LARGE FIRMS YIELD TO THE MEN Pittsburg Coal Company in Western Pennsylvania Turns the Tide lirt Fa­ vor of the Workers by Agreeing to P|»y 1903 Scale. .,iv! Indianapolis, April 2.--The indus­ trial struggle in the coal fields of the United States has begun. With few ". 5® ^exceptions the coal mines of the coun­ try, both anthracite and bituminous, will be shut down to-day. Careful es­ timates made by officials of the Unit­ ed Mine Workers of America place .the number of paen who remained away from the mines this morning at 400,000. The independent -operators in west­ ern Pennsylvania held a meetipg yes­ terday and decided to pay the in­ creased scale. The Pittsburg-Buffalo Coal company, the largest concern among the independents, Is ready to concede the increase and resume work. The others cannot hold out with the mines of the Pittsburg Coal company in operation. This elimi­ nates western Pennsylvania from the strike situation and means that 80,000 men will return to work within a day or two. Many Operators Will Sign. There probably will be no general tie-up In Indiana. At Vincennes the Prospect Hill Coal company has an­ nounced it will sign the 1903 scale- The operators at Blcknell, it was re­ ported last night, would follow suit, while at Evansville the Diamond, Worsham, New Burg, Evansville, Ban­ ner and Sunnyside Coal companies will sign and get to work as soon as possible. Dispatches from St. Louis last night said that the owners of the John Tay­ lor mine,, the largest in Sinclair coun­ ty, will sign the scale, as will all the other owners in the district. From various parts of the country the reports last night indicated that the suspension will be of short dura­ tion In many other bituminous fields. President John Mitchell of the Unit­ ed Mine Workers predicts a stampede of operators to sign the new scale. In Anthracite Fields. The outlook in the anthracite fields is not so bright. Yesterday special police were hurried by the railroad companies to many of the mines for the purpose of protecting such work­ men as wanted to enter the shafts this morning. The officials of the miners' organiza­ tion, however, predict that the anthra­ cite miners will obey the orders to suspend almost to a man. Many for­ eign miners were reported to be leav­ ing the anthracite fields yesterday in the belief that the suspension will last all summer. To-morrow a meeting will be held in New York between the anthracite op­ erators and the scale committee ap­ pointed by the Shamokin convention. Until it Is over no one can tell whether the suspension in the anthracite fields will assume the proportions of a strike. To-day it is merely a suspen­ sion. Before the end of the week it may be a strike in the fullest meaning of the word. Jo-day the Michigan miners will hold their district convention, and re­ ports indicate that an agreement cov­ ering the 3,000 men in that state will be reached with the operators at the advanced scale. Dispatches last night showed that within the next few days an agreement covering the state of Iowa also probably will be reached. There are about 14,000 miners in Iowa. Three' States Stand Firm. In Ohio, Indiana and Illinois the op­ erators are likely to remain firm "for some time, though officers of the miners' union profess to believe other­ wise. To-morrow the Illinois Coal Operat­ ors' Association will hold a meeting in Chicago. It Is not considered likely that there will be any weakening in Illinois for some time. , It is the stronghold of thle organized operators and also of the organized miners. There are more differences at issue in Illinois than in any other state and the fight is likely to be sharper and of longer duration. The suspension in Illinois will be al- 'most complete. There are onlv two non-union mines in the state, those controlled by Leiter at Zieglor and the Brush mines in Williamson county. It is considered not unlikely that efforts will be made by the men to stop the Brush mines. It Is not expected by the operators that there will be any vio­ lence in connection with the strike, and the officials of the Illinois miners are quite as anxious that the laws shall be observed, but if trouble should oc­ cur It will be at the Brush mines.

WILL PROVIDE I Friends of Hepburn-Dolliver Bill Seek to Frame Proper Amendment DOES NOT ALLOW INJUNCTIONS Temporary Restraining Orders Give Way to New Rule Giving Rate Cases Preference and Advancing Them for Immediate Hearing. Washington dispatch: It being practically assured that a majority of the senate favors some affirmative declaration of the court review prin­ ciple in order to remove all doubt as to the constitutionality of a rate reg­ ulation act, the friends of the Hep­ burn-Dolliver bill are bestirring them­ selves to frame and present an amend­ ment that will meet the necessities of the situation. Persons who took a prominent part in drafting the bill passed t»"y the house and reported by the senate com­ mittee on interstate commerce have drawn a tentative court review amend­ ment, which now is ̂ under considera­ tion by Senator Dolliver and other friends of the legislation, both repub­ licans and democrats. The object, it Is declared, is to place the amending of the bill in this most important par­ ticular directly in the hand^ of its friends, and circumvent the purpose of those whose intention has been and is to incorporate in the measure a provision that will vest in the courts the power and charge them with the duty of revising the judgment of the interstate commerce commission.

The tentative amendment follows: "Any party to a proceeding before the commission against whom an or­ der .of the commission, other than for the payment of money, shall be di­ rected, may at any time bring and maintain a suit in equity against the commission as defendant in the cir­ cuit court of the United States for the district in which the principal operat­ ing office of the party plain­ tiff is situated (or in case of joint parties plaintiff, in the district in which the principal operat­ ing office of either is situated) to en­ join, set aside, annul or suspend such order upon the ground that in making such order the commission exceeded its jurisdiction or that such order does or would deprive such party of any right guaranteed by the constitu­ tion of the United States, and not oth­ erwise. "The said court shall proceed to hear and determine the matter speed­ ily and without the formal pleadings and proceedings applicable to ordinary suits in equity, upon such short notice to the commission as it may deem rea­ sonable, and such notice shall be served, with a copy of the petition, upon the secretary of the commission or any member thereof, in such man­ ner as the court may direct. For all purposes of such suit the court shall be deemed to be always in session. In such court the case shall be given precedence over all others of a dif­ ferent kind or nature, and In every way expedited, both in hearing and determination. There shall be pr«a- sented with the plaintiff's petition a certified copy of the decision and or­ der of the commission pertaining to jthe said cause.

Cannot Restrain Commission. "No temporary restraining order or interlocutory injunction shall be granted by the fourt suspending, set­ ting aside, or* affecting any rate, charge, rule or regulation which has been published by the carrier or car­ riers and which is in effect in obed­ ience to the order of the commission, nor shall any other order of the com­ mission be at any time suspended tem­ porarily during the pendency of the proceedings in court except upon rea­ sonable notice to the commission and opportunity to be heard. "If it shall appear to the court that any plaintiff in such cause has with­ held or failed fairly to present to the~ commission any evidence or other matters which could and should rea­ sonably have been presented to the commission in the proceeding before it, the court may dismiss the cause as to such plaintiff. "The commission may file a cross bill in such cause to enforce the order called In question, and the court shall have power to hear and determine the same and to bring in such additional parties as may seem necessary or proper to a complete and final deter­ mination of the cause. The territorial jurisdiction of the court in such cause with respect to its process and to parties shall be coextensive with the territory of the United States., "In every such cause an appeal from the decree of the circuit court shall lie only to the supreme court, -and must be taken within thirty days from the entry thereof.

It made me nervous, disordered my digestion, destroyed my sleep and brought on frequent and very distress­ ing headaches. "When I got what the doctor called a 'coffee jag* on, I would give up drinking It for a few days till my stomach regained a little strength, but I was always fretful and worried- and nervous till I was able to resume the use of the drug. "About a year ago I was persuaded tp try Postum, but as I got it in res* taurants it was nothing but a sloppy mess, sometimes cold, and always weak, and of course I didn't like it.
