Philadelphia, Nov. 23.--The Public
Ledger tomorrow will publish a state
ment by Wayne MacVeagh covering
the efforts that have been made to
bring about an amicable adjustment of
the dispute between the anthracite coal
companies and their mine workers. Mr..
MacVeagh saYs:f
THE parties on both sides were con-
testing every inch of ground when the
great railway corporations volunteered
an advance of 10 per cent. of the wages
OF their employees. AS soon as such adj
vance was announced, it seemed to be
taken for granted that notwithstand-
ing the advance of two years ago, a
like increase would now be granted
the miners. and the question of wages
being out Of the way, there was a gen
eral feeling in favor Of trying to ad-
just the other differences.
While !, was still ross-examining
Mr.. Mitchell. I was asked to meet him
and his counsel in conference to make
an effort to reach some adjustment of
an amicable nature. We discussed the
matters in dispute on different occa-
sions and at great length, and at last,
by the invaluable assistance of Mr.. E
B. Thomas, the president Of the two

he thought. of a possible adjustment
was reached and when IL was submit
ted to the other gentlemen, who. with
Mr.. Thomas, have signed the letter re-
questing the appointment of the com
mission, they all concurred with Mr..
THOMAS in approving 1t as a basis of
negotiations"

ELIOT OF HARVARD
GIVES VIEWS ON LABOR UNIONS

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 2s-In an
address at a private meeting of the
Colonial Club of this city. President
Eliot of Harvard made a com2rehen-
sive statement Of his views on labor
unions.
He said that the work of the labor
unions must be counted among the ef-
forts TO make the lot of mankind
more satisfying and happier, and that
their strength lay in their belief in this
work as their mission. He then enum-
Grated the condition which he desig-
mated as humane conditions of EN-
ployment--those to which laboring men
may rightly aspire.
First was a rising wage based on in
creased experience, attainments and
age; second, steady employment after
adequate probation; third, the oppor-
tunity for the workingnan to establish
a permanent home: fourth, conditions
which enable him to give his employer
generous service and to take pride in
it; fifth, the right to a pension on dis
ability, which gives throughout life re-
lief from one great anxiety, and that
PUBLIC consideration which goes with a
steady job and self-respecting,
though humble or unobserved. career.
These fve conditions of humane en-
ployment, President Eliot said. were
realized to-day in Harvard University.
Plainly they were not realized in the
great American industries employing
unskilled labor. where the terms OF
service were often those Of instant
dismissal"
Another serious difficulty with Amer
lean employment was that il was spas
modic. Complaints from employees were
often made the ground for dismissal.
The present antagonism of employ:
ers and the unions was the fault of
both parties, but on the whole :he

Meanwhile II is evident that strong
efforts are being made to influence
public opinion in favor of deRydzew-
ski. The newspapers, with hardly an
exception, adopt the view of pure ac-
cident and manifest much sympathy
for him. Interviews with his Rus
sian friends are published, in which
they speak of him in the highest terms
and dwell upon the gentleness of his
character. Thus, the councillor of the
Russian embassy, who alone has been
admitted to see deRydzewski in the
infrmary of the prison. to which he
was transferred on account of throat
trouble, is quoted as saying:
'DeRydzewski Is much more affected
by the frightful death of his friend
than by what has happened to HIM
self. His attitude is that of an inno-
cent man, who does not doubt that the
truth will soon be proclaimed"

In a Boston dispatch an English
manufacturer is quoted as saying: I'm
my opinion, Fall River is doomed as a
leading market for print cloths The
future market will be in the South.
Even at the present time the Fall
River mills are, in many instances,
merely struggling for existence.
There is no denying the fact that the
South is steadily drawing away this
cotton industry from New England.
At present this is particularly true in
the case OF print cloths and the cheap
er goods. A capitalist contemplating
the erection of new cotton mill for
the manufacture of cheap goods and
choosing the North in preference to
the South would be committing finan-
cfal suicide"
