WHEN UNION LABORER MET BAER.
A MINER FROM BLOODY HAZELTON FACED
"DIVINE RIGHT" APOSTLE UNAFRAD AND
TOLD HIM WHAT HE THOUGHT OF HIS TRUST.
Special Correspondence to The Press


PHILADELPHIA, March "a
When the man with the dinner
bucket faces his high and mighty
employer-goes in alone to him In
his sumptuous Office to complain
of wrongs endured-what happens?
He is overpowered with his weak
ness and isolation, his tongue
cleaves to the roof of his mouth,
he is overawed The things he
wants to say die within him. He
is mute.
But none the less he would love
to say what he thinks, to speak
with the eloquence and intensity of
the protest that stirs within his
bosom. Then here comes perhaps
a time whe nhe goes in another ca
pacity, the mouthpiece of 100000
of his fellow laborers, formed to-
gether in a union, and the heart is
in him to voice a common cause.
Then it is different.
This has happened. For the first
time is told here of how no less an
exalted parsonage than George F..
Baer, divine right" Baer, head and
front of the anthracite coal trust,
had the bitter words spoken to him
that so many have yearned to
speak to him.
The miners say that Andrew
Mattey is the first man to look into
the grim, cold eyes and immobile
face of Baer, to shake off diplom-
acy, and tell him that his system
was crushing the lives out Of the
miners.

FIVE make REFORM FIGHT

Out of the entire squad of so men
who are making the race for the
council there are five men who
stand out distinctly as reformers
and these men are making their
campaign largely on this basis.
William H. Shields, republican,
running for the first term in the
Third ward, is an arden prohibition
list and makes no bones about it.
He has run for the Office on the
prohibition ticket He is against
the; saloon, first, last, and all the
time.
w. R. Cooley, running for the sec,
ond term in the Third ward on the
republican ticket, is another strong
advocate of reform. Mr.. Cooley
has been prominent In church cir.
cles and Is foe to the saloon on
principle. He is also an advocate
of the Des Moines plan of govern
ment.

Fight for Straight Reform Policy.

church element and the real good,
clean government planks, are now
sparring for the church vote and
are doing their utmost to line
things up for Mr.. Fassett.
"The whole trend of events LETT
the Law Enforcement league in a
position where it was shut off from
expecting support from the very
element which should have backed
its principles. We felt We could
accomplish little in the face of the
action of the church element in
turning to politics rather than to a
platform broad enough for all
church people.
1--WE realize, however, that the
moral issue is becoming more and
more the real issue of the cam
paign, and we look to j. Grant
Hinkle as the best champion of the
desired reforms. Our organization
is and always has been non-polit-
ical, and there is no political move
in the action of the club. We fight
for principles and not for party.
During the meeting last night
We realized that under the circum.
stances candidate from the Lew
Enforcement league would split
the anti-saloon vote and give the
saloon element a better chance to
do business, and this was another
consideration in the matter"
Mr.. Sanders takes the position
that the Federated clubs, claiming
to be for good government, is
nothing more than a political or
ganizatiOn. He claims that the
Law Enforcement league an
nounced its platform in plenty of
time for the Federated clubs to
give the matter proper considera-
ton and learn that the platform
was the best In the point of calling
for a moral administration.
The action of the league has the
effect that it will boost the vote of
j. Grant Hinkle adm incidentally
cut into the vote of Mr.. Fassett, If
the league can deliver its strength.

GORDON ANXIOUS FOR
TRIAL WITHOUT WAITING
FOR THE GRAND JURY

An effort was made today by
Frank T. Post and N. e. Nuzum, at
torneys for M. J. Gordon. accused
of embezzling $4,000 of the funds of
the Great Northern railway, to
bring the case to an immediate
trial, without waiting the outcome
of the grand jury investigation In
to the matter.
The motion was filed two weeks
ago and set for a hearing for last
Saturday, when it was continued
until today. This morning counsel
for Gordon appeared before Judge
Hinkle and wanted an immediate
hearing on the motion. Judge Hin,
kle said that all criminal matters
belonged to Judge Webster and re-
ferred the matter to him.
The matter was called up in
Judge Webster's court later and he
positively refused to hear any
pleadings relating to the Gordon
case because his connection with
the prosecutors Office and his par
tiCipation in the Gordon case, dis
qualified him from hearing any
matters relating to it.
Back to Judge Hinkle's court
went the lawyers and after some
parleying 1t was agreed to take up
the question of bringing the Gordon
case to an immediate trial at $50
Tuesday morning.

In the hearing before the full
bench of nine judges of the SUI
preme court yesterday afternoon az
Olympia, on the question of the
right of the prosecuting attorney to
take stenographic notes in the
grand jury room. an effort was
made by Frank Graves and P. c.
Sullivan, appearing ostensibly for
Judge w. A. Huneke but in reality
for M. j. Gordon, to have the ap-
peal of Prosecutor Fred c. Pugh
thrown out on the ground that II
was improperly made. They held
that he should have permitted a
fine for contempt of court, in viola
ton of the orders of Judge Huneke,
and appealed therefrom instead OF
appealing fr the instructions OF
the court to The grand jury. Pugh
was cited for contempt but not
fined here.
Pugh. who had already been Civ
en- standing in court, insisted
that his appeal was properly made
and that an appeal made as sug-
gested would require months for
a hearing.
The case was then argued on its
merits and the attorneys asked to
submit briefs. Three weeks may
be required TO ra decision. Pugh
will return from Olympia tonight.

being taken to the Mercer county
Jail this morning, Mrs. j. II. Boyle,
accused of kidnapping the Whitla
boy, attempted to elude the sheriff
by jumping from the train while it
was running 80 miles an hour. She
was crwling through the window of

her.
The woman denies she is the
daughter of William McDermott, a

her description fits his missing

Boyle and wife were taken to
