The general hnpiession tu-evalls that

This Is article III, .seel Ion :. which
sas: "Any peison may be compelled

committed the offense of bilbery or

to withhold his testimony upon tin
ground lint It may criminate himself
or subjcit him to public infamy, but
such testimony shall not afterwards be
used against him in any judicial pro

such testimony."
Thus It will be seen that Mr. ITnn
had either to answer the questions or
be committed lor contempt' of court.
FATAL COLLISION
ON CAPOUSH AVENUE
Anthony Johnson Was Thrown from
a Wagon nnd Struck His Head
Against the Curb.
Anthony Johnson, of Court street, a
driver in the employ of the Lacka
wanna Urewing company, was thrown
from one of the concern's delivery
wagons Saturday night and received
injuries which resulted in his death
yesterday morning. The accident was
due to the wagon being struck by a
Scrnnton-bound street car, and tho
shock of the collision throwing off
both Johnson and a man named Kelly,
who was sitting beside him on tho
driver's seat. Kelly had one of his
rlba broken and was badly bruised.
Johnson was a man 30 years of age
and is survived by a wife nnd two
children.
About S.ao o'clock Saturday night he
was driving along Canouse avenue.
Tho wheels of his wagon were on the
car tracks, hut tho street was dark
and the motorman of the approaching
car was unable to see what was on
the track. The cur was going at a fair
late and when the motorman did see
the wagon, it was too late to avoid
a collision. Xear the corner of Ash
Mieet and t'apouse avenue, theie was
a terrlile cash, and the ear stiuck
the rear part of this wagon. Johnson
and Kelly were thrown heavily fiom
their seats and Johnson struck his
hPiid against the cuib.
The wagon was badly damaged and
six or seven kegs of beer, which wen
carried, fell from their places. A large
el owe! collected and, npiopos of these
same beer kegs, sad to tell, only two
of them were lerovered.
The two injured men weie carried
Into (Seidell's ding stoie. neaidy, and
at'terwai'ls ti.ken to their homes.
Kelly was lemoved tu bis home in
Oieen Itldge nnd was yesterday ex
amined dy Dr. . W. Smith, li was
loiiud that one of the i ids on his left
sule was fractured, ami that he nns
veiv badly biuWeil.
Dr. S. I I.ongstie.M attended John
son Saturday night. Fiom almost the
outset It was seen that no hopes could
be entei tallied. The collision with the
tuibstoiie hail caused a very severe
contusion of the enthe left side of the
head. There ni no nocture, but the
entire head was In a vry biulsed con
dition, as though battel eel with some
heavy, blunt Instrument. The right
side of the man's bodv was also badly
biulsed and the sixth and seventh
libs were fractured. At no time was
he unconscious, but w.-.s always per
fectly aware of all that was going
on. He suffered great pain, and died
at 4.:0 o'clock yesterday moinlng.
Johnson Is survived by his wife, for
merly Miss Xellle "Weie, and two chll
dicii, John and Joseph, and the fol
lowing brothel s and sisters' Mrs.
Joseph Devers, Mary IMInda, James
and John Johnson, of fteech street.
The arrangements foe tlie funeral
have not yet been completed.

