COIL BIRONS IN THE
FIGHHOWIN.
Speaking for the Operators Baer De
clares That No Concessions Will
Re Made to the Strikers.
Fight To Continue to the
Bitter End.
Pittsburg. September 3.—“ An ex
tra session of the legislature would
cost the state less money than it is
costing to maintain the militia in the
anthracite region to prevent and
suppress riots.”
In these words Governor W. A.
Stone indicated to a few of his
friends during his visit here his pur
pose to call an extra session of the
Pennsylvania legislature and tryJo
end the anthracite strike. Mr.
Stone is said to believe that by this
means an end of the strike could be
made in less than thirty days. The
plan he proposes is a compulsory ar
bitration law.
Philadelphia. September 3.—President €
George F. Baer, of the Reading company t
and United States Senator* Quay nnd
Penmae held a long conference today tn
the executive office* of the Reading com- #
pjnv. In this city, at which the anthra ,
cite coal miner*’ strike was thoroughly ,
discussed. At the conclusion of the con- ,
ference President Baer issued a lengthy l
reply Io the two senator*. Among other
thing* he said:
■’The management of business beiong
to the owner*. In the case of coal com
panies the law casts tne management and
control on the directors and officer.,
whose responsibility is to their * »
holder* to the state and to the publk.
Th- right of th- stockholders is to
. pod management and a fair return on
their investment. The obligation to the
stat, is to conduct the business in strie -
conformity to the law* it has establlshed.
, Th- duty to the public, so far a* Pr*J
, livable. to conduct the business *o as to
add to the common welfare.
-Th- coal operator* say that they can
not mine coal because the miner* make
demand* which render it inukuwible to
■ mine coal profitably and that the state
ha* enacted laws prohibiting the emp.oy-
I m. nt of n.en in the mines unless the »
have worked two year* in anthra.
■ mine* and therefore they cannot tor ti e
time being min.- coal. How then, under
these circumstance*, can there be an*
1 violation of public duty? If we yield to
• th- extravagant demands of the miners
we Will lose money. If we attempt to tn-
I cre.se the price of coal we will destroy
th- industries depending upon anthracite
i fuel If we increase the price on tne do
. mestic sixes we will be called rooocC
. barons, oppressor* of the poor, monopo
] lists and enemies of mankind.

k i “We have concluded, therefore, that

"The operators were compelled to em- I

Tiie replv concludes as follows:
"We have discussed this whole sul>|.f t
fully, and T have endeavored to show I
vou that sound business management
makes It Impossible to increase wages
We know that the wages a.-e fair and
relatively high, and that if the leaders

BUSINESS IS PARALYZED
AND PEOPLE ARE STARVING
Washington. September s.—United
States Minister Bowen, at Caracas, bus
forwarded to the state department, under
date of August 24. a plaintive pica for the
poor in that capital who are suffering
great misery as the result of the pro
tracted war now in progress. The spe
cial plea is made by Rev. T. S. Pond,
the senior American missTonary In Cara
cas, and Mr. Bowen has undertaken glad
ly to receive rfhy contributions.
Mr. Pond says business enterprises are
paralyzed and the rural districts are in
a state of desolation.
“The iiH'ople are actually starving “
he writes, “and are rapidly invading the
city In the hope of obtaining something
to do, or at least something to eat.
“At least half the families of this city
can gain ably on.- fair meal a day. Hun- 1
dreds cannot obtain even that. The price
of necessities of life is very high and
rising still, owing to war panic and the
prolonged hostilities."
Rebels Move on Castro.
Barcelona, Venezuela. September 5.

Caracas. Consequently Generals Riera,
Batalla, Mendosa and Sanchez with about
12.000 men recently left San Carlos, dis
tant 150 miles from Alta Gracia, but
they cannot reach the latter place within
a fortnight, and the decisive iiattle can
not take place for some time to come.

ieport that he took under his charge the

L His attitude to Admiral Killick, the in

adoption ot a stronger policy than has
been pursued heretofore in the treatment

Berlin. Heptember s.—An official dis
patch was received here from Port-au-
Prince, Haiti, yesterday, confirming the
Associated Press dispatch of September

armed tone on boand of her and took
possession ot her war munitions belong

Haiti, and adding that the captain of the
<'rete-a-Pierrot subsequently released the
steamer
The representatives of the various low
ers here are unanimously ot the opinion
that the Crete-a-Pierrot cannot be regard
ed as a warship ot a belligerent state and
that the search of the German ship and
I the confiscation of the arm* and ammuni
tion on board ot her was nothing but an
I act ot piracy.

time. Admiral Killick asked that this
time be extended to fifteen minutes. This
request was granted on the condition that
the arm* and ammunition on board the

when her crew left her.
The crew of the Crete-a-Pierrot left to;.t

sailors, who were to take possession ot i

to recognize the constituted authorities,
he threatened to bombard Cape Haitien.
The consular corps protested against >.i a
action being taken, but their efforts fail

