DEMANDS HELD UNJUST Peace Terms Allow No Rec ognition of Union, EIGHT HOURS IMPRACTICABLE Leniler of Mine OpernfoM Holds the 12arnlnga of the Men Are Not Less Than Callings Rcanlrlnj? Eciual Skill unci Training?. BAER'S REPLY IX A NUTSHELL. The demand for 20 per cent increase in wages is arbitrary, unreasonable-and unjust. Lcrs than a 10rhour day is neither practicable nor desirable. The rate of wages la not lower than In other sections. The earnings of the men are not lew than in other cslllncs requiring equal skill and training. Employes of economic habits have been able to save money. Children are not prematurely forced into the breakers, instead of being sup ported and educated on the earnings of their parents. , The terms of arnolntmcnt of the. peace commission preclude the United Mlneworkcrs of America from any rec ognition. WASHINGTON. Nov. 11. President Ber. of the Philadelphia & Readirg Coal & Iron Company, has filed with the Anthracite Coal Strike Comnilsalon the reply of that company to the statement made b3r tfohn Mitchell, president of the Mlneworkcrs- of America, concerning the points Involved In the anthracite "coal strike. Following Is the full textpf Mr. Baer's statement: "To the Anthracite Coal Strike Comm'e eicn: The Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Company, replying to the demands of John Mitchell, representing certain an thracite mlnexvorkers. says: "First That it owns 37 colllerira situ ated in the Counties of Schuylkill. North umberland and Columbia, and that it did operate, previous to" the strike inaugu rated by the United Mlneworkcrs of America. S3 collieries and four washeriro, and that at that time it had 20,823 em ployes in and about the mines. IHprner Wapc Demand. Arbitrary. "Second The first demand for '20 per cent increase upon the price paid during the year liWl to emploj'os performing contract or piece work is arbitrary, unreasonable and unjust. This company denies there is such similarity between the mining of bituminous and of anthracite coal as to make wage? paid in one a standard for the other. It livers that the bituminous fields extend over- many states of the Union; that they differ widely in the physical and local trade conditions, which largely con trol wages: that the work of mining an thracite ccal io not substantially similar work to the mining of bituminous coal. and. making all neccosary allowances fcr differences in conditions, it denies that the rate of wages in the mines operated by this company is lower than that paid In the bituminous coal fields, whose coal out put competes actively with the products of thi company s mines. I'ny Xot Less Trfinn at Other Mine? "Third This company denies that the present rate of wages Is lower than is paid In other mines In the same locality and controlled by like conditions. This com pany is not informed as to the average annual earnings In the bituminous coal fields, but It avers that nearly all of Ita, former employes who during the past five months worked in the bituminous mines have returned t6 the anthracite coal re gions. prc-fciring to work in the anthracite mines. And it further avers that the an nual earnings of the anthracite mlnework ors are largely reduced by their refusal to work as many days as it is customary to work in other occupations, and" that by reason thereof this company is subjected to great loss, and the cost of producing coal is largely increased, and the annual earnings of its employes diminished. "Fourth Tills company denies that the average annual earnings of the men work ing full time in the anthracite coal fields are leira than the r.yernge annual earnings of occupations requiring equal skill and training. ' "Fifth This- company denies thit 'the rate of wages In the anthracite coal fields isinpufilcient to compensate the mlnework crs, in view of the dangerous character of the' occupation in relation to accidents, liability to serious and permanent disease, tho high death rate and the short trade life Incident to this employment.' Region Generally Prosperous. "Sixth This company avers that, while the sixth, specification Is too general and vague for specific answer thereto. It' Is true that the anthracite coal region, al mostly entirely dependent upon the an thracite mining Industry, Is one of the most prosperous In the United States, and that the employes of economic habits have saved and invested their, earnings In houses, building associations and other property, and that deposits In savings, state and National hanks aggregating mil lions of dollars have been made by such employes;" that the standard of living is equal to that of the average American workman, and that the" towns and cities are better than any mining tdwns In the bituminous coai fields of the United States. "This company denies that the alleged. Increased cost of living has made it impos sible to maintain a fair standard of life upon the basis of the present wagps, or to secure any benefit from Increased pros perity, and that the condition of the work man is poorer on account of IL Education in Reach of All. "This company further denies that 'the children of the anthracite mineworkers are prematurely forced Into the breakers and mills instead of being supported and edu cated upon the earnings of their parents, because of the low wages of such parents,' cr that such wages are below the fair and just earnings of mlneworkcrs In this In dustry. It avers that the State of Penn sylvania makes large annual appropria tions to e:hools, and that the school