"HE DAILY BRITISH WEIG, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20, 1992. MINERS, THEY SAY, WOUND THEIR OWN CLASS, S------ Fratricidal War--Victory May be Too Dearly Bought. 19.~One factor in is assuming greater importance every hour. The miners are engaged' in a great labor war, hey are attacking the coal owners. But are the shots they are firing damaging the enemy alone ? They are not; the enemy has not suffered much so far, but the friends of the miners-- their fellow trade unionists--are suffer- ing very much indeed. The shafts aim- ed at the employing classes have miss ed their mark, only to spread de struction among the other workers of the land, In all labour wars the capitalist classes suffer least. There may be an. noyance for them in the shape of de- clining dividends, or shrinkage in the value of investments, but they do not taste the bitterness of want and hunger; their necessities are not cur- tailed and few of their luxuries: In some labor wars, the sufferings are confined to the workmen, who are eén- gaged in them. In this one, the whole of the workers of the country are feel ing the pinch more or less severely. Every day the volume of evidence grows. From all parts of the coun: try comes the disquieting news that factories are being #hidt down, that works are being closed, until the tale of unemployment is running into mil- lions. There is one phase of this which ought to have an especial interest to If the many weeks other London, March the coal strike strike goes on for trade unions will find their funds seriously decreasing, although they have not the slightest interest in the side these things, when they ar wrangling over sixpemces with the coal owners. They are men, and the others who are suffering innocently are of the same class as themselves, Will not the story of what is going on around them--and which has been brought about by their action--make them pause before they give their voices in favor of prolonging this time of agony for so many hundreds of thousands of their fellows ? A vie tory may be dearly bought which is obtained at the cost of untold suf ferings on others who have no con- cern in the fight. PRINCE EDWARD SUBSIDY. Island Province to Get Additional $100,000. Ottawa, March 20.-Hon. W, T. White has given notice of a resolution upon which a bill will be based, pro- viding for the payment of an = addi- tional $100,000, subsidy to Prince Edward Island. Strong representations have been made to the government by Premier Ay J. Matheson that the present subsidy is ipadequate, that the province has been facing annual deficits and that the service beiwegen the island and mainland is insufficient and not such as was called for by the terms of confeder: When the health is run down from any cause whatever, a tonic is need- ed. A feeling of weakness, poor ap- pétite, Joss of breath after slight ex- ertion, indicates that a complete break- dispute, The railway servants unions; for instance, will play £20,000 in ont- | of-work pay this week, and that sum | will be increased to £30,000 next week. The Amalgamated Society of Engineers, the Boilermakers, the Steel | Smelters, the Patternmakers, Iron- | moulders, and kindred ions which | cater for industries entirely dependent | upon an abundant supply of coal, | are' also called upon to disburse thou- | sands a week in out-of-work pay. The | miners may conceivably win their} battle. Their victory may bankrupt | the other trade unions of the coun- | try. { the millions who LOW COAST RATES Daily March 1st to April 15th Stop-Over Privileges Full particulars at K. & P. snd C.P.R.

Out, lof the 11,000,000 workers in the country] | only aboul one seventh are organized. The other six-sevenths are all being hit to a greater or less extent by the present dispute. And it is hitting them in all sorts of ways, Prices are going up everywhere. The bakers have had to raise the price of bread in some towns because of the difficulty of get- ting coal for their ovens. From all parts of the country come these stories of privation inflicted upon the innoeent victims of the fratrical war, The 10,000 men employed in the docks at Cardiff may wish well to the Walsh colliery, but the battle for a minimum wage means for them mini- mum food and firing, and very soon no food nor firing at all, On the other side of the country, the Grimsby fishermen are standing idle on the quays, because there is little or no coal for the trawlers; and, in the same port, the dockers are hungering Phcause there are few cargoes for them to handle. The Grimsby Trades Coun- cil is moving to get the children fed ; for these the minimum applies to their bread and butter, which has well-nigh disappeared. From Sheffield comes the news that house coal has been advanced 4s. a ton, and the supply of electricity has heen cut off from 6.30 am. to 6 p.m. This means that numbers of small factories which depend for their power on electricity will have .to close. In other towns, public baths, also, are to be closed several days during the week. So the tale of want and privation rolls on from all parts of Great Brit- ain. There is scarcely a trade or in- dustry in the country, outside agricul ture, which is not feeling the pinch. In the Black country all the indus- tries are at a standstill. Blast fur. naces are being blown out--and once blown out experience shows that they are not lighted again in a hurry, The great clay and terra-cotta industries of North Wales have been closed. Iron and steel making has come to a complete stop. Lancashire will see short time on the textile trades be- fore this week is out. While as for the transport trades--whether the railways, carters, dockers, or steve- doves--they are rapidly dyihg away into stagnation and idleness. How can we measure that sum of human misery that all this entails up- on the workers of the land ? We can- not measure by statistios the number of children who will go hungry .to school this morning. We cannot! tabulate the list of homes where there is no fire in the grate nor any food in the cupboard. We can onlv stand appalled at the vast moun- tain of human suffering which over- shadows us, But we can ask the miners to con- Seriously "Annoying, but not dangerous," seems. to be the way many think of piles in the early stages. Bui gradu until they When the doctor is finally consulted he contiders the case wo seriou us that s to relieve and eure piles. Thai is by applying Dr. Chase's Ointient. The earlier you begin the use of this oint- ment the quicker the cure. But you need not be discouraged because you Ihave suffered for ten or fifteen years ($2 Tt would be dificult to imagine worse cases than have been cured by Dr. Ointment. Relief comes at cure is just as certain if you down is near. Sometimes these trou- bles are due to overwork or worry, or again they may be due lo the after ef- fects of fever or some wasting illness. But whatever the cause the trouble should not be neglected, and for the purpose of gaining new health and new strength there is absolutely no better medicine than Dr.. Williams' Pink Pills, which fill the veins with rich blood, which tones and strengthens every nerve and every or- gan in the body. Mrs. Rose A. Smith, Roblin, Man., says® vears ago I had a severe attack of typhoid fev- er. When | recovered sufficiently to be able to get about I found that I was not able to gather up my strength, 1 tried tonic wines and other medicines, without avail. For months | offld hardly go up stairs, and if 1 took a walk 1 was always obliged to take a friend with me to help me home again. A doctor had again been call- ed in, but he said 1 would grow out of it in time and gave me more medi- cine, but instead of gaining 1 kept gettingworse, and was at last obliged to take to my bed. One day while ly- ing reading 1 chanced to come across a cure made by Dr. Williams" Pink I'ills, and this decided me to try them. Before 1 had taken the pills long 1 began to feel a decided improvement and my friends also said I was begin- ning to look like my old self again. From this on the improvement was steady, but I continued to take the Pills for a couple of months, when 1 felt that the cure was complete. Sev- eral vears have passed since then and as I have remained in the best of héalth 1 am warranted in saying that the cure is . permanent, and I freely give this statement for the benefit it may bring to others." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all medicine dealers or may be had by mail at 50c, a box or six boxes for £2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. new, "Some bu LIVE STOCK MARKETS.

