Special to Times Republican.
Boone, May 25.-The real work of
the third party prohibitionists of Iowa
began at 1880 this afternoon, when
State Chairman w. D. Elwell Of Ames.
called the convention to order. Rev.
George NJ. Adams, Of Hedrick, was
elected temporary chairman, and de-
iivered stirring address along ster-
,eotyped lines. II. E. Woodring, of
Delwein, was named as temporary
secretary. and the work Of perfectiny
the temporary organization was be-
gun.
The work Of yesterday and the fore
3noon session today was in charge Ct
the Temperance Alliance. Discussions
on prohibition and religious questions
were entered into with great deal
of zeal.
A petition is being circulated this
afternoon by Anti-Saloon League
workers, asking that a convention Of
Boone county be called early In juno.
IL the convention is called Superinten-
dent l. N. McCash, of Des Moines, will
be present for an address. The work
of the Anti Saloon League is not IN
perfect harmony with the third parry
workers, for the Anti-Saloon League is
a non-p partisan body, and believes in
ridding the country of the saloon evil
without carrying it into party poll
tics.
After the appointment of the differ

the work of electing chairman of the
state central committee. w. d. Ell

be brought up this evening, but it IS
thought probable they will go over until
tomorrow morning.

tain questions propounded to him at
the previous session of the commission.
Truesdale said the price of Lackawana
coal at tidewater was fixed by the Of
ficers of the company under it's gener-
al direction. There was no agreement
as to price circulars and the fact that
prices We're uniform he explained by
saying one company would follow the
lead Of another as a question OF poll
icy. He knew it was against the law
to maintain fixed schedule of coal
prices and for that reason the price
was not fixed. Witness said in spite of
the coal strike. award of the national
commission and other contingencies,
the companys coal business had grad
ually grown more profitable.

BAER ON PRICE OF COAL.
Says Coal Trust Fixes the Price at
What People Will Pay,

New York, May 24.-DeHant as ever
of public sentiment and OF his ques-
TONERS George II. Baer, head of the
coal trust. so-called. smilingly declar-
ed today that the price of coal is not
haed SO much by the COST of mining and
transportation as by the willingness Of
the consumer to pay what is ASKED.
I'VE don't reduce the price OF coal be-
cause we are good merchants he told
the members OF the interstate ccm-
merce c,\nmission. before whom a
hearing INSTITUTED by William r.
Hearst was resumed today. "As long
as there is demand fo- all the coal we
can mine al the price we ask there will
be no reduction In the cost to the con-
suIner."
How about the discount of 90 cents
a ton offered by you in April !" he was
asi cd.
That, too, is strictly matter OF
business, he declared. THE discount
is made for the purpose of inducing
trs ie during the warm months. when
otheru sse business woc.G be very slack.
The system was introduced several
years ago--it is based on experience
and SO far 1t has worked satisfactor-
lily.
There is no commercial. reason why
we shculd redu"e the or'ce of coal at
present." he added. The Reading
Coal and Iron Company ought TO be
making profit of $5,000.1e6 Il year in
order to pay a per cent dividend, and
until that point is reached there will
be no reduction in prices unless IT IS
n.ade necessary by the laws g. t:a.ie -
Mr.. Baer has already stated that the
profits of the coal company last year
available for paying dividends were
only $4,000.
How do you explain the fact that the
profits two years ago were less than
last year," asked Clarence j. Shearn.
counsel for the complainant. I suppose
YOU will refer to the strike"
mot at ALL" interrupted Mr. Baer.
eIn January and February Of 1902 east
ern Pennsylvania was visited by the
most disasterous foods In its history.
Many OF our mines were flooded. The
cost of production was greatly increas-
ed, while the output was decreased.
The difference in profits was due to
physical conditions which the Lord
created. suppose that will shock you
peopIe." he added with a smile.
Referring to the price OF coal in an

I'VE shall hold UP the price OF coal just
as long as the people will pay 1T. You
