rionmetalllo minerals. Our manufacturing
Interests would dwindle Into Insignificance
but for our mines.
1 Manufacture Is equally dependent upon
.agriculture for cotton, flax, wool and other
products of the field end herd. Our com
mercial, Industrial and financial supremacy
Is, therefore, not dependent-upon any one
fact, or Interest, or condition, but upon
Jl combined.
We produoe practically 0,000.000 tons of
Iron ore as much as any other two coun
tries and one-third of the world's output.
We produce 40 per cent of the world's
output of Iron and steel. During the first
half of 1903 we produced Dearly 10,000,000
tons of pig Iron. -
We ' produce more coal than Great
Britain; more than twice as much as Ger
many and nearly double that of all coun
Nes except Oreat UrltRln and Germany.
We grow three-fourths of the world's
cotton fibre and our ability to produce this
staple Is far above the present product.
A people's prosperity Is not measured br
lis capacity to produce more than by Its
rapacity to consume, and this capacity to
consume Is In turn dependent upon the
earning capacity of the Individual, and
the earning capacity of the. Individual is
again dependent upon native end acquired
ability. Ho. If America be great. It is be-
. cause God In His wisdom stored the moun
tains with the richest minerals, overlaid
.the valleys with a most fertile soil and
then gave it to the people competent, In
some slight degree at least, to Improve
their opportunities.

with the grand scenery of Spearflsh canon

on which ho rode as well aa the beautiful

was spent In Inspecting tin deposits, the

desire to have a ride on the engine pilot.
the division superintendent of the railroad
fastened a cushion upon the pilot and In

pleasure. Frequently he shouted In his

UMPIRE WRIGHT'S FINDINGS
Mine Operaters Keen Give No Reason for
Discharge of Men.
SUSTAINS CONTENTION OF EMPLOYERS
Seme Cases Before Hoard of Concilia
tloa Brought by rartlrs Not (
Affected by Award of
Comntlssloa.
SCRAN TON, Pa., Sept. 8.-Carroll D.
Wright, the umpire to whom was referred
the five dlsputea between-the operatora and
miners'- representatives on the board of
conciliation appointed under the provision
of the Anthracite strike commission, filed
his findings tenlght with T. D. Nicholls,
secretary of the board. In dealing with
the question of the employers' rights to
discharge men for any cause than that of
connection with a labor union Umpire
Wright agrees with the contention of the
operatora' representatives and declares that
the right of an employer to discharge wlth
put giving the cause of the discharge Is
sustained by the award of the eommiseion.
He aaya that the Lehigh Coal and Naviga
tion company and Coxa Brothers and com
pany should take back old men Instead of
putting on new men In all cases where the
old men are competent and have not been
convicted or not awaiting trial for crimes
committed during the strike. The umpire's
report takes up twenty-five pages of type
written matter.
Both sides Free to Change.
Leading up to the final award the umpire
aays:
Taklnc the rullnvs of the court, the asser
tion of the anthracite strike commission.
tne Clauses in the uareement made with tne
United Mine workers of America, and tne
admissions of the different members of the
board of conciliation, whether on the one
ide or the ether, there can be no doubt
that a man has the right to quit the service
or nis employer whenever he sees nt, witn
or without giving any cause, provided he
gives proper notice, and that the employer
nas a perrect right to employ and alschage
men In necordstnee with the conditions of
his Industry; that he Is not obliged to give
any cause for discharge, but that he would.
as In the reverse case, give proper notice.
This right to discharge must, therefore, be
sustained. Any other view of the case
would result in compelling men to work
for an emcover when thev did not wish to
and thus enslave them, when on the other
hand It would compel employers to employ
men whether the men were Incompetent or
not and would stagnate business and work
to the injury of all other employer.
gome Not 'Parties to Award.
It is therefore decided that contractors
driving rock tunnels, sinking shafts and
otner similar worK, net oelng parties to
the 'submission nor having agreed to abide
ty tne awards or the anthracite coal strike
commission are not parties under the award
and, have no standing before the board of
conciliation, and that their employes are
not among those employes affected by the
award of -tho anthracite coal strike com
mission. The board has now disposed of about
thirty ' disputes. Two more questions on
which It deadlocked will be submitted to
Umpire Wright. They deal with the nine-
hour day In the Reading mines and the
proper basis on which to compute the In
crease In wages awarded by the commis
sion, the companies In the Lehigh and
Schuylkill region contending that It Should
be on the net earnings, while the men con
tend It should bs on the gross earnings.

said I would wo doubt find It difficult to

Tho Salonlca advices are also again very
disquieting. It Is expected that a general
revolt throughout the provinces of Salonlca
will occur next week. It Is tha understand
ing among the foreign officials at Salonlca
that a general Insurrection will shortly be
announced by the Macedonian committee.
In View of this expectation rigid police
measures have been taken by tha vail, who
Is showing much energy. Reports from
Monastir say the Insurrection In that dis
trict haa been practically crushed by the
extreme measures taken by tha Turkish
troops.
The officials hero attach significance to
the report showing that a number of Serbes
have crossed the border and Joined the
Macedonian revolutionists.
Reports from . various points throughout
Bulgaria show that there Is a atrong feeling
against Prince Ferdinand, owing to the fact
that he left the country during the crisis.
It Is not expected, however, that the agi

