Great Crowd Attends the Blessing OF
the Corner Stone OF New Polish
Ranan Catholic Church.
POMP AND CEREMONY REIGN.
Hundreds of Uniformed Men Parade the
Streets Before the Big Event In Cath
Ollie Circles in Kenosha.

With pomp and ceremony never
equaled before in Kenosha the corner
stone of the st. Casimier's Polish Ro-
man Catholic church was laid Sunday
afternoon. A thousand Polish Cath
olics from all parts of the State were
present to witness the solemn cere-
monies which marked the blessing of
the stone and chorus of thousand
people joined in singing the hymn as
the stone was placed in position by
the Reverend Father Schinner, Vicar
General of the diocese
1t was the greatest day in the history
of the Polish Catholics in Kenosha.
Before the ceremonies occurred the
members of the church and their great
crowd OF visitors paraded the streets of
the city. More than thousand peo-
pie were in line and three bands of
music added to the interest. In the
advance guard were the knights of
St. Teotear of St. Josephat's church,
Milwaukee, the knights of King
David, OF Milwaukee, the Holy Name
Polish Society, of Racine, the ST.
Martins Society, of Milwaukee. Be-
hind these visiting societies marched
the Catholic societies of Kencsha in
Guiding some Ave hundred men.
In the parade we're the St. Casimier's
Society of the new church, the Heiss
Court c. o. F., st. Michael's Society
of st. George church, the Catholic
Knights of Wisconsin and several
other societies connected with the two
Catholic churches. After parading
the streets of the city the line of
march led to the foundation of the
church.
A platform had been built for the
speakers and fully three thousand peo-
pie gathered about it. The entire
foundation was deliberately decorated
with mass of flowers and flags. The
ceremony attending the blessing of
the stone was of very solemn nature.
AS soon as the marching men arrived
at the site of the church Father B.
Elskamp, of st. George church, took
charge of the service and made few
remarks introducing Father Schinner
and the other priests from the differ
ent cities who were scheduled to take
part in the laying of the stone.
After the sermon had been delivered
by Father Michael Domachowski, pas
tor of St. Stani1us church, Milwaukee,
General Vicar Schinner read a short
history of the church and of the Polish
Catholic church in the diocese, after
which, with the assistance of the other
visiting priests the corner stone was
pushed into place by Owen O'Malley
and Casper Hahn. The service was
then closed with a benediction from
the Vicar General.
Three special cars were chartered to
bring the Milwaukee societies to Ke-
nosha and more than FIVE hundred
Milwaukee Poles took part in the cell
ebration. The new church will be
completed at once and it is expected
that it will be ready for dedication by
the middle of next March. It will be
the second finest Polish church in the
State and it will cost ten thousand
dollars.

Baer then tells Of the strike ordered
May ~; Of the order of May Fl to the
employees who kept the water out of
the mines; declares that "By threats
and violence they tried to prevent 9TH
er men from taking the places of the
f1remen, pumpmen and engineers
knowing well the great damage that
would ensue from stopping Of the
pumps, and that "all manner of force
and violencewas used to prevent pump
ing OF the mines to save them from
destruction, and to prevent non-union
men from working"
The reply then calls attention to the
charter of the commission-the con-
ditions named in the proposition of
the coal company presidents and says
the commission is limited to those con-
ditions and must confne it's investiga-
lions to matters affecting the anthra-
cite employees, excluding the U. M W.
from any part or recognition" in the
proceedings Or decision.
Baer says he is willing to make
trade agreements with an organiza-
ton Limited to workers in anthracite
mines, which shall obey the laws Of
the land, respect the right of every
man to work, whether he belongs to a
union or not, and shall honestly CO.
operate with the employers in securing
good work, efficiency, fair production
and necessary discipline"
He closes with the declaration that
a union card will not obtain or prevent
employment in the Reading mines; that
the company will employ any person
it sees fit, and will not permit any
labor organization to limit the right
of employment to the members of it's
organization.

dEWFOUNDLAND RECIPROCITY
Our Proposed Treaty with the Island
Shuts Out Preference for Great
ang9 Britain.

Washington, Nov. 12.-An important
feature of the reciprocity treaty just
negotiated with Newfoundland is Il
safeguard against the .differential in
favor Of goods entering Newfoundland
from England or any Of the British
colonies. This differential in the case
Of the Dominion amounts to 33 per
cent, which is a very heavy handicap
upon imports from the United States.
It is true that the differential has
not yet been imposed by Newfoundland
upon our goods, but it is learned that ii
was the purpose to do so. The at
titude Of the New 7Egland senators to-
ward the new treaty is problematical.

