Judge Royce Advises Permanence.
AT the afternoon session Judge I. H.
Z. Royce. of Terre Haute, Ind, read a
paper on The Value of Permanence and
Stability in Building and Loan Associa-
lions, principles which he said find IL
lustration in all lines of human activity.
while the transient man and institution
are regarded with suspicion. He depre-
Gated organizing building associations
on the running CUT plan. which asso-
Citations lose the benefit of accumulation

ton for successful methods. The per-
manent plan he advocated as even bet
ter than the serial plan on account Of
Its permanence;. economy in manage
ment, mutually in profit-sharing and

speaker, are thus most safely guarded.

"A Pointer in Civics'' was the subject
OF paper read by E. B. Linsley, Of
Three Rivers, Mich. the first treasurer

of the building association and its infiu-

of the most helpful factors in forming

of home and a law-abiding citizen,

is prosperous and will be ultimately sue

best possible help in this direction"

NOTHING TO DO WITH THE STREE
Miners Union Shut Out Of All Conference
Between Men and Employers.

Miners Union Shut Out Of All Conferences
Between Men and Employer.
The operators, with few exceptions,
want ii distinctly understood that the
passage Of an agreement whereby all
operators are to adopt a similar system
and are to pay the same relative price
for mining has nothing to do with the
great strike. They wish the miners to
disabuse their minds of any such theor-
les. The operators have also shut out
the miners leaders from taking any
part in any conference that may take
place through questions arising between
the operators and miners, by inserting
clause in the agreement stating that
the commission shall be composed Of
workmen employed by the subscribers
Heretofore the miners officials have
represented the miners, but now the
miners are to grapple with the ques-
tons in dispute alone.
1t was decided that present contracts
could not be made the basis for arbitra-
ton. Many firms have taken contracts
for stipulated period at a fixed price.
IL is understood that these shall have
the right to supply the product to fill
these contracts at the rate of mining
on which the contracts are based. Here
Is where the miners and operators will
separate. Operators from eighty five
rail mines and five river mines agreed
to take part in the convention. which
is larger percentage than it was hoped
to get together.
The operators worked smoothly and
few objections were raised to the agree
ment as written. There was a close
vote on the question whether the COM
mission to be appointed should be
privileged to tamper with the differ
entail in the thick and thin vein
regions. Frank Osborne made a motion
to let it stand as usage and custom
had made it, but De Armitt argued that
IL the differential was fair and lust
none should fear to have the subject
arbitrated. and Osborne's motion was
lost. Hoosack almost broke up the as
semblage when he moved to make the
agreement become operative when sew
enty-ive operators sign.

Ratchford, Gompers and SOVEREIGN Call nm
AtkinsOn-Open Letter from Debs.
Charleston, W. Va, July 29.-Presi-
dent Ratchford, of the United Mine
Workers. President Gompers, of the
American Federation of Labor, and
Grand Master Sovereign, of the Knights
of Labor, arrived here last evening and
Immediately called upon Governor At
kinson to get an expression from him
as to their right to speak and hold
meetings in West Virginia. and es-
pecially to complain Of an injunction is
sued by Judge Mason prohibiting the
organizations to appear or hold meet
ings on the grounds Of any coal COM
pany without permission, or upon any
road leading to the company's prop
erty. Governor Atkinson pointed out to
MS visitors that the three branches of
state government II the executive, the
legislative and the judicial-are entire
~ separate and distinct one from the
other; that he had jurisdiction only in
the executive branch, and that themat-
ter OF issuing the injunction is purely
a matter for the courts, or the judicial
branch.
The governor had not seen an Official
copy OF the injunction, but if what he
got from the newspapers in regard to
IL was correct he believed that the in
junction was too sweeping in its pro-
VISIONS. However. he would withhold
ms opinion upon it till he saw an Of
ncial COPY. He asked his visitors tc
call again today, when he would give
them his final answer as to what he
would or could do toward giving the
relief asked for. Gompers. Ratchford
and Sovereign said last night that they
would go ahead at once to organize
the state. no matter what may he the
governors answer or the issue in the

Recently one OF our great metropoli-
tan journals. In line with a number
Of other papers. expressed a belief that
the trusts could be successfully reached
and attacked. Il urged that there were
three methods BY which they could BE-
reached. First. under the common law.
on lines OF public policy; second, By
state legislation; and. third. BY ma
tional legislation. II cited few In
stances where tho sugar and other
trusts have been reached and decisions
rendered BY the courts declaring them
unconstitutional. yet. the fact seems
to have escaped the newspapers that
the decisions Of the courts In the cases
cited have absolutely no effect upon
the concerns In question. The sugar
trust and ita kindred concerns have
been doing business upon the same old
policy and old lines.
For obvious reasons the lawmakers
and the executors OF the law are not
now. and arc not likely for many
moons. 10 be ~ a position where theli
