MINERS WANT
LEGISLATION
Their Interests at Harris
hurg Neglected.
Movement Is Under Way to
Send Solid Delegations of
Workingmen to the Next
Legislature.
Seldom, if ever, has a session of the
legislature received more attention from
the miners of Pennsylvania than tho
present one. Notwithstanding the fact
that the state is the greatest industrial
commonwealth in tho union, the num
ber of laboring merf holding seats in the
senate and house is so small that the
fow who are there are powerless to
shape legislation affecting the interests
of workingmen. This has been demon
strated so plainly in the recent past, in
the trouble experienced in having
passed acts which 140,000 mine employes
have asked for, that the miners have
learned that to obtain the legislation
they desire they must bo represented by
men chosen from their own ranks—by
people who are qualified by experience
to set forth the miners' claims for legis
lation in a manner which the public at
large will understand.
Instead of pleading and begging for
the passage of such legislation as they
feel they are entitled to, the mine work
ers of the state propose to place men In
the seats who will respond to their
wishes In all things which aro just and
fair.
With this end in view a movement is
now under way to induce suitable men
In every district lu the coal regions to
seek legislative nominations a year
hence. These candidates, it is propos
ed, shall he men whose honesty of pur
pose and sympathy with their fellow
workinen cannot be doubted, and with
the anthracite and bituminous regions
both represented by solid delegations
of men chosen from tho ranks of work
ers tho miners of the state can expect
to receive moro consideration at Harris
burg than has been accorded them for
years past.
Among the miners who have been ap
proached to accept the legislative nomi
nation In this district is Councilman
Peter G. Gallagher, of town. After re
peated solicitation on the part of his
friends and those who believe their in
terests In the legislature would receive
proper attention at the hands of such
iuoii as ho, Mr. Gallagher has finally
consented to become a candidate.
The mine employes of Pennsylvania
never fully realized bow weak they
are in controlling and directing legisla
tion until they presented their requests
at liarrisburg this year, and if their ex
perience at this sossioti counts for any
thing there will bo many new faces from
the coal fields in the next legislative
body of tho state.
Legislative Apportionment.
The liarrisburg correspondent of the
Wilkesbarre Record reports that tho
plan for the legislative apportionment
of Luzerne county, as agreed upon by
Representatives Coray, Drum, llartman,
Mahon and Haworth, was handed to

about Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, it would bo
used in nearly every household, as there
are few people who do not suffer from a
feeling of fullness after eating, belching,
flatulence, sour stomach, or water brash,
caused by indigestion or dyspepsia. A
preparation such as Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure, which, with no aid from the sto
mach, will digest your food, certainly
can't help but do you good. Drover's
