HARD COAL MINERS' SCALL
Special Gorom'ttei for Anthracite Workiri
Perfect Their Deinandi.
OPERATORS ALSO HOLD A CONFERENCE
Statement that o Increase of
Wages or Other Concessions of
Air Kind Will Be
Granted.
NEW YORK, Feb. 13. The special scale
committee of the anthracite mine workers,
numbering thirty-six men, tonight held its
first meeting since coming to New York, at
which It took up the demands to be pre
sented to the operators at the conference
on Thursday. The sub-committee, which
has had charge of getting the grievance In
shape for formal presentation to the em
ployers, held an all-day session, but was
unable to complete its work. In order to
ave time tomorrow It wa decided to call
the full .committee together tonight
formally , to go over the work that has
been completed.
President ,.MIU)tu41. and the tither mem
bers of the committee.' remain- sllrnFi as to
the exact nature of the demands to he
made. - It Is understood that the miners
will put up a strong fight for a change In
the methods of the board of conciliation.
The mine workers are dissatisfied with
the present method of settling difficulties
and say there will always be friction until
a better method of adjusting disputes I
found. There Is a growing belief that If
the operators will be liberal In granting
concessions to the miners, the demand for
tho recognition of the union may not be
pressed.
Edward McKay of Pittsburg, a national
oiganlzer of the miners' union, who was
sent for by Mr. Mitchell for the purpose
of discussing .the-situation In the Pitt,
burg district Is III in a Jersey City hos
pital. He was taken sick on a train while
en route to New York. His condition '
not regarded as serious and he probably
will be able to leave the institution to
morrow. Operators Will Refuse Advance.
The anthracite mine operators, including
the presidents of the coal carrying rail,
road and several Independent operators,
came to a general agreement today as
to the policy they will pursue at the con
ference to be held on Thursday between
themselves on the one hand and the presi
dent and other representative of thj
United Mine Worker on the other. All
the president of the anthracite road and
a number of Independent operators aro
expected to be present, .and about fifteen
of the miner' committee. Including Presi
dent Mitchell. It is expected that the
miners' committee will 'put forward their
demands at the tlrt meeting. The inten
tion of the operators is then to- adjourn
the meeting Jn order to take time to con
sider their reply. The president of oue
road said to the Associated Press today
that while the operators know their posi
tion thev will not renlv huatllv- i.ut
j due consideration to the demands of the
! untfin.
! The presidents of the coal carrying roads
are unwilling to discuss for publication
the questions at Issue between themselves
and the United Mine Worker prior to their
meeting with Mr. Mitchell and his asso
ciates, but their position, elicited by care
ful canvass. Is as one president put It, such
"that the miners will have to strike or
back down."
"We do not propose," he said, "to uc
cide to their demands in any wav. and
' do not see what else they can do but
strike. They are coming Into this con
ference to demand an eight-hour day and
recognition of the union, besides other
things. It was clearly shown In the report
of the Anthracite Strike commission In
1!HC that the miners do not work eight
hours a day. and the claim is. only a dis
guised 'demand for high rate of wage
per hour, as was explained in Mr. Wilcox'
recent letter to Mr. Mitchell."
"The Anthracite commission," continued
1 the president, "also decided that it was
'. the right of the operator to employ either
unior. or nonunion miner without discrimi
nation. These are the two main point
of the demand the miners' committee will
make and both have already been decided
by an eminent commission and have been
adhered to rigorously. The miners have
no complaint to make, simply another de
mand, which." said the operator, "they
. have a perfect right to do."
"Hut," he continued, "I wish the leader
. would understand that these demands will
f not m met. We shall couch our refusal
(to meet them In the most -ourtaous and
diplomatic term and give' them every op-
J i rtunity to back down gracefully. It is
our sincere hope that there will be no
rupture. W are willing to continue under
th present arrangement, where the miners
are reoetvtng the high wage mark."