admiral did bombard Cape Haitien, al
though little damage was done liv the

Resolutions Passed By As
sociation Cah for Such
Action by Churcn.
By Lauren W. Foreman.
Clarkston. Ga.. September
Staff Correspondence.)—R f *olutions were
adopted today by the Stone Mountain
Baptist Association, in session a
dian Creek church, near Clarkston, which
will probably result in that associations
withdrawing the hand of fellowship rom
the Tabema.le Baptist church, of At
lanta, of which Rev. Len G. Broug i o
IB pasuvi. that
The resolutions adopted call on tha
church to rescind the action tak< n
months ago sanctioning the acceptan
applicants who were baptized by alien
immersion.’- While discussing he r, s
lution Dr. Broughton stated thatJ
Tabernacle Baptist church would
rescind this action while h «
tor. inferring that he would im ' h
r. sign hi* pastorship should the church
agree to abide by the decision of the a.
sociation. R. N. Fiekett chairman of
the board of deacons of the 1
Baptist church, stated to i representative
of The Constitution after the m< g
that the church would never rescind its
action; that the action taken is ngnt.
th.it it was taken after long eonsid. ra
tion, and that consequently the church
will’stand by it. come what may.
The nine messengers of the ’laberna
Baptist church who were present wer
a unit in supporting Dr. Broughton. . > ,
that it seems that there is not the pos
sibility of their taking the advice of the i
association, it now seems that the} wil.
I in a short time consider lh“ resolutions
and decline to abide by them. This w
I put the matter up to the association of
next year and in the opinion of promlnen j
Baptists the association will in that ch>
withdraw the hand of fellowship from
the Tabernacle Baptist church.
Resolutions Introduced.
It had been expected that this matter
would form the chief topic of the first
div of the association, and. in fact, th.
association gave little attention to an>-
thing else after it was organized and
officers for the next year elected, tne
subject was pu\ before the li .use as soon
as the subject »f miscellaneous bu*im-*
was reached at 11 o'clock yesterdaj
morning. The discussion closed with the
adoption of the resolutions shortly afi.
c:3O o’clock yesterday afternoon. The
lesolutiuns w< re offered by Rev. 1 u.
Walkef, of Uthonia, and were as lol
'""Whereas, Tabernacle
chhreh lias declared in favor of al en
immersion' and is practicing me
"Whereas. This church did not come
into tile association with such devia
tion. of order and practice; and.
•Wheiea*. Tabernacle

; ble. not only to churches in our asso
ciation, but also in other churches in
I Georgia, thtr.fore, be it
Resolved. That we, the m-ssengers
I of the other < hi.rches In Stone Moun
j tain Associatioi, earnestly request
Tabernacle Baptist chin h to rest Ind
their act accepting 'alien baptism*,*
to return to their forinei church or
i der and nractie ', and to harmoniously
labor with us in the cause of Christ."
The offering of these resolutions pre-
I cipitated a discussion which w;:s char-
I acterized mete by the rl illful • ict of
I those engaged in it than by any warmt >
iof expression. However, det< rmina
i tion of those on either side to carrv th.*
■ point at issue was plainly visible. Once
I or twice matters seemed near a crisis
I and only the finest diplimacy of those
i who had the matter in 'barge prevented
i a bitter and impassioned debate.
Basis cf Opposition.
From the tirst there skeined little doubt
I but that the resolution* would be passed.
This was shown conclusively by the loss
of a motion to table the resolutions, the
vote against tabling them being over
whelming. Nevertheless, the gentlemen
Who were opposed to the resolution*
made a determined light to keep them
from going tbroujh.
Those who opposed the resolutions
based their opposition on two point*.
First, that it was unfair to single out
the Tabernacle Baptist church in this
matter, since they claimed that other
church.s in the association had follow, d
the same practice. Second, that the res
olutions w B re not in accord with th •
organic law of the association, since in
it* definition of baptism 't sav* nothing
concerning the administrator.
Reference was made to both the First
‘ BapHst church and the Second Biptist
church, of Atlanta, stating that ■ . h h 11
1 received persons who were isiptiz-d bv
"alien immersion." The reference to the
First Baptist church was tuilisequently
wlthdrawn. The messengers of the Sec
ond Baptist church said that they knew
nothing of such action by that church,
and the gentlemen who opposed the res
olution admitted that the specific case
ref-rred to oeeurr- d fourteen years ag ..
The portion of the organic law which
was involved in the discussion was the
fourth article of the declaration on
church order, which reads as follows:
The Scriptures prescribe no mode of
baptism. The Lord commands the im
mersion of a believer in wafer into the
name of the Father, and of the Son. and
of the Holy Spirit; and a change in this
In any particular violates the command,
and what is done is not baptism. Mat
thew xxvili. 19-20; Mark xvi. 15-16; Acts
; | vlli. 16-3 S. xix. 1-5; Acts xx. 7.
i The discussion was opened by Rev Mr.
’ | Walker, of Lithonia, the author of the
iesolutions, who spoke in favey of them.
' He said that the resolutions were pre-
1 , sented in all kindness and reminded the
I messengers of the Tabernacle Baptist
• churck that the resolutions w- ad
dressed to the church and not to the mes
sengers themselves. c
Rev. L. G. Brought an Talks.
I Dr. Broughton In replying stated that
j before voting on the resolutions he wanted
I to know what would be the effect if th-v
were passed and the Tabernacle Baptist
I church refused to accept them. When
some one of the messengers questioned hist
right to make this inquiry and accused
Dr. Broughton of predicating the action
of his church, he replied;
“I do not claim to bind my church, but
I know that the Tabernacle Baptist church
j will not rescind its action as to this mat
| ter. Certainly it will never do it while 1
am its pastor."
Dr. Broughton outlined the history of
the growth of the belief in the acceptance
of “alien immersions” by his church. He
said that the action of the board of dea
cons had been taken after prayerful con
sideration and without any coaching on
his part. He explained that he had al
ways believed in “alien immersion," com
ing as he does from Virginia, where it is
universally practiced.
Dr. Broughton said that while he dll
not believe that the resolutions were in
stigated by any feeling against him still
he did believe that a feeling against the
Tabernacle Baptist church was largely
responsible for the whole movement.
“And." said he. “the only reason 1 can
assign for this feeling is that the Taber-
