FROM THE WORLD OF LABOR AND INDUSTRY Some Good Resolutions Cut These Out and Paste Them Up Where You will See Them Every Day, I will not be careless about my health.

I will avoid "Patent Medicines," "Cough Cures," and so called "Immediate Relief Remedies." I will remember that what is mistaken for relief is instead deadening of the nerves by the Opium and other Poisonous Drugs which the majority of them contain, which weaken the body while the disease remains and gets a stronger hold. That if it is a Cold or Grip, it usually turns into Pneumonia, because the drugs have robbed the body of strength and vital force the only power by which disease can be fought off and overcome.

I will remember that Father John's Medicine is neither a "Patent Medicine" nor a "Cough Syrup," and that it is all pure nourishment free from Opium, Morphine or other Poisonous Drugs. I will remember that Father John's Medicine builds up and makes strength, at the same time curing the cold and all throat and lung troubles. If I catch cold, I will not neglect it, but will ask my druggist for a bottle of Father John's Medicine and take it as directed.

W. OROVE'S signature on box. SALE BEGINS TUESDAY, JANUARY 2, 1906. Switchmen's Union of America has under way negotiations for an eight hour day, and an Increase in wages with all the railroads. They have received only 10 per cent.

Increase In wages during the last twenty one years. The men work all the way from 12 to 19 hours a day, and are especially anxious for a reduction In the number of working hours. The wages of switchmen range from $60 to $80 a month. A further conference of Pritlsh railway employes has been held, at which the question of amalgamating all sections into one great union was discussed. The Amalgamated Society of Locomotive Enginemen and Firemen's Executive Committee does not see its way clear to amalgamate.

On the contrary, it thinks that the best way is to combine in sections. Some of the more advanced men still hope for amalgamation. Carpenters' Union has grown wonderfully since 1904. There are now 1,759 local unions of the Brotherhood In the United States, Canada, Porto Rico and Hawaiian Islands, with a total membership of lfil.217. The benefits paid In the last fiscal year on 1510 claims amounted to $185,682.80.

The amount expended In support of strikes and lockouts during that period was $75,440.37. An event in trade unionism that Is believed to be without precedent has just occurred. In the reduction of per capita assessment for strike purposes by the American Flint Glass Workers' Union, which for years has been one of the strongest worklngmen'g organizations financially in the United States. PULL TEXT OF THE AWARD MADE. The following is the full text of the award of the arbitrators in the street car case: In Re: P.

J. Keegan and Martin Mc Gowan vs. The Scranton Railway company. These cases were submitted at the same time and the evidence was given at the same sittings of the arbitrators, and the award was in accordance with the views of the arbitrators as being in keeping with the spirit of the contract rather than in a technical construction of the same. The arbitrators are convinced that much of the contention in these cases is the result of misunderstanding and ill advised actions.

The rules in operation for the government of street car employes, known as the "Brown system," bind the company and its employes by an agreement duly signed and executed July 20, A. D. 1903. These rules are designed to promote and maintain a system which should inure to the benefit of the employes as well as the company, and to the good of the traveling public, but the trouble or misapplication of them, the penalties under them, and hasty words or acts on. the part of bosses or employes destroy their spirit and tend to render them ineffectual or It is without doubt the duty of the bosses to maintain and operate the system of management under these rules which the business of the company and the rights of the public require, and they should do so firmly but quietly, and without inducing anger.

The employes should accept whatever penalties may be Imposed for alleged infractions of rules, and they should seek relief, if they believe these inflictions to be unjust, in the way prescribed by the agreement, that is, by an appeal and hearing before higher authority. The arbitrators believe, from the evidence they heard in both cases before them, that the workmen were competent and temperate, and if any prejudice was left towards them, the evidence does not show it, but that fro quent absence from work in one case, and an angry determination and refusal to obey an order or an assignment without seeking a remedy by appeal in the other, and their consequences may have induced a belief of prejudice. The arbitrators therefore recommend that these men be reinstated in employment and that P. J. Kecgan's record be fixed with sixty days' suspension for insubordination.

Scranton, January 2, A. 1906. WM. CORLESS, J. H.

DEVINE, SAMUEL HINES, L. P. WEDEMAN, M. J. HOBAN, Arbitrators.

The sixty days' suspension does not menn that Keegan will be laid off, but that according to the Brown system, will have that many black marks. A GUARANTEED CURE FOR PILES Itching, Blind, Bleeding, Protruding Piles. Druggists are authoribed to refund money If PAZO OINTMENT falls to cure In 6 to 14 days. 50c. OF SISTERS BROKE LEG, One of tho Gregory Sisters, a trio of acrobats, who were at the Family theatre last week, had one of her legs fractured while rehearsing last week, and Doctor S.

P. Longstreet who put splints on the injured member stated this morning that she would be disabled for the balance of the season. The fracture Is midway between the ankle and the knee and both bones are broken. The young women were practicing. Tho one injured was aloft and the three were moving rapidly in a circle, when the hold of the woman on the floor slipped and her sister fell heavily.

