PLUMMER AGAINST LABOR f
Miners' Legislative Committee Convicts Him
of Duplicity.
lie Deliberately Blocked Legislation Favorable to
Workingmen, Repeatedly Violated Mis Pledges,
and His Friends Boisterously Applauded the
! Epithet, "The Miners Be Damned.'
The official report of the legislative
committee of the United Mine Workers
for the Serond district of this state
covering the session of the legislature
of 1H0B, would tnske exceedingly Inter
sating as well as peculiarly appropri
ate campaign literature at this time.
At s convention for the district held in
Altoona In 1904 certain legislation of
Interest nnd advantage to miners was
outlined and endorsed. A committee
consisting of Edward Fisher, James
Hamilton nnd Georgo It. Parks was
named hy the convention to present
the proposed legislation and urge its
favorable consideration. The report
In question Is the official account of
their labors, experiences and opera
tions in Harrlsburg.
The proposed legislation consisted
of three measures, the hope of the pas
sago of which has long bwn cherished
hy the miners not only of that dis
trict but In all parts of the state. 1 y
were respectively an employers' I a
blllty bill, a bill providing for the ex
amination of mine superrlntendents,
foremen and miners, and a bill for the
appointment of a commission to re
vise the mining laws generally. The
miners had been promised all these
measures and the committee of the
Second district entered upon their dut
ies serenely confident of success. They
knew exactly what they wanted, pre
cisely how to convey their thoughts
to others and had the Industry and
persistence necessary to achieve re
sult. Failure of Fond Expectations.
But the gentlemen of the committee
toon realized that their fond expecta
tions were destined to be disappoint
ed. The machine managers sitting In
the seclusion of the Hoas mansion were
serving the corporations rather than
the people and promptly issued orders
for the defeat of all the bills. They
were not to be executed In a brutal
manner. It Is true. On the contrary,
the greatest delicacy was to bo exer
rlsed In the operation and the Influ
ential gentlemen of the committee
wee to be "Jollied" along in the most
soothing manner. The committee
worked night and day snd argued In
cessantly while the legislators listen
1 attentively and professed the deep
est interest In the subject. But the in
terest was not In the passage of the
measures. It was In the defeat of
them without betraying the purpose
in ndvance of the event. In other
words the scheme was to kill the pro
posed legislation while professing
sympathy for the policies expressed
In the liicR.-.ur.'s. it was to fool all the
miners all the time.
Two of the bills, that for the ex
amination of mine superrlntendents
and foremen and that for the revision
of the mining laws carried appropria
tions and having been referred to tho
committee of which J. I.ee Flu miner
was chairman, that gentleman receiv
ed most of their attention. IIu was
profuse in assurances of friendliness
but never reported any progress with
the work. Finally tho reasons of fail
ure In this respect were revealed In
an accidental way. Representative
Smith, of Indiana county, had beeu
urgent for tho bills at various times
and at a meeting of the commltte im
portuned with unusual ferver where
upon Chairman I'luniiuer rebuked him
sharply and threatened his legislative
interests. This so Incensed Smith
that he left the room.
Rupert of the Committee.
The olllelul report of the miners'
committee is Blgued by Messrs. Fish
er and Hamilton and is voluminous
and explicit In part It says:
"March 28. Up to this date nono of
our bills hns been reported from tho
several committees, but ever since we
submitted them to their care we have
used every effort and every posniblo
means we could think of In urging
their consideration In order that they
might be presented before the house.
iho liability bill had another hear
ing today. National Secretary Treas
Kmr Wllsnr spoke in behalf of the
BUI and showed the necessity for tho
passage of such a bill. The house hav
ing an afternoon session all further
fna0r g..n th9 b111 was Postponed un
o . Tlle committee reconvened
h u, opposition to tho
lability bill was again given a hear
ing. ' When the hearing was finished the
committee went Into executive ses
sion. Many of the committee were not
present when ths vote was taken to
have the bill sent to the house. The
J"""011 Jn Present was lost by two
votes. The bill was then referred to a
'p-ppmmlttee for the purpose of con
sidering It and referring It to the com
mittee again on Thursday.
'March 29. Coulton informed your
committee that McWhlnney had walr
!? ,h,rln on the other three bills,
ialmlng that the commission bill

