Address of President Uadley. -
President Hsdley of Yale dwelt upon the
purposes of the American uhlfloTslt'y, point
ing out that' (he functions wero different In
various sec Hods of the oonritry.'' There" were
two ideas is to i university,' one regarding
it as a coping atone to secondary education
and the other aa a place for laying the
foundation for -professional at inly and work.
The college had the advantage of bring
ing together boys and girls' from" different
localities and providing for an Interchange
of Ideas, and whett These students went out
as graduates they diffused the broader ideaa
and higher standards. In the United States
the high schools da" the -work of colleges.
Many thlnga once learned only in the office
or shop are now on-the whole better taught
In the university and as. a result the tend
ency la for the university to - become a
group or technical schools, as Is the case In
Germany, f . . -
' Ideal 'of firnernl Coltnre.
The college course, Is making the Ideal of
general culture count for less and lees In
comparison with that pt prsctlcal prepara
tion for the duties ot life. There are some
who hold that the colleges may be able to
maintain these two Ideals side by side.
Many of the most progressive university
men would make every student who . enters
a school of theology, law or medicine ahow
a college degree. ''
President Hadley, while he aympathlxed
with the purpose underlying theae efforts,
could not believe that it represented the
true solution of the problem. If you re
quire a college degree from every profes
sional student, you prevent the college de
gree from representing more' than that
necessary minimum which can be fairly im
posed upon every professional student. By
enforcing It uponi those who do not want It,
you diminish its value to those who really
dp want It. ' ' ; "
flotation of University. 'Problem.
"'Wo should seek for the solution of our
university problems ' not In ths enforced
spplication of a German course to an En
glish one, busjVii'B'corobwation of the En

The great thJngt that the Bngllsn collages

"To effect this' combination will task the
best eflorta of the leaders of American edu
cation, but they are destined to accomplish
it. For Its accomplishment' the fullest In
terchange of mind and ideas being differ
ent localities and different sectlona Is sn
absolute essential. May the time bs not

MlTCnELLTIIANRS PRESIDENT
(Continued troru First Page.)
President, we make te unniallnert declara
tion that the Imported gtiarrlluns of law snd
onier, the companies' cnnl and Iron polio-,
have committed more ;i nprovoked innrdTS
rturlnjr this strike than ran be charged to
the great army of men who hAve been In
Idleness for the past live months,
Lanlrnra la Condemned.
We have repeatedly and In Inngunge not
Susceptible of mlHronstructlon, condemned
traitxRrepsiniis of aw on the part of thosn
on rtrtke, we ChHllerlge the Cosl companies
to point to one public utterance on their
part In which they have even depreciated
arts of violence committed by their hired
giinrds. i
We declare that It Is a, unfair and
uniniinly (or the coal road presidents to
Insult us while we were your ifiiesM nnd
eharire- our orgenlMtlon-with responsibility
for acts of lawlessness during the strike.
It would bo Just as logical to charge the
American nfray Iri the Philippines with
being an army of murderers, torturers and
robbers berauue a few crimes were com
mitted by soldiers there.
Until the mlllenlum there wlll be crimes
In every community, and human rtnture is
the same, no better and no worse, anionic
the half million people dependent upon
the coal fields as' it Is everywhere In our
country.
Tbe pretense of the operators thst they
were unable ' to pruduce coal because In
timidation kept from, work men who were
willing to work, has been proven false b'
the fact thot the protection which thny
demanded haw decreased rather than In-,
creased the number of men mining conl.
A hundred thousand troops could not have
enabled the operators to start their mines
for the simple reason that the men who
work thm are members -it the United
Mine Workers of America, men who were
determined to stand to the last for their
right to organise, and through their orgi
nlzattnn to demand better wages and Im
proved conditions of employment.
Deprivation, misrepresentation and troops
together were not sufficient to drive them
Into surrender. They stood shoulder to
shoulder to the last.
The iiperators declared thst thev- would
have nothing to do with the United Mine
Workers of America, but they have found
It necessary to recognise the power of the
United Mine Workers of America through
you, Mr. President, and to seek terms of
feace which will enable them to resume
heir business of mining and selling coal.
The recognition or our strength thus
forced upon the operators by stern neces
sity we exult Over, not In any narrow
spirit, but because we believe It msrks s
forward step, toward a new era. Upon the
foundations laid through war we are ready
to Join with them In building for better
conditions and a long and lasting peace.
Object ot Mine Workers.
The United Mine Workers of America
since its organization In thi anthracite
held has constantly sought to establish:
1. Fair wages and Just conditions of
labor; conditions Just to both operators and
miners. e have never made domands be
yond the ability of the Industry to nay on
a basis nf equitable division of profits be
tween is Dor ana capital. '
2. Amicable relations between emolovers
and employes, the latter speaking through
their organization and their organization
aiding the companies In maintaining dis
cipline, adjusting all dlffloultles by concili
atory methods, averting local strikes and
lockouts and securing ntable and satisfac
tory conditions to the Industry.
Our organisation, by the same methods
which we have proposed here, haa secured
Just such relations and Just such results In
the coal fields of trio country. Organiza
tion, like an Individual, must stand upon
what H haa dons and the life It has lived.
We Inyite scrutiny and investigation of our
record and character. In the soft coal
fields we -have Joint conferences with- the
oporutors and yvjth them we. adjust differ
ences, 'we sign joint agreements, together
we-preserve discipline, settle dlsputes and
maintain , harmony and -stability In tne
trade.
We have fcsked the anthracite operators to
Inquire ot the soft coal operators how well
they are pleased with their business rela
tions with us, whether or not we keep
agreements and render satisfactory services
for wages paid to our members. One busi
ness man might thus learn of another what
is the character of our organisation. Many
soft coal operators have publicly declared
that they would not dispense with our co
operation and would deem it a disaster If
compelled 'to go back to the chaotic condi
tions which existed when their labor was
unorganized. ,,,
Miners Stnnd Upon Record.
Upon our past record we are willing to
stand or fall. We have, time and time
again, invited the anthracite operators to
adopt these businexs methods and to deal
with us on this basis. Despite repeated
rebuffs we persisted, but they resented any
attempt upon our part to organize their
employes; they refused our overtures for
amicable discussion and possible satisfac
tory adjustment of wage differences in Joint
conference. They refused to have sny
dealings with their employee ! except as
Individuals; they refused concessions and
refused srbltratlon; they put their backs
against the wall of prejudice and their
faces arbitrarily against -progress; they
thought themselves stronger than the great
union principles which Is' making such
strides throughout the -world; that while
combining thlr corporations and pooling
their Interests n hard and fast alliance
they could deny the men who worked for
them the right to organize and speak
through their organisation.
When the Inevitable conflict came on they
attempted to Justify themaelves upon the
false plea that ours la an Irresponsible
organization; when we demonatrated our
responsibility and reliability they then as
serted that we were a lawless organization,
which was dominated by violence. When
society attempted to Interfere to aettle the
strike they declared their divinely ap
pointed right to be let alone. When repre
sentatlvea of national and state govern
menta tried to mediate they resented "such
meddling by politicians."
But. thanks to you. Mr. President, and
to the power of publlo opinion, they havs
been brought to a realisation of the fact
that the interests orwelfare of the Ameri
can people cannot be ignored with Im
punity. Jasllee Is Expected.
By the eminent tribunal whloh you have
named we have confidence that Justice will
be done our people: We are glad to have
a rhunra to a linear before such a court
empowered to consider and dispose of all
q lieu t ions at issue, first among mono
the demand of the mine workers for in
creased wages and a reduction In ths hours
of labor. Second Is the relations which
ought to exist between the employers and
the organization which the men have
formed and which they authorize to apeak
for them, i . . . -
From this arbitration we hope snd be
lleve will come a complete, satisfactory
and permanent solution of "the troubles
which have vexed the anthracite field from
time immemorial. Respectfully yours.
JOHN MITCHEL,U -President
United Mine Workers of America.

