No Increased Cost to the Consumer, No Embrtrassment to the Mine Owner President Bncr's Principal Arguments Met Efforts of a prom, inent business Man to So Justice to Both Sides to the Controversy. Plan by Which Ho, Would End the Present Struggle. "Miles of literature have been spun since the coal strike was Inaugurated seventeen weeks ago," said a well known business man yesterday to a Tribune man. "Acres of white paper," ho continued, "have been spoiled with denunciation and dia tribe fioiu both sides to the con troversy hut few, If any, practical sug gestions have been made as to how the miners und the operators might settle their differences and restore peace and prosperity to themselves and the community. ".Somehow the Impression Is nbrond that In resisting the 'demands of the men tho mine owners are actuated by mere obstlnncy; that they arc wilfully deaf to advice nnd Impervious to rea son; that their one great object Is to destroy the organization of the United Mine Workers by starving Its member's Into submission but such suspicions are not founded In common sense; they are far-fetched because there Is not one Iota of any published statement oft any representative of the mine owners' to justify such n conclusion. "To believe some current llternture one must regard President Baer singly and alone as the onl,y obstacle to a. speedy settlement of the coal strike. 1 "To credit the news from-the other side and to not know the man, one must suspect John Mitchell ns an am bitious young man who Is leading a cause which he believed to have been lost before It was begun. Neither side is wholly right; neither wholly wrong. BOTH SIDES OF THE STRIKE. "I believe that the contending forces have a sufficiency of the strike and that a better understanding by each of tho rights of the other Is all that Is neces sary to bring to a speedy termination the unpleasantness now existing. In the published statements of President Baer there does not appear any denial of any lawful right to which the mine worker Is entitled. Now it President Mitchell will proclaim. the legal right of the mine owners to operate their mines in every lawful manner, includ ing the right to employ and discharge men for cause, with assent to members of the United Mine workers to resume their former positions I believe it would be a matter of only a very short time until a substantial readjustment of con ditions and wages is made in favor of the men. "It seems to be a foregone conclu sion that this will be a very long strike, unless the mine workers return to work on the basis of unconditional surrender. And in doing so I candidly believe that no sacrifice of principle would bo made and much good would bo almost cer tain to follow. Let mo offer some rea soning for my conclusions. In the lir.st place, employers, like other people, aie not in the best condition to be liberal when business Is not prosperous. As Is well known tho schedule of prices for coal takes 50 cents per ton off the win ter price on the first day of April In each year. This reduced price rfses through the month of April. On the first days of May, June, July, August and September the price Is advanced ten cents per ton, and tho price is then fixed for the seven months from Sept. 1 to April 1. It is thus evident that when the strike was declared coal was after selling for a month at the lowest price of tho year, and at the time the operations ceased only one advance of ten cents had been made. GOOD TIME FOR SUSPENSION. "With coal selling In May at 40 cents per ton less than the winter prices Is there not good reason for the mine owners to prefer a suspension of oper ations rather than submit to demands which would result in great loss be sides possible ruin to many individual operators. It Is an easy mutter to offer plans and methods for the con duct of another's business. Let tho result be success or failure, the pro moter mny win, but cannot lose. "Usually the fellow who Is most pro line In suggestions for spending tho capital of another has very little to show for tho wisdom applied to his own business. All parties concerned might as well face tho question square ly, and tho sooner tho better. Neither corporations nor individuals can afford to conduct any kind of business at a loss for any great length of time and every employer must have a liberal margin of prollt to conduct his affairs successfully and to provide against pos sible losses, accidents, wear and tear and the thousand and one Items of expense that cannot be calculated on tho cost of the product. The mlno owners' profit at the end of a year is very often formed in tho good fortune he has had In escape from costly ac cidents. So I think it must bo admit ted that the coal operator Is entitled to some prollt on his output of coal ns well as his chance of escape from ac cidents! NO SACRIFICE OF PRINCIPLE. "I have stated that no saciillco of principle would result from an uncon ditional surrender- of tho men nt this time. My reasons for this statement are based on tho presumption that prosperity makes nil men liberal, and I have commence that tho mlno owners aro not different from employers In other lines of trade nnd commerce, There Is a beautiful precedent thnt gives a basis for this rensonlng In the action of tho United States Steel cor poration In the case of theAmulgu mated Steel Workers, when the latter, after a long and bitter contest, were vanquished and overthrown, returned to work, wero most handsomely treat ed to a voluntary advunce In wages by their high-minded victors, and today they aro enjoying the fiults for which they fought and lost. Ho, too, 1 be lleve thnt If tho mine workeis return to work, local grievances will bo ad. Justed. When, tho mines uro put nto successful operation, some of the heavy losses resulting from tho strike aro met und a period of prosperity Is entered upon, the mine woikers muy expect treatment blmtlar to that received by the Amalgamated Steel Workers. "In this connection I venture to sug t,?St a plan for compromise on tho fol. low'ng basis; noirlnnlnr. .Tnti 1 inni .... j.. a ;.,o -..,,, , Vv, Ull UtlYUIIWU of ten per cent, be udded to tho wuges of every mine worker for the months i JOEH School Yoar Begins Tomorrow Register at once and have your Lesson hour assigned. Class and Private instruction. J. ALFRED PEHNINGTON, Director. 