This Action Will End Strike in That State For the Present STRIKE IN PfNNA. IS UNDECIDED (Special to The Republican.) Chicago, Nov.

5. Predictions that thousands of striking miners in Indi ana and Ohio will resume work on Monday, were made today as a result of the federal court of appeals in Chicago ordering a rehearing On the temporary injunction issued by Judge Anderson at Indianapolis last Monday. The court of appeals suspended that part of Judge Anderson's injunction which abolished the checkoff system of collecting union dues, which is the keystone of the whole union miners' structure. Uncertain About Strike. Pittsburg.

Win Appeal Halting Injunction. Chicago. Nov. 5. The United States circuit court of appeals late yesterday temporarily set aside Federal Judge Anderson's injunction restraining coal mine operators from continuing the "check off" system.

The injunction had threatened to precipitate a nation wide miners' strike. All miners of Indiana already have gone out in protest against the injunction, and miners in other states were preparing to go out after their next pay day. November 16 yesterday was set as the date to hear arguments on making permanent the order setting, aside Judge Anderson's injunction, issued in federal court in Indianapolis last Monday. W. A.

Glasgow, of Philadelphia, as counsel for the union, said the injunction was a virtual demand Vhat a legal contract be broken. He said the check off was a matter of contract between the miners, locals and operators with the consent of the individual miner. Mr. Glasgow said it was beyond the power of the international union to prevent disturbances by locals and said it was his belief an immediate appeal hearing of the litigation was the only means of averting interruption of the regular supply of coal." Judge Baker said the court thought November 1G would meet the exigencies of the situation, and Mr. Glasgow agreed.

WaLon went right ahead with more new charges. He said an affidavit charging that bodies of four negro soldiers were found with ropes tied around their necks when they were dug up in one cemetery in France, will be presented to the inves tigating committee Monday. "In the case of these four men my evidence tends to show they were hanged without trial and that an effort was made to cover up," Watson said. Continuing he declared that he had evidence that is unequivocal, disclosing Instances of officers and places connected with the outrages against American soldiers in France. The most startling is that concerning the four bodies with ropes around them.

Watson said. The man who gave such evidence re turned from France two weeks ago and is now in Washington. In France he was engaged in preparing Yanks' bodies for shipment home. "The bod ies were dug up in the cemetery at Bazoilles and there is still a scaffold on a hill nearby large enough to hang three soldiers at a time, my witness tells me," Watson shouted. Another man wrote Wa'tson that lie taw a man taken from a hospital and hung right on the grounds on a cold bitter morning within sight tf the pa tients in the hospital.

J. Shriver blacksmith shop on East Main street, Kersey. With the exception of a brother, said to live at Sheffield, he has no relatives living in this section. The body was discovered by Mr. Shriver yesterday morning about 7 o'clock.

He was working about the front of the blacksmith shop when he happened to look through the window of the tailoring establishment and spy Lindgreen's remains hanging from a rack. No specific reason for the man's act in destroying his own life can be advanced except that be was seized with the desire to end all while In a fit of despondency. Residents of Kersey noticed that Lindgreen had been drinking heavily the past few months. It Is supposed that the poisonous moonshine that he had been imbibing had unbalanced his mind. The body wai viewed by Dr.

E. V. Flynn, who, acting In the capacity of deputy coroner, decided that death was due to strangling through his own act. The remains are now at the undertaking establishment at Kersey and It Is probable that burial will be made there today. It Is reported on good authority that this Is the second case of a tailor committing suicide at Kersey within the past 20 years.

Factories Making And Selling Glass in Large Quantities AMERICAN IS MAKING A NEW CHEAP GRADE National Glass Budget: The vol ume of business during the last week in the window glass industry has continued up to or beyond expectations, so far as demand is concerned. Both hand and machine plaints that are operating continue to get out large production which in turn is being shipped promptly to jobbers and dealers who, in all parts of the country are said to have lowei shocks than at any other time during" the past decade. Business is said to be booming in the east.

Jobbers report that there has never been a more active demand for glass than at present. Conditions in the Chicago market, however, are somewhat different, stocks are low and there is not the demand there should be. The failure of certain branches of organized labor to abide by tfie suggestion of Judge Landis tendiri'g to wards lower labor cost in building con struction, has acted as ajdaiper on the industry in. that city. If the workmen would fall in jihe and, forget war time wages Chicago, it is said, would soon be in bnej of jts 'greatest 'building eras ever experienced.

Consider able shj(all is being imported iu iu racing coasi siaies. inquiries among plate glass manu indicate; that iri addition to thf'cood domestic demand that there 'quite a fair call for export. Japan, spite of its unsettled conditions, is placing large orders for plate glass in this country. New business is also reported in fair quantities from Ar Australia and other markets. Under date of November 1.

the Am erican Window Glass Co. issued tho following circular announcing a new grade of glass to be known as Fourth Quality. Their announcement, which self explanatory, follows: Dear Sirs: We herewith announce to the trade that we have decided to market a limited amount of our pro duction of single strength and double strength window glass in all sizes in ourth quality. In arriving at, this decision, we have been influenced by the necessity ot having a grade of glass to compete with the poorer grade of window glass now being imported into this country, and one which we can afford to scil at a lower price than our quality. Fourth Quality glass, as its designa tion indicates, will be one grade lower than our own quality, but will, nev ertheless, be an entirely merchantable article.

By comparison with the glass of some of our competitors, it will be equal to their quality, and will not contain any defects that will cause breakage. It should not be confused with quality, as now known to tho trade, but will be a better grade of glass, being an intermediate grade be tween the present grade of quality and quality. The word "Fourth" (Continued on page four) 0 ARE TO BE ELIMINATED Harrisburg, Nov. 3.

THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA. ATTEST: W. D. B.

A1NEV, JNO. C. HAPWOOI), Acting Secretary. Chairman. CAN ANYONE FIND ANY REFERENCE IN THESE ORDERS REQUIRING THE WATER COMPANY TO PURCHASE HOUSE METERS? The borough of Kane paid approximately $3,800 as the expenses of the litigation, and the final order of the commission of June 21, 1920, provided that $4,000 of the water company's expenses of the litigation should be collected from the consumers.

Incidentally, the amount which the borough paid for water for lire hydrant purposes was increased from $2,250 a year to $4,500 a year, and the contract, dated July 7, 1909, under which the borough received water at $2,250, and which otherwise would have run until January 1, 1928, was terminated. Now if this highly efficient guardian of the taxpayers interests, who is a candidate for re election to the office of burges3, actually thinks the water company was ordered to purchase house meters, why has he allowed sixteen months to elapse without even an inquiry as to why the water company has not complied with what he maintains was the commission's order?
