2 BAER SPEAKS FOR THE COAL BARONS Wage Proposition Miners are Glad to Accept. WHY NOT MADE BEFORE? So Questions Darrow Who Opens in an Argu* ment of Great Force and Beauty for the Miners — A Scathing Ar raignment. (Bv the Associated Press.) Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 12.—Before an audience that filled every inch of space in the United States Circuit court room here, George F. Baer, of the Reading Company, made his closing argument fer the coal operators before the Strike Commission today, and Claienee S. Dar row, chief counsel for the miners, be gan the summing up for the men. Mr. Baer concluded his address by making a proposition to pay the contract miners on a sliding wage scale, their wages to fall or rise with the market price of coal at New York, but that in no case shall the wages fall below the present basis. Mr. Darrow snoko at the afternoon ses sion and will take up all of tomorrow in closing the miners’ case. His remarks today were directed principally at the wage statements presented to the com mission. which, ho said, could not bo relied upon. Mr. Baer is considered a good speaker, but he preierred to read his carefully prepared argument. Here and there he would lay down his manuscript and raise his voire to a high pitch when he wished to emphasize a strong point. He sail lu part: “Many good nmn have found fault with us for not making an agreement with the United Mine Workers of America. You will recall that the demand made upon us was made for a uniform scale of wages, covering the whole anthracite field. Who now, will say in the light of the testimony, that the demand for ? uniform rate of wages extending all ovej the anthracite regions was reasonable? The different res in conditions between the anthracite operations and the bit uminous operations were clearly pointed out to there labor leaders. “We met them, as they requested, be fore the National Federation and discuss ed the whole situation. At the sugges tion of the Civic Federation, a commit tee of our employes and operators was appointed to further consider the subject and report to a meeting of the federa tion. to he railed by its chairman. “When we parted it was with the dis tinct/ understanding that, we should re port to the Civic Federation, the result of our conference. To our amazement the Civic Federation, for reasons of its own. was never convened to hear our report. We had a right to expect that the gentlemen of the Civic Federation would deal honestly and justly by us, and by their counsel and advice and in fluence help to avert the great disaster which, in all its ugliness, is now before us. They deserted the cause they had espoused.” After reviewing the old “sliding scale” wage system, Mr. Baer presented tills reposition: “That the rate of wages now paid shall be the minimum basis for the next three y< ars. that from the first of No vember. 1902, to the first of April, 1903, all employes, other than contract miners, shall be paid an additional five per cent. That on and after April 1. 1903, for each five cents in excess of $4.50 per ton on the average price realized for white ash coal in the harbor of New York, on all size above pea. wages shall he advanced one per cent; the wages to rise or fall one per cent for each five cents increase or decrease in prices, hut they shall never fall during the next three years below the present basis. “The average price for each region to be ascertained by a competent ac countant. each operator to submit a full statement each month to said accountant of all sales of white ash real, and the prices realized therefrom, f. o. b. New York.” Mr. Harrow in opening told of the operators’ refusal to ive the men more money, and said: “As a consequence of this act, 1 iT.ooo men lay down their tools of trade and we have seen 750,000 men, women and children reduced to want and starvation for six long months. We have seen the President of the United States appoint a commission to settle this difficulty, and then, this afternoon, in the last hour of the proceeding, the man more responsible than any other, comes be fore this commission and says we will do exactly that which those men de manded nine months before, and which they in their blindness, iheir ignorance and their stupidity refused. Why did not Mr. Baer go to Mr. John Mitchell eight months ago as he came to this commis sion today? “You can do just as you please about recognizing the union. If you do not recognize it, it is because you are Mind and you want to hump up against it sc mo more: that is all. It is here to stay, and the burden is on you and not upon us. There is neither the power nor disposition in this eburt, T take it. to destroy the union. And if these* agents of the Almighty cannot see the union they had better blunder along still a few more years and possibly after a while they will know it is here and recognize it themselves.” Passing to the wage statements handed to the Commission, Mr. Darrow said the operators have been deceived by their own accountants, and that whee Mr Baer informed the President of the United States and the Commission how much wages his men were getting, lie pave them information at Mast thirty < r forty per cent beyond any facts that really existed. “If, at the end of all this time and labor, he is willing to give us fi.p or ten per cent upon the figures that be pays correctly represent our earnings,’ j-aid Mr. Darrow, “we will be very