ARGUMENTS BEGUN.
Counsel For Miners Present
 Case to Strike Court.
NO FAyoRS; ONLY JUSTICE ASKED
NFr. Liayd Says Last SHmner's Strug- gle Was the Waterloo of Cap-
 1taiistic Abs0iutiSma In
 This Country.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 10.-Argu-
 ments for and against the demands of
 the union anthracite mine workers,
 which will continue before the coal strike commission for the next six days, were begun when the miners
 through Daniel J. Mccarthy of Hazle-
 ton made the opening argument. MT.
 Mccarthy was followed by former l Congressman Brumm of Minersville,
 who made a general argument, and Henry Demarest Lloyd of Chicago, who confined his efforts to the question of l recognition of the union and yearly | trade agreements.
 Tn the course of his address MT. Lloyd said:
 "The strike of last summer was the
 Waterloo of capitalistic absolutism in this country. Organized labor never did l civilization greater service than when it whipped this master to finish and settled, let it be hoped for the third and last time in America, that the only | business in which there is one master 1 is slavery, and that in free business there are as many masters as there are l parties. These miners offer, they have actually begged, to be allowed to be- l come guarantors of each other in dis l cipline, production, contract.
 we are not asking for favors, but l for justice. We acknowledge the SUI perb sense of justice in the American people which gave us this arbitration, this extraordinary effort of industrial l justice. We acknowledge it, but we are not grateful for it. We have won the right to this justice, this, representation l in our bargains, by sacrifice and a 1 struggle which Whitened the faces of a whole people and shortened thousands of lives. But we are grateful that we 1 live in an age where justice is not de- nied to those strong enough to get it. It is something that our civilization has advanced so far as tEat.'' During MT. Lloyd's argument Chair man Gray interrupted him with this question. What have you to say re- garding the nonunion men who prefer to continue at work through the strike in the exercise of the right that they suppose they have, those who are not strike breakers and do not loaf be- tween times?'
 'Of course in doing that" MT. Lloyd replied, they are strictly within their legal rights, but to me they seem to violate a moral duty of the highest sanctity, which is that man must do what he can to help along necessary struggle for the elevation of his own class and of society at large"
 Are such men protected by the un- ion?'
 'The union certainly withdraws ns legal protection from thems' said MT. Lloyd. "They are not protected by the union from being visited with that obloguY~.Which properly falls upon 8

FIGHT NEAR MANILA
Constabulary Defeats Band of Two Hundred Insurgents.
INSPECTOR HARRIS WAS KILLED.

General Miguel's Rebel Force Se- vereIy Punished Headquarters Burned and Records of the Ir- reconcilable Leader Taken. | MANILA, Feb. 1O--A force of 100 I constabulary under Inspector Keithly has defeated body of 200 insurgents 1 near Mariquina, small town seven miles from Manila city, after severe engagement in which Inspector Harris and one man of the constabulary were killed and two other men of the con- stabulary wounded. The enemy left i fifteen dead and three wounded. In- 1 spector Harris home was at Atlanta, ] Ga.
 The body of insurgents formed the main force of the irreconciIable General | San Miguel. The constabulary were l divided into three detachments, which were scouting in the Mariquina valley. The detachment commanded by h. spector Harris came uHon the enemy. who were in strongly intrenched pc sition. Inspector Harris fell at the first
 volley, being hit five times. The de- l tachment of constabulary, although outnumbered, held it's position until In- spector Keithly, with the main force, arrived, when the enemy were put to route. Their headquarters were cap tured and burned, and the constabu- lary seized the records of General San
 Miguel, who claims that he succeeded
 to the command of the insurrectionary forces when the other generals surren- dered. He has only handful of men
 under him, and his operations have been of no consequence.
 The wounds of the Americans are all severe
 The Philippine commission has passed an act governing the constabulary. It creates summary court for the trial of light offenses, gives the civil courts
 Jurisdiction over serious offenses, for. bids the constabulary to administer the
