BRIEF OF ANTHRACITE OPERATORS
Mr. Wlllcox States That Men Are Wow
Working- Less Than Eight Hoars.
NEW TORK, Feb. .-Preldent David
Wlllcox of the Delaware & Hudson com
pany ' today made public the text of the
letter which he wrote to John Mitchell,
president of the United Mine Workers of
America, concerning a conference between
the mine workers and the operators to
discuss the wage question.
In his letter Mr. Wlllcox says that prac
tically all members at present involved
have already been the subject of arbitra
tion by the anthracite strike commission.
He aays that in 1903-3 the commission
found that the average hours actually
worked per day did not exceed six for the
miners and eight for the other employes,
and the present conditions are substantially
the same. In the case of the Delaware A
Hudson company during 1906, the .average
number of hours worked per day by the
employes, other than the miners, was about
seven and one-quarter houra per day; the
average number of hours worked per day
by the miners was slightly over six and
one-half hours per day. Any suggestion of
an etght-hour day for the employes by the
day does not therefore look to a dtmutil
tlon of hours of labor, as they do not av
erage eight houra per day, but merely to a
change of wages by Increasing the rate per
hour so as to advance the wages about 12.6
per cent above the standard fixed by the
strike commission. This advance would
amount approximately to I cents per ton
of coal, or . on the entire product about
(4,800,000 per annum.
Mr. Wlllcox devotee much space- to an
argument tending to' show that conditions
have not changed since the award of the
strike commission. He continues:
It is true that the award of the strike
commission ceases to be controlling as to
future conditions after March 31, 1904j, but
Its decision alter protracted investigation
must be regarded by any other tribunal
and by disinterested persons as conclusive
In the absence of some new facts raising
new cuestlons:

be In harmony with that already made.
All arrangements necessary In the prem-

bars of the conciliation board, aa they

The conditions established by the atrike
commission followed after very serious con
troversy were the result of probably the
most conscientious and exhaustive exami
nation ever given to any labor controversy,
on the whole have proved satisfactory and
have not even been the subject of very
serious criticism. It therefore does not
seem desirable to abandon the results
reached with such difficulty 'and so val
uable In themselves, and resort to new
methods which are uncertain and difficult.
As already said there Is no association or
organization of the producers of anthracite
coal; but even If there were any arrange
ment between parties purporting to repre

The letter concludes aa follows:
The aurgestlons are made In the Interest
of the public and of all the parties for tho
purpose of- avoiding future difficulties by
rontlm'lng whatever beneficial results fol
lowed by the settlement of the strike of
1D02. It Is earnestly hoped that they will
commend themselves to the best Judgment
of all as the proper course, and as far
wiser than entering UTon new and uncer
tain methods of procedure.
Appended to the letter la 4 table under
the caption, '"Comparison of Earnings In
the Anthracite and Bituminous Mining In
dustries of Pennsylvania," ahowlng that
the yearly earnings of all classes of anthrg
lite employes were 28 per cent greater than
those of , the bituminous employes. The
yearly earnings of the anthracite miner
were more than to per cent greater than
those of the bituminous miners.
A meeting of the bperators of the anthra
cite roads is fixed for early next week to
discuss among themselves their aide of the
coal controversy before going into the

ing some new coal mines sixteen miles east
of this place. Carpenters are building
bouses, other workmen are . drilling for
water and graders are . constructing a
branch Una connecting the mines with the
Union Pacific main line at Thayer station.
The mines will be equipped with modern
machinery and a large mining camp will
be established. Frank Manley, formerly
chief engineer for the Union Pacific Coal
company, will be the superintendent of the
new camp.
HANNA, Wyo., Feb. I. (Speclal.)-The
Union Pacific Coal company has opened old
No. t mine, which has been closed for
many years, and t Is expected this colliery j
wm aaa materially to tne output oi coai
from this camp during the year. The mine
waa closed down because the locomotives
using the coal set the prairies on fire. This
was In the days of the old diamond stack.
Since then experiments with stack screens
and the extension front end on locomotives
has shown that -coal from No. I can be
used with as much aafety aa that from
any other mine. The coal Is a splendid
steamer and the railroad company will
welcome it back on the road. It Is ex
pected that before the close of the year
a force of not less than 200 men will be
employed In the reopened workings. Loco
motives are now burning the coal between
Laramie and Rawltna and the results are
being watched closely by officials of the
motive power department. i -

