AS to the charge that Barber engi-
neered the deal by which Bermudez
Lake was thrown into the hands Of a
receiver" by Castro. as the result of a
deal under which the President, the
receiver" and Barber were to share
the profits of the sale OF asphalt from
the Venezuelan lake. Mr.. Barber is
now confronted by the evidence just
given before a referee in New York
by William Young Kinleyside, one OF
his business associates.
Kinleyside states that he was invit-
ed to go into the deal as the selling
agent for Bermudez asphalt in Eng
land. He quotes Barber as saying
that most of the judges who have
been unfavorable Ito the sequestra-
ton of the asphalt lake, have been
removed One OF BARRIERS letters
was produced by Kinleyside in which
the writer said that there was moth
ing to do but wait patiently for the
mills of the courts to grind out the
grist which we are all anxious to get"
Another letter introduced states that

permanent foothold, we are only act

New York, Nov. 1.-THE following
statement is authorized on behalf o.
the anthracite coal operators:
Mine 1aborers are benefting largely
from the rule of the Anthracite Strike
Commission, requiring that the opera
tors make direct payments to contract
miners helpers. Formerly the miner
was supposed to pay his own laborers,
who load the coal cut or blaster by
him. Under that system the ope orators
had no way of knowing the wages
earned by miners laborers, and were
therefore unable to refute the cry of
starvation wages
Now they find that the laborer fire.
quently receives for his work, which
requires no skill. from $3.50 TO s2.75
a day.
The contract miners laborers often
Jared badly under the old system. The
miner frequently failed to pay him at
all, and as he had no right TO look
TO the company for redress. he was
helpless. When he was paid the sa-
loon was generally selected as the
pay place, in order that the saloon
keeper might assist in making change:
and it frequently happened that both
the miner and the laDorer spent much
of their earnings over the bar before
they left the saloon.
These evils have been done awav
with as a result of the direct-payment
award. which is now fully in force.
All contract miners are required to
furnish. prior to each pay day, a state
ment of the amount due from them
20 their laborers. The coal company
