occasionally add an inmate to this
spot where man finds his equal, and
had not some relative or friend spliced
out the rusting and parted strands,
the range cattle would long since have
trampled away all evidence that Harry
Woods had ceased to breath in one of
the now fast crumbling adobe buildings
of Buenos Ayres and had been given
his allotment of six feet of mother
earth in Southern Arizona
AS L stood near this neglected "city
of the dead" L could recall the days
when Harry Woods walked the streets
of Nogales, and L wondered if the
friends who were so ready to grasp his
hand in those days, every gave "a
thought as to what had become of him.
How many of the %old timers" know
the circumstance, time or place in
which Harry Woods received the
Summons to join the innumerable
caravan that moves to the pale realms
of shade, when each shall take his
chamber in the silent halls of death"
How many of his fellow employees in
the Custom service in Arizona will
feel, when seeing this article that
there is more sarcasm than poetry in
his neglected and forgotten
grave to the "halls of death"
The above is but an illustration of
the short time in which we retain our
place in the memory of our friends
after we pass from that "shore touched
by that mysterious sea, which never
set has borne on any wave the image
Of a homeward sail"

a right to organize, and he had no objec-
tlon to their being sfhliated with other

He believed the employees OF the Della

Judge Gray interrupted to suggest that
an organization like the miners union
should be composed OF mature minds.
In reply to Mr.. Clark witness said he
personally thought the men might bring in
third party to arbitrate in case the en-
ployes and the company failed to agree on
some disputed points. If the company
case the men would have an undoubted
right to do the same.
There were more cases Of characterization
among the men, he added, more than there
were prior to the strike Of 1900. The mini
mum wage Of inside laborers, who required
no skill, was s1.77 day and St3S day for
outside laboTers.
Owing to the union restricting the num-
ber of cars a miner could load they were
earning no more money than they did be-
fore the 10 per cent increase two years
ago.
In this connection Mr.. Darrow quoted
from Mr.. Truesdale's annual report of 1901,
in which he said 1412, 900, or 30 per cent
more, was paid to the men in 1901 than in

WOULD BAR ALL OUTSIDERS
Mine superintendent Gives Strike
Commission His Views on
Unions.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 19.-The eXami-
nation OF Colonel d. A. Phillips of scran-
ton, general superintendent OF the mining
department OF the Delaware. Lackawanna
& Western railroad, took up the greater
part Of today's session of the strike COM
mission.
Superintendent Phillips told of the con
dition in and about the collieries owned by
the Lackawanna company. Like some of
the other superntendents he believed the
men had a right to organize if they wanted
to, but no person who was not employed by
the company had a right to come in and tell
the men what they should do
The growing want OF interest in the pro-
ceediugs of the commission was strikingly
illustrated today.
There were eighteen spectators present,
more than half OF when were Witnesses
OF the twenty-five lawyers representing the
coal company, only fve were in attendance
and only one of the nine attorneys for the
miners was on hand when the proceedings
began.
Colonel r. A. Phillips, general superin-
tendent OF the department Of mining of The
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, who was
on the witness stand Saturday, was the first
witness called today. He said that the
company never heard any complaints. against
paying the men by the car instead Of by
| weight until the advent of the United Mine
Workers 1t made no difference whether
the miners were paid by the car or by
weight so long as the rate paid was fair.
The company never had any trouble re-
| RaTding wages until the union came into
| the field. The contract miners would cut
| only FIVE or six cars instead of the six OF
seven which could be relied upon before
the strike OF 1900. In consequence. the
| company had to employ 10 per cent more
men than It did two years ago TO get out
| the same amount Of coal.
The men at the eompany's mines had a
benehcient accident society. After the 1906
strike the society was dissolved and imme-
| diateIy Teorganized. This was done, he
said, in order to keep out the nonunion
| men who we're "blackballed"
From 1877 TO 1900 the relations between
the men and the company we're pleasant
and during that period there were nc
strikes. Wages. he said, we're voluntarily
increased IS per cent. Including the in

Legislative Gossip.
The fuslonist members, Of whom there
are but twenty four in the house and four
in the senate, have thus far deported them
selves certainly as a quiet lot Not one
has 'peeped' in the house up to the pres
ent. The ranks OF the minority, however,
contain some men whose voices doubtless
will be heard on many occasions before the
session is over. Loomis of Dodge is the
recognized minority leader, IN the house
and a man WHO holds-a place among the
brainy members. .4-
"Chauncey" Warner Of Lancaster will
have to abdicate from the prominence he
has attained as the youngest member Of
the house" That distinction is claimed
and possessed by Perry of Furnas, whose
age is 26, while Warner has rounded his
twenty seventh mile post Perry doesn't

then Warner has never had a Fpeakership
race to mar the b1oomso his youth.

The vexatious problem Of who is the
handsomest man in the house is causing
stir. The honor Is conceded to lie be-
tween Spurlock of Cass and Douglas OF
Rock. Both gentlemen are handsome and
they are willing to 'let 1t go at that" but
some persistent friends want the thing
settled. 1t happens, however, that good
looks is said to be not the crowning virtue
Of either man. Both give promise of be-
