VIEW OF A MANUFACTURER.
g. 81. Barbour Says Operators Would
Stand 10 Per Cent Raise.

DETROIT, October 15.-George H Bar
bour. one of the members of the committee
from the National Manufacturers Associa-
zion which held the conference at Buffalo
last week with President Mitchell of the
United Mine Workers, said today:
The manufacturers committee proposed
to President Mitchell at Buffalo that If he
would forego the point Of recognition of the
union the miners would be entitled to a 10
per cent Increase Of wages, based on earn
ings at the time of the strike. all other diff
cuIties to be settled by the individual col
lie cries
Mr. Mitchell was not inclined to give IN
MS point OF union recognition, but finally
agreed that he would present the question
u the miners district presidents
If Mr.. Mitchell favors the compromise
we are certain that it will be accepted At
that time the manufacturers had not seen
the operators, but as a business proposition
We are certain that We can secure the 10
per cent increase of wages for the reason
that the public would be only too glad to
stand an increase of 81 a ton in the price
OF hdrd coal Tor settlement of strike DIFF
ncultles and the presidents can really afford
TO give the miners a 10 per cent increase
while pocketing the extra dollar in the
price themselves
Mr.. Barbour says that he would advise
the miners to accept the arbitration propo-
sition MADE by the operators. If this is not
done, however Mr.. Barbour believes that
the operators VIII accept the compromise
solution OF the str Ike suggested to PresI-
dent Mitchell by the manufa cturers He
Is also of the opinion that the miners win
Accept this.

PARTICIPATION IN POLITICS.
The Course Laid Down by the Post
Office Department,

A number of members Of Congress called
upon Acting Postmaster General Wynne to-
day to ascertain the status of employees in
the rural free delivery as to participation
in politics and political campaigns.
One member wanted to know If an en-
ploye in the rural free delivery service
could instruct a voter in quest Of informa-
ton in states where the Australian ballot
Is in vogue. This member was informed
that If the employee were to instruct i'm
partially voter who asked for informa-
ton it would not be a violation Of the es-
tabliShed rule of the department, but that
any attempt to influence a voter under such
conditions would be clearly contrary to the
order promulgated by Postmaster General
Payne on October l and sent to every post
master in the United States. 5.''
Strange as it may seem, while postmas-
ters throughout the country are familiar
with the provisions of this order, members
of Congress to a great degree appear to be
unfamiliar. To those who called for infor-
nation today Acting Postmaster General
Wynne gave the assurance that the depart
ment would abide closely by the circular Of
the civil service commission sounding a
partisan activity of officehoIders in the
classified service, the order of which has
the Endorsement of the President of the
United States.
In each instance General Wynne pointed
to a provision in the circular order sent out
by Postmaster General Payne, which reads:
A person in the classified service has an
entire right to vote as he pleases and to ex-
press privately his opinions on all political
subjects, but he should take no active part
In political management or in political cam
paigns."

that the auditor be instructed to pay the
money for the land to court and that the
District proceed to take possession. Other

THE SUPREME COURT.
Constitutionality of Bland-Allison Act
Under Consideration.


An important case which raises the ques-
ton of the constitutionality Of the legal
tender provisions of the Bland-Auson act
of 1878 was submitted without argument
in the United States Supreme Court yes
terday The case originated in Michigan in
1897, and the parties to the litigation are
Fred A. Baker and Stephen Baldwin. Bald
win was indebted to Baker to the extent of
1864. and in payment rendered 1854 silver
dollars. Baker refused to accept the silver,
alleging that 1t was not legal money. Bald
win brought suit In the state courts of
Michigan to compel acceptance, and those
courts sustained his contention. Baker
brought the case to the Supreme Court on
a writ of error, and the court will now
take the case up for final consideration.
The Supreme Court has reassigned the
case of Simeon /. Grin for hearing on the
9th instant. Grin is a Russian who was
arrested in San Francisco on the charge of
sought to resist extradition by invoking
habeas corpus proceedings, and he brings
the case here on appeal from decis on
from the circuit court Of the United States
for the district Of California denying his
petition for a writ.
The first case argued in the Supreme
Court In the present term was that Of
Homer Bird. accused of murder in Alaska,
which was heard today. The case Is now
1t was originally tried in the district court
of Alaska, where Bird was convicted.
When the case came to the Supreme Court
the decision was reversed and a new trial
ordered. The retrial resulted against Bird
and an appeal has again beer taken.

FIRE DEPARTMENT TESTS
Trial Given Of the New Plugs and
Also of MOBILES.

Several interesting tests were made by
the officials of the fire ~ department this
afternoon at o'clock at 18th and streets
northwest. The new water plugs which
are being placed in position down town in
the territory covered by the three new fire
engines now being made for the District
were tried for the first time.
They have four-inch openings instead Of
the Observation-Disclosures openings of the
small plugs. No. IA engine was attached to
one of the plugs and a stream of water was
sent through the water tower. which has
just been fitted with Hart solidifying
nozzle. Tests were made with the old and
new MOBILES.
Another test was that made with what
Is known as the Judge nozzle, which is
used for flooding building or any rooms
in building.
The nozzle is an automatic affair and Is
intended to remain attached to stand pipes.
When the water is turned ON the nozzle
moves about and covers every part of the
room. These nozzles are not intended for
fire department uses, but are made as
part Of the fire apparatus placed in modern
buildings. These are said to be invaluable
In the case of a basement fire. The tests
were witnessed by Chief Engineer Dutton
Of the fire department.; the building in
spector Mr.. Ashford: the superintendent
Of the water department, w. A. Mcfarland,
and others.

TO PREVENT FOREST FIRES.
Adoption Of Precautionary Measures
=, Advocated. 49,,

The adoption of radical precautionary
measures for protection from forest fires Is
advocated in the annual report Of the acting
superintendent Of the Yosemite National
Park, which has been received at the In
terror Department.
The report recommends that for this pur-
pose shat stricter regulations be issued by
the department regarding campers visiting
In the park, and that fallen and decayed
trees and pine needles and other infiamma-
BILE material in the forests be burned annu-
ally and Systematically. 1t is also urged
that stringent measures be adopted to pre-
vent the constant trespa ssing of sheep herd
ers with their destructive bands of sheep
on the reservation, no adequate punish
ment is now provided for such acts 1t is
proposed to ask Congress to make trespass-
ing in the park misdemeanor punisha BILE
by fine or Imprisonment. Other recommen-
dations in the report are the enactment of
a law extinguishing titles to lands within
the park limits. to aid in keeping stock off
the grazing lands and to protect the fish
in the lakes and streams and the govern
ment ownership of all the roads built to
accommodate the general public visiting the
park.

ton OF relief of the deserving or undeserv-

Our city Is deservedly proud OF It's Clti-
zens Relief Association, and we must re-
in1orce their noble efforts by all means IN
our power, and, il need be, by every posi-
Die effort OF self-sacrilce. This Is q time
when all our people are drawn together IN
close contact by It's exercise Of divine char
ity, and all the rich and those in moderate
circumstances must unite in averting
widespread and even national calamity.
our heroic and noble President has set
us an example by the exercise of the legit:-
mate influence of his high office and the
great power of his personal character. I
therefore urge my own friends in the Dis
trict to contribute their mites promptly.
and not anonymously, but under their
names, thus adding their influence to the
earnest and general support of the Citizens
Relief Association, not fearing ungenerous
criticism because their contributions, how
ever small, may in some cases, perhaps, re-
veal their own narrow circumstances.
Il inclose my mite-five dollars.

the present democratic representative.
There Is also a fighting chance of carrying

candidate has the same name. Hopkins is
the democratic candidate this year. and I
believe that he will be defeated"
Mr.. Langley was to make some spe eches
N Kentucky during the campaign, but has
found his work in the census bureau so
arduous as Tot to permit of his leaving

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NE WORK. October 15.-Opening prices
this morning were irregular and inclined to
yield to the mixed selling which followed
the lower level reported from London.
Coal strike news was somewhat compli-
Gated. and the street feared that some delay
might be encountered in ordering the miners
back to work. The notifications insisted
upon by the miners were not regarded as
material, however, and the general view
was favorable to a settlement of the diff

The short interest was forced to cover on
the prospect for early peace, and substan-
tial gains were recorded during the after

was easier. offerings at 10 per cent early in
the day attracting no demand. Vhe bulk Of
the business being done from to per
cent The banks have gained from the
subtreasury and rumors Of bond pur-
relief.
The treasury was offered a block Of gov
eminent bonds. and some consideration was
given the Offering by the Washington au-
thOrities. but the selling price was too high
to warrant purchases. The fact that the
bonds have been offered and that the treas
ury is willing to consider buying at some
price was construed to be a favorable incl
dent Of the day. The market shows very
clearly that there is little snap to 1t once
the demand from the short account is sup
piled. Stocks were in good supply on the
rallies and the whole market was extreme
ly sensitive to routine news.
The announcement that the Washington
conference had adjourned and that no state
ment would be issued by the White House
authorities caused sharp setback. The
statement is to come from Mr.. Mitchell and
Is thought to foreshadow some disapproval
OF the peace proposals. On the other hand,
public opinion will shift to the operators IL
a mere matter of detail is to delay settle
ment and Wall street understands that
questions Of pride. and not principle are
involved in the delay.
The entire list sold of rather easily but
so strong Is the belief In a successful issue
that there was good mixed demand at
the low points.
A sudden buying movement in Chicago
and Great Western was checked abruptly
by the news from Washington, but a con-
siderable block of stock had changed hands

The Industrial list was supported, and a
fair demand for Colorado Fuel and Tennes-
Coal and Iron was reported Rumors
Of new deals In the coal stocks once the
strike Is settled. were heard but at the
banks the good news was not negotiable
There need be no haste in the effort to par
ticipate in these proposed plans since 1t is
clear that there is not money enough avail
able to launch them properly.