J still in the hands of the appropria
tions committee.
Plummer Suggests a Corrupt Bargain.
"March 30. Your committee recelv
?. tn information from Representa
tives Boulton and Smith that Plum
per, ths chairman of the approprla
S?" committee, WOULD GIST TUB

"This Representative Smith, of In
diana, and lloiilton, of Clearfield, had
refused to do up to this time. Smith,
of Indiana, accompanied your commit
tee Just before the house convened
this afternoon to see Plummcr, and en
deavor to get the bill out of committee.
At tlrst we could get no satisfaction.
Finally llrother Hamilton informed
I'lummer t hat he understood that he,
riummer, was aspiring for the nomi
nation, nnd that if he was successful
In seeming the nomination and in
tended to run for state, treasurer at the
next election, that his attitude In con
nection with our bills would not entitle
him to expert any support from t tin
miners of District No. 2 or the work
ers throughout t he state. I'lummer
then promised to give the bill his care
ful attention at the earliest opportun
ity." Plummer't Attitude Toward Labor
Interests.
The report continues: "In harmony
with the statement made at the com
mencement of our report, we desire
to present a more detailed statement
In connection with the attitude of
I'lummer in the treatment of our bills.
We stated that one of the reasons we
had In view In presenting our report
was that the friends of labor and Its
enemies, botJi open and concealed,
should bo unveiled for the future bene
fit of all concerned, Imth to those who
mliUit bo sent in the capacity of leg
islative committees to Harrlsburg and
to the voter who might Inquire for the
record of any candidate serving at
present as representative, and who
might Benin solicit their suffrage In
electing nlm to some elective otllce.
"Representative I'lummer Is aspir
ing for the oII'k u of state treasurer, one
of the most Important offices within
the gift of the people of this common
wealth. This office should only be Ail
ed by men of the most sterling worth
and character. He must by all means
be clean and honest, pure snd open and
above board. In all his dealings.
"As Mr. I'lummer was the chairman
of the appropriations committee, he
was the principal member of this com
mittee with whom your committee
came In contact In looking after the
measures submitted to the care of the
appropriations committee. Whether
I'lummer voiced the sentiments of the
majority of the committee In the ma
jority of the Interviews with us or not
wo are unable to say, or whether his
expressions and attitude were Individ
ual and simply his own personal ex
pressions. "His expressions, according to yotir
committee, were not considered as
friendly to the legislation submitted
by tho miners. That he was not open
and above board your committee
thinks the statement already made in
connection with his offer to Represen
tatives Smith and Uoulton, offering
them to give this bill submitted to his
committee consideration If they would
support one of tho most rotten meas
ures presented to the legislature, a
measure so unfair that it had already
been vetoed twice by the governor,
who gave as one of his reasons for ve
toing it that It was not necessary, and
thus created a means for a useless ex
penditure of money.

"To substantiate our reasons for
staling th:: we ilid not believe that

him to III! the capacity of a represen

tive but he was not a representative

interests In which the following sum
mary review of our dealings with him
while at Harrlsburg, and a few cita
tions from tho conversations brought
out during our Interviews will prove:
'During one of our conversations af
ter the commission bill had passed tho
house on second reading and had been
referred to tho committee on appro
priations, the failure on the part of
this committee in reporting any bills
until on or about tho 21st of March,
your committee, as before stated, real
izing the importance of getting tho bill
out at the earliest possible moment,
sought to tie every effort to accom
plish this purpose. Wo were Informed
that our bill would be presented in
the order in which it was received,
that this was the rule.
Plummcr Discriminated Against
Miners.
"We did not wish to deviate from
any established ru'e. even If It wore
possible lor us to persuade the com
mittee to do to. it' this was their
method or doing business uild they
followed it out uuliiased, wo consid
ered their method fair; but FOR
SOMK I1KASON UNKNOWN TO US
FLUMMKIl WOULD NOT LET TIIK

