This company unequivocally asserts
that It will under no condition recognize
or enter into any agreement with the
association known as the United Mine
workers of America. Statement or
Hallway President Truesdaic, which Is
concurred in by other "coal barons.
"WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. That the
anthYaclte coal mlneowners will resist
to the utmost every effort to make the
recognition of the United Mineworkers
of America an issue in the arbitration
now in. progress is ma'de evident by the
replies to the statement of President John
Mitchell, of the miners' organization,
which have been filed with the strike com
mission. There arc five of these answers
In addition to that of President Baer,
which was given out yesterday, and all
dwell with especial emphasis and marked
unanimity on this point. They also agree
In resisting the demands of the miners
for an Increase of pay for piece work, a
reduction of hours for time work, and
for the weighing rather than the measure
ment of coal.
Recorder "Wright left for the anthracite
regions today, taking the mlneowners
replies with him. In addition to the state
ment of the Reading Company by Presi
dent Baer, the list comprises the replies
of the Delaware & Hudson Company, the
Lackawanna, the -Lehigh Valley, the
Pennsylvania and the Scranton Coal Com
pany. Truesdale In Reply to Miners.
Tho reply cf the Delaware & Lack
awanna Railway Company to President
Mitchell's statement Is signed by W. H.
Truesdale, president, who says the com
pany owns 25 anthracite colllerico and em
ploys 12.C00 workmen n this branch of
Its business. Mr. Trueedale, like Mr. Baer,
objects -to making the recognition of the
union one of the issues to be considered"
by the commission, saying that In the
proposition made by the company for ar
bitration one of the express conditions
was "that the findings of the commission
should not govern the conditions of em
ployment between It and Its employes."
He adds:
"This company unequivocally asserts
that it will under no condition recognize
or enter into any agreement with the
association known ag the United Mine
workers of America or any branch thereof.
Nor will it permit said association or its
officers to dictate the- terms and condi
tions under which it shall conduct Its bus
iness." N
Referring to the recent strike, Mr.
Truesdale says he Is reliably Informed
that SO per cent- of the company's em
ployes were opposed to the strike, but
they were forced to enter upon It by a
majority vote of the mineworkers in the
other fields. Mr. Truesdale follows close
ly the lines of Mr. Baer's argument as
to the dissimilarity between the work
in the anthracite mines and that in bi
tuminous mines. He declares it is Im
possible to adopt a uniform rate to be
paid to the miners for a unit of coal
mined at all mines.
Work Less Hours Than Other Miners
The declaration is also made that the
anthracite mlnere, as a rule, do not work
as many hours a day as do the bitumin
ous miners, and the opinion is advanced
that if the wages of the anthracite min
ers had been less than that of other
workmen, they would' have found em
ployment elsewhere. He says that "prior
to the introduction of agitators and mischief-makers,
the anthracite workers were
on an average as prosperous, comfort
able and contented as any body of workers
of similar employment lh this country."
The wages, it is added, are such that
many employes have saved sums every
year. i .
Mr. Truesdale resists the demand for a
reduction of 20 per cent In hours of la
bor, saying no such branch of. business
employing thousands of men can hope to
compete successfully in the markets of
the world If its hours of labor are re
stricted. He declares there is no unjust
discrimination in the weighing of coal,
as it is measured, rather than weighed;
and he asserts that the demand is "oufc
of all reason and its effect, so far aa
this company is concerned, is a demand
for an additional increase In the wages
now paid .miners of 5 to 40 per cent"
The .present method of measurement Is
declaicd to be the result of long usage
and fair treatment to all concerned.
Oliplinnt Says Wnjces Are Pair.
President Oliphant, of the Delaware &.
Hudron Company, In his reply, declares
the wages paid by his company are just
and adequate. He also says that "those
of .its employes who perform contract or
piece work work as a matter of their own
volition only about six hours a day and
take numerous hoydays, without the con
sent or approval of this respondent, and
their earnings, by hours of actual work,
arc, therefore, much higher than those
in any similar employment"
Deniul Is made of all the allegations in
connection with the demand for shorter
hours, and it is contended that such a
reduction necessarily would increase the
price of coaL
President Oliphant also takes exception
to the proposition to arbitrate the ques
tion of the recognition of the miners'
union. This position is taken on the
ground that the organization seeks to con
trol the entire fuel supply of the country;
that as the union is unincorporated, it is
incapable of making a binding contract,
and that the association has shown its
inability to control its own members. He
says his company has no desire to dis
criminate against members of the union.
President Fowler speaks for the Scran
ton Coal Company and the Elk Hill Coal
& Iron Company. He asserts that if the
average wage earned by the anthracita
piece workers is less than that paid to
workers in other employment. It is be
cause "they fix their own hours of la
bor and the amount of their earnings.
without any regard to the Interests or
wishes of their employers and In total dis
regard of the earnings and welfare of
every other class of employes." He de
clares that the men in the .mines do not
