twenty per cent. and others will not be
advanced more than fve per cent. but
there will be an increase all along the

"There have been several reasons

Mr.. Mitchell stoutly maintained that
the discipline In the organization IL rs
good ~ 1t possibly could be where i47.-
900 men are involved. He claimed that
the strikers were not entirely respuns-
ible for the acts OF lawiessness that
were committed. He rezretted that
members Of the union had in some in
stances violated the law, even after
they had been warned to refrain from
doing 10. but made the excuse that in
times OF great excitement there waS
more or less disorder.
Mr.. Mitchell. after further questions,
said that any man who would use dyn-
amite Tor the purpose OF destroying
property ought to be sent to the peni-
tentiary. no matter whether he was q
union or non-union man, an operator
or anybody else. He said q miner was
wen versed In the use Of dynamite
and knew when it could be exploded
without injury.
ut is peculiar thing" said he.
that NO one was hurt, no building
blown up. The miners. il they want
ed to blow up property. knew how to
do it."
The investigation is dragging too
slowly to suit the commissioners, and
1t is likely the commission will prob
ably tomorrow ask both parties to
agree upon some arrangement. for ex-
pedittng the Investigation. Mr.. Nit
cheli has now been on the stand for
three days and has. been examined by
the attorneys for only two companies
The second attorney. Mr.. Mcveagh. is
not yet through with him. The law
yers for the Delaware. Lackawanna &
Western or the Philadelphia & Read
ing company will next. take Mr.. Nit
chell in hand; unless the program is
changed. ~
The attorneys for the non-union men
presented their case to the commits
sion tonight. They have asked the
commission to take up the grievances
Of the non-union men growing out Of
the strike. and as the non-unionists
are not logical party to the arbitra-
tion scheme their attorneys had been
requested to give reasons why the COM
missioners should take up their case.
II 1t is decided to hear them, 1t will
inject an entirely new feature into the

Governor orman Declines to Interfere
In Their Behalf.
Denver, Nov. 1s.-Governor Orman
has declined to pardon the Colorado
City gamblers. He decided yesterday
to refuse the appeal for remission of
the fines and jail sentences imposed
by Judge Cunningham Of 81 Paso
county, and the four gamblers and one
saloonkeeper will have to pay the pen
alties imposed. Great pressure was
brought on the governor to remit the
Jail sentences, but there was even
heavier pressure from the law and or
der element, which the executive could
not Withstand.
When It was found that q political
effort was being made to secure par.
dons, great indignation was aroused
among the decent element Of Colorado
Springs and El Paso county. A peti
ton signed by nearly every Demo
cratic ofnceholder in Ell Paso county
had been presented to the governor,
asking the pardon Of the men, and
delegations OF politicians visited the
capitol and used every argument they
could bring to bear. These were fol
lowed by similar visits from the law
and order people. who brought in pc
titions containing several thousand
names. begging the governor to let
the law take its course.
The anti-gamblfng crusade culmlnat-
ed Sunday night with mass meetings
In every church in Colorado Springs
and Colorado City. at which prominent
people addressed the crowds and
voiced the strong sentiment against
the gamblers which started tho move
ment. President Slocum of Colorado
College and other leading citisens Wis
tied the governor and informed him
Of the effect his support Of the politi-
clans would have. At the Sunday
night meetings they did not hesitate
to speak In verv plain language.