I will read tho letter over again, consider
It over night and pass on it in the morn
ing." Clear Cat Confession by Crowe.
The letter In contention in the Crowe
case, according to men who have seen It,
Is a clear-cut confession of the Cudahy
kidnaping, to nil appearances, by Crowe.
It was received by' Father Murphy at
Vail, la., and was transmitted by him to
Edward A. Cudahy. Tho most of tho
epistle is devoted to protestation that the
writer had repented and desired to lead a
new life and. would do so if given a chance.
In substance It was stated thet the writer
wa wholly responsible for the crime and
had originated It himself without the aid
of anyone else. He made the flat preposi
tion that If Mr. Cudahy would "forgive,
and forget" he would pay back $J1.0uo.
Part of this letter was Quoted by Mr.
Cudahy In a rtatement given to the news
papers at the time of Crowe's arrest at
Butte.
Signature Kei aired hr Un,
Only two witnesses took the stnnd after
the announcement by the court. They
were. Desk Sergeant Marshall and Captain
Mostyn of the police force, who gave
additional evidence on the point raised
by the defense that the signing by Crowe
of the receipt for his clothing when he left
the police station was required by tho
regulations of. the department and was not
a voluntary act on the part of the de
fendant. Yesterday afternoon Crowe filed an affi
davit asserting he Is indigent and unable
to pay advance fees and mileage to wit
nesses necessary in the defense. He asks
the court to order the witnesses paid by
the county. These are the witnesses he
wants: Hailing McFarling. Matt Rush
forth, -Matt Patters. Edward Oakley, C. E.
Skinner, William Jones and Mrs. James
Schnelderwind.
Mrs. Schnelderwind is the wife of the
man who owned the Grover street house
where young Cudahy was kept In captivity
by his captors. She was the on who
l'nade the deal with the men who rented
the house, her husband being absent when
the men called. Mr. Ritchie has frequently
asked Mr. Slabaugh in a bantering manner
why ho did not put Mr. Schnelderwind
on the stand.

LIBERAL PARTY'S PROGRAM
Calculation Before Election Completely
Upiet t Site of Majority.
MANY IMPORTANT M TTtRS ARE PENDING
Laborers and Trade tfclonlst to He
celte Much Consideration, hat
Kstent of Reform Are
Matter of Debate.
LoNDoX, Feb. 13. The lact that the
liberals have a clear majority of eighty
five over all combination between ' union
ists, nationalist and lahofites In the
new Parliament ha completely upset cal
culation as to the course of events or
probable legislation during tbo session of
Parliament for which tho members assem
bled today. Before the extent of the vic
tory had heerteallied It was expected
that the policy QC the government on many
Important Issues would be largely con
trolled by the labor party and to a
lesser extent by the nationalists, or by a
combination of the two. With a clear
majority of eighty-five behind him Sir
Henry Campbell-Bannerman can carry out
the general liberal program without run
ning much risk. But there are questions
on which the party Is not a unit and
which will cause the session to be trouble
some If not stormy. Oqe of the first and
by no means the easiest task of the new
government will be the tackling of the
education act of 1W2-J, which have been
the causes of so many long debate both
In and out of Parliament. Those who are
demanding amendment to act claim that
the mandate from' the elector Is clever
"genuine popular control: No religious
tests for teachers." There are differences
of opinion aa to how the changes are to be
carried out, but on the principle they
a gree.
atton to Par Teacher.
In detail they ask for a great proportion
of the cost of education to be a charge upon
the Imperial Exchequer; the training teach
ers to be more of an Imperial than a local
charge; the appointment of teacher to be
under local control, but that no conditions
of employment shall Include the com
pulsory giving or receiving of denomina
tional religious Instruction; that parents
have the right to send their children to
some other place lhan the., school for the
purpose of receiving specific denominational
instruction at the hand of their religious
pators; subject to this, voluntary schools
to be opened each morning With a simple
family religious service. In all thl they
expect powerful resistance on the part of
Anglicans, with .' possible combinations
against them among other denominations.
In any event a change In the education
act Is a pledge to which the liberal party
In general and the premier in particular
are positively committed.
That the act will be changed by a large
majority vote In the Commons goes with
out saying, but the difficulty in carrying
out the pledge to the people comes when
the amendments reach the HoUBe of Lords.
The disestablishment of the Anglican
church In Wales Is another question bound
to be raised, on which the different de
nominations will clash, but It is rather
early to forecast the government's Inten
tions in respect, to this.
Home Rule Far Off.
Change In the Irish policy, leading to
what the premier" describe "that larger
policy," may be . expected. Home rule Is
still far off. though Irishmen profess to
have some hope ud a result of the Intro
duction of a strong labor party. The labor
candidates were supported by Irishmen as
against -liberals.' -tMey favoring an Irish
Parliament. WKh the support of but
fifty labolite chc nationalists cannot hope
to attain their -ends, but In addition to
labor there exists- In the present Parlia
ment a homo rule- element Inside the lib
eral party. Should labor gain strength
and elect another hundred members at the
next election, absolute home rule will be
in sight. ' Modllled home rule, putting an
Irish house absolutely subservient to the
Imperial Parliament, might be an outcome
of the life of the present Parliament and
be accepted as a stop by the nationalists
and as a Compromise by the House of
Lords. There Is no reason to believe that
labor will lose the strength that It has
gained; in fact, the leaders have announced
their 'intention of - contesting every bye
election where they have the faintest
hopes of success nnd home ruler claim
that absolute home, rule will come with
the next elections. Tho greatest question
at present, however, is: What will be
the policy of the fifty labor member who
have secured s"al at Westminster? There
are two distinct groups of labor members,
but on the main subject In which labor Is
Interested they are agreed. The parlia
mentary committee of the Trades Union
congress, which endorsed thirty of
the fifty successful lubor candidates,
has drawn up a general program
which Includes a trades dispute bill; amend
ment of the compensation act; amendment
of the truck act; amendment of the factory
acts; amendment of the unemployed act;
abolition of Chinese labor in South Africa;
establishment of a state pension fund at l0
years of age; extension of the housing of
Uie working classes act; establishment of
an eight-hour working day, adult suffrare
and generall;- for the maintenance of fret
trade; amendment of the education act;
popular control of the liquor trade; exten
sion of municipal trading and nationaliza
tion of means of transit and natural re
sources In the kingdom. The trades dis
pute bill is placed first by laboiites, as it
aims nl restoring the legal status of trade
unions which was denied by the Taff Vale
decision.
State Insurance Saaarestrd.
Among the amendment proposed lo the
compeubation act is one providing "that
some system of state compulsory Insurance
should be established which will secure that
employes shall have paid the necessAry
funds to condensate for all accident or
Injury, or for disease arising out of or
Incidental to the nature of any employ
ment." The amendments to the truck act aim at
"preventing stoppage of any description
from wages.' The amendment of the un
employed act Is desired "so that employ
ment can be found at trade union rates for
those unnMo to And work." The old age
pension proposal is the establishment of a
scheme to provide all citizens over f years
of age with a pension of at least S shillings
a week, the emtire cost to be borne by the
Imperial exchequer. The miners' delegates
brought the eight-hour working day to the
front, but the trades union congress pro
poses that any union, if it so wishes, can
have Us trade exempted. There la also a
difference of opinion respecting adult suf

