I bolloVo Mi', Huberts to bo a supporter of tho union movement. Q. Or. Hobnrts Bays In a. publication cnlled "The Anthra clto Coal Industry" on pngo 1." us 1 am assured; "employes under nionopullsllo control, shine In tbo Increased prollts ot operator, nnd for this renson working men often do not object to it monopoly. If tbo Miners' union" Tbut Is your or ganization "nnd tbo coal syndicate." thdre Isn't any, but It there Is my friend Mr. "Wolvcrlou will talto euro of It mid I nm not In It (lausbter) "It tho MlneiH' union nnd tbo coal syndicate can ugrco In their common Interest ns against the , juthllo" there Is where yon sttlko mu, you see "thoro Is no reason why tboio cannot be n long season of liulusliliil prosperity in tho anthracite coal Holds. Belt Interest" Thoro wo come again to the question of Cain "should unite both capital and labor In tho itnthrnelte coal fields, and It can bo done, It practical rea son on both Hides shall control." ' Do you ndhet'o to that sentiment? A. That Is not tin expression of my views, by any means. Q. Do you favor a union of the miners you represent, your organization and tbo coal operators In common Interest ns ngnlnst tho public. A. No; I do not favor it as against the public. Q. "Well, will you, assuming that neither our freight rates pay dividends to tho owners of tho property nor our coal com panies pay any dividends to the owners Of tho property, and as It Is Impossible to subtract something from uthlng, will you point out why Air. Roberts Is not ex actly right In declaring that tbo union you ask will be against the public? A. I should not euro to point out at nil any thing about that statement of Mr. Rob erts. Wo expect Dr. Roberts to testify in tho case, and 1 have no doubt, that bo will bo nbuudnntly nblo to substantiate bis own statements. Engineers nnd Pump Runners. Referring to tho calling1 out of the steam men, engineers and pump run ners, Mr. MacVengh proceeded to show that It was done to put the operators to the alternative of deciding in twelve days whether they would grant the miners' demands or suffer the destruc tion of their property with Its conse quence of Indefinite Idleness and a coal famine. Q. Undoubtedly; but you still du not get the point. You are n good enough American as good as any American to knew that no American accepts dictation kindly. lie does not like the limit drawn on him either In games (laughter) or In lifo, and the moment you draw a limit of twelve days and annex to tho conces sion of your demand that specific length of time, under a threat that their prop el ty will be destroyed, you nro doing something totally different from calling out tbo mine workers a totally different class of action; because, as 1 say, you arc then striking not only at tbo two classes whom Mr. Roberts thinks ought to join, tbu mine owners and the mine woikors, but you are striking at that third class winch you two ought to join to exploit-thc public. A. Well, Jlr. Mc Vci.gli, 1 quite agree that no one likes to bo dictated to, but when men nro ad viucd to go to tbo employers and request them to permit tlieni to work an eiglit 1 oui day, when they try to arbitrate the differences, when they offer to defer to nu investigation all without success then tba time comes for dictation. Q. Very well, then, if that twelve days was given for tho purpose, and was a leafonubie time for tho purpose of allow- - lug otner men to come in anil preserve 1ho property by taking the places of the men who went on strike, that Is reason able; that I can perfectly understand, but then you call that man who goes in to help preserve our property a "scab," nnd you subject him and his family to a life which it Is needless again to charac terize, hut which is intolerable, beeauso ho comes In tu protect our property from destruction, when our property is to fur nish the public with coal, anil to furnish your men with employment, and t would be glad to have any further explanation you can give, or if you do not care to give any, why wo will pass that and go on. At this juncture Sir, SlacVeugh en tered upon the long-drawn-out story of the "reign of terror" consequent upon the strike. Prom the printed summary of seventy-three pages ho read of one after another of the violent nets per petrated during the strike, and showed when be could thpy were traceable to union strikers. Wnrnke washery? lie was warned by a boinuRh constable standing on tbo steps of the borough jail to put up his note book, and that If ho did not, "t will tell these Polish countrymen of mine In my InngunRu and they will break your bend?" A. I never beard of such on In stance. Q. Or of nny such conduct by an oltk'cr of tho peace? A, I never heard or It. Q. Did yon hear of the case of Mike Ciiiiinignn, a borough constable nt Grassy Island who, when tho troops wore llred on at night, a Hcarch light was turned on Immediately, nnd ti man seen running away, with Ida gun In hand, nnd when ho was caught It was discovered thnt he imis tbo constable? A. 1 never heard of it. An editorial tin the passing of the "scab," printed in tho llnzloton Trade Unionists, was here Introduced. It was In the best style of a man who wanted to be elegantly mean and