LABOR LEADER
IS HONORED
Miners Present Him With
a Badge and Watch.
National President in His
Reply Looks Forward to
Harmony Between Capital
and Labor.
President John Mitchell was presented
yesterday by the Polish, Lithuanian and
Slavish people ot the coal region with a
gold badge valued ai $550 and a watch
worth ®IOO. The badge Is a copy of the
Emancipation badge presented to Presi
dent Lincoln by the freed slaves after
the Civil war. It bears tho Insignia of
tho mlno workers, a miner's pick and
shovel, crossed above a mine lamp, and
on tho roverso side the Inscription.
Both badge and watch were inscribed as
follows: "Presented to John Mitchell,
president tho United Mine Workers of
America, from tho Polish, Lithuanian
and Slavonian people of the anthracite
coal fields of Pennsylvania."
Paul Pulaski, vice president of Dis
trict 0, officiated as chairman and mas
ter o( ceremonies. A large delegation
of representatives of nationalities that
had contributed to the gift were pres
ent In addition to Presidents Nlcholls,
Duffy and Kabey and other prominent
mine workers, members of both the
English and foreign press and ministers
of the- Reformed Church, who are at
present holding a convention in the city.
In Ills reply to tho presentation ad
dress, President Mitchell said:
"I have in my life been the recipient
of many honors and have enjoyed to a
large degree tho confidence of those
whoso Interests have been committed to
my care, but I beg to assure you that I
treasure more than language can ex
press this additional manifestation of
the good will and respect of your people.
44 When I first came to tho anthracite
coal fields I found tho mine workers dis
organized and separated by race pre
judices and religious animosities. There
was no unity of action and no effective
power of resistance, but now they are
united, they have grown to know one
another bettor, they recognize the
identity of their Interests and are pre
pared to move as one man in tho ad
vancement of their common cause.
44 1 look forward to the time when
strikes shall bo no more; when peace
and justice and right shall be secured
for those who toll; when labor and capi
tal, each recognizing its rights and obli
gations to society, shall work in har
mony for the common welfare of our
country and in the general good of all
our people."
The three district presidents, before
President Mitchell's departure for
Washington, had a long
him regarding tho conditions. They
remained with him until 4 o'clock, when
ho started for Washington, accompanied
by Messrs. Fahy and Duffy. The presi
dent of District 7 went no further than
Philadelphia.
Tho matters under discussion were
the plans for presenting nvidence to the
commission, and the disturbing situa
tion at Marklo's, Coxe's and Pardee's
works, the Panther Creek district and
at some of tho smaller collieries
throughout tho Schuylkill and tho Sba
mokin regions, where the operators are
holding out, refusing to re-engage the
men unless they sign contracts agreeing
to abide by the decision of tho commis
sion or not to Interfere with tho non
union men working.
President Mitchell would not say what
action had been taken, if any, but
President Duffy declared that tho men
there would not return to work if they
are required to sign the agreement.
Ho said the miners could not under
stand why these operators maintain
their position when the big companies
insisted upon no such proposition.
FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1902.
EVICTION NOTICES.
Employes of Marklo & Co. Receive Or
ders to Vacate Their Homes.
The labor trouble at Jeddo was further
complicated today, when notices to
vacate the houses owned by G. B. Mar
ble & Co. were served upon several of
tho striking miners in that town.
The notices were served by Coal and
Iron Police Officer Gottlieb Filler, the
firm's regular officer, who was accom
panied by one of the special guards em
ployed at Jeddo.
The names of those who had received
notices up to 2 o'clock this afternoon
are: Paul Dunleavy, Henry Cull, James
Gallagher, John Demshock, Charles
Helferty, Japan; Andrew Konick, Mich
ael Kushma, Foundryvllle, and Ileury
Shovlln. Oakdale.
The notices order tho men and their
families to vacate tho promises tboy
occupy within six days.
Most of the men who are ordered out
are officers of Local Union No. 1518, of
Jeddo, and have been employed by
Markle & Co. for a number of years.
They have been active In the strike, but
so far as is known have not trans
gressed any laws or done anything
which should cause them to receive the
summary treatment accorded them.
It is reported that the officers who are
serving the notices will visit Highland
this afternoon and serve similar papers
upon some of the men of that town who
have ben conspicuous in the strike.
It Is believed that today's action of the
Jeddo firm will have a tendency to ag
gravate the differences between Markle
& Co. and their employes and will make
an Immediate adjustment of the trouble
very Improbable.
Troops Returning Home.
Major General Charles Miller, whoso
headquarters are at Pottsvllle at pres
ent, on Friday evening Issued an order
directing that the Twelfth regiment and
Batteries A, B and C be sent home the
next day. The Twelfth regiment is
stationed in the vicinity of Scranton,
and has been in service since July 31, a
total of eighty-five days. This regiment
during the early part of the strike
troubles was stationed near Shenan
doah. The regiment is from Lycoming,
Northumberland, Union, Montour and
Clinton counties. Battery A is from
Philadelphia, Battery B from Pittsburg
and Battery C from Phoonixvllle. They
were ordered out when the entire divi
sion was summoned recently.
The four Williatnsport companies of
the Twelfth arrived homo in time to
attend the funeral of Richard E.
Knight, who contracted typhoid fever
at Shenandoah and died on Friday.
Two other members of the regiment,
both of that city, also succumbed to the
disease while on duty.
11l in Philadelphia.
Miss Cassie McGarvey, a daughter of
Mrs. Thomas McGarvey, of Walnut
street, Is dangerously ill at Jefferson
hospital, Philadelphia. The young lady
has been employed in that city for some
years. Lately she became alllicted with
stomach trouble and her physicians de
cided that an operation was necessary
to effect a permanent cure. The opera
tion was performed at the above hospital
on Friday in the presence of her sister
and was a success, but the patient be
came exceedingly weak and for a time
her recovery was in doubt.
Her mother and brother, Daniel,
went to Philadelphia on Saturday in
response to an urgent message. She
was also visited by her brother, John,
of Jersey City. Since then her condi
tion has steadily improved, but she is
not yet out of danger.
Temperance Men Meet.
Representatives of the Catholic tem
perance societies of the Lehigh region
met at Hazleton yesterday. A number
of subjects of interest to those who are
engaged in the total abstinence move
ment were discussed. Freeland was
chosen as the next place of meeting on
Sunday, January 25, lUO3.
The following were the delegates
present from the local societies:
Young Men's Corps—John McCole,
J. D. Myers, Daniol F. O'Donnell, Pat
rick Collins and Peter O'Donnell.
St. Ann's Cadets—Edward A. Mc-
Hugh, Denis North, James Brogan,
Patrick S. Quinn and William Higglns.
It Was Another Doctor.
In the report of Friday's session of
the Anthracite Coal Strike Commission
the Tribune stated that Dr. 11. M.
Nealo, of Upper Lehigh, had been ap
pointed as one of the assistant recorders
of the commission. This was Incorrect,
tho appointee being Dr. C. P. Nlell, pro
fessor of political economy at the Cath
olic university, Washington.
The report of the commissioner's ses
sion was received over the telephone,
and the similarity of the names caused
the error.
STRIKE NOTES
New* and Incident* of the flattie Be
tween Miner and Operator.
A strike Is threatened at the Ilollen
back colliery, Wilkesbarre. The men
claim that the non-union engineers are
Incompetent, and that they will not go
to work while the men are engaged.
Saturday night a cage full of men was
hoisted to the breaker head Instead of
tho landing. At the Prospect colliery
an engineer hoisted a cage to the shieve
wheels and broke them. There is simi
lar complaint at several of the mines.
There is general satisfaction among
the mine workers over the appointment
of Carroll D. Wright as an additional
member of the commission, and Presi
dent Mitchell is much pleased. lie ex
pects to return to Wilkesbarre tomorrow
night and be present for tho Mitchell
Day celebration at tho county spat on
Wednesday.
First regiment soldiers say they would
have received orders this week to return
to their homes in Philadelphia if trouble
had not arisen at Markle's and Coxe's
collieries. The men are anxious to see
the local dispute settled, as they will
not be released from duty until general
resumption takes place in this section.
James Thompson, of South Centre
street, hat been authorized to collect
statistics to be used before the Anthra
cite Coal Strike Commission. Mr.
Thompson's data will refer principally
to the miners' dwellings, families, etc.,
in the surrounding villages.
The striking minors at Drlfton, Jeddo,
Highland and Oakdaie remain firm and
say they will not go to work until the
operators take them back on the same
conditions upon which the employes of
the large corporations returned.
Extensive preparations are being
made for the Mitchell Day celebrations
on Wednesday throughout the coal
field. The union men of this section
will parade here.
Judge Rice Seriously 111,
President Judge Charles E. Rico, of
tho superior court of Pennsylvania, is
in a serious condition at the Presbyter
ian hospital, Philadelphia. Tho promi
nent jurist was operated upon on Satur
day for appendicitis. The operation
was performed by Dr. Henry R. Whar
ton, one of the best physicians in that
city. Judge Itlce was taken to Phila
delphia from Wilkesbarre Friday night,
and on account of his condition he was
accompanied by his wife, who is still at
tho hospital. The operation Is said to
have been a rather dillicult one, in con
sequence of which the patient has not
rallied as well as was expected. He
was reported late last night as having
improved somewhat.
Judge Rice has been president judge
of the superior court of this state since
1895. He was born in Fairfield, New
York, September 15, 1845. Ho was ad
mitted to theScranton bar in 1877 and a

