Trucsdale, president of the company
who says that the. company owns
twenty-five anthracite collieries and
employs 10000 workmen in this branch
of its business.
Mr.. Truesdale, like Mr.. Baer of the
Rdading. objects to making the recog
milton of the union one of the issues
to be considered by the commission
saying that In the proposition made by
the company for arbitration one of the
express conditions was that the find
ings of the commission should govern
the conditions of employment between
it and its employees" He adds:
This company unequivocally asserts
that ii will under no condition recog-
nize or enter into any agreement with
the association known as the United
Mine Workers of America or any
branch thereof. nor will it permit
said association or its officers to die
tate the terms and conditions under
which it shall conduct its business.
Referring to the recent strike. Mr..
Truesdale says that he is reliably in
formed that SO per cent of the en-
ployees were opposed to the strike, but
were forced to enter upon it by ma
iority vote of the mine workers in
other fields.
Follows Argument by Baer.
Mr. Truesdale follows closely the lines
of Mr. Baer's argument as to the dis
similarity between the work in the an
thracite mines and that in bituminOus
mines. He declares that, it is impossi-
bile to adopt a uniform rate to be paid
to the miners for unit of coal mined
at all mines. The declaration also is
made that the anthracite miners, as a
rule, do not work as many hours day
as do the bituminous miners. and the
opinion is advanced that if the wages
of the anthracite miners had been less
than that of other workingmen they
would have found employment else
where. which they did not do. On the
point Of general prosperity he says that
prior to the introduction of agitators
and mischief makers the anthracite
workers were on an average as prosper
Gus. comfortable and contented as any
body of workers in similar employment
in this country" The wages. it is add.
ed. are such that frugal employees have
ga we'd substantial amount every year.
Mr.. Truesdale resists the demand for
a reduction Of 20 per cent in hours OF
labor, saying that no branch of bust
ness employing thousands Of men can
hope to compete successfully in the
markets Of the world if its hours of la
boz are restricted. He declares that
there is no unjust determination in
the weighing Of coal. as il il measured

FOR THE CHILDREN
A. Cross as a Bear,

A. Cross as a Bear.
you're as cross as a bear" said
Bess to Billy.
Uncle Jim whistled. Bears aren't
Gross to members of their own family"
he said. "Now, knew a bear once
Bess and Billy both ran to him and
climbed up on his lap.
did you really ever know a bear?"
Eied Billy, with wide open eyes.
"Well not intimately" said Uncle
jim, "but l used to go hunting them
when was up in Canada, and one day
! was out with hunting party, and
We saw right straight in front of us
what do you SUPPOSED"
"A real bear!' gasped the children in
concert.
"Yes; real mother bear and her lit.
tie son. The dogs started after them
and the mother bear began to run, but
the little baby son couldn't run as fast
as she did, and the dogs were gaining
on him, so what do you suppose the
mother bear did? Leave her little son
behind! So, sir-ee-ee. She picked the
baby bear up on her stout nose and
tossed him way ahead; then she ran
fast and caught up to him and gave
him another boost that sent him flying
through the air. She kept this up for
mile and half. Then she was too tired
to 60 any farther, and the dogs sur
rounded her. Then she sat up OH her
Launches, took her baby in her hind
paws and fought the dogs off with her
fore paws. And how she did roar!''
Bess shuddered.
"You could hear her miles away. She
never forgot her baby; kept guarding
him all the time. When the mother
was shot, the baby cub jumped on her
dead body and tried to fight off the
dogs with his little baby paws. That's
the way the bears stand by each other
Sometimes think they love each other
better than brothers and sister. Hey,
Bess, what are you crying about?
guess l won't tell you any more bear
stories If that is the way it makes you
feel"
Billy" sobbed Bess, you're as good
as good as bear!'
Then they all laughed together and
forgot what they had been cross about

r. n. OLYPHANT,

rather than weighed, and he asserts
that the demand is "out of all reason,
and its effect, so far as this company l.
concerned. is demand for an addition.
al increase in the wages now paid min
ers of from 5 to 40 per cent" The
present method of measuring is de-
clared to be the result OF long usage
and fair to all concerned.
What Mr.. Olyphant Says.
President ELEPHANT of the Delaware
and Hudson company in his reply dc
clares that the wages paid by his com
pany are lust and adequate He also
says that Nhose of its employees who
perform contract or piece work as a
matter of their own volition work only
about six hours day and take numer
Gus holidays without the consent Or
approval Of this respondent. and their
earnings by hours of actual work are.
therefore much higher than those in
any similar employment"
Denial is made of all the allega tons
in connection with the demand for
shorter hours, and it is commended that
such reduction necessarily would i'll
crease the price of coal. While admit
ting that the mine owners sell their
coal by the ton, he says that the coal
thus sold is very different article
from that taken out of the mine; hence
he contends against the change from
the present system Of payment to that
Of paying by the ton.
President ELEPHANT also takes ex-
ception to the proposition to arbitrate
the question of the recognition of the
miners union. This position is placed
on the ground that the organization
seeks to control the entire fuel supply
of the country; that as the union is
unincorporated it is incapable of max
ing binding contract and that the as
ISOLATION has shown its ability to con-
troll it's own members. He says his
company has no desire to discriminate
against members of the union.
Mr.. Fowler's Views.
President T. P. Fowler speaks for
the Scranton Coal company and the
Elk Hill Coal and Iron company. He
says they own ten cOllieries and work
5000 men. He asserts that if the
average wage earned by the anthracite
piece workers is less than that paid
to workers in other employment it is
because they fix their own hours of
labor and the amount of their earnings
without any regard to the interests or
wishes Of their employers and in total
disregard of the earnings and welfare
Of every other class of employees
He declares that the men in the
mines do not work to exceed four or
five hours a day. All other charges
made by Mr. Mitchell are combated,
and on the question of miners unions
Mr.. Fowler says:
1--WE deny that agreements between
employers and employees through
workingmens organizations are bene-
fetal and successful in the bituminous
coal fields or elsewhere. and assert
that any such agreement as method
Of regulating production would be and
is injurious to the best interests of the
public
The statements made for the Lehigh
Valley and the Pennsylvania compa-
MES cover the same ground as the 9th.
er statements. Recorder Wright has
left for the anthracite regions, taking

What Is Cold Weather.

scribed In the London dispatches as
Intense cold" OF course. at this
time of year, even we should call 1t
pretty chilly weather that sent the
mercury, by day. down to the freezing
point. but certainly we shouldn't call
the cold INTENSE. As matter OF
fact. our Thermometers have been
down to 80 more than once this month,

have been duly grateful for remarkable
good luck, il not for special inter
nosi tion in our favor. Our Bri tish
cousins oweyer. have not attained
the knowledge that houses can be made
comfortable, no matter what the OUT
side tenn perature may be, and as a
result they suffer vastly more during
their, almost absurdly mild winters
than we do during cur vastly severe
ones. Their funny little CRATES burn
about as much coal rs our furnaces 90,
but all except minute fraction OF
the resulting heat goes up the Chin
ney, and such comfort as they get Out
of their expenditures for coal has to be
derived from the proud consciousness
of keeping up the ancient customs OF
their tribe. That there Is comfort In
that-for a Briton-cannot be denied.
