WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.— The House to
day passed the bill appropriating $30,000
to defray the expenses of the Anthracite
Coal Strike Commission, and then ad
journed until Friday, when the London
dock bill will be considered. There were
two hours of discussion on the commis
sion bill, during which the President's
course in creating the commission was
highly commended, except by Burton, a
Missouri Democrat, who contended that
the commission was created "without au
thority of law or constitution. There was
some criticism of the feature of the bill
allowing double salaries to the members
of the commission now In Government
employ, and also because the bill left the
amount of the compensation of the mem
bers to the President: But all amend
ments were voted down. T^he bill was
passed without division.
. . President Mitchell was called to the
stand, and in answer to questions by his
counsel said the 20 per cent increase in
wages would increase the labor cost less
than 10 cents a ton. Taking President
Baer's statement as a basis, he said the
increase would be about- 17 cents a ton.
He was cross-examined by "Wayne Mac-
Veagh and other attorneys. In reply to
a question Mitchell said the companies
were not averse to increasing the wages
of the men, but did not do so because
they were opposed to the union.
W: H. v Deterry, president of a local
union, employed as a miner by Coxe
Bros. & Co., Graf ton, said company men
are paid an average of $7 20 a week and
that a blacklist exists at the Coxe mines.
He further said he was on the blacklist
for nine months because he refused to
work a breast . which netted him only $3
a week. He also complained of the dock
ing system.
The chairman also added that the com
mission wished to say that parties to the
controversy may not withdraw without
the consent of the other parties before the
commission.
Dickson announced that in addition to
representing the Lehigh Coal and Navi
gation Company - he appeared for the in
dividual • concerns in the anthracite re
gion. On the outside agreement proposi
tion Chairman Gray announced that the
commission still "entertained the hope
that efforts to agree would continue and
the commission would gladly lend its good
offices to that end." .
Judge Gray said that unless some com
mon sense agreement was reached as to
the presentation of figures the expecta
tion of life of most of the members of
the commission would be insufficient to
reach an end to the controversy. •
In opening the -day's proceedings Chair
man Gray made an j explanation of the
attitude of the commission regarding the
efforts for an outside settlement. He
said 'there had been a misunderstanding
In some quarters. The idea had gone out
that the whole matter would be dismissed
if an agreement was reached. This, he
said, was Incorrect. He read a statement
made by the sub-committee in which it
was stated, that the committee would not
abrogate its duties" and that It would
stand responsible for any agreement it
approved or award it made.
SCRANTON, Pa., Dec. 3.— After 'an ad
journment of ten days, during which time
the representatives of the railroads and
miners were kept busy at work prepar
ing, evidence for submission to the An
thracite Coal ¦ Strike Commission, the
hearing of. the miners' side of the contro
versy wes resumed, in the State Superior
courtroom' at 10 o'clock this morning.
| The usual large crowd was j in attend
ance, and in addition there were several
hew faces among the array of attorneys.
The most prominent among these was
Samuel Dlckson of .Philadelphia, repre
senting the. Lrehigh Coal and Navigation
Company, a' large Independent company,
whose collieries- are all located in the
Panther Creek Valley. Among the spec
tators were about twenty Italians and

DEdDTTOTJS FRUIT V INDUSTRY.
A. R. Sprague of Sacramento read a
paper on "California Deciduous Fruit In
dustry." He was greeted with a round of
applause when he ascended the platform
to addres's-the convention. | Sprague dwelt
uporTthe gratifying progress made by the
Calif ornia Fruit Exchange and urged up
on his hearers the value of, co-operation.
The paper also dwelt .upon the excellent
progress made; by the California Fresh
Fruit Exchange. ' ., .V
C. D. Harvey, of Loomis, a grower who
announced himself as a stranger 'who had
come to the convention for information to
take - home to his neighbors, asked per
mission to speak. He paid high compli
ment to the admirable character of the
essays on transportation, public owner
ship of railways and other kindred sub
jects, but he wanted to know what the
fruit-growers could do to . get their green
fruit .to . market . with some profit.. As
Harvey • was not on the programme of
contributors, .the president gave him a
broad hint that others had the right of
•way. x '-.
