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.

RAISING; SUGAR BEET SEED
Enpiiani Saoceufnllj Break in on German
and French Monopoly.
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.

NEW COFFEE
' For the V. 8. Army.
Some soldiers are badly affected by cof

one of the army posts In the west says:
"Though In the medical service of the
Army, I suffered agony for two years from
a case of chronio gastric Indigestion, and
now that . I tm, free from all the torture
attendant upon It, I attribute ,tt to th
good effects of Postum Food Coffee, both
as a food and as a beverage.
I used medicinal and mechanical means
to relieve myself during those two yeara
and even though I had left off the us of
coffee, I did not find myself in any measure
free until I had commenced using Postum.
Being In charge of a detachment of th
Hospital Corps, U. S. A., I, of course, had
supervision of tbe mess, and - by degrees
I have Initiated into using Postum every
member of the mess, some of whom were
formerly very loud 10 their denunciation
of everything 'manufactured.' And, going
still further, I have supplied it to our
patients In lieu of coffee; none have found
fault, while many have praised it highly,
and when- returned to .duty have continued
tbe use of It when U was possible, for
a soldier bas an. extremely hard time In

For the. past eight months not a grain
