THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1903 bers' desks this morning contained twenty bills. Two were Nos, 22 and ¢4, the meas- ures carrying appropriations for the s aries _of the members and legislative ex- penees, and of the remaining elghteen ten were measures introdueed by Douglas county members, inajuding Gilbert's water works bill, a counterpart of the Howell bill Gregg himself is the author of sixteen bills already, all along educational lines, and contemplates Introducing as many more, perhaps. It should be sald, however, that moat of these bills are introduced at the roquest of other parties, since Mr. Gregg s identificd with. the committee on schools. It a bill introduced today in the house by Hunter of Webster should find its way successtully through the labyrinth of legis- lative proceedings, the state oil inspector- ship will become a thing of the past. De- spite the statement of the present incum- bent of the office, that within the last two years his oflcé has turned back in fose to the stdte treasury over $7,000, Mr Hunter thiuks the office is a sinecure and should bn abol¢shed. . He thinks the stat~ can wo'ry along someNow without this ex- travagaat lugury, ee-he terms it. Such bilis are not umcemmen, however, and the advent of thig ohé today created no speclal excltement Legisiative Gossip. The. fusionist members, of whom there are but twenty-four in the house and four in the senate, have thus far deported them- gelves certalnly as a quiet fot. Not one has “‘peeped” in the house up to the pres- ent. The ranks of the tainerity, however, contain some men whose yolces doubtless will be heard on mauy.occaslons before the sesalon is over. Loomis of Dodge Is the reeagnized minority leader: in the house and & man who holds.a placé among the brainy members. “Chauncey” Warner of Lancaster wiil have to abdicate from the prominence he has attained as the ‘‘youngest member of the house”” That distinction is claimed and possessed by Perry of Furnas, whose age is 26, while Warner has rounded his twenty-seventh mile post. , Perry doesn't look it, though, while Warner does. But then Warner has mevef had a speakership race 10 mar the bloom.of his youth. Gregg of Wayne has set a pace and holds the record In the house for the ‘ntroduc. tion of bills. Of the house rolls, six teen were introduced by him. And nearly, if not every measure, relates to the statutes governing schools. Mr. Gregg has been identified with schools as a teacher anu 18 now on the committee in the house that looks after school affairs. The vexatious problem of who is the handsomest man in the house Is causing & stir. The honor Is conceded to lie be« tween Spurlock of Cass and Douglas ot Rock. Both gentlemen are handsome and they are willing to “let it go at that,” but ®ome persistent friends want the thing settled. It happens, however, that good looks 18 suid to be not the crowning virtue of either man. Both give promise of be- coming effective member: FORWARDS WATER WORKS BILL Senate in Committee of th Recommends Howell Me: for Passage. Whole e (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Jan. 19.—(Special.)—Senate Mo No. 1, by Howell o Douglas, has been approved by the senate as a committee of the whole and ordered engrossed for a third reading. This Is a bill to compel the eity w«l of ' Qmuaba, to purchase the water Wetks plant of that city. Senator Howell made a statement as to the 4 -its’ gont He!'stated .,wm':_" litical parties of « Omaha; ged “themselves In their vm:lm election to have the coupel tha plant, though nothing uw done.. . “The.bUL” ke said, “Is to compel the city muml‘.h..mm the wishes of the peaplegnd | e the water works. At our lakk ¢ity. election the proposition to purchase, the 'plant, oarrying with it a proposition 1o ‘bond the city in the sum of 33,000,000 for that purpose, was carried almost unanimously, and it is the wish of the people of Omaha that the city own its water works plan “We now have the opportunity of pur- chasing the plant withcut paying for the remaining five years' franchise. ‘It will mean the saving to the city of Omaha of $175,000 a year; for we are at the present time paying $100,000 for hydramt rent for Ofe use. The people of Omaha are paying 35 cents per 1,000 gallons for water, while the people of Lincoln, the. city owing the plant, pay 15 cents and the city pays noth- .Ing for hydrant rent. This clty gets its entire fire department free of costs, from the revenue derived from the water rent. It is the object of this bill to compel the city councll of Omaha to do its duty as the * people seo it." No one made any objection and the com- mittee voted unanimously to recommend to the senate the passage of the bill. Another Revemue Re: tion, Another revenue resolution was intro- duced by Harrlson of Hall. It provided that the revenue committee of the senato hold iteelf in readiness to confer with a committee that may or had been appointed by the house, on any revenue measure that may come before it. The object of the re clution, the whereases explained, was to prevent the house and senate from working along different lines. Harrfson apnounced that under the rules of the senate the resolution would have to | lay over for one day, but if there was no objection the senate could pase it at once. O'Neill promptly objected and sald the senate should have some time to think over the matter and he desired the measure lald over until tomorrow. Jennings of Thayer seconded O'Nelll apd. sald he saw very lit- | hipdered or encumbered with other duties. | tle difference between this resolution and the one proposed Friday and tabled on mo- tion of Harrison. The resolution was then laid over until tomorrow. Senator O'Nelll became wrathy while trying to arrange’ his senate file and took the floor to protest against the files as fur- nished by the secretary of state. “The peo- ple who got up this thing,” he sald, “‘surely thought we could stand on our heads. The business Is always upside down and a man would bave to spend half a day to arrange his bills. Every blll has to be taken out in order to arrange them in anv order and 1 protest. We are not a company of acro- bats.” By the time the senator from Lan- caster got through lambasting the files, a half dozen senators jumped to their feet and added a few sizzling words expressing their opinions. The windup finally came when Dean of Phelps moved that the com- mittee of printing call upon the secretary of state and require him to furnish differ- ent files or have those now in the posses- slon of the senate fixed so they would be less troublesome. Another senator desired to kmow why the senate bills were not printed in the order they were read. The bills have been coming back to the senate in any old order nd this gave rise to the suspicion that thery wiis a reason for {t. President Har- rison “announged that the printer had in- forméd him that fu the future the bills would come Back in: the order’ read. The senate adjourncd 10 o'clock Tuesday.

