TO BOYCOTT HARD COAL.
Stationary Engineers and Firemen
Are Not Satisfied.

Chicago. Oct. 23.-It is stated today by
President Morton, of the International AS
ISOLATION Of Stationary Engineers and
Firemen, that all members of the asso-
citation all over the country would be or
dered to refuse to handle any anthracite
coal until each member affected by the
anthracite strike is reinstated on the
basis on which the miners returned to
work.
The brotherhood has a membership Of
1900, and has local unions in ia towns
and cities. including Chicago. New, York,
Boston. Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Cleve-
land. Baltimore. st. Louis. Kansas City,
Denver and San Francisco.
President Morton declared his organiza-
ton was In a position to shut out hard
coal in all cities where 1t had local un-
ions, and said such action would be taken
IL necessary for the protection of MEM
bers Of the union who had lost their po-
sitions on account of the anthracite strike.
This IL. President Morton's view of the
situation:
According to all reports from the east
ern mines our men are getting the worst
of II and while the miners are being re-
instated. they are left out in the cold
Our organization does not propose allow
ing its members to be victimized. and as
union man seeming to be in possession of
the jobs we will attempt to secure the
reinstatement Of our members by shutting
out anthracite coal everywhere we can.
"While negotiations looking toward q
settlement were on, we did not wish to In
terfere in any way, although we feared
our men would get the worst OF 1t. We
have supported the miners In every man
ner during the strike, and believe the
action Of the firemen and engineers in
quitting work helped materially to win
the fight.
although II Is true a majority Of the
firemen are members of the miners I'M
ion, because they were forced into that
organization, they have retained their
membership In our union and have, al
ready asked for our assistance. We pro-
pose to give It to them and am going
to call o meeting of the executive board
when action ssili be taken looking to that
end. l vii advocate that our members
be ordered to refuse to handle anthra-
cite coal and as to my mind this Ia the
only method that will bring the operators
to time.
President Morton said that when the
shamokin convention was held previous
to the strike, President Tom Barrett and
Secretary ]. P. Mullahy, OF the state
district of Pennsylvania, were present
in the interest of the fremen and asked
what protection they would receive. pro-
vided they went on strike in sympathy
with the miners According to President
Morton they were advised to get into
the miners union. but were assured the
miners would stand by them. He Is now
NJ the opinion that the miners have not
lived IN to their promises strictly.

Pittsburg, Oct. 8.-The proposition
made by the American Tin Plate Com
pany to the tin workers Of the Amalga-
mated Association which has been under

accept the counter proposition without

tions. the companies did not dismiss them.
but with the stockade living quarters
gone and the almost impossible tack Of
securing boarding houses confronting
them. the imported non-unionists packed
UP and left for other and more congenial
chimes.
At about half the collieries a practically
full force Of the men were sent in. Fall
len roofs which blocked roadways were
responsible In most cases for part Of
the force only being placed.
With the exception of the Hallstead,
which had been abandoned and the Sloan
and Central. where new switches are be-
ing laid. all the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western collieries made a start.
Superintendent Rose of the Delaware
and Hudson company stated that all his
companys places north of Scranton ex-
cept the Clinton. in Wayne County made
start.
District President Nichols Of the United
Mine Workers was kept busy all day
hearing committees that came In to make
complaints. A list was being made. he
said, OF the men who are not employed.
Their cases will be taken up with the
companies through grievance committees.

DISCRIMINATION CHARGED.
L. & N. Said to Favor Nashville in
Matter of Freight Rates.

Washington. Oct 23.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission today gave hear
ing In the case of Martens against the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad ,involv-
ing charges OF discrimination in tariffs
in the lumber traffic between Tennessee
points and Detroit. Mich.
The complaint charges that the defend
ant roads rates on lumber from FONT
ainhead, Gallatin. Pilot Knob and St.
Blaise, Tenn, to Detroit are % cents per
100 pounds, while for the longer distance
from Nashville the rate is % cents. Coun-
sci charged today that this difference in
tariff schedules prejudiced the interests
of the complainant and gave Nashville
shipments the preference and that the
road thus violated the Interstate COM
merce law.
The defense argued that the difference
in rates was warranted by the compete
tive conditions which did not exist at the
other Tennessee points pitting the steam
boat competition on the Cumberland riv-
err on which Nashville Is located.

ADVANCE OF so CENTS.
Baer Says the Cost Of Production
Has Been Increased.

