TRADES COUNCIL
HOLOS IIS MEETING
Plans for Coming Trades Car
nival Are Discussed
3 ALTERNATE DELEGATES
President Samuel Gompers, Secretary
Frank Morrison and President
John Mitchell Are Expected to
be Here at Carnival.
The Birmingham Trades Council met in
regular session at Bricklayers’ hall yes
terday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock, Presi
dent P. H. Moore presiding. Alternate
delegates were elected to the American
Federation of Labor, plans for the com
ing street oarnlval were discussed and a
number of important matters disposed of.
Chairman B. W. Brumley of the exec
utive committee on the trades carnival,
reported the progress that had been made
toward the entertainment for the labor j
temple to be given tne week of November j
30. He said that such attractions as Kil- |
Patrick’s famous ride down 300 wooden !
stairs, the slide for life, the sailors
perch, Mrs. Murphy in a monkey balloon
ascension, the electric fountain, Achille
Phillion’B spiral tower and many other
such attractions had been engaged for
the carnival court.
The street car company has assured the
executive committee that cars will bo
operated on Seventeenth street by the
time the carnival opens with a grand il
luminated arch at Seventeenth street and
Second avenue. This wrill be a great ad
vantage in handling the crowds. The
railroads will also make special rates for
the affair.
President Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor. Secretary
Frank Morrison, President John Mitchell
of the United Mine Workers, and the
members of the executive council of the
American Federation of Labor have been
Invited to the carnival. They will be
passing this way on their way to the
twenty-second annual '.onvention of the
federation at New Orleans the Thursday
following the carnival. L Is expected
that they will all attend the same day
and special arrangements will be made
to entertain them.
Delegates Selected.
The call for the convention of the Amer
ican Federation was read and an elec
tion for alternate delegate was held. The
nominees were F. X. Waldhorst, J. H. P.
Mosley and B. W. Brumby. Mr. Brumby
was elected on the second ballot.
The office of vice president was declared
vacant owing to the resignation of T. C.
McCain, and Len Teat or the Tinners
union was elected to the office.
Grievances of the Carriage and Wagon
makers against local concerns were con
sidered, and two placed on the unfair
list. The carriage-workers are introduc
ing their label and are recognized in sev

ANIMAL LOVERS
MAKE PETS SICK
VEGETABLES AND FRUITS CON
TRIBUTED BY VISITORS TO ZOO
LOGICAL PARKS CAUSE VETERI
NARY SLEEPLESS HOURS.
Very few persons who annually visit
the circus at Madison Square Garden
have any idea how many sleepless hours
they cause the show’s veterinary surgeon
and his corps of assistants through their
generosity to the animals of the menag
erie.
All through the winter season the mon
keys and wild beasts of the Forepaugh
& Sells circus are kept in the winter
quarters at Columbus, O., and are fed
on what they should have and not what
they crave. As soon as they are placed
on exhibition at the Garden they start
on a royal vegetarian debauch which
lasts all summer. While unprepared for
such a flood of luxuries, not a single
brute, from the biggest elephant to the
tiniest monkey, has been known to lessen
his receipts by refusing to accept any
thing edible offered, and the invariable
result is indigestion.
To many persona the fact that a mon
key was sufferng from colic or that a
rhinoceros had developed a case of housc
mand's knee would seem a trivial occur
rence, but to the veterinary surgeon of
the Forepaugh ^ Sells Brothers circus it
means infinitely more. He fears the com
plications which may set in and destroy
rare animals.
Passing along the menagerie me vei
. looks at each animal. Put your tongue
out and say ‘ah.’ " is the request he
makes of the sacred cow, who probably
complains of an unlocated pain In one of
her four stomachs, but would rather suf
fer than make known the fact that she
had been without lower teeth from the
day of her birth.
It requires seventy-two cars, divided
into three trains, to handle a show as
large as the Forepaugh-Sells circus,
which exhibits here October 7.
Among the best features of this show
are Diavolo, who loops the loop on a
bicy.cle; the world-famed Aurora Zou
aves; Minting, the unicycle marvel; the
great cycle whirl, twenty-three chambion
bareback riders; the ten Peerless Potters
in the greatest aerial act of the age; also
a mammoth menagerie, including four
herds of performing elephants.