R. D. I Stephens, from the permanent
committee on transportation, presented
an elaborate report in which he dwelt up
on the recent alliance of the Southern Pa
cific I with; the Armour. Company. Ho
quoted aletter written to William Sproule,'
traffic "manager of the Southern Pacific,
in which the apprehension was expressed
that the California fruit-growers would be
placed .at the mercy of the ; Armour
monopoly. Incidentally, Sproule was ini
formed that the Armour, people had never
answered ; the question wiiy they charged
for refrigeration of California fruit a sum
largely in excess of the amount charged
against Oregon fruit.
The report submitted by Stephens was
signed by Alexander Gordon, A. H. Naftz
ger, A. N. Judd and R." D. Stephens. . It
was stated that Alden Anderson of the
committee on transportation declined to
sign, giving as a reason that the report
placed the cart before the horse.
It --seems that William' Sproule replied
that, as the Southern Pacific Company
had nothing to do with the marketing of
fruit, the committee's, remonstrance had
no force. V- ¦ ' . , ¦
! WAEM DISCUSSION" EN-SUES.
. A motion to adopt the report evoked an
animated debate, in which Isldor Jacobs,
M. V. Hartranft, R. D. Stephens and
others joined. ."
"Is the Armour Company an evil to the
fruit-growing interests of the State?"
wasa straight question addressed by Mc-
Intire to Hartranft. The reply was gen
eral and somewhat indefinite so far as
Hartrahf t was • concerned, but Stephens
intervened and in a specific manner un
dertook to enlighten the audience.
KTi). Jackson of Minneapolis proclaimed
himself an Easterner who was will
ing to say a word in. commendation of the
report. He was welcomed to the floor and
made a happy little speech, in which he
advised Calif ornians to tell the Eastern
people the whole truth about the advan
tages and disadvantages of fruit-growing.
A. H. Naftzger reiterated his views that
the private car, line- was -an,, evil -to the
fruit-grower ' and should be eradicated.
"It is believed in transportation circles,"
said Naftzger, "that, the Armours own
and control the Earl Fruit Company. / In
the south we are against the private car
line all the time. If the Southern Pacific
has entered into an irrevocable contract
with the. Armour Company the railroad
corporation should be punishedfor it. 'I
do not know that they can be punished,
but they ought to be." '_J
The debate. brought out the statement
that the Oregon fruit-grower got his fruit
refrigerated for ?15 a car, while a charge
ranging from $85 to $110 per cat was laid
against the California fruit shipper.
A. R. Sprague asserted that the fight in
the south was won by organization. "It
was won by the Southern California Fruit
Exchange in the teeth of more formid
able opposition than confronts us here,"
said he. ¦•¦•¦
Isidor Jacobs said when the fruit-grow
ers organize they will get relief. He be-^
lieved that the relief would come in the
foim of a traffic association of fruit-grow
ers. . ' • - - ' • jj
The debate I became hotter as night
came on and the accuracy of statements
in the report was challenged or questioned
by two or three speakers. It was dis
tinctly asserted that the statements em
bodied in the report would injure . the
State" if published broadcast. Fruit-
El owers from Southern California did not
favor adoption.
Evidently these two paragraphs were
objectionable: .
OBJECTIONABLE ' PARAGBAPHS.
¦ The granting to the Armour Company the
exclusive /right to carry green fruit shipments
means that the company will have a monop
oly of the business so long as the contract
is permitted to exist, . and If there : are no
qualifications in the contract which will give
to your company the right to abrogate, or.
In other terms, terminate the contract at
will, then it also means that the Armour
Company will possess without hindrance of
any nature whateyer the absolute power to
control 00 per cent of 'all Eastern markets in
which California fruit Is sold. ' * .
