pain Pills. They act quickly
and effectually, and no bad effects result
from their use. These remedies have
been thoroughly tested more than a
million times, and their efficiency Is
thoroughly established. They never
fall to give relief.
Dr. Miles' Remedies can be found at
any drug store, and they are sold oil a
positive guarantee that ffrst bottle or
package benefits or monoy refunded.
