CONGRESS STIRRED UP
Bills Meant to Avert Coal Strike
in Both Houses.

Washington, March l9-Prospects Of a
coal strike stirred members Of both houses
of Congress to action to-day. Senator
Townsend introduced bill to provide for
federal investigation Of any controversy
affecting interstate commerce, and Repre-
sentative Esch offered a similar measure in
the House
The House Committee on Interstate Com
merce decided TO appoint a subcommittee
10 consider and report on Representative
Lees bill TO extend the Erdman arbitration
and mediation act 10 apply to coal mine
owners and operators. Representative Lee
believes It would avert a strike of anthra-
cite miners.
No action in connection with the threat
ened strike had been taken by the House
Labor Committee. Chairman Wilson said
to-day that nothing would be done until
after the proposed suspension Of work on
April !.
Personally, believe agreements will he
reached TO avert a coal strike" said Mr.
Wilson, "but the public seems 20 lose sight
OF the fact that should there be strike
Of anthracite miners. numbering 5000
men, there would also be a strike Of
bituminous miners. $4,000 In number, with
whom no agreements have yet been signed.
The possibility of coal strike is causing
anxiety at the Navy Department. Will"
the strike would affect the anthracite
mines, II might increase the cost Of bi-
luminous coal. which would be largely used
as a substitute.
Secretary Meyer will confer tomorrow
with representatives OF some Of the bi-
luminous coal companies which supply the
navy The Boston yard is short Of coal
and there is some apprehension that other
yards will soon be affected. but the fleet
is in better condition. owing to the ability
OF the ships TO select their cOaling ports
Another serious question may soon arise
when it becomes necessary TO replenish the
stores of coal shipped from the Virginia
mines 10 the insular possessions and the
foreign stations OF the American fleet. IN
dications are that the contracts which the
navy will soon make for its coal supply
for the next fiscal year will show con-
siderable increase in price.

with an exceptionally good tenor voice in
the person of Ralph Messena, sixteen years

tinctly heard in 26th street and In First
avenue The visitors congregated in the
courtyard beneath the balcony and re-
mained for nearly an hour, while the young
patient sang a number of popular songs.
81 love to sing pathetic songs" the boy
said later. MY mother is dead-that made
a big hole in my life. My father Is mu-
sician, and he trained me-"
As he ended his improvsed concert a
penny was tossed on TO the balcony by
some one in the crowd standing in the
courtyard below. Messena, who was un-
able to arise, smiled in appreciation. He
requested Miss Anna Christian, a nurse, to
purchase a newspaper with the penny,
which was done The boy turned to the
sporting page and read eagerly.

22d street yesterday under the auspices Of
the Charity Organization Society.
DR.. w. r.. B. Du Bos, director OF pub
lcty and research for the National Associ-
alton for the Advancement Of COlOred Peo-
pie, was the first speaker He mentioned
the effects of social barriers. saying:
discrimination against the negro was
formerly discrimination against ignorance
and nefficiency, but is now becoming more
and more discrimination against enlight-
enment and efficiency"
In the discussion which followed his talk
some one in the audience asked DR.. Du Bois
what was the grandfather clause" to which
he had previously referred. He explained
that It was impossible in many OF the
Southern states for persons TO vote whose
grandfathers were not able to vote at a
certain date, which date was prior to the
emancipation Of the negro.
Now and then" said DIR. Du Bois, Il
am asked questions like that which sur
prise me greatly. l took 1t for granted
every one knew those bare facts, but ] con-
stantly meet with ignorance Of the whole

EXAMINE ROSALSKY LETTERS
Police Working on Clew to Bomb
Sender.

