WHY LABOR OBJECTS
Barons' Peace Plan Gives It
No Recognition.
MITCHELL ADVISED TO ACCEPT
His Friends Hold the Impending
Coal Famine Will TV'ot Permit of
Any Quibbling: Over Details
Roosevelt Commended.
OREGON! AN NEWS BUREAU. "Wash
ington, Oct. 14. The miners and the men
who speak for them are disposed to find
Saws In the peace proposition of the mine
operators. Nearly the entire force of the
criticism Is directed against the method
prescribed for the appointment of the
commission, because labor is not recog
nized, but every one agrees that Presi
dent Roosevelt will appoint. a commission
that will be absolutely fair. The restric
tions are not sufficient to prevent him
from selecting men who will do justice to
the miners, and the mention of names like
Carroll D. Wright, Jacob Rils and John
M. Wilson, who are suggested as prob
able members of the arbitration commis
sion, is a guarantee that men of sterling
Integrity will -be selected. The fault found
by the miners is not with the restrictions
as to the commission, but that the opera
tors Insist that nonunion men shall have
an opportunity to work.
The best friends of President Mitchell
are advising him to accept the terms, as
public sympathy, in view of the Impend
ing coal famine, will not be with any set
of men who quibble over the strike settle
ment. Commendations of the part that
President Roosevelt has played In the
matter still continue, and It is evident
that he has made himself very strong be
fore the people by his determination to
bring about a settlement if possible.
Representative Hull, vice-chairman of
the Republican Congressional Committee,
was in Washington today, and thinks that
If there Is a settlement of the strike there
QW111 be no trouble about carrvlnir the
House. The Democrats have been making
capital out of the strike all along, and It
woum have Its Influence If continued for
another three weeks, as cold weather is
closing down. Hull says they have had
an uphill campaign, first with the Hender
son declination, and, second, with the
coal strike. He thinks a settlement of the
strlKe will restore politics to their original
condition.
GRANT THE FRANCHISES.
A Cftlxen Thinks Street-Railways
Are Eratltled to Consideration.
,?TISD' ct- Htto the Edltor.)
In The Oregonlan of October 7 there ap
pears a communication from C. E. S
SSi nn7? h w03"3 Upon the Common
petitions for franchises for street rail
ways now before that body until such a
i??JL the J5roDosea new city charter
tfrL TJmeieratlve- He also explains
SS Ith? different sections of the pro
posed charter relating to the granting of
franchises for street railways. He opfnes
that the alleged haste of the comS
now asking for a franchise is to aSSd
these conditions. To any one who has
looked over these sections and gTven the
Son er.atnyh0Ught there can no Sues!
L?orrectnes3 of this view of
the matter. The conditions as set forth
are such that It is small wonder those who
rt? k JnVe8t thelr canltal apply
them bU3ine3s enerS. would like to avoid
Sometimes I wonder if we are not too
severe on corporations and others who
ask favors of the public. In The Ore-,
gcmlan dispatches, October 9. on page 8
Mr. Herbert Vreeland, the great street
railway man of New York City, at the
convention of street-railway men held
at Detroit, says we are-that we invariably
side against the corporation, and that it
Is considered good policy to "cinch" the
company.
Mr. Wood admits that the street-railways
are very necessary to the Jlfe of the
city: that thev ar n m-ent m,Ki k.'
but he feels, as If, should these 'franchises
uo siiea ere tne railways are made to
pay roundly for them, to surrender tbem
at the expiration of 23 years, and to kneel
to the other requirements as set forth in
the proposed new charter, the city is giv
ing away something that is very valuable
something for which it should be well paid
land something others would gladly take
with the conditions, if these are the facts
of the case, the franchises should not be
granted without remuneration to the city
but somehow or other I cannot see that
the company can afford to make a large
outlay for the privilege of investing a
quarter of a million dollars or more; tho
giving of permanent employment to a
email army of men, and the permanent
"improvement and enhancement of a large
section of our city with fares at 5 cents
The writer was born in this city, has
een it grow from a village into a respect
ably sized city, and 'he hopes to live to
eee the day when the figure In the sixth
column is considerably larger than" a figure
L He has seen street-railway men get
franchises for the asking. Invest their
..whole In the enterprise along with the
wealth of their friends, showing the most
.commendable enterprise only to less it
all. Others have been more successful,
and. being able to make both ends meet,
'have invested their savings in exten
sions. As I understand it the people who
ask these favors of the city are local peo
ple; they have .grown up wlththe city,
have contributed largely toward its
growth and success, and really they and
"others in the same business are entitled
to a whole lot of consideration. This I
vam sure Mr. Wood would give them, and
it may be that he is correct in his views
of tho matter, but I believe the Council
and citizens of this city should not lose
eight of the fact that the street-railway
business Is like ventures in other lines
there are risks to take, much money must
Te invested, and profits should be fair
sized.
