pow1E REv1LEs GEN. BOOTH
Calls the Head of the salvation Army an
Incapable Old Man and His Army
Bureaucratic Machine.

Chicago, Nov. 24.-The Salvation
Army, labor unions, and the Greek
church We're the three targets at which
Dowie hurled his shafts at the Audi
forum. OF General Booth and his
army Dowie said:
amy army that holds an indepen-
dent position and is amenable neither
to secular nor ecclesiastical law is
danger to the commonwealth. The
original idea which formed the basis
of the Salvation Army when that great
and magnificent woman, Katherine
Booth, was living has been lost sight
Of and only crumbling skeleton has
remained.
"The army is merely military body,
headed nominally by weak and in
capable old man. but in reality clique
of heartless, unscrupulous, and schem-
ing martinets, who have made the
army bureaucratic machine, gov
erned by endless rules and regula-
TONS"

ty-Eight Hours.
Pittsburg, Nov. 24.-All previous rec
ords in the movement of cars were
broken by the railroads In this city
and the great freight blockade that has
existed here for weeks is practically
lifted. 1t is estimated that during the
forty-eight hours 800 trains, with
total of 1890 cars, were moved.
AS result of the efforts the tracks
are in less congested condition than
for months, while the interchanging
system has resumed its normal condi-
ton, which admits of the roads hand.
ling the cars with less confusion. 1t,
was busy day for the railroad people.
All of the employees of the roads were
pressed into service and given but
short rests.
The almost entire tie-up of the blast
furnaces and steel mills of the Shen-
ango and Mahoning valleys caused the
traffic managers to give preference, as
far as possible, to the movement of the
classes of freight upon which contin-
uance OF the operation of the indus
trial plants depends. The number of
accidents to trainmen during the day
was high. This is attributed to the
fact that large number Of new men
were engagedto fill out shunting crews.

Judge Gray remarked that the COM
mission was agreeable, and added a
general condemnation of the testimony
given so far, which, though interest

less, did not bear directly upon the
points at issue. He also expressed the
hope that an effort be made by the
parties to the dispute to come to an
agreement. promising them the aid Of

the companies by their counsel asked

1t is learned by the correspondent
of the Associated Press that all the

but that in all probability they will
consent and continue to work as a
unit as they did during the strike. The
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
iron company has not yet been. heard
from on the matter. Those which are
said to be in the agreement scheme
are the Delaware, Lackawanna and

1t is said It was all brought about
by. both sides seeing that the pro-
ceedings before the commission would
be interminable, and that in the in
termingling of the lawyers for both
sides the outside agreement PROPOSE
ton was broached and taken up. It
cannot be officially stated which par
ty made the proposition first. The
attorneys for both sides are averse to
talking, but those who We're inclined
to say something differ in their state
ments. An attorney for one of the

side, while one lawyer for the miners
said it was Spontaneous" PROPOSE
ton.
1t is generally believed, however,
that the operators We're the first to
make the proposition. Wayne Mac
Veagh is given credit for bringing
about the present situation. The COM
mlss1oners were informed of the new
turn of affairs, and acquiesced in the
proposed arrangement. The subject
did not directly come up in the pub
lie hearing yesterday, and the adjourn
ment proposition was made ostensibly
to permit both sides to complete their
work of preparing documentary evil
dence.
Clarence s. barrow, of Chicago, one
OF Mitchell's attorneys, suggested that
the miners be given little more time
to prepare their evidence. The min
ers wanted to present the due bills, or
wage statements, of thousands of min
ers, running back for several years,
and they found that the task of pre-
senting them in a proper manner was
stupendous one. They also wanted
to carefully examine the company
books and this, too, would take consid-
cradle time,

The Democrat says truthfully that
the Leader fsvors the freest publicity
In all matters pertaining to the public
expenditure. 1t has advocated that
policy time and again, and notwith-
standing the Democrats insinuation to
the contrary, Mr.. Carter has been in full
sympathy with the sentiments uttered
by tbs -pspeE He has asked other
members of the board to concur in q
policy directing the publication of item
lied reports of expenditures from the
road and bridge funds, and of other
matters of which the taxpayers are en-
titled to the fullest information But
Supervisor Durey has always maintained
that if the taxpayer wanted to know
how his money is being spent he can
hitch up and go to the court house, and
hunt through the archives until he finds
out. We do not know what Supervisor
Lindssy's views are, but at least he has
not urged the reform or it might have
been adopted.

will be able to carry out the prodigious
task which the Democrat outlines for
him, but just how 1t will be done unless

is to be hoped that the bridge book,

cised, will be we'll and faithfully kept,

board, and Manchester gets its new
bridge, the "people" are going to want
to know just what the thing cost in