couldn't, nnd provoked much laughter. Judge Gray remarked "The man who wrote thnt must have put a wet towel on his head when he .got through," Q. Because certain thliurs have fol lowed from your eruption into this dis trict, bringing with you your organization, that 1 ask you to consldor, not whether you think the yoke of your organization ought to be put upon our necks, but whether these disinterested gentlemen nro at liberty to put It there against our pro test. You ciirao into these Holds nnd you Inaugurated this strike on the 8th of Slay. On tbo llrst of July, Lulgl Vanassa ut the Duryea colliery, was killed. On the third of July Drummond dinger was killed at Riookslde. On the 30th of July Joseph Ueddall was killed at Shenandoah. On tho third o August John 11. Llnebcart was killed at Mnhnnoy Plain.

William Durham was killed at Sbenandoab. a total of four teen murders in this region between tho Inauguration of the strike und tho ap pointment of this commission. Who Killed Them? A. You might tell the commission who The Schneider Case, CJ. Did ynu have your attention called to tho case of John and Rlioda Schneider Schneider being a foreman at Dorrancc colliery, who bad been threatened. Mrs. Schneider endeavored In see you and fulled. Diil you bear of her endeavor? A. 1 never heard of It, Q. She saw in stead Sir. John Fallon, one of your members, to protect her home. You know -Mr. John Fallon? A. Yes, sir. Q. Did you hear that that night It was set mi llio and burned down, with its entire contents? A. 1 saw it In tbo papers; yct sir, Q, You spoke about men relying on tho loea! authorities. Was tbcro a report innde to you of a newspaper man taking notes at Duryea during a lint, at tho WMk It is a great affliction for a woman to have her face disfigured by pimples or any form of eruptive disease, It makes her morbid anil sensitive, ami robs her of social enjoyment. Disfiguring erup tions arc caused by impure blood, and are entirely cured by the great blood purifying medicine Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It removes from the blood the poisonous impurities which cause disease, It perfectly and perman ently cures scrofulous sores, eczema, tetter, boils, pimples and other eruptive diseases which are caused by the blood's impurity, It increases the action of the blood-making glands ami thus in creases the supply of pure rich blood. "For ubout one year and a half mv face was very badly broken out." writes Miss Carrie Adams, of n6 West Main Street, Uattlecreek, Mich. "I pent a great deal of moiiev with doc tors and for different kinds of mediclue, but ie reived no benefit. At last I read one of your advertisements in a paper, and obtained a bottle of J)r. Pierce's Oolilen Medical Discovery. He. fore I had taken one bottle of this medicine I noticed a change, and after takliie three bottle 1 was entirely cured. 1 can well recommend I)r, Pierce's iiotden Medical Discovery to auy one similarly afflicted," The sole motive for substitution Is to permit the dealer to make the little more profit paid by the sale of less mer itorious medicines. He gains ; vou lose, Therefore accept no substitute for "Golden Medical Discovery." The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser, a book containig joo8 pages, is given away. Send at one-cent stamps for expense of mailing only, for the book in paper covers, or 31 stamps for the vol ume bound in cloth. Address Dr. K, V, Tierce, Buffalo, N. V, killed them. (Mr. Darrow handed a memorandum to witness). By Sir. SlnoVeagb: tj. How do you explain the coincidences between tbo inauguration of your strike and tlio killing of more men than were killed in tho battle of Santiago? A. Quite a largo number of those you say were killed, were killed by the coal and iron police. Q. I wanted Sir. Dnrrow to give you that list. Will you kindly name those who were killed by the coal and lion police. Mr. Darrow has tabulated it for , you? A. Well, I observe in your second one here a man killed by accident. 1 do not want the union to bo held respon sible for men who are killed by accident. Q. Not unless it was an accident which resulted from the union. A. Joseph Bed dull was killed at Shenandoah. There nro now under arrest, and their trial In prog ress, I believe, a saloon keeper and a butcher for killing him, and one miner. Daniel Sweeney wns killed by men who were on strike and who have confessed that they killed him. Patrick Sharp was murdered by the coal and Iron police, no question about It, no one else charged with It. 1 do not know this John Co.'iy. 1 presume lie was a non-union man. I do not know the circumstances in connec tion with him. Patrick Sharp a deputy accidentally discharged a rifle and shot and killed Paul Hanlock, a non-union man. Our union is certainly not respon sible for that. John Winston, a non union man, clubbed to death at Oiyphant by mob; several foreigners arrested. From what 1 know of this, I understand there is very little, evidence to show who committed this crime. Whoever it is should bo punished as they ought to lie; but I understand thnt tbo authorities have no reason to boiievo that it was done by strikers. 