MR.. SCOTYS STATEMENT.
He Defends His Mining Com
pauy.lu Its Treatment Of
THE SPRING VALLEY MINERS,
And Answers tho Criticisms Of the
Press-He Says lie Cannot Pay
Men More aud Compete with
Other Mines-HIs Reasons.

CHICAGO, Sept, 27,-oongressman W,
L. Scott, Of Erie, Pennsylvania, Presi'
dent Of the Spring Valley, Illinois, Coal
Company, has written a long open letter
to Governor Fiier, Itis a defense Of the
course OF the company in.closing its
mines on the lst of May last, because no
agreement could be reached with Its
miners as to the price to be paid for
mining. The men have been idle ever
since and Mr., Scott and his company
have been subjected to severe criticism
in the public press, On this subject he
says;
"Yenal and partisan papers, as well as
politicians, desiring to serve polltica!
ends, together with few honest and
charitable citizens and misguided clergy
men, have without the necessary faCts. or
knowledge to enable them TO form q cor
rect opinion heaped upon this company
and It's officers through the press an
amount Of ialsehood aud slander that is
perhaps without parallel in the indus
trial history OF this country"
He goes on To say that no Illinois cap
italist would risk his money IN these
mines; that the Spring Valley Compa'
ny, knowing 1t could hope for only u
moderate return, invested $G50,000 In
them, OF which about half went to the
farmers Of the surface above them TO lift
tho mortgages on the land. Ho then
shows that the vast capacity developed
in those mines for the production oil coal,
and continues;
"The ability Of the company to oper.
ate its mines, to give steady employ
ment to It's men, and 10 sell its coal, is
contingent upon two faCtors-First, the
cost Of mining at Spring Valley, Rs con::
pared with the cost ut the mines Ia tho
other Illinois coal fields with which We
come in competition. Second, the cost
OF railroad transportation from Spring
Valley to competitive markets, as COM
pared with the cost OF transportation
from mines Ia the other fields. The
price in the Peoria mines last year was
90 conts a ton, as against 90 cents paid
at Spring Valley. The distance from
Peoria to Chicago Is 1Ul miles, and from
Peoria TO st. Paul, via Chicago, I'll
miles. Now, q ton Of coal shipped from
Peoria to 81. Paul, via Chicago, a dis
tance OF .67l miles, pays only the same
rate per ton for transportation as a ton
Of Spring Valley coal pays for 400 miles,
with u difference Of 35 cents per ton in
the cost OF mining In favor Of PEORIA
Mr.. Scott then proceeds to compare
tho character Of the work and weigh
the advantages and disadvantages at
Braidwood:aGd Spring Valley, handling
the matter In n technical way, He
reaches the conclusion that with mining
at Braidwood at the present price, s!
cents per ton, the equivalent cdg price at
closes by saying that the company's
offer Of 70 cents per ton Is liberal and all
that the company can take and main
tain Its place In the market.

vOcate polygamy, That the teachings
and practice Of polygamy have not been
discontinued, as 1t is claimed by some,
Is proven, the report says, by the fact
that since September ], 1883, there have
been in the Territory Of Utah S57 con-
yiCtions for bigamy, adultery, forniCa.
tion and unlawful cohabltation \ only
two for bigamy. The commission has
no doubt that punishment Of the woman

report the Commission says that Con-