Use would be to belle their professions of

a sessional policy will be decided upon.
Nreriless to say each measure Introduced
by the government will be judged upon Its

will be under the necessity of taking Its
bearings and of deciding how far Its duty
consists In giving a general support to the
government or of entering upon a militant
policy to force the hands of the govern

Hardie expects the first conflict between
the labor members and the government
to arise over the question of legislation to
restore freedom of action to the trade
unions.

will ask Parliament to consider, and If tho
labor members have their way a great

their bills.
I.nwther Chosen President.
James William Lawther was unanimously
re-elected speaker of the House of Com
mon today. In accordance with precedent
there was no opposition. The house after
ward adjourned until tomorrow without
transacting any other business. The swear
ing In of members will occupy the rest of
tho week. Nearly of the member are
entirely new to Parliamentary Ufa as a re
sult of the upheaval caused by the general
election.
Liberals Meet Tomorrow.
Thursday's unionist meeting at Lans
downehouse is not likely to present any ex
citing features. It is understood that Mr.
Chamberlain has abandoned the Idea of
presenting a formal resolution on the tariff
question. Mr. Balfour will preside and de
liver a speech dealing with the leading
points of the unionist policy. The principal
outcome of the meeting will be the appoint
ment of a committee to investigate the
party machinery.
Spared the humiliation of another election
contest Mr. Palfnur will reappear In the
house a fortnight hence as the leader of the
opposition.
Mr. Chamberlain did not make his appear
ance In tho House of Commons yesterday.
It wa remarked of the aspect of the house
that everything had changed except the