•^ Such a result will - not ¦ only give to the Ar
mour Company the control of shipments to
Eastern markets, but also, for all practical
purposes, the control* of the deciduous fruit
industry of the State throughout most, • if not
all, • its lines, and thus will the profits from
fruit growing in California be diverted from a'
just and equitable distribution among the peo
ple of the State to the treasury of the Armour
Company; in Chicago. , '. V>

Woodward Chafes at De

Schoolhouses.
Blames Park Commission for
Not Improving Grounds
of Schools.
Another Blap at the Board of Public
Works was taken yesterday by the Board
of Education, which adopted k report filed
by Director Woodward, complaining of
the persistent delay of the first named
board in preparing plans for the erection
of new school buildings. Woodward also
paid his respects to the Park Commis
sioners for not beautifying the grounds
or gardens surrounding the schools. The
report says:
Although under our authority the Board of
works employed two additional draughtsmen
at our expense, but little substantial adv&ncu
has been made in the plans for new school
hcuses. The specifications of the Sherman six
rooms addition have not yet come from the
winter, although a month ago we expected
that by this time bids for the building would
have been received. The plans of the Noe Val
ley are still being drawn and the little "Car
vllle" school is the- only other of those enu
merated in the October report upon which any
thing has been done. The Board of Works
v. as requested to prepare plans and estimate
ef cost of new bulkhead and fence on the rear
end of the west side of the Garfield lot, the
eld ones being In a dangaerous condition. No
answer has been received and nothing has
been done to avert the serious damage the
etorros of the,, present winter may occasion.
The Board of Works has also been asked sev-'
¦eral times to caust> sidewalks to be lald^^A
front of different schools. No answer has been
given to any of the letters and none of the
sidewalks have been laid. -
Another example of the bad effects of this
divided responsibility is the gardens -and
grounds of our schools. Under the charter
the Board of Park Commissioners is given the
"exclusive control and management," but
they do not seem to realize their responsibility
and the result is dilapidation where there
should be beauty.
The Board of education has spent a great
deal of money on concrete -walls and walks,
but the gardens are unmade. After
two letter* detailing our needs, the following,
dated November 18, was received from John
McLaren, superintendent of parks: • "Refer
ring to yours of October 20, 1902. will state
that we are looking Into the Improvement of
quite a number of the school grounds and will
see what can be done for the yards that you
cane."

THE second day's session .of the
California State Fruit Growers'
Convention opened- at Pioneer
Hall- yesterday morning with
President Ellwood Cooper and
Vice-President , E. J. Wickson at their
respective stations.
Isldor Jacobs enlightened and enter
t£lned the convention by reading an
essay on "Trade Possibilities, in Califor
nia Canned ar.d Dried Fruits."
Edmond F. Adams contributed a valu
able paper on the subject of "ftecent
Progress of Co-operation in California."
The essay was a masterly review of cori
ditlons as they exist in this State and
the relations' of the carrier and grower
were defined in lucid style.
Edward Berwick gave an essay on the
topic. "The Imperative Need of a Time
Schedule on East-bound Fruit Cars."
Etrwick did not hesitate to speak in
plain language in referring to the delin
quency of transportation companies.
One paragraph of* the ' paper contains
this estimate of revenue by the railroads:
Fruit and vegetable products from California
eaetward-bound now foot up some 65,000 cars.
Averaging these at only ?30O apiece for freight,
there is nearly $20,OCO,000 annually paid by
California growers to the railroad. Thi3 kis
a tolerably good sized golden egg. and it Ms
nor policy for the railroad to kill the goose
that lays it.' It is' not always politic to be
over- exacting, even when one has the power.
It pays to conciliate clients. It is just as
possible to run freight trains on schedule
time as to run passenger trains thereon.
TENDER SPOT FOB. BAII/ROADS.
In Closing Berwick had this to' offer;
- -Another- line • of argument that j may iouch
the railroad officials in a tender, spot is the
possible decrease, of fresh fruit ' shipments.
