"Tho only way the can) abolish favor itism nnd bo assured living wages is to forco the adoption of a minimum wage scale." Hkru.v, March II The German coal strike in on. Advices received from every bectlon of the Prussian cold fields say that the men are obeying the order to quit work even better than their leaders an tlclpated.g There are 350.000 miners, and It is said that SO per cent, have cuiit work. In some districts the stoppage was almost total, while In others it was only 30 per cent, or thereabouts. There was n noticeable increase in the number of strikers In some of tho mining districts in the evening, This was par ticularly tho case at Essen, where the women assembled at the mouths of the pits In nn effort to tiersuado tho nignt fchifts not to descend into the mines. Tho entire Held will be completely paralyzed within forty-eight hours, the utriko leaders say. The men, in accord ance with their leader's plans, are work ing out their llnnl day to the last second. Then, after storing their tools and ap plimccs, they are leaving for their homes. The strike has beon accompanied by no violence except at Kssen. where 400 miners cbslicd with the police. Seven men were unbred nnd many moro arrested. The htrikers attacked and blinded a coworker who refused to join them. Tho strike leaders for a week have been impressing on their fellows the necessity of obeying the law. It is pointed out that the forco of police and military on duty bus teen moro than doubled and that the orders hnve leen given that In case of t rouble the union officers are to be arrested in the expectation that the men, finding themselves leaderless, will return to work. To avoid this tho men havo been asked to keep away from the mines. In the Mrike notices the leaders point out that non-union miners lack experience and that if they are permitted to work unmo lested they will soon demonstrate this. Then it is lielieved the operators will de cide to grant the demands of the strikers. Kssen, Germany, Muroh 11. Seventy five thousand coal miners in the Ruhr region struck to-day, according to the leaders, and their number is expected to he doubled within a few days. The Christian Socialists refused to join in the strike, although they approve of the de mands for increased wages and better working conditions. Eighty district meetings were held yesterday and the 150,000 miners who Attended voted almost unanimously for n strike. They agreed to abstain from liquor and be orderly. Mounted police patrolled the district affected by the strike to-day, but no violence was re ported up to noon. Official figures for a part of the Essen district show that of 170,888 miners em ployed, 112,109, or 85 per cent., havo con tinued at work. The non-strikers are unmolested when they are going to and from their work and a large foroe of policemen posted at intervals along the fctreets have had no occasion to interfere. The effect of the strike is not yet notice able on industry in general, nor on the prices of the necessaries of life. The iron works in Westphalia, in the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg and in Lorraine are re ported to have supplies of coal sufficient to ennble them to carry on for three weeks. Paris. March 11. The French miners planned tbelr striko for twenty-four hours lo-day as mi object lesson. The union leaders wished to demonstrate to the publio to their employers and to the Government that their demands are just and that they are ready to use tho strike weapon to enforce them. The demands include an eight hour workday, a pension of 2 francs n day for all workers over 50 years old, and a mini mum wage scale similar to that the 1,000, British miners are striking for. It wu.i deemed advisable to make the demonstration to-day, because it was felt it would be moro effective with the Eng lish and German strikes in progress. If the lossen do. not grunt the demands a general strike of French miners is prob able. It was believed here to-day that the Ilolgian miners would refuse to work If it general striko were declared in France. There is iiImi some disaffection among tho workers in south Europe, und the labor war may oven spread there, the leaders say. COAL REPLY READY. The Beit Smtll Cir Monty Cin Bui. Mstor.

Testimony Showing They Are Enormous Through Roads It Controls. Washington. March 11. Testimony tending to show a close relationship l-c-1 tween rtilroads and tho United States Steel Corporation wan given before the. Stanley committee on inquiry to-day by I M. Freer, a transportation expert. Mr rreer submitted figures that appeared to show that tho Steel Corporation makes enormous profits through the operr.tiotis 1 of roads owned or controlled by it. Itepunlicon members sought to prorcr.t Mr. Freer from r.dvancing his opiuion as to the reasonablonet-s of rales imposed on trafflo carried over the steel road, but Chairman Stanley, who was supported by the other IVmooratie members of tho committee, insi-ded tliat the witness should 1)C permitted to testify along these lines. Mr. Freer presented figures showing that the Duluth, MWsaho and Northern Kailrood made n return of 210 per cent, on its capital in 1910. when the ore rate from tho mine to I.al:it Suiierior wait Ml ceittB a ton. Tlvi Pittsburg .Htcaimditp Company, another corjiorution subsidiary, yielded big returns, according to Mr. Freer. Mr. Freer had considerable difficulty n testifying regarding thj ore rates in the I.ako Superior region WaUMi the Republican members maintained that he had not made a si ecialty of ore rates. Tho witness qualified as a general ex pert on transportation question, Rep resentatives Gardiner, Young und Dan forth amiealed from the decision or the choir when Mr. Stanley atked Freer if he regarded an 80 cent rate on ore from I.ako Superior points to Duluth as "reasonable." Chairman Stanley was uphold by the committee on a party vote of 5 to 4 and Freer was permitted to answer. He said that the rato was "unreasonable." I). A. Reed, counsel for the United States Steel Corporation, also objected to Freer's testimony, marking tho point that the witness had never personally investigated the oH'ration of the Duluth, Mitsahe and Northern and tho Iron range railroads, which are steel trust subsidiaries. "What is a reasonable rate on this ore?" asked Representative Hartlett of Georgia, after Freer hud characterized the So cent rato as excessive. "I should dislikn to gay without further information about the maintenance, pmi and operation of the road." Freer replied. iHwiiig inn cumulations on a report issued by the Interstate Commerce Com mission, the witness told thn rnmmltt..,. that it cost thn steel trust only 24 cents a ton to transport oro which lias heretofore been hauled under an 80 cent rate. The rato was reduced recently to 00 cents a ton. 8,380 Bottles of Catsup Belied. BtrrrAi.o, March 11.

