in those early days that he won victory in
a damage suit against the Reading. proving
the possession of such ability that those in
control Of the railroad said: This man Is
too dangerous as an enemy. We must have
him on our side.
He was employed as counsel for the COM

TOO BUSY FOR POLITICS.
George f. Baer is a many-sided man and
his friends believe that he would have been
as successful in politics he has turned
out TO be as a bus nc SIS man. He was often
mentioned for Congress in the Berks Dis

answer was i am too busy. ! can't az

1t may surprise many persons TO know
that for years Mr.. Baer was n Democrat
Of the most vigorous sort Several times
he was mentioned for Governor on that
ticket but he would never accept Then he

NR GEoRaEF BAER.

Few men are more conspicuously before
the public at this time than Mr.. George F.
Baer. Few men have ever been vested
with a larger power than that which he
now wields. As president of the Reading
Company and the recognized chief of the
anthracite operating interests, it is IN his
province TO decide whether or not more
than $4,000 miners shall work or be idle
Moreover. upon this decision rests the ma
terial welfare of millions of people through
out the country. Yet there is scarcely a
man OF even secondary prominence OF whom
80 little Is known TO the world at large as
Is known Of Mr.. George 2 Baer.
When the newspapers the other day
printed statement 10 the effect that Mr.
J Pierpont Morgan had resolved not 70 in
tsrfere in the coal strike, those who know
Ar: Baer best smiled and said:
We'll. that may be Mr.. Morgan's deter
mination, but he Couldn't do otherwise when
Ar. Baer presented the case 10 him.
And thai goes far To explain the char
acter of the man. He is dominated by de-
termination, by bulldog tenacisy. and ne has
way OF impresS1ng his views upon others
which in this case, it IS believed. even the
mighty Morgan could not resist.
Mr.. Baer Is the author OF the "uncondi-
tional surrender" policy against the min
ers. ana Mr., Morgan was inclined 10
waver toward the men 1t was he, and no
other. who swayed him TO the contrary. he
is fighter, first. last and all the time
Moreover, not one of those who know him
well would think for a moment of question:
ing his sincerity. They believe unanimously
that when he defined the position Of the
coal operators as trustees OF Providence,
he wrote according to his firm embedded
religious conviction.
That is his way He takes strong ground
on any question in which he Is interested.
and he is not afraid TO expres5 his opinion.
although the majority may differ with him
and much unpleasant criticism result
HOW HE BECAME APowER-
There is something OF heredity in this.
perhaps: something more of individuality
Mr. Basr IS a descendant OF the Germans
who fought for religious liberty at the
time OF the Reformation Doctor UrsinuS,
the author OF the Heidelberg CatechisnL be-
longs 10 the same family.
George F. Baer Is a Pennsylvanian by
birth. and he will be 60 years old on the
25th of this month. BE does not look st.
There are few gray hairs in his head and
he is as erect as a man half his years. A
dignity which is SO pronounced that it al
