ANSWER OP THE
INDEPENDENTS
MAKE JOINT REPLY TO STATE
MENTS OP MINERS.
Declaration of the Plaintiff Answer
ed Seriatim and with More Detail
Than by Big Companies Miner
Can Make Big Wages If He Chooses
to Exercise Ills Option to Work a
Reasonable Number of Hours,
Miners' Union Is Charged with
Many Grevlous Offenses.
Appended Is the Joint answer to the
miners' statement by the Independent
operators or the Lackawanna nnd
Wyoming regions:
Seinnton, Ph., Nov. fi, 100.:.
To the Anthracite Coal Sliilte Coinmln-
slou.
Ueiitlemcn: We beg to submit the un
swer of the Indenoniletit operators of the
1 iiiicknwnmui and Wyoming region to tho
demand of our employes for a higher rate
of wages and shorter hours. To tlielr de
tnnnd for a uniform Increase ot ") per
cent, for contract miners, and nn equiva
lent Increase to all other help employed,
In tho way of shorter hours, we affirm
tlmt the scale of wages now In force Is
such ns to enable the diligent and skill
ful miner to earn more per hour than any
class of labor, skilled or unskilled, em
ployed In tho cities and towns wherein
our mines are located.
Previous to the advent of the Vnlon of
Mine Workers", tho hours of labor and the
number of ears produced per shift, was
optional with the miner, and his dally
or annual earnings were entirely under
his own control and varied with his Idea
of the proper standard of living. Since
the advent of tho union of miners, tho
hours of his labor have remained entirely
optional with lilm, allowing him to work
as few hours as ho may sec lit, restricting
him only to a certain number of enrs to
bo sent out in any one day. AVo assert,
and It is our purpose to prove to the en
tire satisfaction, we believe, of your hon
orable commission, that 'the rate of wages
now paid per hour to the contract miner.
If ho is diligent and Indiwtrlous Is greater
than that paid to any skilled or un
skilled labor In the cities and towns In
which lie lives, and are sufilelently ample
to furnish him means not only to educate
Ids children and live as becomes nn
American, but also to enable him to lay
by sufficient means to support himself In
his old age.
If we are successful In the presentation
of facts and figures to your honorable
commission which will substantiate our
contention' we believe that the rate of
wages paid, and the hours worked should
not be disturbed.
A'o herewith answer In detail the state
ments presented by the miners to your
honorable commission:
Not a Fact.
First The present rale of wages Is
much lower than the rate of wages paid
in Hie bituminous coal fields for substan
tially similar work;
This Is not u statement of fact. The
earnings per hour of the anthracite miner
are. greater than the earnings per hour
of the bituminous miner as can be shown
by comparison.
Second The piesont rale of wages is
lower than Is paid in other occupations
requiring equal skill and training.
Jn presenting our answer to this state
ment Jt is difficult for obvious reasons,
to determine upon any class of labor
which is suitable for purposes of compari
son: notwithstanding Hint It requires less
preparatory training to qualify u man to
be a licensed miner than is required in
any of the other .skilled trades. Despite
this condition it will be shown by com
parison that the earnings of the miner per
hour equals and In most cases exceeds tho
wages of the skilled workman In other
branches of trade in tills vicinity.
Third The average annual earnings in
tlm anthracite coal fields are much less
than the uveiuge annual earnings in the
bituminous coal fields for substantially
similar work.
Tills statement is praUlcnlly answered
by our reply to the first demiind. Prom
the fact that the miner controls his own
tlmo of employment, Hie equitable way lo
arrive at his wages, is to consider the
number of amirs he works per day which,
as wu have stated, is entirely within his
own control. We believe that we can
show to the satisfueti .1 of your honor
able commission, that based on thu ac
tual number of hours worked by the
miner in any one year, his annual earn
ings are greater than the annual earn
ings of the miner in tho bituminous field
for tlm same number of hours.
Fourth The nverago annual earnings in
tlie anthracite coal fields arc much less
than the nverago annual earnings for oc
cupation requiring equal skill and train
ing. To answer this statement we beg to call
the attention of your honorable commis
sion, to that which we have nlready
stated Willi regard to the amount of
time which tho miner puts In at his work.
