SCORED BY THE
LABOR COUNCIL
Rsar Admiral Melville's
Assertions Condemned.
His Recent Interview in a
Philadelphia Paper Is Held
to Be Misleading and Un
warranted by the Facts.
At a mooting of the Central Labor
Council of Freeland and Vicinity, at the
Municipal hall this afternoon, the fol
lowing resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, Rear Admiral Geo. W. Mel
ville, of Washington, D. C., in an al
leged interview published In the Phila
delphia Record on June 8, 1902, grossly
misrepresents the existing facts and
conditions in the anthracite coal Held of
Pennsylvania, by stating that 90 per
cent of the miners have struck without
cause and against their will and were
induced to do so by idle agitators, and
Whereas, Rear Admiral Melville, dur
ing his visit to Freeland and vicinity,
found that miners and mine laborers
live in houses that are habitable, and
that many of these houses have lace
curtains at the windows, and was sur
prised that miners should strike for the
means to obtain and enjoy any further
luxuries of life, therefore be It
Resolved, That since Rear Admiral
Melville has failed and refused to deoy
tho authenticity of the interview ac
credited to him by a responsible news
paper, but ovades the issue by a claim
for friendship for both operators and
miners, therefore we, tho representa
tives of the eleven local unions compris
ing tho Central Labor Council of Free
land and Vicinity, on behalf of the
miners and mino laborers of tho terri
tory toured by Mr. Melville, hereby con
demn his published statements and
sentiments as false, misleading and un
warranted and brand the uncalled-for
traducing of the leaders of tho mine
workers' union as a baso fabrication
which cannot bo supported or proven
by its sponsor or any other person.
Resolved, That we request tho press
of the country to give publicity to this
official refutatiou of the allegations and
allusions contained in Admiral Melville's
interview, for the purpose of correcting
any false impressions which his asser
tions might convoy to people not thor
oughly informed upon the justice of the
minors' strike and our right to endeavor
to improve our conditions so that lace
curtains and habitable houses will no
longer occasion surprise to those in high
stations of life who may honor our re
gion with their presence.
Resolved, That tho above preamble
and resolutions be and are hereby unani
mously adopted by tho Central Labor

If You Have Pain In Your Back
Do Not Bo Deceived-You Have
Kidney Trouble, and You
Do Not Need a Physician
to Tell You So.
Lot us givo you a piece of advice:
Pain in tho 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 (ill it
with urine, after it has stood 24 hours;
if it lias a sediment, if it is milky or
cloudy, if it is pale or discolored, stringy
or ropy, your kidneys and bladder aro
In a dangerous condition and need im
mediate attention, or the consequences
may prove fatal.
Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Rem
edy Is the ono medicine that really
cures all diseases of the kidneys, liverf
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. 401) Tioga street,
Syracuse, N. Y., In a recent letter says:
"I was alllicted for years with
severe pains in my back and kid
neys. I tried many doctors and
many medicines, but got no relief;
for over two yoars I scarcely had a
good night's rest 011 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 1 must say i
never imagined 1 should tied such a
wonderful euro. Why I fuel like a
young man again in spite of my 59
yoars."
