The presence of little girls on the

Mrs. AV. B. Duggan. agent for the

to take steps to keep these little girls

Mrs. Duggan claims that the girls lu
their eagerness to sell the papers make

TELLS WHAT WOULD
BE SATISFACTORY
National Head of the Miners' Or
ganization Points Out How the
Operators Would Be Gnlners by
Recognizing- the Union nnd Effect
ing nn Explicit Agreement as to
Wages and Other Teims of Work.
Nothing Now to Obligate the Men
to Continue Work The Notice
Posted at Collieries Saturday.
President John Mitchell, of the t 'lil
ted Mine Workers of America, arrived
here yesterday afternoon from Indian
apolis on tho S.SS Delaware. Lackawan
na and Western train, and slopped off
for n day before proceeding to the
Hnzlctou convention. He was accom
panied by his secretary, Miss Kllabeth
Morris, who was with him during ths
big strike last fall, and who will 111
ns stenographer of tho seciet sessions
of tho convention.
Mr. Mitchell spent the afternoon and
last night in conference with the local
labor leaders at the St. chillies. Dis
trict President T. J. Nlcholls. Secre
tary John T. Dempsey, National Or
ganizer Fred Ditcher, Organizer Bolnrt
N. Courtiight, "Mother" Jones and
Martin D. Flaherty, president of the
Central Labor union, were among
those who conferred with him.
Ho had expected to pass upon some
allegations that were being made
against certain of the local olllcers by
a Sunday paper, but as the paper yes
terday declared Its unreadiness to
prove Its charges, Mr. Mitchell Is dis
posed to Ignore the matter. His Inten
tion last night was too leave for Ha
zlcton this afternoon at 4.2." o'clock.
To a Tribune reporter who called
upon hliu last evening Mr. Mitchell
suld the bare statement attributed to
him by a despatch from Indianapolis,
to the effect that the posting of no
tlces was not satisfactory, did not con
vey the full truth.
MFAN MtVH OB 1.1TTLK.
"That may mean much or It may
mean little," Mr. Mitchell went on to
say. "In my judgment the proper way
to adjust wages nifd Insure uninter
rupted work Is by annual conferences.
There Is no good reason why the oper
ators should not confer with us and
there are many good reasons why
they should. Last fall they put forth
the excuse thnt the men were not rep
resented by the Mine Workers' union.
That excuse, they must admit, no
longer holds good, for no one better
than they knows that practically every
man In the region who Is eligible to
membership Is now enrolled In the
Mln Workers' union.
' The operators make the charge
that strikes arc more frequent now
than ever before. I do not admit this
to be true, but If It was true. It would
be only natural. Before being organ
ized the men did not feel the cimlldenee
and strength that comes from union.
Now they realize their strength nnd
It may be that they ai" prone to us-i-crt
it. If they were rootrained by
some specllle agieement. such as we
want the operators to cuter Into, the
men would be obliged to do certain
things before striking, and theio would
be an end to petty nnd sudden strikes,
such as It Is alleged are frequently
occurring.
"For installer. If a crowd of dilvers
at some colliery had a gilevance they
would not tuin out to enforce a re
drws of that gilevance, but realizing
that their olllcers were authorized to
ileal lor them with their employers,
they would restrain themselves and
leave the adjustment of the dispute
to their olllcers. If there was nn
agreement between th" organization
and the operntors th organization
would see to It that that agreement
was not violated by the men, At pres
ent the 1 'nlted Mine Workers are un
der no obligation to keep the men at
work, and. without breaking faith,
could order a strike every month. The
operators ought to realize this and so
that It Is to their ndvnntage to deal
with the union."

line not admitting it In so many
words. Mr. Nlcholls clearly demon
strated that he docs not expect any
operators at the conference.
Ho sent them each a telegram aiU
lug them If they would confer, and
followed this up with n letter Inviting
them to confer. He received some re
sponses, but they contained nothing
dednlto as to whether or not the In
vitation would be ncceptcd.

a comparison of this with the present
law shows a number of change.
From numeious articles tho entire
tax has been lifted, while in other In
stances It has been considerably light
ened. One of the most material
changes Is in the taxing of tobacco,
cIriiis and cigarettes. Tobacco for
merly taxed at 32 cents a pound Is
now subject to a 20 per cent, discount,
which brings the revenue doVn to u
tax of ! n..i cents. Cigars formerly
taxed at $1.00 a thotiKiiud aie now sub
ject to but $3 n thousand. In all caps
where Ihe weight Is over three pounds.
On the small clgais and cigarettes
weighing less their Is a tax of IS cents
per pound, as compared to a former
loventte of $I.r,o a thousand on paper
cigarettes and Jl a thousand on the
snull cigars. The beer tax Is cut
down from t! to SI per batrel. The
former was, however, subject to a 710
per cent, discount, wheieas the pies
ent Is subject to none.
The tax Is taken off articles tn
"f-ehedule B." which Includes medi
cines of nil hinds. The revenue on
wines which are Included In this cate
gory is. however, continued, 1 cent and
2 cents on pint and quart bottles. It
Is also removed from all documentary
articles, except deeds of high denomi
nations. It has been the law to tax
deeds fifty cents for every $.'00. tmder
the new schedule, however, the tax be
gins with a 2.", cent stump for any sum
from $2.:.n to $3,000. A 25 cent addi
tional tax Is icqulicd for every jr.00
over till".
The stamps are also ictnoved from
all Insurance papers and telegrams
and exptess packages. The tax Is con
tinued on Height, bltllnid and pool
tables, rubbers, theatres, nnd other
taxable subjects. Fvery bunk must
continue paying on Its enpltsllzpil slock
and surplus.