SAYS LEADERS ARE
BITUMINOUS MEN
REV. L. H. WARING GIVES HIS
VIEWS ON THE STRKE.
Ho Said That tho Strikers Arc Un
wise in Following the Stiike Lead
ers Inasmuch as They Are Killing
Their Own Interests by Permitting
tho Bituminous Operators to Secure
tho Anthracite Market Saya That
Thousands Are on Stiike Because
They Were Foiced Out.
Kev. I.ulliur Hess Waring, pastor of
the Evangelical l.uthci.in chinch, in
the course of a sermon delivered In his
hiirch last night on the strike situa
tion, charged the leaders of tho present
si i Ike with delng bituminous men ami
Intimated that they were woiklng for
the Interests of the bituminous opera
tors. Rv. Mr. Waring had other
things to say which Indicate that he
believes the strike is a mistake on the
part of tho men.
He took his text from the epistle ot
St. Paul to the Corinthians vl:l!: "Hear
ye nnothor's burdens, and so fulfill ihe
law of Christ." After speaking for a
few moments in a general way, telling
how few there really are who have
ever felt the need of something and
who have never had to bear a sorrow,
no plunged Into the strike question.
"Let us consider for a few moments,"
said he "tho strike which Is now In our
midst. Let us leave prejudice and pas
sion nt home. Tho strike is not on
trial here. It Is on trial before God.
Some of the Judgments of God arc
given to this world, perhaps one will
be given In this case. Let us first con
sider a few axiomatic principles.
XOT ANTAGONISTIC.
"It must ih st bo understood that
capital and labor are not antagonistic
of themselves. Each is necessary to
tho other. They nre different forms of
energy which must work together or
not nt all. Labor has a legal and moral
right to combine In an organization
and capital has tho same right.
"It must be understood that It Is
neither honest nor honornble for a la
borer to break a legal contract entered
into with his employer, but in the ab
sence of a contract he has the unques
tioned right to quit work If ho so do
sires. "If a man persists In his determina
tion to remain Idle after quitting work
nnd If this remaining idle leaves his
family In need I believe that is not
right. St. Paul says: lf a man will
not work, he shall not eat.' The labor
er ought to be a producer and the man
who lemalns idle is only a burden and
a parasite on ills fellow-men.
"Any niuii has a light to wotk and
also the light to be Idle, but there ,ls
another law which Is generally recog
nized and that Is that no man has any
light to interfere with the work of any
other man. He has absolutely no
moral or legal right to Interfere with
any man engaged In legitimate work.
"In the piesent dash between capi
tal and labor theie aie many differ
ences of opinion. Take the company
doctor grievance, for instance. They
aie piobnbly good things If their ser
vlie Is good and bad things If their
ser Ice Is not good and the men are
foiced Into paying too much for their
services. Hut theie are many com
panies, in fact the majoilty of com
panies, who have no ompaiiy dnetois.
Why should such operators be called
upon to nrhltrjte this gilevance. a
gilouince that doesn t ell between
them and their men.
Till: COMPANY STOItKS.
"Take the company stores. They
have a shady past and many of them
a shady piesent. It Is claimed, ant!
probably with tiutli. that the company
employes aie coeiced Into Hading at
lliein. nnd thai the pilc.es dunged aie
hluh. Milt the majoilly of the com
panies hae no company stoies. This
subject should be settled between those
operatois who have thorn and their
ow n employes.
"The operntois should nut wait foi
the offer of aibltiatlon. If any Just
gilevancesexlst they .should announce
their willingness to lemnve them. Hut
we must leinembei that the oneratois
ate the only ones who know how much
they aie lequhed to chuige for the
coal. We must remember that every
ton of coal which Is mined means one
ton less In the mine, and that the
opeiator has got to take Into consider
ation the fact that it is only a ques
tion of time when the (jal In that
mine will be entliely exhausted.
"lly the time the coal Is exhausted
the operator must have made not
nit i ely the Interest on his Invested
capital, but also the enthe principal,
as the propel ty Is then practically
worthless. I can't see any Just rearon
why theie should be a cast Iron wage
for every part of the anthracite Held.
any mote than that every clerk in the
state of Pennsylvania should iccelve
exactly the same salary.
"Conditions In dllfeicnt pails nre so
dllfeient that It Is ridiculous to talk of
a unlveisal scale. Some mines are near
tlie sin face; some are a thousand feet
deep: some have thin clns, whete the
woik Is bard, anil others have veins
twenty feet thick, where the work Is
easy. All these tilings have got lo be
taken Into account when the men talk
of the s.iine wage for every p:irt of tho
anthracite legion,
"It must be reniembeied that when
coal Is down III price the oneiatom
can't riffm d to pay a big wace. iA-nm
all the figures so f.ir gien publicity,
Krucalily Is the comer-stone in
thn foundation of every fortune.
Never1 attempt to lay without It,
for Ihn work will tome to naught.
Savings Department
TRADERS NATIONAL BANK
Cor. Wyoming nnd Spruce
aders
and from my owir personal knowledge,
I have figured out that the average
net wage paid each miner Is J2.fi0 per
flay, and the average wage paid each
laborer Is $1.R7 n day. There are many
miners shown on the pay-rolls of the
companies whose wages have reached
as much as $r. a day, and laborers
whose 'wages have reached $3 a day.
"The work of the miner is danger
ous and hard, and they deserve good
pay. but when their alleged ground for
a strike Is that they have been re
duced to pemny and want. It Is not
true. There aie men working, I'll ad
mil, who only work live and ten days
a month, but there are sued In every
Industry.
"In every walk of life there is a cer
tain percentage of shiftless, careless,
drinking fellows, who would never bo
better off If they were paid Jlrt a day.
These ate the men who never have a
home and who never know what It Is
to have $100 In the bank. The money
dm ns in their pnckel till they get rid
of It for drink.
"I've deen doing a 11 1 1 lo private
mathematical weak the past few days
and 1 (hid that If all the male member
or this church received the dnlly aver
age wage paid the miner and that If
they were obliged to pay part of this
over by the tithe system, as tho Jews
used to do, we would receive twice
as much ns we do now.
"Then we must take Into the discus
sion the question of the blighting,
blasting, corrupting saloon. Thn sa
loonkeepers will feel tho strike depres
sion less than any other class or busi
ness men. If they feel It at all they'll
ho tho last to reel It and the first to re
cover rrom Its effects.
"It has been proven that there are
In this valley many miners who pay
nioro for beer every month than they
pay for food and clothing. Put tho
saloon out of their lives und God In
nnd the transformation would be glori
ous and complete.
"Arbitration with the great compa
nies Is, I think, possible, If there is
anything reasonable, fair and honest
to arbitrate. I believe as a rule that
the operators are perfectly willing to
arbitrate. If arbitration comes, how
ever, It must come between the em
ployes of each company and that com
pany. The companies can't arbitrate
tho grievances of the employes of oth
ers If they would.
THE EVIL OF IT.
"The present strike Is, in my opin
ion, too much in the hands of the bitu
minous miners and it Is to their ad
vantage to keep the stiike on as long
ns possible. I say it Is very unwise
for the anthracite miner to have men
other than some of themselves at their
head. They must remember that ev
ery customer gained by tho bituminous
operators during this stiike means a
loss to them.
"Let this strike but continue for a
month and It will take the anthracite
legion years to recover from Its ef
fects. Lt the bituminous operators
gain and keep some of tho anthracite
operators' customers and who will suf
fer for It? No one else but the an
thracite miner.
"I think that this wholesale assault
on the life of the community, as this
stiike Is, Is entirely uncalled for, un
just and unwise. You know as well as
I that there aie thousands of miners
out of stiike now who are Idle not
because they want lo be or because
they need to be, but because of Intimi
dation, outers and threats. They aie
afraid to work This is contrary to the
law of God.
"When men do not like the conditions
under which they are woiklng let them
appeal like men to their employers.
They have the liberty to leave their
work if they don't like It and have
nothing more to do with it. Let them
reek sen Ice wheie it is fmore to their
taste and liking. The employer should
ceitalnly help his employe and the em
ploye in return .horrid certainly help
his employer."

