The committee on "esolutlon reported favorably on the motion concerning the subsidy bill, and the convention was about to adopt It when William J. Glithorpe of the Brotherhood of Boiler .Makers and Iron Shipbuilders took the floor to speak In lta favor. . ; He declared that tho passage of the act would result in the Increased employment of skilled labor and enable this, country to construct ships as cheaply as foreign countries. The American marine required protection and be urged that the report of the committee be not concurred In... When be took his seat a dozen dole, gates were 00 their feet clamoring for recognition. James O'Connell, president of the International Association of Machin ists, got the. floor and claimed that no greater combination existed, in the country than that of the shipyards, and organised labor bad no more relentless foe. They were opposed to the elgbt-hour.day and had discharged men' because they' 'belonged to. unions.

Dr. Katerbrook reports that the Pyramid Pile Cure not only cures the various forms of plies, but never falls to give Immediate relief on the first application, no matter bow severe tha paia or d!coasfort may be. People who have suffered from piles for years are often astonished at the Instant CP'.lof experienced from the Brat applica tion.

JUDGE GRAY ALSO SEEKS INFORMATION Wltaeas !aya He Regards Mis Una dred Dollars a Year the Lowest Proper l.lvlnsr Waste for Miners. I SCR ANTON, Pa., Nov. 15. i'resldeht John Mitchell of the t'nlted Mine Work ers' union, occupied the stsnd throughout both sessions of the coal strike commission today. For four hours and a half he took the cross-fire of two brilliant attorneys for the coal companies and ended the day with few scars as a result of the battle. David Wlllcox of New York, general counsel for the Delawsre & Hudson company, and Wayne MacVeagh of Philadelphia, who is representing tho Pennsylvsnia Coal com-., pany and the Hillside Coal & Iron company, were the principal questioners'. The afternoon session was the more in teresting. Mri facYengh's cross-examination was as it jvlm, ery keen, and while he assured Mr VJttbeU that be was not radically opposed -ta Mm, he did not miss sn opportunity to place Ills reasons for demanding better conditions in tho anthra cite field In a bad light. After, going over the demands of the miners, Mr. MacVeagh took up the condi tions existing in and about the collieries and tried to show that tbe conditions spoken of by Mr. Mitchell were not borne out by Investigation. He took Forest City, as an example and produced photographs of houses In the town, and referred to large deposits In the local bank, to show the prosperous condition of the community. Mr. Mitchell, although not admitting that the conditions as presented by Mr. MacVeagh were true, said he could not, for lack of familiarity with the community, deny bis assertions. Arbitrators Work Long Honrs. Mr. MacVeagh also contended tbat no one haf the rights to deny a man the privilege of working more than right hours a dsy If he so desired. He said not. one member of the commission would be occupying his prejent place if he bad limited his own labors to that extent, but Mr. Mitchell did not think It fair to compare mine work era with the arbitrators. To the direct question as to whether he, as president of the union, had a right to curtail the hours of employment, Mr. Mit chell said he thought he had, and explained that If one miner worked more than eight hours It would probably result in the rest being compelled to work the samo length of time. Mr. MacVeagh declared that there was nothing In Mr. Mitchell's suggestions defi nitely calling on the companies to enter Into partnership with the United Mine Workers, and inquired if that was one of the demands. Mr. Mitchell said It was, whereupon Mr. MacVeagh said his company waa endeavor ing to ascertain and would continue to as certain what reasons, there were for at tempting to compel them to enter Into tbat agreement. Immediately after tho opening of the morning session Judge Gray announced the commission's decision with regard to the position of nonunion men. 1 Commission Decides a Point. His honor said: The commission has considered the matter of your application and have decided that It "will mk you to submit to them a state ment showing whom you represent, by what authority, what points other than those al ready at issue between the formal parties; to this contioveray you wisn to inject into this hearlrg and a concise statement of wtmt you claim, what your position is in re gard to the general proportions between the formal and logical parties to thla com. mlsrion and also state that vnu irimmniv submission to award of this commission. Mr. Lenahan asked: "How soon must this be done?" "As soon as you can," replied Judge Gray. After Judge Gray's announcement to the attorneys for the nonunion men Mr. Wlll cox resumed bis cross-examination of Mr. Mitchell. Answering a question Mr. Mitchell said the local unions or mass meetings could direct the operation of pickets. Mr. Wlll cox read from a statement made by the president of the Federation v of Labor at tbe Chicago trust confer ence in September, 1809, in which Mr. Gom purs is alleged to have said tbat any trust legislation which did not specially exempt organised labor from Its operations would meet the unquestioned opposition of all the labor forces, and asked the. witness If tbat expressed his views. Mr. Mitchell replied that organised labor would not look with favor upon any law that would legislate It out of business. In reply to further questions he said he regarded $600 the annual amount necessary to cover a miner's legitimate expenses and' allow him to properly educate his children. At this point Judge Gray asked It be meant to say he regarded not less than $000 a year would be a sufficient wage to permit miners' children to avail themselves