I would like to call the attention of the
reader to a little article in the same issue
that contains Mr. Wood's letter. On page
10 he will notice as an extract from an
exchange, part of a letter headed "The
Golden Age," and written by G. A. Tar
bell, vice-president of the Equitable Life.
In it, in speaking of the Immense railway
interests of this .country, he says: "We
have only to read the dally papers to see,
if we do not know from actual experience,
that these are the days of great things in
railroads, which are practically the pulse
of the country." What the rallroado are
to the country are not the street-railways
to the busy city? Then, again, on page
8 in the same paper, notice that the property-owners
along East Burnslde street
have withdrawn their objections to an ex
tentlon of the street-railway, and give it
a warm welcome. Also read what W. B..
Chase, ex-City Engineer, says in speaking
of street railwaya He claims that the
street-railways made Morrison. Washing
ton, Third. Russell. Grand avenue, Will
lams avenue and other streets the busy
sections they now are, that'property along
these streets was greatly enhanced by this
means of rapid travel, etc
The Oresronlan. efiitnrtnllv aien
wuiuii m mis same- issue as
to
street-railways and the granting of fran
chises to such, and calls attention to the
fact that this Is a city of distances, be
they magnificent or otherwise, and that
street-railways are an absolute necessity.
I believe that we cannot have too many
street-railways, that they are a factor
and a large one In creating this a city of
individually owned homes, rather than a
city of flats. If the company now under
discussion desires to expend in our midst
some quarter of a million dollars and oth
er companies desire to spend even millions
in and about this city, I say let them do
It; give them every reasonabje encourage
ment. 'put no stones in the way of their
progress. I do-, believe, however, as is set
forth in the editorial article, that the
street-railways should be compelled to
keep their tracks, the space between the
rails, the space between the tracks and
for a certain distance on each side of their
trnnlrc: in first-class condition. At nreoent
the street surface between and beside some
of tbe tracks Is highly dlsgraceiui, uotn to
the company and the city.
The thought has suggested Itself to the
writer that possibly If something was In
corporated into the proposed franchises
to the effect that when the city had at
tained a population of say 150.0X,
a certain per cent of the gross earn
ings was to go to the city, and that after
iho. nnrmlntinn had CTOWn tO 200,000 Of
-more a certain larger percentage was to
be paid over. It would oe acceptacie uj iue
applicants, and at the same time be just.
Perhaps I am wrong in my views on this
matter of franchises, but I trust the peo
ple will give It a thought. There can be
no doubt but that the street-railways have
been and are large factors In the building
up and extension of our city. I want to
see Investments made In our midst. We
cannot afford to let slip an opportunity to
advance. All Is not plain sailing for us,
if we are to maintain our position as me
tropolis of the Northwest we must work
and encourage the Investment of every
dollar possible.
Possibly some one may think that I
write from selfish . motives, that I have
pome connection with the parties asking
this favor of the city, and I will state
that I dp not even know the paftleo and
my full name may be had by any one who
will ask at The Oregonlan office.

THE PRESENT BIBLE.
J. Creash Says That It Is a Poor
Translation of the Original.
PORTLAND, Oct 13. (To the Editor.)
I have carefully perussa wimi .
tt a hni -a-rltten under the caption,
"Praise for the Book of Books." When
he speaks of the Bible as ocmg a. siur-u"
book he is right, but if he means the
Bible in its present form, I, for one, can
not agree with him, as I do not consider
the present Bible correct in Its transla
tion. It Is quite a different kind of book
from what it is In Its original lorm oi
language. In many instances there are
interpretations introduced the Imagina
tions of men.
Rev. Archdeacon Farrar. when asked
while in a debate. "Do you believe what
the Bible states, or do you believe in the
Bible?" answered: "Yes. I believe in the
Bible, and stand by it, but I do not be
lieve in a false translation, such as the
Bible now in use is." Archdeacon Farrar
Is admltedly one of the greatest of Greek
scholars of the present age.
Why are the people permitted to read a
false translation? Simply because of the
pride and tomfoolery of the. churches of
the present age. who know the Bible is
not a true translation, yet they say. "We
can't make a change just how lest such
a radical change may stagger the faith of
the church members,
Anything that is false must be removed,
Otherwise the criticisms' "of enlightened
men will cauDe people to pause and think
for themselves, and. possibly give way to
unbelief In the .whole Bible. The naked
truth' can never be successfully assailed,
and. we .should nop. ' consider "what may.
happen irhen1 wo expound only. the truth,
which can always- bear the- strongest light
of criticism.
