HAVE NEGROES
ANY RIGHTS?

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE United
States supreme court has granted
motion for an early hearing In the case
Of Jackson w Giles, versus the board
of registration Of Montgomery, Ala,
involving the question whether the
suffrage provisions Of the new constitu-
ton for the state Of Alabama are re-
pugnant to the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments to the Constitution OF the
United States. Giles, who Is a
negro, alleges that the board
refused to register him and
many thousand others OF hi $ race
on account Of their color while certih-
Gates were issued to all white men who
made application. This, he says, was
done to prevent the members Of his
race exercising the right OF franchise In
the recent election. The question OF
Jurisdiction is the principal point In
voved In the case and there will be no
oral argument, the case being present
cd on printed briefs.

ID for the purpose OF dis
cusslng current topics. The subject to-
night was Industrial Battles and the
Public President Eliot had not prom
Used 10 speak. but he was brought TO
his feet by discussion Of the subject by
previous speakers He said present con-
ditions indicated that many years must
pass before the labor question is satis-
factorily solved Both sides must make
concessions and adopt some plan. The
principal objection TO the labor unions
from the educators point Of view, he
said, was their objection to young men
becoming competent mechanics, and
that they do prevent this Is evident
from the fact that all unions endeavor
TO limit the number OF apprentices en-
ployed In any industry. The right to la
Dor is considered the most sacred right
OF the American citizen.
President Eliot's objection 10 the Ia
Dor union was, he said. that the OBJ
ject OF the union seemed 10 be work as
few hours as possible, produce as little
as possible during that time, and 10 re-
celve as much money as possible for
the service given. This attitude was in
effect nothing more than constant
fight against the development OF man
ly instincts. He said he had profound
contempt for any man who did not
choose TO labor every day just as long
as his strength would permit.

4,i55 or rs per cent are bonded under
this form. A majority Of the bank.
ers, and the banking departments OF
the different states, rs well as many
OF the bank examiners. realize the me-
cesslty, and favor the use OF uniform
bond, So far there has not been
failure TO pay one OF them. Many cases
had been reported in which the bonding
companies were refusing payment and
reports show that fully AZ per cent Of
the losses are being contested. The
bankers OF America, the committee
said, could bond and pension their
employees at no greater expense than is
now being paid for bonds, many Of
which are worthless.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE reply Of
President Baer, Of the Reading Coal
company, to the charges Of President
Mitchell Of the United Mine Workers,
which has been presented to the an
thracite coal strike commissioners was
today given to the public Mr.. Baer
makes no reference to Mr., Mitchell as
the president of the miners organiza-
ton, but refers to him simply as an
individual. Taking up the speclhca-
tions in Mr.. Mltchell's charges seratim,
Mr.. Baer first admits that his company
owns 81 collleries. and that before the
strike employed 26,s29 people. Follow
ing is a brief summary of the response
to Mr.. Mltchell's other specifications;
second-The demand for 20 per cent
increase in wages on piecework Is de-
nounced as arbitrary, unreasonable
and unjust"
The company contends that after
making all necessary allowance for diff
ferent conditions the rate of wages paid
for mining of anthracite coal Is as
high as that paid In the bitumlnous
coal fields.
Third-The company denies that the
present rate of wages is lower than Is
paid In other occupations In the same
locality and controlled by like condi-
tons
Fourth and Fifth--Mr. Baer denies
that the earnings Of the anthacite
workers are less than average earnings
for other occupations requiring skill
and training and also the charge that
the earnings are insufficient because OF
the dangerous character of the work in
the anthracite mines.