few years later ho was honored with a
judgeship of the common pleas court, of
this county.

sylvania on Saturday night pressed
their claims for election before the
voters at the county seat—Samuel W.

Franklin Miles, M. 1)., LL. 8.,
the Celebrated Chicago
Specialist, Will Send -St.oo
Worth of His New Spe
cial Treatment Free
to Each of Our
Readers.
When an experienced physician offers
to give away 310,000 worth of a New
Treatment for disease of the heart,
nerves, stomach or dropsy, it is conclu
sive evidence that he lias 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 well
known people. One patient cured after
failure of eleven Grand Ltapids 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.
Tim eminent Rev. \V. Bell, D. D., oi' Dayton,
()., Geu. See'y of Foreign Missions, writes
-editorially in The Stale Sunday School Union:
"We desire to state that from personal ac
quaintance we know Dr. Miles to be a most
skillful specialist, a man who has spared nei
ther labor nor money to keep himself abreast
of the wrcat advancement in medical science."
Col. Tucker, late General Manager N. Y., L.
E. & W. it. R. says: "Dr. Miles' success as n
physician has been phenomiual " "My heart,"
writes D. M. Davis, of Warren, Pa., "was so
bad I was fearful of going to 'sleep lest it
would be my lat. Dr. Miles saved my life. 1
was completely cured in six weeks." Mrs.
Abigail Chambers, of Chainbersburtr. Pa.,
states: "My trouble was in the brain and
spinal cord. When I commenced Dr. Miles'
treatment I could hardly walk across the
room; now I am able to do all my own work."
Mrs. W. A. Warren, of Jamestown, N. Y., re
ports: "For years I had severe trouble with
tny stomach, neuralgia, sinking spells and
dropsy. Dr. Miles cured me."
This now system of Special Treatment
is thoroughly scientific and immensely
superior to the ordinary methods.
As all afflicted readers may have
$4.00 worth of treatment free, we would
advise them to send for it at once.
