launched to offuot the Inltucnce of the
Catholic party mid certain "lilnh church
men," whose object, the piotnolcrs of the
new movement decline, li "the Intro
duction of a hind of Catholicism foreign
to its genius, Its Inptltiitlonn and Its Inws
Into tho l'rotestnnt Kplieopal Church."
Doctor Upjohn Joined with sevcrnl other
Episcopal clergymen, well known us
"high ehuroh " lenders In this city, In
BBflcrtlnsr that no fear Is felt that the
organization which Is proposed would
have a wldo effect that mlKht lend to oe
rlous complications at the next Cloneral
Convention. Neither he nor other clergy
men hero knows nnvthlnK of tho rumor
thnt "high churchmen" propose to hold
a conference to dlmirss the probable In
fluence the new inoenient would have,
whloh hns orlRlnaled In New York since
tho recent ennferenlo In that city of the
"low churchmen "
"It's like a tempest In a teaput," enld
Doctor Upjohn when further discussing
tho movement "The leaders In the motii
ment nra slmplv klcklni? luminal the
pricks, for divine truth will picvall. I
don't think tho movement will amount lo
anythlnir. nnd I don't think there Is miv
dancer of it cnuslni; a split In the gauoral
convention Of com so, It has all grown
out of the controversy over the numliii,'
of delegates from tho Hoard of Missions
to tho I'nnama conference, hut th.it hns
been made a tempest In n teapot, too.
It has been a blK fuss about nothing.
"TIIUTH WILL PREVAIL"
''Such conditions have como up from
time to tlmo for years; thnt Is contro
versies between tho extremes In ono di
rection nnd tho other und those w ho de
sire to keep on In the mlddlu path And 1
suppose they always will nilse. How
ever, the truth will prevail. Theie will
always bo found those who iru to either
extreme. We always have had them, anil
they are to ho expected In an orUnnl.illoii
such ns ours "
Doctor Upjohn related come ctperlenees
during the IU years ho hns been an Epis
copalian clergyman, showing that the dif
ferences that arose In the genei.il con
ventions usually passed away without
causing any gie.it trouble, and the usual
courso was followed without Interrup
tion. "Wo need have mi fear," continued the
voteran rcptor, 'bee.iuso the dividing line
Is the truo way and tho great bud of
the Church will follow It. Of cnursi. It
Is to be regretted. Harm is bound to
como to some extent. Dut the whole
trouble Is that mountains have bem made
out of mole hills. The discussing of the
Panama delegates before the Board of
Missions was ill-advised. It was also poor
business. Hut there Is no ncid of contin
uing the discussion and making a big fuss
about nothing now."
NO CHANCE OF NEW ClIl'HI'H
Asked If there was any piobabilltv
that an Amei(can Catholic Church would
be tho outcome of the contioveis, Doctor
Upjohn smiled, and said he had no idea
that any such thing would occui.
"I don't know what tho leadeis pro
poso to do In the new movement, and
I do not care to discuss their plnrih until
I know what the,y nre," ho said "I
haven't been lot Into tho .secret. I do
not think there Is any likelihood of the
Catholic Club taking uny action in the
matter. Wo nre not alarmed, and for
tho present are following President Wil
son's, policy of 'watchful waiting'"
Tho Catholic Club will meet net Mon
day In St Mark's Parish House, but that
Is tho monthly meeting and It not called
for tho purpose of considering tho new
movement.
Tho Itov. Chailca Samuel Hutchinson,
rector of St Clement's Church, said ho
had heard nothing of any step3 being
taken to offset the Inlluenco of tho now
movement.
"I have heard nothing about any such
movement and havo not been approached
concerning it." ho said. "No, I am not
In tho slightest degreo worried by the
movement Wo aro going along at St
Clement'B ns we havo been for 10 jears
and shall continue In the same way for
40 years' more. I suppose."
