MAKES CLOSING ARGUMENT.
cite Strike COMMUNICATIVE.
row Begins Speech.

Philadelphia, Feb. 13.-President
George f. Baer, of the Reading COM
pany, made the closing argument for
the coal operators before the anthra-
cite strike commission Thursday, and
was followed by Mr.. barrow, who be-
gan the closing address for the min
ers. Mr.. barrow had not completed
his remarks when the commission adj
journed. Mr.. Baer, while conceding to
organized labor the same rights he
claimed for organized capital, opposed
recognition of the United Mine Work
ers' organization, which he character
lied as a monster monopoly. He con-
cluded his speech by presenting q
proposition to pay contract miners on
a sliding scale, wages to fall or rise
with the price of coal at New York,
but in no case to fall below the pres
ent basis. Mr.. barrow in his address
said that the union had come to stay,
regardless of the wishes of the oper-
ators. He also denounced the child
labor evil.
Philadelphia, Feb. lathe anthra-
cite coal strike commission, after be-
ing in session for more than three
months, closed its open hearings Fri
day with an all-day argument by Clar-
ence S. barrow in behalf of the miners.
The commission will meet in secret in
Washington next Thursday and begin
the consideration of its award. 1t is
expected by the end of this month the
arbitrators will be ready to make their
announcement.
The crowd that heard Mr.. barrow
speak Friday was fully as great as that
which listened to Mr. Baer and Mr..
barrow Thursday. He took up the
entire time of both sessions-five and
one-half hours. He touched upon al
most every phase of the strike, and
when he closed he was greeted with
long applause which Chairman Gray
did not suppress.

DELAYS TAKING OATH.
Secretary Cortelyou Not Quite Ready
to Qualify for His New Cab
met Position.

Washington. Feb. is. - Secretary
Cortelyou will not qualify as the head
of the new department of commerce
for day or two, possibly not until
Friday morning. He desires that two
or three intimate friends, who reside
in other cities, be present when he
takes the oath of office, and the cere-
mony will await their arrival in Wash
ington. One of them, Gen. Maxwell,
whom Mr.. Cortelyou served as conf
Dental clerk when he was fourth as
sistant postmaster general in Presi-
dent Cleveland's last administration,
arrived Tuesday.
The oath probably will be admins
tered to Secretary Cortelyou at the
white house by one of the justices of
the United States supreme court. Co.
incidentally with the qualifica ton of
Mr.. Cortelyou as cabinet officer, Will
liam Loeb, Jr., now assistant secretary
to the president, will take the oath as
secretary to the president. The prob
ability is that Mr.. Cortelyou will sit
in his first cabinet meeting on Friday
1t will not be announced for several
days what plans Secretary Cortelyou
has matured as to the new department..
Temporary quarters for the secretary,
commissioner of corporations and 9th
er officials who from time to time may
be designated, will be obtained, but
their location has not been made pub
lie. It is quite probable that the bu-
reaus alreadyin existence in other de-
partments will not be removed from
their present quarters for consider
able time,