work to expeed four or Ave hours a day.
All other charges made by Mr. "Mitchell
are combated, and on the question of
miners unions Mr. Fowler said:
- "We deny that agreements between em
ployers and employes, through working
men's organizations, are beneficial and
successful in the bituminous coal fiejds
or elsewhere, and assert that any euch
agreement, as a method of regulating production,-
would be and is injurious to the
best interests of the public."
The replies made for th Lehigh Val
'ley and the Pennsylvania Companies
cover the same ground as the other statements.
AXSWER OP INDEPENDENT MEN.
Pisht on Recognition of the Union
Taken Up in Earnest.
SCRANTON, Pa., Nov. 12. The answer
of the independent operators of the Lack
awanna and Wyoming regions to the
statement of President Mitchell, of the
Mineworkers' Union, was made public
today.
In response to the demand for an In
crease In wages, they say the present
wages are such as to enable the skillful
miner to earn more per hour than any
diss of labor, skilled or unskilled, in the
towns in which their mines are located,
and sufficient to allow him to maintain
an American standard of living and edu
cate his children, and to put aside some
thing for his old age. That some miners'
wages aro small, it is stated, is beciuse
they -choose to exercise their option to
work only a few hours a day.
In answering the contention that min
ing is extremely dangerous and unhealthy
and tends to shorten life, the operators
set forth a petition recently circulated
in the interest of a candidate for Mine
Inspector which contained the nimes of
95 employes of one mine, 67 of whom had
worked In the mine for 20 jears or more,
20 for 40 years or more, and five for 50
years or more.
The demand for the weighing of coal
and payment by the legal ton of 2240
pounds, instead of by the fictitious ton of
2(o0 or 3000 pounds, is characterized as a
thinly-disguised effort to secure a 40 per
cent increase in wages. The answer as
serts that 2750 tons of ccal'as it comes
from "the mine is barely sufficient to pro
duce a 2240-pound ton of prepared coal.
Regarding the declaration of the miners
that labor unions improve the morals and
discipline of their members, this comment
Is made:
"This "may be true when applied to some
organisations, but when applied to the
Miners' Union we enter a most emphatic
denial, and propose to Introduce evidence
showing that prior to the advent of the
United Mineworkers of America it was
considered bad form to kill or malm a
citizen who attempts to exercise his Con
stitutional rights to sell his labor, and
that the vast number of brutal murdcra
and beatings during the past five months
show that the teachings of the United
Mineworkers has brought about such
moral obliquity that Its members believed
themselves justified in these acts: also
that officers of the union Justified this
course by furnishing ball and counsel for
those who have been guilty of these atror
clous acts. We believe that we will be
able to prove such tremendous losses of
life and money as the direct results of the
methods of this particular union as to
convince your honorable committee that
it Is Inexpedient to do any act which may
contribute to Its continued existence.'
MITCHELIi HAS NOTHING TO SAY.
He Will Not Discuss Reply of Oper
ators to His Note.
WILKESBARRE. Pa., Nov, 12. There
was a busy time at miners' headquarters
-today. President Mitchell held conferences
all day with delegations of miners, his
lawyers and members of the executive
boards of the United Mlneworkera The
case of the miners, as It will be submit
ted to tho arbitration commission, which
will meet at Scranton Friday, was gone
over carefully 'by the executive heads -of
the miners' unions The attorneys and the
'expert miners who were summoned here
especially for that purpose took part. Dis
trict President Fahey, with a delegation
of 10 miners from Shamokin, arrived in
town at noon. Their testimony as to the
condition of mining in their region was
.taken down by the lawyers, and after
ward submitted to Mr. Mitchell.
The evidence collected by President
Mitchell in behalf of the miners Is volum
inous, and covers every possible point that
may.be raised when the commission sits.
President Mitchell and his official family
will "break up" house tomorrow, and
remove to Scranton. The chief officer of
the miners has made his headquarters.
in wiiKesuarre since May 19. He will
now make his headquarters In Scranton
and remain thero until the commission
completes its work, when he will return
to National headquarters at Indlanapolla
President Mitchell and the other execu
tive officers of the miners' union declined
to discuss the reply of the presidents of
the coal-carrying roads to the statement
filed In behalf of the miners.
TO PUNISH CARELESS MINERS.
New Mexico Inspector Recommends
Pennlty in Cases of NestliRence.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 12. The annual
report of the Mine Inspector of New
Mexico recommends that a- commission
composed of experts In exDloalves hr an-
pointed to experiment and produce a J
nameicss explosive ior use in coal mines;
recommends restrictions on the general
practice of blasting coal without cutting
or undermining to give a line of vantage
or weakness for the .--hot to break, and
renews the recommendation amending the"
Federal laws as to make all nersons em
ployed about a coal mine liable to prose
cution for breach of the provisions of the
law. The last named recommendation is
based upon the statement that a large
number of accidents in coal mines are'due
to gross negligence of the miner himself.
There were seven fatal accidents in New
Mexican coal mlne3 during the year. The
total number of tons mined in "the terri
tory was 1.132,914, a total of 65,643 tons
mined for each life lost

