T H E PEN N S Ylly A N I A LEG . 1SLATURE. 1 People's Alliance Submits This Plan to Legalize" Compulsory Arbitration. OPERATORS UNYIELDING AS TO BASIS OF SETTLEMENT SEVEN -ALLEGED RIOTERS HELD ON CHARGE OF CAUSING DEATH OP AN ITALIAN STRIKER AT MALTBY. Harrisbtirg-, Pa., Sept. 11. The con ference committee of the People's Al liance appointed at their convention at Hazelton last Thursday, appeared before Governor Stone this afternoon and sub mitted a plan for effecting1 a settlement of the anthracite coal strike. Their plan consists of calling an extra session of the legislature t enact laws for com pulsory arbitration; better control of foreign corporations doing - business in Pennsylvania and enforcing1 the six teenth, and seventeenth articles of the constitution. - Ianiel J. McCrary, of Hazleton, said the alliance represented the business people , of the hard coal districts and that its pair pose was to secure a set tlement of the strike. There was no sign of a settlement of legislature for the. enactment of legislature that will end th nresent strike and nrAVfvnfr strikes in the future. Mr. McCarthy I sugestea tnat ir an extra session is held some action should be taken to curb the great foreign corporations which are doing business in Pennsyl vania. He attacked the beef trust, the steel trust, and other large corpora tions, 'because of the alleged high prices which, they charged for their products. Mr. McCarthy further said: "President Baer. of the Philadelphia & Reading company, is the creature of J. P. Morgan, and the latter should be forced to compel Mr. Baer to arbitrate the strike - A load of coal cannot be bought in the coal region at present from any of -the large coal corporations at any price. 11 the legislation is- en acted which the alliance recommends, it will bring the strike to an end and prevent further strikes in the future." Mr. -McCarthy argued that the pres ent difficulty in the coal region comes through gross mismanagement of the great coal corporations. NoDe of these corporations, he said, pays a dividend, while the individual operators are all making money and getting rich. Be lief can be granted, he continued, by legislation. T. C. Parker.' of Wilkesbarre. said the conditions in. the anthracite regions are -horrible In a commercial way, and hundreds of people are being forced to leave that locality ibecaftse of., unfor tunate conditions. The best residents are going away, leaving the region with a remnant of unresirable people. If ever you needed a FILTER it is right now! Muddy water is the uni versal cry!

That a people su perior in intelligence to those of the earth inhabit the iplanet Mare is a con clusion that will be set forth by Prof. G. W. Hough, head of the department of astronomy of Northwestern univer sity, in a report which he is compiling of his summer" observations from the Dearborn observatory. He asserts this as a probability 'based on recent dis coveries, and adds . that of course, it may never le established positively. The conclusion Includes the accept ance of the theory of evolution and the statements of leading astronomers that climatic conditions of Mars are the same as of the earth. The possibility of Venus and Mercury being inhabited is admitted 'because they have solidified, and, the intense heat resulting- from their proximity to the sun may have been overcome by a .deeper covering of atmosphere. None of the other planets, in the opinion of the professor, could contain animal life. MARCONI CLAIMS HE HAS SOLVKD THE. PROBLEM Rome, Sept. 11.