As we havo .ald, the miner controls ab
solutely his own time. The rato of witgrs
ho Is paid is high nnd whether his bulked
earnings for a year aro larger or smaller
than those of occupations requiring equal
skill and training Is a condition for which
tho time the miner Is willing to devote to
his work is responsible, and for which
tho operator In no wlso can bo held to ac
count. Statement Misleading.
Fifth Tho into of wages In the authra
cite coal fields Is Insufficient to com
pensate tho mini) workers In view of tlio
dangerous cliiuacler of thu occupation,
In relation to accidents, the liability lo
permanent disease, the big death rate,
and the short trade life incident to this
employment.
AVo submit that this statement is mis.
leading and incorrect, (a) Tho rate of
wages paid in tho iiuthraclto fields Is com
mensurate with the danger of the occupa
tlou,
tion in moreover miicn Higher than
urn ram in wages pain in oinor occupa
tions which statistics conclusively provo
aro more hazardous, (b) So far ns tho
deleterious effect of co.il work on tho
general health of tho miner Is concerned,
wo beg lo sumblt a pnper herewith at
tached (exhibit A) which Is signed by a
number of mlueis employed at a certain
colliery In this city,
(lleiu Is inserted tho petition circulated
by tho Sloan miners In the interests of u
candldatu for mine Inspector hi which it
Is shown that to of tho 'X signers worked
at tho mine for twenty years or over,
twenty for forty years or over and five
lor fifty years or over.)
Sixth Tho annual earnings of tho mluo
workers uio Insufficient to maintain tho
Ameileau t'tiindard of living.
Wo have already shown wherein tho
miner himself controls entirely tho num
ber of hours which ho shall work, und so
directly tho bulked earnings which ho re
ceives per day or month. Moreover wo
claim, and have stated, that tho oppor
tunity Is nffoidcd tho miner to earn suf
ficient wages lo edueatn his childicu. lay
usldo a provision for his old ago, and livo
meanwhile according to iho American
standard. If, with these conditions ob
taining Iho miner does not live according
to the customary American standard, wo
believe It fair to assume that tho man
ner of Ids living Is that which he elects
as his own standard. Tho high piano of
American living Is diia cntliely to tho
thrift, Industry and economy ot tho groat
uiuss of American people,
Seventh Tho Ineieused cost of living
has made It Impossible to maintain it fair
standard of life upon tho basis of present
wuges, nuil bus not only pi evented tho
mluo workers from securing any benefit
from Increased prosperity, but bus inudo
their condition poorer nn account of It.
In answering this statement, wo beg lo

CROGAN WAS ONE
TOO MANY FOR HIM
Sharp Ruse of Keen-Eyed Young
Man to Cash n Bad Check Didn't
Result Successfully.
Secretary James Crogan, of the
Lackawanna Urewlng company, was
alone in tlm office of that concern at
Monsey avenue und Poplar street, yes
terday afternoon about 5 o'clock when
a keen-eyed young man In his shirt
sleeves und with a pen behind his ear
stepped hurriedly In.
"Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Crogan,"
hi said, "but I'm from the Klot's
Throwing company. Mr. Kilgour wants
to pay off a few of hlsi hands and bo's
short of money. He wants you to cash
this $35 cheek for him."
The keen-eyed young man handed
over a check for Mr. Crogun's inspec
tion as he said this. The chock was
drawn on the First National bank and
was made payable to the Lackawanna
Brewing company. It was signed by
George Klots, secretary of the Throw
ing company and looked regular enough
but Mr. Crogan's susplcionswere arous
ed. "The bookkeeper Isn't In," he said,
"but if you call around about 5.30
o'clock I'll see If I can't snch It."
The young man went out and then
Mr. Crogan began to think that maybe
he was wrong In suspecting anything.
The Klot's Throwing company's estab
lishment adjoins the brewery and the
fact that the fellow looked as It ho
just stepped out of the office made
tilings appear all right. He called up
Mr. Kilgour, the superintendent, and
was informed that be had sent no check
to be cushed and that he knew no one
answering the description of the young
man.
