PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 12-Professor Samuel
M. Lindsay, commissioner Of education in
Porto Rico and; formerly Of the University
of Pennsylvania faculty, reached home in
this city last night from Ponce. He comes
to this country to submit his report to
President Roosevelt and to take his family
back with him to Porto Rico. He spoke
with enthusiasm Of the educational pros
poets of the island. and, speaking Of the
recent insular election, said:
1.-The election went off remarkably we'll.
The insular police proved able and ef-
ficient, and the quiet and orderly manner
in which the election was conducted in
every district in the island reflects credit
upon the people of Porto Rico. This was
the first real contest, because two years
ago, when the first election for a delegate
to Washington and house Of delegates
in the insular legislature was held only one
party went to the polls. This time both
republicans and federals voted in nearly
all the precincts and the federal party
made good showing. The present repub-
lican delegate to Washington, FREDERICK
Degetau, was reelected by a large ma
jority.'
Mr.. Lindsay says reports Of riot and
bloodshed in Porto Rico were much ex-
aggerated.

some disorder in places, but at no time
was there any danger Of disturbances with
which the civil government and the police

parts Of nearly every state in the union -

Referring to the recent strike, Mr..
Truesdale says that he is reliably Informed
that 80 per cent of it's employees were op-
posed to the. strike, but were forced to
enter upon it by majority vote Of the
Mine Workers in other fields, Mr.. Trues-
dale follows closely the lines Of MIR. Baer's
argument as to the dissimilarity between
the work in the anthracite mines and that
in bituminous mines. He declares that
it is impossible to adopt uniform rate
to be paid to the miner for q unit Of coal
mined at all mines. =, The declaration is
also made that the anthracite miners, as
a. rule, do not work as many hours a day
as do the biturninOus miners, and the
opinion is advanced that if the wages of
the anthracite miners had been less than
that of other workmen, they would have
found employment elsewhere, which they
did not do until they reached the point
of general prosperity: He says that:
Prior to the introduction Of agitators
and mischief-makers, the anthracite
workers were on an average as prosper
Gus, comfortable and contented as any
body of workers in similar employment
in this country" .-.,..
The wages, it is added, are such that
frugal employees have saved a substantial
amount every year.
Mr.. Truesdale resists the demand for
reduction of 20 per cent In the hours Of
labor, saying that no such branch Of bust
hope to compete successfully in the mar
kets Of the world if it's hours Of labor are
restricted. He declares that there is no
unjust discrimination in the weighing of
coal, as it is measured rather than
weighed, and he asserts that the demand
is out Of all reason and It's effect, so far
as the company is concerned, is demand
for an additional increase in the wages
now paid miners of from 5 to 40 per cent"
The present method of measurement is
declared to be the result of long usage
and fair to all concerned.
President Oliphant of the Delaware &
Hudson. company, in his reply, declares
that the wages paid by his company are
just and adequate. He also says that
chose Of It's employees who perform con-
tract or piece work as a matter of their
own volition, work only about six hours
q. day, and take numerous holidays with
out the consent or approval Of this re-
spondent, and their earnings by hours Of
actual work are, therefore, much higher
than those in any similar employment
Denial Is made of all the allegations in
connection with the demand for shorter
hours, and 1t is commended that such re-
duction necessarily would increase the
price OF coal. While admitting that the
mine owners sell their coal by the ton,
