CONFERENCE
IS ON FOR
TOMORROW
rConcluded from Pago l.
likely see u conferenco of all the big
companies' picsldents and Attorneys In
New Yoik.
Tho mine woikers continue to give
out the Impression that the ovcrtmca
for n settlement cnine from tho oper
ators, but the operators hole deny It,
They declare tluit tho Illinois dlscov
eied they hud no case. One of them
said:
"If It was a case In comt wo should
simply ask for a non-suit. The miners
cannot submit a tabic of wages show
ing the amounts lecelved by the men,
and wo can, and tho figures will show
that the men are getting more than
Mr. Mitchell demands for them JGOO a
year us a living wage.
"Few of the companies have nn aver
ago of less than $700."
"If that Is tho ease, why aio the oper
ators willing to give an increase?" ho
was asked.
"Because of the gcucial piospeilty of
tho country. The railroads have given
their men ten per cent., and with such
a number of employes ns the opeiatois
have wo cannot well refuse to give
them tin Incieasc too.
Fighting1 for Piinciple.
"Tho fact of tho matter Is that wo
wne never lighting so much against nn
Increase ns wo weio fighting for the
principle Imolved. We wanted to man
age our own properties, and we have
finally succeeded, we think, In doing so.
Recognition of the union was purely
and simply what tho oflicers of the mine
woikeis weio lighting for tlnougliout."
Itegaidlng the question of making
contmcts with the woikers and tho
manner In which It would be done, he
said: "We will probably ascertain what
our men believe the condition of work
should be, teach an agieement with
them reg.u ding It and post a notice at
tho mines as to what It will be. Theie
will be no signing of contracts with
each Individual woiker or with the col
lleiy employes' n a body."
Another teason why they aie anxious
to end the inquiry, It Is said, was ad
vanced bj a local independent opet
ator, who has made a close study of tho
situation.
"Under the laws of Pennsylvania," he
s.iid, "tallroad corpoiations are not per
mitted to engage In the business of
mining, and, it has been decided, may
not hold the majority of the stock of
any mining company. Se'veial of the
companies do own such majoilty con
tiol, and aie not anxious to disclose
the fact under oath on the witness
stand. Neither aio they eager to have
their ofllceis or men, who weie foimcily
oflicers, but aio not now in their em
ploy, to testify as to the cot,t and profit
of mining eoal, the tianspoitatlon
chaiges 01 the lebates gianted to the
shlppeis from their own mines.
"When the non-union mlneis asked
for the light to participate in the In
vestigation tho l.illroad lawjers sought
to have the list of their names kept
seciet This lequest was icfused by the
commission, though Judge Gray piom
ised th.it no Impioppr use would be
mude of the list. This 1 tiling- was a
pieccdent, and was understood to be
such It meant that no tcstimonv would
be taken in seciet, and that the nill
loads could not expect to piesent flg
uies relating to their business In cam
eia. Piom that moment they wanted
the inquiry stopped."
Among the piomlnent witnesses who,
it is alleged, the inilroad companies
aie nfiatd of Is Mr. Walter, piesldent
of the Lehigh Vallej, 'whose lesignatlon
was accepted by the boaid of dlrectois
this week.
Satui day's Proceedings.
As foiecast In Satuiday's Tilbune, the
mine stiiko commission had a ety
bilef session Satiuday morning and
then adjourned till December 3, to give
tho paitis oppoi Utility to settle their
diffeienees amicably. The independent
opei.Uors piotested against a settle
ment "out of court," asset ting there
,had been an undei standing between the
big companies and the mlneis to which
they had not been parties and that they
did not piopoje to be compelled to sub
sciibe to anything other parties might
agree to. Judge Gray assured the in
dependent opeiators there had been no
agieement leached as Mr as tlit coiu
missloneis knew and that no ngi ce
ments would be ratified by the commis
sion until all the parties concerned weie
patties to the agieement.
The commission adlouined and ap
pointed Commissioner Clark, Paiker
and AVatkins to icmnin heie ns a sub
eommltteo to act with the patties' .is
conciliators. Tho suh-commltteo called
together the attorneys who were still
In the city Satuiday afternoon, and
niter a confeieuce with them issued
the following statement:
Scianton, P.i., Nov. 2J, 190.'.
It appeals that thcio la aomn misunder

