CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 190 a. MAY BE ADJUSTED. Operators and Miners to Set tle Their Dispute. An Increase In Wages, a Nine Hour Day and Trade Agreements llr tween the t'ompanles by Whom They are Employed. Seranton, Pa., Nov. 10. —President Mitchell, for the fourth successive day, occupied the witness stand dur ing .the two sessions of the strike commission and was cross examined by three attorneys for as many coal companies. While a considerable amount of information for the en lightenment of the commissioners was brought out, the day was a rath er quiet one, compared with those which have preceded it. The arbitra tors are growing restless in conse quence of the long cross examination which apparently does not bring out the facts as quickly as the commis sion would like to have them. Sever al times during the course of yester day's session. Chairman Gray remind ed the attorneys of the value of time and suggested that cross examination be limited to new features of those questions that have already been gone over. The lawyers assured the com mission that they, too, were anxious to expedite matters, and would do along without injuring their own case. Mr. MacVeagu, who began his cross examination of Mr. Mitchell on Sat urday. concluded at 11 o'clock yester day. The distinguished attorney cen tered most of his energies in trying to break down the miners' reasons for asking for a yearly agreement with the companies on hours of labor, wages and other conditions, which, if made, would be recognition of the union. Mr. Gowan and Mr. Ross questioned Mr. Mitchell principally regarding conditions existing at the collieries of the companies they represent. These questions were more or less technical. Mr. Mitchell's answers, as n rule, differed very little from the reasons given in his preliminary :;tafe ment to the commission for the im proved conditions for the mine work ers. Seranton, Pa.. Nov. 20.—After being on the stand for four and a half days. President Mitchell, of the miners' union, completed his testimony at noon yesterday before the anthracite strike commission. During his ordeal he was examined by his own attor ney, and those of the Erie Company, the Delaware & Hudson, the Dela ware. Lackawanna & Western, the Le high Valley and the Philadelphia & Heading Coal and Iron Co., and also by the attorneys of the independent operators. He was followed on the witness stand by the Rev. Peter Rob erts, D. D., of Mahanoy City, Pa., a Congregational minister, who has studied the anthracite coal industry and has written a book on the sub ject. He was still on the stand when the commission adjourned for the day. One of the most important things brought out during the cross exam ination of President Mitchell yester day was his emphatic declaration that the miners were opposed to separat ing the bituminous miners from the anthracite workers, thus creating two organizations. He made this reply to a question of ex-Congressman Si mon P. Wolverton, counsel for the Heading Company, as to whether it would not be better to have separate organizations. Mr. Mitchell's answer •was that "it would not be possible or desirable. The anthracite mine work ers have had independent organiza tions in the past. They have had sev eral. They have gone. They are not here now, and the men do not want any more of their organizations togo the same way." The non-union men, that is, those •who remained at work during the strike, were made a party to the arbi tration plan yesterday by their coun sel agreeing to make public the names of the men who petitioned the com mission. When the attorneys for the "non-striking" workmen, as Chair man Gray designated them and who number about 2,000, made a demand to the commission for a 20 per cent, increase in wages with no reduction in hours, their attorneys desired to withhold the names of the persons they represented. The commission, however, decided they could not be a party to such a plan of secrecy. In connection with the non-union feature of the investigation, Mr. Mitchell announced that he is also representing thousands of non-union men who struck with the unionists and that all the workmen would abide by the award of tin' arbitrators "or get out of the union." Seranton, l'a., Nov. 21.—The eco nomic and sociological features of the anthracite coal industry and the ef fect employment in and about the mines has upon the health of the mine workers were the principal sub jeets brought before the arbitration committee yesterday by the attor neys for each side of the controversy. While there was an entire ;Asencc of oratory or brilliant cross examination which marked the proceedings during the last few days, the cross examina tion. nevertheless, elosely held the at tention of the commissioners and •they gained much information on the several features touched upon by wit nesses. The afternoon session was particu- A \e%v Fuel. Berlin, \'o». 21.