JOHN MITCHELL SAYS BAER HAS
TRIED TO MISLEAD THE PUBLIC
(Continued from First Page)
fear that I shall become a 'dictator,' in
control of votes enough to decide the
next Presidential election or to his as
sertion that in this contest, the allied
coal presidents are fighting the battle
of Independent labor against the aggres
sions of the United Mine Workers in or
der that the individual workman may be
employed upon terms satisfactory to him
self. As an influential director of one of
the coal roads, Mr. Hewett is undoubt
edly aware that the companies are fight
ing to compel the workmen to accept em
ployment under conditions satisfactory to
the coal trust and that the preservation
of man's individual rights is simply a
cloak under which they seek to destroy
organization among their employes. He
is undoubtedly in a position to know that
membership in an organization was
frowned upon by the mine managers and
that specific Instructions were issued
from the general offices of the coal com
panies notifying some classes of work
men that they must either sever their
connection with the union or surrender
their positions. In fact many of the
local strikes which occurred in 1901 were
in protest against the action of the com
panies which discriminated against the
discharged union workmen because of
their affiliation with the organization. In
this strike it has been claimed by ene
mies of the union and believed by Mr.
Hewett althongli acknowledging himself
a recognized friend of trade organiza
tions that me were prevented from going
to work through fear of bodily harm and
it was confidently predicted that the'
moment the militia came the strike would
resolve itself into a stampede.
Not Pound of Coal Produced.
“The militia has been in Shenandoah
for more than eight weeks, and still, for
lack of mine workers, not a pound of coal
has been produced In that vicinity. The
militia is now stationed in the-Panther
Creek valley, in Wilkesbarre and In
Scranton, and yet its presence has not
been followed by the desertion of a single
miner who laid down his tools on the 12th
of May. On the contrary, many men
brought here to take the places of the
strikers have joined the ranks of the
strikers since the arrival of the militia,
and there is not the remotest possibility
of the mines being successfully operated
until an honorable settlement of tho
strike has been made.
“Reverting to the demands of the
miners for increased wages and improved
environment, Mr. Baer claims that he
uannot possibly pay an increase tn wages
that would amount to 10 or 15 cents per
tor. to the miners, but he and the allied
presidents admit that they can afford to
sacrifice temporarily a large market and
lose millions of dollars rather than pay
this increase; nevertheless, without ad
vancing the miners' wages one cent, the
operators did raise the market price last
year from 30 to 50 cents per ton, and at
the present time Mr. Baer and his fellow
presidents are forcing the public to pay
lrom $8 to $10 excess upon a ton in order
to save this same public 10 or 15 cents.
Below Cost of Living.
“Mr. Baer states that 40 per cent of the
coal produced is sold in the market be
low the cost of mining, but he fails to
say that the larger portion of this 40 per
cent is made up (f grades of coal for
which the miners received no compensa
tion whatever. Indeed, up to a few years
ago, or before the installation of wash
cries tho minors were docked for loading
this very coal which brings small prices
now in the market, and acccrding to Mr.
Hair's process of reasoning the miners
would receive less wages fop the larger
grades because they mine the small sizes
gratuitously.
“I shall not enter elaborately into the
question cf cost, but shall merely say
that Mr. Baer's statements are utterly
misleading. The rise in wages in 1900 was
more than counterbalanced t»y an in
crease in the cost of living, which left
the miners woise off than before. Mr.
Baer claims that this advance of 10 per
cent which was paid the miners in 1900
cost the companies more than 10 centB a
ton; but this is at least problematical. Tn
March, 1902, the Engineering and Mining
Journal made a careful calculation In or
der to show what effect the increase in
wages last year bed upon the cost of
coal. As a result of this computation,
based upon the figures, Delaware apd
Hudson, the Delaware. Lackawanna accl
Wt stern, and the Lehigh Coal and Navi
gation company, the Engineering and
Mining Journal, which cunnot be at'used
of being either friendly or fair to us.
states that “the conclusion to be drawn
is that the resulting increase in cost was
large, in all probability not over 5 cents
a ton.**
Average of $7.05 Per Week.
