ARBITRATORS GETTING RESTLESS.
The Attorney For the Vat-tons CoJ
Roads Esek Take a Rand, hmt
rail to Taaale the Mia
rs Leader.
SCRAXTON. Ta., Nov. lO.-rrwI-6ent
Mitchell for the fourth successive
Caj occupied the witness itatid during
tha two auaaions of the strike couiuils
aloti and waa cross examined by three
attorneys for aa many conl companies.
While a considerable amount of infer,
aation fur the enlightenment of the
otnmWeloners was brotlKlit out, the
iiy was a rather quiet one compared
with those which hnre preceded It
The arbitrators are growing restless
(a consequence of the long cross exam
ination, which apparently does not
brlnji out the facts as quickly as the
comniUslon would like to have theiu
prentl. Several times durlnjr the
ourse of the day's session Chairman
Gray reminded the attorneys of the
T&lue of time and augvoetvd thnt cross
examination be limited to new features
of those questions that have already
been gone over. The lawyers assured
the commission that they. too. were
anxious to expedite matters and would
do everything possible to hurry mut
ters aloug without injuring their owu
case.
Mr. Mitchell hns bren cn the stand
since last Friday morning and Is show
ing stb'ns of weuriness from the strain
of four days' cross examination. Thus
far hts attorney. C S. Darrow, and
David Wllleox for tho Delaware and
Hudson, Wayne MacVeaRh for the
Erie. Francis I. Oownn for the Lehigh
Valley and W. W. Kws for the Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western com
pany have examined the miners' presi
dent. Mr. MacVeagh. who began his cross
examination of Mr. Mitchell on Satur
day, concluded at 11 o'clock. The dis
tinguished attorney ceutered most of
his energies In trying to break down
the miners' reasons for asking for a
yearly agreement with the companies
oa hours of labor, wages and other
conditions, which. If made, would be
recognition cf the union. Mr. Mac
Ver.gli'a principal aim throughout his
Questioning of Mr. Mitchell was to
how that the mine workers' union,
because of alleged acts of intimidation,
violence and the use of the boycott by
its members, proved Itself unfit to be a
party to a contract Mr. Mitchell would
not admit nor even assume for the sake
of illustrating points that a reign of
terror existed in the anthracite fields
("urlng the last six months. The recog
nition of the union is lookod upon as
the most important question before the
couimisslun, and It is quite evident
from th treud of the proceedings thus
far that the coiiauies will oppose It to
their utmost ability.
Mr. Gowan and Mr. Rosa questioned
Mr. Mitchell principally regarding con
ditions existing at the collierleo of the
couitiaules they represent These ques
tions were more or less technical. Mr.
Mitchell's answers us a rule differed
very little from the reasons given in his
preliminary statement to the conimls
Blon for Improved conditions for the
mine workers. Interest In the proceed
ings Is not waning. The targe crowds
which huve been wedged In the court
room in the preceding days of the
hearings were in evidence. Neither la
there a falling off in the attendance of
attorney, of whom there are almost
two score present at each session.

Trade Assembly.
SCIIENKt'TADY. N. Y., Nov. 19.
The boycott against the Schenectady
Hallway company will contlnu. Tha
Trades assembly held a long and
stormy meeting last night, at which a
resolution was offered to reconsider the
resolution ordering the boycott, but a
forgotten clause In the constitution to
the effect that any action taken at a
regular meeting could not be reconsid
ered at ft special meeting was pro
duced, and so no action whatever was
taken. At the conclusion of the meet
ing, which lasted about two hours, the
Tress committee, composed of Presi
dent IVenry V. Jackson, Secretary Ed
ward Uttlng and William Martin, the
three men who are recognized as the
leaders of the radical element abso
lutely refused to give out any Informa
tion whatever, declaring that the news
papers of this city and the entire coun
try were opposed to them In their tight.
The result of the meeting was prac
tically a riot. It was evident that a
large majority favored calling the boy
cott off, but any attempt at argument
was biet with hisses and yells of dis
approval from the radical element.
Cries of "Traitor:" and "Scab:" greeted
every conservative speech, while the
advocates of continuance drowned
each other's voices in their efforts to be
heard.
A crowd of 3D0 or 400 work.ngmen,
with dinner palls In their hands, was
standing outside the hall waiting for
the decision. When the delegates came
out and told what was done, the crowd
hissed and groaned, indicating unmis
takably what Is the general feeling of
the men toward the boycott.