In connection with tho lecess taken by
tho commission and the suggestion m
that connection that possibly tho contest
ants might bo ablo to agieo upon gome of
tho important poluis Involved.
Tho i cress was deshed by counsel for
both sides because authmitntlve state
ments of hoius and wages which aio be
ing tfiepaied mo not as jet le.tdy.
Tho suggestion was mado that peih.ips

lug's half hour session weie wholly
devoted to tho question of teccss and
the Independent operators' protest.
Apprehended Is a verbatim icpoit of
the discussion:
By Mt, Bnrovv: Gentlemen of tho
commission Shite tho adjournment wo
hnvo consldcicd tho suggestion that tho
president made jestcrdny and wo wish to
sny that wo aro doing tho be.t wo can.
Wo havo Been, under the circumstances-,
tho Impossibility of getting the exact 11k
uies lero at once, and tho wisest thing
for all of us to do Is to adjourn the ses
sion hcie, without adjoin nlng the com
mission, bcenuso wo will certainly need
j our help If wo bring about what U de
sired but adjourn the session, say to tho
3d of December. AVo havo the greatest
conlldcnco that much will come out of It.
Bv Judge Oiey: I have heiird and 1
am suro tho commission have hcurd, with
satisfaction what jolt sav with regnid to
the suggestion vou mado jesterday nt
tho closo of tho morning session. Of
course, It is our duty to hear and deter
mlno tho matters In controversy. Tho
suggestion mode jesterday was mado In
dependent of tho idea of making nn
agieement with regard to other matters
than the schedules of wages, and wab
witli refcrenco to our hearing, and was
not with refcrenco to anything olso that
wo consider the matter ot an adjourn
ment. 11 seems to us that wo have como to n
crisis as to tho Introduction of testimony
which wo desire to hear. AVo aro willing
that both sides should confer together
nnd piodtico beforo us, as fnr ns they
can, facts that they agree to and also
agree upon a statement. That li the
situation now, and that Is tho reason
that tho commission think It would be
wlso to adopt tho suggestion to adjourn
from now until a time to be determined
upon. AA'e havo no Miggestlon at all, ex
cept the suggestion by j-ou, to adjourn
to the 3d of December. That will take us
over the Thanksgiving holldnjs at any
late. So we think the proposition of ad
journment to the 3d ot December would
be acceptable to us unless there Is some
objection to It. It will bo so ordered
when we adjoin n.
A"o will adjourn until that time for the
purpose of allowing the parties to pie
paro the figures with regard to wages.
At this Junctuie Attorney II. C. Rey
nolds, or counsel for the Independent
operators, presented the following:
Far Greater Consequence.
Tlo the Honorable, the Antlnaclte Com
mission. If tho commission please, wo ate not a
pattj' to nor weio we consulted In tho
submission as agreed upon between the
picsldents ot the large companies and the
representatives of the United h "ifl AA'ork
ers of Amcilca.
Aftei the commission hid been legu
laily nppolnted by the piesldent wo weie
Invited bv tho lccoider ot this commission
to become a paity to Its dollbeiatlons,
with tho undei standing that the ngiec
ments weie to be binding upon Its find
ings. Tho independent opctatots signified
thei i willingness to become a pally to
nnd to submit to tho commission our con
tentions. As far as the Individual opeia
tors are concerned nothing has developed
in this pielimln.uy hearing that tends to
change out minds as to tho position wo
took on the Hist of last May.
Indeed, ftom the Independent opeiatois'
point of view, theio Is something moio
vital that concerns not onlv tho opeia
tois, but evtty Ameilcan citizen living
In tho autluacltc coal Holds of a far great
er cotisequenco than the mete advancing
ot wages oi the lecognltion of any labor
oiganlzatlon.
AVo believe tho lights ot Ameilcan citi
zens havo been assailed, tenoii.sm, intim
idation and, indeed, anarchy has prevailed
throughout tho antlnaclte legion, nnd it
Is the puiposo of the opeiatois to at least
havo an expiesslon of the American peo
ple thiough this honoiable commission,
appointed by its president, thcicby plac
ing their seal ol dlsappioval upon tutiiio
acts, so that anj'ono dilmlng to bo a
citizen and under tho protection of tho
American government would hesltnto be
foio he would assail tho lights of another
individual Ameilcan.
As to the Incienso of wages, tho Inde
pendent opeiators believe, ami, ns staled
In their answer to tho demands of tho
lepiesentatives ot their emploj-cs, that
the wages p ild to the mlno woikers nt
their collleiles ate equal to and, in many,
instances, oxceea tno pi ice paw lor
skilled laboi in the vicinity whcieln theli
collleiles ate located, and. under tho com
petitive conditions of operations, tho In
dependent opot.itoi is not In a position to
concede nn ndvanco of wages; so, there
fore, they desire, after a icasonablc ad
journment of jour commission, for the
puiposo ot obtaining tho nccessaiy statis
tics, an oppoi Utility of presenting facts
and llgmes to tho commission, which flg-
nies will show tho genetal avoiago ot
earnings of tho mlnei wot king tor tho In
dependent opeiatois Is over i'OO a jear
and, In many Instances, from $1,000 to
ll.'JOO per yeai; so, that when wo receive
tho decision ot jour lionoinbio noaj- it
will mean something moio than tcmpoi-
ttlj peace.

