borne prominent feature of mining was
rncountercd all. would Rather nround,
while some one would explain about It.
Explained. Things.
Mr. Watklns generally did the ex
plaining. Whenever ho was not exact
ly sure of his facto ho would appeal to
Mr. May, Mr. Nlcholls, Mr. Collins or
some other to corroborate or correct
him. Occasionally there would be a
brief discussion, In which representa
tives of the opposing sides would par
ticipate, but at no time was there what
might be called an argument. All
seemed dcslrotw of setting matters
dearly end faltly before the commis
sioners, and the latter evinced a keen
desire to find out everything there was
to be found out.
The companies' representatives and
the miners' representatives were not
only civil, but very courteous to one
another. There was no effusiveness on
cither side, but neither side gave Indi
cation by word, deed or omission that
the other was recently, und is yet, a
determined, aggressive and It might be
-aid desperate opponent in one of the
greatest Industrial contllcts the wot Id
has ever known.
The coming of the commissioners
having been heralded in all the papers,
the miners were expecting thein, and
fiom a study of their pictures In the
papers were generally able to identify
them. At the depot a small crowd was
gathered as the party alighted. As they
passed through the town, people came
to their doorways to watch them. At
the mines they were the objects of es
pecial interest to the men whose mo
mentous case is now in their hands,
and on whose findings depends so much
that will work for their good or ill.
Occasionally the commissioners talked
with a miner who would be eneounteied
on their travels, and one time the whole
party gathered around a handsome
niccd little Lithuanian dooiboy and
piled him with questions. His nnswcis
were given with little hesitancy and
very intelligently. He proved an ob-
.ipct or much interest to the rommls
pioners who aie from outside the coal
belt.

The tiip through the mines was made
with only one Might niish.ip. The car
in which General Wilbon, Judge Orav,
Mr. Clark. Mr. Parker and their guides
were riding jumped the track and
bounded along the ties for a .short dis
tance. Nearly a score of mlnei.s hut lied to
the spot and insisted on lifting the car
bark to the rails without allowing the
distinguished visitors to go to the
trouble of climbing out and In again.

At 3 o'clock the party bomded the
train and proceeded to Conlbtook
breaker at C'arbondale, eating luncheon
in the club car. en loule.
The commissioners had an interest
ing time at the Coalbrook breaker at
Cnihonclale. They werft to tho top of
the great, black building and inspected
all the machinery down to the giounrl
They were much interested in the nleii
and boys who aio employed in picking
slate and boney fiom the coal. From
the breaker, the now tired commission
ers were escorted to the chute where
me com, nesn out of the mine, is sent
to the breal.er by means of a "con
veyer." It is bete where one ot the
pnnclpjl bones of contention between
the cmploje and emplojer is found
The miners maintain they aio often
unjustly dooked by tho docking bosses
for the amount of slate, bonev or other
icfuse found in the coal. The com
missioners watched the work of tho
boss closely and saw him dock several
miners because, in his judgment, theio
was too much foreign matter in the
car of coal.
A few feet away is the place wheie
tho cars of coal are weighed. After
the seven commissioners had watched
tho weighing of coal for a while, Mr.
Clark inqulicd how many pounds con
stituted a ton at this colliery. Super
intendent Cryden of the Ontario and
"Western thought it was about S00
pounds, but District President Nlcholls
said It was a little over n.ion nnnnrie
The two began to discuss the question
each maintaining he was jight.
Question of a Ton.
Mr. Nlcholls said that granting that
2.S00 was correct those figures are too
Jilgh. He said when the companies fix
ed 2.S0O pounds to constitute a ton s0
ns to get out of it 2,210 pounds of puie
coal, tho operators did not sell pe.i
foal in the market. Now they have a
market for pea coal and about three
other Blzeg below It, and the miners'
ton of 2,800 pounds has not been de
creased. Judge Gray was an interested listen
er to the discussion. He stood by with
Ills hands deep in his overcoat pockets
and never uttered a word. It was quite
evident that both Mr. Nlcholls and
Mr. Bryden tiled to make a good im
pression with the commissioner, but
what ho thought he did not even ex
press in his actions.
While the discussion was on, the col
liery whistle blew the signal for quit
ting, and then the judge broke In with
"Well, gentlemen, it is 5 o'clock and I
guess wa will have to stop work." This
interruption broke up what might have
grown Into a heated discussion us to
how many pounds should constitute a
ton at the mouth of the mine befoie
the coal Is cleaned,
Shortly after 5 o'clock the return tilp
was undertaken. It was Intended to go
back by wny of the Ontatlo and West
ern road and make a stop at OI pliant,
but these plans had to be abandoned on
account of the lateness of the hour.
Set union was leached at ii t!0 and the
party repalied to the Jeiinyn to "wash
up," have dinner and take u nuiih
needed lest.
After the luncheon on the cal at i'iii
bondale, the cninuilsMoneit; had a oon
feience and decided to adopt Dlttl(t
Piesldent Nlcholls .suggestion that
they visit the Manvlllu mines, in (been

alternate months by the Doliiwuie and

mine and pietty much woiked out.
Conditions there aie claimed by the
mineis to be unusually bad. Mr. Nlch

At the base of all manufactures lies
coal. And I suppose that no one of us
has ever so thoioughly appreciated
how essential it is even to life as ho
bus within the- last three or four
months. Wo pioduco one-third of nil
the coal mined in tho world. In ISlul
wo mined 170,000,000 tons of coal, but in
laoo wo mined 241,000,000 tons of coal, a
difference in other words of 70,000,000
tons. Now-, my friends, if you will take
and calculate how many it takes to
transport 70,000,000 tons of coal to the
place of ecmsumptlon, iiow much ot
power 70,000,000 of tons of coal adds to
the woild's power, if you will then cal
culate how many miles each of those
employed in tho vailous phases of that
gieat industry Is called upon to tiavel,
you will have some faint Idea of tho
difference between Democratic ltJtf and
Republican 1001. John Dalzell.
