The coal strike commission was yes
terday given a surprise In the shape of
testimony by John Early that an fit
tempt was made to bribe him to break
the striked
Early's story waa that he and anoth
er man were offered $2500 each to In
duce the men in each local union in
their vicinity to vote for a return to,
work. These 10 men were to receive
$100 to ?200 each.
Early says he betrayed the scheme-to
District President NIcholls, who issued
a warnlnc that such an attempt was
being made. Then the scheme failed.
The big coal companies entered a pro
test asralnst being held responsible for
ttc conditions at the MarKle and Case
mines.
Evidence was produced to show that
the coal companies sell many thousand
tons more coal than they pay the
miners for mining, the Inference being
that the allowance for dirt Is excessive.
SCRANTON. Pa., Dec. 10. The most in
teresting If not the most important testi
mony brought out at today's sessions of
the coal strike commission was to the
effect that an alleged attempt was made
by a former mine foreman to bribe two
presidents of local unions of the miners
to have 10 men In each local use their In
fluence to have a resolution passed send
ing -thc men back to work, thus- making
a serious break in the solid ranks of the
strikers. 'Each of the presidents was to
receive $2500 and good positions as mine
foremen, and each of the KKmen was" to
get from $100 to J200. The- name of no
company was mentioned In connection
with the briberj' scheme, and none of the
lawyers cross-examined the witnesses.
The large coal companies have taken
notice of the testimony which has been
presented regarding conditions existing
at the- mines of the Coxes and Markles.
During the, afternoon session David Wil
cox, first vice-president of the Delaware
& Hudson, and general counsel tor the
company, addressed the commission, and
protested vigorously against the commis
sion holding his company responsible for
the conditions that may exist at the Coxe
or 2-farkle mines. He was quickly stopped
by Chairman Gray, who said the commis
sion did not Intend to hold any company
responsible for whatever special con
ditions may exist In other parts of the
coal fields. "While none of the attorneys
for the other coal-carrying roads said
anything to the commission, they stated
privately that Mr. Wilcox's attitude in the
matter had their indorsement
Coal They Were Not Paid for.
A large amount of technical testimony
was heard on the various phases of the
question at Issue. Two cheek weighmen
produced figures which tended to show
that at two Delaware & Hudson collieries
the miners produced 116,839 tons of coal
more than they were paid for. The min
ers must bring up i$136 pounds of coal and
dirt to make a ton of 2240 pounds of pure
coal, and the union claims that the com
pany gets more than 2240 pounds of coal
out of each "miner's" ton of 3135 pounds
and produced official figures to prove it
The Delaware & Hudson Company pre
Fentcd its figures to the commission to
day, being the first certified statistics to
be" handed In. They show average earn
ings of the miners In 1901 to have been
SS22 68. and his laborer, $449 47. When
Mr. Mitchell was on the. stand he said
tnat $K) should be the minimum of Ameri
can living wases.
Among the visitors at the commission's
headquarters today was Michael Davltt
the Irish leader. He came here from
Washington especially to listen to the
proceedings.
The first business to come before the
commission was the presentation by Si
mon P. Wolverton of a part of the state
ment of the Philadelphia & Reading Coal
& Iron Company, showing the average
wages paid to contract miners and inside
end outside laborers. A" further state
ment wi be made later.
The first witness called was Alexander

Winter weather and colds seem but nat
ural cause and effect
There are a great many remedies for
colds.
Remedies guaranteed to cure a cold in .&.
day, to stop a cough immediately, are
plenty, but there .is one remedy that not
only cures coughs and colds promptly, but
fortifies the system against future at
tacks. ,
This remedy Is Peruna. '
Peruna not only cures a cold quickly
and permanently, but it so heals and
strengthens the inflamed mucous mem
branes that one is much less liable to
catch cold than before taking It
It Is an Ideal safeguard for all Winter
.diseases. One-half- the ills of Winter
are caused directly by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous membrane of soma
part of the body. The mucous mem
branes lining the nose, throat and lungs
arc often affected In Winter.
A remedy that acts beneficially on these
Inflamed membranes would be a logical
cure for these diseases. With heaitny mu
cous mcmbranea no one reed fear tne
most severe weather.
"Catarrhal diseases cannot exist when
Peruna Is used, and kept on hand during
the Winter months.
Matilda Hogan, daughter of Postmaster
at Woodslee, Ont, writes: (
"Following close upon a sjevere cojd,
contracted a few months ago, I had con
stant dull headaches, considerable fevfcr
and a feeling of extreme lassitude, sore
ness in the Joints and loss of appetite
and sleep. I was simply sick all over,
but two bottles of Peruna cured me and
made me feel altogether different The
bad symptoms disappeared in short or
der, and I was soon restored to perfect
health, all through a few bottles of Pe
runa. Since that time a number of my
friends have been taking Peruna, and all
seem to feel .well satisfied with the re
sults." Matilda Hogan.
Mrs. Chas. Stelnecle, Stoughton, Wis.,
writes:
"My experience with Peruna has been
most pleasing. By carelessly leaving a
heated ballroom I got thorourhly chilled
and caught a heavy cold, which settled on
my lungs. I wore a protector, took many
remedies for colds without success. With
my other troubles I had catarrh of the
head. Peruna was recommended to me,
and I bought a bottle, and soon began to
Improve, and kept on taking It and it
cured mo from, all my troubles. I am
most pleased to testify to Its merits."
-Mrs. Chas. Stelnecle.
McVelger, a Delaware & Hudson miner,
who told the same story that dozens of
others have told, to the effect that he
was not given back his old place in the
mine, but was placed at work In a more
undesirable part of the colliery. On crfess
examlnatlon he denied that the miners
boycotted certain breasts and chambers
by marking a half-moon near them..
The miners, through Mr. Darrow, an
nounced at this point that they were pre
pared to pile up cumulative evidence on
their claim that members, of the union
arp being discriminated against by the
companies, but they did not wish to take
up the time of the commission. Mr. .Dar
row asked, in case the companies, when
they present their side of the controversy,
plied up cumulative evidence on this point,
if the, union could put on more witnesses
on the same line of evidence.
Mr. Torrey, for the Delaware & Hudson,
said that that company had a large num
ber of witnesses to testify on the vio
lence phase of the case, which has a di
rect bearing on the recognition of the
union. .Chairman Gray, in reply, said
he hoped both sides would do- the best
they can not to produce too much cumu
lative evidence, and concluded by saying:
"I think that matters growing out of
the mere, exhibition of Reeling will not
have much weight with this commlsslop."
G. W. Philips, City Superintendent of
the public schools, of Scranton, was then
called. He testified that children of
mlneworkers leave the schools earlier
than the children of parents engaged In
other occupations.
John Archibald, of Hazleton, who Is '62
years of age, and says he has worked In
and about the mines for 55 years, said
that some of the miners employed In the
Lehigh Valley mines receive only $1 a day.
Attempt at Bribery.
After the Superintendent of Schools in
Lackawanna County, J. C. Taylor, and
Superintendent of Schools M. W. Cum
mlngs, of the Borough of Ollphant, had
told the commission that 27 2-3 per cent
of the children in the mining region were
out of school, a sensation was caused by
the testimony of John Early, a check
Tvelghman, employed at the Gypsy Grove
colliery of the Erie Company, who was
president of the Gypsy Grove local union.
Early said he was Introduced to a former
mine foreman named Michael Grimes, In
the Lackawanna Valley Hotel, at Scran