(From a Staff Corresporident.) LINCOLN,. Jan. 19,—(Special)—Barely a quorum was present in the house when it was called to order at 10:30 this morning. | Douglas of Rock called up his. resolution | of Friday providing for the election by the house of a committee of seven to draft | and Introduce a revenue bill within ffteen days. He amended it 80 a8 to give the speaker the power of appointing this com. | mittee to act jointly with a like committee from the senate. After Christy of Nemaha had offered an | amendment to make the house committee { on revenue and taxation the comwmittee to draft this bill, act jolntly with a like com- mittee from the senate, Douglas took oc- casion to explain, the whyfore of his reso- lution and amendment, saying he did not wish to take out of the hands of the rev- enue and taxation committee anything that properly should come within the scope of its powers. His object was to have & com- mittee to look after this important matter exclusively. | _Christy insisted that this was properly within the province of the revenue and | taxation committee's powers and should be | delegated to it. | Rouse of Hall, Sears of Bur, Wilson of Pawnee, Peyry of Furnas and McClay of Lancaster spoke against the Christy amend- | ment, and the author, with the consent of his second, withdrew the amendment. The house then, by acclamation, adopted | the Douglas resolution as amended by the | | author. In his remarks McClay of Lancaster sald | |he favored a special committee for this | { important work so that it might not be | | | It was essential to expedite the introduc- | tion of a revenue bill and this could not be done It the matter was léft to a regular standing committee, whoge hands would be full of other work \ “We want immediate action,” continued McClay. “The revenue laws of our state demand prompt and radical changes.

CINCINNATI, 0., Jan. 19. After in session at the Grand hotel here this being afternoon and agaio until late at night, the National Base Ball league failed to ac- cept the proposed perce agreement If there had been no injunction issued In anticipation of ratification it fs doubtful if the result would have been different. The greetings in the hotel lobby when the western and part of the eastern repre- sentatives met were not such as usually characterize such occasions. Brush, Von Der -Horst, Knowles and Ebbitts had been four hours, and Soden and Conant arrived but a short time previously. All the others had been in conference and In waiting during the day and when all finally got together, shortly after 3, President Pulliam called them into his parlor, where, from all accounts, they had plenty to do. Mr. Pulllam bad before him an opinion from Attorneys Outcault and Foraker as to what could be done while the injunction stood, and it was on the advice of counsel that they went Into committee of the whole, more to advise esch other than to take any definite action, Counsel is Engaged, During the evening recess counsel in Philadelphia was engaged by wire for the hearing of the injunction case on Wednes- day, and this was accepted as indicating that Mr. Brush had not ylelded to per- suasion and dropped the case. It is now possible the meeting may adjourn to Phila- delphia to meet after the court proceed- ings. \ The night session was devoted to con- sidering the peace agreement, section by cection, and the vote stood 6 to 2 in com- mittee of the whole on all of the first sec- tions, to which no opposition had been cxpected. The New York and Brooklyn clubs said they were not opposed to those sections except that they were interwoven in & compact to which they were opposed as @ whole. The last two sections apply to territory rights and players, and opposi- tion was expected to these sections be- cause New York was included in the Amer- fcan cfrcult and because of the players that New York and Brooklyn claim to heve had taken from them. At midnight no vote had been taken on either of these sections and it is doubtful if any vote will be reached during the night. There was some doubt as to how Boston would vote on those sections. President Robinson sald the league ought to have completed its work in thirty minutes and endorsed such men as were in the new ownership of the Cincinnati club. He and other western members greatly regretted the situation. Among those ‘in the hotel lobby were: Captaln Donovan of the St. Louls team, Business Manager Frank Bancroft of the Cincinnati team, Buck Ewing, former man- ager of the Cincinnati team; Robert L. Hedges of the St. Louls American club, and George Stallings, manager of the Buffalo club. President Pulllam denies the report that he will resign his present positicn to be- come the head of the mew Philadelphia glub_when it Is secured by the Dreyfus syndicate, which includes. W. Kesley Schoepf of Cincinnati and Hugh J. Me- Gowan of Indlanapolts. Change Made in Minutes. Before ‘approving the minutes of the meeting last month in New York a cor- rection was made, substituting the name of John T. Brush for that of John I, Rogers as the author of the resolution Wnder which tho peace committee was appointed. Mr. Pulliam then read a letter from John 1. Rogers of the Philadelphia club, pro- tasting against the signing of Delehanty