1 may be In error ubout it. Joseph Gllllu wns shot by James Sweeney on the street, Joseph Oillln was u man on strike. He walked along tho road holding his little girl by tbo hand, and a non-union worker crept up behind them and shot him dead. James Mullln was found In tbu railroad track. lie was a mine foreman, It Is generally accepted that be was killed by accident by tho train. At least 1 understand no miner bus been nrrested for his death. The county detectives snld It was due to acci dent. James Durham was shot and killed by a soldier at Tnmanun. Janus Dur ban, ns far as my Information goes was a deaf man, a veteran of the war. He walked along within tho lines where tho soldiers were stationed. Ho failed to halt when be was ordered. Ho did not hear tho call to halt. Hu moved forward. Ho was ordered to bait again, Ho did not hear it and he was shot dead by a soldier. The civil nutlioiltles have asked for tbo soldier's arrest, but beeauso of some differences with the military author ities they so far have boon unnble to bring him to trial. In the case of this stabbing, James Sonder stabbed a man at Plymouth. I understand that thoro weie some men who went Into a saloon nnd got into a quarrel there. From what I Imvo been able to learn nbout It there is 110 connection between It and the strike Itself. The Fourteen Deaths. Q. So Hint of the fourteen deaths, your oiganlzatlou suffered three, ono of whom was drunk and was violating; tho rules, and tho non-union men, who were not numbers of the union, suffered eleven derails? A. Oh, well, you understand Q, They were not members of tbo union? A. And many of tho deaths were not through members of tho union. Q, I understand th.it. A. They killed 0110 un other. 0. Yes, I am not asking about that. I am linking ns to tho fact that, t'lliillnntliiff tho case of tho man who was Irloxlcatcd, there were two members of your association who, you say, were un justly killed? A. Thoro may bo moio than thnt of this number. I might i-ay thnt tho names nro not familiar to me. that 1 want to go through them. Q, And there are eleven non-union men, Now, 1 waul you to explain how eleven non union men came to be killed In tills reg ion after you Inaugurated a peaceable stilko? A. Well, I do not know In what way. John Thompson was killed by ucc. dent. Q. No, but taking the number of men in. 11 woi wuu violent uoaiiis, enn you give us Mime Idea? A. f do not know why they killed one another. The reading of further Items from the criminal rulendnr of the strike oc cupied the remainder of the afternoon. Assaults nu non-unionists, bunging In elligy, burning of homes, dynamiting hooting, serenading, throwing men Intt rivers, shooting, clubbing, mobs nt tacking single men ad Inliutuiii, ud lib itum, were marshalled In telling array nnd by Inference laid ut the door of the miners' union. "Don't you think," said Sir. Mac Veagh, "that this was what you notili. cull 11 foretaste of hell?" Mr. Slltchell admitted that If sucl conditions existed they would be In tolerable, but denied (hut these thlngt os torn ny sir. aiucveagn were true. Q. You do udnilt that If these outrage occurred they would have deterred out men from returning lo work? A. I Bald that I do ndt believe they would Imvo re turned to work under nny circumstances. Q. No, but you now admit, what you did not up to this lime, that 'If these acts oc curred they mny Imvo deterred our men from going lo work? A, They might hnvo deterred Romo of your men from going to work. Q. Yes. Therefore Ibis reign of terror was an clement in your succosa? A. I deny that there wns this reign of terror. Sly Information Is that thoro wns not. The reign of terror was very largely lb the newspapers. Dynamite a Weapon. Q, Dynamlto now appears for tho llrst tlmo as nn efficient weapon. What, In your judgment, Is tho effect nt tho Intro duction of dynamlto upon the minds of women rind children? A. Our opinion 13 Hint It was introduced by the coul com panies. Q, Yos, I have no doubt ot it; but the coat companies blew up the houses ot their own employes? A., We shall pos sibly lutrodtico witnesses' to tell you something nbout It. Q. I have not nny doubt of it. I hnvo hoard enough testimony In my life to bo surprised ut nothing: hut you will haVo to get your explanation by some process not yet known of why the owners ot our properties wished to blow up these very comfortable homes of which wo saw pho tographs. Do you allege that? A. No, sir. Q. You do allege that tbo operators en deavored to blow up the homes of men working In the mines? A. No, I do not. Q. You knew that dynamlto was used against the non-strikers? A. I saw it in the newspapers. Q. And did you hurry hero to Investigate it? A. 1 did not; I do not know that it was used here. Q. You did not know It wns used against the non union men? A. Wlicro do you meun? Q. I menn In this region. A. I had seen In tbo papers on various occasions where dynamite had been exploded nt the bridges, and I think onco or twice near houses; but I want to sny that a miner knows bow to use explosives too well to explodo dynamite without injuilng peo ple, If bo wanted to Injuro tiiem, and it is rather peculiar that in all tho explosions of dynamite that took place no building was destroyed and no person