/. THE HE BA'..RKsDALE BILL
THE BARKSDALE BILL
Hon w, r. Duke to Fight the Coming
Amendment-The Hampton Mem
Der and MIR. Baker Discuss
Congressional Reapportionm't

There are two matters pending before
the House Of Delegates, s,nackIng Of pol
fttcs, which are going to cause heavy
fights when they como up for final ac-
ton. One is the pure elections bill of
Senator BarkHdale, and the other the
measure known as the Cumming con-
gressional reapportionment bill. In both
the hand of the able young member from
elizabeth City IS plainly evident. and
for his purpose In both he is expected
to make an earnest fight. He seeks to
engraft on, the Barksdale bill the word
"corruptly." which, according to the pa
iron, Will contravene the very spirit and
purpose Of the measure, namely, to purify
election methods In the State and to
prohibit the use of money at the polls.
Hon. w. r. Duke, Of Charlottesville,
VIII lead the fight In the House for the
bill as It came from the Senate and
Mr.. Cumming is expected to conduct he
ly."
MR. DUKE TO LEAD.
Around Mr.. Duke. according to the talk
that is heard, will be corraled a suf-
ficient number, Of members to carry. out
the original intentions that moved the
Halifax Senator in drawing the measure
and place the eternal condemnation of
the law making power of the State upon
corrupt practices at the polls, and insure
to the rich and poor alike a fair field
and no favor In the race Of life. What
ever shall be the result OF the effort
to pass the Barksdale BILL, it Is the opin.
ion of a large number of the members
of both branches that the time Is ripe
FOR pure. elections, and that they arc
demanded by the frank and fie' of the
party throughout the State.
Indeed, this feeling has evidently taken
possession Of the best men In all par
ties, and it Is the popular view that the
Barksdale bill would be gladly welcomed
by vast majority of the people re-
CARELESS of party lines.
FATE is UNCERTAIN.
AS to the superintendent bill. its fate
as 1t came from the committee Is by
no means certain. Caroline. Spotsylvania
and Fredericksburg do not desire to leave
their old mornings and long asspciation
with tho old First. neither Is there
thought, to be4pressing need to cut off
one end of the First In order to make
room for additional territory at the 9TH
er. Again, the Eighth District Is seek
Ing no change, but on the other hand, for
the most part, will resist all efforts
in this line. Colonel r. e. Lee, Jr. will
press for his bill to re-enact the present
apportionment scheme, and he and
Messrs. c. c. Baker and West are ex-
pected to bank forces and lead the OPP
position to the bill as reported from
the committee. It Is said that both
the bills referred to above are dashed
with fractional politics to more or less
extent, and results are anxiously awaited

OF ANARCHY
Union Denounced Before Coal
Strike Commission.
RIGHTS OF THE INDIVIDUAL
-------
Counsel for Non-unlon Miners Pre-
sented Their Side Of Controversy
and Demanded Consideration,
Claiming Right to Work.
RIGHTS OF THE INDIVIDUAL
(Dy Associated Press, !

= (Dy Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA, PA, Feb. 1O.-The
United Mine Workers Of America as an
organization was severely scored to-day
by counsel before the Anthracite Coal
Strike Commission. Tho non-union men
through their attorney, John IT. Lena
han, presented their side Of tho contro-
versy and demanded consideration at the
hands of the commission.
Mr.. Lenahan In his argument presented
three propositions. He submitted that
the commission must find the United
Mine Workers responsible for the vio-
lence and other unlawful acts which de-
prlved the non-union miners OF their
lawful right to work; that all authorities
agree that the law guarantees to every
man the right to work where, when and
for whom he pleases. and that nothing
could Justify finding by the commits
sion that non-union miners must deal
with their employers through the medium
of the union or be subject In the slight
est degree to the control or dictation Of
the union.
VIOLENCE AND INTIMIDATION.
James II. Torrey. counsel for the Del
aware and Hudson Company, claimed
that the question of recognition Of the
union was not an issue before the COM
mission, but he devoted considerable
time to the consideration of that demand.
He asserted that violence and intimi-
dalton were agencies selected for the
promotion Of the purposes Of the mine
workers.
Major Everett Warren, counsel for the
Hillside Coal and Iron Company, and
the Penn Coal Company, answered the
demands of the miners in DETAIL and de-
clared tho socialistic theories Of the
Union, or some of its leaders. to be re-
sponsible for unreasonable claims.
Regarding Mr.. MitchelTs claim that
wages in the anthracite mines were In
sufficient to maintain the American
standard of living, Major Warren said:
Fortunately for all Of US, that has
been interpreted by Mr.. Mitchell, and he
has given us the benefit of his opinion
that 5000 year would permit the mine
workers to live In a manner conformable
to American standards. The average
earnings OF the contract miner for the
year 1901 in the employ of the companies
I represent are approximately $780,"
Continuing, he said:
Socialism proposes to establish an
equality among unequal men by reducing
them to the dead level Of this peoples
majority. Instead of allowing every one
to determine for himself what he wants
to do. 1t Is to be done for him. That
is nothing but slavery. What is the
theory of the union If it is not this? l
do not dispute the right of men to organ
lie, and I hold no brief against organized
labor. The methods Of the United Mine
Workers, however, appear to be eXqui-
sitely adapted to degrade intelligent labor.
