WHAT HILL WOULD DO.
He Would Call Every. Senator and Asl
Him if He Was Guilty.

He Would Call Every Senator and Ask
Him if He Was Guilty.
Hill then went on to say that the COM
mittee should call the senators who were
accused, not the newspaper men, and when
asked how to proceed when the charges
were so indefinite that the senators were
not known he said call them ALL In fact
Hills idea was apparently that anything
was better than requiring man who
makes charges of infamy against high
officials to prove his. charges-when he is n
newspaper man. Gray said the senate
committee was like a coroner's jury. and
wanted Hill to saywhether witness maxi
ing statement that he had heard that
one man had been killed by another could
refuse to give his authority.
Hill parted that question by saying
that the two cases Were not similar be-
cause at a court trial eyewitnesses were
wanted and right then Gray bottled up
the New York man by the remark, well,
that's just what we want" The point Of
the committee on this phase of the ques-
ton is that the correspondent is not the
eyewitness, but he says he knows who the
eyewitness is, prints broadcast what the
eyewitness says-accusations that if true
should ruin the men accused-and then
refuses to say who the eyewitness is SO
that accused can be brought face to face
with accuser.
Hill said that If newspaper man had
made statement rejecting upon him the
first thing he would do would be to de-
mand that he (HilD be called. He added
that he opposed the warrant business be-
cause, first, the correspondents were New
Workers and represented New York pa
pers, because he wanted to present his
views: and because the senate had no right
to go further than it has gone. He was
defeated, however, and the committee OBJ
tanned what it asked for in the resolution
recited in the beginning of this dispatch.

State Arbitrator Bishop, who held
a conference with number OF lead

says he still has stroLg hopes of COM
promising the strike. The operators
had suggested that II the miners
would accept 65 cents a ton instead of
the proffered 60 cents the matter
could probably be adjusted. The
union officers held out for rs cents,
however, and declared that the propo-
sition of the operators was not suf-
fciently favorable to warrant the
calling of mass meeting as proposed.
