President Mitchell and the Presidents of the Coal Companies Have Given Their Sides of Conditions The railroad presidents read in the newspapers of the visit of John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers, to New York, where he had a confer ence with Carroll I). Wright, Labor. Commissioner, who was delegated by President Roosevelt to investigate the strike. When It was learned that Mr. Mitchell had made such an impression on Mr. Wright that the latter had given out the statement that the leader of the strikers had told a straightforward Atory which had impressed him favorably the presidents of the coal carrying companies decided to issue the long-promised state ment In order to counteract any Impres sion which they thought might inlluenco President Roosevelt. Mr. Wright met the railroad presi dents last evening in the office of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company. The meeting was held by appointment. Among those preseht were W. E. Trues daln, president of the Delaware arid Lackawanna; (1. F. Baer, president of the Philadelphia and Reading, and Rob ert M. Oliphant, president of the Dela ware and Hudson Canal Company. After the conference, which lasted an hour, Mr. Wright said that it would not be necessary for him to go to tho mining districts, as the operators had given him ail the facts and figures that he needed. "I have now heard both sides," ho said, "and will have nothing more to do but to submit my report to President Roosevelt. My investigation is completed." The presidents of tho coal roads Im mediately affected by the strike of tho anthracite coal miners made public to day letters and telegrams which have passed between tho operators and Presi dent Mitchell and other representatives of the Uuitod Mine Workers. The operators say they haye heretofore hesi tated about making public this corres pondence. "The president of the United States," they add, "having re quested Mr. Wright, tho commissioner of labor, to investigate the strike, the president* of tho coal companies have given him such facts as he desired, in cluding this correspondence, and it is now given to tho public." The oponators preface tho correspond ence with a brief history of the union izing of tho anthracite miners after the establishment of the United Mine Workers, originally an organization of bituminous coal miners, and recite tho agreement to an advance of ten per cent in wages in 1901, following the strike of 1900; the abolishment of the sliding scale and finally the invitation of February 14, 1902, to the operators to a joint conference to form a wage scale for the ensuing yoar. Then the text of the letters and telegrams are introduced. John Mitchell remained iu New York all day and left on the evening train for Wilkesbarre. He held another con ference with Mr. Wright during tho day, and also conferred with the mein bors of the Civic Federation. "There is still no settlement," said Mr. Mitchell. "I wish I could say otherwise." Ralph Easley, secretary of tho Na tional Civic Federation, on being asked as to the progress of the anthracite coal strike, replied: "We have nothing fur ther to do with the matter, although we '|f You Could LoolT^ AJL intotlie future ntid see the condition to which your cough, if neglected, will bring you, you would seek relief at once —aud that naturally would be through Shiloh's Consumption 4 /-v Guaranteed to cure Con \ All 0 sumption, Bronchitis, Asthma, and all Lung Troubles.

Tosh, secretary. Kuckport, Pa., June 10,1W2. FREELAND, PA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11, 1902. are spoken of in connection with It. Since our overtures were rejected wo have withdrawn from all participation, and the matter is now in the hands of Carroll D. Wright. Indications are that the coal carrying companies are in fear of the outcome of this Investigation. If nothing is done toward bringing about a settlement it will surprise the people of the coal region. A report from White Ilavon this morning says: "There 19 much activity in railroad circles caused by orders be ing Issued to coal crews to report for duty and the passing of large trains down the main lines which gave cause for a rumor that the strike had been settled. A shortage at tidewater is likely the reason the railroad companies are moving the coal stored in yarls in the coal region." In this vicinity everything is quiet today. Pickets are stlil doing effective work along the roads loading to Drifton. The officials at the latter place were not in evidence this morning, the en counter of the Drifton mining engineer with the Italian women being sufficient to keep that overbearing individual at his homo, for which people in general are thankful.

