It i TIIT5 OMAHA DAILY TIKE: TUESDAY, JANUARY 20. 1003. hn' (Jfuks thin morning contained twenty bills. Two were Nos. 22 and M. the meas lirns carrying appropriations for' the sal srles of the member! snil legislative ex penses, sod of the remaining eighteen ten were measures Introduced by Douglas county members, intruding Gilbert's water works bill, a counterpart of th Howell bill. Crcgg himself Is the author of tlxtren bills already, all along educational tinea, and contemplates Introducing as many more, perhaps. It should be said, however, that iroat of thene bills are Introduced at the request of other parties, alnce Mr. Gregg Is identified with the committee on schools. If s bill inrrcfluced today In the house by Huntr of Webster should find Its way surcemfullf through, the labyrinth cf legis lative proceedings, the state oil Inspector ship will become a thing of the past. De spite the statement- of the present Incum bent of the fldjee,,, that within the last two yeirs his Office has turned bscl: In fess to ths state treasury over $7,000, Mr. Hunter thtuks the office la a sinecure and should bo -abolished. . He thinks tbi tat' can worr along somehow without this ex travagant luxury, ea-Ue- terms It. Such bills are hot common, however, and the advent. of this one today' created no special excitement. ... I.eBlslatlte Gossip. Ths fuslonlst members, of. "whom there re bit twenty-four In the house and four la the aenats, have thus far deported them selves certainly as quiet Tut. Not one has "peeped" In the house up to the pres ent. The ranks of (ha ulnsrlty, however, contain uiue men whose yolces doubtless will be heard on mauy -occasions before the sesaloa Is over. Looroja of Dodge Is the recognized minority leader In the house acd a man v. hp holda -a place among the brainy members. - "Chauncey" Warner of Lancaster will Lave to abdicate from the. prominence he has attained aa the "youngest member of ths house." That dtatinctlon Is claimed and possessed by Perry of Furnas, whose age la 26, while Warner has rounded his twenty-aeventh mile post. , ftrrj doesn't look It, though, while Warner does. But then Warner has never had a speakership race to mar the Ij loom of his youth. . Gregg of Wayno has set a pace and holds the record In the house for the ntroduc. tlon or bills. Of the 157' house rolls, six teen were Introduced by him. And nearly, If not every measure, relates to the statutes governing schools. Mr. Gregg . has been identified with schoola as teacher ana la now on the committee In the house that looks after school affairs. The vexatious problem of who Is the handsomest man in the house Is causing a stir. The honor Is conceded to lie be tween Spurlock of Cass and Douglas of Rock. Both gentlemen are handsome and they are willing to "let It go at that," but come persistent friends want the thing ettled. It happens, however, that good looks Is said to be not the crowning virtue of either man. Both give promise of be coming effective members. FORWARDS WATER WORKS BILL Senate In Committee of the Whole KecoMtrarads Howell Measure (or rassaare. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Jan.. 19. (Bpecial.) Senate We No. 1, by Howell of Douglas, has been approved by the senate aa a committee of the whole and ordered engroaacd for a third reading. This Is a bill to compel the city council of Omaha , to purchase the water werke plant or that city. Senator, Howell made a statement aa to the objocls ol j,ae ji and -Its- contents: He stated Iha, ", both political parties of Oniaha'.'nad, plmjged 'themselves In their platforms at. ths last election to bare the coupclfc purchase tha plant, though nothing had. bee a doae.v "The. bill," be aald. "Is to compel the city council' , to . carry , out the wishes of the people; nd "purchase the water works. At our last. ity election the proposition to purchase. the .' plant, . oarrylng with It . a proposition to bond the city In the sum of 13,000,000 for that purpose, was carried almost unanimously, and It is the wish of the people of Omaha that the city own tta water worka plant." "We nov have the opportunity of pur chasing the plant without paying for the remaining five years' franchise. 'It will mean the saving to the city of Omaha of $175,000 a year, for we are at the present time paying $100,000 for hydrant rent for fire uae. The people of Omaha are oavins 85 cent per 1.000 gallons for water, while the people of Lincoln, the. city owing the plant, pay 15 cents and the city pays noth ing for hydrant rent. This city geta Its entire Are department free of costs, from the revenue derived from the water rent. It la the object of this bill to compel the city council of Omaha to do Ita duty as the people aee it." No one made any objection and the com mittee voted unanimously to recommend to the senate the passage of the bill! Another Rerenne Resolution. Another revenue resolution was intro duced by Harrison of Hall. It provided that the revenue committee of the senate hold itself In readiness to confer with a committee that may or had been appointed by the house, on any revenue measure that may come before It. The object of the res olution, the whereases explained, waa to prevent the-house and senate from working along different lines. Harrison announced that under the rules of the senate the resolution would have to lay over for one day, but If there was no ' objection the senate could pasa It at once. O'Neill promptly objected and aald the senate should have some time to think over the matter and he dealred the measure laid over until tomorrow. Jennings of Thayer seconded O'Neill aud aald he saw very lit