THE COMMITTEE. We demanded au
explanutiou from I'lummer for his at
titude in connection with refusing to
allow this bill to come before bis com
mittee, and thus blocking it from coin
ing before the house.
"HE PROMISED TO GIVE IT CON

I'o this Mr. Smith replied that he con
sidered the coal miners needed protec
tion; that it was a craft fraught with
great danger, both to health and life
of thoso engaged In this particular in
dustry. The miners demanded this
legislation, and In his opinion wore in
a position. Bhould It become necessary,
to take care of themselves and got
their demands enforced In the futuro.
The actions of Plummer were so
biased that Mr. Smith left the com
mittee room in disgust with Pium
mer's attitude. "MR. SMITH CLOS

journed for the present week.
Plummer Is Unfriendly te Labor.
"After the house reconvened and
tho bill wub not reported by Plum
per's committee, we came to tho con
clusion that it was a continuation of
his old policy of evasion. We then de
termined to get utter some of the Re
publican politicians who were consid
ered to bo Piummer's superiors in t tin
party. They also elicited a promise
lroui him that ho would take action on
the bill Immediately. He delayed this
until the time was too short to g 't R
througli the s:iiuto.
"PLUM M ICR'S W HOLE ATTITUDE
IN CONNECTION WITH THIS KILL
WAS ONK OF EVASION AND UN

"Your committee would be charit
able to all men, and in rendering this
report it Is not our desire to present

has a right to his individual opinion,
and your committee would honor every
man who renders an expression of his

he did not coincide with us In all our

Plummer Afjalnst the Liability Bill
Also.
On April 3 the house again recon
vened. When the time came for the
presentation of resolutions, Represen
tative Schofleld presented the follow
ing resolution:
" 'Resolved, That house bill known
as the general liability bill be taken
out of tne IiuikIh ol the Judiciary com
mittee and coiuu before the house as
a committee ol the whole.' "
"Roth Scolield and Garner mad a
lengthy and very able speeches in
favor of the bill and the resolution.
Garner named the judiciary commit
tee the 'legislative graveyard.' it is
needless to say, with the antagonism
shown by those who were antagonistic
to the bill and the methods used by
those who were representatives of Die
entire people in the practice of their
retarding policy, wlih the evidence
submitted, that the bill was over
whelmingly defeated. The vote stood
14 tor placing the bill on the house
calendar and 111 against.
Influential Outsiders Appealed To.
"On April 4 wo Interviewed Smith
and lloiilton and they interviewed
I'lummer and secured the promise
from Pliimiuer, as previously stated.
"April 5 Still no report from tho
committee, but we were assured that
it would be reported out that night
before the house convened. Evening
again came, with Piummer's promise
unfulfilled.
"April i llrother Hamilton went to
Captain Delaney and asked him if he
could not do something to get the bill
out. Delaney slated Hint there was
but one cftanee left. Ho would see
Durham.
"April 7 Delaney reported that ho
had seen Durham and Durham had no
tided I'lummer to discontinue his op
ixisltlon to the bill. This Plummer
promised to do, stating, however, that
it was impossible to report before
Mondny morning.
"Your committee, realizing that the
session was too far expended to en
courage any possible hope of getting
the bill through the senate and to con
tinue staying In Harrlsburg, whpn, In
the estimation of your committee, the
purpose of our mission could not bo
accomplished at this session, was only
a needless expenditure of time and
money, left for home."
I PLUMMER HAS NO CLAIM
Life-Long Republican Denounces the
I Republican Candidate For State
Treasurer As a Toady of
the Gang.
(Robert J. Bolton In Philadelphia
I Public Ledger.)
I The writer hns voted the Republl
' ran ticket on national questions for 40
' years, and for about 25 years has just
as conscientiously voted against tho
various lilies and gangs who have
steadily robbed this city and state as
a corrupt and criminal combination
masquerading under the stolen namo
of tho Republican party. The time for
which ho has long hoped now seems to
be coming; a bright ray of light la
shining ahead, and to win, all that is
needed Is Individual effort and con
' centrated energy.
While the City Party Is mainly In
terested In the city offices, still the
writer fails to see any reason why any
voter who prefers purity In city affairs
should vote for corruption in state af
fairs by supporting for state treasurer
that toady of the gang, Plummer, who
was forced upon the party by the Pen
rose gang solely as a reward for his
conduct In the state legislature.
! Plummer has no more right to the
support of any Republican who owns
himself than has the stool pigeon tick
et concocted by Durham, McNIchol,
Lane, Martin and the rest of the de
spicable gang who have brought the
once-honored party of Lincoln In
Philadelphia down to be a reproach
throughout the length and breadth of
the United States. Mayor Berry, of