SUGGESTION FROM STATIST

ASKS UNITED STATES TO INTERVENE
Thinks tncle Sam las Safely
tndertake Daty of Policing
the Domala of the
Saltaa.
LONDON, Feb. .-The Statist, one of the
leading financial weeklies of Great Britain,
drals this week with the Algeciras con
fpTence in a Jong leader. The artfcle pre
dicts a failure to reach a conclusion satis
factory to France and consequently con
tinued uneasiness in the commercial world,
while at the same time the writer be
lieves that war will not result. The point
of the Statist's conclusions Is that Presi
dent Roosevelt alone can save the situa
tion "Just as. he alone was able to bring
about peace between Russia and Japan."
The Statist, after dealing with the crux
of the situation, namely, the policing of
Morocco, upholds France's right to demand
that It should be given power to maintain
order and to maintain a police force. The
paper does hot believe from present Indica
tions that Germany will yield the point,
that country preferring to humiliate France
with the result of tying up for an Indefi
nite period the Immense sums of money
now held Inactive in France. "The small
powers," says the article, "are afraid to
meddle between Germany and France and
England cannot do anything that would
seem contrary either to the .spirit of the
letter of the Anglo-French sgreement.
Job for the Vnlted States.
"Russia has too much to do at home and
Austria-Hungary is too much distracted.
There remains, then, only the United
States. If the United States Is willing to
undertgke the policing of Morocco every
body wll, ha), wltn acnght its readiness to
ssume an unpleasant responsibility for
the sake of preserving the peace of the
world. Nobody would attempt to dictate
to the United States, yet everybody knows
that the United States ts lmpartiul and by
undertaking the policing would not entangle
Itself In treaties, would not Incur any dan
ger and would not impose upon 'Itself any
gratuitous expense.
"In turn It would 'sweep away the
danger of war between two great European
nationa, a war, which if it broke out,
would in all probability spread and ulti
mately become world wide. We trust that
for the sake of maintaining the world's
peace the United States will in this case
willingly depart from Its settled policy."
Moroccan Customs 'Report.
ALGECIRAS. Spain. Feb. 8. A plan for
reorganisation of the customs of Morocco
will be submitted to the conference tomor
row. ,
The Moroccan delegates have received the
reply of the sultan regarding the proposed
regulations for - the suppression of trade
In contraband arms. The sultan approves
of the regulation except wherein they pro
vide for the deatructlon of confiscated mili
tary weapons. He demands that serviceable
armament sha.ll be used for the equipment
of Moroccan troops and that those useless
for military purposes be sold abroad, the
proceed going to the Moroccan treasury.
The reply will be communicated to the
conference tomorrow.
Franc Will Stand Pnt.
PARIS, Feb. . The semi-official Temp
thi afternoon, referring to the Moroccan
situation, said: "There appears no doubt
that publio opinion In France la unanlmoua
with reference to policing Morocco. The
Interests of other having been aafeguarded
the hour ha arrived for the protection of
the apeclal right of France. No doubt the
government with the knowledge that the
whole country is behind It will take a firm
stand during the discussion of this deli
cate point at the conference."
LEOPOLD CHARGED WITH GRAFT
King of Belgians Accused of Absorb
ing; flS,OOO,O0O In Fronts Off
Congo Rnbbcr Trade.
LONDON, Feb. lu. The Standard this
morning draws attention to the alleged,
revelations contained In a book on the
Congo Free State, published at Paris and
Brussels by the Belgian,, Prof. Cattler,
indicating that during the past decade
King Leopold has drawn an amount esti
mated at 16,000,XO from the rubber trade
In the Congo (Domaine De La Couronne),
there being no1 trace of this In the pub
lished account of the Congo administra
tion. The newspaper in an editorial saws:
If It can be verified that such an Income
waa drawn, while it has been represented
that doubtful expedients were employed in
the Congo in order to avoid the carrying
on of the business at a loss, the conscience
of Europe will be atlrred to Its depths.
BRUSSELS, Feb. . Prof. Fellcian Cat
tier of the Free University of Brussels
haa published a pamphlet on the situation
In the Congo Free State, which contain
several hitherto unpublished documents
showing that the crown domain, which
practically ia King Leopold's personal,
property, consists of 2S3.S7S square kilo me
ters, or an area two and a half time the
alse of England,: bringing him profits on
India rubber alone of $16,147,0 0 during the
laat ten year. Prof. Cattltr recalls the
fact that Premier De Sraet De Naer de
clared In the Chamber of Deputies In 1900
that the profits of the crown domain would
be exclusively applied to t!i creation of
establishments of material, moral and in
tellectual utility, whereas the official docu
ment adduced ahow that the profit have
been used for the acquisition of real estate
In Brussels and Ostend alone to the value
of $S.665,000. as well aa property In many
other towna In Belgium. The author fore
aeea a a result of all thla that grave dif
ficulties will arise when the succession to
the throne of Belgium and the Congo Free
State come up.
The revelatlone of Prof. Cattler have
oaused a great sensation. The socialist
leader. Van Der Velde, will Interpellate
the ministry In the Chamber of Deputies
on Tuesday with reference to the matter,
