BEIDLEMAN WINS DOCKAGECASEFOR UPPEREND MINERS Verdicts For Pay For Three Docked by Susquehanna Coal Company Senator E. K. Beidleman won his suit in the Dauphin county court in befialf of three miners against the Susquehanna Coal Company which it was charged illegally withheld pay from the miners for coal mined at the Williamstown 'Colliery. The case was brought under tle mine dockage act and has been watched by miners all over the state with keen interest as it involves radical differences between the miners and the companies as to Bay. The miners. Harvey Kinsey and James C. Miller and Edward Miller are awarded verdicts in the sum of more than S3OO, representing money deducted from their pay under a system of dockage used by the com pany in violation of the provisions of the dockage law. which provides that pay for coal be reckoned at the mouth of the mine, instead of a more or less distant breaker. The company admitted the dock age claimed' but held that the court did not have jurisdiction in view of a contract entered into between the companies and the mine union in 1903 by the provisions of which disputes of the kind were to be set tled by appeal to the Board of Medi ation. Testimony in court showed that where miners' tickets of credit were lost from cars on the way from the mine to the breaker the com pany took the coal and the miners got nothing. The company also held that the miners having signed re ceipts "paid in full'' were there fore not entitled to contest their own signatures, but Senator Beidleman drew attention to the fact that print ed on the top of the receipt was a clause to the effect that miners might settle disputed amounts "after pay day." The company admitted also that it had refused to keep tally at the mine mouth as required by the dockage act. The constitutionality of the law was not questioned but the court re served for decision at a later date the question of jurisdiction and of the application of the provisions of the act to the Susquehanna com pany. The verdicts rendered to-day were $139 for Kinsey and $159.60 for the others. When the dockage act was before the Legislature, Senator Beidleman as its' sponsor, expressed confidence in its constitutionality and offered to defend it should it ever be ques tioned. He was called into" the oase by the miners of the upper end of the county and after the close of the case was warmly congratulated by a delegation from the union of that district. The Senator cut short his campaign for Lieutenant Governor by three days in order to argue the case befoi-fe the Dauphin county courts. He said to-day that he is prepared to carry the suit to the Supremei court, if necessary, and is confident that the position of the miners will be sustained.

ECHO OF MAURICE LETTER IN PRESS London Morning Post Central Figure in Interesting Situation Ijoiidon —An interesting situation is developing in which "The Morning Post" is the central figure. J. L. Garvin's attack on that newspaper and its military critic. Lieutenant Colonel Repington, In Sunday's issue of "The Observer," of which Wal dorf Astor is the proprietor, seems to have been the opening shot in a lively skirmish. "The Morning Post" evidently intends to stick to its guns and fight until it wins or falls a victim to the censor. The affair is of more than ordin ary interest because "The Morning Post" represents a small, though powerful, group. I 'understand that Colonel Repington is now in disfavor with the government. Garvin's at tack rallied considerable support for "The Post," including several Lib eral organs. No Military Dictator at Hand This sentence from "The Post" "It may not be untimely to remind the public that we have fought throughout the war for certain prin ciples, chief of them being expert direct military direction—that is to say, a free hand for the soldier and sailor," furnishes "The Evening Standard" with a topic for a long editorial upholding the politician.

' tive to supreme civilian control is a military dictatorship, "dominating every department of the national life." In the opinion of "The Standard" the country is not ready for this and it has no military genius to fill the place. It ndds: "We may take it then that the civilian statesman must be the final decision. His busi ness is, of course, to surround him self with the best professional ad visers, to invite their honest judg ment, to be guided by them in all matters in which they are compe tent to advise, and when operations are decided upon, to leave the ex ecution entirely in the hands of an expert. "The War Cabinet, of course, isn't above criticism. But the constitu tion provides a means for criticism of a perfectly effective kind and a means for removing a ministry which has lost the confidence of the nation. , Not Sure Asqultli Is Dead "Asquith's ministry lost that con fidence and disappeared. But it is perfectly Intolerable touchiness that distinguished officers should be ex ploited by prejudiced people to gain political ends. "The war can only be won by good team work on the part of sol diers and politicians, acting not with antagonism' but with loyal co-opera tion." Behind this controversy stand two warring political factions, both of which are anxious to see the victor ious ending of the war, but differing widely in their means of attaining U Unfortunately the Parliamentary debate ending in Lloyd George's victory didn't settle the question. It merely postponed it. That the ministerial press is not satisfied with Lloyd George's victory | is proved by its constant recurrence ! to the Maurice incident. Although I Asqulth proved a heavy liability for j General Maurice, the ministerial j papers are not at all sure he is po- j Utically dead, as they have called j him. In fact, they treat him much ! as a small boy does a firecracker [ which sizzles and then dies, omln- j ously quiet. I return to this subject because . political developments affect the ' course of the war almost as much ; as the operations on the battlefield. During the adjournment of Parlia- ! ment it is hoped that some political j compromise will be reached. TAX RATE INCREASED Waynesboro, Pa., May 19.— The | Waynesboro School Board, at a spe- i cial meeting, decided by an unar.i- j mous vote to increase the School tax 1 rate for this year from eleven and i one-half to thirteen mills.