Tho llev. Archibald Campbell Knowles,
recior or mi Aiuan'ti unuicn, oincy. re
fused at first to bo Interviewed on the
subject, but finally mado this statement
"Tho church has always had its dis
turbers of tho peace. Thoso exploiting
tho so-called movement seem to be tak
ing themselves too seriously. Some of
them have been prettj well around the
circle, changing their religious views. It
may seem llko an Invidious criticism, but

Philadelphia, Pa., February 3, 1916.
To the users of antSiracite coal
The Anthracite Coal Strike Commission, appointed by (thc
President, to inquire into labor conditions in the anthracite region,
and "to endeavor to establish the relations between the employers
and wage workers upon a just and permanent basis, made an
award which, with minor modifications and considerable addi
tional concessions to the w;igc workers at subsequent conferences,
is still in force. The last agreement, signed on May 20, Vlt,
expires on March 31, 1916.
The miners are now demanding substantial concessions,
entailing such additional burdens upon, the operation of our mines
that wc deem it our duty to frankly and fully lay before the public
the problem which confronts us a problem which will ultimately
affect every user of anthracite coal. The demand for 20 increase
in wages, alone, will in the aggregate bring about an increase in
(he cost of anthracite coal lo consumers exceeding Twenty-three
million dollars a year.
The operation of the anthracite mines of Pennsylvania repre
sents an investment of upwards of $275,000,000 in plant and
' equipment, in addition to the value of the coal lands leased by the
operators.
Mining, though carried on by the most scientific irfethods,
yields an exceedingly small return upon the actual capital invested,
and while it is to be freely admitted that certain mines, worked
under peculiarly favorable conditions, yield liberal profits it is
equally true that many anthracite mines, the product of which is
needed by the public, arc at present cither operated at no profit, or
with so narrow a margin of profit that it is a matter of indifference
to the operator whether or not they continue to be operated.
The average returns are entirely loo small to meet the in
creased cost of additional compensation to miners, or substantial
changes in conditions of employment, without a consequent in
crease in the price of coal to the consumer.
We believe that the users of anthracite coal are vitally inter
ested in the readjustment on April 1, 1916, of the relations between
the operators and the miners. We propose to acquaint anthracite
coal users with the vital conditions of the industry, as well as with
the social and working conditions of the army of 1S0,000 employes,
engaged in the operation of the mines.
Because of the extraordinary industrial conditions caused by
the European war, which causes have in no degree benefited the
anthracite industry the price of labor has rapidly advanced. A
determined effort will be made by the miners to secure increased
wages which would be unexpected and unwarranted in ordinary
times. Such demands, if granted, would place a heavy and per
manent burden upon every user of anthracite coal.
Wc have conceived it to be our duty to inform the users of
anthracite coal of the state of affairs, in order that an enlightened
public sentiment may operate to fairly adjust the conditions, whi h
will arise, and which must be discussed and determined within the
next few weeks.
If, after such presentation, the users of anthracite coal say it
is our duty to make a large advance in the income of the miners
and others employed in thr industry, and are prepared to meet
the advanced cost by paying a higher price for coal, now is the
time to say so, and we can meet the issue on that basis, but if the
anthracite coal-using public is opposed to such concessions its
voice should be plainly heard.
The coal operators desire lo deal justly with their employes,
granting every fair request, but they also deem it their duty to
protect the coal-consuming public and to conserve its interest,
just as they propose to protect, so far as they are able, their own
interests.
We believe that our employes are entitled to receive reason
able wages to meet living conditions, comparable with wages paid
in other similar lines of industry, where equal chances for steady
employment are offered, provided our employes are willing to
co-operate, with their energy and thrift, in securing reasonable
efficiency; and that the operators are entitled to receive a reason
able return on their investment, because in this way only can the
necessary capital be secured to develop the mines for the increasing
public necessities; and we also believe that the consumer should
be able to buy his coal at the lowest possible price after these con
ditions are met.
It is in this spirit that the coal operators approach this vital
problem, and they ask fair consideration, by the coal-consuming
public, of such facts as will be presented to them, in the belief that
this intelligent consideration will insure an equitable adjustment
of the approaching negotiations.
