PROPOSE TO AGREE
ON A CASE-STATED
(Continued
he Btcani men did not conduct a sop
urntc strike
"Then wo lire to understand," snld
Chnlrman amy, "that the steam men
hntl no sepnrnto m-Rniilzntlon nnd were
ordered to come out by the United Mine
Workers unless they got nn eight hour
dny?"
Silence npocnlcd lo this being a fnlr
settlement of the situation,
Major Warren spoke briefly lo Im
press on tho commission the slgnlll
ennce of his point that two years iiro
the steam men pot ti ralee In wages
without Joining In the strike, and that
it follows they would have shared In
whatever victory tho miners won with
out sharing In the strike.
, Tho cross-examination of Mr. Mnr-
. nick was then resumed. Major War
ren elicited from him tho foot that lie
went to 'Buffalo n few days after null
ting his post at the Sloan, scoured a
Job at $2.'.'5 for ten hours and worked
at It for flvo months, yet when tho
strike was declared off he hastened
back to Scranton and applied for hits
$78 a month, twelvc-hourH-n-day Job,
On re-dlrcct examination by Mr. Har
row, the witness said bo came back
from Buffalo because his home and
family arc hero.
William Major, chief of police of
Mooslc, who was refused re-etnplny-mont
at the Law shaft of the Erie com
pany at Avoca, testified that Superin
tendent Henry McMillan told him ho
was refused his job because he "called
scabs at people," which, tho witness
maintained, was a false accusation.
Joseph O'Brien, representing tho non
union men, asked a few aucstlons as
to Mr. Major's whereabouts at various
times, with a view of laying grounds
for future contradiction.
'TWOULD JTUNNY.
Major Warren asked the witness If it
was not true that he had threatened
harm to one Thomas J. Brown, who
was working at an Erie washery in
Plttston. Chief Major admitted having
encountered Brown bound for work, but
denied hnvlng threatened him or any
other , man. "It would be funny,
wouldn't It," said the witness with
some show of offended dignity, "to see
u police officer of Mooslc borough
threatening people?"
The major declined to commit him
self in nn opinion as to whether or not
tills would be funny.
Tony Lorri. n. 22-year-old employe of
("oxe Bros. & Co. at Drlfton, told that
he was refused reinstatement and that
he had not done anything which would
justify the company in not taking him
bank.
"You acted as interpreter among the
Italians for the union, a great deal,
didn't you, Tony?" Attorney McCarthy
asked.
"Yes. sir."
"That's the only reason, as far as
you know, why you didn't get your job
back, is it?"
y The "ciuostlon" was about the limit
thus far in the way of latitude in ex
amining a witness and provoked loud
laughter among tho attorneys. Judge
Griiy was facing Mr. McCarthy, appar
ently bent on gently reminding him
that there was a limit, but Mr. Mc
Carthy Indicated by gestures and nods
that the judge needn't admonish him,
and the two joined in tho general
laughter.
Ilev. Dr. .Tumes Moore, of Avoca, who,
it will be remembered, addressed n.
number of miners' mass meetings dur
ing the strike, was the next witness
put on the stand. He Is pastor of the
Trlmltlve Methodist church at Avoca,
and has spent most of his twenty-one
years in the ministry in Avoea, Ply
mouth, Shenandoah and other mining
towns. All the adult male members of
his present flock are miners, with the
exception of one, who is a mine black
smith. All of them were strikers, ex
cept a superintendent, a fireboss and a
driver boss.
His congregation, lie told, numbers
"00. There are twenty-five household
ers in the number. He believed most of
those homes were mortgaged. The
miners are, he said, nice, law-abiding
people. "They cannot be surpassed,"
he declared.
EXAMINED DUE BILLS.
lie examined thirty-nine due bills of
three miners. They were for the years
18!S and ISflD. Averaging them lie found
that for 419 ten-hour days the pay was
?iS7.13. They were the due bills, he
understood, of contract miners.
This was insufficient, lie thought, for
tho support of a family. He knew of
boys of miners' families being sent to
the breaker when they were barely able
to carry a dinner pail. Daughters ot
the family went into the mills nnd fac
tories at a very early age.
Miners', he asserted, do not drink
more than the average workman. Dur
ing tho five and one-half months of the
strike, in Avoca, a town of l.&OO In
habitants, ho saw only one drunken
man, Special efforts wore made by
clergymen, mine workers' leaders and
other men of Influence to promote
sobriety during tho strike. The witness
declared he never lived In a more
peaceable community than Avoca was
during the strike,
Under cross-exnmlnntlon by Mr. Tor
rey, Dr. Moore admitted ho saw four
effigies suspended hi Avoca during tho
strike. He contended they were hung
by mischievous boys, and to Indicate
;lmt they were hung Indiscriminately
he told that ono of them was suspended
In front of his own house.
Attorney H. C. Reynolds next cross
examined Dr. Moore, Mr. Reynolds de
veloped the fact that the best paid
Primitive Methodist clergyman in tho
United States receives less than $1,200
salary per annum, and that the aver
ago salary of the clergymen of this do.
nomination in the locul field Is $000.
Dr. Moore said his salary Is about $700
n year.
Since tho strike, the witness has seen
about half a dozen drunks. He suw
them on or Immediately after pay day,
"Tho miner, you know," said the wit
ness with evident anxiety to qualify
his admission, "is not addicted to drink
ynd Just a little will upset him."

The reverend doctor nrovoked many
a laugh while on (lie stand.
QUESTION OP WAGES.
Mr. Heynotds look the witness back
lo the question of wages ond sought to
demonstrate that If a clergyman, who
has many expenses not necessary to a
miner's mode of living, such ns extra
quality of clothing, books, entertain
ment of guests and tho like, can live
on a salary of $700 a year, a miner
ought to bo able to live well Within his
station for JIS7.15.
Dr. Moore's comment on this was!
"Well, Mr. Reynolds, I would say to
that, If you please, that the ministers
are not receiving enough."
"Why don't you strike, doctor?"
chimed In the ready Mr. Torrey.
When tho laughter had subsided, Dr.
Moore rejoined thnt he would strike It
ho was not afraid some one would lake
his nlace.
The witness admitted he had made
no computations ns to the relative
earnings of miners and other workmen
In tho community, and that he went
about to tho mass meetings encourag
ing the miners In their demand for
higher wages, with his faith in the Jun
tlce of this demand founded mainly on
his general observation that miners
were not receiving enough wages to live
with any degree of comfort.
In the crcs.s-rxamlnallon of the next
witness, Peter Ingoldsby, of Grassy
Island, one ot the big companies, the
Delaware and Hudson, put in the first
bit of the statistical evidence it has
been preparing for two months past to
show to the public, and incidentally the
commission, that the miner's recital ot
his ills are sometimes to be slightly
discounted.
Mr. