SEVENTEENTH
WEEK BEGUN
Important Moves May Be
Expected Soon.
Predictions of a Statement
From the Operators and a
Call for a Convention of
Anthracite Strikers.
The seventeenth week of the coal
9trlke began this morning, and unions
some unforsnen event occurs to alter
the program It promises to be one of the
mo9t eventful since May 12. The
week Is expected to bring forth from
the operators a statement embodying
concessions to the strikers and from
John Mitchell and the district presi
dents a call for a convention of the
United Mine Workers of the anthracite
region.
The settlement plans have now pro
ceeded 80 far that the two Important
moves briefly outlined above are roady
to be made, and those who have been
Instrumental In harmonizing the differ
ences between the operators and the
strikers, as well as some of those who
are dlrectlv affected by the plans, give
the Tribune their assurance that the
week will not end without seeing these
things come to pass.
What the concessions will amount to
and how they are to be presented to the
mine workers Is not known to us, never
theless we aro assured that they will be
satisfactory to the leaders of the strikers
and will bo approved by the miners'
convention, which will be held, probably
at Wllkesbarre, a9 soon as possible after
the operators are heard from.
In presenting this matter to our read
ers at this time the publishers of the
Tribune fully realize that they are giv
ing publicity to statements which mean
much to many people. If the publishers
for a moment doubted the reliability of
the statements here given, thoy would
not permit them to appear in these
columns. No false hopes of a satisfac
tory adjustment of the trouble would be
held out to the strikers, nor would any"
thing be published that would have a
tendency to unduly prolong the conflict,
but the business of this paper is to give
the news and the Trlbnne would be
delinquent in Its duty were It to sup
press news of this character, especially
when the sources of information aro
considered reliable and authentic. The
Tribune's informants on the subject of
strike settlement are men whoso word
is as good as a government bond, and,
knowing no reason why they would at
tempt to impose upon the paper or its
readers, we accept their Information in
good faith and in turn presont It In the
same manner In those columns.
GOVERNOR TO MEET ALLIANCE.
Govornor Stone has fixed next Thurs
day to meet a committee appointed by
the People's Alliance at Hazleton to
discuss the best means of ending the
anthracite coal strike. The governor
said he would be glad to meet anybody
who might want to see him on matters
pertaining to the strike. lie also said
that he had nothing to add to his state
ment to the committee from the state
legislative board of Railway Employes
of Pennsylvania that he would call an
extra session of the legislature If he was
confident an arbitration law could be
passed that would end this strike and
prevent others in the future.
iiazleton city councils have adopted
a resolution asking for an extra session.
A similar resolution will bo presented
this evening for adoption at the meet
ing of Freeland borough council. Other
towns wiil be asked to do likewise.
Foster School Board.
The regular meeting of Foster town
ship school board was held Saturday
evening with Messrs. Ziestloft, Dudley,
Johnson and O'Neil present. In the

The hour at which schools are to

ers, but the members thought It should
conform to the time of the collierios.
Principal Hoffman reported the at
tendance 98V at the opening of school,
but at present there may be 1,050 In the
schools. The teacher at Sandy Run
requested permission to teach algebra.
The board decided that the high school
was established for pupils capable of
taking the higher studies and refused
the request.
In view of the trouble experienced by
the hoard .iu collecting tuition fees it
was decided that all pupils residing out
side the district desirous of aituuding
school would first have to secure a per
mit from the board and aoy teacher ac-

Opera House Manager.
The Young Men's Corps yesterday
elected J. J. MeMenamin manager of
the Grand opera house for the season of
1902 03. This action wa9 due to the
failure of U. G. Hill, to whom the house
was leased last summer, to fulfill his
part of the contract. The new manager
has had charge of the building for tho
Freeland Opera House Company for the
past three years, and 19 therefore no
stranger to the duties of the position.
Although handicapped greatly by
taking control so late in the season,
after a majority of the theatrical com
panies have completed their bookings,
Mr. McMeuamin's experience will prove
valuable to the society in procuring
plays for the house. For the present,
on account of the coal strike, very few
shows will be brought to town.