A.F. OFL. WILL
". FIGHT FOR PEACE

New Orleans, La, Nov. 15.-The Far
West again showed up strong on the
door of the American Federation of La
Dor convention yesterday. A resolution
has been formulated that is intended as
death blow to the American Labor
Union, the big western rival of the
American Federation. 1t Is provided
that upon the passing Of the resolution
that all unions holding charters In the
western concern must either draw out
Of 1t and come to the Federation alone
or else their charters will be revoked
without ceremony. A campaign look
ing to the pushing of this measure was
opened, and 1t is said the Colorado del
egation will largely support 1t.
A resolution was introduced propos-
ing to remove the national headquar-
ters from Washington to Denver.
Some Of the most interesting features
Of the day came from delegates over
the Rockies. A. Furnsith Of San Fran
cisco introduced a resolution asking
the Federation Of Labor to go on record
as opposed to the building OF the Mica
ragua canal, on the ground that It
would stir up strife among the small
Latin states and would precipitate
bloodshed. Another by Furnsith was
in opposition to the subsidy bill. 4
The great fight Of the industrial or
ganizations was placed on the boards
to-day and tonight. / The executive
council is hearing the arguments Of
the Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners, who demand the revoking Of
the charters Of the Amalgamated
Woodworkers and Of the Amalgamated
Society Of Carpenters; also the fight Of
the Garment Workers Of America, who
ask for the scalp Of the clothing work
ers Of the West.
Resolved. That we declare our un-
faltering :fealty to the trade labor
movement Of our country. devoting our
best efforts to the uplifting Of the wage
earners Of our country, giving them
hopes and encouragement and appeal
ing to them to, unite with organized
workers, 30 that the fraternity Of man
Of the world may be achieved at the
earliest possible date"
This in the message sent out by the
American Federation Of Labor on the
twenty-first anniversary of its birth to
the laboring men throughout the
world.
The committee on resolutions report
ed favorably on the motion declaring
against the ship subsidy bill. and after
warm debate 1t was adopted.
Other resolutions reported by the
committee and on which action was
taken are as follows:
For the enactment OF mining laws In
the Indian territory providing for the
licensing OF mining engineers and
hosting engineers. Adopted.

postmaster at Nevada, Missouri, where
the school is located. The proceeding
grew out of . fraud order issued by the
PostoAice Department prohibiting the

The original bill asked for an injunc-
ton to prohibit the postmaster from
obeying this order. On trial in the
United States Circuit Court for the
Western district of Missouri the depart.

murrer. To-Day, opinion reversed that

MITCHELL AND MAC YEAGH
!, HAVE CONTEST OF WITS

Scranton, Pa. Nov. 17.-In the pres
ence OF as many persons Is could be
jammed into the superior court room
to-day. Wayne dacVeagh, for the Erie
company, and John Mitchell, for the
miners. continued their brilliant battle
Of cross-examination before the an
thracite coal commission. The two
men. the ONE In his thirties andf the
other In his seventies. were followed
with intense interest by both COM
missioners and the crowd throughout
the day. and the contest will be re-
slmed in the morning.
The fourth demand of the union,
which calls for a yearly trade agree
ment and which means straight-out
recognition OF the union, was the bone
pf contention. and although four hours
were taken UP In 4 discussion OF the
question. not much material progress
was made. Wayne Macveagh, skilled
In the art Of cross examination, at
tempted to show the utter irresponsi-
bility OF the union and Its unlitness to
make contracts which It could not live
to. His principal argument was tho
alleged boycott, and he often hard
pressed the miners' president for an
answer. The latter, however. slowly
and deliberately gave some reply. but 1t
did not always satisfy his inquisitor.
Mr.. Macveagh, in the presence Of
sthe assembly. expressed his admiration
OF the ability of the witness, and on
one occasion. when Mr.. Mitchell par
ried question regarding the boycot-
ting Of coal and iron policeman by a
hotel keeper, the distinguished attor-
hey threw un his hands, laughed, and
said:
"Mr. Mitchell. you are the best wit
pess for yourself j ever confronted"
Mr.. MacVeagh weighed heavily on
what he said was reign of terror in
the anthracite region during the period
of the strike. He read list of four
teen names of men who were killed
during that time, and also submitted in
evidence about seventy-five printed
pages of acts Of alleged violence. boy
colt and intimidation, and with the
assistance Of statistics and other docu-
ments maintained that 1t would be ut
terly impracticable for the coal COM
panies he represents to enter into an
agreement with an organization that
could not control its own men.

His one fault as an administrator has
been the inability to delegate in others

Young people are attracted to this rub

stick OF the furniture offered at these
stores is cheaply put together and by
glue and thick coats Of veneer is made
only to sell: 1t barely gets into the

what was thought to be cheap pur-
