STATEMENT RESENTED.
Oscar Straus Says President Baer

Oscar Straus Says President Baer'S
 Statement Was Wide of Facts.
 New York, Feb 14.-New Workers econnected with the National Civic Fed eration resent the statements made be- fore the strike commission in Philadel- phia by President Baer of the Reading Go that the federation never was con- vened to hear tho report of the coal operators on the result of a conference with the striking miners, and that the federation leaders had deserted the cause they had espoused. Oscar s. Straus, who is a member of the execu- tive council of the federation, said Mir Baer's statement was wide of the facts.
 The Civic Federation did everything in it's power to bring about an adjust meht of the difficulty said MT Straus. 'and after repeated efforts succeeded in having the operators confer with the miners. Had MT Baer been willing to make the concessions he now offers, at the time of his coming before the fed eration, feel sure there would have been no coal strike''
 sFThe federation is actuated by the | highest motives and always aims at l fair play,' said Henry White. general l secretary of the United Garment Work CTS of America, land the fact that MT | Baer feared it's good offices shows that he was unwilling to meet the strike 1 issue squarely The many achieve ments of the federation in settling | strikes. preventing strikes and adjust l ing difficulties are a refutation of Mir Baer's charges"

Letter Carriers Were Londed Down
 With Them To-Day.
 The employees of the postoffice had all the business they could swing into to-day. Valentines poured in liponE them by the thousand, some of them being so large that the carriers scarce ly could handle anything else. The number received was considerahly greater than ever before, but for some reason or other there was noticeable falling off in the cheap kind. No matter what some people may think about Waterbury, it looks as if this was an evidence of a tendency in the direction of better taste in the valens tine business, and if the boys and girls are improving there is reason to hope for better things in the near fus ture. Of course a few folks have not yet thrown off the old way of doing things and kept up their reputation for remembering their neighbors at this season by mailing them 'daubs''s on which was written language thab no lady would use. It may be a source of much disappointment to the senders of these weapons" to know that they never will be seen by those whom they were intended to annoy. They were held Up on account of in sufficient postage and as those who mailed them will not be likely to call for them the chances are that most of them will find q place in the waste baskets about the office. It was ~ great day with the carriers. They looked like belated Santa Clauses with their big bundles, and while the addi- tional parcels must have put them to a lot. of inconvenience they didn't seem to mind it and acted as if they were willing to bear it all for the sake of making others happy.
