PHILADELPHIA. PA. Sept. 19-Daniel
H. Mccarthy, a lawyer Of Hazelton, Pa,
visited Senator Quay a Republican State
headquarters here to-day and submitted
to the Senator the draft of a bill making
provisions for the appointment of a re-
ceiver to assume control of the anthra-
cite coal mines under certain contin-
gencies. Mr.. Mccarthy submitted the
same bill to President Mitchell of the
United Mine Workers.
The measure authorizes the Legisla-
ture to appoint receiver for the coal
companies on the ground that the corpo-
ratlons have violated the State Consti-
tuition, which provides, in article l6
section 3. that charters and franchises of
incorporated companies may be revoked
If the business of the corporation is so
conducted as to infringe the rights Of
individuals or the public welfare. 1t could
not be learned what transpired during
the conference but Mr.. Mccarthy init
mated that Senator Quay had agreed to
give the subject careful consideration.
