Mr. Torrcy brought out thai strikes
ciin bo declnrcd by a bare majority
vote; th til boys under JO yours ot age
have a half vote, and over 1C a full
voto, and that the last strike was de
clared by loss thnn a seven per cent,
majority.
Mr. Toirey iiIho put In evidence a
ropy of Mr. Mitchell's statement of the
day following the .Shenandoah riot of
July .11, In which ho declined no one
had been killed or seriously Injured;
that the stories had been greatly exag
gerated uud the facts distorted, and
that tho trouble rould have been avert
ed If the deputies were cool and dis
creet. Mr. .Mitchell explained that the state
ment was based on Information which
he considered tellable at tho time.
Mr. Darrow ot this juncture mudo
to the commission a statement of the
reasons a trades union does not want
to he Incorporated. Principal among
tliesc was that If an operator for In
stance sued a union nnd got Judgment
ngulnst It. which the union was finan
cially unable to meet, the operator
rould apply for a receiver and wind up
the organization. A trade union, un
like a business, can not be run by n
receiver.
Major Warren drew attention to tho
fact that In Pennsylvania there Is it
special statute for Incorporating1 trades
unions, which docs away with Mr. Dar
row's dlftlculty.
Paid for by Weight.
Attorney John J. Murphy hero Intro
duced the act of March SO, 187ii. provid
ing that all coal shall bo paid for by
weight, whore practicable to weigh It,
and pointed out that while It might he
the case that It was generally supposed
this act was repealed by the general
mining act of 1891, such was not the
case. The only repealing clause In the
general act was one to the effect that
"all acts or parts of acts Inconsistent
hciewlth are hereby repealed." Mr.
Murphy pointed out that there was
nothing lu the general act with which
the act of 187i could be Inconsistent.
Commissioners niuy and Parker ex
pressed surprise that such an Import
ant act should have been lost sight of,
and declared It would be an Important
factor in determining the commission
ers' action on the question of weigh
ing coal, providing It was sustained.
None of the companies' attorneys chal
lenged the accuracy of Sir. Murphy's
claim.
On le-dlrect examination Mr. Mitch
ell, lu answer to Mr. Darrow's ques
tions told, among other things, that
the division of sentiment at the Hanlc
ton convention was not as to whether
or not to strike, but as to the time to
begin the strike. Mr. Mitchell, himself,
favored the strike this year, but ad
vised that It be not entered upon until
later.
By Mr. Dnrrowi
Q. Mr. Mitchell, when this strike wnn
declared, did anybody excepting the nn
thracllo. mine workers voto tinon tho
question? A. No. sir. Q. Yoil did not In
nURUrato this strike yourself? A. No, sir.
Q. Something hns been said oh lo the
mnjorlty by which this Rlrlko was do
clnrcd. Was the division of sentiment
purely ns to tho tlmo of striking? A.
Yes, sir. The division on tho dnto was
caused purely by my advice that tho
stilke bo not Inaugurated ot that lime.
Q. You thought It would bo more fn
vorahlo to delay It? A 1 h.id two pur
poses hi seeking the delay. One was tho
llngeilng hopo that wo might bo able to
sooiiro bettor conditions of employment,
or better relationship by mediation or
by conferenco with tho operators. Kail
lug In that, the oilier was that wo would
Inaugurate the strike at a moro propitious
time.
Q. Your opposition, or nny opposition In
tho organization had no refoicnco to tho
Injustice of these demands? A. None at
all, simply that wo might moro speedily
lomedy the conditions, that tho sttlko
would not bo so protracted It Inaugur
ated later In the year.
Q. Now, somo questions wore asked ns
to cases of contract. Supposing where
a contract existed any loeal organization
should fall to carry out that contract,
then what would ba done as to that or
ganization? A. Wo should repilinand
them at once, and Immediately advise
them to carry out tho contract. Q. On
falluro to do It? A. On failure, to carry
out tho contiacl, wo would cither sus
pend them from tho orgaiilzntlon or ie-
voko their charters. Q. All these organi
zations have a charter from the general
body? A. Yes, sir. Q. And the way you
discipline the locals, the last discipline,
Is to revoke their charters? A. Yes, sir.
Q. Then, In case that happens, would
other union men go on and entry out the
contract? A. If any part of the employ
er's particular men were willing to carry
out the contracts, we would immediately
reorganize and nllow them to catry out
thu contract. If none of them were will
ing to do thiit. we' would take tho char
ter and make tho mine non-union. Q. So
the work would go on? A. It would go on
as a non-union mine.