tle difference between this resolution and the one proposed Friday and tabled on mo tion of Harrison. The resolution waa then laid over until tomorrow. Senator O'Neill became wrathy while trying to arrange- his senate file and took the floor to protest against the files as fur nished by the scrtary of state. "The peo ple who got up this thing," he said, "surely thought we could stand on pur heads. The business Is always upaide down and a man would bare to spend bait a day to arrange bla bills. Every bill has to be taken out In order to arrange them In nv order and I protest. We are not a company of acro bats." By the ttme the senator from Lan caster got through lambasting the files, a balf doxen aenalora Jumped to their feet and added a tew sixsllng words expressing their opinions. The windup finally came when Dean of Phelps moved that the com mittee of printing call upon the secretary of stste and require him to furnish differ ent files or have those now In the posses sion of the senate fixed so they would be less troublesome. ' Another senator desired to know why the senste bills were not printed in the order they were read. The bills have been coming back to the senate In any old order and this gave rlss to the suspicion that thero was a reason for It. ' President Har rison -announced that the printer had in formed him that In toe future the bills would corns iik In: the order -read. The senate adjourned at 4:15 o'clock until 10 o'clock Tuesday. , - testis Hew tine. President, Pro Tem Harrison called the senate to order at 2 o'clock. Roll call showed all present. During the reading of ths Journal a mes aage was received from, the governor. Ciffia of Dawson waa 11-1 to the chair while Trcsldrnt Harrison offered the fol lowing resolution: Whereas, The state Is now burdened by a float inn llettelnefia far In excess of con stitutional limitations; and Where. The revision of the revenue laws of the state, either whcjly or In part. Is rntl.il to the reduction of said In debtedness and to the further conduct and sdm nltrntl"n of public affairs; and Whereas. The experience of past legisla tive efforts In this direction Indicate that no progress will likely be made during: this session, with each brancli of the legislature working along srparate and Independent lines of thought therefore be It Resolved, That the revenue committee for the senate be and Is hereby directed to hold Itself In readiness to confer and act In conjunction with any committee designated by the house of representatives to act In similar capacity, to the end that such Joint committee, si constituted, msy without de lay tske under consideration all measures submitted to it by either house, looking to effective amendments to the present law, or the entire revision of our revenue sys tem, and 'shall, after due deliberation, promptly report to the respective branches of the "legislature of which It Is a part, recommending for passage such measure or measures as In its wisdom will bring about the desired result. . Senator Harrison announced that under the rules of the senate the resolution would have to l'.e over one day If any seu ator objected to Its adoption. O'Neill of Lancaster and Jennings "of Thayer objected and the resolution went over. First Rill from House. , The chief clerk of the house brought a communication that the bouse had con curred with the senate In regard to printing the messages of the two governors.

Takes 1 Bloat of Time. (From a Staff Correspondent.)' LINCOLN Jan...l9,tSpeclaI.) Barely a quorum was present in the house when it was called to order at 10:30 this morning. Douglas of Rock called .up bla resolution of Friday providing for the election by the house of a committee of seven to draft and introduce a revenue bill within fifteen days. He amended it ao as to give the speaker the power of appointing this com mittee to act jointly with a like committee from the senate. . After Christy of Nemaha had offered an amendment to make the house committee on revenue and taxation the committee to draft this bill, act Jointly with a like com mittee from the senate,' Douglas took oc casion to explain, the wbyfore of his reso lution and amendment, saying he did not wish to take out of the hands of the rev enue and taxation committee anything that properly should come within the scope of Its powers. His object waa to bare a com mittee to look after this Important matter exclusively. i Christy insisted that this waa properly within the province of the revenue and taxation committee's powers and should be delegated to It. Rouso of Hall, Sears of Burt, Wilson of Pawnee, Perry of Furnas and McClay of Lancaster spoke against the Christy amend ment, and the author, with the consent of his second, withdrew the amendment. The house then, by acclamation, adopted the Douglas resolution as amended by the author. In his remarks McClay of Lancaster said he favored a specUl committee for this important work ao that It might not be hljsdered or encumbered with other duties. It waa essential to expedite the Introduc tion of a revenue bill and this could not be done If the matter waa lJft to a regular standing committee, whose hands would be full of other work. ' "We want Immediate action," continued McClay. "The revenue laws of our atate demand prompt and radical change.. Qur atate assessment roil, as it now exists, is Imply a farce. I am la favor of putting all assessable property on the rolls at Ita full value." Seventeen new bills were Introduced and bouse rolls from 125 to 145 read for the second time, after which the house ad journed at noon until 10 a. m. Tuesday. , Ktn -Bills, ... i?1-.

