THE OMAHA DAILY HEEt "WEDNESDAY NOVEMBETt, 10, 1002 Mltthell salo. tbnt they bad the rlht to shut down their mines. Judge Gray asked the witness If his so c'ety did not depend, after all, on the old conomlo truth that all great force which tend to uplift and carry on social adrance ment and civilization depend upon the ar erage dealr of the Individual to better hit own condition and to work for wages, and upon the deslr of a man who bas property to utilise It and get an Income from It. "I think that la true." was Mr. Mitchell's response. Judge Oray: "If ou can Imagine all men caaalng to work at once the whole social machine would stoo." Mr. Mitchell said: "Yes." Commissioner Wright asked: "Do you consldsr it Justifiable for the employers In a certain district, In order to resist the demands of the labor union, to paralyze that Industry or any group of Industries?" "No, ,1 don't think It Is proper." Mr. Mitchell replied. "Would the same answer be made If I Should substitute; -unions Instead of 'em ployers?' " "I think In either cnee." replied Mr. Mitchell, "some' other avenue of adjust ment than paralyzatlon of the Industry should be sought." , Mr. Mitchell, ' answering the commis sioners, said the ttatted Mine Workers did not Incorporate because the step waa not necessary. An organization financially responsible, he said, "must have large fund and' this' the working people did cot have. He said that employers who ob jected to treating with- tho union because It was not Incorporated would object to treating with It anyhow. Commissioner Wright asked Mr. Mitchell what he meant by recognition of the union' and the witness replied: "It means that employers shall make agree ments regulating hours of labor, wages, etc., with the union and that the union as such' would be held responsible for a rigid compliance with those agreements. The cross-examination was next taken tap by W. W. Ross of New York, counsel of the Delaware, Lackawana A Western. Stop Miners Working. "A a matter of fact," aald Mr. Ross, "your organisation baa stopped the min ers working when the breakers were Idle." Mr. Mitchell admitted that In one dis trict this 'was so. This was for the pur pose of preventing favoritism. "You have spoken of favoritism," Inter cepted Mr. Ross, "and of the excessive sys tem of docking. - Do they exist in our mines?" . "That la my Information' was the reply. "If the miners had been permitted to work on idle days," asked counsel a mo ment later, "the output would have been greater?" "Did your company want more coal than was produced?" replied witness qulx lngly. "For several years we have wanted all the coal we could get. We have never been able really to supply our orders." "That Information," answered Mr. Mitchell, "I different from what the men you represent usually say. They claim their salea are limited entirely by the competition of bituminous coal." "We are not discussing competition at present," tartly replied Mr. Rosa, going on to explain that "during the present era of prosperity they had worked all the mines they could to advantage." "I repeat,"' aald Mr. Mitchell, further answering the question, "that this Informa tion la contrary to the statements : made by the presidents of your companies." At the request of "Counsel Mr. Mitchell , gave a history' of his connection with organised ..labor. . In 1868 be received a recognition of the union and a change from ten hpurs. t,o e'igJit.ln.IUittoJs without a strike.' "' :i. .Z. '- f We did," bessald,-wbafc we are try.'ng toi.do kere: we. asked the operators ' to meet ua end we agreed on an advance of 18- per sent an 1 an eight hour day." ' Being' brought to the question of child labor, witness said he 'could not see any other reaaon for H than thefact that their parents required the money' to live on. Certain of the Delaware men, he remarked arcastlcally, visited Philadelphia once In twenty-four years and told their grandchildren of ,the trip aa the great event In their Uvea. Here Mr. Ross took occasion to Say that the company owned only 2M houses, which were rented, to the miners at an average of 15 a modth. "So you see," ho re marked, "we; have', not' many houses for the number of employes, ' upward of 12 -000." ; .. "You charge-enough for the onea you do ha-ve," was -Mt. Mitchell's dry response, while the spectators ' laughed. . Then they came to the question of profits and witness said" the company paid a 25 per cent dividend. ' " "la that not correct," Inquired counsel. "T think that was It," aald Mr. Mitchell. "There are a good many methods for put ting profits away in a railroad," he added. Replying to further Inquiry he said there had been few failure of coal companies either In' the anthracite or bituminous fields, although Mr. Rosa contended that mining was a hazardoua Investment. Operators Must Discipline Men. "What benefit 1 there?" asked the lawyer, coming to a new point, "to the miner In being paid by the ton Instead of by the car?" "There has been general .discontent among the miner because they are docked not only for Impurities, but on account of tbe 'topping.' " "You do not know." said Mr. Roaa. "that it Js necessary to discipline a man?" 'la that the reason." demanded the union president "for the Impurities or for the fact the car did not have enough In It?" Answering Judge Cray. Mr. Mitchell ad mitted that about 10 per cent of tbe total production of authraclte coal was put out on the weight basis. The commission adjourned with Mr. Mitchell still on the stand. CANT EVADE IT.