She was the youngest member of the trio. ON Representatives of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and the Amalgamated Woodworkers will meet at Indianapolis, on January 28 for a conference with a view to arriving at a solution of the jurisdictional questions which have been causing so much trouble. Amalgamation Is looked upon as the one thing most desired, but in the event of failure along this line a working agreement will be sought which will eliminate future friction. Clgarmakera In Key West, have gone on strike in all but two factories as the result of a dispute in the manner of registering prices. A proposition concerning the matter made my the men was brought before the Manufacturers' Association, composed of nearly all the cigar manufacturers of Key West, and was rejected.

The manufacturers state they will never yield, if there Is never another cigar made in Key West. The executive board of the Western Federation of Miners has decided to submit a proposition to the unions to raise a fund of $1,000,000 with which to embark in the mining business on a co operative basis. The plan is said to have each member of the Federation contribute $10. One of the benefits of the plan, the committee believes, will be to give employment to members of the union who are deprived of work by reason of the card system In use in Colorado and other States. FUNERAL OF LATE E.E.

Very impressive were the funeral services conducted this afternoon over the remains of Common Councilman E. E. Robathan, who died at his home, 156 South Hyde Park avenue, Monday morning at 1:45 o'clock, after a heroic struggle with death. Two months ago the deceased was stricken with hemorrhages, which was followed with a severe attack of typhoid fever. Rev.

J. Cromwell Hughes, pastor of the First Welsh Baptist church, was the officiating clergyman, arl in his remarks he touched on the useful life of the deceased. A quartette from the First Welsh Baptist church sang several selections. The pall bearers were: John J. Davies, John II.

Phillips, George Marshall, James Atherton, William Luxemberger and Philip Williams. The flower bearers were: Sanford Phillips, Emrys Joseph. Lew Howell, Mr. McClellan, and Edward Oldorf. Delegations from the city councils were in attendance.

Interment was made In the Washburn street cemetery. Albert L. Lewis, Albert Davis, H. E. Paine, Daniel J.

Galvin and Louis H. Zimmer, constituted a committee from common council who' attended the funeral. The city council sent a beautiful floral chair. The chair was made of roses, carnations and fine flowers, and was an appropriate testimonial of the esteem in which he was held by his fellow councilmen. Colds Cause Sore Throat.

LITTLE LOCALS. Charles Walters, aged 21, of 326 Grove street, was slightly cut about the eyebrow this morning by being thrown from a wagon at the Linden street bridge. He was taken to the State hospital, and after the wound was dressed walked home. David Walsh, of 1419 Cedar avenue, was arrested last night at 7.30 at the instance of his wife. His case will come up for a hearing at 2 o'clock this afternoon.

John Polwsky, of Mayfleld, was arrested this morning near the barber shop of Jacob Hartman, corner of Beech and Cedar avenues, for drunk and disorderly conduct. He entered the barber shop and began making himself so disagreeable that he was forcibly ejected. On reaching the pavement, he continued his abuse of everybody In general, and a policeman was summoned to arrest him. His case will be tried this afternoon. District President T.

o1 A. J. McDonald Will Not Be a Candidate for Common Council In the Twentieth Ward. BOARD OF TRADE TO DINE. There will be only two candidates for common council before the primaries in the Twentieth ward, which are scheduled to be held one week from next Saturday, as it may be stated with almost absolute certainty that A.

J. McDonald, of Prospect avenue and Brook street, will not be a candidate. Mr. McDonald, when entering the lists for common council, did not give any thought to the future. He was employed as foreman at the Meadow Brook silk mill, and no doubt felt that he was permanently located.

Changes sometimes occur rather suddenly, and yesterday Mr. McDonald went to Jer myn, where he has secured a better position than one he formerly held. He may still claim a residence in the Twentieth ward, as it is his purpose at present to come home every Saturday night, but he realizes that serving the people as their councilman under these circumstances would be entirely out of the question. He is now employed at the Maxwell Throwing Mill. Mr.

McDonald is succeeded at the Meadow Brook mill by William Davis, son of Superintendent Edward Davis. TO HOLD BANQUET. The South Scranfon Board of Trade will celebrate its first anniversary by holding a banquet on the occasion of the next regular meeting, which will take place next Wednesday evening. At the last meeting of the organization, the question of holding such celebration was mooted and discussed, and then referred to the officers. The officers are a unit in favor of the proposition and will hold a meeting in the next few flays, for the purpose of completing arrangements.

The South Scranfon Board of Trade Is a vigorous infant, and the first year of its existence has been active and vigorous. The second year gives promise of being decidedly more so. The gathering of all the members about the social board, once a year, can not fail in producing an effect that will result in extending the scope of its activity and usefulness. PAINULLT INJURED. William Fritseh, an aged resident of Cedar avenue, was painfully injured yesterday.

Mr. Fritseh is father of Mrs. William Koch, and lives with Mr. and Mrs. Koch, Mr.

Fritseh stumbled when descending from the second to the first floor, and fell. Owing to his age, he could do nothing to save himself, and he continued until ho had reached the landing on the first floor, it will require a day or two to determine the exact extent of his injuries.
