REPORT is PERSISTENT
That DIR. Corbus Has Been Notified to
Resign His Position at the Kan
kakee Asylum.

Kankakee, Ills, Nov. 26.-Though
the story is denied by Len Small, presf-
dent of the asylum trustees, it is per-
sistently reported here that the trus-
tees have asked for the resignation of
DR.. ]. c. Corbus, of the eastern insane
hospital. DR.. Il. $. Dewey, superin-
tendent of a sanitarium at Wauwatosa,
Wis, is reported to have been rendered
the superintendency. but to have re-
fused unless he could run the institu-
ton without political interference.
Len Small said: DIR. COrbuS has had
more experience as president of the
state board of charities than any other
man in Illinois. l have heard no eX-
preston fromany member of the board
of trustees regarding his leaving the
asylum. 1 have no idea that DIR. Dewey
would accept the superintendency." \
message from DIR. Dewey at Wauwa
tosa says he knows nothing of the ten

AS TO MINERS AND MECHANICS
Difference of Conditions Under Which
They Learn Their Trades.

Difference of Conditions Under Which
They Learn Their Trades.
After saying that an unusually good
breast is only a temporary advantage
to a miner and cuts small figure in
the annual wage, Simpson proceeded:
again it must ,be remembered when
comparing a miner with a mechanic
that the latter must start as an ap-
prentice, receiving possibly 60 cents a
day during the first year. In the sec
Ond year he may earn a little more,
still more in the third, and during the
fourth about $1.25 a day. After that
his wage is from $3.50 to So a day, ac-
cording to his skill and good fortune
in securing q desirable position. Com
pare this long period of work and
small earnings with the apprenticeship
of the miner. An immigrant just land
ed on American soil, speaking one or
two words of English, utterly ignorant,
is eligible as miners laborer to
position which gives him the oppor-
tunity to learn and to acquire his min
er's certificate while earning between
81 and $40 per day. Is there any COM
parison?
Let the commission bring out these
matters This testimony can easily be
secured. It's presentation and the pub
licfty which can be given to it will be
of indefinite service to every mining
company. The public will have an OPP
portunity of seeing the other side.
Such testimony will clear the
atmosphere of much of the maudlin
sentiment which is apparent. Thus far
the general effect of the testimony
presented has given undue prominence
to Mr. Mitchell. In the four and one
half days in which he was kept on the
stand the only point of value ascer-
tanned was that he was in sympathy
with the miners and was not familiar
with anthracite mining.
I'VE think it highly desirable that
any attempt at compromise should

ton should continue. and that one or

Operators Block Settle

WILL NOT CONFER
Independent Mine Own
erS Are the Active
Opponents.

New York, Nov. ga serious hitch
occurred yesterday in the plans for
settlement of the coal controversy by
conference between the coal operators
and the miners union, and it is now
almost certain that the final adjust
ment of the points at issue will be
referred again to the Gray commits
sion. AT a meeting between the presi-
dents of the coal roads and a large
number of Independent operators a
strong protest was entered by the lat
ter against treating directly with the
miners. An Invitation to meet Mitch
ell at Washington on Friday was de-
clined peremptorily, and it was agreed
unanimously that in the judgment of
the operators it was best for the pres
ent to go on with the hearing before
the commission.
He Would Inform the Public.
The protest was presented by C. D.
Simpson, of the West End Coal COM
pany, who said in part: During the
last five months no consistent effort
has been made to inform the public
of the true state of affairs. Conse-
quently it has accepted the miners

employees unfairly, defrauding them of
their earnings and preventing them
from making Il decent livelihood. 1t is
our opinion that testimony
may be taken which will prove clearly
to the public at large that the wages
we have paid and the treatment ac-
corded our men have been fair, and
that their earnings have been large
in proportion to the intelligence re-
quired and their willingness TO work.
why So Many Men Are Employed
''As to miners it can be shown that
their annual earnings are more than
the amount called fair wages which
was specified by two witnesses called
for the plaintiff. Their wages per hour
are greater than those of skilled me-
chanics working and living in the
same regions, and they work less hours
per day through choice, and conse-
quently-thrOugh the same choice
less days per year. since the operator
must employ large number of men
in order to secure the output which
might be produced by fraction of
that number. This is very readily
susceptible of proof by our books and
those of your own mining company"

such pipe dreams" Nor were our
friends in FL Paso the only ones who
we're laughing at us for presuming to
have a railroad of own. When the
matter was first mentioned the Albu-
querque papers accused us of building

This road will mean much to the
town of Las Cruces. Now that we have
shown that pumping can be made a
success in this valley it will give us a
direct outlet to the markets of Kansas
City and Chicago for our products.
Not only that but it wild make Las
Cruces the natural place for a smelter,
and will create an increased activity in
the mines east of town, doing away
with a ffteen-mile haul by wagon OF

Booming, as you probably know. is for

from place to place, staying long
enough to buy a suit of clothes, per-

never come when these men will be

shows route through the Organ noun
tains to be a practicable one as there
Ii very little doubt but that it will, the
road is practically certain of being
built. The road will be built by east
ern capitalists. They have gone about
the matter in a business-like way,
spending their own money and asking
fayors of no one. The work is being
done under the direction of Attorney
r.. l.. Young, of this place, who is the
agent of the men building the road.
To Mr.. Young should be given the
credit of the road. He was the one to
interest eastern people in the feasibil-
Ay of the road and through him they
began their investigation of the matter
which has led up TO the preliminary
survey at the present time. He was