Grosvenor Says He Is Ont of the Race
Anti-Tariff Revisionists Have
Already Bccnn a. Fight

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Nov. 12. Several Republican Mem
bers of Congress think they see an oppor
tunity to work "Uncle Joe" Cannon, can
didate for Speaker, thl3 Winter by de
manding large local appropriations he has
heretofore refused. They believe that .in
his anxiety for the, speakership he will be
apt to grant concessions which he would
not under ordinary conditions. Possibly
Cannon will be more lenient than usual,
but, as his whole reputation. In Congress
stands ?pon his record to "protect the
Treasury, the scheme of the "Jobbers" is
not likely to succeed.
Fearful that Babcock will enter the
race, his enemies have already begun
quite a bitter campaign. Babcock's tariff
views are vigorously assailed. Again, it
is asserted that he has no voice, and could
not maintain control in the House, some
thing that is very necessary in a Speaker.
It Is found, however, that the criticism of
Babcock comes principally from thoso
Who are anxious to prevent any tariff re
form legislation at the coming session.
Grosvenor of Ohio, who is suggested as
a possibility in the race, has arrived in
Washington, and says ho is entirely out
of the fight He also announces his op
position to any tariff revision, and inter
prets the late elections to mean that the
people want to let well enough alone.
The fact that It Is not necessary for
a man to be a member of the House to bo
elected Speaker Is being brought forward,
and the assertion made that Henderson
could come here and be a candidate for
Speaker. Of course, he could not get any
Republican votes after his performance in
the campaign, but his case Is instanced
as showing that tho constitution does not
require a man to bo a member of the
House to be made Speaker. At the same
time, no Speaker has ever been elected
who was not a member of the House. The
Democrats, when it seemed that they
might pull through, had this idea in
mind, and some were secretly talking of
electing John J. Carlisle, an ex-Speaker.

The most prominent Issue in the cam

This was embodied in a bill introduced
in the last session of Congress. It is
highly unpopular in Hawaii, and was

tho commission which recently visited
Hawaii, to the effect that if the American

It would separate the sexes and enforce

Strong Evidence Against Negro in
the Boston Mnrder Case.
CAMBRIDGE, Mdss.. Nov. 12. The po
lice spent today in investigating the past
life and movements of George L. O. Perry,
the young negro, who yesterday, upon
the release of Alan G. Mason, was charged
with the murder of Miss Clara. A. Morton
at Waverly. Tonight the Somerville po
lice found Perry's sweetheart, and after
persuasion got her to exhibit whatever
jewelry she had received from Pdfry.
Among the trinkets was a gold chain
which was immediately recognized as hav
ing belonged to Miss McPhce. Private
marks on the chain proved the identifica
tion, and the jeweler who sold It to Miss
McPhce later described hi3 own marks
upon it. The chain had been given by
Perry's sweetheart to her rister. The of
ficers next secured letters written by
Perry to his sweetheart, and one1 to her

I began treatment at the Copeland Insti

one, due to citnrrh from which I had ,
Suffered Since Ch:i'liooI.
My entire system wa3 affected and my
health completely broken down.
I was never free from a dull headache,
with a swimming and dizziness, which
got worse when I laid down. At times It
would be so bad that I felt dazed and un
steady. For years there was a profuse discharge
from the nasal passages, but gradually
the membranes became dry and harsh,
and I lost all sense of

My throat was dry. and the tor.r.ils and
glands about the neck badly swollen.

I had palpitation of the heart, which

attacks and I did not know what a good

I was blue and despondent and felt so

Austrian Editor's Troubles.
London Globe.
Few people In England have any Idea of
the disabilities under which the press in
Austria suffers. They accept the abuse of
England which too many Austrian papers
have poured out during the war as the
outcome of the real feelings of the peo
ple for us, ignoring the fact that the
Continental press being, es rule, the
slave of the police, is only too glad to
be able to divert to a neutral object the
diatribes which It longs to inflict on its
own government. In Vienna a paper can j
be summoned, punished, and even sup- l
pressed on the slightest excuse. A paper
is obliged to insert without comment all
official contradictions of facts, and even
if It can prove that Its statements were
absolutely correct, it is not allowed to
do so. Moreover, a Viennese paper cannot 1
be sold on the streets, and so Us readers
