INVESTIGATION
COMPLETED
Wright's Facts Secured for
President Roosevelt.
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

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,

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. Meyers, of Bloomsburg, Is the

est no larger than that of a robin.
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.
After hanging fire for more than a
year, the Columbia and Montour Elec

eighteen" inches on each side of the

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

•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. Ills as
sociates were held equally guilty on the

bances. The entire party was consign
ed to tho city dump.
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.

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."
