The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1903-02-09

Owing to the late arrival OF some OF
the commissioners, the session was open
ed after the usual time. Among those In
the court room was President Baer, or
the Reading company. With the excep-
ton OF the opening day in Washington.
last October II was his only visit TO the
commissions hearings so far. The only
other head of coal company who here
tofore attended the sessions was +. Il.
Thomas, formerly chairman Of tho Erie
company, but now president OF the Le-
high Valley railroad lie was present at
some of the hearings i'm Scranton.
AS soon as the hearing opened Mr.. Nc
arthy began his argument. He prefaced
his address with little personal ms
tory during which he said he went into
the mines at the age of eight years ana
was familiar with the industry and all
the labor troubles in the coal regions
since 1868.
Mr. Mccarthy spoke in part as follows:
THE age in which we live is the most
progressive the world has ever known.
Rapid development has been made in
every branch OF science and industry. Not
only along scientific ard industrial lines
has progress been made, but also along
sociological lines. The condition of man
kind is steadily improving because of
this development yet this development
causes the condition which now confronts
us. that of the equality OF man.
In all ages there have been times when
IL became necessary 10 redress certain
grievances and wrongs, and 1T always

proper instrument at the proper time TO

FIRST ORGANIZATION.
The first practical miners organiza-
tion was effected at Saint Clair. Pa. i'm
1865 and was known as the Miners Bene-
fetal association. II entered into an
agreement with the coal companies and
esta blished the three dollar basis. This
continued for some years and was broken
by Franklyn Il. Gowen. From this time
until 1889 wages were at a very low obb
until the advent OF the knights OF Labor
when they began to improve until tho
1857 strike which marked the end OF this
orEa niz1tion.
This wls followed by tho United Mine
Workers Of America. who in 1900 succeed
ed in organizing the entire region.
"The miner I'm his work requires an
enormous amount OF energy. The coal
must all be handled nj least twice. the
slate and impurities picked ont and all

day
A fair young SOUL with untitled eyes
for sight,
With ears for sound attuned, with
hands Alright
For action, all alert to work her way
The lips unchorused in the earths
deep speech
Like bo wthat never shot an arrow
out.
The virgin heart. athirst to be de-
vout,
TO any love which came beneath her
reach.
God put that soul upon the worlds

The jostling crowd soon soiled her
raiment fair:
The pipers, with rude jesting, bade her
play.
The unloved ones Of earth laughed
at her prayer:
Till God, down reaching, saw her
glance astray
And caught her back to rest within
His care.

Henry Meyer, tried to cross the

they could see the train coming they
thought to cross ahead of it. The

He was little old man with lief,

when the crowd of shoppers entered

strap-hangers found they had an ener
