Philadelphia, Feb. 12.-With the expec-
tatlon OF hearing George F.. Baer, presi-
dent of the Reading company, make the
closing argument against the demands of
the miners. the largest crowd that has
vet damned into the United States cir
cult courtroom was present when the
coal strike commission opened it's ses
sion to-day.
Former Congressman Wolverton, prin-
cipal counsel for the Philadelphia & Read
ing Coal and Iron company, who was
making his argument when the commits
sion adjourned yesterday afternoon, con-
ciuded this morning. Mr.. Wolverton pre-
sented an array of figures tending to
show that the average earnings Of the
contract miners Of the Reading company
are higher than the average earnings Of
most of the skilled workmen of the state
He also opposed the demand for an eight
hour. day because it would reduce the out
put of the mines and also would reduce
the present wages Of the men. Revert
ing to the wage question, Mr. Wolverton
said that If an increase in wages is de-
cided upon it should not be a horizontal
one. but should be on sliding scale
basis. =s.v
Owing to the crowd in the courtroom
there was considerable, noise and confu-
sion while he was speaking, but the in
slant President Baer rose hush fell
as long as he was on his feet. Mr.. Baer
is considered a good speaker, but he pre-
ferred to read his carefully prepared ar
gument. Here and there he would lay
down his manuscript and raise his voice
to high pitch when he wished to en-
phasize a strong point. He said:
MIR. Baer's Views.
I'm the development of the natural re-
sources of the earth it Is necessary for
men to combine both their capital and
| their. energy. Railroads, steamship lines,
great steel plants and workshops of every
kind can only be created by combination
of capital. We are apt to overlook the
part these business corporal tons play in
the distribution of wealth Their small
holders, are many, scattered far and wide,
and the business lis. not owned, as many
people suppose, by. a very feW&rich men.
The profits made in any large business
carried on by a firm, consisting OF one
family, or a very few persons, are dis
tributed among; these few. but a successful
business carried on corporate form dis
| tributes its profits among the many and
therefore necessarily tends to greater
distribution of wealth.
The Rights of Labor.
TN general no one denies the right
of man to organize for any lawful purpose.
but the right to organize and the power of
| the organization when organized must still
be governed and controlled by the general
law of the laid under which our individual
and property rights are protected.

Can blackberry brandy, containing
salycilic acid be sold under the Min

According to the state dairy and
food commissioners it cannot, for they
are to enforce the law to the letter.
The wholesalers say, that if it is Ia
beled it can be sold the same as
baking powder or any material likely
to be adulterated. One jobber said
that man can purchase strychnine
or any other poison at a drug store,
even if it is mixed with whisky, but
If liquor contains anything as a pre-
sentative it is condemned.
Fred w. Noerenberg, one of the
large wholesalers, says he has stopped

per cent Of salycilic acid, he says, to
keep it, from turning into vinegar.

not contain this drug as a preserva-
tive. If the local wholesaler isito be

Up and Robbed of Her Purse Com
tanning All Her Money-Po Have
a Good Description of the Man.

The highwayman who has been
operating in the Eighth ward and
whose speciality is to hold up and rob
defenseless women added another
victim to his list last night when he
held up a servant girl employed near
Chicago avenue and TWenty-fifth
street. and took her purse, containing
goodly sum, and some valuable
papers.
The girl was on her way home after
making a call and was walking on
Twenty-flfth street near Park avenue,
when she met the robber. She did not
mistrust any danger until he threw
one arm about her neck and placed a
hand over her mouth to prevent any
outcry. She could not resist and he
took her purse.
Don't you try to yell or call the
police until I'm out of sight, warned
the robber as he left, ''or I'll put a
bullet thru your body. Do you UNI

The girl was too frightened to
move and remained in the same spot
for several minutes until Mr.. and
Mrs. George II. Thurber, 2435 Co
lumbus avenue, came by, when she
told them Of the hold up. AS the
highwayman had been gone several
minutes, the matter was not reported
to the police until to-day.
The girl described the highwayman
to Mr.. Thurber as about 5 feet IL
inches TALL dark complexioned and
wearing a mustache. He did not wear
an overcoat. He is evidently the same
man who held up Grace Tierney at
Third avenue and TWenty-second
street few nights ago.