Matters Stand at United States, How Present in The conl situation and in the and miners February mitted nine demands to the coal oper- ators, including a twenty per cent. iu crease of wages, union recognition and an eight-hour working day. March 12-The coal operators form- ally rejected the demands and appoint- el a committee of ten to draft a re ply to the mine workers demanding that the existing contract be renewed for three years. immediately following this announce- ment the retail price of anthracite was advanced by dealers $1 to $2 a ton. Operators began the erection of barb- ed wire stockades and fences around their coal storages, breakers and ha- chine houses in the coal fields. March 14.--The mine workers' repre- sentatives 'drafted a reply to the op- erators' ultimatum, which was pre: sented Friday and which refused to en- tertain the counter proposal to renew the existing agreement. Conference on March: 15th adjourned without date on receipt of miné work- ers reply and farther negotiations were declared off, Operators issued no statement to the public in reply, fending their course. The policy committee of the United Mine Workers of America will meet in Cleveland, Ohio, March 25th, when a new agreement will be drafted and submitted to the operators, Existing agreement between opera- tors and mine workers expires at mid- night on March 31st, 1912 MANITOBA ¥ RENCH MEET. controversy between operators 0 ) a i I'he. mine workers sub- Will Consider Bilingual Schools and Union of Catholics, Winnipeg, March 20.---The general convention of Manitoba French-Cana- dians will take place at St. Boniface to-day.'

Poison Used as Wine at a Big Restaurant. ! A contributor the Vechernsya Vremya, St. Petersburg, describes one of the meetings of the "Friends of Death," a suicide league which is said {to have a large membership on St. | Petersburg. The meeting was held in {a house in the heart of the city. It | began early in the evening in order not to excite the attention of the po- | lice, and for the same reason the mem- bers arrived singly, and many went in 'by back entrance. The attendance in- {cluded men and women, young and jold. Several of the men were in uni Horm. The large meeting room was thickly carpeted, and heavy curtains masked {the windows. Over the door was the "inscription, "All hope abandon ve who jenter here." On the door itself two crossed scythes: were shown on a flam- ing red background. Portraits of Schopenhauer, Hartmann, and other apostles of pessimism were bung on the walls. There was also a large picture portraying the legendary dis- pute between life and death. A few candles gave the only light by which the proceedings were conducted. The president and, other committee men sat at a long table with black icloth, on which was the urn in which he suicidal lots are cast. Three {knocks from a hammer enveloped in {black cloth intimated that the meet- {ing was opened. The president began by expressing (sympathy with a member of the league |--a lady--who bad recently attempted suicide, but as yet without a fatal result, He added his fervent hope that she would meet the death she desired By way of endorsing his words, all those present rose in silence. { Another member said that happily the wound received by the lady was dangerous, and there was no hope of her recovery. i The greater {discussion turned to part of the subsequent on the question of devising original methods of suicide. It transpired that nine of the mem- | bers on whom the lot had fallen had | {previously sworn not to take their tlives in" commonplace conditions. Vari- {ous suggestions were made. The one {most favorably received was that a considerable portion of the members should commit suicide en masse, it be ing calculated that the sensation thereby produced would attract any number of recruils to the league. It was proposed that a dinner should be arranged at one of the fash ionable restaurants, and that the din- jers should swallow cyanide of potassi- rum out * of champagne glasses. Their 'funerals would be organized with great pomp, in order to affect impression- able people. The evening closed with the plaviog of a funeral march and a requiem composed by a member of the league who lately took his life.--Reuter. ------------n. AMMUNITIONS FOR REBELS Held Up at Mexican Border by Cas. toms. Washington, March 20 President Taft's proclamation prohibiting expor- tation of arm< to Mexico has begun to show effect. The war department's de spatches to-day told of many ship ments of guns and ammuaition"held up by customs officers. Some of the wea pons are doubtless for the use of Am ericans in Mexico, in which ease appli- cations to permit their exportation will be made. State department despatches tell of the apprehension of Americans in Mex: co City because of the skirmishes in the suburbs. The exodus of foreigners continues. . The Pope Was Grieved.