At the conclusion of the tending At

great amount ot tlmo to bo consulted be
tween lust night and 10 o'clock this morn
ing. By Mr. Bums A good deal can be done
In tliut time. AVo do not want It under
stood Hint by sitting heio ond koepltiB
still that wo agree to everything dono
without being consulted.
By Judge Grey: AVo do not -assume
that the Individual operatois havo agreed
to nnvthhiL'-.
Bv Mr. limns: I suppose they nip par
ties to this hearing nnd havo somo rights
to bo consulted,
By Judgo Orcy: AA'e havo consulted
with no one. Theio hns been no consul
tation except what jou havo heard In
open commission.
By Mr. Burns: AVo havo no objection
whatever to on adjoin anient and nn en
deavor to conciliate, but we would not
want It understood that Air. Dnrrow and
somebody elso can get together nnd set
tle tho wholo thing without letting us
know iinythlng about It.
By Judgo Giey: You will havo nmplo
oppoi (unity, us far as we nio concerned.
Bj- Mr. Burns: It booms to us there
nro other peoplo who ought to bo con
sulted outsldo of tho people who uro
hero represented tho public, who havo
to pay all tho expenses In tho end. If
theio Is nny Increase In wages or anj
thtng of that kind, it Is to test upon tho
bowed shoulder of tho consumer. Whllo
tho consumer Is not nctuallj ropicscntod
here, jet ho no doubt has tho utmost
confidence, ns wo all have, In tho integ
rity of tills commission, and the impar
tial judgment when it shall bo exorcised,
of tho commission. For our own part wo
would Ilko to havo the thing fought out,
Instead of an ariangemont between tho
parties Immediately Interested. I nm in
formed there was none of the individual
operators notified.
Hj" Judge Grey: Let mo say again for
fear jou misunderstood. The commlslon
havo notified no parties and havo spoken
only as vou havo heard them speak In
this court room. AVo arc not here to no
tify parties. AVo mo only here and our
judgment Is that wo can perform our
ofllco no bettet than to foiwnrd. If we
can, nn effort In the direction indicated.
Bv Mr. Bums: Do not misunderstand
me to say that I am saying anv thing for
a moment ngainst tho commission. I
am upholding the commission 1 say wo
desire to have tho judgment ot tho com
mission rather than tho private agiee
ment of some of tho parties who may
bo Intel ested here. It Is the judgment
of tho commission wo want, unbiased by
nnj'bodj-.
Will Withhold Judgment.
Bv Judge Grcv: AVo do not propose to
form a judgment upon a pending agree
ment. Bv Mr. Burns: I think the commission
misunderstood me. I am sajing we want
the judgment of tho commission, and wo
want a full healing and want a judg
ment that tho people ot tho whole coun
ttv will have conUdenco In. and which
will tend to make things peimanent heie,
tather than a temporarv ariangcment its
every othet ntrangement heretofore has
been. Wo think that tho judgment of
the rommlbston will be something that
will last for j ears, while a tempoiaiy in
luiiMUient between the opeiatois and tho
mlneis for their own individual benefit
will bo something that thej may qiuurol
over next jp.tr.
By Judgo Gipv : A"ou me characteris
ing matters that havo not como into ex
istence and wo do not pioposo nnvllilng
that is in the lutilio AVo have only in
dicated our desiro and wish a lodgment
ns to tho pioprlcty ot an offoit in that
ditection and would bo vciy glad If thej
succeed.
By Mr. Burns: 1 undetstood from what
the commission indicated jestetdnv that
tltev would be glad to have tho parties
agree upon everything that thev could
agree on and leavo as littlo as possiblo
for the commission and perhaps not anj
thlng at all.
By Judge Grev: We said nothing about
leaving as littlo ns possible. Thcio Is
no disposition on tho pirt of tho com
mission to fotwaid this or any other
ptopoitlon in order to- lellovo them
selves. But looking at it as a matter of
high and Important dutv imposed upon
us bv the public, the commission iiuthoi
Ized mo to say that thev would he grati
fied that an effort of tho kind Indicated
vobtcrdav was to bo mado, holding them
selves ready to nsslst bv any method of
conciliation In their power.
By Mt. Butrs: That is vety true ot

