I | die !\u201d Yes, that was all the Fieldens had.been doing - for generations, It was a decaying race, and they had not had the \u2018energy.or perhaps the power, to stop the ruin that was creeping on them, and the man who lived there now had grown sour and bitter \u2018with his baulked life.\u201cMaster is upstairs,\u2019 old Hannah said \u2018distantly, in reply to Denise's greeting.\u201cHe hoped you.would excuse |\u2019 him coming down.but the child is very T£ you will please to sit down and take something I will tell him.you are here,\u201d And she opened the door of à room where a frugal meal was laid.\u201cI don't want anything, thank you,\u201d Denise said, hastily.once if I may,\u201d and before Hannah could raise any objection she was half way up the stairs.- 20 \u201cI will go up at |.She heard a murmur from the oak bedroom, where the head of the house was \u2018always.born and: where most of them had, died, and tapping lightly -on the door she went in.No one had heard her, and for an instant she stood as though \u2018arrested on the threshold.What a great room Ît was!

there is a heart-breaking possibility that: in many stricken homes there may be no turkey this vear.The -terrible truth is that the turkey crop has been a fuilure this year.For some time past dealers have been quoting them at 15 cents a pound, but as with the coal, few of them have really had any to sell to tueir customers at any price.A few little ones were picked up in the market yesterday morning at $1 each, and the representatives of local have been scouring the surrounding country with but puor success.Their eftorte have only served to reveal the horrible nakedness of the truth that the noble birds are scaecr, and that what few there are have been very successful in making themselves stiil scarcer until the Thanksgiving axe has fallen.As for the rest of the day, there will be matinee and evening performances in all the theatres, and at Windsor Hall -in\u2014the-evening Oss a the youthful but much heralded Russian pianist, will be prepared to enchant the musica!

yet the -rest of the world has to stand us, and we aré glad when it accepts us and makes thre best of us; this suggests the principle which it lé .wisest\u2019 for us to act upon, and apply to every one and every thing.Life comes to usin such fragments that we forget the divine law that underlies and works through i ull, \"We forge e perpetual, incessant \u2018and universal law of reproduction, that \u2018like breeds like;

thousands of watrfowl covered every stretch of water; trout, «almon and myriads of other fish were ready and eager to swallow any sort of crude hook.A PLENTIFUL FEAST.So plentiful.were the birds that \u2018when the Pilgrims decided to take a well- earned rest\u2014a week off\u2014the Governor sent four men out fowling and the four men killed enough turkeys to last for a week's feasting for themselves and stray Indians, besides the great chief, Mass:soit, with ninety braves, who spent three days with them and donated five deer \u2018to the pot.What a picnic that must have been! Trials at arms, contests between bowmen and marksmen with furiny old firearms, leaping, running and jumping!

and enemies of mankind.We have concluded, therefore, that Our duty to ourselves and to the public will best be served by standing firmly on these propositions: \u201c(1) That the wages paid in the anthracite coal regions are, compared with the \u201cwages paid In tke employ- 1 of the\u2019 | w - .- © .« Ln ment, fair and just; and that men willing to work honestly.can earn .more money on the present basis of wages than jn any other industry engaged in: producing common articles of \u201cnecessity in the United States.\u201c(2) That wages cannot be increased.without increasing the price of coal, and then the price of coal will restrict arket and drive the public to use bituminous cua?! a cheaper And more abundant fuel, and that a restricted market will curtall production and result in depriving the miners of regular emp'oyment.\u201ct3) That we are not fighting labor organizations.We fully récognizse the right of men to organize to protect themselves \u2018from oppre-sion - and - Lo BACK IN SOUTH AFRICA: GENERAL CRONJE\u2014From a Photograph taken in Simons Town.« benefit themselves way, sonable, interference with the discipline and.ordinary management of our business.select our emp.byes.Neither polities, religion, nationality nor membership in any egltimate in labor organizations shall debar any competent man from working for us.We are fighting the battle of freedom for the individual and his right to labor on his own jerms, \u2019 : UNIFORM WAGE IMPRACTICA BLE.\u201c(4) That it is, Ing conditions at each mine, impracticable to adopt a uniform scale of wages for the whoie region.But that at each colliery every complaint and grievance will be taken up and investigated by the superintendents, and adjusted .wherevir it is just.I personally offered to Mitchell and his.district presidents to go with them.and investigate any grievance, You see, Senators, none \u2018of these things can \u2018be the subject of arbitration.Our final conclusion, gentlemen, is to repeat what has been sald from the beginning, that when the men go back to work they will be paid \u2018the wages which were paid prior to the strike, and will be continued in accordance with the notice heretofore given; and if the men at each colliery go to work, every grievance or compiaint which they have shall be honestly and fairly considered and decided.We will not: discharge any of the men who have taken the places of the strikers, neither will we discriminate against the \u2018men who have been in the strike unless they have participated in the violence and crime which has prevailed since.the strike began.To make any other terms would be to gurrender the mane agement to an organization which has been lawless, and would lead to con- tihued persecution by them of the, men who have stood faithfuliy by us.\u2019 CASE AGAINST THE UNION.\u2018Allegations additional to these were contained in the statement made by Mr.Baer to Mr.Carroll D.Wright.He sald that until Mr.Mitchell came into the region with his trade union propa- «anda there had been industrial peace there for twenty-five years.The ges quence of Mr.Mitchell's agitation wa the strike of 1900 for a 10 per cent.a vance.The operators finally congent- ed to concede this under pressure from the politicians, the Presidential election being thne in sight.The winning of this strike, \u2018Mr.Baer =aid, only made the men harder to patisfy, and there were, frequent local strikes over the most trivial matters, For exumple, the \\ \"scale of wages is 85 cents, as \u2018you will -Cust was-$1.991.| employes are,.without regard to cias- - 26,729 men, and \u2018the average \u2018pay per But we do oppose their unrea- 26,829, and the avers We will not permit\u2019 them toby reason of vary- | lest, .crease of wages was impracticable;