Three physicians who have practiced in Seranton or Wilkesbarre, took the stand for the miners and in substance testified that the occupa tion of a mine worker was "very un healthful" and shortened his life. One physician, Dr. Frank P. Lenahan, of Wilkesbarre, who says he has hail a long experience among mine workers, testified that fully «J!i per cent, of the men wo work in the mines are anae mic. T -?ir health is impoverished and their g\ eral condition is below par, thus dec, sing their earning powers. The principal illustration offered by the miners, the physicians said, were •tiie miner's asthma, rheumatism, lum bago and sciatica. The miner's asth ma comes from coal dust, powder smoke and vitiated air. John O'Malley, of Seranton. said that at. a post mortem he had seen miners' lungs as black as anthracite itself and Dr. Lenahan testified he had personal knowledge of a man coughing up coal dust nine years after he left, the mines. The cross examination of the liev. Dr. Peter Uolierts, D. D., of Malianoy City, l'a., ended yesterday. Copious extracts from his book were read and placed on record. Ex-Congressman Simon I'. Wolverton, counsel for the Heading Co., read much of the matter pertaining to violence in the 11)00 strike, and also read articles written by Dr. Huberts during the progress of the late contest in which he described in strong language the acts of vio lence, intimidation and boycotting committed during that suspension. His articles spoke of some of these acts as "brutal outrages," and lie also branded the union's action in calling out the steam men in .Tune as "fool hardy." In explaining his articles Dr. Koberts said that he did not wish to infer that the organization was re sponsible for all the lawlessness com mitted. In attempting to show that care lessness of the miners contributes materially to the danger of his occu pation. Chairman Gray interposed with the remark that a margin of carelessness in<*lent to human na.ture must be taken into account when es timating the dangerousness of any hazardous occupation. Seranton, l'a., Nov. 22. —The mine workers, through their representa tives, have agreed with tile mine own | crs to attempt to adjust the differ ences existing between them outside the anthracite coal strike commission. The proposition was .made on a com promise basis and negotiations, it is expected, will be at once entered up on, with a reasonable hope of settle ment with the aid of the arbitrators. The rough proposition, which is to form the basis of negotiations, Ls a 10 per cent, increase in wages, a nine hour day, and trade agreements be- I tween the miners and the company Ijy whom they are employed. The only | one of the four demands not touched ! upon is that, of the weighing of coal by the legal ton. While both sides have expressed the willingness to set tle their differences among them selves, it is otto be construed that it carries with it the acceptance of the terms proposed. They are men tioned only as a basis, it is under stood, from which a settlement is to lie effected. It is possible that the | foundation already laid can be I wrecked by either party holding out j too strongly against some question and thus leave the whole matter in ! the hands of the commissioners, who, ! in the meantime, will act as a sort of a board of conciliation, rather than I as a board of arbitration. few persons were aware that an at tempt would be made at an outside settlement until it was practically so intimated by Judge Gray, the ohair ; man, of the commission, who read a ! carefully prepared announcement ; from the "bench." The move, one of | the most important in the whole liis ' tory of the coal strike, created a mild ■ sensation when it became known. The | surprise was all the greater when it ! will be remembered that numerous ! persons 112 rom the president of the United Stifles down and that many organizations from the national civic i federation to the small boards of trade of the mining towns failed to I bring the two panties together. It |is said-it was all brought about by ! both sides seeing that the proeeed ; ings before the commission would be ; interminable, and that in the inter j mingling of the lawyers for both sides j the outside agreement proposition i was broached and taken up. It is generally believed that the op erators were the first to make the proposition. Wayne MacVeagn, who (carried on such a brilliant cross-ex amination of President Mitchell, is given credit for bringing about the preset*! situation. The commission j ers was Informed of the new turn of i affairs lasit night, and acquiesced in } the proposed arrangement. Clarence S. Harrow, of Chicago, one of Mr. Mitchell's attorneys, brought • the matter out when, near the close of yesterday's session, he suggested that the miners be given a little more 1 time to prepare itheir evidence. In order to give all parties an op portunity to confer on the new state of affairs an adjournment was taken at 12:45 until this morning. It was agreed lust night by the miners' representatives and the at torneys for the coal companies to ask ithe commission to adjourn to-day until Wednesday, December .'I. It is likely the request will be granted. i nki //!.•■i • i. ooo. ! Detroit. Mich.. Nov. 18.—Olbert H. I.aiub, 2f> years of age, who has been cmplo\ <*d K a • • 1«- rI. in A.

Washington, Nov. 22. —The Christian community of the Universal Hrotlier 'hood, at Crowsland, Assiniboa, Can ada, have sought a home In this con if try but have 'been officially notified that the community cannot settle on government domain. The community. represented by Ivan Ponomaren unu others, forwarded a letter to the pres ident asking- for a refuge in the Uni ted States. The letter was referred •to the interior department. Assistant Commissioner lliehards, of the gener al land office, has forwarded a reply announcing that they cannot locate on ithe public la .ds of the United States. Mr. Richards says: "In said letter you state that your community numbers more than 7,000 and that in 1808, and 189!), you emi grated from Russia to Canada because the Russian government would not •permit you to live according to the dictates of your religion. You have discovered that although in Canada there is religious freedom, still it is not what you were in search of: that you yielded obedience only to the commands of the spirit of good, in your hearts, and cannot submit to any human laws or become the sub jects of any sovereign; that you are not compelled to bear arms or per form military service in Canada, but must become subjects of Great Bri tain and therefore you cannot obtain land on which to live without obeying 'all the institutions and laws of Can ada.' You