Men tire of a gamble that is one-sided. ' The
grower or shipper cannot afford to lose his
fruit, his boxes, and his packer's time, in re
turn for the privilege of paying for the freight
and refrigeration charges on fruit which ar
rives at Its destination either too green or
.rotten. ¦ ,
The assurance we are given every convention
that the interests of the railroad and the fruit
grower are mutual is doubtless flattering and
touching, but it does nothing to decrease the
mortgage . on our orchards. I even have a
slight suspicion that the very urbane gentle
men who represent the railroad company on
these occasions sometimes laugh in their
sleeves at the credulity and endurance of that
most plodding and patient animal, - the Cali
fornia fruit grower.
Booming the fruit business has been and Is
a trump card with railroad editors. It brings
grist to their mill; cash in hand for immigrants'
fares and hopes of increased freight in the fu
ture. Booming usually partakes of the nature
of some distorted or exaggerated half truths,
which are hard things to fight.: i
As an anti-boomer, I should' like to know
how many fruit growers in this hall' have this
year made a fair Interest on their, money in
vested and adequate remuneration -for their
own time and ability. And I should like in
tending immigrants to be fully advised that it
requires not only considerable capital, but also
no small measure of ability, to make head
againEt the many adverse conditions which
beeet : California fruit growers. ' Perhaps one
of the most adverse is the lack of a time
schedule on east-bound fruit cars.
I cannct conclude without expressing the
hope that the freight traffic managers of the
various transcontinental " lines may be induced
to see the fruit growers' side in this matter;
n.'ay recognize the imperative need of such a
schedule, and realize that the demand for it
is founded in justice and equity.
George D. Kellogg read a carefully
studied paper on "Fruit Packing, Market
ing and Transportation." Kellogg con
tended that the transportation of fruit to
Eastern markets were surrounded with
many perils to the shipper. He estimat
ed that the greatest losses to the
were due . to the failure on» the part of
the railway companies to make time
He believed that the growers should in
sist on a seven days' schedule to Chicago.
Alden Anderson, Lieutenant Governor
elect, presented to the convention an
elaborate document entitled, "Report of
the California Fruit Distributors."
The question arose in the convention
whether the canal resolution declaring
in f acor of the Nicaragua route, as >
published in The Call yesterday, had been
adopted or referred to a committee for
consideration. After quite a discussion
the convention decided that the resolu
tion had not been adopted. Thereupon
it was amended by striking out the para
graphs expressing a preference f or > the
Nicaragua over the Panama route. As.
adopted the resolution simply hails with*
delight the assurance that funds needful*
for the construction of an isthmian' j
canal have been appropriated. ; *»vv
OPPOSE TABIFP TINXEBING.:
The committee on President Cooper's
annual address. Captain M. J. Daniels
chairman, submitted the follow\ng report
which was adopted:. - .'
To the Fruit Growers' Com-ention: We,
your committee to whom was referred the
president's address, hereby beg leave to report
as follows as to the recommendations:
First — That this convention favors the earn
est co-operation of the fruit growers of Cali
fornia in an extensive and varied exhibit of
all of California's products at the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition at St. Louis, and we re
quest the forthcoming Legislature to make a
liberal appropriation for that purpose, and the
secretary -is requested to notify the Legislature
of the action of this body.
Second — We * emphatically protest' against
any change in the present protective tariff,
either by reciprocity treaties or otherwise,
that may injuriously affect California indus
tries or productions, and the secretary shall
at once inform the California i delegation in
Congress of the action of this convention.
Third — In regard to the President's recom*
mendation- as to the appropriation for pro
curing parasites for predaceous Insects, we
heartily concur In, the same and recommend
an appropriation ¦' by the State Legislature of
$10.000 /for that purpose.
Fourth — As to the recommendation of Presi
dent Cooper regarding pure fcod laws, we re
commend that the present pure food laws and
olive oil laws have the special attention of the
forthcoming Legislature, and that said laws
be so amended as to provide for the enforce
ment of them by and through a State Food
Commissioner and under -the supervision and
by the appointment of the ¦ State University.