"Mr. Baer claims that the average pay
per working day in his mines is $1.89. Ad
mitting. for the sake of argument, the
correctness of his figures, this would
make upon the average number of work
ing days In 1901 a grand total of $868 per
employe, or an average of $7.05 per week,
thus as a result of the strenuously op
posed and bitterly regretted advance
wrung from the operators by the strikers
of 1900 the average adult employe of the
Reading Coal and Iron company Is per
mitted to spend upon himself, his wife
and ht*s children the munificent sum of
$1.01 per day.
“In closing this statement I desire to
say that we have entered and are con
ducting this struggle without malice and
without bitterness; we believe that our
antagonists are acting upon misrepresen
tation rather than in bad faith; we re
gard them not as enemies but as oppo
nents, and we strike in patience until
they shall accede to our demands or sub
mit to impartial arbitration of the umer
ences between us. We are striking, not
to show our strength, but the Justice of
our cause, and we desire only the privi
lege of presenting our case to a fair tri
bunal. We ask not for favors, but for
justice, and we appeal our case to the
solemn judgment of the American people.
Some Weightier Questions.
“Involved in this fight are questions
weightier than any question of dollars
and cents. The present miner has had
his day; he has been oppressed and
ground down, but there is another gener
ation coming up, a geenration of little
children prematurely doomed to the
whirl of the mill and the noise and
blackness of the breaker. It is for these
little children we are fighting. We have
not under estimated the strength of our
opponents, we have not over estimated
our own power of resistance accustomed
always to live upon little, a little less is
no unendurable hardship. It was with
a quaking of hearts that we asked for
our last pay envelopes; but in the grimy
and bruised hand of the miner wus the
little white hand of a child, a child like
tne children of the rich, and in the heart
of the miner was the soul rooted deter
mination to starve to the last crust of
bread and fight out the long dreary bat
tle to win a life for the child and se
cure for it a place in the world in keep
ing with advancing civilization.

Was It a Forgery?
Harrisburg, Pa., September 28.—Gover
nor Stone called up uenerat Gobin by
telephone tonight and advised him that
he had received a telegram from Shenan
doah advising him that the call for troops
to Columbia county waa a forgery.
General Gobin replied that the sheriffs
call for soldiers was authentic, and that
Sheriff Knorr had sent his deputy to
him (Gobin) for troops.
After his talk wiih General Gobin the
governor said that the general would
send troops to aid in the arrest of per
sons who have stopped and delayed trains
and forcibly taken non-union men from
cars.
Has Restored Order.
Scranton, Pa., September 28.— By work
ing his troops eighteen hours a day, re
gardless of the rain and awful condition
of the roads, Col. Watres of the Thir
teenth regiment has succeeded in restor
ing order throughout Lackawanna coun
I ty.
L/U10 mat IUBUL ai uiubbj isutiiu cur
llery, hall a mile from the Thirteenth's
camp, two soldiers from company A were
stationed in a patch of underbrush as
part of an outpost to the camp. A volley
of stones descended all about them, fell
ing one of the soiuiers to the ground. The
soldiers shot at the fleeing figures and a
relief detail, attracted by the tiring,
scoured the country for two hours In a
fruitless search.
At 12:30 this morning a shot was heard
on a hillside near the camp and a search
light was turned In the direction whence
the shot came. A man with a gun was
descried rushing to the cover of the
woods. After a short chase a couple of
soldiers from the outpost on the hill ran
him down. He proved to be Michael
Vaughan, the high constable of Oliphant
borough. The only explanation he vouch
safed to Col. Watres this morning was:
•■I wanted to try out your soldiers and
see if they were to be depended upon."
Changes in the Plans.
Pittsburg, September 28.—Changes in
the first announced plan of President
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
caused no little speculation here today.