For.ificitioos Bill.
ANIMATED DEBYTE IN THE HOUSE
Lax Kspendltare- of I'nblle Money
Come In for F.mtended Criticism
lonn Man Wngnesla
Hemedy.
WASHINGTON. Fob. 13.-The fortinca
tlcns appropriation bill held the attention
of the house today and was toe text for
corsWerable heated argument first, over
the lax method of expenditure of public
moneys and, second, over the location of
I lie proposed $15,000,000 naval station for the
Philippine. Mr. Gillespie (Tex.) made an
unsuccessful attempt to get Into the record
a statement of grievances of the coal op
erators and shippers of Pennsylvania and
the democratic leader, Mr. William Inau
gutated a filibuster over the question of
adjeurnment a a retaliation.
Mr. Smith (la.), in charge of the fortifi
cations bill, advanced the Idea of vitalizing
ten of the committees of the house charged
with supervision of expenditures In tiie va
rious government departments. He advo
cated an amendment to (he rules which will
ccn.pel reports from these committees an
nually, these report to be the result of in
vestigation regarding government expendi
ture. He urged this as a preventive of
bureaucracy," toward which he saw a
present tendency.
Mr. ftmlth Kxplnlns Measure,
A'. 1 o'clock the house took up the formi
cations appropriation bill with an agree
ment to limit the debate to three and
half hours.
Details of the bill were explained by-
Mr. Smith da.j In explaining the sums
spent for fortifications Mr. Smith said the
amount since 1888 had been $11!U02.4-S3. Al
though the plan of the Taft board had
not been made public, he could state un
officially that It contemplated' a further
expenditure of $iu,ono,0u0. To maintain a
skeleton artillery organization to hold these
fortifications would entail an annual cost
of $3.000,0110. Of th amount appropriated
$60o.00 wna to he expended for batteries In
the Philippines and Hawaii. It wa the !
policy not to make appropriation definite
in order that the works constructed mignt
not be revealed to the world. However,
he said Hawaii was to get about $200,000
and the Philippines $40u.000.
Before Mr. Smith closed he reverted again
to the oil painting question. He said: "To
day in the other department these oil
paintings, alleged works of art, supposed
to portray the features of long-forgotten
statesmen, have so accumulated that they
have to hang them in double and triple
tiers upon the walls, and the uuestlun Is
now, not where to get oil paintings to go
on the walls, but where to get the, walls
on which to hang the paintings."
Mr. Alexander (N. Y.) defended the au
diting system and in reply Mr. Tawney
stated that despite the perfect system of
auditing It had been ascertained by the
appropriations committee that many ap
propriations were diverted.
HTal Station In Philippine
The discussion then turned entirely on
the proposed naval station In the Philippine
islands. Mr. Fitzgerald opposed the estab
lishment of a station on Subig bay. with a
contemplated expenditure of $15,000,000.
I'ntil the policy of the government wa set
tledwhether we were to or were not to re
tain th'.- Inlands he urged that no expendi
ture be mado for permanent defense at
Subig bay.
Mr. Longworth (O.) Interjected the state
ment that both Generals Corbln and Wood
were now opposed to expenditures at Subig.
If this were so Mr. Fitzgerald expressed
the opinion that In view of the Influence
with the administration of these two offi
cers their view would prevail.
Chairman Foss (III.) of the naval com
mittee discredited the opinion of Generals
Corbln and Wood. He would accept their 1
advice as to the location of fortifications,
but not as to naval stations. As to Cavite
he said It was impossible to gel a battle
ship within two miles of the naval station.
There waa 110 other place, he said, beside
tiublg bay to moor the enormous dry dock
now on lis way to (lie Philippines.
Coal Petition Tarned Down.
When at 4:36 o'clock general debate had
been exhausted Mr. Hrnlth. In charge of the
bill, moved that the committee of the whole
rise so that adjournment might be had.
Mr. Ulllespic .Tex I, who had made one ef
fort to g't piloted In the record a petition
he had received from the bituminous coa!
operators and shippers of Pennsylvania.,
seitlng forth their grievances, made a sec.
ond attempt, but Mr. Payne (N. Y.) mad
objection, whereupon Mr. Williams, the
minority leader,' took tho mailer in hand
and fought the motion to ud.lourn. A iIhIih
vote, a vote by tellers and then a roll end
fnlluwsd. The roll call carried the motinn
10U to 'A and adjournment wu declared at
5:lo o'clock.