That r aid commissioner, by and with the con
sent of said university, be empowered to pros
ecute all violators of the said law and that an
annual appropriation of at least ? 10, COO be
set apart for this purpose,' together with such
surds as may accrue, as a result of violation
of said acts. The said fund to be used for
salaries of State Food Commissioner and chem
ical " laboratory work ¦ by said university.
Fifth — We approve President Cooper's recom
ireridatlons for the control of the shipments
of fruit and fruit products, by havlnjr' a proper
label -on every package indicating the quality
or grade: also the marketing of f artificially
colored olive pickles be prohibited \y leglsla-

'A. H. Naftzger read an essay on
"Freight Rates," c which was attentively
herfaed by the audience. The elimination
of the private; car from the California
fruit traffic was, in his judgment, the
end that all should -work for. He said
that the California fruit traffic cannot
live and prosper under, existing freight
tariffs, j Unless . the growing of fruit is
fairly profitable | to the orchardists the
industry must perish. The essayist be
lieved that much good could be accom
plished by patient and persistent work
to bring about the public ownership of
public utilities. •; .
Frank E. Kellogg of Santa Barbara
read a vigorous essay on "Transporta
tion," in which he reviewed. the decisions
of the Interstate Commerce Commission
and the United States Supreme Court in
upholding the discriminative poljcies of
railway corporations. He maintained that
the railway corporations were almost
absolute masters of the country, and ap
prehended that the railroads, intrenched
behind their liberal charters, would'ulti
mately acquire possession of the farms,
as they had- of the oil and coal fields.
The remedy, he argued, was for the peo
ple to build and operate railways for the
people and by the people. .
Both Delegates ; Naftzger and Kellogg
presented-, statistics showing the vast
wealth, invested In* railway enterprises.
It was shown, that the enormous sum -of
$1,300,000,000 was paid in" one year by the
shippers for charges on through freight.
There were no statistics at hand to show
the amount paid by the people for local
freight. The people were compelled to pay
freight rates, he said, '.that would enable
the railway owners - to pay interest on a
road, capitalization of $81,000 per mile.
Both essays, took ground 'in favor of pub
lic ownership of transportation lines.

Sixth — As. to the recommendation regarding:
fruit distribution, we believe that this subject
is one of the most Important now facing the
fiult growers of this State, its - future pros
perity depending upon the proper "methods to
be adopted. We believe that co-operation will
largely solve the problem and will prove a so
lution of the question. Respectfully submitted.

No matter how much corn
/alls on a bare rock, it wont
grow there. Neither will con-
sumption germs grow m per-
fectly healthy Jungs But if
the lungs become weak and
inflamed they are good soil
for consumption germs, and
if these enter they may take
root and grow.
There is no medicine that
will directly weed them out.
Tne thing to do is to make
the luags so healthy that the
germs will have to stop grow-
ing because there is no!hmg
for them to thrive on.
flTht lungs must be nour^
ished with plenty^ of good
blood, kept pure by breath-
ing pure air There must be
more sleep; Jess work ""and
worry. Perhaps some medi-
cine. The doctor will know. 1
The most important thing
is nourishment When the
body is . weakened by con-
sumption, the digestive pow-
ers cannot obtain from •ordi-
dinary food enough of the
elements needed to make
good blood. The lack is best
supplied bythe.useof Scott's
Emulsion. It is extremely
rich in the substances which
make good blood, and it also
helps the digestion to obtain
nourishment from ordinary
Scott's Emulsion is a food-
medicine; not a stimulant;
not a mere "extract" or so-
called "wine" of cod liver oil.
It contains the whole oil per-
fectly emulsified, which is the
only way of preserving its
valuable properties. These
are united with hypophos-
phites of lime and soda into
a combination which rapidly
builds healty tissue through-
out the whole body, and par-
ticularly in the lungs.
We'll send you a sample free
upon request.
