Mr.. Wilcox made a long legal argu-
ment to show that the United Min work
ers is an illegal organization, aiming at
q monopoly of labor. Mr.. Wilcox held
such a combination was unlawful under
the Sherman antitrust act, and that the
true course for the National Government
to pursue is to proceed in accordance with
the precedent in the Debs case and IN
stitute suit by Injunction, enforcing the
Injunction by Federal troops. Mr.. VII
cox maintained that as soon as action
Of that kind is effectively taken, the sup
ply of coal would be ample. Mr.. Wilcox
said he did not think the miners union
could enforce the findings of a board OF
arbitration.
Mr.. Fowler submitted q brief statement
concurring in what the other operators
said.
The President then asked Mr.. Mitchell
il he had ANYTHING furthcr to say.

Mr.. Mitchell said:

ample of how our examinations and Our
people are maligncd. The truth Of the
matter is, as far as | know, there have
been seven deaths unfortunately. No
ono regrets them moro than I do. Three
of them were committed by the coal and
iron police, and no one else has been
charged with them. God knows the min

that a large portion of such laWlcssness
has been provoked by the criminals who
have been brought into the anthracite
region to recruit the coal and iron police.

The President then asked the rcpresen-
tatiVcS of the anthracite companies
whether they would accept Mr.. Mitch
els proposition. They answered No"
In response to a further question from
he President tbnv stated that fhcN
would have no dealings whatever with
Mr.. Mitchell looking toward a settle

they had no other proposition to make,
save what was contained in the state

that if any men choose to resume work
and had a difficulty With his employer
both should leave the settlement of the
question to the Judge of the Common
Pleas court in the district in which the

MAILING GIFTS.
Pointers That the Public Would Dc
Well to Observe.

During the holidays, there Is always
good deal of carelessness shown by
persons who mail boxes containing
Christmas gifts. This is followed by a
good deal of confusion and delays that
can be avoided by observing the fol-
lowing recommendations from the pos
tai authorities:
Mark all packages with what they
contain. This is a very important item,
as the rate OF postage varies greatly
with the matter contained. The post
office employees have no way of ascer-
tanning the contents of q package, ex-
cept by opening 1t.
THE rate of postage for merchandise
is one cent an ounce. books, circulars,
photographs and Christmas cards, one
cent for two ounces: newspapers and
regulac periodicals, one cent for four
ounces. All packages that are sealed
go as first-class and must be paid for
accordingly, at two cents an ounce.
IF IL package is found overweight, 1t
is opened and If any address can be
found the consignors are notified and
extra postage must be paid. Only first
class matter is forwarded postage due,
and so all packages containing mer-
chandise are held at the local office,
until the correct amount of postage is
affixed"

Furs

Some men are so skilled in
the feel and look OF furs as to
be able to tell almost the de-
grces OF latitude and longitude
in which the animal lived.
1t is such skill combined with
the advantages OF an enormous
business, that enter into Our
furs. We sell as merchants,
and are satisfied with a mer-
chants profit. But the skill
used in the selection OF Our furs
is the same quality which makes
great furricrs famous.
SO our furs are fine-skiliul-
ly chosen; and the prices are
at least % per cent, under the
market.
