OFFER OF
It]: Reported That ItinidNot MeetWith
Approval of the -M.inere .and Was .Re-
Jected—Machine Mining :Rate
the Stumbling Block. .
Columbus, 0., Sept. 4.—Separate ses-
sions were held by the national execu-
tive board of the miners and the com-
mittee of the Pittsburgcperators. Both
meetings were of .an informal nature,
but that of the miners’ board was im-
portant. The members agreed (to reject
the proposition of the operators. It ap—
pears that the price to be paid for ma-
chine mining is the principal stumbling
block. The operators Offer to .pay only
one-half of the price on .pick mining for
machine mining, and the miners de-
mand two-thirds. Were this objection
disposed of it is doubtful, .however,
Whether the other differences could be
settled, The miners will offer no coun-
ter proposition, and the --.operators’ com-
mittee isnot empowered to make a new
one.
Another joint conference will :be held
today, and both operators and miners
will endeavor to arrive at a more per-
fect understanding of just what each
side demands. ‘
, De Armitt’s Position.
' Pittsburg, Sept. L—The settlement of
the coal strike on the basis of the prop-
osition now under consideration at Co-
lumbus would have no effect upon the
future action of the New 'York and
Cleveland Gas Coal company, accord-
ing to the ‘statement of President De
Armitt. He said today:
“Even if the great bituminous coal
strike is settled in evel‘y state and dis-
trict involved, and all the strikers re-
turn to work pending arbitration on a
new price, the miners of the New York
and Cleveland Gas Coal company will
;still have to fight it out with the com-
‘ pany and return to Work to carry out
the contract legally signed and accept-
ed by the workmen.”
In the last great strike De Armitt's
employees were induced to join the
strikers, and ‘it was three months after
the strike was settled before the miners
of the New York and Cleveland com-
pany returned towork at the same price
they were receiving when they quit.
President De Armitt'figures that the
strike has so far cost the miners of the
country $8,000,000. He based this state-
ment upon the supposition that 100,000
men were out and that they averaged
:10 per week. His men have forfeited
$15,000 in wages to the company by
breaking their contracts.
The fight of the De Armitts against
the miners has also been a very costly
one. Already about $11,000 has been
spent by the New York & Cleveland
Gas Coalcompany for wages and board
of deputy sheriffs.
Marcher-s Defy Deputies.
A body of strikers was stopped by
deputies today while marching to Cen-
ter. The men were in squads of twos
and threes, but a crowd of ‘75 soon col-
lected, and when the order was given
by John McGuire, the leader, a rush
was made and they went through in
spite of the deputies.
A short, sharp scufile ensued. but no
further opposition was made by‘the
deputies, and the men marched on. The
campers at Plum Creek discovered a
spy in their midst, and he was quickly
drummed out of camp to the tune. of
"The Rogues’ March."
Colonel Rand’s miners at McDonald,
' Pa., will not go back at the terms of-
fered by him yesterday. The commit—
tee appointed to present his ultimatum
to the men reported today that meet-
ings were held last night and it was
decided to accept no rate except 69
cents and not to work for that price un-
less all other mines do the same. The
miners and their committee were unani-
mous in this, and say that all talk of
gidng to work on any other basis is
useless. '
Another Injunction.
Fairmont, W. Va... Sept. 4.—-Another
injunction was issued against the strik-
ing miners yesterday, and notices were
served here to prevent the strikers from
trespassing on mine property or in any
manner interfering with those who are

He is now Cured, and He Thanks God
and P. P. P., Lippman’s Great Rem-
edy, For it.
Mr. George Briggs, of Moore. Okla.,
suffered almost indescribable torment
for three long years. Neuralgia held
him captive. The right side of his face
was so badly affected thatthe slightest
touch would cause the unfortunate
man intense agony. For several weeks ‘
he could open his mouth just wide
enough to be fed with. liquid nourish-
ment, and in this manner life was sus-
tained. Read the following extract
from his letter: “Truth is stranger
than Fiction.”
NEURALGIA, CATARRH AND RHEUMA-
TISM COMPLETELY CURED.
George Briggs, of Moore, Oklahoma.
writes that P. P. P., Lippman’s Great
Remedy, cured him of catarrh, facial
neuralgia and rheumatism, after three
years of intense suffering. The pain
lay in his cheek bone and temple, down
the right side of his face, along his
upper lip, and from the slightest touch
l he suffered agonies for weeks ata time.
Could only open his mouth wide enough
to admit a teaspoon, and any acid in
his food would put him in torture. He
had a consultation of the best pliysi‘
cians in Texas, but all to no purpose.
Cai-arrh and rheumatism were also
causing him much trouble, until he
tried P. P. P. He says he is well and
will swear that there are no cases of
neuralgia, catarrh and rheumatism, ,
no matter how chronic or how old the
cases are, that. P. P. *P. will not make
a total cure of. '
Mr. Briggs winds up his testimony
by saying he thanks‘God and our med-
icine, P. P. P., Lippman’s Great Rem-
edy,for the great cure.
Kidney troubles, if neglected, bring
about serious and painful and very
oft-an fatal results. P. P. P. removes
the irregularities, and cures the dis-
eased parts.
Dyspepsia and indigestion, skin and
blood diseases, can be speedily removed
by l’. P. P., Lippman‘s Great. Remedy.
Ladies, take P. P. P. and rid your
face of pimples. blotches. freckles,
yellow or muddy skin, wrinkles and
vulgar redness.