| A large package of threatening letters re-
ceiyed by Judge Otto A. Rosalsky during
| the last few weeks was turned over yester-
day to Deputy Police Commissioner Dough-
erty, who has charge Of the Investigation
OF the bomb explosion in the judges library
| last Saturday. Joseph Schulum. the Judges
| secretary went 10 Police Headquarters
with the letters The police wished to look
them over, in the hope OF finding possible
clew to the bomb sender.
Judge Rosalsky said yesterday that mona
OF the letters was OF recent date, and that
they were only few his secretary had
saved OF the hundred or more he had re-
ceived Practically all of them. It was said.
were the expression of opinion Of cranks
on the Brandt case The Judge did not
think they would throw any light on the
bomb case
IT do not feel called upon to pursue .
personal investigation OF the case" Judge
Rosalsky said yesterday, "and the whole
matter is entirely in the hands OF the po-
lice stand ready, however. to give them
any assistance can. I am still inclined to
disagree with the police theory that the
sender OF the bomb was a crank"
Several experts in explosives conferred
with the police at Headquarters yesterday
and examined the remnants Of the Rosalsky
bomb, as well as what was left Of the bomb
that killed Mrs. Helen Taylor six weeks
ago. Postoffice Inspectors Jacobs ano
James were also at Headquarters. Experts
from the typewriter companies examined
the typewriter addresses on both OF the
bombs.
David l. Kelly, Superintendent of the Bu-
reau OF Combustbles, reported to Commits
sioner Dougherty that in all his expert
ence with bombs he had never found two
that looked so much alike as the Taylor
and Rosalsky bombs. There were fifteen
distinctive features In the makeup OF tbs
Taylor bomb, from the experts point OF
view, and twelve were identical in the Ro-
salsky bomb, it was said.
Commissioner Dougherty stuck to his the
ory yesterday that the two cases were
closely associated. He intimated that the
police were working on definite clew, but
declined to go into details.

GERMAN STRIKE C0LLAPSES
Westphalian Miners Leaders
Consider It Useless to Go On.

Berlin. March 19.-The leaders of the
miners union decided during their session
at Bochum to-day TO terminate the coal
strike at Westphalia, as they consider 1t
useless.
The disintegration of the movement was
increasingly rapid to-day.
The houses Of three non-strikers IN the
vicinity of Dortmund were dynamted to-
day. No one was hurt
The situation in other mining districts
has not changed, except that a few nun
dred men have struck work in Silesia.
Denain, France, March 9.-The strike
which broke out yesterday among the coal
miners OF this region is extending through
out the district. OF the thirteen thousand
miners attached to the pits, about seven

SPECIAL DEPUTY NABS A MAN
Hamburger Congratulates Appointee for
Arresting Alleged Burglar.

Here IS something worth telling about it
is SO unusual; in fact. perhaps unprecedent-
ed; so far as the records being concerned
there is nothing to compare with IT. This
all important announcement is that q spe-
ciaI deputy sheriff, an appointee of Sheriff
Julius Hamburger. has mace an arrest.
And Just think OF 1t. this intrepid special
deputy did not so disgrace his gilt shield
~ office TO arrest a peanut vender nor a
how for shooting craps, but took into GUS
todv a man whom he suspected Of trying

GIEGERICH DISPUTES GAYNOR
Justice Says Most of Laws Delays Are
the Fault of Attorneys.

Justice Glegerich took occasion yesterday
10 say something about the laws delays.
upon which Mayor Gaynor caustically COM
mented on Monday night In public speech.
The Justice placed the burden OF response
bilty for delays in bringing actions to trial
and disposing OF them on the lawyers. who
he said, are nearly always to blame.
Justice Giegerlch said that he wanted
to repudiate emphatically the statement
that the 1usticese were at fault. His COM
ments were made I'm the open courtroom
after the trial OF a case which he had to
dismiss for want OF sufficient evidence. He
said in part:
II do not mean to accuse the bar as a
whole Of dlatory methods but the vast
majority of the lawyers are responsible
for the drag and slowness Of legal pro-
ceedings In this jurisdiction. Personally |
declare myself not "A party TO any legal
DELAY, and do not believe that any mem
Der of the Supreme Court bench in New
York is" ..---- -.------

