MITCHELL DAY
CELEBRATIONS
Mine Workers Honor Their
Leader in Many Towns.
Parades and Demonstrations
Held Today at Freeland
and Other Centres of the
Anthracite Field.
Mitchell Day, so named in honor of
John Mitchell, the national president of
the United Mine Workers of America,
was celebrated today by the members of
the organization which he leads In a
befitting manner In all the principal
towns of the anthracite region.
Mitchell Day was added to the list of
labor's holidays at the close of the suc
cessful strlko in the anthracite region
in 1900 and is observed in honor of the
man who lead the mine workers to vic
tory In that struggle.
In Freelaqd the celebration program
consisted of a parade and addresses.
The procession formed at the Grand
opera house at 2.30 o'clock this after
noon, with Burgess John F. Boyle as
marshal and Philip Wackley, John
Meko and Leul Lukl as aids.
Music was furnished by St. Ann's
band and three drum corps, which were
followed by the local unions of Freeland,
South Heberton, Drlfton, Upper Lehigh,
Jnddo, Highland, Eckley and Sandy
Run.
Upper Lehigh and South Heberton
locals bad large numbers of members in
line.
Football and other amusements at
tracted many who should be In line.
The marchers made a good appear
ance and those who are still on strike
were enthusiastically greeted and en
couraged by their more fortunate fellow
workers who have resumed.
After traversing the principal streets
the marchers returned to the Grand
opora house, where the parado was
dispersed.
At Hazleton the United Mine Work
ers and other labor unions of that city
and surrounding towns paraded this
afternoon and were later addressed by
a number of prominent orators. Over
8,000 men were In line.
At noon today the labor organizations
of Wilkesbarre held a monster parado,
which was reviewed by President Mitch
ell and other officers of the Uuited
Mine Workers.
At Scranton, Tamaqua, Shamokin
and in all the large towns of Schuylkill
county large parades were also held.
Touring the District.
The Democratic candidate for the
legislature, Councilman B. J. Ferry, of
Ilazleton, is making a tour of the
Fourth district and Is meeting with
much encouragement In his canvass for
votes. Mr. Ferry Is one of the men who
have beon on striko, being a miner, not
by profession, but by occupation. He
is an intelligent and sincere worker for
the people's interests, as his record on
Hazleton council will testify, and is not
only worthy but Is entitled to the vote
and active support of every wage-earner
in the district.
If the worklngmen want legislation
that will bettor their condition, they
must send men to Harrlsburg from their
own ranks. If they fall to do this in
the Fourth district, whero 80 per cent
of the voters are wage-earners, they
will prove themselves undeserving of
consideration by the law-makers.
CASTOR IA

The Kind You Have Always Bought
ROUND THE REGION
W. D. Zehnor, superintendent of the
Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company
says that his company has no idea of
discriminating against a part of its
employes as has been persistently re
ported for the past few days. He 9aid
that many of the mines were very gas
eous, and jthat In several places the
gangways .have fallen In. "When
everything Is In working shape," he
said, "we will be able to take on many
more men than we have at present.
VVe are proceeding as fast In the matter
as possible, and we are just as anxious
to work full handed as the men are to
get back to work."
When the county constables made
their return In court on Monday they
reported no violations of the liquor laws;
Rev. J. J. K. Fletcher, of Plttston, presi
dent of the State Anti-Saloon League,
asked to have Constables Quigley and
Laurer suspended for failing to subpoena
witnesses to appear against 9peak-easies.
He had asked them to get the witnesses.
A hearing will be held.
Negotiations are pending for the sale
of the Lebighton Advocate to 11. S.

85.500 Is the price quoted. The change

ly killed, and Stanley Magufsky, single,

Arrested for Desertion,
Private John Pock, of Shenandoah, is
in the county jail at Pott9ville, charged
with deserting from the U. S. army.
The odd feature about the charge again
st Pock is that after deserting the army
he hired himself as a firemen at Lentz &
Co.'s colliery at Park Place and worked
there all through the strike. Pock was
captured by several Shenandoah police
men, who found him hiding in a hay
loft at Ringtowo. tie will be taken

Strike Inquiry Begun
The Anthracite Coal Striko Commis
sion held Its first business mooting Mon
day afternoon and partially outlined its
plan of investigation. Chairman Gray
announced that the examination was to
be conducted with as much speed as
practicable, aud requested both sides to
lose no time In filing their statements
which are to form the basis for the in
vestigation.
The next meeting will bo held In
Scranton tomorrow morning, when the
examination into the physical conditions
of the anthracite coal mining and visits
to the homes, of the miners will be com
menced, with representatives of the
miners and operators accompanying the
commission.
An offer by the operators to furnish
the commission with a spocial train was
made in the open session, but the body
decided later, In secret session, to dec
line the offer and pay it 9 own expenses
of every character. In order to bo
strictly impartial the commission will
not accept favor from either side.
President John Mitchell, of the United
Mine Workers of America, will repre
sent the anthracite miners. Objection
was raised by the operators to his recog
nition in the investigation as tho presi
dentof the United Mine Workers, but
tboy announced they had no objection
to hi 9 appearing a9 the representative of
the anthracite miners.
Mr. Mitchell said that the qnestlon of
his position as president of the union
was not involved and announced that he
appeared before the commission as the
representative of the anthracite coal
miners.
The commission made no attempt to
settle the controversy, but it was made
apparent that the recognition of the
miners' union will bo an Important and
knotty problem for the arbitrators.

Franklin Miles, M. D., 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 ofTers
to give away 840.000 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 well
known people. One patient cured after
failure of eleven Grand Rapids physi
cians, two after being given up by six
and sevon Chicago physicians, another
after nine leading doctors in New York
City, Philadelphia and Chicago failed.
1000 testimonials sent upon request.
The eminent liev. VV. 8011, D. U., of Dayton,
f.0., Geu. Bee'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 bo a most
skillful specialist, a man who has spared nei
ther labor nor money to keep himself abreast
of the groat advancement in medical science."
Col. Tucker, late General Manager N. Y., L.
E. & W. K. It. says: "Dr. Miles'success as a
physician has been phenoininal " "My heart,"
writes D. M. Davis, of Warren, Pa., ' was so*
bad I was fearful of going to sleep lest it
would be my last. Dr. Miles saved my life. L
was completely cured in six weeks." Mrs.
Abigail chambers, of Chuniborsburg, Pu.,
states: "My trouble was in the brain and
spinal cord. When I commenced Dr. Miles'
treatment i could hardly walk across the
room; now 1 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
my stomach, neuralgia, sinking spells and
dropsy. Dr. Miles cured me."
This new system of Special Treatment
Is thoroughly scientilic and immensely
superior to the ordinary methods.
As all aillicted readers may have
34.00 worth of treatment free, we would
advise them to send for it at once.