who was also president of a local union,
were each offered $2500 to get 10 men to

If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
j write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
pass .a resolution ordering the men from
the two locals they represented back to
work. Early's story was as follows:
He met Grlmea In the hotel through an
other person. In the course of conversa
tion.. Grimes asked hlr how he stood in
politics. Early replied vthat he had not
made up his mind, and Girimes said that,
being president of a local union, he! had
a good deal of infiuenoaacong his friends
in Dunmore, and that if he worked for '
William Connell for Congress he would i
give him $1000. Thia was on September 23.
After Grimes made the $1000 proposition
Early says that Grimes said:
"How about the striker don't you think
the men are weakening?"
To which Early replied that he did think
they were wavering just a little. Grimes
then told him that he knew" a break was
coming In the ranks of the men and that
they would be defeated. Grimes recog
nized that the men had grievances and
that they had put up a good fight, and, as
long as they were going to bedefeated by
the operators, Early ought to' get some
thing out of it Grimes then made this
proposition:
Blocks of Ten at $200,
"If Early could get 10 men to have a
resolution passed by his local, Grimes
would give nine of them $100 each and
the 10th man $200 and Early $2500 and all
expenses necessary to ' carry out the
scheme. He further said that Early necL
not apply .for work for three months-and
that he then would be given a foreman
position, During the three months his ex
penses were to be paid; there would be
no trouble In getting a mlne foreman
certificate, as the companies controlled
the boards that Issued them."
Later on during the conversation Grimes
amended his proposition by offering to
give two of the JO men $200 each, and
at the same time offered Early $10 for cur
rent expenses. Early refused the money
and. told Grimes he wouldsee him later
on. Early reported the matter to District
President NIcholls, of the Miners' Union,
and It was decided to see how far the
bribery' scheme would be carried.
Less Money for Ministers, i
Another, meeting was arranged, and as
Mr. Grimes had spoken of having ap.
proached P. F. O'Hara, the latter went
along. The same proposition waa made
to O'Hara. The same night ,there was
to be a Joint meeting- of al the locals in.
the vicinity of Dunmore, and Grimes
wanted them to pas the resolution that
night, but the two presidents could not
see their way clear to do It Grimes then

proposed that they size up the men In
the meeting, get 30 of them interested.
and if the, resolution was passed the 30
would each receive $200.
Early went on to say that the ministers
of the vicinity were to be approached, but
that they were not to get aif much as the
miners. President NIcholls, he said, then
gave out a public statement, in which
he intimated bribery was being resorted
to In order to break: the strike, and tho
whole thing fell throughGrimes wanted
Early to help him out of the fix, but
Early would have nothing to do with him
The story held the attention of the
commissioners and spectators, and after
Early had concluded none of the lawyers
would cross-examine him.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 10. The most im
portant action of the National Anti-Sa
loon Leacue. now holding Its annual ses

of an address to the public on the Army
canteen question, In which the charge Is
made that high Army officials have per
sistently pursued a course extremely unfa
vorable to the anti-canteen law of Con
gress. The address pledges the assocla
tlon to do its utmost to defeat nny at
tempt to repeal the law until it has had a
full and fair trial, and says:
"High Army officials have most persist
ently pursued a course extremely un
friendly to this law, and pursued it In a
way that has thrown the whole Influence
of tho War Department with the .sol
dlers on the side of distrust and. dis
satisfaction with the law, and have per
sistently published misleading reports
concerning the effects of the law.
"The Anti-Saloon League declares Itself
unalterably opposed to the repeal of the
anti-canteen law. and pledges to do Its
utmost, by petition, by agitation and by
ballot, to .defeat .any attempt to repeal
this law until It has had a full and fair
trial, and that it will not cease the agl
tatlon until the public and those who con
trol the Army understand that liquor-

of National morality and not alone of mil