By Mr. Lenahan: In view of the dovol

By Judgo Giey (addressing Mr. Bar

testimony to offer at this time?
By Mr. Datrovv:. No, your honor. AVo
feel that wo havo not nny specific tes
timony, such as this commission ought to
hem. To offer gcnciat testimony would
only consumo time, nnd wo fool that It
would bo wlso not to offer any testimony
this mot nlng, Mv statement may not
havo boon mndo as fully, or ns forclhlv
ns It should havo boon on our side. AVo
havo no desire, nnd would not consider It
wise, to tnko the matter out of tho hands
of this commission, AVo havo no power
to do it, and havo no dcslio to do It, and
could not accomplish niiythlng without
tho nsslotnnco ot tho commission. AVo
havo had no conference, nnd wo certainly
do not wish to Ignore nnybody who Is In
terested here, nnd nothing would bo ac
complished without consulting ovoij'ono
who Is heie. As far as tho mlno workers
ato concerned, they want a full toport
fiom tho commission.
By Judgo Giej: Beforo adjournment I
lepent that the commission havo taken no
action other than has been taken in this
cottlt loom. Thoy would bo glad to fot
waid nny cffoit of conciliation between
tho parties to this conttovcrsj. That thoy
repeat. It does not at all follow ftom
snjlng that they nro inleifeilng with any
of tho lights of any of the parties, orig
inal or intervening parties, appealing be
foro this commission and presenting such
phases of tho enso as thoy In their judg
ment think important. And, speaking as
wo thlnlc wo havo light to speak most
cettainlv with as much light and author
ity ns either side of this contiovetsj' to
speak for tho great public who aio watch
ing with much Intel est, and wo Dellovo
that thej will approve of what wo havo
said wo havo as jet dono nothing about
tho matter that wo havo spoken about
this morning. Now, in adopting tho sug
gestion mado by counsel 1 understand
that theio Is no objection on either sldo
of tho pioposltlon mndo for nn adjourn
ment for tho purpose stated, that purpose
being that the parties on both sides may
arinngo In any convenient fotm tho facts
and figuies for tho commission. If there
Is no objection tho commission will an
nounce its decision with regard to It.
Adjournment Decreed.
Taking tho absence of objection to be
consent to that pioposltlon, the commis
sion will act upon it, and adjourn for the
purposes indicated until tho third day of
December, nt 10 o'clock in tho mottling, in
this coutt loom. And, in older that wo
ma j not by our absence entirely Inloi
fcio with tho wot It that Is pioposed to bo