"To thine own. .self he true,
And itshall follow as the night the day
Thou can's't not, , then be false to any
man.".
Those who remain indifferent on the
question of whether the Bible should, be
properly translated or. not are hypocriti
cal in their actions when' they read to
their congregations .a falsehood or when
they preach that Adam and Eve were
the first and only man arid woman In the
world. Does Mr. "L. H. A.-" think that
the Adam and Eve, theory Is only sym
bolic of creation?
I do not agree with "L. H. A." that
"the Bible Is the divine and .blessed word
of the ever-living God." It is the word
of man inspired by God, man using his
own method of writing and speaking that
he was inspired to think, hence tho ap
parent differences of expressions. The
translators were inspired to form tne
present Bible, but they did not all agree
as to the meaning of certain portions of
the -Greek Testament.
If the Bible were, as some thfnk, the
divine word. In a literal sense, then there
would be no ambiguity, as "The words of
the Lord are pure, enlightening the eyes,"
as quoted, by "L. H. A."; therefore, any
thing that is ambiguous or unenllghten
lng can't be his word.
The history of "the flood" as translated
and given by the Bible now in use would
lead one to suppose the world were under
water when Noah's ark floated over part
of Palestine. This false impression was
caused '.by the translators' desire to In
corporate such so that the story of the
creation could hinge thereon, or rather
that portions of It showing we came In a
direct line from, man saved in Noah's
ark. Interpolations of this sort have
caused the making of many men of the
Infidel type. The Bible In Its present
form will continue to make unbelievers
and increase Infidelity rather than other
wise. Let us have a true translation, one
without additions or' interpolations of any
kind. The Bible should, not lead to mys
tification. There are. however, two things
vers' clearly set forth in the present
Bible, namely: "What doth the Lord re
quire of thee, O man, but to do justly,
to love mercy and to walk humbly with
thy God?" This Is the whole duty of man.
and If men only knew and practiced this
saying or truth there would be no -labor
strikes or frictions between labor and
capital. The second is that love is the
only thing worth having in this world,
as It lives forever; it is the lift of the
soul. Emerson, in more than one of his
poems, ays that "Only hearts that really
love In this world ever have any conscious
life beyond the grave." This is Emerson's
thought, though not his poetic expression.

MINERS ARE YET FIRM
ROOSEVELT PEACE PLAA TO BE RE
JECTED. N
Make-Up of Board IfiUndaly Limited
AU Depends on Mitchell, Who
Remains Silent.
(Continued from Tint Page.)
mlssloner of Labor Carroll D. Wright had
interviews with the President. The feel
ing at the White House Is optimistic, but
Until Mr. Mitchell makes his reply no
further action on the part of the Presi
dent is expected.
It developed today that the main fea
tures of the operators' proposition were
discussed, and in a general way agreed to
at the conference between Secretary Root
and J. Pierpont Morgan in New York on
Saturday last. Mr. Morgan was very
anxious to bring about an adjustment,
and Secretary Root was able to point out
means thereby the main obstacles to
yielding on the part of the operators
could be removed.
ALL LEFT TO ROOSEVELT.
Operators Say President Alone-Is to
Decide on Arbitrators.
NEW .YQRK. Oct. 14. President Baer.
GRAND CHANCELLOR
J. H.
of the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad,
arrived here from Philadelphia today. !
"Do you consider tfco proposition sub
mitted to the Prpsldpnt in thi nnturo of n
recession from the stand taken by the
operators.' ne was asked.
"I happen to have drawn the proposi
tion myself," Mr. Baer said, "at least I
had a considerable part in preparing it,
and I may state that it embodies my opin
ions and views. Further than that I can
not say anything."
Asked what he thought would be the
result of the offer made to the President,
he replied:
"I am not a prophet."
Mr. Baer was asked whether the propo
sition looked to Immediate resumption on'
full time.
"I do not care to discuss that," he said.
President Oliphant, of the Delaware &
Hudson, was asked If the public would not
look upon the proposition of the operators
as a concession to the miners.
"It is not a concession to the miners,"
he replied. "It is a concession to human
ity. It Is a move tnkpn tn rpUova tVm
distress prevalent throughout the country.'
xl me season naa neen summer Instead
of Winter, such a statement would not
have been made."