At 5.30 o'clock the slick young man
again put in an appearance and was
bareheaded und in his shirt sleeves as
at first.
"I've come after the money," he said.
"Mr. Kilgour says he didn't give you
any cheek to wish," said Mr. Crogan as
lie edged over towards the door In the
office railing.
The keen-eyed young man grew pale.
"Oh, yes, he did. Yes, he did. Come
right over with me and see for your
self," and the next minute he hud
vanished and was lost In the exterior
darkness.
The police have been furnished with
a description of him. He is described
as being about ft feet 10 inches tall with
black hair and moustache and as being
especially intelligent and bright look
ing. OPTIONS SECURED.
Choice of Two Plots for Site for New
Schools Reason Why More
Land Is Required.
AV. .J. Welsh, of tho special commit
tee appointed by the school board to
negotiate for additional land for the
now high school, secured options yes
terday on the two plots adjoining the
proposed site, the old Home for the
Friendless plot on Adams avenue.
The plot to the north is ninety feet
In front by one hundred and fifty feet
deep and extends to the corner. The
one on the south Is 80x150. The com
mittee Is disposed to recommend the
purchase of the northerly plot as It Is
the larger, is on a corner nnd will cost
only $1,000 more than the other. The
options are for about $10,000.
In the opinion ot the board it Is ab
solutely necessary to secure additional
land as the plans for the Smith Manu
al Training school, which Is to bo on
the same plot, demand morn land than
was at first supposed.
If both schools were built on the
present plot they would bo so close to
gether that one side of each building
would be deprived of the light so nec
essary to school rooms, and besides
tho high school would have to be built
with Its end Instead of Its front fac
ing the street. By fronting the high
school on the street, sufllclent room
will be secured In thu rear for thu
steam beating plant which is to sup
ply the two new buildings, the present
High school and the No. 33 building.
Unless this arrangement Is made a
separate lot will havo to be purchased
for the steam plant.
DESTROYED BY FIRE.

The line residence; of J. B. Birtloy, in
side foreman at tho Pancoast colliery,
located on tho Olypbnnt road in Throop

The origin of the lire Is unknown, and
owing to tho Inadequate fire protection

HELD IN $1000 BAIL.
Williams, the Directory Man, Must
Answer to Charge of Sending
Scurrilous Postal Cards.
John E. Williams', publisher of the
AVlllIums city directory, was yesterday
held in $1,000 ball by United Slates
Commissioner George D. Taylor, to
answer in court to the charge of send
ing scurrilous postal cards through the
United States mails.
A bearing was conducted In the com
missioner's office in the afternoon, at
which Postolfice Inspector Gorman ap
peared for the government, while for
mer Judge J. AV. Carpenter represented
Mr. Williams.
The postal card, which Williams Is
alleged to have sent through the mails,
was a printed one and referred to the
rival directory which has been issued
by AA'. F. Smytbe. It refers to Judge
Archbald's opinion when lie granted an
injunction restraining Smytbe from
Issuing a directory last year, mention
ing that directory ns having been pir
ated from the AVllllams' directory.
The question arose at yesterday's hear
ing as to whether the postal merelfc
quoted Judge Arcbbald as saying that
the directory was a piracy, or as to
whether the opinion to that effect ex
pressed was not merely the view of the
person sending the cards through the
mails. Judgo Carpenter, while not ad
mitting that Williams sent the cards,
contended that Judge Archbald's opin
ion was merely quoted, but the com
missioner took the opposite view and
would not agree to discharge the de-
rendant on that ground.
The defense then sought to prove that
Williams bad not sent the cards. Mar
shall Preston and Friend G. Cavell,
employed in the job room where the
cards were printed, were sworn, but
could not remember who had furnished
the copy for the cards. The copy itself
was offered in evidence, but they could
not identify the handwriting. Attorney
C. S. Woodruff, who has done legal
work for AVllllams, swore- that the
handwriting or the copy furnished the
printers was not AVilliaiiis' writing.
Francis G. Itarrlck, proprietor of The
Seneca, where AVllllams boarded, sworo
that he (Williams) was out of the city
between January 27 and March 7, ot this
year. The postal cards were mailed last
February.