BA L PACT XOt ACCEPTED National League Meets and Votes Iadiridial Sections of Treaty. on TWO CLUBS OPPOSE ALL PROVISIONS Meeting: l.nata Till After Midnight ana May Meet Again In I'hlladelphln When Injanetlon Is Finally Disposed Of. CINCINNATI, O., Jan. 19. After being In session at the Grand hotel here this afternoon and again until late at night, the National Bao Ball league failed to ac cept the proposed pesce agreement. Even If there had been no Injunction issued In anticipation of ratification it Is doubtful If the result would have been different. . The greetings in the hotel lobby when the western and part of the eastern repre sentatives met were not such as usually characterise such occasions. Brush, Von Der-Horet, Knowles and Ebbltts bad been on the same train In conference for twenty four hours, and Soden and Conant arrived but a short time previously. All the others had been In conference and In wailing during the day and when all finally got together, shortly after 3, President Fulliam called them Into his parlor, where, from all accounts, they had plenty to do. Mr. Fulliam bad before htm an opinion from Attorneys Outcault and Foraker as to what could be done while rhe Injunction stood, and It was on the advice of counsel thst they went Into committee of the whole, more to advise etch other than to take any definite action. Counsel la Engaged. ! During the evening recess counsel in Philadelphia was engaged by wire for the hearing ot the Injunction case on Wednes day, and this waa accepted as indicating that Mr. Brush had not yielded to per suasion and dropped the case. It Is now possible the meeting may adjourn to Phila delphia to meet after the court proceed ings. . v - The night session was devoted to con sidering the peace agreement, section by cectlon, and the vote stood 6 to 2 in com mittee of the whole on all ot the first sec tions, to which no opposition had been expected. The New York and Brooklyn clubs said they were not op'posed to those sections except that they were Interwoven In a compact to which they were opposed as a whole. The last two sections apply to territory rights and players, and opposi tion was expected to these sections be cause New York was Included in the Amer ican circuit and because of the players that New York and Brooklyn claim to hRve had taken from them. At midnight no vote bad been taken on either of these sections and it is doubtful If any vote will be reached during the night. There was some doubt as to how Boston would vote on those sections. President Robinson said the league ought to have completed its work in thirty minutes and endorsed such men as were In the new ownership ot the Cincinnati club. He and other western members greatly regretted the situation. , Among those ln the hotel lobby were: CaDtaln Donovan of the St. ' Louis team, Business Manager Frank Bancroft of the Cincinnati team, Buck Ewlng, former man ager of the Cincinnati team; Robert L. Hedges ot the St. Louis American club, and George Stalllngs, manager of the Buffaro club. President Pulllam denies the report that he will resign his present position to be come the bead of the new Philadelphia plub when It Is secured by the Dreyfus syndicate, which Includes, W. Kesley 8choepf ' of Cincinnati and Hugh J. Mc Oowan of Indianapolis. Change Made in Minutes. Before approving the minutes of the meeting last month In New York a cor rection was made, substituting the name of John T. Brush for that of John I. Rogers as the author of the resolution tinder which tho peace committee waa appointed. Mr. Pulllam then read a letter from John I. Rogers of the Philadelphia club, pro testing, against the signing of Delehanty by the New York club. Before the report of the conference com mittee was submitted Mr. Herrmann read a telegram from the directors of the West ern league urging that the agreement be tween the National and American league be ratified In the interest of the game. The report ot the conference committee, which waa signed by Harry C. Pulllam, August Herrmann, Frank DeHass Roblson and Jamea A. Hart, was submitted by Chairman Herrmann. The report rehearsed the negotiations leading up to the Cincinnati meeting and related In detail the agreement there ar rived at and since riven to the public. The report continued: Your committee unanimously recommends that aald agreement be ratified by the league. We believe that In doing so the National league and American Association ot Professional Bum Ball cluba will make a move that will be more lasting, more beneficial and will meet with more gen eral approval than any action that has been taken for some time and will cer tainly be In strict accord with the objects of our association, as net forth In our con stitution. . Will Fight Injunction. , ' A motion by Roblson, seconded by Flelschman, then prevailed to take up con sideration of the joint agreement trans mitted with the Herrmann report section by section, and general discussion fol lowed. Before taking a recess for