ROUND THE REGION By a minecavein at Hughe9town, near Pittston yesterday property was damag ed to the extent of several thousand dollars. The disturbed area covers five acrts of territory. Several people had narrow escapes, being rescued from the uppor windows of their homes by means of ladders. It has not yet boen deter mined whether the cavein was due to the fact that pillars had been robbed in the mines or whether it was caused by the water which had accumulated since the strike. The Scranton Board of Control last evening received and accepted an offer from Mrs. William T. Smith of 850,000, with which she proposes that a suitable building for a manual training school be erected and equipped. The board will at once prepare for the construction of the new building. It was through Mrs. Smith's liberality that the children's ward of the Lackawanna hospital was constructed, her husband being a trus tee of that institution when ho died. E. L.

Some of them are perfectly round, while others of an oblong shape. The hen in question never produced regular siz ed eggs. Excellent progress is now being made on the tunnel of the Hazletoo and Wilkesbarre trolley company. Men are now building barbed wire fences all along both sides of the road, the object of which is to keep pedestrians off the track, as the third rail will bo hoavlly charged with electricity, and from this the cars will receive their voltage in stead of from tho overhead wire as is customary. An unknown man, about 40 years old and probably of foreign birth, was struck by an engino and instantly killed at Mauch Chunk. The remains will be sent to Lowrytown for interment. There was nothing on tho body that would ideutfy the man. Only a letter and circular from Van Kirk Sc Robhins. of Wilkesbarro, concerning their endless chain scheme wore the contents of his pockets.

Sentenced to the City Dump. From tho Wilkesbarro Record. An Interesting phase of the anthra cite strike was tho arrest and Incarcera tion in the station house of tho financial Napoleon, J. I'lerpont Morgan. The •arrest was mado late on Saturday night and the prisoner was lodged in the sta tion house ovor night. Yostorday morn ing, withetwenty-nlne other prisoners, ho was given a hearing on a charge of conspiracy to dofraud the anthracite miners and Inciting trouble.

In response to an order Iroin Chlel Jones one of the city wagons, with an officer and a couple of assistants, mado a tour of tbo town on Sunday night and removed all of the dummies hang ing from tho poles and wlros in offigy of various unfair workers. These were taken to the station house for tho night. On account of a dull evonlng at lioad quartera the men at the station house placed tho dummy prisoners In the cells. Tho dummy of magnate Morgan, which had boen at tho cornor of High and Parrisb streets for several days, was placed In a coil and on guard wore several breaker boys and miners. The others wore placed In the different cells.

TR I-WEE K LY If You Have Pain In Your Back Do Not Be Deceived--Yon Have Kidney Trouble, and You Do Not Need a Physician to Tell You So. Let us give you a piece of advice: Pain in the back Is an almost infallible sign of kidney disease; a surer sign is the condition of your urine. If you have a pain In the back then look to the condition of your urine. It is easily done. Take a glass tumbler and fill it with uriue, after it has stood 24 hours; if it has a sediment, if it is milky or cloudy, if it is pale or discolored, stringy or ropy, your kidneys and bladder are in a dangerous condition and need im mediate attention, or the consequences may prove fatal. Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Rem edy Is the one medicine that really cures all diseases of the kidneys, liver, bladder and blood, rheumatism, dyspep sia and chronic constipation, and It will take you but a short trial to convince yourself of Its wonderful curative power. G. F. Sammer of No. 409 Tioga street, Syracuse, N. Y., In a recent letter says: "I was afflicted for years with severe pains in my back and kid neys. I tried many doctors and many medicines, but got no reliel; for over two years I scarcely had a good night's rest on account of backache in a most distressing form. 1 bought a bottle of Dr. David Ken nedy's Favorite Remedy and com menced to use It, and I must say I never Imagined 1 should lind such a wonderful cure. Why I feel like a young man again in spite of my 59 years." All druggists sell Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy in the Now 50 Coat Size and the regular 81.00 size bottles. Sample bottle—enough for trial, free by matt. Dr.t>.Kennedy Corporation. lloniloiit.N.Y. D !'; R av .', d Kennedy's Cherry llalsum best lor Louis, l/ouyhs, Consumption. 2oc, oUc, sl.