604 LINDEN STREET of January, February and March. To April wages no addition fpr the reason that April coal will be sold at 50 cents per ton off tho winter prices. For May- coal an advance of 10 cents per ton being mado to tho selling price, tho mine worker to got the benefit of this In an addition of 2 per cent, to his wages, In Juno an additional 2 per cent., In July 2 per cent, in August 2 per cent., nnd in September 2 per cent., making the addition in September 10 per cent., and this lo rcmnin every month until April following, when the 10 per cent, would again be taken off and mado up nt the rate of 2 per cent, per month until tho 10 per cent. Is again reached, and so continue. WOULD SEEM EQUITABLE. "If the coal operators can afford to do this the plan would seem to be most' equitable and the mlno workers would be getting the full benefit of the winter prices on coal. When It Is known that this advance of f0 cents per ton ap plies only to prepared sizes, or sizes above pea coal, which average only about 60 per cent, of the output, and also that anthracite coal Is sold at the mines on the basis of Co per cent, of tidewater prices, it will be readily seen that the mine worker, receives all that comes from the advance on winter coal." PHILLIPS NOMINATED. He Is the Candidate of the Demo crats of the Second Legis lative District. The Democrats of tho Second legis lative district, at a convention held at the St. Charles hotel yesterday after noon, nominated Fred J. Phillips, com mon councilman of the Eleventh ward, as their candidate for legislature In that district. He had no opposition, tho candidate having been selected at a meeting of Democratic leaders Monday evening, when John C. Itoche was in duced to retire from the contest. J. F. Hammes, chairman of the dis trict standing committee, called tho convention to order, and Edward J. McNally wa3 elected secretary. The credentials of the delegates were re ceived and the roll of the convention prepared. The chairman appointed a committee on resolutions consisting of John J. Fahey, Sheriff C. II. Schadt and Mar tin Cnddcn, nnd the temporary organi zation was then made permanent. Tho report of the committee on resolutions was read by Mr. Fahey and adopted. They condemned tho Republican party endorsed the Democratic state candi dates and concluded ns follows: Wo sympathize with tho miners In their efforts to proeuro more favorable treat ment from their employers. We earnestly hope that a basis of settlement mny soon be found which will amicably ndjust nil differences and avoid future conflicts. Tho pence, wclfaro nnd prospeiity of the country depend upon harmonious rela tions existing between thoso who hire and thoo who fell labor. Tho necessities of all forms of industrial and commercial enterprises acknowledge that a primary condition of social contentment nnd busi ness activity is that capital and labor shall wotk In concert and for cacli others advantage, Chairman Hammes asked for nomina tions for tho legislature, and Mnrtln Cadden presented tho name of Fred J. Phillips. That was the only nomina tion, and on motion of Martin Fer guson, of the Thirteenth ward, Mr. Phillips was chosen by acclamation. Ho thanked tho delegates and then said: "If elected I promise to do everything I can to help tho Democrat ic party." "Not forgetting tho miners," amend- i Martin Ferguson, of tho Thirteenth .ard. "Of course," answered Phillips. m i Maitland Fair, September 10-19. You will want to take In this fair, tho best one In seven years.

T, Huckett, Broker, y SETTLEMENT OP THE DEAN-H0WELL CASES The Equity, Conslpracy and Orphans Court Proceedings Are Satis factorily Compromised. The legal proceedings brought by Mrs. Jennie Howell-Denn against her brother, Franklin Howell, wero ended yesterday at a meeting of the parties and their attorneys In the law offices of O'Brien & Martin. On this week's equity list appeared the case In which' Mrs. Dean sought to compel her brother to make an ac counting with reference to certain property their father had left to them, Franklin being named as the trustee. It was alleged by Mrs. Dean In her bill that her brother had squandered up wards of $150,000 that belonged to her. These charges were denied by Mr. Howell, Then there was a conspiracy case In which Mrs. Dean sued to re cover damages fiom her brother and Thomas Bevan who she charged with Inspiring the lunacy proceedings against her, Pioceedlngs were also pending in the orphans court where Mrs. Dean filed 117 exceptions to the report of Franklin Howell as tho executor of his father'3 estate. In view of the unpleasant disclosures that would follow a public trial of any of these cases the parties got together and compiomised their differences In a way that Is highly satisfactory to both sides and puts un end to the unplensant Incidents that have followed so thickly In the train of the sensational marriage of Mrs. Dean. Mr. Howell was represented at the settlement by Attorney M. J. Martin and Mrs. Dean by Attorneys I. H. Burns and Layton Shock. A DOUBLE ATTRACTION. Shooting Match and Base Ball Game for Saturday.