AM'ast, March It. Word pased around tho Senatorial circuit to-night that the Democratic Senators were to hold n caucus to-morrow or Wednesday und decido to reject Gov. Dix's nomina tion or Ilcrliert P. Hissell of Buffalo to bo a member of tho np-Stato Public Ser vice Commission, The Republican Sena tors hnve decided already In caucus to vote against Mr. HIssoU's confirmation. Those who are In tho confidence of Gov. DK Intimate that ho will not be bully ragged nnd bulldozed In this fashion. On tho other hand thoso who havo been studying tho Governor for tho last year have no doubt he will glvo In. Tho Republican and Democratic floor leaders of the Assembly agreed to-night to ixntpone until next Wednesday the debate on Assemblyman Hlnman's con current resolution proposing to rescind the, action of the legislature of last year In committing this State to the Federal Income tax Constitutional amendment .Wsmhlyman Hinmin sild there was no doubt but that the resolution would be adopted In the Houe despite the fact thpt party lines would be slpit on the question. There was not an attendance of mem bers large enough to warrant discussing the resolution. Tho Assembly is trying to havo all bills discussed on the order of final pas sage instead of on second reading and then on the third reading again. Because of this fnct it was agreed to auVance the Hinman resolution without debate and havo it discussed and acted upon im mediately after the House convenes on Wednesday. When the Ae:nbly convened Assem blyman Andrew T. Murray got tho per sonal privilege of making a statement relative to the Goldberg bill, which would restore transfers on the surface lines In Manhattan. Mr. Murray said ho had been misrepresented because he voted against the Goldberg bill, which failed of passage lust week. He explained his opposition to thai measure, saying he was In favor of transfers, but believed the matter should be nettled by the Pub lic Service Commission and not by the I,egLlature. Ho pointed out that the Pub He Service OommlMon of the First dis trict hail already isttd an order that trunfcrs be Ustind. Hu'inhlrted thut if the railroads did not conform to thi mandate the court could determine whether or not they should. Mr Murruy nrgued that if the Lis luturo was going to Ignore the Public S;rvico liimnlsion, which it creat-l, It might just as well nliolW) the two com missions. ToencourHgellegislntion Inter fering with Its powers, ho added, would lx to open the gates nt Albany for Iho return of iho "Black Horse Cavalry." the " Third House," tho "man with the pistol" nnd "the man with the dough bag." Ho made It plain tint he would talk the effort'! or any of tlie S'eetfootcd pirate of the old days to gst luck into the Legis lature. Ho put in u bill whieli he believed would mnke it imiH-.hsible in the luture for unv railroad to ignore the man dues of the Publio Servic' ( ommiivlon and also would end excuses for railroad lobbies at Albany. Mr. Murray's bill would prohibit all imblin utilities corporations from appeal ing from the decisions of the Public Ser vice Coiui'ii'slon of the First District. Ho declared the panigt) or his bill would liave precisely the same effect ns though the Goldberg bill nsed. lie wanted his bill advanced to second rend inr. hut objection was made, Senator Hrackett introduced and had advanced to tho third reading with refer ence a bill regulating tho payment of persons who solicit signatures of voters to indeeiident nominating etltious. Ho wild the bill wa aimed to prevent "poor mouthed" solicitors from degging names on the plea that they got 10 or IS cents a name. The bill provides that these canvassers must be paid by the day. He ret-onted tho uuggestlon of Majority Leader Wagner that the bill was aimed at the solicitors for the Rooscveltnrlmary petitions In New York city. Another bill introduced by Senator Hrackett provides that where a person flies with the County Clerk a waiver of immunity from prosecution ho may testify in any proceeding and not havo such immunity. This would cover the case of Scbiff and Gans, whom District Attorney Whitman and Commissioner Hand did not call as witnesses under tho plea that irthey testified full immunity followed, The Senate passed tho Senate bill de sired by the Judges of the Court of Ap peals, appropriating $300,000 to turn the State House into a Htato court house for the Court of Appeals. Senate Spends Nearly Two Hours In Discussing Ills Nomination. WAsniNaTOtf, March 11. For nearly two hours the Senate In executive session to-day oonsldored tho nomination of Mahlon B. Pitney of New Jersey for Asso ciate Justice of tho Supremo Court. Sen ator Culberson of Toxns opened tho do bate In opposition to contlrnntlon. It was on motion of Senator Culberson that the opinion of tho Court of KrroM and Appeals of Now Jersey rendered by Mr. Pitney ns Chancellor In Iho caso of the Goorgo Jonas Glass Company against .the International Glass Bottlo Blowers Association wan printed as a public docu ment. This opinion, which upheld un Injunction issued against tho striking bottlo blowers In ttlilch tho workmen wore enjoined from using coercion or persuasion to bring about breaches of j contract f ar personal servlcj nnd wore also enjoined from picketing und from employing a boycott, is the linsls of much of Iho opposition to tho confirmation of Judge Pitney. The principal speech to-day was by Senator Roed of Missouri, who was vorv bitter In his opposition to confirmation Although the doors were closed and the session was intended to le secret Senator Reed's voice was pitched so high that It could be hoard In the corridors outside, and much of which he snld wns nudlble to poople passing tlirough tho Capitol corridors. The effect of his speech In the estimation of somo Senators tended tTithor to enhance Mr. Pitnoy's chincos for confirmation, notwithstanding it was intended to wcakon his caso.
