VICTOR EMMANUEL IS 33.
A General Observance of the Day
Throughout Italy Services In th
Churches.
Rome, Nov. 11. Throughout Italy
today was celebrated the thirty-third
birthday of the king. In Rome the ob
servance was quite general and there
was great rejoicing. Special services
were held In tho churches and prayers
were offered In anticipation of the
Interesting event expected In the
royal family next month. At the Qui
rinlal messages of congratulation
were received, during Ihe day from
Emperor Francis Joseph, Emperor
William and other rulers of Europe
Victor Emmanuel. Ill has changed
greariy in the two years that hp has
occupied th.e throne of his father and
grandfather. Two years ago he scarce
ly made a statement destined for pub
Hclty that did not express or Imply
his correct conduct as a thoroughly
constitutional monarch and servant
of the people. Men who knew him in
tlmately whispered among themselves
that he even had socialistic procllvi-
ties. Then gradually a change began
to show Itself. Ho became more re
served, more self-conscious more of
a king. He talked more about what
his father and grandfather had done
for Italy, and how he would coniplete
their -work. His attitude toward Ital
ians was. no longer ihtft of a gifted
favored elder brother, but of a father.
Nevertheless, his development thus
far had beon of natural, native growth
and purely the work of varied Italian
influence.
Then last August came his visit to
Berlin and Potsdam, and a revolution
In his delicately constituted person
ality was wrought. Whether this rev.
olution has extended beneath the sur
face or -whother it will pleaso the
Italian remains to be seen. But for
good or 111. for a long or a brief
period, he has now the indomitable,
exalted Hohenzollern pose, which has
manifested Itself recently in his se
vere conduct toward his uncles and
cousins.

Characterizes President Mitchell's Demands as Arbitrary.
Unreasonable and Unjust.
"WILL NOT PERMIT ANY ORGANIZATION
TO LIMIT HIS RIGHT OF EMPLOYMENT.
Declares That Since the Advent of the United Mine Workers Into the An
thracite Fields, Business Conditions Are Intolerable The Output Is
Decreased, Discipline Destroyed and Strikes Are Almost of Dally Oc-
Washington, D. C, Nov. 11. Re
corder Wright made public this morn
ing Baer's" answer to President Mitch
ell. It is a general, denial of each
clause of Mitchell's' statement. He
characterizes the demand for an In
crease of wages as arbitrary, unrea
sonable and unjust. Denies that there
lsny similarity in the anthracite and
bituminous mining.
Ho Is positive that tho present
wages are sufficient to offset the in
creased cost to sustain the miners
by American methods of living. He
further says that there Is no other
mining region In the world where
there are so many comforts, facilities
for education and genial, advantage
ous, profitable employment. No
children are employed at a younger
age than provided by law.
He sums up by saying that any In
crease of wages means an increase
In the price of coal to the public,
which will seriously affect the indus
tries using anthracite to compete
with those using bituminous.
The United Mine Workers Is pri
marily a bituminous organization and
bituminous competes with anthracite.
Since the advent of that Order into"
the anthracite fields business condi
tions were Intolerable. The output
was decreased, discipline destroyed
and strikes were almost of dally oc
currence. The men worked when
and as they pleased and the cost of
production had been greatly increas
ed. He avers that the commission's
investigation concerned matters af
fecting men as employes only, thus
excluding the United Mlno Workers
of America from any part or recogni
tion in the proceedings.
"When a labor organization is cre
ated and limited to the workers of
the anthracite fields, which will obey
the laws of the land and respect the
rights of every man to work whether
he belongs to a union or not, and
shall honestly co-operate with the em
ployers in securing good work, ef
ficiency and discipline, then trade
agreements may become practical.
""This company does not and will
not discriminate against any man be
longing to the United Mine Workers
or to any other labor organization
so long as he does satisfactory work.
The operators are law-abiding but
will at all times employ any person
they see fit and will not permit any
labor organization to limit their right
of employment to members of a cer
tain organization."
HUGHES MAKES DENIAL.
Says the "Kill and Burn" Order Wat
Not Given In the Philippines.
Washington, D. C Nov. 11. Gen
eral Hughes, who commanded In
Panay, says tho burning of Hollo was

surgent council to have boon the work
of Insurgents. He snys the troops by
"some hard work,, some fighting and
much exposure to tho flro wero ablo
to wrench a portion of Hollo from the
flames." After reviewing the work of
tho Eighteenth Infantry in tho prov
ince of Panay, General Hughes said:
"It has thus been shown that Eight
eenth regulars had no order to burn
all towns from which they wero at
tacked, and that they did not lcavo n
strip of laud t0 miles wide from ono
end o fthe island to the other, which
the traditional crow could not have