dinner the committee ot the whole arose and the league adopted a resolution offered by A. Herrmann, authorizing the employment ot counsel to look after the league'a Interests in the Injunction case. VAN BRUNT FOR SAME CIRCUIT Hnmors Are Current, However, of Compromise en Milwaukee and Knnsas City. KANSAS CITY, Jan. 18 (Special Tele grain.) The Western league will meet In executive session here tomorrow with a full representation, and upon the action taken by the. magnates depends much of the future of the organisation. President M. 11. Sexton, T. II. Burns and Q. F. Sim mons arrived In the city Sunday and they were Joined by D. C. Packard and R. R. Burke today. Late this afternoon J. J. Barton, W. T. Van Brunt's lieutenant, ar rived, with word from the chief that he will be unable to attend. While it Is not known, it Is thought that the message from Van Brunt contained Instructions to keep the circuit as It Is now. Oosslp waa started by the arrival ot Ueorge Tebeau, It being believed that a plan was on foot to arrange a compromise upon the Kansas City snd Milwaukee situa tion. This was denied, but there Is cir cumstantial evidence which points to such negotiations. W. W. Sears of Des Moines. W. A. Rourks of Omaha and Hugh Duffy are ex pected early tomorrow morning. President Sexton aaid tonight that so far ss ne anew tne circuit would remain uu chinned, but that some changes In ths constitution were proposed. In spesklng of his handling two leagues, be said that It the Western demanded his entire attention he would probably resign from the leader- snip ot tbe lhree-1 organisation.

Mr. Mitchell was greeted with cheers that lasted five minutes. He spoke rapidly and waa frequently Interrupted. Gives Praise to Women. He aald: I am not vain enftnh to believe that this splendid welcome In a personal tribute to me. In all great movements of this world the calcium light falls more bril liantly on some than on others, but the credit for the settlement of the great an thruiite coal strike belongs not to me, but to the women and children who suffered bitter privations for live months In the coal Melds that their husbands and fathers might stand firm to the cause of Justice. 1 can hardly discuss the matters now In the hands of the strike comenl slon. It would he liko a man discussing his own case while it Is in court, but 1 have an ahldlntf faith In thr tribunal which has In hand the settlement of our trouble. It was not so much tho strike of the miners against the owners as it was the strike of the railroad presidents against the American people. 1 am one of those who believe in the people. Your fellow townsman, Mr. Parry, fropheled that while there would be a arge crowd here tonight,- there would be no property owners. 1 would not do him an Injustice, for I know him quite well and he may not be correctly quoted, but I do not consider property as a mttlcient measure of good citizenship. I do nut Imagine that all the money Morgan pos sesses could make a man. Why should a man like Mr. Parry oppose the organiza tion of labor? He himself la president of the National Manufacturers association; he Is Its walklna- delegate; manufacturers, wholesalers, preachers and suloonmen have their organizations; surely no one would deny us worklngmen the same rights as the whisky dealers. Labor Will Take Privileges. Iabor will take sdvantage of every priv ilege capital does; if capital organizes, labor will: If csDital consolidates, labor will: labor merely follows In the footsteps of Its partner, capital. But there Is still a difference. The labor organization Is a democracy, pure and simple. The Individual vote of every mem ber se.ttks every question. Organized labor stands for more and nlgner wages, it would -take the breaker boy out of the mines and put him In school. I found little bovs and atrls who should have been play ing In the school yards bearing the heaviest responsibilities In the mines. Lrfibor is not always rignt. it nns done many foolish things. It has been Its own worst enemy. I am not one of those who consider it wise or Just to denounce capita Not gne of us is poor from choice. iDor must do Its share to elevate Its Indlvtdual members. I shall be glad if out of thi anthracite strike new relations arise be tween labor and capital. Then wll our country be prepared to enter upon Its new and greater life. Mine Workers in Session. INDIANAPOLIS, Ird., Jan. 19. The United Mine Workers' fourteenth annual convention opened in Tcmllason hall today When Mr. Mitchell arrived there were over 600 delegates present, who gave blm a rousing ovation. "W. B. Wilson, the secretary, read tho call and the committee oh crendentlals made ita report. Tbe committee on rules and the general order of business was ap pointed, with instructions to report at once. Many delegates who were present were not reported on favorably, as the locals they- represented had not paid all tbe as sessmcnts made against them. Cn motion of Delegate Dempeey It was voted to seat al delegates whose locals were not in arrears for more than two months of 1902. Tbe question arose over the anthracite workers. On account of the long strike many of the locatohad not been able to pay their assessments. The committee on rules and order ot business reported that the same rules aa those reported laat year would be the rules of tbe convention. Addresses were delivered by 'several presidenta ot unions, and committees were appointed on Scale, grievances and con stitution. Mr. Mitchell will submit bla leport to morrow morning and will be followed by Secretary-Treasurer WlUon, after which the auditing committee will make Its re port WOULD BAR ALL OUTSIDERS Mine Superintendent Gives Strike Commission Ills Views on I'nloas. