INDEPENDENTS REPLY
SAYS MINERS WAGES ARE
 HIGH ENOUGH.
Declare That the Organization of the Men Teaches That Humans May Be Shot Down for
 Seeking Work.

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 12.-The answer of the independent operators of the Lacka- wanna and Wyoming region to the state ment of President Mitchell was made pub lie tonight.
 In response to the demand for an in- crease in wages. they say that the pres ent wages are such as to enable the dili- hour than any class of labor, skilled or unskilled, in the towns in which their mines are located, and amply sufficient to allow him not only to maintain an American standard and educate his chill dren, but to lay aside something for old age. That some miners wages are small, it is stated, and because they choose to exercise their option to work only a few hours a day.
 In answering the contention that min ing is extremely dangerous and urheaith- full and tends to shorten life, the opera tors set forth a petition. recently circu- lated in the interests of candidate for mine inspector, which contained the names of ninety-five employees of one mine, sixty-six of whom had worked in the Tnlne IOT twenty yeats ol iioiO' ahu twenty for forty years or more. and five for fifty years or more.
 The demand for the weighing of coal and payment by the legal ton of 2,24O pounds instead of by the fictitious ton of 2,750 or 5000 pounds, IS characterized as a thinly disguised effort to secure 40 per cent increase in wages.
 The answer asserts that 275O pounds O coal as it comes from the mine is barely sufficient to produce a 2,2i0 pound ton of prepared coal.
 Regarding the declaration of the miners that labor unions improve the morals and discipline of their members, this comment is made:
 This may be true when applied to some organizations, but when applied to the miners union. we enter a most em- phatlc denial and propose to introduce evidence showing that prior to the ad- vent of the United Mine Workers of America, it was considered bad form to kill or main a citizen who attempted to exercise his constitutional right to sell his labor and that the vast number of bru- tai murders and beatings during :he past five months show that the teaching of the United Mine Workers 1as brought about such moral oblauity that it's mem bers believed themselves justified in these acts, also that the officers of the union justified this course by furnishing bail and counsel for those who have been guilty of these atrocious acts.
 We believe we will be able to prove such tremendous losses of life and money as the direct result of the methods of this particular union as to convince your honorable commission that it is inexpe- dient to do any act which may contribute to its continued existence"

ON THE ANXIOUS SEAT
REPUBLICAN OFFICE HOLDERS
 REFUSE TO BE CALM.
Ad wimbs and c. c. Caperton, Both Negroes, Mentioned as Likely to Hold Jobs Under Col
 lector Thompson.

Birmingham, Nov. 12.-(Special. 1.-The announcement heard from Montgomery that J. O. Thompson who was recently appointed Collector of Internal Revenue for Alabama to succeed Julian Bingham, whose resignation was requested. w. F. Aldrich former Congressman from the Fourth District, and Charles Scott or cred the referees in this State and be advisers to the President in the distribu- tion of the offices hereafter, is accepted here as a fact. It is known that MT. Scott is a warm friend of MT. Clarkson, who is the accredited adviser to the Pres ident as to Southern appointments and af- fairs. It is also known that former Con- gressman Aldrich is looked upon favor ably by the administration. The fact that Thompson has been appointed to a very important office recently shows that he stands very high in the opinion of the powers that be. There is still much ap- prehension felt by Republican office-hold- CTS in this section of the State and all news from the White House is being anx- iously awaited.
 A rumor was current this morning that negroes would be given jobs in the otice of the new Collector and the names of Ad Wimbs of Greensboro, and c. c. Ca perton of Birmingham, are mentioned.
 Leading Republicans of Birmingham, have been asked by prominent newspa- pers and magazines in the North and East to prepare for them at the earliest possible moment articles on the political situation in Alabama as regards the party and the negro The articles request an opinion as to the attitude of President Roosevelt towards the Republicans of the State.
 It is announced by men who have been in the lead of the Republican party in Alabama for some years now that the new movement is to be kept no matter what the opinion of those who do not really understand the situation is.

