It. H. Hammond of the Illinois operators
was willing to leave the differences to' a
commission. '

President Mitchell replied to Mr. Ham
mond: "If Mr. Hammond," said he. "wants to
close his. cqnl mini's forever he will tlud

again." , ; ,
This statement wus loudly applauded by
the miners..
"The American people." said Mr. Mitch
ell, "are, going to ask and Insist upon
knowing .why the operauu cannot pay an
advance or 3 cents a ton. And we are go
ing to ask you why you can now charge
tha American people an advance of $1 per
too and not be ablu to pay us an advance
of 1 cents a ton. During the last two
weeks the' American people (and I do not
mean the railroads) have been compelled
to pay at the mines mor than $1 more
per ton. Mr. Hammond says he will
show us the books of the Peering Coal
company. I ask him If he will also let us
see the books of the Rock Island Railroad
company.

V. Bobbins called for President Mlh
Mi's motion to restore the scale of 1908 and
moved to amend it by making Jt cover a
period of two years. President . Mitchell
seconded this motion, subject to the rati
fication by the miners' convention. Mr.
Robbins opened the debate on the motion.
He referred to the .personalities that had
been indulged In and' said to the operators
If they hsd spent more time In trying to
make a acale and less In trying to prevent
one, more could have been accomplished.
He said he would rather have the 1M scale
lor two year than be compelled to stir up
ine country next year over a renewal of
the controversy and so Invite congressional
sctlon that Ls not wanted. '
Mr. Robbins was applauded when he' said
the miners were entitled to some of the
present prosperity of the country. He said
the crisis wss at Hand and he asked the
miners whstever might be the final outcome
that they remember their families snd
themselves and In the Interest of organised
labor sgree to sign, the advanced scale
where offered. The' miners owed, this to
themselves, to fairness. 'and the' president
of the Vnltcd States. His remarks were
applauded. ' ''
J. E. Zerbe of the'ohio operators said in
many years this was the first scale, confer
ence where motives had been Impugned and
Invectives had been hurled. "';
"Let the gentleman from Penniylvaiilu,"
said he, "raise the wages of his men who
are working for IS cents leas than' the acale
we are paying you. Let thla dirty coking
coal cease to be sold on the markets for
steam coal. I know one tnsu who said h
made tllW.Ou a year doing this. If Mr.
Robbins was houuat In January, there , la
nothing in the market that warrants a
change of sentiment." . - .
After a number of . other operators hsd
spoken. President Mitchell moved an ad
journment of the Joint conference be taken
until p. in. tomorrow', as he said a session
of .the miners' national convention would be
necessary before the miners could vot on

Matter laaerted hy the
Committee.'
WASHINGTON. SJarch at.-Mi. Knox
made his first set speech In the senate to
day. He spoke on the railroad rate ques
tion, snd deslt almost exclusively with the
legal features of the problem. When Mr
n.mx conciuueu ine senate entered upon
the consideration of the conference repor
on the bill regulating the final disposition
of the affairs of the five civilised tribes o
Indians, and much objection was expressed
to many of the changes. Some of these
were criticised on the ground that the con
ference committee lisd transcended its au
thority by the insertion of new matter
There was a renewal of the discussion of
the disposal of the coal lands In Indian
Territory, snd several senators, Including
Messrs. LaFolletts. Clark (Wyo.) and Till
man, expressed' disapproval of the confer
enoe provision authorising the secretary of
the Interior to lease lands.
Speech by Mr. Knox.
Wien, the senate nitit today Mr. Lodge
Offered an amendment to the railroad rate
bill, making It apply to pipelines for the
transportation of oil. Mr. Daniel presented
an amendment to the same bill making rail
roads' liable for damage to employes.
The resolution calling upon the Inter
state Commerce commission for Informs'
Hon relative to free transportation. Includ
Ing tickets Issued to., newspapers In pay
for advertising, was passed without op-
poition.
The railroad rale bill wss then taken up
ana Air. Knox presented his views. This
was Mr. Knox's first sustained effort !n
the senate and he was accorded close at
tentlon by a well filled chamber.
"It is obvious that a law conferring the
tremendous power which It Is proposed by
all the . bills under consideration to con
fer upon the commission to substitute one
rate or practice for another, must be
drawn upon one of two theories: Upon the
theory that the order of the commission
shall be final and not . reviewable by the
courts, or upon the theory that It shall
be reviewable by the courts. I have no
hesitation in saying, upon the authority
of the cases which have already been sub
mitted to the senate by the distinguished
senators, who have participated In this
debate that u bill drawn upon the theory
that the orders of the commission shall
be final and unassailable In the courts
would be unconstitutional."
The railroads are entitled to their day in
court and that an act which prevents a
Judicial review or determination of the
question of the reasonableness of an order
ui me commission would deprive the. car
riers of this constitutional right and would
therefore be unconstitutional. Mr. Knox
said that In his bill he, had undertaken to
preserve the constitutionality of purpose
of the measure and to throw around the
provision for the review such constitutional
restrictions and terms as would prevent
unnecessary or frivolous, appeals to defeat
tt. . ..
me ena oi tne remedial legislation. His
court review section, he said, provides that
tne question to be submitted to th. .,..t
Is solely whether the qrder of the commit.

When Knox' concluded .the conference r.
port on the bill 'settling the affairs of tha

Notwithstanding that this appears to have

waa regarded as paramount to precedent. It
waa adopted after an illuminating debate of
an hour by a vote of 169 to 109, twenty re

remainder of the day was devoted to enn-
alderatlon of the bill and more progress
was made than In all the daya heretofore

The house went Into committee of the

Mr. Brooke (Colo.) offered an amendment
increasing the appropriation for the Denver

Mr. Bouthard (O.) moved that tha mint at

Out Wonderful Result From
APPLICATION OF
CUT1CUBA REMEDIES
"I am never without Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment since I tried
them last-summer. About the latter
part of Julv my whole body began to
itch. I did. not take much notice of it
at first, but it began to get worse all the
time, and then I began to get uneasy
and Vied all kinds of baths and other
remedies that were recommended for
skin humors; but I became worse all
the time. My hair began to fall 6ut and
my scalp itched all the time. Espe
cially at night, just as soon ss I would
get in bed and get warm, ray whole body
would begin to itch ana my finger nails
would keep it irritated, and it was not
long before I could not rest night or day.
A friend askl me to try the Cuticura,
Remedies, and 1 did, And the first appli
cation helped me wonderfully. For
bout four weeks I would take a hot
bath every night end then apply the
Cuticura Ointment to my whole body;
and I kept getting better, and by the
time I used four boxes of Cuticura I was
entirely cured, and my hair stopped
failing out, but I continue to use the
Cuticura on my scalp. It keeps all dan
druff out nd scalp is always clean. I
always use Cuticura Ointment on my
face after shaving, and have found
nothing to equal it. I will never be
without it." D.nBhwkenahip,
