OPERATORS
NOT PRESENT
Employers Fail to Meet
Miners' Representatives.
Coal Companies and Indivi
dual Firms Ignore Joint
Conference Called to As
semble This Morning.
The joint conference of the represen
tatives of the anthracite mine employes
and their employers, called by the
United Mine Workers to meet today at
H&zlaton, was not held, the operators
failing to attend either in person or by
proxy.
The convention met as usual this
morning, and, as no one appeared to
represent the employers, the delegates
went into executive session.
The scale committee again reported,
but their demands did not meet the ap
proval of the convention and the matter
, was referred to the committee once more.
No further information of the busi
ness dene today was given out by the
press committee.
The convention, from appearances,
will coutinue in session until tomorrow.
YKBTKKDA Y's BKBMON.
At yesterday's secret session three
incidents of importance developed. To
I begin with. John Fa hey tendered his
resignation as a member of the national
board. The constitution of the union
forbids any man to hold two offices. Mr.
Faliey held the presidency of his district.
1 The second incident was far more in
dicative. The wage scale committee
reported soon after the convention was
called to order. Within a half hour
their entire report was thrown out as
impossibly radical. The only inference
to be drawn from this is the desire of
the majority to countenance nothing
that shall tend to prevent a peaceful
settlement.
As a further and stronger indication
of this desire, it is alleged that the mem
bers of the executive committee have
submitted the proposed scale to the
Philadelphia and Reading Company,
through an intermediary, to see if the
slight changes suggested would be satis
factory.
There is a possibility that the matter
may be referred to the executive board
for settlement, but there is a strong
probability that the convention itself
will make the decision.
A good deal of business was transact
ed yesterday. Numerous bills favoring
the miners, and now pending at Harris
burg, were indorsed, extra enthusiasm
being put into the protest against un
uniformed police at the scone of labor
troubles.
It was also resolved that each local
appoint a committee to examine checks
to ascertain whether the 10 per cent in
crease is being paid.
A petition was drawn and sent to Gov
ernor Stone and the Pardon Hoard to
authorize the release from jail of the
twelve men convicted of rioting at
Oneida and sentenced from six months
to four years' imprisonment, the peti
tion being based on the ground that the
law has been amply satisfied and that
the release of the prisoners will relieve
tho suffering of their families.

A DHiigeroiiK Thief
Is not one who steals a purse, for that is
trash, nor is it always a human beli.g
who seeks to steal wealth of other des
cription. The most daring and annoy
ing thieves are germs, parasites and
microbes, which rob us of that which is
of greater value than wealth. Medical
science in its recent progression in bac
teriological research, has discovered how
the human system is constantly robbed
of organic vitality by parasites. The
epidermis of the scalp is often attacked
and people are thereby deprived of a
good head of hair. The parasite can bo
destroyed by the antiseptic ingredients
in "Luxura," and the growth of hair re
vived by the invigorating properties of
"Luxura." Price SI.OO, delivered free

Taxing Widows' Properties,
Freeland, March 14, 1901.
Editor Tribune. —The tax collectors,
school board, members of council and
county commissioners are annually be
sieged by widowed property owners,
and their friends, political and other
wits, for the purpose of securing abate
ments or exonerations of taxe9 due upon
property owned by them. All manner
of reasons are given why these should
be grantod. and not a few applicants
have even claimed that widows are not
liable to pay those taxes. This is all a
mistake, for all property is liable to the
extent of its full market value whatever
that market may prove.
Hut why should widows evade taxes
on property? Aro not they better able
to pay a few dollars annual tax of a
dollar or less a month average than
their less fortunate sisters who have not
properties, but are compelled to rent
them, paying from 30 to 810 a month
which includes taxes, repairs and the
profits, often no small sum, of the own
ers? As well might some of our well
to-do widows ask to be excused except
on the ground of sympathy and poverty.
This subject furnishes food for thought
for our council, our school board, tax
collector and our widows, not to say the
county commissioners.
Why discriminate against the poor
widow paying rent who supports herself,
and family often, at the washboard and
other menial labor? Think it over, la
dies and gentlemen, and "Be Just Be
fore You Are Generous." Justice.
