I lELJSEKl aS& and Sixteenth Streets 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." SCIJANTON. Pa.. Feb. lJ.-The mineis Tlcc. I-Vb. lit. V.i. Notion Special.

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.

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.

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.

Kelt- Hardie, the leader of the group supported by the labor representative com mittee, In an article ha pointed out that he and hi follower have "no option but to sit In opposition, since to do anything Use would be to belle their professions of political Indetiendence. In all prohhlity a sessional policy will be decided upon. Nreriless to say each measure Introduced by the government will be judged upon Its merits, but from time to time the party 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 ment In respect to certain measures. Mr. 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. lAbor has many questions which they will ask Parliament to consider, and If tho labor members have their way a great part of , the session will be devoted to their bills.

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.
