 The conference then adjourned until 3 o'clock. Upon reassembling, MT Baer spoke as follows:
 MT. President, do we understand you correctly that we will be expected to answer the proposition submitted by MT Mitchell this morning?"
 The presidential will be a pleasure to me to hear any answer that you are willing to make.
 MT. Baer-I have prepared my an- swer. (Here the statements printed in another column were given).
 The president asked MT. Mitchell f he had anything further to say.
 MT. Mitchell said: "The charge made by the gentlemen that twenty murders have been committed in the anthra cite coal region during the present strike is untrue If they will name the men, and will show that they have committed the murders. l will resign my position. That is a fair proposition. MT. Presi- dent, that is fair example of how our organization and our people are malgned. The truth of the matter is, as far as I know, there have been seven deaths unfortunately. No one regrets them more than I do. Three of whom were committed by the coal and iron police, and no one else has been charged with them. God knows the miners do not escape being charged with every burnings. There was a reward offered for burnings. I can bring affidavits of hundreds of peoples if necessary that the lightning caused one burning that they charged to the workers. MT President, I have admitted on more than one occasion that there has been some lawlessness but will say that a large portion of such lawlessness has been provoked by criminals who have been brought into the anthracite re- gions to recruit the coal and iron po- llce. NdHl IO Say, MI. I lSoAueIt that I feel keenly the attacks made up- on me and my people, but I came here with the intention of doing nothing and saying nothing that would affect recon ciliatiOn."
 The president then asked the repre- sentatives of the anthracite company whether they would accept MT. Mitch elPs proposition. They answered "no"
 In response to a further question from the president they stated that they woud have no dealings whatever with MT. Mitchell looking toward a settle ment. and that they had no other proposition to make, save what was contained in the statemnt of MT. Bael which in effect was that if any mar chose to resume work and had a diffi- culty with his employer both should leave the settlement of the question tc ! the judge of the court of common pleas of the district in which the mine was l located. At about o'clock the confer | ence was brought to 8 close without agreement.

 Third, then MT. President, there is great pressing duty imposed upon us at this time to the thousands of true loyal citizens of Pennsylvania who have been lawfully pursuing their various avocations or professions under great difficulties and who with great sac';- flee have been abused, viilified, boycott ted and in many cases almost ruined because they had the manhood to raise their voices against the illegal act and 5 violence of this illegal organization and it's officers and agents. No step can ba taken by us, MT President, which can possibly result in placing these goo1 citizens of Pennsylvania at the farther mercy of this illegal organization. it's officers and members Think of it, MT. President, physicians have been thra2e- ened and boycotted because they saw fit to minister to the dying child If some poor worker because he w9s cX- ercisng his God-given right to labo" for his family, to provide for the wants of his dying child. Members of the clergy have been treated likewise for perform ing the offices of the dead to the men- Der of family of a non-union worker. The conditions there are simply inde- . scribale and it is hard to believe that they can possibly exist to the exfert that they have anywhere in this free country
 M Fourth, another duty, MT. President, and we regard the most supreme. One sixth of the membership of this illegal organization is composed of young men and boys between the ages of fourteen and twenty, the future citizens and lawmakers of the great state of Penn sylvania. These young men and boys during the past two years have had their young, immature minds poisoned with the most dangerous, anarchistic, distorted, wicked views and errors con- cerning the rights of citizenship and property that any one can possibly con- ceive of; all through the teachings and practice of the officers, organizers and #@ association. MT. President, no adjust ment of this matter can be thought of which by any possibility can result in farther strengthening and fixing in the minds of this youthful element in the anthracite coal fields the belief that the teachings of this organization and of it's officers with their acts and doings in support thereof constitute the ethics and objects of American citiZenships frequently referred to during the past weeks in proclamations issued in be- half of this illegal organization. The consequences that may result to the coming generation in the anthracite coal regions as result of existing con- ditions there, are fraught with the gravest dangers to the stability and perpetuity of this country and it's in- stitutions.
 Fifth and finally, MT President, as a plain citizen of these United States, looking at the whole question broadly and with reference to its effect on our future welfare and prosperity, I think