Philadelphia, Oct. BIN view of the re-
sumption of mining Of anthracite coal the
Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Com
pany tonight issued the following state
ment:
&c. E. Henderson, General Manager
Dear Sir-The reports of the superin-
tendents in charge of the mine show. that
as a result of the strike, the mines and
mining plants have sustained considerable
injury and their respective working
organizations have been impaired. For
some time to come the collieries cannot
be worked to produce their average
quantity of coal. This will increase the
cost OF production. Estimates have been
submitted showing the probable increase
in cost per ton at the several groups of
collieries. The general average exceeds
so cents per ton.
You will. therefore. add to the circular
price so cents per ton-this additional
price to continue until the first of January
1903, by which time we hope to reach a
normal condition of mining and produc-
ton.
Notwithstanding the fact that during
the strike no coal was sold by our com
pany at an advance over the circular
price, the price has been professionally adj
vanced to the public by some retail deal
ers In the distribution of the coal,
therefore, you will. so far as practicable
supply the dealers who are willing to sell
coal to the public at reasonable prices.
Where dealers seek to obtain an unfair
profit from the public you will promptly
take steps to supply the reasonable de-
mands of the public directly.
Yours truly,
George F. Baer. President"
An effort will be made to arrange the
distribution of coal so that parties In
need may at least receive a small portion
of their wants, and, with this purpose In
view, dealers will be required to restrict
the amount which will, for the present,
be sold to any consumer within the limits
of his reasonable immediate requirements
The opinion is expressed by Mr.: Hen
derson that the prices for white ash, egg.
stove and chestnut coal. delivered TO
householders in the city of Philadelphia
should not in any case exceed 1915.
Many of the dealers have already ex-
pressed a willingness to comply with the
wishes Of the Reading Company IN this

troubles therefore. All testimony should
1 believe not be based on partisan lines
but as to the desire of the people to
have these matters passed through
Congress, far from their homes, or in
their own Territory by their own au-
thorities familiar with the details. So
many statements were placed on your
official record as to the likely action
of local officials that we ask for this
investigation
Are the parties willing on both
sides,' said Senator Burton, that the
amendment now before our committee
shall be constructed into such a law for
the Territory the same as in the United
States?''
I'm regard to public lands and water
rights a somewhat modified code would
have to be enacted, as in such prescrib-
ed ground as these islands one ditcn
would practically take the water rights
for an entire district. We are willing
to take our chances on any law that
the committee will enact but 1 submit
that circumstances here differ from
the mainland. The area for irrigation
plants is circumscribed. A general law
might 1 fear set many parties at work
on the same ground that might lead to
serious results"
When Senator Thurston had finished
Arthur c. Gehr was sworn and began
by talking of an agreement with Col
Parker and his associates for the divi-
sion of the business of the water COM
panies, there being an alleged ultimate
union of the combinations. He told of
the meeting between the Gehrs and
Col. Jones with Col. Parker and Mr..
McClanahan at the Bungalow and of
further meetings, at one of which Nc
Clanahan said to Gehr that his party
could best tell what the matter was
worth, as they had made a careful sur
vey. Later at a meeting at the office
of Kinney, Ballou & McClanahan an
agreement was reached where it was

decided that the Gehr company should
have fifty-ene per cent of the stock
and the privilege of subscribing for
fifty-f1ve per cent of the stock or bonds
in the future According to Mr. Gehr
the parties worked in harmony after
that, Parker's application was with
drawn by Ballou, as there was COM
bination of interests, and there seemed
no cloud. Mr.. Gehr said:
"On September 10, all terms of the
license were agreed upon and the gov
ernor approving it as a good thing
for the Territory, it was about to be is
sued. One or two gentlemen started
discussion and at the next council meet
ing opposed the license and asked for
restrictions, fearing that their rights
had not been protected. We agreed
with these to refrain from becoming
the owners of lands over which our
ditch should run. The opposition was
against Colonel Parker as well as my
self. He was present and urged and
insisted that the license be given to
Colonel Jones. 1 shall if necessary
call witnesses. 1t has been denied that
there was any agreement. One was
signed by our party and Mr.. Ballou on
September Z, 1901. Mr.. Ballou was to
get Colonel Parker's signature. The
latter left for the states leaving his
proxy with Mr. Wundenberg. He was
willing to sign if the terms were as
agreed upon; that he had in error Sc
cured an option from Mr.. and Mrs
Booth and wished the matter of the
option properly represented in the
agreement the option being adverse tC
his interests. being only an option fol
the term of one year or sixty days
notice from Mr.. and Mrs. Booth. This
statement was made to me-"
Mr.. Gehr then said that the matter
was dropped after the Ryan opinion
was received and that at that time

plication of Jones, representing the

HolEs WILL NOT RUN.
His Friends Annoyed by Statements
to the Contrary.

20 the SoutFdFys
Special to Times-Republican.
Waterloo, April 26.-Former Cover
nor Boies will not under any circum
stances be candidate on the dem
ocratic ticket for congress. His friends
are somewhat annoyed by statements
that have appeared to the contrary.
A close friend Of the former exec
utive declares he is in a position to
know from actual evidence in his
hands that Governor Boies has re-
peatedly said he will not become a
candidate for the Office and that he
can not accept the nomination.
'The former governors position in
this matter" said the gentleman, has
been all along that of a reticence to be
drawn into any discussion of the sub
ject. He has never told anyone he
would take the nomination, and he
certainly has not stood as seeker for
the honor. I am in a. position to say
that all use of his name has been
without authority. He does not take
this position because of failing health,
growing years, or lack of vigor, for it
is known to all who see the governor
that he is as strong and hearty a spe-
cilnen of American manhood as he was
ten or twenty years ago. His desire
to refrain from entering politics is an
active way again is because of the
large business interests which he has
here and in Grundy county, and the
supervision of which he takes persona
and special interest in. Under these
circumstances it would be good
thing if the papers would stop their
everlasting trying to get the governor
into politics."