CHANCE FOR AMERICA TO 00 LIKEWISE Methods tr VMeh the Rest Qaallty of Bred ie Frodeced Outlined by . Consul -Dlederlek at Bremen. (From a Btaff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. (Special.) Henry W. Dlederlek, United States consul at Bremen,' In x paper to the State depart ment on the cultivation of beet seed from Imported mother seed, says: It Is Impossible for men Interested In the beet-sugar industry in the L'nted Htates to attach too much Importance to every phase of the seed question. As Is well known, most of the seed Is imported, mainly from Germany and France, where specialists have for genera tion, through scientific methods of breed ing and selection, succeeded in growing seed for Meets with high sugar contents. But Imported beet seed Is expensive, and therefore efforts are being made In ulvers migHr-jrodurlng countries to grow the sup plies needed at home. The auecese thus far has been rather indifferent, particularly in the United States, as I am Informed. Even If the grower has all the scientific experience necessary and is fully equipped as to details, he still has many more dlf ncuities (those originating from our cell and climate) to contend with than the lorelgn seed grower. Thus It Is a well known fact that many kinds of high-grade seeed will degenerate more rapidly in our country than elsewhere; but of late yeara considerable progress has been made ' In this direction, and there is every reason to expect that ere long American home-grown beet seed will reach the standard that has been attained by the growers In Germany and France. Outlines Russian Process. I desire to call attention to a method which has buen employed by Russian growers of seed during recent seasons, and has proved very successful. They import German mother seed, from which they raise, In the course of two years, a crop of tlrst-claBS beet seed with all the quali ties of the original. In this way, it is said, they get the very best seed at half the cost. Some of our beet-sugar people- may consider It worth while to see if good marketable beet seed can not also be grown in our own country from imported mother seed. The process used In RussIa Is very sim ple. The mother seed is sown with a ma chine drill in rows that are ten to twelve inches apart, about twenty to thirty pounds to the acre. After the seed - has sprouted and sprung up the hoe must be kept busy to prevent the weeds from grow ing up with the young plants. However, the plants are not thinned, as Is done when crop beets are raised for sugar, but are allowed to grow until fall. Just as they were sown. Before frost sets In the small beets thus grown from the mother seed are dug out, together with their tops, and those which have some defect about the roots or otherwise are picked out and thrown aide. The smooth and perfect ones are then put into pits, together with their tops, not more than three beets deep. ' The layers are put together, -with their tops outward and the roots almost touching each other, and the entire row Is gradually covered with earth, beginning with a little at the start and adding thereto with in creasing cold weather, until the covering becomes about a yard thick (In Russia), so that they may not suffer from rain, frost or Insects. The soil In which the mother seed is sown should not be previously fer tilized with fresh stable manure or with any commercial fertilizer of a strong ni trogenous character, but only with nitrate of potash or phosphoric acid. , . Second Year's Growth, In the following spring, the small ' seed beets are taken out of the pits, again as sorted and planted two .feet apart in soil which has been thoroughly fertilized with stable manure- or nitrate of potash or phos phoric acid, and Is in a high state of culti vation. When the seed beets are well started they must be constantly kept free from weeds They are allowed to grow till the seed turns brown In color, when - the stalks are cut and put into bundles. These renajn, .oui In ,thjWd. luitu ujkae-; cotne dry, when they are fSrougnt to the barn and threshed. As already v atatedM about twenty to thirty pounds of Jnothoj seed are sufficient for oner acre.. Frori this can be grown all the material needed to plant ten acres of seed, beets. In 'the fol lowing spring. As to results. In Germany n an fever a go 1,700 to 1.H00 pounds of beet seed are har vested from one acre; therefore ten acres will average 17.000 to.l8JX Pounds. In other words, the twenty or, thirty pounds of mother seed sown the first year will pro duce st the end of the second 17,ono to 18,000 pounds, equal to 100 sacks of beet seed, with which to raise crop beets for the sugar factory. Condition of Boll. As much depends upon the proper con dition of the ooll. It Is well to remark once more that the ground should be in good condition, 1. e.. thoroughly plowed and cul tivated and kept free from weeds, but it must not be at all nitrogenous for the cultivation of the mother seed during the first year. On the other hand, the soil in which the seed beets are planted in the second yeah should be In the very best state of fertility, from the applioation of stable manure and commercial fertilizers. By reducing as much as possible the ni trogenous matter In. the first year, the growth of the small seed beets will be re tarded, but they will attain a very high percentage of sugar; and by pushing them the second year with strenuous fertilizers, they will yield a heavy crop of fully de veloped seed. The best climate is that in which dry weather predominates In the fall. After the stalks have been cut they should be protected as much as possible from the wet, otherwise the seeds lose their virtue of germinating! All -semi that Is well matured and has become thoroughly dry and been brought to shelter without being again exposed to damp weather will germinate quickly-. Of course, there will be details in this, as In every other busi ness, which, will have to be found out by experience, but the general principles of this method of producing home-grown beet seed will be readily adapted to the varia tions of our climate and sol. , The contracts for German mother seed sold to Russia are made on the following basis: The seed Is furnished on conditions that the seller will ultimately get $1.70 for every 100 pounds of beet seed harvested. To protect himself, he at the same time demands that if the crop should b a fail ure, he gets $!) for each sack of 110 pounds of mother seed, of whioh 119 per sack roust be paid In advance, upon delivery of tho seed. At tlrst, this seems to be an extrava gantly high price, but when' If Is borne In mind tnat one sac or mother seed will iield ordinarily, at the end of two years, .600 sacks of bet seed (worth at the pres ent market price $S per sack, about 11,100) it will be admitted that the cost. Is none too high, and that the experiment Is worth trying. DENVER HOLDS CELEBRATION Crowds Rejoice Over Victory ta Spit of Opposition of Falrler. DENVER, Nov. 18.
