Hodges Suit for Injunction.

Newark n. j.. Sept. 11.-Frank Bergen
of counsel for ]. Aspnwall Hodge and
other stockholders of the United States
Steel Corporation. who are seeking by
injunction to restrain the retirement of
$200, 100000 of the company's preferred
stock and the issue of $3.50, ,O00, 900 bonds,
resumed his argument in favor of an in
junction before Vice Chancellor Emery
today. Mr. Bergen declared that the val
uation of the Steel Corporations proper
ties was excessive and that not a single
affidavit had been produced TO show in
detail that the valuation was not in
fiated.
Richard V. Lindabury followed for the
defendant corporation. He said the only
question to which the defendants would
address themselves, on the argument of
the merits, would be as to the validity
OF the syndicate contract with j. P. Nor
gan Company. That contract, Mr..
Lindabury said, was unassailable by
stockholders.

MORGAN WON'T INTERFERE.
and the Operators Will Not Agree to Arbt-
trate With Mitchell.
(By tn Associated Press.)

New York, Sept. 11.-Abram S. Hewitt
former mayor of New York, gave out
statement today in which he said he
knew positively that J. p. Morgan would
not interfere in the coal strike Mr.
Hewitt also said that the coal operators
would not agree to arbitrate with John
Mitchell, but that he believed they would
consider grievances presented by their
employees.
Il don't altogether blame Mr.. Mitchell
for bringing on this strike. Mr. Mitchell
advised against the strike. When he
called the convention at Shamokin. he
thought he would be able to control it
and show what big fellow he was.
But those young fellows came in and
wanted the strike and the convention got
beyond Mitchells control.
'Then he called the Indianapolis con
vention. He told the anthracite miners
that he would ask the bituminous miners
to go ON a sympathetic strike. He did
so and they refused.
"Mr. Mitchell in public clamors for ar
bitration But does he want arbitration?
What Mrh Mitchell wants is recognition
for himself Mr.. Mitchell is fighting for
his very life, but there will be no recog
milton of Mr. Mitchell by the present OPP
orators and no arbitration between the
operators and Mr.. Mitchell
''It was Mr.. Mitchell who destroyed the
principle of arbitration in the coal fields.
The operators are willing and ready to
adjust anv grievances by concessions or

PLAN OF THE ALLIANCE
Let the Operators Feel the Laws
Strong Hand.
so THEY URGE ON GOVERNOR STONE
Compulsory Arbitration and Enforcing tho
Sixteenth AID Seventeenth Articles of
the Slate Constitution Are the
Remedies They Propose.
(By the Associated Press.)

Harrisburg, Pa, Sept. 1.-THE con
ference committee of the Peoples AL
lance, appointed at the convention at
Hazelton last Thursday, appeared before
Governor Stone this afternoon and sub
mitted plan for effecting a settlement
of the anthracite coal strike. Their
plan consists of calling an extra session
of the Legislature to enact laws for
compulsory arbitration: better control
of foreign corporations doing business in
Pennsylvania and enforcing the six
teenth and seventeenth articles of the
constitution.
Article sixteen makes 1t unlawful for
any operator or superintendent to en-
ploy any person as fire boss who has
not obtained a certificate of competency
and article seventeen prohibits any boy
under twelve years of age, or woman
from working in coal mine, and also
prohibits a boy Under sixteen years of
age from mining or loading coal.
Daniel j. Mccarthy, of Hazelton, said
the alliance represented the business
people of the hard coal districts, and
tlement of the strike. There was no
sign of settlement, and the only hop1
of bringing about an end to the strike
is an extra session of the Legislature
for the enactment of the legislation that
will end the present strike and prevent
strikes in the future. Mr.. Mccarthy
suggested that if an extra session is
held some action should be taken to
}i.n,,t-
which are doing business in Pennsyl-
vania. He attacked the Beef Trust the
Steel Trust and other large corpora
tions, because of the alleged high prices
which they charge for their products. Mr..
Mccarthy said:
president Baer, of the Philadelphia
and Reading Company, is the creature
of j. p. Morgan and the latter should
be forced to compel Mr.. Baer to arbi-
trate the strike. A load of coal can not
be bought in the coal region at present
from the large coal corporations at any
price If the legislation is enacted which
the alliance recommends. it will bring
the strike to an end and prevent strikes
in the future"
Mr.. Mccarthy argued that the present
difficulty in the coal region comes
through the gross mismanagement of the
great coal corporations None of these
corporations, he said, pays dividend,
while the individual operators are all
making money and getting rich. Relief
can be granted he continued, by enact
ing legislation that will enforce the six
teenth and seventeenth articles of the
State Constitution.
Addresses were made by other MEM
bers of the committee along the same
lines, all urging remedial legislation:
The Governor said he was glad to hear
from the alliance. and expressed his
qualification on hearing the views of the
speakers. He made no comment on their
remarks