READINGS REJOINDER
What President Baer RepIiesTto
the Statemer J, of the
United Mine Workers.
MOST OF THEM ARE OoNTRADIOTED
u M. w. Called Disturber Only, in
the Region of the Anthra-
~ cite Mines.

Washington, Nov. r.. President
Baer, Of the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron company, has filed with
the anthracite coal strike commission
the reply Of that company to the de-
mands made by John Mitchell, presi-
dent of the U. M. W., concerning the
points involved in the anthracite coal
strike. The statement starts out by
saying that the p. and r. company
owns thirty-Seven colleries and at the
time the strike began had 26,S29 en-
ployes at work. 1t then denies the
justice of Mitchell's first demand for
40 per cent increase in the wages of
contract and piece work men, and de-
clares that with due allowances for
differences in conditions the present
anthracite wage scale is not lower
than that paid bituminous miners.
As to Average Annual Earnings.
In like manner the paper denies that
the anthracite wage scale is lower than
that paid in other occupations in the
same locality, etc.; that the average
annual earnings are less, etc., in the
anthracite mines, and generally all
the assertions made in Mitchell's state
ment heretofore printed. With refer
ence to average mine earnings the COM
panys statement says: 'This company
is not Informed as to the average an
nual earnings In the bituminous, coal
fields, but it AYERS that nearly all of it's
former employees who during the past
five months worked in the bituminous
mines have returned to the anthracite
regions, preferring to work in the an
thracite mines. And it further AYERS
that the annual earnings Of the an
thracfte mine workers is largely re.
duced by their refusal to work as
many days as 1t Is customary to work
in other occupations" .
Prosperity of the Miners.
Baer says further along: This com.
pany AYERS that it is true that 1.-THE an
thracite coal regions (almosto entirely
dependent on the anthracite mining in.
dustry) are among the most prosperous
in the United States; that employees
OF temperate and economical habits
have saved money and invested their
savings in houses, building associa.
lions and other property, and that de-
posits in savings, state and national
banks aggregating millions of dollars
have been made by such employees;
that the standard of living is equal to
that of the average American work.
men; that the towns and cities are bet.
ter than any mining towns in the BIZ
luminous coal fields Of the United
States"

AGAINST THE E1GHT-HoUR DEMAND
Certified Men Do Not as General Thing
Work Eight Hours Day Now.

Work Eight Hours Day Now.
In reply to the demand for an eight
hour day Baer says it is neither just
nor equitable. He says: ''The certi-
fed miners, under present conditions,
seldom work eight hours a day. The
greater cost in the production and
preparation OF anthracite coal for mar
ket.is not the cutting Of the coal Many
employees are paid by the month, the
pumping continues day and night, the
machinery is expensive, and the cost
of coal is largely conditioned on the
collieries running full time. The out
put Is entirely dependent on the guam
tity of coal certified miner is willing
to cut daily, and because of this it is
seldom practicable to work the full
breaker time
I'm general. we deny, in so far
as they relate to anthracite mining,
that the ten-hour day is detrimental
to the health, life, safety and well be-
Ing Of the mine workers; that shorter
hours improve the physical, mental and

STATEMENT AS TO CHILD LABOR
Education Is Compulsory, Baer Says, anC
Costs Lot of Cash.

Education Is Compulsory, Baer Says, and
Costs Lot of Cash.
After denying that the increased cost
Of living is an element of Importance
in the dispute the statement SAYS:
''This company further denies that the
children of the anthracite mine work
ers are prematurely forced into the
breakers and mills instead of being
supported and educated upon the earn
ings of their parents 1t
ayers that the state of Pennsylvania
makes large annual appropriations to
schools, and that the school districts
levy local taxes for school purposes:
that text books are supplied from pub
lie funds, and that the laws provide
for compulsory attendance at public
schools.
In the county of Schuylkill this
company paid for school taxes in the
year Of 1901, $4,000. The local school
boards are elected by the qualified vot-
ers of the townships, boroughs and
cities. The means of education pro-
vided by the state through it's system
OF free schools and compulsory at
tendance are not fully utilized because
of the failure of the local school boards
to enforce compulsory attendance, but
the wages paid are ample to insure a
good common school education for all
children in the coal regions desiring to
attend school. No boys are employed
in and about the mines and breakers
in violation Of the statutes fixing the
ages of employment.
s'This company AYERS that there is
not anywhere else in the world a min
ing region where the workmen have so
many comforts, facilities for education
general advantages and such profitable
employment"