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 19. The exami nation of Colonel D. A. Phillips of Scran- ton, general superintendent of the mining department of the Delaware, Lackawanna ft Western railroad, took up the greater part of today's session of tbe strike com mission. Superintendent Phillips told of the con dition in and about the collieries owned by the Lackawanna company. Like aome of tbe other superintendents be believed the men bad a right to organize If they wanted to, but no ptrson who wss not employed by tbe company had a right to come In and tell the men what Ihey should do. Tbe growing want of Interest In the pro ceedings of the commission was strikingly illustrated today. There were eighteen spectators present, more than halt ot wbcm were witnesses. Of tbe twenty-five lawyers representing tbe coal company, only five were In attendance and only one of tbe nine attorneya for ths miners waa on band when ths proceedings began. Colonel R. A. Phillips, general superin tendent of the department of mining ot the Delaware, Lackawanna ft Western, who waa on the witness stand Saturday, was the first witness called today. He c!d tbat the company never beard any complaInts.agalnst paying the men by the ear Instead of by weight until the advent of the United Mine Workers. It made no difference whether the miners were paid by the car or by weight so long as tbe rate paid was fair. The company never had any trouble re garding wages until the union came Into the field. The contract miners would cut only five or six cars instead of ths six or seven which could be relied upon before the strike of 1900. In consequence, the company had to employ 10 per cent more men than It did two years ago to get out the same amount of coal. The men at the company's mines bad a beneflclent accident aoclety. After the lld atrike the society was dissolved and Imme diately reorganised. This wss done, be said. In order to keep out the nonunion men who were "blackballed." From 1877 to -1900 the relations between tbe men and tbe company were pleasant and during tbat period there were no strikes. Wsges, be said, were voluntarily increased 16 per cent. Including the in crease given as result of tbe 100 strike the wsges ot the men had been Increased 45 per cent since 1877. He had Do ohjectlon to the company's employes organising their own union for collective bargaining. He thought they had right to organize, and be had no objec tion to their be In j affiliated with other labor organizations, but be did not tnina it right for officials of Ihe United Mine Work ers of America to come In and make the bargains for tho men. He believed the mtlovcs of the Dela ware, Lackawanna Western were capable of carrying on their own negotiations. He went on to sy that the plan of organisa tion would have to be materially chaoged or the union would not last long In the an thracite fields. It would have to eliminate the boys, he said, who bad a voice In the organisation. Each boy bad half a vote. according to the lawa of the union, but he often cast a full one. JuJge Oray Interrupted to suggest that an organization like the miners' union should be composed of mature minds. In reply to Mr. Clark witness said he personally thought the men might bring in a third party to arbitrate In case the em ployes and tbe company failed to agree cn some disputed points. If the company brought In an outside person to plead Its case the men would have an undoubted right te do the same. There were more cases of insuhnrdlaatlon among the men, be added, more than there were prior to the strike of 1!)00. The mini mum wage of Inside laborers, who required no skill, was $1.77 a day and $1.38 a day for outside laborers. Owing to the union restricting the num ber of cars a miner could load they were earning no more money than they did be fore the 10 per cent Increase two years ago. In this connection Mr. Darrow quoted from Mr. Truesdale'a annual report of 1901, in which he said $1,412,000, or 20 per cent more, was paid to the men In 1901 than in 11)00. The miners' attorney asked how he reconciled his own testimony with the re port of his president, and witness replied that Mr. Truesdale'a figures applied to all employes, while his testimony referred only to contract miners.