3,000 of them get 85 cents a day; men slate pickers, who are tuo old to do any other Kind of work, get $1.20.Now, business side of it, I nave had a careful statement made of the actudl cost of\" mining for the iast four years.In 1399 the cost of labor enter ing into mining a ton of coal Was 51.067; the ma- teriai- used in the colliery, .314; general expenses .208.The total cosy of a \u2018ton of \u2018coal in 1599 at the mines was4 $1.589.In 1900 the labor increased.to $1.121, the material to .35 general expenses decreased to :19, and the total cost vf a ton was 31.667.In 1901 the\u2019 labor -raised to $1.263, the material to :363 and general expenses were .19.The total cost was $1.823 per ton.For the fen months ending April 30, 1902, the labor was $%1.383, material .416.and geh- \u201c¢ral expenses .192, so \u2018that the total It must bé understood \u2018that the Reading Company mines the greater part of its outfit from îts own | land, held in fee, and there is no charge of royalty or for sinking fund in.this whatever, \u201cI also submit a statement \u2018to show what the average ddlly-wages of all\"the.sification, including breaker hoys and every one taken from our pay roll.In January, 1902, we had 15,972 inside la- | borers and 9.820 outside laborers, a total of 25.792 men.The average pay per day, which included the boys in \u2018the breakers and at 40e fans, was $1.89, February, 1902, 270 \u2018men, and the average pay per dat was $1.898:- March.day.$1.896:, April, age.was $1.906.\" THE SHARE OF CAPITAL.Mr.Baer then took up.the question as to the profits.of mining and running railways.The effect of his statement is that neither one nor the other pays, and in view \u2018of the fact that Reading stock is considerably below par, he seems to be supported on the face of the matter.When it is \u2018cone sidered.however, that the mines which these men optrate yleld a commodity.which has virtually become a necessity of life and which is to be found nowhere else on the continent, and that the railways run through the bus.| most populous and- most richly endowed part of America, we must think that Mr.Baer's pleas of poverty would hardly stand careful and aggressive examination.At all events, | \u2018Mr.Baer\u2019s conciusion is that the companies could not afford to pay their | men more than they were doing -be- fore the.strike without losing money.The remedy of increasing the cost to the consumer to the extent of the -in- said, because bituminous, a\u2019 coal considerably cheaper to mine, became a competitor above a.certain price.Hard coäl was.preferred for.certain purposes, bug if it went much higher than it -had reached in 1901 soft coal would begin to displace it, with a consequence that the .production of the former would be decreased and\u2019 the numbers employed at the mines corresponding\u2018y diminished.\u2026 Mr Baer further stated that since the last strike the mine managers had been unable to preserve discipline in the mines.men worked when they pleased, and they- had no \u201ccontrol over them.In 1900 the operators felt that.the only substantial grievance the men had was that they were unable to- run thelr collieries to their full capacity.For the past eighteen- months, however, owing: to the increased demand, the |.thelr full strength.In reply to : Mr.Wright, Mr.Baer: satd the product prior to 1900 was about six tons per man: per day, but that since that it had only béen about five tons.Wright aso asked if the operators\u2019 \u2018had thought of a system of arbitration of differences, work proteeding while the grievance complained of- was being.in- vestigatéd.Mr.Baer said he had.looked into the working of such \u2018plans, both in England and Austraila;