therefore ask that you may be given refuge in this country or on land under the jurisdiction of this government, where you may live by the labor of your bands, and where you 'shall not be forced to obey hu man ordinances or be asked to be come subjects of any one except the good God.' You state that you use no meat or milk, but only vegetables and fruit; that you Jiave no domestic animals and all your work is done by your own labor, and ask only for so much land as you can cultivate by manual labor without the assistance of animals, etc. "In reply 1 have to advise you that the public lands of the United States are disposed of only to citizens of the United States, or to those who have declared their intention to be come such citizens." THE WATER CURE. It Win Administered ton I*hlllppllie Friar Wltli Falul KUW't-A Peculiar Cane* Washington, Nov. 22. —The secre tary of war yesterday sent to the at torney general the papers in the case of Father Augustine who died from the effects of water cure administered by soldiers of a Vermont regiment while serving in tfle "Philippines. The case has been thoroughly investigated by the judge advocate general of the army upon the charges brought by Charles Francis Adams and others of what was known as the Lake George con ference. It cannot be found that any person now serving in the United States army was responsible in any way for the death of the friar, and therefore the persons cannot be tried by court mar tial. It Is expected that following the precedents growing out of other wars the attorney general will ren der an opinion that neither the courts in this country nor those in the Phil ippines have any jurisdiction over the men or officers who have been dis charged from the army. Capt. Hrownell, a volunteer officer who was in command of the troops who administered the water cure, lias acknowledged that the cure was ad ministered and that the man died. INDIAN AFFAIRS. Commissioner Jones' Iteport Advo cate* Agencies Heine Flared Under t'linrge of Superintendents of Train ing Schools* New York, Nov. 22. —Commissioner of Indian Affairs Jones, in his annual report, estimates that, the govern ment from its foundation to„ lsyo spent $845,275,290 in fighting, subdu ing and controlling the Indians of the country, and $240,000,000 for the edu cation and care of their children. The report advocates that agencies and portions of agencies be placed under the charge of bonded superin tendents of training schools, a policy already started wherever practicable, and according to the commissioner, giving better administration than when agencies were under the control of political fanatics. The total cost of the Indian schools during the fiscal year was $3,437,785, or sl3s per cap ita. This a.mouut maintained 249 schools, with an enrollment of 24,434 pupils, and in addition a number of pupils at the Hampton, Ya., institute, and at public schools. Waters HuUrd, Detroit. Mich..

REVIEW OF TRADE. Large Demand for Staple Lines of Merchandise. Iron and Steel Industry la Active-* Heavy Dry Uooda Needa Stlmulu* of Cold Weather ' New York, Nov. 22. R. (J. Dun & Co.'.s weekly review says: Voluntary increases in wages by; some of the largest railway systems in the country bear eloquent testi mony to the amount of business han dled in.the past and emphasize the confidence of officials in continued heavy traffic. Moreover, by this ad dition of large sums 'to the purchas ing power of railway employes there is assurance of a large demand for all staple lines of merchandise. Tem porarily. sales of seasonable lines of wearing apparel are retarded by mild weather, but this loss will be fully made up when low temperature be comes general. Preparations for hol iday trade arc on an ..unprecedented scale, especially at interior points. There is no relief as to the congestion of railway traffic nor any immediate prospect of free movements at the points of most serious blockade. Coal freight is steadily gaining, and ail railway earnings thus far reported for November exceed last year's by 5.9 per cent, and -those of 1900 by 15.9 per cent. Orders are now coming forward for iron and steel products that have been held back many months in ex pectation of an easier market. In stead of making concessions, however, producers ask premiums for early de livery and hesitate to accept con tracts where material and fuel are not in sight. Xo relief is reported as to the movement of coke, nor is anticipated for some time to come. Plans for constructive work are now increasing, and a very large ton nage of structural material will be required. Activity is notable at works making agricultural implements, bolts and kindred lines. Recent reductions in prices of a few of the lighter forms stimulated dealings to a fair degree. Heavy lines of dry goods .and foot wear need the stimulus of cold weather. A fairly steady demand is reported fnr staple cotton goods, but buyers are taking only for immediate requirements. Orders for spring shoes are coming forward freely, and t.liere is supple mentary buying of winter goods on a moderate scale. CUBA'S TRADE. Olllclal Itrport of "Uintntor Squlors llrSHrdlug Our Trade Willi That Island. Washington, Nov. 22. Minister Squid's, at Havana, has forwarded to the state department the official re port of the foreign commerce of Cuba for May and June, 1902 and a state ment of the trade with the United States in .7 line, 1902, as compared with other countries. The minister notes a decrease in the sugar trade for the first six months of 1902, as compared with the same period of 1901. of 143,000 tons. To off set this, however, there is an increase of 315,000 tons held in storage in the ho]>e of better prices. The report shows that Cuba gave to the United States 44 per cent, of her import and 74 per cent, of her export trade. Nearly all of Cuba's fruit and sugar was marketed in the United States last June as well as 5® per cent, of the island's tobacco. The United States almost entirely supplied Cuba with wheat flour, corn, crude oil, coal and meats, with the exception of jerked beef. Spain and Canada supplied large quantities of potatoes, onions, hams and butter, which Minister Squiers says should come from the United States or lie supplied by the home market. The minister says our live stock trade should be increased as the tariff pro visions are favorable and cattlemen prefer American stock. Cuban imports from the United •States for the first six months of 1902 shows a reduction of 12 percent, from the corresponding period of ISS9. Im ports from Spain increased 2 per cent, in the same period. PEACE TREATY. It I* Itpportnd to II ive linen Sinned by .11 In Inter I'eritoino and (inn. Ilorrera, at Panama. Washington.