Elmer E. Thomas, chairman of the pop

to order shortly after 8 o'clock last night
In the small ball on the second floor of the
Washington hall building. Including Mr.
Thomas, exactly thirteen men were present
at the time, but about ten more came In
later, and a total voting strength of eight
een was developed during the meeting.
J. J. Points waa elected temporary chair
man and T. G. Kellogg temporary secre
tary. It being a "mass meeting" It was de
clared that every one present would be con
sidered a delegate and the temporary offi
cers were thereupon made the permanent
Officers.
John O. Yelser moved that a committee
of three ba appointed to draft a aet of res
olutions to be submitted to the oommlttee,
the committee to be named later, for ap
proval. But Judge Martin Langdon thought
that nominations came first and the matter
of resolutions was later overlooked or en
tirely forgotten, the meeting adjourning
without adopting any or appointing a com
mittee. Cnase of the Dispute.
Mr. Yelser said that as there could be no
dispute regarding nominating Judges Dick
inson and Read, and A. N. - Ferguson and
E. C. Page, that he moved their nomination
be made unanimous, the other three nomi
nations to be made later. But there was a
dispute, and one that lasted during the
entire meeting, between Judge Langdon
and P. L. Forgan on the one aide and
the populist machine E. E. Thomas,
George A. Magney, John O. Yelser, Laurie
J. ijuinby, assisted at times by S. Arlon
Lewis, F. Dcs Lanler-IIorton and tsl:aj
Robbing on the other side.
A. determined fight by Judge Langdon and
Mr; Forgan compelled the machine to tem
porarily drop Judge Read, and Judge Dick
inson, E. C. Page and A. N. Ferguson were
nominated unanimously. But the machine
In turn turned down Judge Langdon's nom
ination of Lee 8. Estelle, Arthur C. Wake
ley and A. C. Troup, and George A. Mag
ney, also nominated by him, declined to be
a candidate.
John O. Yelser made an Impassioned pica
for Judge Read and an equally Impassioned
denunciation of Judge Estelle, to which
Judge Langdon replied that he knew Judge
Estelle had turned down Mr. Yelser In hU
organized labor litigation, but nevertheless
Judge Estelle was correct In his opinion
and waa far the superior of Judge Read In
ability. E. F. Morearty came in late and
wanted to know whether ha was at a popu
list convention or at a mass meeting. Be
ing assured he was at a mass meeting of
cltlsens he attempted to make a speech and
particularly to defend Judge Estelle from
the attack on him by John O. Yelser. But

forces and as Mr. Morearty would not
pledge himself to support the nominees of
the meeting he was ruled out of order and
requested to sit down.
"'' ' Reid Finally Chosen.
On a division Judge Read wa nominated
by fifteen votes to two votes Judge Lang
don and P. L. Fovgau for Arthur . C.
Wakeley. Mr. Magney raid ha understood
G. W. Doane vouid rucept a nomination
by the meeting and Judge Doane was Im
mediately nominated unanimously.
Mr. Thomas Insisted that the populists
should have at leust one candldato on the
ticket and urged Mr. Magney to recon
sider bla determination not to be a can
didate. But Mr. Magney again declined
with thanks and Mr. Thomas, In a speech
telling how strong he would be with or
ganised labor, moved that John O. Yelser
be nominated. "
' On two conditions, Mr. Yelser said, ne
would be glad to accept the nomination.
If the meeting refused to nominate Lee S.
Estelle, whom Judge Langdon wu still
advocating at times, and left the selection
of the seventh candidate to the Judiciary
committee to be appointed, he would tic
oept the nomination. By all except Judge
Langdon and P. L. Forgan, the conditions
were accepted, and John O. Yelser's name
waa added to the list. I . .
8. Arlon Lewis wanted the only faction
still unrepresented given a place on the
ticket. There were only three or four ill
ver republicans left, he said, and Harry
E. Burn am now registers as a democrat,
but he wanted him put -on the ticket to
represent the silver republicans. But the
big four said "No" and 8. Arlon Lewis
sat down. The big four said "No" again,
and much more emphatically, when Judge
Langdon and Mr.' Forgan placed A. C.
Troup In nomination, urging that if a non
partisan ticket was to be nominated at
least, one candidate should be taken from
the republican ticket, and that Mr. Troup
was worthy In every way of the support
of populists.
To Complete the Ticket.
Mr. Thomas declared that If left to tha
committee Judge Fawcett, Judge Hopewell,
Judge Lake, Judge Howe and Judge
Wakeley and others belonging to the same
clase, would be seen and whichever one
of them would accept would be nominated.
Then John O. Yelser, as being the par
ticular nominee of the meeting, was given
authority to select a committee of seven,
four from Douglas county and one each
from Washington, Burt and Barpy coun
ties; the committee was given authority to
fill the ono vacancy, and any other va
cancies, on the ticket, and after taking up
collection to pay the 82.50 rent of tha
room the meeting adjourned.