dis tricts levy local taxes for school pur poses; that textbooks are supplied from public funds, and that the laws provide for compulsory attendance at public schools. .Jn the County of Schuylkill this company paid for school taxes in the year 13G1 $S0, 000. The local-school boards are elected by the qualified voters of the townships, bor oughs and cities. The means of education provided by the state, through Its system of free schools and compulsory attendance, are not fully utilized because of the failure of local school boards to enforce comDul- . oary attendance, but the--wages paid are ample to Insure a Rood ccrnmon school education for all children In the coal re gions desiring to. attend school. - Child Labor Lawn Obeyed. "No boys are employed In and about the mines and breakers In violation of the statutes fixing the -ages of employment. In addition to provisions for education, ample hospitals for the care of the sick and injured are maintained In the anthra cite coal reglono. This company avers that there Is not anywhere else In the world a mining region -where the workmen have so many comforts, facilities for education, general advantages and such profitable cm- pjoymenu "Seventh This company denies that the vVnr1 1nman1 ' 'fny o rixlnntlnn nt 1 TlOf ! second demand.' 'for a reduction of 20 per cent of hours of labor without any reduc tion In earnings for all employes by the hour, day or week. Is either just Xr equita ble, and avers that the reaoons asrfgned In support of the demand are Impracticable In s far as they relate to the mining of anthracite coal. The certified miners, un der present conditions, seldom work eight hours a day. The greatest cost in the pro duction and preparation of anthracite coal for market Is not in the cutting of tne coal. Many employes are paid by the month, the pumping continues day and night, the machinery is expensive, and the cost of coal la largely conditioned on the PRESIDENT OF-AMERICAN MYIIOX J. HEIUUCK, collieries running full time. The output is entirely dependent on -the-quahiiy- of ccal a certified miner Is willing to cut dally, and because of this it Is seldom practica ble to work the breaker full time. Ten-Hour- Dny Not Too Long. "In general we deny, in so far as relates to anthracite mining, 'that the 10-hour day Is detrimental to the healthy life of the mineworkers; that shorter hours improve the phye'.cal, moral and mental conditions of the v.orkers. and that shorter hours In crease the intensity and efficiency of Hbor.' Wo admit that the tendency of National and state governments and of labor organ izations is toward shorter hours, "but deny that a working day of -Ies3 than 10 hours will be of real advantage to the workmen engaged in and about the anthracite mines and collier! ca Tn exhausting work a day of 10 hours . is too long, but there i3 no exhausting labor which justifies a reduc tion of hours of work in the anthracite coal mine?. "Any increase In wages will necessarily increase'' the price of coal to the public restrict Its use, and seriously affect the ability of the Industries using bituminous coal; It will bear heavily .on tho workmen and necessarily oppress the general pub lic and Injure .the general, business of the country. Because of the injury to the mlnoa Vii. Vitt etrlVa nf tVln ITnitorl ATinO- rlriri Amprlra- tbi rnst of nrodueins I coal has been greatly increased, and a temporary advance in price was made by this company, but it will be Impracticable to continue such Increase when mining op erations become normal. No Tiouble About Wciffhlnp; of Conl. "Eighth This company, replying to the j third demand, eiys it haa had no disagree- ! ment with any of Its employes about the weighing of coal. The quantity Is mjjolly determined by measurement. When coal Is mined by the ten. It is, customary and necessary to make allowances lor slate and impurities. But this comnany does not mln& OV the ton. It den'CO that thrrcl Is-anything unreasonable or unfair In tho method it haa practiced in arriving at he j measurement or coal irom its mines. . "Nbitli This company; replying to the fourth demand, says, that the United Mine workers of America are primarily a bitu minous coal organization; that bituminous, I coal Is a rival competitor in the market with anthracite coal; that ever since the advent of the United" Mlneworkcrs of America In the anthracite fields the busi ness conditions in the anthracite mines have become intolerable; that the output of the mines has decreased, discipline h's been destroyed; strikes have been of al most dally occurrence; men have worked when and as they pleased, and the ccot of mining has been greatly increased. At the Shamokln convention of the United Mlnc workeru of America, referred to In the statement. It was resolved: " 'Tha the United Mlneworkcrs at any colliery, when the employes refuse to be come members of the organization or wear the button, the local governing such cc! llerj after using all persuprtve measures to get such employes tojoln, and falling In trjch, shall have full power to suspend full operation at such colliery until such employes become members of the organi zation.' Inauguration Of the Strllcc. "Subsequently, towlt, on May 12. the United Mineworkers of America inaugu rated a strike, and by threato and-intimidation caused a suspension of work at all mines. Under date of May 21 they Issued a formal official order requiring all pump men, firemen and engineers to desert their posts of duty, with Intent to force submis sion to their unjust