I instead of going to Wllkesbarre this
morning he remained here until tonight,
going to Philadelphia on the fast train
dn the Pennsylvania railroad. To add to
the mystery, W. B. Wilson, secretary
treasurer of the. organization, who had
announced his Intention of returning to
Indianapolis, changed his mind and de
cided to accompany Mr. Mitchell to Phil
adelphia and later both will go to Wllkes

Big List of Good Names to Se
lect From
ALL WAIT ON SENATOR HILL
It la Practically Certain That Ran
dolph Guggenheimer Will be Nam
ed for Lleut.-Governor and
Cuneen Attorney General.
Saratoga, September 28.—Few of the
delegates to the democratic state conven
tion which is to begin its work here Tues
day have arrived on the ground, and
those nere know little as to nominees or
platforms. Talk in this direction Is" halt
ing until the arrival of Senator Hill to
morrow morning. It is generally under
stood that with the arrival of the senator
the situation will be materially cleared,
and while the fight over the governor
ship may go into the convention the re«t
of the ticket will be named without con
certed opposition.
At least three selections have, it Is said,
been tentatively made. Randolph Gug
genheimer will go cn the ticket for lieu
tenant governor, John Cunneen of Erie
for attorney general and Edwin S. At
water of Dutchess for comptroller. These
arc in addition to Judge John Clinton
Gray, who has no opposition for the court
of appeals judgship. Of course Mr. Gug
genheimer's nomination depends on the
selection of an up-state man for gover
nor, and it is said tonight that if the
gubernatorial nominee is from New York
City, Charles V. Bulger of Oswego will !
be the candidate for lieutenant governor.
It is also said that James H. Manning of
Albany, who is a candidate for tne nom
ination for comptroller, will be raaae
state treasurer for the purpose of get
ting on the ticket a name so prominent
in national as well us state politics.
Never in advance of any convention in
years has there been such a list of names
to Belect from. Amonrf the gubernatorial
candidates who, if the leaders are to be
believed, have an even chance to fight it
out in the convention or before it meets, j
are Bird S. Color, Edward M. Shepard.
Edward M. Grout of Kings; Jacob A.
Cantor of New York, Frederick Cook of
Mnoroe, Elliot Danforth of Chenango,
Nicholas Muuer of Richmond. Alton B.
Parker of Ulster, David B. Hill of Al
bany, Cornelius A. Pugsley of West
Chester, John B. Stanchfield of Chemung.,
John G. Mllbiyn of Erie and Judge F. M.
Cullen of Kings.
Of those in the list Judge Parker, at
least, can be eliminated. From a close ,
personal friend it is learned that he made
the following statement:
"If the convention should nominate me
by acclamation I should even then de
cline to run. I have no desire to leave
the judicial work I have to rush Into pol
itics."
relegates wrho are here tonight believe
that Judge Parker’s wishes will be re
spected, but those who admit this are
not talking of color or of Cantor, but of
Senator Hill. Several times at piazza con
ferences during the day the conversation
has turned on Hill as a candidate and the
proposition seems to have found favor.
Sulzer Feels Confident.
Albany, N. Y., September 28.—Senator
Patrick H. McCaren of Brooklyn, Con
gressman William Sulzer of New York
city, Prof. William D. Lee of Cornell
University and John B. Stanchfield of El
mira, were among the prominent demo
crats who arrived in this city today and
visited Senator David B. Hill. Congress
man Sulzer speaks very glowingly of the
chances for democratic success and says
if his party wants him for governor he
will take the nomination.
STRIKE SITUATION
STILL ORCHANGED
OFFICIALS OF COAL AND OTHER
COMPANIES FIRM IN THEIR RE
FUSAL TO DEDUCTWAGESFROM
EMPLOYE8 WITHOUT ORDER.
Nothing was given out yesterday by
the officers of the United Mine Workers
concerning the issue between their or
ganization and the Tennessee Cool. Iron
and Railroad company over the refusal
of the latter to deduct assessments from
the wages of their men without signed
warrants.
It is understood that President Flynn of
the Alabama district of United Mine
Workers will continue to exert his ef
forts to induce all the members to sign
for a dollar a week for the relief of the
anthracite strikers.
While the Tennessee company is the
only one thus far that has had any of its
men to quit work all the operators have
expressed themselves firmly on the ques
tion of deducting assessments, and will
maintain their position, they say, and re
fuse to take out a dollar unless they
have a written request from the mine
workers.
