do so.
Senator Dolliver, as the joint author
with Hepburn of the administration

Clapp will attend meetings Of the inter

soon as this matter is out of the way.

NEW AID IS PLEDGED
TO The COAL TRUST.
Independents Tell Baer They Will
Help Fight Mine
Strike.
Journal Special Service.

Journal Special Service.
y Philadelphia, Feb. 10.-Independent
operators in both bituminous and an
thracite fields today pledged support,
in the event Of strike on the part
of coal. miners, to Al. Cassatt and
George T. Baer as representing the two
railroads that control the two branches
Of the coal industry.
Frank Pardee brought the promise of
the anthracite independent operators
and John Fl. Weaver represented the
Independents in the bituminous fields.
After hearing from the Independents,
Cassatt and Baer had long conference,
and it is announced that a positive
statement regarding the position of the
operators will be made public in Phila-
delphia next week, probably just in
advance of the meeting Of the miners
union in New York Thursday.
AS result Of the various moves Of
the day it is generally regarded in
financial circles that the strike is far
more probable than has been thought
at any previous time. Heretofore The
Pennsylvania and Reading railroads
have been trihe opposed on strike
issues and each anthracite strike has
seen great gains made by the bitumin-
Gus operators in widening their mar
kets. e. ....5
The present situation, in which both
anthracite and bituminous miners
threaten to strike at the same time, has
brought the two railroads into close
conference, and while neither Baer nor
| Cassatt would consent to be interviewed
regarding the conference today, it
seemed certain from the attitude that
the two great operating railroads had
agreed to stand together in case Of a
| strike. +

the courts pronouncing a railroad
regulation law unconstitutional.
1t was argued that the late court
practice of annulling Legislation
was an upstart heresy in our his
tory. The trainers OF the national
and state constitutions never in
tended such a thing. One will
search in vain for a warrant for it.
1t is uniting because the legls-
la,ure must itself interpret the
constitution by taking the initia-
tive in legislation for all the peo-
pie at once, while the courts can
act only by litigation of special
cases. Courts are presuming when
they assume to stand between the
people and the Legislature. The
latter belongs to the people and
represents them itself. instead of
the courts doing so. The sup
posed warrant for the practice
from the necessity of choosing
the higher law when constitution
and legislation conflict would be
equally plausible for the execu-
tive. In fact. it is sound as a
last resort, as an almost revolu-
tionary measure, in a plain and
manifest case, and in no other.

was very cordially received
by Mr.. Gam, the president, and
Mr.. Palmer, the secretary of the
Association. After lunch they
turned me over to Mr.. Crews, of
the Crews Beggs store. A more
pleasant and friendly gentleman
one could not find.
After the tormalities OF organ
izine the convention Mr.. Palmer
read a very carefully prepared
statement on the inequalities. ir-
regularities and absurdities of
Colorado railroad rates and spoke
of the poor management resPon-
sible for the late horrible acci-
dents. He was followed by
George J. Kindle, of Denver, the
great expert on rates, who quoted
a large number of manifestly in
equitable rates. He dwelt espec-
tally on the fact that it costs more
to ship from the east to Colorado
points than it costs to ship through
Colorado to the coast and back
over the mountains to the same
points. He said the rate on GER
tain goods from Chicago to Omaha
was 20 mills per ton per mile and
35 mills per ton per mile from
Chicago to Denver. and that Ari-
zona, Utah and Wyoming paid
one mileage book coupon per
mile but the minute the Colorado
line was reached the conductor
tore out six coupons for every
FIVE miles.
Then, much to my surprise, Mr..
Gam demanded a speech for the
fruit country of the Western Slope
from the delegate from Paonia.
told them that we at Paonia ex-
pected the finest fruit crop in the
world. That it was doubling up
from year to year and we would
ship 1900 cars from the North
Fork this year. That we feared
only two things; first, that we
could not have help enough to
take care of it, and secondly, that
the railroad would not have suffi-
cient facilities to handle the fruit
promptly. That we raised apples
worth So a box on track, because,
for one reason, they would keep
nine months with proper hand
ling. but last year they laid on the
platform as high as three weeks
waiting for cars. Also that some
of our cattle men had to wait
three weeks and finally drive their
cattle to Redstone to ship, and