MR. KIDI) OF CHICAGO
IS NOW IN THE CITY
Came Heie to Lay a Proposition Be
foie the Convention of Car
penters and Joineis.
The I'nlled 111 olhei hood of Carpen
ters and Joineis will continue holding
their bl-ennlal convention In this city
throughout the week, and Thursday
the last sessions will be held. Yestei -day
utter noon a large number of the
delegates attended the mlueis' mass
mietlng nt Tin nop and several oth
ers visited llket'-l'.ane and were
shown inound the Luzerne city by the
local reception committee.
Satuulay atlernoon the delegates
marched in ihe mliifis' parade, and
Saturday morning regular session was
held fionr S o'clock to 1 o'clock. A
conmill'tee of two tioin the Amalga

have ailsen between the iwo associa
tions. (ieueial Secretary-Treasurer Thomas
I. Kldd, of Chicago, and Organizer
Richard Miunseiag. of the same city,
were the repiescntnllves of the Wood
Workers. It Is the custom ot the two
organizations to send fruternal dele
gates to each others' conventions, and
to theie state their gilevaliees.
In this Instance there was a misun
derstanding existing between the
unions for the following reason: In
some pat Is of the country Ihe Wood
Workers' scale o wages Is not as high
ns that of the eaipenteis and Joiners.
Ill several eases Ihe wood woikeis
have been accused of doing larpenter
woik for ibis reason.
A commit too of which J. H. Miller, of
SI. Louis, a member of the eseclltive
board was chairman, was apnolnivd by
Ihe chair to Inqrriie into Hie matter,
and at Saturday night's conference de
tween tlie lepiesentstlves o the Iwo
unions i verythliig 'was amicably set

illg of Us report and siiggcslid several
minor changes u (lie drmhethood law.
The convention referred the. report daek
to the committee' for several small
(iiuilget. and will formally ncept It to

At today's session Seeretaiy-Tieas-urer

which right is pitted against wrong. The mas

were better to be delivered fiom evil by sheer
foicc of will than to eeape trial. The experi