of the public schools and permit the family to spend a portion of Its Income and still not make It necessary to resort to child labor. Mr. Mitchell said he did. ' On the question of the minimum age at which a boy should go to the breaker, Mr. Mitchell said he advocated that It be put at 14 years. Mr. Wlllcox examined Mr. Mitchell at some length regarding the various demands of the miners. "Do you know the wages that are paid are about $60,000,000?" Mr. Wlllcox asked. i'l have read that statement," the wit ness answered. "Don't you or your committees know It?" Inquired Mr. Wlllcox. "No, sir, we don't," responded Mr. Mitchell. "This Is a demand of $12,000,000 Increase In tbe coat of production," ssld Mr. Wlll cox. "On that calculation, yes," replied tbe witness, "that would be about 12 or 1$ cents a ton." In reply to another question witness said If the miners had known at the outset that the differences would go to a board of ar bitration they would have asked for mors, so that while the arbitrators were settling the question, tbey would settle It perma nently. IK-ates Restriction Oatpat. He denied tbat his organisation restricted the quantity of work a man might perform, but aald it did believe In regulating hours. Judge Gray asked: "I blast and throw down enough coal to keep three laborers busy loading, and you only throw down enough to employ two, am I not to bo al lowed to employ tbe third laborer?" "You could not do that," replied Mr. Mitchell, "without breaklug tbe law of Pennsylvania You would have to work at two different breasts, which would permit your looking after tha safety of your la borers by being with them and working with them." Commissioner Watkins asked If the union permitted a miner to employ three laborers? "Tha organization Is opposed," waa tbe response, "to miners employing more thaa one laborer. It la not tbe execution ot any well defined policy, but almply a regulation tbat tbe miners of tbe anthracite Held Bad necessary to protect, themselves against favoritism and agate, it one man golag out snd hiring a number of Isborers and bring ing them In to work for him." la answer to further questions he said the men should bo paid for every pound of mer chantable coal produced. Then he denied any knowledge of the union having Inaugurated a strike because of the employment ot nonunion men, but admitted that local unions had suspended work on this account. Lawyer Believes la Islssi. Mr. MacVeagh told Mr. Mitchell In open ing his cross-examination that he was not opposed to the proper organisation of la bor. He thought that where employers were large corporations It might be to the interest of the men to combine. Then he asked the average rate of wages paid In the t'nlted States. Mr. Mitchell could not tell him. "Then you are not competent to tell the commission upon what you base a fair standard ot American living, except In a sentimental way?" retorted counsel, "I think I am," replied witness. Turning to another question, Mr. Mac Veagh asked wbc would pay the advanced price of coal If the advance was granted. "Who would stand for this Increased coat? Don't you think the poor would be tbe real sufferers?" he queried. "I suppose the operators will make the poor stand for it. We are not responsible for tbat," responded Mr. Mitchell. The commission adjourned until Monday, with Mr. Mitchell still on the stand. BABC0GK IS NOT IN THE RACE Wisconsin Man Announces tbat He Is la Favor ( Caanoa for Speaker. MILWAUKEE, Nov. 15. The Wisconsin republican congressional delegation, at a conference tbis afternoon, offered their sup port to Congressman Babeock for speaker of the Fifty-eighth congress. Mr. Babeock, however, declines to be a candidate and favors Congressman Cannon of Illinois. The delegation decided to follow Bab cock's lead and support Cannon. In ad dressing the delegation Mr. Babeock said: "The speaker of the Fifty-eighth congress should, in view of the present environ ments, be selected with peculiar care, and with serious regard for party harmony In republican policies. Ho should bo chosen without Incurring obligations that might weaken tbe organisation ot the house, so tbat he would be free to use his best Judg ment to make the organization tbe strong est possible, to the end that public meas ures may be considered without prejudice and to the end that the greatest good may be accomplished for the greatest number. "The first and most Important thing to be considered is a harmonious organization, one that will bring to tbe speaker all tho elements ot strength in the party. Tbe eaat has several distinguished gentlemen whose, names have been mentioned for speaker, among them tbe Hon. S. E. Payne and Hon. J. S. Sherman of New York, Hon. John Dalzell of Pennsylvania, Hon.

"If I should enter the field aa a candi date It would be a long drawn-out contest that might leave scars that Would In tbe end prevent that harmony of organization which, In the public interest, should be pre served, especially In the west. "After considering the subject from aft standpoints. Including those which I have mentioned. I have concluded not to entor tbe Hat of candidates for the speakership."

The officials of the coast and geodetic survey pronounce the report that encroachments have been made by an American aurveyor upon Brit ish territory as incorrect. .They say none of .their surveyors have been engaged In that section of the coun try, except when accompanied by an engi neer representing the British government, and that whatever monuments were erected were ao erected for the purpose of marking trigonmetrlcal points located in connection with their triuagulatlon work. They alao call attention to the fact that their sur veyor could do nothing toward asserting the sovereignty of the United States. They attribute the report to retaliation on the part of Canadians for statements of a aimllar character made by Americans.
