Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. 2o.-W. F.

Gently addressed a letter to President
Baer, OF the Philadelphia & Reading
railroad company. appealing to him as a
Christian to settle the miners strike. The
writer said that if Christ were taken
more into business affairs there would be
less trouble in the world. If Mr.. Baer
would grant the strikers a slight con-
cession they would gladly return to work
and the president of the Philadelphia &
Reading railroad company would have the
blessing OF Gcd and the respect Of the
nation. President Baer replied as fol-
lows:

religious views in favor Of the right of
the workingman to control business in

secure fair wages for the work he does.

ments that he held to be indispensable.
Chief Justice Holmes has shown in his
utterances from the bench that he takes
broad, generous view of the class of
questions which have arisen as q result OF
labor organization. Generally speaking,
he is sympathetic with the efforts of labor
by organization and intelligent -co-opera-
tion to lift up society. He might be de-
scribed as the antithesis Of Judge Jack
son of West Virginia. sa= .-a
At the same time Justice Holmes is not
a radical. Between him and socialism
there is the widest possible' gulf. He has
no more sympathy with the crank
theorist, the reckless labor agitator or the
demagogue than he has with the capital
ist who wilfully violates the laws or the
employer Of labor who perverts the laws
for his own selfish purpose. President
Roosevelt has convinced himself that
Chief Justice Holmes could not be inf1u-
enced by clamor; that he would be as un-
influenced by the clamor of capital as he
would by, the clamor of labor; that on the
bench of the supreme court Of the United
States he would adhere as in1exibly to his
convictions and his conceptions of right
and wrong as has always marked his
course in the past. Believing these
things, the president appointed him.
AS to Chief Justice Holmes views on
'imperialism' and the weight they had in
influencing the president in his appoint
ment this can be said: The president,
quite naturally, would not have appointed
man who held views Giametrically op-
posed to those which he holds most dear.
To do such thing would have seemed to
him most ridiculous. 1t is safe to say
that the president would not appoint on
the supreme court Of the United States an
avowed anti-imperialist like Edward At
kinson, for instance. However, if Justice
Holmes were an anti-imperialist but will
ing to accept the doctrine of stare decisis,
then IN view of his possession of the main
qualification that the president required
he would still have been appointed. AS it
is, the president deems himself doubly
fortunate in having found justice who is
sound on two great questions, labor and
| the power of the republic to hold territory
under any form of government congress
may choose or prescribe.

to elect him to it. The statement is as
follows:
Detroit, Aug 90 1907 will not seek the
appointment or election to the Office Of United

the death of Senator Mcmillan. The office
and honors are too great to be thus gained

nothing further to say. A note was sent

s"Will you make any effort to secure

In reply the general sent word that

says that organized labor is to have at
supreme court of the United Stat es. For
the first time In the history of the United
States, probably, the president has chosen
member of the highest court with a
view to securing justice who Is in SYM
pathy with the modern Industrial and So
cial institution-organized labor.
President Roosevelt has been charged
with attempting to pack the supreme
court because of his appointment Of Chief
Justice Holmes to be an associate justice
vice Justice Gray, the reason for the ap-
pointment of Chief Justice Holmes, ac-
cording to the presidents critics, being
that he is an imperialist and can be safely
counted upon to maintain the imperial
doctrine of the court as enunciated in the
insular decisions, should that doctrine
again come before the court for review.
But the real reason why Chief Justice
Holmes was selected rather than one of
the other prominent New England law
yers whose names were mentioned, was a
much more interesting one, and shows
that the president thinks Of other things
besides Imperialism and fighting. The
following statement is made On exact
authority:
One of the topics that the president
has always been deeply interested in and
studied as much, perhaps, as any one,
Is the labor question. His interest in the
subject is shown from even casual ref
erence to his essays published under the
title "The Strenuous, Life" and in that
collection Is an address which was de-
livered at the Chicago labor day picnic,
Sept. 8, 1900, in which the presidents S
views are clearly stated. The president
realized that one of the greatest problems
confronting this country is the labor
question in all; it's varying, aspects, and
| that congress will be compelled in the
near future to enact legislation that may
because of it's Importance, have to be
passed upon by the supreme court of the
United States, before its constitutional
! ity can be determined.
| In view of this fact he wanted for his
! new Justice a man who was neither the
enemy Of labor nor one who would
servilely truckle to it. In examining into
the records of the men whose names were
suggested to him that Of Chief Justice
Holmes appeared to meet the require.

POWER IS STILL IN
George Alfred Lambs Ex-Partner
ROasts Lamb.

New York, Aug. 2O.-A hearing in the
proceedings at which Power was to have
testified, was set for yesterday but was
adjourned until Thursday. Attorney
Lamb tried to get an order for Powers

him to testify, but as Judge La Combe

At present a resident at the fort who
wishes to visit Minneapolis must either
travel a roundabout route on the train,
or else take a car to St. Paul and then
come here. The result has been that St.
Paul has the lions share of the forts
business.
Work is just beginning which will
eventually mean that over a half million
dollars is to be spent in improvements
at Smelling. The post is to be enlarged
and additional troops stationed there.
When this has been done it is estimated
that the annual expenditures of people at
the fort will reach fully $4,000, 900 and, as
one business man expressed it: Mime
apolis would fall all over itself to secure
an industry, the annual pay roll of which
even approximated that sum, although
citizens generally do not appear to re-
alize the import ance Of securing direct
route between this city and the post"
A Committee of Workers..
| The matter has been considered seri-
| ously for some time past. Several in
! formal meetings have been held and, at
the last one, committee was appointed,
not to canvass the situation or to
report on the adyisability'' of such a
plan, but "to get the road" This COM
mittee is made up Of w. M. Regan, P. D.
and George D. Dayton. No organization
has been formed, but the business men
have been interested in the matter and
their co-operation secured. 1t has not
been thought best to go at the matter
with blare of trumpets, but the commit
tee is already collecting data and pre-
pairing to carry on Intelligent, systematic
and persistent work.
The stretch of track to be constructed
in order to provide direct line to the
fort is short The street railway company
already has trackage extending beyond
; Minnehaha Falls, and it would only be
necessary to continue this line on to the
fort. The line would have to enter the