cepted by many owners. and to prevent the
national calamity which would result from
prolongation Of the strike II was worth
experimenting with. Even though the
remedy provided was only temporary, It
gave the nation time to devise more
permanent solution OF the problem.
Critics Of the bill, he added, had not sug-
2ested an alternative. They talked Of ap-
plying governmental pressure on the dis
putants, but did not indicate how this
should be applied. He denied that the de-
mand for a minimum wage was a syndi-
calist proposal. seeing that the government
conceded II to every civil servant.
J. Ramsay Macdonald, on behalf OF the
Labor party, regretted the necessity for
the BILL but said that the Labor members
would hail it IL it were amended in ac-
cordance with their desire. They would
then give it all their support but they
would have TO ask for some amendments in
regard to the safeguards
The inclusion OF workman's schedule
Will be one Of the amendments" he said.
There must also be security that the dis
trict boards should have no power to re-
duce the existing rates Of pay Mr.. Mac
donald concluded that he thought the House
ought to make il possible TO get the bill
through this week in a form which would
be tOlerably satisfactory to all concerned.
At n meeting Of the Miners Federation
tonight much discomfort was expressed at
the indefnitencss of the minimum wage
provisions. and it is expected that the labor
leaders will renew their attempts to secure
their schedule of miuima by amendment.
The government. however. is anxious to
have the miners return TO work on Monday,
as the shortage OF coal has resulted In the
dislocation of railway and public services.
as well as business of all kinds, and the
situation is becoming disastrous. Therefore
every effort will be made TO get the bill
through. The House of Lords will hold a
special sitting on Saturday. in order to
carry the measure through the necessary
stages
Charles Fenwick. Liberal member for
Northumberland. who is a working collier,
says he thinks that IL will be necessary to
take a ballot Of the men on the bill before
work is resumed at the mines. If so, II
will he impossible to resume on Monday.
Further rioting occurred In Lanarkshire
to-day. when non-unionsts went into the
pits. Serious collisions between the police
and miners ended with the arrest OF some
of the rioters and the injury of others. A
similar disturbance occurred at ST. Helens,
Lancashire.
The labor leader. Tom Mann. was ar
rested here to-day at the instance of the
police OF Stafford, where he is alleged to
have made an infiammatory speech recent

EXPECT COAL SHUTDOWN
Dealers Say Another Conference
Will Not Keep Mines Open.
WOULD BENEFIT OPERATORS
Declare Owners Would Get High
er Prices, Whether There Was
a Strike or a Settlement.

While the fear of a coal strike which
would last all summer had diminished yes
terday, partly because Of the statement Of
George F. Baer, president Of the Philadel-
phia & Reading and of the Central Railroad
Of New Jersey, that the committee Of oper-
ators was still ready to meet the mine
workers in conference, we'll posted coal
dealers said 1t was practically certain that
there would be a shutdown On behalf OF
Mr.. Baer il was said that there was moth
ing new in the statement, as the two COM
mittees had parted with the understanding
that there would be another conference II
the workers so desired.
Mr.. Baer came here from Philadelphia
yesterday and spent several hours In his
Office at No. 143 Liberty street, leaving the
city in the afternoon. He did not have his
usual weekly conference with the heads or
the coal carrying roads, but simply con-
ferred with w. S. Besler, general manager
OF the Central Railroad Of New Jersey, on
railroad affairs
One Of the largest coal dealers In the
city said he was convinced that no settle
ment would be reached before April 1, and
that there would be a shutdown before ne
gotiations were started, II new conferences
were held.
"A shutdown OF six weeks or so would
benefit the company operators, as well as
the Independent operators" he said, 10
the extent of enabling them TO get higher
prices for the coal sold before a settle
ment There would be no April discount OF
30 cents a ton and in case OF a shutdown
Of six weeks or so the discount would start
at 20 or 80 cents off, according to the
month. At present spectators are bidding
for all the coal they can get Some of
them have even bought more than they
wanted at premium to hold for the shut
down and sold what they did not need to
other spectators at premium, so con-
sumers will pay two profits at least on this
coal"
One Of the large mining companies has
compiled record of the growth of pros
perity in the anthracite districts as far as
1t can be measured by the increase in bank
deposits and the number of banks in the
districts. This record shows that the de-
posits in all banks in the anthracite region
increased from $50, ,49,Ool on January /,
1904, TO sll8069,951 on January l, 1872 or "a
per cent, while the number Of banks in
creased from IS to 1O6, or Sc per cent. The
banks in this region, the record says, de-
pend principally on the working population
for their deposits and the bulk of the total
represents the accumulatons Of mine work
ers. A statement issued giving the figures
says, in part:
For convenience. in gathering the infOr-
nation, the anthracite region was divided
into eight sections. as follows HaZeton
region, Lyllens region, Wilkes Barre, WYo-
ming Valley local towns. Scranton. Lacka-
wanna Valley local towns, Southern field
and Middle field. With the exception Of the
Lykens region new banks have been or
ganized IN all the sections in the last eight
years.