demando by the de struction of the amines. By threats and violence they tried to prevent other men from taking the places of the firemen, pumpmen and engineers. The said United Mlneworkcrs of America well knew that If this company did not sneered in keeping tho pumpn going, the mines wpuld be so. greatly injured that It would be impossible to mine coal for many months ,after the "strike ended; and that by reason thereof the workmen of the, anthracite fields would be deprived of employment and thiepubli: be made to suffer untold hardship because of the inability to' produce fuel. - "In obedience to the power expresfly given by the Shamokln convention, to sus pend operations at such collieries until such cmDlovcs become members of the or- j ganizationat all manner of force and vio lence were used to prevent pumping of the mines to save them from destruction and to,, prevent nonunion men from working. The situation is well described, in the proc lamation of the Governor of the State of Pennsylvania, to which we beg to refer as part of this answer. This company "avers rthat these acts of intimidation to person, Injury to peraan and property and disturb ance of the public peace were contrary to the law of the land. Union. -Cannot Be Recognized "This company, further answering, avers that the Jurisdiction of this commission 13 limited to the conditions named in the statements of the coal company presidents by virtue of which the commission was n Tl ru- 1 n t 1 anrf that hv OTTjrPPS tPfmS AS appolnted, and that by express terms as well as by necessary implication the in vestigation is confined to matters affect ing its employes, and precludes the United Mineworkers of America from any part or any recognition in the proceedings, recom mendations or decisions of this commis sion. "Further answering, it says that If and when a labor organization limited to work ers in anthracite mines is created, which shall obey the law of the land, respect the .right of every man to work, whether he belongs to a union or not, and shall hon estly co-operate with the employers in se curing good work, efficiency, fair produc- BANKERS' ASSOCIATION.

"And. further answering., the company says 'It does..not and will not discriminate againrt workmen belonging to the United Mineworkers of America, or any other la bor organization, so long as they perform satisfactory work and behave as law-abiding people should, but that the company will at all times employ any person It sera fit, and will not permit any labor organiza tion to doubt the right of employment to the members of its organization.

A WARNING IN LATE ELECTIONS Indorsement of Roosevelt Means Leas Strength for Dcet-Snjrar Octopus, and Its President Already Shows He Realizes as Much. OREONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Nov. 11. Oxnard Is here already fighting Cuban reciprocity. He and. other beet-sugar advocates recognize that In a treaty with Cuba sugar is likely to be given 3Qpcr cent, instead of the 20 per cent carried in the bill, which failed at tho last session. As this treaty does not have to go to the House, it will require simply two-thirds of the Senate to put It through, and the hearty indorsement which has been given the President In the late elections will probably end a great deal of the opposition, that was displayed at the last session. If the friends of Cu ban reciprocity insist upon action, they can keep the treaty before the Senate to the exclusion of all 'other business, and so pass it in spite of the opposition that may be engaged. He Oxnard Interests have begun their campaign early, a they did before the last session, but they are not so arrogant as ,they were a yiar ago, as they know what It Is to encounter the determination of the President to carry out what he be lieves to be justice to the Cubans. DUE TO ROOSEVELT. Dnbol .Say Irrigation Rill Provetl (he Dcr.th BIoiv to Democrncy. OREGON l AN NEWS .BUREAU, Wash ington, Nov. Jl. Fred Dubois attributes Republican success in the Mountain States to the enactment of the Irrigation law. He says President Roosevelt was "given credit for It, and was entitled to the credit of recommending and urging the passage of the law, although it was passed in the House by Democratic votes. Still, the Democrats could not convince the people of the West that anybody but Roosevelt was responsible for that law, and the Re publican vote was an indorsement of the President's policy., ' Dubois declares that National Issues played no part whatever in the Mountain States, and says that the Republican plat form, with Its Indorsement of tariff re vision, was simply a humorous feature of the campaign. He does not think Re publican success Is at all permanent, but says when the people find that they are not going to get large amounts of money out of the Treasury under the Irrigation law, which . they now expect, they will return to the Democratic party. At pres ent every county, according to the Sena tor, thinks it is going to get a large share of. money, of which there is only $9,000,000 available for Irrigation purposes. This amount, he, says, will not spread over all the territory that expects It. v : S DEMOCRATS WANT NEW LEADER. Li'nd, Might Win if He Had Not Just Come Over From Republicans. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. Nov. 11. The Democratic party has got tired of Its so-called leaders on the floor of the House, and may call another man. George B.

Already there Is talk" of John Llrid, Just elected in the Minneapolis dis trict.