Baby WsC
Unless she is a healthy mother. No
woman ran. If the baby has drained
her vitality; if its care is a lax; if, in
short, the fiaby is a burden instead of a
blessing, bow can she enjoy it? She
loves it, but idle cannot feed it. She
yeimm fur it, but has not the strength
: to fondle it.
I There is nothing more beautiful in the
world than a healthy mother and her
healthy child. The madonna i the
highest reach of human art. In the
r.erene strength which art gives to the
typical mother ami child there is distinct
, denial of suffering and weakness as a
; necessity of motherhood. Rut how few
women are there to whom motherhood
is naturally an abiding joy. In how
many cases a woman dates ner loss oi
health from the birth of her child ! To
all such suffering women Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription comes as a veritable
' god-send. It prepares the mother for
j her hour of trial, trumjuilizes her nerves,
; encourages her appetite, and brings her
I restful sleep. It makes the baby's ad
vent practically painless, and pives the
mother abundant strength to nurse and
nourish her child.
ICvery claim made for "Favorite Pre
scription " is supported by the testimon
ials of wives ami mothers, thousands in
miniler, and covering in their several
experiences the whole range of womanly
siHicring. In a great number of cases
after the utter failure of all doctors and
medicines, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription, tried as a last resort, has ef
fected a jierfect and permanent cure.
Sick women are invited to consult Dr.
Fierce by letter free. All womanly con
fidences held under the seal of strict
professional privacy. Address Dr. R. V.
Pierce, Uuffalo, N. Y.
There is no alcohol in " Favorite Pre
scription" and it is entirely free from
opium, cocaine, and all other narcotics.
Between Life and Death,
"I think Dr. I'trrce's Pavnritc Prescription
mid 'Golden Mrdicnl Dtucovery1 the best med
icine in the world," writes Mn. Amelia Dough
erty, of Kerrigan, Wayne Co., Mo. " My baby
waa lioru last summer. After baby came I lie
cntue ill, had the best physician thnt could be
got, and be diagnosed my cae as uterine trouble
tending to dropsy. Medicine seemed to do m
no Kxd; I lingered between life and death for
quite a while, every day growing weaker, until
I could not walk across the room. Mv frienda
were looking for my death every minute. A
friend wrote and told me about Dr. R. V. Pierce,
and I at once wrtite to him for medical advice.
He replied immediately, giving me full inhtruc
tions as to what to do. 1 at once followed his
advice, and when I had taken his medicine
sttKjut n week I felt ft good deal stronger. When
I hud taken it about one month I felt ns strong
as I do to-duy. 1 took four bottles of each kind
and two vi'ala of ' pleasant pellets.' Many
thanks for the medicine. It has cured me per
manently." Gained 40 Pounds,
I am very glad to let other poor sufferer!
know what Ir. Pierce'a medicines have done
fir me," writes Mrs. Kdwin H. Carduer, of
lleechwofwl, Norfolk Co., Masa., Box 70. "You
know I wrote to you last summer. X read what
your medicine had done for other people, so
thought I would try it, nnd I found that is was n
ble-.sin j to me and my family. I began in Jun
anil took six tiottles of your medicine, and tnrec
vials of ' Pellets.' 1 took your medicine a year
when I had a ten pound girl. I had the easiest
time I ever had with any of tny three children.
I have been very well since 1 look your medi
cine, t took three bottles of ' Favorite Prescrip
tion,' three of ' Colden Medicat Iiscovcry,' and
