 Senator Mccall stated that he was not acquainted with the coal mining business, but that he had many of the people residing in his district tell him that their business had been ruined by the passage of the mine run bill in 1905, and he believed what they told him instead of what inter ested partes had to say. He strong ly favored the repeal of the law.

 A most important bill was intro duced by Senator White, taking one township from Saline county and add l ing a pike road over this seven miles and putting in a steel bridge across creek. It was pointed out that the 1 finances of Saline county will never be sufficient for the construction of the macadam road or the bridge, and ] that if the territory is annexed to Pulaski county the good road be- tween Little Rock and Hot Springs can be completed The bill was re- referred to the cities and towns com mittee.
 Senator Owens introduced his third bill abolishing capital punishment. In this one he endeavors to remove le- gal complications of the others.

 After the Cazort mine run bill had been read once a motion was made by Senator Burgess that it be read a second time. Objection was made and he asked for suspension of the rules, and 26 to 4 voted to read it a second time Senator Calvert then moved that the bill be definitely postponed, refusing to permit it to go to the mining committee, as he 1 desired to have the fight out then and there.
 Senator Calvert then took the floor in opposition to the bill and spoke for a half hour. He declared that it was possible under the exist ing law for the operators to reach an agreement with the miners to dig the coal in any manner they desired and | that the present law was the only way in which the miner received just com pensation for his labor, or knew that he would be properly paid He all legged that if the law is changed so hat the coal must pass over screens | he miners get no pay TOT the coal be-

 any give it to the miners. Senator

 The senator from Sebastian did not assert that. the coal operators would cheat the miners, but he stated there might be a change from the present operators, and in some instances even

bettermcnts in advance of union de-

miners representing his employees the
text of the "Rockefrllor Industrial
Plan" by which he and his associates
hope to bring about permanent indus
trial peace in the mining camps of
the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company.
In brief the Rockefeller plan for con
tnuancc of friendly relations between
the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company
and its employees is as follows:
Wages always in proportion to those
paid in other competitive districts.
Opportunity to air grievances, real
or fancied. and the broadcast scheme
of arbitration where company and
men 6tt soktNh'i'
The right of the men TO belong to
labor unions If they wish, and no dis
elimination against them if they do.
No discharges of men except for vi
olations of printed and posted rules
or of state laws. and then usually
only after second offense.
The company and the men each to
choose representatives to frequent con
ferences at which all questions OF
working and living conditions. social
and industrial betterment, camp san
itation, doctors and hospitals, mine
safety. education and recreation. shall
be discussed.
A system OF appeals on grievances
either real or fancied, by which an EN-
ploye may take his case to various Of
| ficers of the company. and even to the
State Industrial Commission for set
tlement
Assurance that the company heads
will at all times work with the men
for the communal good. and invite
suggestions. criticisms and complaints
which are for the common welfare.
| The plan was presented by Mr..
Rockefeller in person TO represent
| atives of the miners from every Colo
rado Fuel and Iron Company camp In
the state. The representatives were
elected by the workmen themselves at
secret meetings from which all com
pany representatives were barred. The
plan as proposed calls for the con
tinuance of this representative system
in dealings between employe and en-
ployer. and the same secrecy which
the employees enjoyed In choosing the
men to represent them at yesterday 8
conference will be adhered to. as II is
a part of the new Rockefeller plan.
| After thorough discussion the
plan was adopted 1t will now be re-
ferred for approval TO the board of di'
rec:ors of the company on the one
hand and to the company's miners at
the several camps on the other hand.
II the plan is adopted by both factions

nized virtually as a constitution for