glad indeed to take it. / “Five hundred dollars a year is a big psfee t*Jr itgTving your life and your limbs in your hand and going down into the earth to dig up coal to make some body else rich.” he said. “I have had a computation made covering every com pany that has filed schedules with this Commission, and in Mr. Baer's company only about a third of them got over four hundred dollars in the year of 1901.” Turning (o the mine laborers ho said mare than five out of every one’thou sand are killed every year, “to say noth ing of the maimed and the crippled and the blind who are turned out under the beneficent laws of the State of Penn sylvania to the alms houses and high ways and byways. These laborers got last year $333. Princely wages, and yet we are told that all was peace and joy and happiness in the anthracite region until Mr. Mitchell came.” In discussing the child labor question, Mr. Darrow said: “If the work of this Commission does not result in getting rid of this abom inably disgraceful evil of child labor in Pennsylvania then I think the people may well say that it has been a failure- The evidence in this case shows that in the vicinity of Scranton are at least twenty mills where little girls from 12 to 13 or 11 years of age are working ten and '.twelve hours a day and twelve hours at night ns well. Is there any man so blind that he does not know why the anthracite region is dotted with silk mills? They went there hoeauvo the miners were there. Every mill in that region is a testimony to the fact that the wages that you pay are so low that you sell your boys to he slaves of the breaker and your girls to be slaves in the mills.” CITE IS TO SELL CENTENNIAL SCHOOL Twenty-Five Thousand Dol in Five Per Cent Bonds to be Voted. The city of Raleigh is to sell the Centennial Graded School building and grounds to Raleigh Township for $25,000 in five per cent thirty year bonds of the township. This was determined last night insofar as the Board of Aldermen have the power. The matter will fce submitted to the people, probably at the time of the next municipal election this spring. Alderman Andrews, chairman of the Finance Committee of the Board of Al dermen, last night presented the recom mendation of what committee that the Board accept the proposition made by the Township Committee as named above and his motion that the proposition be accepted, was adopted unanimously.

(By the Associated Press.) Columbus, 0., Fob. 12.—A presidential boom in behalf of William R. llcarst and a bitter attack on alleged deserters from the Democratic party by William J- Bryan were the dominating notes at tin* barbecue given tonight by the Jcl'ferson- Jat kson-Lincoln League, organized a year ago by former Congressman John J. Lentz and others. Twelve hundred peo ple, men and women were present W. R. Hearst, who had been invited to address the banquet, sent his regrets in a telegram in which he said in part: “Three men whom you meet to honor are the* representatives of the plain and thoughts of the American nation as a free nation “ Washington made American self-gov ernment possible, but Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln directed American govern ment into its popular Democratic chan nel and made it true. “Until very recently Jefferson, Jackson >nd Lincoln could possibly be called typi cal of both of our great political par ties. All three of those men stood for the rights of all the people and their views have been represented in very great po litical movement until these latter days. “It cannot be denied that today one of the political parties has divorced itself from American principles and from these great American statesmen. “It is the duty of the Democratic par ty to return the power of government to the people by aligning with those popular poltical forces best able to accomplish that result.” Former Governor James )'!udd, of Cali fornia, responded to a toast: “The plain people and their champions,” said in part: “We in the West have your champion, the man that we believe, next to your self”—turning to Mr. Bryan—“has done most for the cause of the American peo ple, the man who in the fight when the traitors deserted you. came to your suc cor and stood an able lieutenant under your orders, the man who fought all his life for a national eight hour law', for an income tax, for education, for national appropriations for schools, the doctrines preached by Bryan and the fathers, tHo man born in our State and a native son, whom we regard as one of the greatest men of the times, Wiplam Randolph Hearst, Congressman-elect for New York.” The ovation tendered Mr. Bryan was tlie most enthusiastic of the evening. He asserted that if there is any one man in the country who has suffered on account of lack of Democratic harmony, he is that man, and charges that it v.as the opposition of alleged Democrats within the ranks oC{ ids party that brought his to defeat in 1890 and 1900. If it is such a serious affair to change party allegiance M’9\ Bryan said, ’'l hope those men will stay out of thr* Dempcjatic party. There can he no harmony between Democrats who carry knives for each other and hate each other. There is a bet tor chance to make Democrats out of the Republicans than cut of Palmer and Buckner Democrats. Mir. Bryan said he did not. propose to take his Democracy from any Demo cratic leader who received his training from Wall street- Mrs. Sherwood Higgs Entertains.

