KIgh Over Snipe and ('la,
Later In the day there were two animated
debates, one over the resolution against
the ship subsidy bill and the second over
that opposing the isthmian canal.
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

The resolution against the Nicaragua or

'A SOURCE OF SURPRISE
To fnyslclaaa aad Patients Alike.
Dr. Redmond, a specialist la the study
and treatment of piles and rectal diseases,
recently stated that the Pyramid Pile Cure,
the new discovery for-the cure of piles,
was lbe most remarkable remedy be bad
ever sen or tried in one respect, and that
waa the Instant relief experienced in all
raaes, ao matter how severe, from the mo
meat he remedy wss applied; this was the
more surprising to biro because he had
carefully analyzed tha preparation and no
trace of opium, cocaine or similar poison
eouid be detected.
Pbyslctana look with great favor upon
the Pyramid Pile Cure, becauae It la rap-
Idly taking the place of surgical operations
and becauae it la so simple, so easily ap
plied and coutalna no mineral or other
poisons so commonly used In pile cures.
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. Another .important advantage la tha
fact that anyoue can use the remedy with
out detention from business or Interference
with dally occupation.
Mr. J. W. Rollins of Sweet Springs, Mo.,
writes: I consider the Pyramid Pile Cure
without aa equal; It cured mo In lata than
30 days. I wslted 15 days or mors to be
sure I was fully cured before writing you;
I can now iu.y I sin cured and I shall rec
ommend the Pyramid Pile Cure "at every
' boss Ibis opportunity because it deserves U.
The popularity' of this remedy Is such
, tnaj all druggists now aell It at fifty cents

MITCHELL AGAIN IN
Attorney for Operators Asks tbe Labor
Leader Many Questions.
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. C. E.
Littlefleld of Maine, and In tbe middle west
Hon. Theodore E. Burton ot Ohio. The
west proper bat but one announced can
didate, Hon. Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois,
tbe veteran leader of the bouse, ripe in ex
perience, courageous, wise and above re
proach, whose highest ambition would be to
faithfully promote the auccess of repub
lican principles, to give due heed to -public
sentiment on tbe great questions that con
front us now and that are likely to be con
sidered, and to maintain that co-operation
of the house with the senate so necessary
to wise and careful legislation.
"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."

Complained Of.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15. 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.
Geodetic survey authorities also atate
that, ao far as their knowledge goes, no
boundary monuments were inherited from
the Russians.

derstanding has arisen befveen them and
few divergences of opinion, but it has been
owing to something besides this. In ef-.
feet. It haa been due to the kindly senti
ment of the two republics.
