Cbrcltvreighnien.
WILKESBARRE. Pa April M. The ex
ecutive boards of district Nos. L 7 and
9 of the United Mine workers of America,
which districts embrace the entire an
thracite coal region, held their first Joint
conference here tonight since the strike
commission made lis award. The pur
pose of the conference Is to Interpret, so
far as the miners' organisation has au
thority, the various features of the
award. President Mitchell, who arrived
from the West during the afternoon,
presided.
The principal point in dispute Is the
Interpretation of the nine-hour workday
for all mlneworkers who are employed
by the day, week or month. There has
been much friction In the three districts
over this question, and the znitter reached
an acute stage today, when the Phila
delphia & P.eadlng Coal & Iron Com
nanv shut down nearly all Its collieries
In the Schuylkill region because the men
would not accept the interpretation oi me
relative to the nine-hour day.
About 30.000 men were rendered Idle In
the Schuylkill region by the company's
action.
Another Grievance Is the alleged re
fusal of Coxa Bros. & Co.. In the mid-
ai onii Arid, to nermlt the miners to
employ a checkwelghman. The award
Df the commission makes It compulsory
for operators to employ, at the expense
of the miners, a checkwelghman when
ever requested by a majority of the men
at any colliery.
The Joint conference will meet again
tomorrow.

MUSHROOM UNIONS "WIN.
They Outvote Conservatives and De
clde to Strike.
CHICAGO, April 20. An attempt was
made last night by conservative leaders of
the city to head off the epidemic of strikes
that Is threatening Chicago. The propo
sition was that the Federation of Labor
should refuse strike aid to all unions
less than a year old. The proposal was
advocated by practically every experienced
labor leader who attended the meeting
held In Bricklayers Hall, and they had
fought valiantly for Its adoption. Against
them was an array of men representing
the so-called "mushroom" organizations
who hissed and Jeered and finally defeated
the measure.
Had the resolution been adopted
would have prevented more than a dozen
strikes that are now In contemplation
and would have placed control of the sit
uation In the lisnds of the old. tried
unions. The far-reaching effect of the res
olution was recognized by all. and Its de
feat was hailed with cries of exurberance
by members of the new unions.

In, Wires Down.
BERLIN. Anril 2ft The gale of Sunday
wrought such havoc on the grounds at
Potsdam that a full report on the subject
has been telegraphed to Emperor William.

damaged.

Euroie ceased today at daylight. The
snow Is two Inches deep In Berlin. Increas
ing to three feet In the Hartx mgnianos.
Snow lies deerj In' East Prussia, and Po
land, where wires are down and trains de
layed. The temperature In moat parts of
Germany Is barely at freezing point, so
that the daman to the fruit crops may
not be so serious as at first supposed. The
snow is melting rapidly and the streams
are already flooding.

telegraphic communication with Russia
is interrupted and that the lines com
municating with Pomeranla, Silesia and

snows as this are extremely rare. Hence
shovel exDedltlons have been organized to
dig out the drift-covered trains and carry
food to the belated passengers, ueiegrams
from many cities read alike. Street-cars
are immovable and telegraph wires are
down and trains venturing to leave ter
minals are stalled In the country or are
arriving at their destinations after great
difficulty and hours late, with their pas
sengers cold and hungry.
The turret over the Paradise door of
the Magdeburg Cathedral was blown
down. Many trees In the Thelrgarten
here were uprooted. Part of the roof of
the opera, house was blown oft, and work
men at the risk of their lives sought to re
calr It so as to prevent damage to the
richly decorated interior, but tney were
unable to keep at work. Falling chimneys
and tiles made the Berlin thoroughfares
perilous. Twenty-one persons were taken
to the hospitals. Count von Ballestrum.
oresldent of the Reichstag, who Is on his
way to attend the opening of Parliament
tomorrow, is snowed in between here ana
SUerla.
The fine trees planted by Frederick the

at Potsdam, were the largest of all the
fir trees.

The Government transport squabble will

In the cams as big as ever. The contract
held by the Boston Steamship Company
for transporting; Government freight and

About four months ago the War Depart

has a line out of Seattle. James J. Hill,
ot the Great Northern, had an under
standing with that company whereby It
was to submit & low rate. Tbe Boston
Steamship Company's bid was accepted.
whereby that company was to transport
freight for 11 per ton, first-class passen
gers for 1100 each, and soldiers ITS each.
San Francisco did not bid because It re
lied upon the Government vessels to re
tain the hold It bad enjoyed on the busi
ness for four years. For a time it looked
as If Seattle might wrest from San Fran
cisco a large share of tha transport busi
ness, and the Bay City was so alarmed
that It called for new bids. Congress at
Its last session Inserted In the military
appropriation bill a clause) forbidding the
War Department to sell or charter the
transports without Its sanction. Thus
far the political Influence of San Fran
cisco has been so fomidable that the
Puget Sound Interests have been hard put
to cope with It- Secretary Root was
bound to award the contract to the Bos

Information as to right living and the best methods of promoting
health and happiness. "With proper knowledge, each hour of
recreation, of enjoyment and cf effort may be made to contribute
to that end and are of sot less value than the using of the most
wholesome foods and the selecting of the best medicinal agents
when needed, "With the well-Informed, medicinal agents are used
only when nature needs' assistance and while the importance of
cleansing the system effectually, when bilious or constipated, has
long been known, yet until within recent years it was necessary
to resort to oils, salts, extracts of roots, barks and other catnartics
which were found to be objectionable and to call for constantly
increased quantities.
Then physicians having learned that the most excellent laxative
and carminative principles were to be found in certain plants,
principally in the leaves, the California Fig Syrup Co. discovered
a method of obtaining such principles in their purest condition and
of uresentlnsr them with uleasant and refreshing liquids in the form
most acceptable to the system and the remedy became known as
Syrup of Figs as figs were used, with the plants, ia making it,
because of their agreeable taste.
This excellent remedy is now rapidly coming into universal use as the
best of family laxatives, because it is simple and wholesome and cleanses
and sweetens ihe system effectually without disturbing the natural
functions and. without unpleasant after effects and its use may be discon
tinued when it is no longer required.
All who would enjoy good health and its blessings should remember
that it is the one remedy which physicians and parents well-informed
approve and recommend and use and which they and their little ones
alike enjoy, because cf its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its
beneficial effects.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all reliable druggists, at the regular price
of fifty cents per bottle, is original packages only, having the name of
the remedy Syrup of Figs -and the full name of the Company
California Fig Syrup Co. printed oa the front of every package.
