MANUFACTURERS HAVE A PLAN

IT

A dispatch from New York yesterday
says: The regular meeting Of the coal
operators today, was preceded by a con-
ference with a committee of the National
Association of Manufacturers, and at the
conference the salient points Of plan to

SHAW DEFENDS THE TARIFF.
Secretary of the Treasury Speaks at
Baltimore Meeting.

A dispatch from Baltimore, Md, st
night says: Secretary of the Treasury Les
lie NJ. Shaw was the stellar attra ction to-
night at the republican ratification and
mass meeting at Music Hall. Five thou
sand voters, reinforced by many women and
children, crowded around the rostrum to
listen to the address of the head Of the
country's financial system. Secretary Shaw
was introduced in a few welI-chosen words
by John B. Ramsay, a prominent local
banker, the chairman of the meeting.
Secretary Shaw said. in part:
Our democratic friends are ever extend
They have more than once made a cam
paign upon the naked issue: The tariff is a
tax They have always complained most
bitterly, and sympathiZed with the plain,
there has been a surplus Of public revenue.
Again and again they have declared that
there should be no more revenues collected
than are necessary for the maintenance of
the government economically administered.
II am not surprised that our friends Won
der at the apparent ease with which, under
a protective policy, revenues are provided.
The secret is in the consuming capacity of
the American people. Whenever the pro-
duct of American labor is protected from
competition with cheaper foreign labor, the
American labor consumes; and whenever
the American laborer consumes, the Ameri-
can farmer finds ready market for the
products Of his farm; and whenever the
American farmer has a market, he in turn
becomes a consumer, and the American
manufacturer also finds a market, and he
in turn employs labor. And so the circuit

MR.. GOMPERS' VIEW
CRITICISES THE PROPOSITION OF
MINE OPERATORS.
Says That President Roosevelt Should
Be Left to Choose a Commits
sion Unhampered.

President Gompers of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, with whom Mr.. Mitchell
has been in constant communication and
consultation, declined all requests of news
papers for an expression of opinion on the
proposition of the coal operators, but last
night stated his views to the Associated
Press. Mr.. Gompers said:
you can readily understand that / want
to leave this whole matter in the hands
of Mr.. Mitchell and his colleagues. 1 am
particularly anxious not to say anything
that might be construed otherwise. l Will
say that in my opinion the proposition made
by the operators, at least so far as their
designation of who should be invited to go
on the commission of arbitration is con-
cerned. is an insult to the President of the
United States. 1 desire that the President
should use his discretion in the selection of
the personnel of the commission. BY indi-
rection it would seem from the operators
proposition that the President has evil de-
signs on the mine owners. No one believes
this. The operators indicate what class Of
men should be selected for the personnel
of the commission. For instance, they say
that an expert mining engineer. experienced
in the mining of coal and other minerals.
and not In any way connected with coal
mining properties, shall be one of the mem
bers. In other words this one must be an
expert miner out of a job. This member
must either have been employed in the
mines expert must expect or hope
to be employed in the future an expert.
Another must be an eminent sociologist.
Well, who? Must he be a speculative So
biologist. theorist, what? Another
member is to be some man actively partic-
ipating in the mining and selling of coal
and familiar with the commercial as well
the physical part of the business. This
must certainly be one of the operators or
one Of their representatives. No other man
familiar with the commercial features of
the business in those fields fits that de-
scription.
I'm the classes of persons from whom the
be selected there is to be not a single rep
resentative of the man who digs the coal,
the man who works in and about the mine.
Now, as a matter of fact, the entire
question of selection and appointment of
commission should be left to the President
of the United States. Mr.. Mitchell has
said that he will be perfectly satisfied with
who ever the President selects. If the mine
owners are to be permitted to suggest who
shall constitute the arbitration commission,
why, in all fairness, should it not follow
that Mr. Mitchell should likewies be per-
mitted to make suggestions as to the per-
sonnet of the commission? l hope that the
President will decline to act on this propo-
sition of the mine. owners unless ne is given
a free hand"

LICENSE FOR DIR. LoRENz.
Physician Who Operated on Armour
Girl to Practice in Illinois.

A dispatch from Chicago yesterday says:
The Illinois state board of health today
served a summons on DR.. Adolf Lorenz,
professor of orthopedic surgery in the Uni
versity Of Vienna, to appear before that
body and state why he should not be made
to comply with the law regulating the prac-
tice Of surgery in this state.
The trouble has arisen from the fact
that since the operation upon the young
child of Mr. Ogden Armour last Sunday
for congenital dislocation of the hip Dr.
Lorenz has been besieged with appeals to
operate on others afflicted with the same
disease and the state board of health now
insists that the doctor should take out a
license If he intends to remain here and
practice his profession.
DR.. Lorenz later appeared before the
state board of health and. complying with
the law, secured a license to practice his
profession in the state of Illinois.

reason why she could bring herself to
choose for her husband the wife who
should be her successor. Women
neighbors of hers who knew her quite
intimately, and who yesterday dis
cussed the coming marriage of her
husband, told me that her strange re-
quest of both her husband and her
friend could be explained only on the
ground of unSelfiShneSS and an uncOn-
querable regard for her husbands well
fare
Perhaps the statement will be made
that Mrs. EiSmann did not love her
husband, and, therefore, that there was
no selS sacrifice, no self abnegation in
the thought that must have been caus-
ed by the mental picture of his clasp
ing another in his arms, of his bestoW-
ing upon another the fond caresses Of
a bridegroom.
Those who knew the woman, how
ever, assured me that she loved her
husband with an affection that could
not be shaken, and that her sole de-
sire in life appeared to be to secure
his happiness.
What impressed me as I talked to
her husband is the fact that he APP
parently sees nothing odd in the whole
affair. He takes it as a matter of fact
that his wife should do exactly as she
did.
When I saw Mr.. Eismann, and asked
him when his marriage to Miss
Schmidt would take place, he declined
to tell me. He said that the circum-
stances of his wife's death, and the
general knowledge in the community
in which he resided that the engage
ment was the direct result of his wife's
dying wish, had brought about such
publicity Of the whole affair that he
did not desire any more, and he was
determined to keep the date Of the
wedding a secret if he possibly could