COMMUNICATED.
Freeland, Pa., September 5.
Editor Tribune.—ln your ls9ue of the
3d Inst., we noticed an article presumably
penned by one Joseph S. Uhlar, of
Upper Lehigh, In which that learned
gentleman takes umbrage at the action
of Supreme President Ambrose, of the
National Slavonic Society, for protest
ing against the admission of a certain
Hungarian flag to this country free of
duty.
Now, In reference to this article we
will say that we are very firmly con
vinced that Mr. Uhlar Is not sufficiently
Informed in matters pertaining to his
native land, to Intelligently discuss this
question, this conclusion being forced
upon us by a perusal of bis article. The
gentloman asserts that the protest
against the admission of the flag was
unnecessary, and enters Into a lengthy
harangue In Biipport of this assertion,
but he actually proves nothiug.
The facts of the matter are that In
answer to Mr. Ambrose's protest against
the admission of this flag to this country,
free of duty, the secretary of the United
States treasury replied that the admis
sion of the flag free of duty had been
denied, and this would lead us to infer
that It certainly must have been de
manded or it could not have been denied.
YYe are then tempted to ask who is Mr.
Uhlar? Who Is this man who sets him
self upon a pedestal and decides whether
Mr. Ambrose's action was necessary or
not?
The action of Mr. Ambrose met with
the almost universal support and com
mendation of all the leading Slavonians
aud many of the prominent Magyars,
Including their most influential periodi
cals, as well, and certainly appears to
be meritorious.
We do not think It would be hard to
find many American citizens, natives of
other lauds, viz: "Irish or German"
particularly referred to by the gentle
man who would vigorously protest
against the admission, free of duty, of
the English or the German flag, bearlug
an Inscription such as this flag bears
and being sent here by the government
Itself, as is the case here.
We fall to see wherein the action of
Mr. Ambrose would indicate tb&t he
desired "to get vengeance ou his moth
erland"or wherein he "practiced deceit,"
but, on the contrary, we feel that he but
did his duly as a good, loyal, Americau
citizen, and to prove that we are not
alone In this opinion we quote from the
columns of Nepszava, a leadlug Magyar
publication of New York city, and
the official organ of the committte ap
pointed to receive the flag, which said:
"Under ordinary circumstances we
would with devotion, honoraud welcome
the flag. But, when it comes to us with
a coutr&ct attached, which would bind
us here In a strange land to further the
interests of our motherland, and really
Invites us to become traitors to the stars
and stripes, then we must rofuse, with
disgust, to accept it, as offered."
In conclusion we would state that we
do not question the fact that Mr. Uhlar
is a good, patriotic Magyar, but we have
reason to doubt whether be is now, or
ever will become a good faithful Ameri
can citizen. As to his pretty allegory
about Svatupluk and Arpad, we have
only to say that this proves conclusively
that the gentleman has never studied
the history of his native land, and we
would advise him, before he further
betrays his Ignorance, to secure copy
and at least peruse it.

Kidney Disease Kills.
Its Victims Numbered by the
Hundreds of Thousands.

expected deaths of today are from that
cause. Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy Is the only sure cure known for
diseases of the kidneys, liver, bladder
and blood, rheumatism, dyspepsia and
chronic constipation. It is marvelous
how it stops that pain in the back, re
lieves the necessity of urinating so often
at night, drives away that scalding pain
in passing water, corrects tho bad effect
of whiskey and beer and shows its bene
ficial effects on the system in incredibly
short time.
George L. Smith, foreman of the llol
ley Manufacturing Company's Works,
Lockport, N. Y., says in a recent letter:
"I have used Dr. David Ken

complaint very severely, it bothered
me a great deal, and have found
great relief from its use, and cheer
