BAER AND BARROW.
They Draw Large Crowd Before tn c
Strike Commission.

Philadelphia, Feb. 13.-Before an
audience that filled every inch Of
space in the United States circuit
court room, President George F. Baer
of the Reading company made the
closing argument for the coal opera
tors before the strike commission. and
Clarance S. Darrow. chief counsel for
the miners. began the summing up for
the strikers. The principal speakers
held the attention of the auditors
throughout the session.
Great interest was manifest in
Baer's appearance before the commits
sion to plead the cause of the mine
owners. Baer concluded his address
by making a proposition to pay the
contract miners on a sliding wage
scale. the wages to fall or rise with
the market price Of coal at New York,
but in no case to fall below the pres
ent basis for three years. The spokes-
man for the coal companies took up
two hours and twenty minutes in de-
livering his address. and when he sat
down he was congratulated by hun
dreds of persons.
Attorney Darrow spoke for the
miners at the afternoon session for
two hours and half The crowd
that heard him was equally as large
as that which listened to Baer, and he.
too, was surrounded by an admiring
throng when he temporarily suspended
his speech at adjournment time. His
remarks were directed principally at
the wage statements presented to the
commission. which, he said, could not
be relied upon.
