IN REPLY TO MINISTER'S PLEA Divine Right to the Mines Is the An­ swer Sent by President Baer to an Appeal for a Settlement From a Religious Standpoint. Wllkeebarre, Pa, dispatch: The di­ vine right" of operators is the keynote of the reply sent by President Baer of the Philadelphia and Reading com­ pany to a letter written by W. F. Clark of this city, appealing, fronr a religious standpoint, for the settle­ ment of the strike. President Ba«r*s letter was, in part, as follows: "1 do not know who you are. I see that you are a religious man, but you are evidently biased in favor of the right of the worklngman to control a business in which he has no other in­ terest than to secure fair wages for the work he does. I beg of you not to be discouraged. The rights and in­ terests of the laboring man will be protected and cared for, not by the labor agitators, but by the Christian men to whom God, in his infinite wis­ dom, has given control of the proper­ ty interests of the country and upon the successful management of which so much depends. The Lord Still Reigns. "Do not be discouraged. Pray ear­ nestly that right may triumph, always remembering that the Lord God om­ nipotent still reigns and that his reign is one of the law and order and not of violence and crime." Mr. Clark, in his letter of appeal, had written as follows: "While it is true the strike is not a religious matter, yet it is possible to take Christ into all our business af­ fairs, and by so doing we have noth­ ing to lose and everything to gain. There is no doubt that both sides feel oppressed, but if operators would take Christ in their business and labor unions would take Christ in their unions, this oppression would soon disappear, and each would consider the other a brother, for, Indeed, such we are in Christ Jesus."

Points Out the Danger That p Lurks In Great Indus-** r i trial Combines. & DISASTER IS SURE TO FOLLOW When Business Is Centralized In the Hands of the Few He Fears That Financial Mistakes May Involve the Whole Country. . Russell Sage holds some positive views on the trust question, which are completely at variance with those held by J- Plerpont Morgan, America's lead* ing exponent Of the trust problem. Mr. Sage took occasion to utter some emphatic statements concerning the progress of the combination Idea. These vl,cws, spoken by the aged finan­ cier at the time Mr. Morgan began his tirat full busines day after hie Euro­ pean trip, were taken by some finan­ ciers as a note of warning that the trust problem is being overdone. Not Opposed to All Trusts. "First, let me say that I am not antagonistic to Mr. Morgan," Mr. Sage explained this evening. "He and I have been very friendly from a busi­ ness standpoint for many years, but we differ on the trust question. I have been misquoted and my views, exaggerated when I was quoted as say­ ing that combinations of all kinds are a menace to the government. That is not right I believe those which have been formed with the right idea and on a sound basis will live, but the oth­ ers will fail and die of their own poor construction. Fears Inflated Securities* "What I am afraid of is the constant formation of inflated securities which are disposed of to the American peo­ ple with a good brand on them. "Securities -have been made in great quantities and sold at high prices on the idea that economies to be effected will give them the arbi­ trary value which has been placed upon them. This theory will be ex­ ploded later on, for there will always be competition. When the crash comes it will be a national disaster. Everyone will be more or less af­ fected, and the Industrial stagnation will be far greater than if half a dozen small concerns became bank­ rupt. When a great big company goes under thousands will have to bear the loss. Few Should Not Control. "Another thing I fear is the central* iaztlon of big Industries in the hands of five or six men. The control of industries of our country should be more widely distributed, but if the trust idea continues to progress at the same speed that it has done with­ in the last year all the leading indus­ tries of the nation will be left in the control, as I spid before, of half a doz­ en men. ^ "When half a dozen men direct the busines and financial policies of the great industries there Is danger that they may qmke a mistake in judg­ ment It would be different if a hundred or a thousand men controlled these Industries. Designates Bad Combine. "If a part of them erred the rest might be affected, but they would be able to stand it. If, however, a mis­ take was made by this small group of powerful men then the whole na­ tion Would be plunged in financial loss and ruin. "Of course, some combinations are good things. I do not know any par­ ticular instance that I can cite which could illustrate my idea of what con­ solidation is good business, but I can give one that has been a bad thing. That is the copper combination." ' TRIE8 ANTITOXIN ON PORKER8 Drowns While Fishing. Fort Williams, Ont, dispatch: ffr> skine Andrews of Chicago was drowned in Lake Nlpigon, sixty miles east of here.

Enterprising Hackman Gets Soldier to Make a ^ | Hurry-Up Trip. > V BELLBOY GREETS THE FIGHTER Instead of Reception Coipmlttee Pur­ veyor of Ice Water, Etc., to Hotel Quests Is Only One on Hand fo Receive Distinguished Visitor. .Lieutenant General Nelson A.

Tht* clerk didn't know anything about any reception to General Miles. The general returned to the street to sound the hackman for further information, but that In­ dividual had disappeared; Makes 8ome Remarks.

The clerk of the hotel by this time had spread the news of General Miles' arrival and the local reception committee hastily got to­ gether and called at the hotel to offer apologies to the guest. Then it came out that the committee had planned to send a carriage to Leominster to bring the general to Fitchburg. The Leominster hackman heard of this plan and adopted a subterfuge to get the best of a Fitchburg hackman. REFERENDUM LEAGUE TO MEET Call Issued for Friends to Assemble at Springfield.