by the New York club. Before the report of the conference com- mittee was submitted Mr. Herrmann read telegram from the directors of the West- ern league urging that the agreement be- ween the National and American league be ratified in the interest of the game. The report of the conference committes which was signed by Harry C. Pulllam, August Herrmann, Frank DeHass Robison and James A. Hart, was submitted by Chalrman Herrmann. The report rehearsed the negotlations leading up to the Cincinnat! meeting and related in detall the agreement there ar- rived at and since given to the public. The report continued: Your committee unanimcusly recommends that sald agreement be ratified by the league. We belleve that in doing so the Natlonal league and American Association of Professional Base Ball clubs will make & move that will be more lasting, more beneficial and will meet with more gen- eral Ifgrovll than any action that has been faken for some time and will cer- tainly be in strict accord with the objects of our assoclation, as set forth in our con- stitution. Wil Fight Injunction. A motion by Roblson, seconded by Flefschman, then prevailed to take up con- sideration' of the joint agreement trdns- mitted with the Herrmann report section by section, and genmeral discussion fol- lowed. Before taking a recess for ainner the committee of the whole arose and the league adopted a resolution offered by A. Herrmann, authorizing the employmént of counsel to look after the league's interests in the Injunction case.

PUTS FAITH IN ARBITRATION COMMISSION Refuses to Discuss Dolngs of Tribunal at Reception Tendered Him, but Agrees that Findings Be Just. INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 19.—The city of In- dianapolis and the local labor unions united tonight in a reception to John Mitchell, | president of the United Mine Workérs of America. . A torchlight parade with 2,000 men in line escorted Mr. Mitchell and other lead- ers to Tomlinson hall, which was crowded to the doors. Addresses of welcome were made by Mayor Bookwalter, President Felt- man of the Central Labor union and N tional Secretary Duffy of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners. Mr, Mitchell was greeted with cheers that lasted five minutes. He spoke rapidly and was frequently interrupted. Gives He sald 1 am not valn endugh to belleve that this splendid welcome I8 a personal tribute ise to Women, to me. In all great movements of this world “the calcfam light falls more bril- liantly on some than on others, but the credit for the setilement of the great an- thracite coal strike belongs not to me, but to the women and children who suffered bitter privations for five months in the coal fields that their husbands and | fathers might stand firm to the cause of | justice. [ can hardly discuss the matters | now In the hands of the strike commmis- slon. It would be Jike a man discussing his own case while it is in court, but 1 have an abiding faith in the tribunal which has in hand the settlement of our | teouble. It was not so much the strike | of the miners against the owners as it was | the strike of the raliroad presidents against the American people. 1 am one of_those who believe in the people. Your fellow townsman, Mr. Parry, prophesied that while there would be d arge crowd here tonight, there would be no property owners. 1 would not do him an injustice, for I know him quite well and he may not be correctly quoted, but 1 do not consider property as a_tuflicler measure of good cltizenship. [ do 1 imagine that all the money Morgan pos- sesses could make a man. Why should a man like Mr, Parry oppose the orgauiza- ton of labor? He himself is president of the National Manufacturers assoclation; he s its walking delegate; manufacturers, wholesalers, preachers and saloonmen have their organizations; surely no one would deny us workingmen the same rights as the whisky dealers. Labor Will Take Privileges. Labor will take fdvantage of every | f1ege capital does; if capital organizes, | will; it capital ' consolidates, labor | labor merely follows in the footsteps partner, capital. But there is still a_difference. The labor organization is & democracy, pure and simple. The individual vote of ‘every mem- ber settles every question. Organized labor stands for more and higher wages. It would -take the breaker boy out of the mines and put him in school. I found little boys and girls who should have been play- ing in the school yards bearing the heaviest responsibilities in the mines. Labor is not always right. It has done many foolish things. It has been its own worst enemy. I am not one of those who consider it wise or just to denounce capital. Not gne of us is poor from choice. Labor must do its share to elevate its indivddual members. 1 shall be glad if out of the anthracite strike new relations arise be- tween labor and capital. ‘Then wil' our country be prepared to enter upon 1ts new and greater life. Mine Workers in Session. INDIANAPOLIS, Ird., Jan. 19.