President Truesdale, of the Lackawanna
said:
"The whole matter rests with the Presi
dent. We reserved no right to question
the appointment of any Individual whom
the President may see fit to appoint on the
terms of our offer. I do not know whether
the President intends to consult Mr.
Mitchell before deciding to appoint the
committee, and I have no idea of its pos
sible make-up. If he sees fit to appoint
an arbitration committee and take our
proposition, we will not question the ap
pointment of any individuals he may
select."
Some comment has been caused by tho
absence of the signature of John Markle,
the independent operator, in the petition to
President Roosevelt. President Fowler, of
the Ontario & Western, when asked why
Mr. Markle had not been ono of the sign
ers, replied that he did not know that Mr.
Markle knew anything about the move
ment toward peace.
Asked If the operators had received any
assurances as to the action of the Presi
dent in the matter, he replied in the neg
ative. On being asked what influences, if any,
Induced the operators to submit the differ
ences with their men to arbitration, Pres
ident Fowler replied:
It was chiefly due to the pressure of
public opinion, or rather, ycu might sav,
public necessity. We recognized that the
public would suffer if something was not
done soon and we concluded that It would
be honorable to overlook In a measure,
the rights of the interests that wc repre
sent In order that a way out of a serious
predicament might be found. Many of the
schools were getting ready to shut down
and still greater hardships might be suf
fered." . "Do you regard the offer of the operators
to arbitrate as a partial back-down by
them?"
"I suppose many persons would take it
that way," was the reply.
ANOTHER PEACE PLAN IX SIGHT.
Operators Will Consider Buffalo
Proposition While Waiting.
NEW YORK. Oct. 14. The regular
weekly meeting. of the coal operators to
day was preceded by a conference with a
committee of the National Association of
Manufacturers, and at the conference the
salient points of a plan to settle the an
thracite coal strike were submitted by the
manufacturers. The operators will con
sider the plan while the mlneworkers are
reaching a conclusion In regard to the
proposal of arbitration submitted to Pres
ident Roosevelt at Washington
A member of the manufacturers' commit
tee said he knew the association's plan
would be acceptable to Mr- Mitchell. The
same member of the eoirimlttef said th
manufacturers' plan would be considered
by the opcratois, if the mlneworkers re
jected the plan submitted to the President
yesterday.
The operators besran their meeting im
mediately alter the conference witjb. the
manufacturers and at, the. close of the
meeting President Baer, of the Reading,
said no statement would be given out re
garding it.
The members of the manufacturers'
committee at .the conference were: David
N. Parry, president of the association;
Frank Leake, of Philadelphia, and Rich
ard Young, of this city. Mr. Leake said
that the proposition of the Manufacturers'
Association, had not beeh formally pre
sented to the operators, but that its sa
lient points had been discussed. Accord
ing to 'President Parry's secretary, at a
meeting between Mr. Mitchell and repre
sentatives of. the Manufacturers' Associa
tion at Buffalo last week and the secre
tary has stenographic notes of the pro
ceedingsMr. Mitchell agreed . to forego
the recognition of the union In his de
mands upon the operators, if there was a
general advance in wages of 10 per cent.
Mr. Parry and Mr. Leake announced that
they would leave the city, but their des
tination could not be learned.
All the leading operators were present
at the meeting, except President Oliphant
and Vice-President Wilcox, of the Dela
ware & Hudson. While the coal operat
ors' meeting was In progress, J. P. Mor
gan and his partner, Robert Bacon, ar
rived In the city from Washington, and
went directly to Mr. Morgan's office. Mr.
Morgan was asked:
"Have you heard anything from Mr.
Mitchell In regard to the terms of the
operators?" . .
"No, I have not heard anything since I
left," replied the financier.
"Have you anything to say about your
conference with the President?"
"No, I have not a word to say. The

newspapers have had everything that oc
'curred over there."
Mr. Baer was asked if the presidents
had had any intimation that the proposj
tion made to President Roosevelt last
night was acceptable to the miners.
"You will have to see Mr. Mitchell,"
was the reply. "We certainly did not
consult Mr. Mitchell."
One of the men prominent In coal circles
said today:
"The arbitration proposition now before
President Roosevelt was formulated by
the men whose names and Interests are
appended thereto. It is only fair to say
that Mr. Morgan took an active part in
the proceedings, and his suggestions were
most valuable.
"The operators realize that matters
have reached the stage where somebody
must give way. As men of common
sense, they know they cannot freeze the
American public- Mr. Morgan was frank"
to say that something had to be done at
once, or the hard-coal Interests would
suffer serious harm. ' The force of his ar
gument was generally recognized."