it my bounded duty to resist and com
 bat with every power and faculty, both
 physical and mental, the avowed and
 evident object and purpose of this Unit
 ed Mine Workers association as exem-
 plif1ed in the anthracite district of
 Pennsylvania to-day, as taught and de-
 tended by the officers and other expon-
 ents of its we'll known and so-called
 purposes and principles.
 MT. President, I am no enemy of or
 ganized labor, when so organized as to
 ing man and when, in accomplishing
 this, lawful and legitimate methods are
 pursued. I do, however, oppose the
 United Mine Workers association be-
 cause many of it's avowed purposes are
 at variance with the spirit of our laws
 and institutions, because it's officers and
 members are not content to be gov erned by the same laws and like admin istration therefor as other citizens of
 this country. As witness of this, see the conditions in Pennsylvania with the Mine Workers association in full con- trol of the large body of it's members. violating every principle of our govel IT, ment and our laws pertaining to the
 rights of persons and property.
 The same condition exists to-day in Tennessee or Alabama where the mem-
 bers of this organization have but re-
 gently gone on strike. This same con- dition existed in Kentucky for about two years where this organization was iy7o xryIa ;+c ticed it's same unlawful methods as are being followed in Pennsylvania to-day. MT. President, we firmly believe that any adjustment of this matter as has been suggested here to-day will only re- suit in perpetuating conditions that are
 utterly abhOrrent to any good Ameri- | can citizen and most intolerable and damaging to the interests which I rep I resent. We cannot, therefore, concur therein.
 Statement of David Wilcox, Vice Presi. dent and General Counsel of tiae D. S5 II. R. R. Co.
 The United Mine Workers of Amer ica is an association composed of 8 large number of miners and laborers engaged throughout the country in mn- ing anthracite and bituminous coal and employed by the owners of the mines. It has divided the whole country into various districts, each of which is rep resented by a so-caIled president and embraces local unions and it seeks to | compel every one engaged in the indus try to join the organization. The af- fairs of the association are managed by an executive committee having it's , headquarters at Indianapolis and by conventions called from time to time l representing the entire organization.
 The object and practice of the associa-
 tion are so far as possible to regulate the supply of labor engaged in the oc- cupation of coal mining throughout the country and the terms of employment thereof. It thus consists of one cen
 tral organization which restraints and 1 controls the production of fuel every where throughout the country and | monopolizes the labor engaged therein. These are it's purposes and results. Its ultimate object is to control the entire

BREACH or MARRIAGE PROMISE.
Where a man has promised a woman
to marry her on his return from a trip
abroad, lapse of time and conduct of the
man after his return which show that
he does not intend to fulfill his promise,
may be regarded as the equivalent of a
refusal to do SO, and to dispense with a
request to consummate marriage by the
other party. In such a case evidence
of the financial standing of the defend

FIGHT AGAINST STATEHOOD BILL.

1t is evident that the senate does not
look with favor on the omnibus bill to
admit the three territories of New Mex
leo, Arizona and Oklahoma. In fact,
the majority of the senate committee on
territories, by a vote of to 5, has re-
jected the house bill looking to this end
and fayors q measure to admit Oklaho-
ma and the Indian territory as one
state. thus rejecting the application of
the other two territories. 1t is pointed
out that New Mexico and Arizona have
barely enough people for one represen-
tative each, and that statehood would
give them two senators each, with
power all out of proportion to their
standing and needs. Senator Quay is
leader of the forces contending for
statehood for all three territories. and
proposes to lose no opportunity of Sc
and the passage of the house bill adj
hitting all three. An observer at
Washington says it is evident that the
republican senators are planning to
sidetrack the matter if they can not get
a sufficient number of votes to admit
only Oklahoma and the Indian territory.
The democrats will favor the three ter
ritories, one of the senators giving no.
tice to this effect.
The total population of Arizona in
1900 was 122,212; that of New Mexico,
1880. The ratio of representation in
the house for the period ending in 1908
was 173,901. This would barely entitle
them to one representative each, while
as against two members of the house
the four senators would constitute a
power out of proportion to their rank.
Politics will play leading part in
determining the question. and it is said
Senator Quay is working with the DEM
ocrats in his efforts to admit the re-
iected territories. 1t is to be hoped
that the measure will be settled on its
merits, and that the Nevada lesson may
have full force and effecn