—The United Mine Workers' fourtcenth annual convention opened in Tcmlinson hall today. When Mr. Mitchell arrived there were over 600 delegates present, who gave him a rousing ovatlon. “W. B. Wilson, the gecretary, read the call and the committee oh crendentials made its report. The committee on rules and the general order of business was ap- pointed, with instructions to report at once, Many delegates who were present were not reported on favorably, as the locals they represented had not pald all the as- sessments made against them. Cn motion of Delegate Dempsey it was voted to seat all delegates whose locals were not in arregrs for more than two months of 1902, The question arose over the anthracite | workere. On account of the long strike many of the loca had not been able to pay their assesements. The committee on rules and order of business reported that the same rules as those reported last vear would be the rules of the convention. Addresses were delivered by ~several presidents of unions, ana committees were appointed on #cale, grievances and con- stitution. Mr, Mitchell will submit his 1eport to- morrow morning and will be followed by Secretary-Treasurer Wilson, after which the auditing committee will make its re- port WOULD BAR ALL OUTSIDERS Mine Superintendent Strike Commission His Views on Unios Gives PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 19.—The exami- nation of Colonel D. A. Phillips of Scran- ton, general superintendent of the mining department of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western railroad, took up the greater | part of today's session of the strike com- | mission. Superintendent Phillips told of the cou- dition in and about the collieries owned by the Lackawanna company. Like some of | the other superintendents he believed the | men had a right to organize if they wanted to, but no person who was not employed by the company had a right to come In and teli the men what they should do. The growing want of interest in the pro- | ceedings of the commission was strikingly | illustrated today. There were eighteen spectators present, more than halt of whem were witnesses. Of the twenty-five lawyers representiug the coal company, only five were In attendance and only one of the nine attorneys for the miners was on hand when the proceedings began. Colonel R. A. Phillips, general superin- tendent of the department of mining of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, who wai on the witness stand Saturday, was the first witness called today. He se'd that the company never heard any complaints,against paying the men by the ear fnstead of by welght until the advent of the United Mine Workers. 1t made-o difference whether the miners were paid by the car or by welght 50 long as the rate pald was fair. The company never had any trouble re- garding wages until the union came Into the ficld. The contract miners would cut only five or six cars instead of the six or seven which could be relied upon before the strike of 1900. In consequence, the company had to employ 10 per cent more men than it did two years 0 to get out the same amount of coal. The men at the company’s mines had a beneflclent accident socfety. Afier the 1900 strike the society was dissolved and imme- diately reorganized. This was done, he sald, in order to keep out the nomunion men who were “blackballed.” Prom 1877 to 1900 the relations between the men and the company were pleasant the wages of the men had been increased 45 per cent since 1877 He had no objection to the company's employes organising thelr own union for collective bargaining. He thought they had a right to organize, and he had no objec- tion to their befng aMliated with other labor organizations, but he did not think it right for ofictals of the United Mine Work- ers of America to come in and make the bargaina for the men. He belleved the amoloyes of the Dela- ware, Lackawanna & Western were capable of carrylng on their own negotlations. He went on to say that the plan of organiza- tion would have to be materially changed or the union would not last long in the an- thracite fields. It would bave to eliminate the boys, he said, who had a volce in the organization. Each boy had halt a vote, according to the laws of the unfon, but he often cast a full one. Judge Gray imterrupted to suggest that an organization like the miners' unlon should be composed of mature mind: In reply to Mr. Clark witness sald he personally thought the men might bring in a third party to arbitrate in case the em- ployes and the company falled to agree cn some disputed points. If the company brought in an outside person to plead lts case the men would have an undoubted right te do the eame. There were more cases of ‘nsubsrdination among the men, he added, more than there were prior to the strike of 1900. The mini- mum wage of inside laborers, who required no skill, was $1.77 a day and $1.38 a day for cutside laborers. Owing to the unfon restricting the num- ber of cars a miner could load they were earning no more money than they did be- fore the 10 per cent increase two years ago. In this comnection Mr. Darrow quoted from Mr. Truesdale’s annual report of 1901, in which he sald $1,412,000, or 30 per cent more, was paid to the men in 1901 than in 1900. The miners' attorney asked how he reconciled his own testimony with the re- port of his president, and witness replied that Mr. Truesdale's figures applied to all employes, while his testimony referred only to contraet miners.
