Have You Seen Our New Fall Line ot Suits? LOCAL MINES NOT WORKING Individual Operators Are Violating Agreement. Terms of Settlement Propo sition Ignored at Markle's, Coxe's and Pardee's Col lieries—Strike Continues. The coal 9trlke Is still on, so far as the great majority of tho mine workers of this section are concerned. The union men at the collieries of G. B. Markle <fc Co., Coxe Bros. & Co. and Pardee & Co. have not returned to work. This action is due to a gross violation by the officials of these Arms of the terms of tho settlement proposition pre sented by the coal-carrying companies to President Roosevelt on October 14 and accepted by the United Mine Work ers of America on October 21. The concluding paragraph of the op erators' proposition to end the strike contains the following: "It being the understanding that Im mediately upon the constitution of such (arbitration) commission, in order that idleness and non-production may cease Instantly, THE MINERS WILL RETURN TO WORK and cease all interference with and persecution of non-union men who are working or shall hereafter work." This portion of the proposition was unreservedly accepted by tho miners and the operators were so notified through President Roosevelt, but yester day, when tho miners appeared at the collieries of the firms named, to carry out their part of the contract, they were met with notices, printed In some places and verbally given In others, that they can not return to work until they make individual application for a position and sign special agreements In which they solemnly promise not to interfere with non-union workers and agree indivi dually to abide by the findings of the ar bitration commission. This open refusal of the local Individ ual operators to live up to the plan of settlement offered by the large corpora tions came as a surprise to their em ployes, and to cause further dissension their violation of the terms of the proposition has been followed by Coxe Bros. & Co. with wholesale discharges of a number of men whose nationality is detested by tho clique which has charge of tho Interests of the Drifton company. It being understood that unwarranted discharges of employes is to be a subject for consideration at the hands of Presi dent Roosevelt's commission, the miners are disposed to overlook for the presont the rank discrimination practised by Coxe Bros. & Co., but they do not feel that they should waivo any of the rights accorded them by the settlement plan, especially those portions which the operators themselves framed and present ed. The mine workers have unanimous ly agreed to return to work on condition* offered them by the mining companies through President Roosevelt, and the aetlon of the local operators In refusing to permit them to return to work on tho terms of the settlement plan proves dis honesty on the operators' part to which tho miners will not submit. At Upper Lehigh the resumption was general, the officials In charge there again proving thomselves ready to meet their employes half-way in settling the trouble. While some could not be given work just now, on account of some of the mines not being in condition, the officials expect to provide employment in the future for all tho former workers, excepting a few against whom charges have been lodged. At Sandy Run no one appearrd for work yesterday, as Kemtueror & Co. had announced that operations will not be resumed until the winter Is over. At Jeddo, Highland and Oakdale the FREELAND, PA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1902. miners responded In large numbers, but refused to conform to the arbitrary rules established by Markle & Co. and returned to their homes. Similar action wa9 taken by Coxe Bros. & Co.'s employes at Drifton and Eckley. At Drifton a large number of breaker employes, Including many old men and boys, were Others who were notified that their services are no longer required are John J. Mc- Neils, assistant mine foreman; Manus and Wllllain Carlin, assistant breaker foremen; Patrick Collins, John J. Bas kin, William Ferry, Thomas Gallagher, Jerry McCarthy., Sarsfield McCarthy, James B. Ferry, James Brown, Edward McCole, Patrick McDevitt, James Bres lin and John H. O'Donnell, steam em ployes, and John Collins, coal-office employe. Yesterday afternoon Markle and Coxe's employes met at the Grand opera house to take action on the attitude assumed by these operators. District President Duffy and National Board Member P. G. Gallagher addressed the men. The decision arrived at was to 9end com mittees of each company's employes to Drifton and Jeddo to procure from the officials definite statements of what the men are expected to sign before resum ing work. The committees performed their duty and reported to the strikers at 8 o'clock, at which hour the meeting reassembled. In the meantime the union officers had made known to National President Mit chell the condition of affairs hero aud received instructions how to procoed. The ovenlng meeting decided unani mously to remain out until the local companies permit their employes to re sume on tho same conditions upon which the employes of the coal-carrying com panies are returning to work. Tho committees wore Instructed to return to Drifton and Jeddo and notify Markle & Co. and Coxe Bros. & Co. of the action of the meeting and to roport the result of today's conferences to the district board at liazletou as 9oon there after as possible. At 1 o'clock this afternoon the district board received tho report of the com mittees. An executive session was im mediately held, but nothing was given out for publication up to 3.30 o'cloclc. Unofficial reports say that tho opera tors' replies were unsatisfactory and that the union will order out all their members working for Markle & Co., Coxe Bros. & Co. and Pardee & Co. Strike Arbiters Meet. The commissioners appointed to ad just differences between the anthracite coal operators and miners mot at Wash ington at 10 o'clock this morning. The commission chose Judge Gray as chairman and elected Dr. 11. M. Neale, of Upper Lehigh, Pa., and Edward A.

John Mitchell, president of the miners' union, and the representatives of the coal op orators have been notified to attend.

It is the purpose to conduct the widest Investigation and to that end testimony will be sought In every quarter. Tho non-union men who have remain ed at the mines will be asked for their views, and representative business men In their territory will have opportunity to give a third party's Ideas. President Roosevolt Insists that the fairest and most impartial Investigation sbal 1 be conducted and the personnel of the commission Is regarded as a guar antee that his directions wlll.be observ ed. Parade of Mine Workers. The parade in honor of the ending of the strike, held Wodnesday evening by the United Mine Workers of Freeland and vicinity, was a large demonstration, both in numbers and enthusiasm. Flags, fireworks, colored lights and rousing cheers greeted the marchers along every foot of the route of parade. In the ranks were upwards of a dozen soldiers from the surrounding camps, most of whom served as color-bearers for the miners and wore generously ap plauded. A number of banners contain ing inscriptions were carried. The parade was dismissed at Krell's hall, where appropriate addresses were delivered by National Board Member P. G. Gallagher, Vice District President Mattl, D. J. McCarthy, Esq., and John F. Shovlin. Burgess Boyle was chair man of the meeting. Ice cream—all fiavors—at Merkt's. CASTOZIZA.

When an experienced physician offers to give away 340,000 worth of a New Treatment for disease of the heart, nerves, stomach or dropsy, it is conclu sive evidence that he has great faith in it. And when hundreds of prominent people, freely testify to his unusual skill and the superiority of his New Special Treatment, his liberality is certainly worthy of serious consideration. That Dr. Miles is one of the world's most successful physicians is proven by hundreds of testimonials from wofl known people. One patient cured after failure of eleven Grand Rapids physi cians, two after being given up by six and seven Chicago physicians, another after nine leading doctors in New York City, Philadelphia and Chicago failed. 1000 testimonials sent upon request. Tho eminent Rev. W. Bell, D. I)., of Dayton, 0., Gen.