(• "HOW NOITO DO II", l he Report on the tlkins Re bate Bill. -had, Mark, learn and Inwardly Digest it While Trusts Twiddle Fat Fingers at Gulled Public, (By the Associated Press.) Washington, Feb. 12.—The report on the Elkins' Rebate Rill ordered favora bly, reported by the House Committee on Inter-State Commerce yesterday, was filed in the House today by Mr. Maun, of Illinois. “In extensive hearings before your committee upon the general subject of proposed amendments to the Inter-State Commerce law, “the report cites, “it was strongly urged by the members of the Inter-State Commerce Commission that the provision of existing law pro viding for punishment of the railroad itself, prevented the enforcement of tin* law forbidding rebates and discrimina tions. The experience of the Inter-State Commerce Commission has been that it is impossible to obtain proof of the granting of a rebate by the officer of a railroad to some favored shipper unless the officer himself gives the evidence, in which cose he is free from prosecu tion * '• * “The existing law prohibits rebates and discriminations, but does not pre vent the cutting of published rates un less discrimination is shown. In most, cases it is practically impossible to show the discrimination. * * * The effect of such a secret cutting of rates is to place in the hands of a small aggregation of shippers the absolute control of the busi ness, because no person can afford to enter into competition who does not re ceive the cut rates, and no person is in a position to demand or receive such cut rates until after he shall have be come established in business and have an extensive business behind him.” After reviewing provisions of the bill the report says: ‘‘The first and second propositions practically exhaust the power of legisla tion to prevent rebates and discrimina tions through criminal prosecutions. We conceive it to be the desire of Congress to absolutely prevent, if possible, the granting of discriminations in the* way of railroad rates to favored shippers. Tills is by many claimed to be the great est abuse of the day. But we all know that the officers of the railroads who grant rebates, and the officers of die private corporations who solicit and ac cept them, are men of high standing in their respective communities, and that it is a very difficult matter to obtain evidence sufficient to indict them, and still more difficult to obtain judges and juries who will convict them.” The six minority members of the Com mittee on Inter-State and Foreign Com merce, Representatives Shackelford, Davey, Adamson, Ryan, Davis and Rich ardson, of Alabama, also filed their views. After saying that they do not oppose the hill as reported, and that it will not afford much relief, they add: “The hill reported is not nearly so far reaching and remedial as the Littlefield Bill, which a few days ago pasf*d ’his House on a roll call by unanimovfc vote. In debate on the Littlefield Bill "it kvas freely predicted that it would never be come a law, and it was openly charged that its passage in this house was mere ly for the sinister purpose of beguiling and deluding the people into the belief that the dominant party was willing to enact legislation limiting the evils of monopoly. Since the passage of the hill the public' press from day to day has teemed with uncon trad ie ted announce - merits that the Littlefield Bill is to be thrust aside and the Elkins' Bill and the Nelson publicity amendment sub stituted therefor, and that no other or further anti-trust legislation is to he enacted. Such a course would lie to jest with the country upon the most solemn question of the day, and to tritle with the most serious interests of the people. 11 the Littlefield Dill was meii torous when it passed this House a few days ago, it is meritorous now. It does not in any manner conflict with the pro visions of the Elkins' Rill now reported from this committee.” The minority proposes that the bill ho amended by adding the principal features of the Littlefield Bill.