BOYS STONE A JfOXUNIOXIST.
Militiamen Come to Scene, and a
Fierce Battle Rages for Some Time.
SCRANTON, Pa., Oct. 14. The superln
lendents of the local mining companies
say that as far as this region is con
cerned, the majority of the mines could
be worked to their full capacity within a
week after the strike was off. With the
exception of a few places, miners have
been at work right along, keeping the
mines repaired and otherwise preparing
for the day when work would be resumed.
All the mines, with one or two exceptions,
have been kept free of water and gas, and
Inside of 10 days could be in full opera
tion. One ofVJhe exceptions Is the Hal
stcad colliery, of the Delaware & Hudson
Company, at Duryea, at which pumping
operations were abandoned. Thls mine
was nearly worked out, and will probably
never be reopened.
No further resumptions were reported
from any of the companies' officers today.
The Delaware. Lackawanna & Western
Company gave out a statement that Its
output for Monday was 10.9SS tons, or 55
per cent of Its normal production. ,
Only one call was made on the soldiers
In these parts today. A crowd of boys
playing football thl3 morning near the
Diamond colliery gave up their sport for
the more fashionable pastime of stoning
a nonunionlst. Deputies came to the
scene and fired shots from Winchesters
upon the boys and hundreds of others
who had come upon the scene and gave
battle with stones. A detachment ot the
Twelfth Regiment soon appeared, and the
crowd dispersed.
SUGGESTED FOR ARBITRATION.
Labor Commissioner Wright and E.
W. Parker Mentioned.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-Two names
suggested for membership on the commit
tee of arbitration are Carroll D. Wright,
tlie Commissioner of Labor, arid E. W.
Parker, statistician of the United States
Geological Survey. Colonel Wright has
been a close adviser of the President ever
since the inception of the "coal trouble?,
and enjoys the confidence of both slde3 of
the great labor light- He might be named
as the sociological expert of the commit
tee. E. W. Parker, of Texas, Is consid
ered one of the besjt authorities in the
country on the fiuoject of coal. He had
charge of an Important part of the recent
census statistics. The general opinion Is
that the selection of the member to be
"an Army or Navy engineer" will be con
fined to the Army, and that to Secre
tary Root will be left the designation of
some engineering officer of his depart
ment. It is stated on the authority of
one acquainted with the situation that
the objection which Mr. Mitchell and hlli
colleagues are reported to have with re
gard to the appointment of one of the
Judges of the Eastern district of Penn
sylvania could be easily surmounted. Mr.
Mitchell, according to this authority mhtht
ask to have some Judge whose bench la
not located in Pennsylvania appointed in
place of ona of the four ' to whom the
choice of the Judicial member of the com
mittee is- confined by the terms of the
operators proposition.

NEW YORK. Oct. 14. At the office of r,
friend today Governor Odell' communicated
his views on the proposed arbitration of
the coal strike to representatives of both
sides, and, on his return to the Fifth-Avenue
Hotel said:
"I find the situation to be that the op
erators have made a proposition, and a
counter proposition will come from the
strikers' side. When the two proposi
tions are brought together, I see no ob
stacle to a speedy resumption of work.
Tho miners have alwayo been willing to
arbitrate, as la evidenced by Mr. Mitch
ell's original proposition to leave the mas
ter to a commission appointed by the Pres
ident. Recognising the serious condition
Of the public, tho operators have prac
tically agreed on the same thing. I re
peat that I feel sure of at least a tem
porary resumption of work, and to say
that I am heartily glad Is putting It
mildly."

Trade-Unionists Asked to Exert
Themselves for Americans.
LONDON. Oct. 14. At a meeting of the
Parliamentary committee of the Trades
Union Congress a letter from President
Mitchell, of the United Mlneworkers. re

States. Among other things, Mr. Mitchell
said:
"Trades-unions In the United States.
England and Wales have responded most

avoid pain and suffering caused
by female troubles. ,
" I can conscientiously recommend
Jbydia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable
Compound to those of my sisters
jsuffering with female weakness and
the troubles vrhich so often befall
women. I suffered ior months with
general weakness and felt- so weary
that I had hard work to keep up. I
had shooting- pains and was utterly
miserable. In my distress I was ad
vised to use Iijdia E. Pinkliam's
Vegetable Compound, and it was
a red letter day to me when I took the
first doso. for at that time my restora
tion began. In six weeks I was a
changed woman, perfectly well in
every respect. I felt so elated and
happy that I want all women who
suffer to get well as I did. ".Miss