Sacrifice Is the Spirit Of Christmas

A curious thing comes to my mind
concerning which / have word to
say. and that is apropos Of honesty. No
one has right to give away anything
except what may be in excess of the
just demands upon the income. The
butcher, the baker, the dry goods man
needs his money as surely as does the
enthusiastic woman eager to make a
pretty gift, or the lover to bestow upon
his sweetheart what he knows is her
hearts desire. Successful Christmas
giving should mean Self-Sacrifice, and it
is often greater sacrifice to deny ones
self the privilege of expenditure than
to do just what one has in mind. be-
lieve that from the nursery days this
theory should be inculcated, and as the
coming to this world of our blessed
Lord was one great act of sacrifice, so
In planning for our Christmas gifts,
each child in the family should be en-
couraged to something of self-sacrifice
in the gathering together of the money
for his gifts. I like the picture the old
fashioned Virginia home. where round
the library table thru the fall months
the children of the household and the
kinsfolk and acquaintance who might
be within the doors, busted themselves
in the preparation of dainty nothings
which should carry on Christmas morn
the sweet words of loving renem-
brance. This is a great contrast to
pretty woman's thought who came into
my office a year ago on the 9th day of
December, and showed me $50 worth of
lace and a sunburst of diamonds which
she wore at her throat. and said, Il am
sure you are glad, DR.. Smith, that I
have these things, but I would not have
had them except that I was clever
enough to put Your bill under the paper
OF my bottom drawer. and Mr. x thinks
1t has not been sent" Can you conceive
any graver dishonesty than was this?

The Restriction Of Debate.
IINhin cr,, tIf1i lnl1nn |

Efficient representative government
and unlimited debate can not coexist in
large bodies which have to legislate on
many subjects. The discovery was first
made in the United States Immediately
prior to the war of 1872. when the
friends of the war in the house of rep
resentatives had to make the previous
question more severe to get thru the
legislation they desired. Thirteen years
ago, when Mr. Reed was SPEAKER for
the first time, the rules of the house
were further modified to facilitate the
dis patch of business and to restrict de-
bate. Thereupon the opponents of the
new rules asserted that the house had
ceased to exist as deliberative body.
The closure was introduced in the
house of commons to meet the obstruc-
tive tactics of the home rule members
under Parnel.'s lead. 1t was not sup
posed at the time that it would be re-
sorted to except to combat deliberate
obstruction. 1t has been discovered
since then that its use is necessary If
the business of the house is to be car
ried on. 1t has become apparent that
the closure must be resorted to freely to
put thru the education bill or it never
will pass. Ii members are left free to
offer amendments and discuss them the
session will be consumed and nothing
done. The Spectator and other English
journals dislike to see the right of de-
bate limited but they dislike still more
"the paralysis of parliament, that is, of
representative government" 1t will be
necessary for the house of commons to
copy more closely the methods which
enable a majority in the house of repre-
sentatives to do business if it wishes to
escape the evils of a flood of talk.
There has hitherto been great free
dom of discussion in the German reich
stag, but the government has found out
that it can not pass it's tariff bill unless
that freedom is curtailed. The PROPOSE
ton that 1t be curtailed occasioned the
tumultuous scenes in the reichstag day
before yesterday. The socialists and
others who are opposing the bill be-
cause it will increase greatly the cost of
food were as much incensed as other
minorities have been under similar cir
cumstances.
In all countries where there are legis-
lative bodies which have much work to
do, and hence have no time to waste,

strengthening the hands Of the majori-
ty so it may govern. Inevitably minor
tiles find fault with this. They de-
nounce government 'by the brute force
of majorities." They argue that every
opportunity should be given a minority
to debate measures at whatever length
they see fit. But whenever the minority
becomes the majority and the duties
and responsibilities of legislation de-
volve on it, then the necessity for par
liamentary rules which will make it
possible to transact business becomes
apparent to the men who condemned
such rules when used against them.
