PREACHERS TALK TO PRINTERS
New York ClerGymen Confer with
strikers Over Affairs of the
Book Concern.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1s-ln response to an
appeal from Typographical union No. g.,
about twenty clergymen of the Methodist
Episcopal church today met a committee
from the striking printers of the Methodist
Book Concern and heard their grievances.
The men contended that the eight-hour day
for which they struck was a just demand
and declared they had been locked out by
the boon concern because they were strug
Cling to better their condition.
Rev. D. C. Cook spoke for the clergy
men. He said the Methodist Book Concern
had advanced the wages of its printers a
year ago and had always been considered a
closed shop until the recent strike made 1t
necessary TO become an open shop. He de-
clared that some of the men who struck
had been employed by the concern for
nearly nifty years. He also asserted that
the Methodist Book Concern should not be
treated as a commercial institution, as it
was not conducted for gain. but for the
benefit OF widows. orphans and worn-out
ministers. He said he thought the printers
had made a mistake in going on strike.
The Methodist church was a church for
the working people, however, and always
would be and the conference would con-
slider what could be done for the printers.

BEEF TRUST CASES OPEN
specisi Pleas of Indicted Packers for
Immupity Argued Before
Judge Humphrey.


CHICAGO, Jan. 1S - The trial of the
special pleas of ]. Ogden Armour and
the other packers. and attorneys, now
under indictment for conspiracy to restrain
trade and commerce were opened late
today before Judge Humphrey in the
United States district court. Among the
defendants in court at the opening OF the
case were j. Ogden Armour, Charles w.
Armour. T. j. Connors, Ira n. Morris,
Edward Morris, Charles f. Swift. Edward
Swift, Edward Cudahy and A. II. Veeder.
The issue in the present case is the
contention of the packers that the govern
ment should not prosecute them under the
indictments found because they are en-
titled to immunity under section OF the
law which grants freedom from prosecution
TO any person who is compelled to pro-
duce discriminating evidence against HIM
self 1t is claimed by the packers that
they were compelled by Commissioner of
Corporations Garfield to give such evil
dence. and that they were moreover prom
ised immunity by him. The result of the
hearing which began today will determine
whether or not tho government has the
right to proceed to trial under the indict-
ments returned against the packers.
Attorney John S. Miller for the pack
ers made the opening statement. He took
up the Garfield report. explaining 1t, and
detailing at length the issues of fact which
are involved in the case Mr.. Miller then
launched into long discussion of the law
governing interstate commerce. District
Attorney Morrison raised an objection to a
long discussion of the law.
II am inclined TO permit the widest lati-
tude in this matter" said Judge Humph-
rey.
| Mr. Miller then continued his statement
but at the close of the day he had not
completed his arguments and he will again
have the floor at the opening of court to-

1 am not able to give figures but / will
say that the assets OF the company will be
ample to protect all of the creditors and
that there will not be any financial loss. The
penses and a poor run Of business The af-
fairs of the company will be wound up and
It will go out of business All OF our open
trades have been transferred to Pringle,
Fitch & Rankin and that concern will care
for all of our customers who have deals
still pending on the board. The fact lie that
the firm was forced out Of business The
cause Of the trouble is not immediate. but
has been coming for some time. High ex-
penditures and small receipts are the cause
of the suspension and that Is about all there
is to the matter. II suchia condition had

1t is not believed that the suspension will
have any effect on the Board of Trade to-
morrow The number of open accounts car
ried by the flrm was not large, and con-
| sisted for the most part of trades in corn
and oats. The firm did no Stock exchange
business, although II dealt somewhat in cot
ton. Because Of the condition of the mar

have been few in number and of limited

The four Bridgemans were brothers, as
were the three Snyders, the three McCar-
dies and the two Mickels The McLaugh-
Inns were father and son. That more men
were not in the mine at the time of the
accident was due to the fact that almost
all of the day men, consisting of miners,
leaders and drivers, were eating their din
ners on the outside and thus escaped the
fate OF their comrades, The explosion oc-
CURED at 1880 O'Clock. Had 1t been either
before or after the noon hour the death
list would have been still more appalling,
as hundreds Of man would have been killed.
The force of the explosion was so great
that the hills trembled. Tons of wreckage
and debris were hurled from the mouth
of the mine blocking the entrance and
making the work Of rescue difficult. The
first body reached was that OF G. p. Neal
which was discovered $50 yards from the
entrance. The mine superintendent says
that the other men were working much
further back than Neal, and he has no hope
of reaching them until tomorrow morning

the surveillance of contraband along their