seriously hurt. The miners. If they wanted to de stroy by dynamite, would do It better than that. Q. Do you not see that that gives your own cases away? A. No, 1 do not fee how. Q. Because they did not want to kill, but they wanted to Intimidate, with out the danger of having their necks stretched on tho gallows; they Intimidated men, women and children Q. Can you give a slnglo instance of your union disciplining any ono for law lessness? A. I have tried to tell you, In as plain language as I am capable of, that J. have repeatedly tried; and will Introduce my own addresses to our members, advis ing them not to violate the laws, to be careful to observe the law. The cases as you read them I do not know, and I think it would be advisable to let us know who did those things. Q. Of course orders nro Iven, and you glvo yours in sincerity. An Incident that adorns tho dramatic lit erature of England is where tho care takers of two young princes are admon ished in the most exalted language to take the greatest possible euro of them, and yet they both die in tho night and no body suffers. That was tbo trouble. STATEMENT OF THE NON-UNION WORKERS The statement of the non-union men, represented by Attorneys Lenahan and O'Brien, was filed yesterday. It reads as follows: The non-union mine workers we repre sent present to the said commission the following statement of their demands: First For an increase of 20 per cent, upon the price paid during tbo year 1001, to employes performing contract and piece work. Second For a like increase of 20 per cent, upon tbo prices paid during the year 1901, to employes paid by tho hour, day or week. This request for increased wages, rath er than decrease of hours of labor, la earnestly urged because such increase of wages .will apply to the class of labor now receiving least pay at tho mines, and being, therefore, the class which is especially in need of Increase of wages. Instead of desiring a Toductlon in tho hours of employment, wo Insist upon a right to work as many hours as we choose, and as opportunity nffords, so as to better our conditions and Increaso our earning capacity; and we Insist that tbo operators shall not conduct their mines in such a way as to favor certain work ers In certain chambers nnd places of labor, to tbo detriment of others who are willing to work, At tho same time, we insist upon tbo right of any of us to do as nilich work as tbo opportunity in the particular mine affords or oijfers, even though It may result In less work being done by another employe, who through Indisposition Is not willing' to work when tho opportunity affords, o'r by reason of any contract with the mlno workers' union restricting bis own class of labor. Third Wo demand the adoption at each colliery of whatever methods may be necessary and practicable to secure for the miner a minimum rate of 00 cents per ton of 2,210 pounds upon all coal sold from said colliery, the differentials now existing at tho various mines to be main tained. Protest Against Agreement. Fourth We protest ugiilnit tho making of any agreement between the United Sllno Workers of America and our em ployers determining what wages shall be paid to us, and what shall be tho con ditions of our employment, or pretending to deal in any respect whatever with our rights or Interests as mine workers. Fifth Wo earnestly protest against any nsi cement being made by our employers with tbo United Sllno Workers of Ameri ca, for tho reason that any agreement, if made, will render it Impossible for us to continue to earn our living by our labors in and about the mine In which we nro now employed, or to which such agtccment applies, and will subject us and our families to nil manner of abuse, Violence, outrage and probably murder. Sixth We insist that it shall bo an in dlspensnhlo condition to nny dealing what ever with nny members of tho Sllua Workers' union of America In tho an thracite coal (leids that they shall bo ef fectually required to desist from all man nor of nnnoynnco to us and to our fam ilies nnd shall permit us to exerclso our right to earn our living In nny lawful manner wo choose, and under any con dltlons which nro mutually satisfactory to our employers and ourselves, Seventh Wo protest against nny rule, limiting or restricting tho number of cais to be furnished to a contractor, miner or laborer for tho purpose of loading tho Bame, whether such rule be mado either by tbo operators, the United Sllno Work ers, or by mutual agreement of both ot thorn, providing that tbo furnishing- of tba Increased number of cars to any con tractor, minor or laborer docj not In any way restilct tho number of cars to bo furnished others, und wo Insist thnt u rule shall ho adopted and sliictly en forced compeling drivers In tho mine or those having charge In the management und distribution of the mine cars to the miner, contractor mid laboior not to fa vor any particular miner, contractor or laborer in inicb distribution to tbo detrl mont and exclusion ot olber contractors, miners ami laborers, I'lghth-Wo bellevo It to bo an iualleii able and undoubted right to work when we can obtulu it, and to receive as com nciisatloii for it the best price wo can ob. tain.