Q. One clauso of your constitution, I
believe, speaks of no miner being al
lowed to have moro than two laborers. A.
Yes, sir. Q. What Is the purpose of that?
A. Well, one purpose Is to prevent favor

Conditions in This Region.
Rev. Dr. Roberts took the stand when
Mr. Mitchell stepped down at 12.15, nnd
was still on at adjourning time, under
cross-examination by Mr. AVolvcrton,
counsel for the Heading company. Dr.
Roberts was examined In chief by Mr.
Darrow. He began by giving n raft of
information concerning conditions In
the anthracite region.
Some of his information was its fol
lows: The coal region Is ISO square miles In
extent, embracing eight counties. Tho
total population is 650,000. Of this
number 450,000 are directly dependent
on the coal Industry.
In nrrlvlng'dt his findings regard
ing wages, Rev. Dr. Roberts said be
had consulted due bills mainly. Ex
treme cases where a minor earned $150
a month or worked n month without
any net earnings were discarded.
Mr. AA'olverton protested this was not
good evidence. It would be necessary
ho said to cull In each miner to llnd out
how it buppened he earned so little or
so much. Tho companies, ho said,
would put In primary evidence showing
"what every minor received. Sir. Dar
row agreed that his side would be con
tent if the companies would do this.
Tho witness wus next asked If condi
tions had changed in mining conditions
of a general character. He said there
had been. Tho big veins have been
worked out and the thin ones are be
ing developed. As Mr. Burns had stat
ed, the independent operators are work
ing the more difficult veins.
There are four methods of payment,
car, weight, yard and day. The wages
are not at all uniform In the region,
and discrimination makes very dissim
ilar -wages in the same mine.
Ten or fifteen per cent, of the total
production of the northern coal fields Is
paid for by weight: in the middle field
none by weight, and In the southern,
30 per cent, by the car, and 70 per cent,
by the yard.
The size of the car has grown stead
ily since the car method was adopted.
After the strike of 'Oft. tho Delaware,
Lackawanna nnd Western, Delaware
and Hudson and Pennsylvania com
panies, which refused to adopt the
sliding scale fixed with their employes
on a rate of 93t cents a car for the
Diamond car. The witness said the
Diamond car originally contained from
74 to 7fi cubic feet and was to have six
inches of topping. The present cal
varies from SO to 92 cubic feet.
BEECHAM'S
PILLS
o
How Topping Is Lost.
A car loaded in the mine seldom has
the same "topping" when it reaches
the surface. Miners some times "crib"
their cars In loading, putting In the
coal so that it will leave large spaces.
This will cause n settlement when the
car is jolted In transportation. Some
times a car that is fairly and properly
loaded will have its topping scraped off
by low roof. The natural "shaking
down" of coal in transportation from
the breast to the breaker averages live
per cent. A miner is never allowed,
anything extra If there is more than
six Inches of topping. Payment by tho
car has been the cause of dissatisfac
tion and complaint ever since 1S50, said
the witness.
in the early days of mining the
miners were principally Irish, AA'clsh,
English, Scotch nnd Germans. In 1S70
Southern Europeans began to come In
large numbers. Tn 1S0O this Immigra
tion begun to full off. The mode of
living of the early miner and tho new
comer Is vastly different.
In lS70-'"fi the emigrants were slnglo
men. After that married men and their
families began to come. All the South
ern Europeans, excepting tho Italians,
who came nftcr 1S75, as a general rule
can be considered settlers.
Strikes began In 18G8, .lust after tho
war for tho 8-hour day. For two years
there was almost constant friction. In
1S70 the Southern Europeans began to
flunk In here.
In answer to a question by Commis
sioner AVatkins ns to whether or not
in his Investigations he had found any
evldenco of the corporations being In
terested In tho Importation of the-e
Immigrants. The witness said that
Slavs, themselves, had told htm that
coal operators, especially the independ
ent operators, had been Instrumental

During llio last len years these peo
ple Imvo liern rapidly becoming' own
ers of their own homes.
In Olyphrint nnd tho Second wnrcl oC
Blithely, the witness said, thero nro
4,133 mine- employes. In this saino
community thero aro sixty-four hoys
under 14 years of npre workhif,- In tho
mines. Twenty.four under 12 years,
and ten working under ground who
arc under It years of age,
The witness also lold, Incidentally,
that daughters of miners aro working
at night In silk mills, and asked that
It be formally protested against "in the
name ot humanity."