three vials of ' pellets.' I had no appetite and
could not eat much without it distressing me
before l took your 1 favorite Prescription ' and I
only weighed 1J5 pounds. Now 1 weigh 175
pounds."
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets commend
themselves as a family laxative. They
are easy to take, effective in results, and
their use does not beget the pill habit.
GOOD ADVICE.
Take a daily bath the tempera
ture of the body ; do not use the
cold plunge without a physician's
advice.
Sleep eight hours out of each
twenty-four.
Sleep 011 the right side and have
a window open.
Do not place the bed in in alcove
or too close to the wall ; see that it
is 111 a position to receive plenty of
fresh air without being right in a
draught.
Spend as much time as possible
out of doors, and take soofe little
exercise before breakfast.
Eat very little meat, but have
that well cooked.
Resulutely throw aside all bothers
and perplexities before retiring
never go to b:d directly after work
ing hard at night. Try to take
some little relaxatiou before the
regular bed hour.
I,earn the possibilities of and the
limitations to ycur strength, and
never do more than can be accom
plished without over fatigue.
Avoid wrinkling the brows or
screwing up the eyes when think
ing or in a glare such contortions
of countenance are unnecessary and
extremely unbecoming.
Keep the body in good physical
conditiou, with strict regard for
diet, bathing and exercise.
Do not try all the "cures " and
fancies suggested by friends until
you have found Iroiu your physi
cian whether such treatment will
bcuefit your particular case. Few
people suffer from exactly the same
yiuptomj.
To Fight Ta'i Jsj Scale
A Systomelic Campaign to be Waged for the
Suppression ol the Pest
State Zoologist .Surface has plan
ned a systematic campaign for the
suppression of the San Jose scale.
Kxperts will be sent into tvery
locality in which there is any evi
dence ol the pest with a .'praying
apparatus to show how to apply the
insecticides known to be tlfective
in suppressing scale. The campaign
will open on November ist, on
which date there will be meetings
iu the court houses of the worst
infecUtl c. litres, at which experts
will be present and give talks to
Iruit growers on S in Jose scale and
kindred posts. At these meetings
the experts will examine all twigs,
leaves and fruits brought to deter
mine what pesls may be present
and to loam iu what part of the
various counties the scale exists.
I'ioiii these meetings the experts
twenty in number w ill go at
once to the distticts in which there
is known to be scale and give prac
tical demonstrations of how to fight
it. The records of the Zoology
Bureau show that the only counties
in which there is no evidence of
scale are Duller, Clinton, Cameron,
Columbia. Clarion, Elk, Forest,
Green, Indiana, Jefferson, Law
rence, McKean, Monroe, Montour,
Pike, Po'ter, Snydtr, Susquehanna,
Tioga, Warren, Washington,
Wiyne and Sullivan. Zoologist
Surface has said that before the
bureau began fighting scale in Penn
sylvania there were only seven
counties in which there was no evi
dence, and that he was confident it
tree growers and others followed
the instructions of the experts who
are about to be sent among them
they will scon get rid of the scale.
The experts have been instructed
to report at State College on Octo
ber 1 6th for two weeks' special in
struction in orchard culture, care of
trees and the destruction of pests.
The expenses of this campaign will
be paid out of the appropriation of
$.30,000 made by the last legisla
ture for the suppression of scale.