MRS. BROWN SAYS IT FOLLOWED
HER BY NIGHT AND DAY.
Life Had Become Almost I nbearable
When Oh e Discovered the Only
Way lint of Her Tronble.
The doctor who was called' to attend
Mrs. Maggie A. Brown found her almost dis.
traded by a continual roaring sound In
her ears; her hands and feet were Ice cold
and she complained of a splitting head
ache. He quickly diagnosed her troubles
as nervous headache, but, although ' Ms
skill was unquestioned, his medicine failed
to bring the desired .relitf.' Iirtnct It wss
not until she tried Ir. Williams' rink
Pills for Pa,le People lhat she waa cured.
Mrs. Brown, who lives in Austin. Mower
county, Minn., gives htr experience for
the benefit of others who suffer. She ssys:
"For the Inst ten yearn I had been trou
bled at times with headache; "cbld extremi
ties, pnln In the back- and an awful roar
ing in the ears. In January of last year
my condition became so bad 'that the doc
top was railed. My trouble was compli
cated with a diaorder of ths " liver, but
this seemed to yield to the doctor's treat
ment. The rtricing sound continued and
followed me night and day. Th doctor
said It was caused by nervous headache.
I was sick In bed for weeks and my head
did not stop aching. One tiay I ssw Dr.
Wlllams' Pink .Pills 'mentioned in a news
paper and thought I would try them. Ths
first box helped me dcrldodly so I got six
more and by the time I htad taken them
the headaches rarely troublpd me and my
head felt good. Tbe ringing' In the ears
tbat had proved so annoying was gone. I
shall always keep Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
on hand and gladly recommend them to
anyone afflicted as I was. They are tho
only thing I ever found that seemed ex
actly suited for nervous headache."
Nearly everyonn lias felt symptoms of
this trouble Which' Mrs. Brown ex
perienced. In her rase the disease was
neglected for years snd became chronic.
Even Innocent ' excesses cause nervous
headache and this Is Invariably the Xore
runnsr of a nervous breakdown.' Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills build up the blood,
strengthen the nerves and tone up the sys
tem. Taken In time they often prevent
serious Illness. They have cured the most
obstinate diseases of' the blood and nerves
such as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis,
St, Vitus dance, sciatica, neuralgia, nerv
ous headache, tho after-effects of the grip,
of fevers aud of other acute diseases, pal
pitation of the heart, pale and aallow com
plexion and all forms of weakness cither
