Attorney Darrow Pleads Case
of the Miners Before the
Strike Commission.
OPERATORS ARE CRITICIZED
The Proposition Made by Baer Alleged
to Provide for a Large Increase for
the Operators and Slight Advance
for the Mners-Arbitration Only Just
Method.

| Philadelphia, Feb. ia crowd al
most as large as that which heard Pres
ident Baer and c. S. Darrow yesterday,
was present today when the chief coun-
/ sci for the miners resumed the closing
argument before the coal strike COM
cause of the strike. The responsibility
| for the coal famine, he said, rested with
| those who were responsible for the
strike. He believed the strike was due
| to the blind. autocratic, stupid spirit of
the operators"
| They believed the issue was, who
t men say neither should be master of the
| other.
| Mr.. Darrow took up Baer's sliding
scale proposition, made yesterday.
| Baer had said he made a nice, fair
proposition. He proposed to show 1t
was not. He said the / per cent raise
on cents suggested by Baer would
give the operators 31s per cent increase
in profits and the miners, only 11a on a
$3.50 basis. Darrow's remarks on the
proposition plainly Indicated the miners
fatty reject the proposition.
Reverting to the strike. Darrow
quoted from the replies of the operators
last spring, when they refused to treat
with the organization. He said the
labor leaders hesitate to call a strike,
because they know 1t means distress
and suffering. He wanted the Cap
tains of industry" to know that it was
better for men to treat with them than
have the men so to the petty feudal
they can't" who are under them in
authority for the purpose of getting this
treatment. 1t would be better for in
dustry and the country TO have the
heads of the coal companies and repre-
sentatives of the men face to face.
rather than have individual workers go
what the miner says, he throws the lat
ter out.
Arbitration. Darrow said is the only
means by which industrial peace can
be maintained Every appeal and every
prayer made. he said. was contempt-
uously rejected by the operators no
than the organization of the miners
upon the people OF the country. We
will not treat with you, but will post
notices on our works, which shall be
your contract for the coming year"
The operator said they forced the
strike that they might demonstrate to
the men and to the generations to
come that the owners of capital are
masters of the worknen. They tried
to crush the union. which was the first
ray OF hope and inspiration that has
entered their dark lives. But ut this
late day, after a months strife on the
part of the men to meet their masters,
the operators come in with proposi-
ton. Darrow predicted the time will
come when the operators combination
will be destroyed by the people who
will take possession of the riches under
ground and relieve themselves of the
tyranny of those men. So long as the
laws of the country do not prevent in
dustrial wars, he said and so long
as the masters of capital want to fight,
SO long will the workingmen fight.

yesterday sent to him five cuts of fac
sfmiieis of the former state auditors
name and one cut of the state auditors
seal. BY the use of these the signature
was made to closely resemble. a pen and
ink signature and the seal was put on
| embossed SO as to Very closely resem-
BILE the genuine. H. fact only an ex-
pert would have observed the decep-
ton.
No further action has been taken as
yet. There is an open question as 20
whether or not this use of a seal o.
imitation of a seal constitutes a fraud
sufficiently to bring the case under the
PENAL statutes of the state. There was
no immediate fraud committed by the
use of the seal. But the evident pur-
pose was 10 deceive persons with the
further object of avoiding payment OF
the fees to the state. All of the parties
concerned profess to have acted In per-
fect good faith in the matter. Mr..
Merriam is not in the city now and IL
is not known whether he did in fact
authorize the irregular use of seal
belonging to a state office. Merriam
time that company commenced to use
the certificates with printed seals H
has since sold out his company to the
National Life and Trust. 1t is believed
he has no connection with any of the
companies now. Mrs. Merriam is a
stockholder in the National since the
sale of the Security. The cuts se-
cured from the printer are now in the
state auditors office. One of the COM
panies yesterday asked permission to
Use what certificates il had on hand,
but the state auditor refused this per :
mission. The secretary then sent to
the state auditor and on payment of
SIS got fifty certificates that were gem
uine.
Other state Officials are being both
cred with queries relating to these ten
year gold bond companies. A state Of
fetal a few days ago received letter
from a man in Kansas who said he had
received one of the policies or bonds.
but had not yet paid anything on 1t and
he wanted some Information before he
begun paying. He said that the agent
had assured him that If he paid 500 a
year for ten years he would get back
$4,000 or twice what he had put in.
and that the state of Iowa guaranteed
this. But on receiving the policy he
failed to find the guaranty. and he
therefore wanted to know just what
the state does guarantee before he
paid out of his money. Letters similar
to this have been received by num-
ber of officials. From this it is inferred
that the certificates With the spurious
seal of a state office are finding their
way into many states.