THE LEADERS OF LABOR FEDERATION WILL MEET IN NEW ORLEANS TODAY. Multitude of Reports to Be Received That of President Samuel Com
 pers Being Perhaps the
 Most Important,

New Orleans, Nov. 12.-Tomorrow morning at o'clock the annual conven- tion of the American Federation of Labor will open in Odd Fellows Hall and it is believed by the officers of the organiza- tion that-the sessions will be continuous until the afternoon of November P.
 A large number of delegates are already upon the ground and more are coming in the morning. It is probable that the total number present will approximate 200.
 The convention will be formally opened by an address of welcome delivered by Robert E. Lee. president of the local Trades and Labor Council. President Gompers will respond and then will come the report of the Credentials Committee, which will be perfunctory. there being no vention committees will then be appoint ed and following them will be a multi tude of reports, that of President Gompers leading off, with those of Secretary Nor rison and Treasurer Lennon following There will be also in the neighborhood of a dozen committee reports. It is proba- ble that the reading of reports will con- sume the greater part of the day.
 A meeting of the executive committee was held this afternoon to consider the difficulty between the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America and the Amalgamated Association of Car penters,
 It Is claimed by the former organization that the members of the latter have taken the places of members of the brother hood at less wages and have forced them out of employment The brotherhood has asked that the charter of the association be revoked. Action on the application for revocation will be announced when the executive committee makes its report.

sobriety Demanded Nowadays.

Indiana pOIlS NeWS.
 In this day sobriety has come pretty nearly to mean total abstinence. As a cold business proposition, great corpora tions and private firms are enforcing practical abstinence. They demand such a condition of their employees that prac- tically any drink at all becomes too much drink. Science has come from another direction to support the same end. The old idea of the efficacy of moderate drink ing finds no support in modern medical science. "A man is as old as his ar teries' is a saying well known in medi- cine. When the arteries take on the os- sifed character the end is at hand Now. modern science says that frequent indul- gence in alcohol tends to produce arterial justification.

Will Fight Recognition.

Washington, Nov 12-That the anthracite mine owners will resist to the utmost every et- fort 10 make the recognition of United Mine Workers of America an issue in the arbitra- tion which is now in progress is made evident by the replies to- the statement of President John Mitchell of the miners organization. which have been filed with the strike commis- sion There are five of these answers in addi- tion to that of President Baer, which given out yesterday and all dwelt with espe ciaI emphasis and marked unanimity on this point They also agree in resisting the de mands of the miners for an increase of pay of piece work: a reduction of hours for time work and for the weighing rather than the measurement of coal.

 Secretary Olnev still appears to the more conservative element of the Demo cratic Party the proper man to head the national ticket He is no turncoat nor trickster, but a man whom the people can trust He would make an ideal Pres ident in just such crises as appear to confront ns very soon in the solution of the trust and labor problems. Hill is a brilliant debator, but lacks the quality of greatness which makes the statesman. Olney would be impregnable alike to so- pEIstries and the allurements of power

Railroad Officials.

President M. H. Smith of the Louis vile and Nashville Railroad, is here and Second Vice-President w. W. Finley and General Manager c. H. Ackert of the Southern Railway will be here before midnight. All will remain here for two or three days. meeting of the Board of Direc- tors of the Birmingham Southern Rail- road. owned jointly by the Southern and Louisville and Nashville Railroads for merly the property of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company, will be held this week. Then both systems have a terrific congestion at this place and are unable to furnish cars to shippers and after furnishing cars have not enough locomotive power with which to move the cars. The conditions were never in such shape a. they are now. It is stated that one of the roads in this section has posi- lively refused traffic to be handled only short distance, and then turned over to another road. Cars needed when the product to be shipped is to go to a foreign road and the cars likely to be held for some time are not being furnished read fly. The residents of the companies may see some way of clearing conditions President Smith while here will be con- suited looking to the extension of the Birmingham Mineral Railroad to Gads- den, in Etowah County, and Huntsville, in Madison County. Citizens at both places want new routes to Birmingham. Moses Williams Pleads Guilty.
 Moses Williams charged with counter feiting, entered a plea of guilty in the United States Court this morning, and will probably be sentenced Saturday. Wil- Hams was a party to one of the most remarkable schemes for making money that was ever brought to light by the Be- cret Service Department in Alabama. and after his arrest he made one of the most desperate attempts to escape that was ever witnessed in the State. Williams together with several other men. were arrested last April on the charge of con- spiracy, 1t being alleged that they had conspired together for the purpose Of making cases against persons and becom- ing witnesses their idea being to obtain witness fees. To this end a lot of coun- terfeit money was manufactured and di- vided among the crowd, the agreement being that each should swear that it was received from person or persons against whom cases were made. Several men were arrested on their testimony After being arrested Williams jumped from fast-moving train. He was arrested in North Carolina He made the money which was to be used in the conspiracy, so it is charged. He will probably get light senstnce.
