HAER MEETS JUDGE GRAY.
Denied That Crisis In Labor Trouble
Was the Cause.
PHILADELPHIA. April l.-It was
learned today that Judge George Gray,
president of the anthracite strike com
mission, and President Baer,. of the
Reading Company, met Saturday night at
the home In Wilmington. Del., of Colonel
H. A. Dupont, the powder manufacturer.
Their meeting, coming at this time, nat
urally gave rise to rumors that It had
something to do with the present crisis
In the labor troubles in the anthracite
region, but this was positively denied
from all sources.
It can be stated authoritatively that It
would be with only the greatest-difficulty
that Judge Gray could be brought Into
any arbitration plan. He has frequently
said in the past year that nothing but
the most imperative demand would In
duce him. with others, to settle another
strike involving features such as those
presented by the hard coal situation.
President Baor returned to his home
here today and. as usual, declined to
discuss the situation for publication.

VOTERS TO CHOOSE
'Continued From Page 1.)
no state law in the Old Dominion which
provides for the primary election of Sen
ators; the primaries are held by order of
the Democratic State Convention. The
Legislature is bound to respect the vote
of the people, so that the Senators are
in reality the choice of a majority of the
voters of Virginia.
If Virginia, should change her political
complexion, however (and stranger things
have come" to pass), the present party pri
mary would not compel the election of a
Democratic Senator by a Republican Leg
islature. The Virginia members of Con
gress admit that no matter what sort of
primary law may be in force, the Legis
lature is going to elect a. Senator of the
party dominant in the Legislature.
The same Is true of Kentucky, which
holds Democratic primaries on the Sena
torshlp by grace of the Democratic state
organization. Kentucky has a, primary
law. but it docs not extend to Senators.
There are no Republican primaries held
for the nomination of Senators in that
State.
Xcw Plan in Tennessee.
Tennessee Is another state that has no
primary law governing the election of Sen
ators, but next month there will be' what
Is known as a. "blanket primary" election
in Tennessee at which the people will vote
for a United States Senator. This to the
first thing of the kind ever held In the
state, and the primary -is to be held on the
call of the Democratic executive commit
tee. The Republicans will have no say
in it. It Is declared that the Democrat
receiving the highest vote at the com
ing primary election will be elected in
due time by the Tennsssee LgisUttxre.

United States Senators by popular vote.
March 2S, however, a. primary election
was held in Arkansas, and the contest
then closed was one of the bitterest
fought out between Arkansas Democrats.
The choice of the people will unques
tionably be ratified by the Legislature.
This primary election was held pursuant
to a resolution adopted by the Dcmocratfc
State Convention. The Davis-Berry con
test was the first to take place in Arkan
sas under the Democratic primary. What
It will lead to time alone will tell.
It is obvious, from this brief review,
that there Is a vast difference between
the Oregon primary law and the primary
law that Is In force in various Southern
States. The Oregon law goes beyond the
legal .or the party primary of the South:
It undertakes to do what no single state
In "the South has thought of doing the
placing of the names of primary Senato
rial nominees on the state ticket, to be
voted upon by the people.
South Is Much Interested.
The working of the Oregon law will be
watched with- interest by Southern men.
for it Is unique, in their opinion. Not one
of the many men interviewed approved
the Oregon idea, "or believes that It has
any practical value. They one and all
agree that If Oregon Is to have a primary
election, the party that is In control of
the Legislature will elect the' United
States Senator, regardless of what the
primary vote may be.
Much as the Southern men would like
to have a Democratic Senator from Ore
gon, they do not see any prospect of such
a -result m the new primary law. They
do not believe that even the famous
Statement No. 1 will force a Republican
Legislature into electing a Democratic
Senator, or even should it be the express
will of the people, as shown at the pri
maries, that a Democrat should be
elected.