The average ago at which miners'
children leave fcchoo, taking Muhanoy
Oily and Taylor as crlterlons, Is y3
years. In tho mining regions, of tho
pupils In High schools, less than 5 per
cent, are miners' children, and less than
2 per cent, aro among the graduates.
Tho average number of paupers In
Pennsylvania Is 173 In 100,000. m the
anthracite region the average Is 193 In
100,000.
To bliaw tho hazardous character of
tho miners' employment, Dr, Roberts
gave a mass of ilgures nnd compari
sons. Tho average number killed In
the anthracite mines Is greater than
tho average among railroad employes,
though, as to accidents, the conditions
aro reversed. In tho last twenty-one
years, the number of Inside employes
in the nnthrnclto mines who wera fa
tally Injured was 4.42 to the 1,000.
The region has numerous churches,
and the people are, generally speaking,
regular church goers, the witness said.
Thero are many Catholics among jho
people, possibly a majority, nnd all of
these attend church very religiously.
There are eleven hospitals lu tho reg
ion, only one of which, the Moses Tay
lor hospital, is not either a state or
quasi-public Institution.
The coming of the United Mine
Workers, the witness said, tended to
better tho people, especially the foreign-speaking
mine workers. The de
crease of saloons In Schuylkill county
was cited as an Indication of this. By
association In the local meetings with
the English-speaking men they wern
given a coiihciousness of importance
and Individual worth.
There have been eleven big strikes in
tho region in fifty years, about half ot
them general. These strikes took place
In 1S50, 1S6S, 1S69, 1S70-71, 1S72, 1873, 1S77,
1S79, 18S7 and 1S8S.
In answer to a question by Commis
sioner Clark as to whether or not tho
violence In the last strike was greater
than 'during previous strikes, the wit
ness said he was not able to testify as
to this. The reports of violence, how
ever, were greatly exaggerated lu tho
newspapers.
Dr. Roberts was cross-examined by
Mr. AA'olverton, attorney for the Read
ing company, relative to his statistics.
First he had tho witness admit that ho
got most of his Ilgures from tho bureau
of mines and department of labor. Mr.
AVolverton then created some amu.se
niont by asking the witness to give his
opinion as to the reliability of various
book reports and the like, among which
was an 1901 publication on Anthracite
Alining by Commissioner Parker; and
1901 reports by Commissioner Wright,
head of the department of labor, anil
Assistant Recorder Mosely, secretary ot
the inter-state commerce commission.
Tho witness admitted these nre reliable.
Mr. Wolverton got tho witness to ad
mit that It Is impracticable to pay by
weight in "pitching veins," which ob
tain so generally in the southern dis
trict, where the Reading company's
mines are all located. Mr. Darrow in
terrupted to explain that tho miners
were not asking for payment by weight
in pitching veins. The demand was for
payment by weight where practicable,
ho explained. In pitching veins it la
impossible to throw the rock and slate
aside. It must be sent out with the
coal. Therefore it Is necessary to pay
in this region by the yard.
The impracticability of apportioning
the prepared product equally among tho
miners as a means of fixing a basis of
pay was also admitted by tho witness.
It would not be fair to the company,
because It would decrease output nnd
It would not bo fair to tho energetic
miner to make hiin accept the samo
share as a luzy one.
Excerpts from Book. '
Mr. Wolverton then began reading
somo excerpts from Dr. Roberts' book
published last year and presuming to
bo an exhaustive general and technical
treatise on the anthracite coal regions.
Ono of the first things Mr. Wolverton
road from the book was: "Tho Read
ing company has the reputation of
dealing fulrly and justly with Its em
ployes," "Is that correct?" Inquired Commis
sioner Wntklns,
"I'll admit Its reliability," replied Mr.
Wolverton,
Ono of the next tilings ho read was
the declaration that tho Ungllsh-speak-Ing
miners, us a uile, aro not as in
dustrious ns tho forelgn-speaklng
miners; that they rarely spend more
than live hours a dny in Iho mines.
Other excerpts from various, pages ot
the book were Introduced to prove tho
very contentions tho operators nre
making. One passage very particularly
set forth that tho variation of wnges
was closely linked with the very vari
able conditions und that it was imprac
ticable to make rates of wnges uni
form. Dr, Roberts admitted this was
true now as It wus when ho wrote his
book, but he wanted to add that there
was no reuiou why the tnmo class of
labor should not receive the sumo pay
where conditions were similar. The
samo allowances should be made, ho
thought, for setting props, cutting rock,
balling water and tho like in all col
lieries In a district.
Mr. Wolverton was still engaged In
examining' Dr. Roberts on his book
when adjourning time came,
