They Agree Upon Certain Measures Which Will Be Pushed in the Legisla ture. Senators and representatives from the anthracite coal region held a conference at Harrisburg yesterday with a commit tee representing the United Mine Work ers, for consideration of various propos ed bills affecting the interests of the miners. These measures will be intro duced In a few days. Their adoption is expected to remove many of the points of difference between miners and em p'oyers which have caused trouble for years. One provides that the mine inspectors shall be elected by the people for a period of three years and fixes their salary at SIOO a month and expenses. Another provides that all anthracite coal mining shall be paid for by weight, at 2.240 pounds to the ton, and fixes a penalty of from 8100 to 8500 and ninety days' imprisonment for violation. A bill was agreed upon which author izes tho placing of check-weighmen at each anthracite colliery, to be elected and maintained by the men. The weigbman shall be present at the weighing of all coal, shall weigh the coal If be chooses, and shall have the privilege of balancing the scales. If there is a dispute between the men's weighman and the company's weigbman It shall be referred to the mine inspector, whose decision shall be final, the loser |to pay the costs. Any company inter fering with the check-wcightuan shall be subject to a penalty of from SIOO to SSOO. Another bill agreed upon fixes a pen alty of SSOO or three months' imprison ment. for violation of tho semi-monthly pay law. The b'ill provides that no as signment of future wages to be paid semi-monthly shall be valid, and no agreement to rolieve the employ er from the provisions of tho act will be legal. T. J. Nicholls, of Nanticoke, president of District No. 1; J. J. Kearney, of Archbald, and Henry Collins, of Carbon dale, members of the executive commit tee of District No. 1; Adam Pulaski, of Mt. Carmel, president, and George Ilart lein, secretary, of District No. 9, repre sented the United Mine Workers in the conference. Representative Garner's resolution de manding tho removal of James E. Rod- ■ erick, chief of the bureau of mines and mining, because of his alleged declara tion that "the miners' hands are against: every man and every man's hands are against them," was the occasion of a meeting of the house of representatives committee on mines and mining. Representative Haworth announced that Mr. Roderick was ill, and suggest ed the appointment of a committee to j confer with him as to whether be had , anything to say for himself. This was agreed to, and Messrs. Paul, of Philadel-! phia; Hartman, of Luzerne, and Ilaag, of Schuylkill, were appointed. The committee found Roderick in his room at the Lochlel hotel, suffering with symptoms of pneumonia. He said he was too ill to discuss the matter, but promised the committee that as soon as he is able he will furnish a sworn denial of Garner's statement. A powerful engine cannot be run with a weak boiler, and we can't keep up the strain of an active life with a weak stomach; neither can we stop the human j machine to make repairs. If tbastom-j ach cannot digest enough food to keep the body strong, such u preparation as Kodol Dyspepsia Cure should be used. It digests what you eat and it simply j can't help but do you'good.

Miss Horan is suffering in tensely. It is feared that tho noodle will reach a vital spot. Recent experiments show that all classes of foods may he completely di gested by a preparation called Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, which absolutely digests what you eat. As it is the only com bi- a nation of all the natural digestants ever devised the demand for it has become enormous. It has never failed to cure the very worst cases of indigestion and it always gives instant relief. Grover's City drug store. The 800 employes of the Dolph Coal Company, at Wlnton, Lackawanna county, have struck because the com pany had failed to pay tho 10 per cent increase in wages to a number of Its miners.
