Plan for Settling Strike Proposed by People’s Alliance
Harrisburg Sept 11 The conference committee of the People’s Alliance presented to Gov Stone a plan to end the anthracite strike. It calls for an extra legislative session to enact compulsory arbitration, curb foreign corporations, and enforce Article 16 prohibiting unqualified fire bosses and Article 17 barring child labor in mines. McCarthy of Hazleton urged the session to halt strikes and curb big firms led by Baer and Morgan, arguing mismanagement and high prices from coal companies. He said legislation enforcing constitutional provisions would end the strike and prevent future ones. Parker of Wilkes-Barre described dire commercial conditions driving residents away as the region bleeds jobs and business.

Beveridge cites wartime costs and trade gains in defense of Republican leadership
Senator Beveridge argues the United States ran up nearly 3 billion dollars in federal outlays since 1877 under a Republican administration yet balanced the books with debt reduction, rising gold reserves, and abolished internal war taxes. He claims farm wealth and exports surged, while the five year balance of trade favored the U.S. by over 2.5 billion, contrasting this with calls to reject Republican stewardship and linking tariffs to trusts.
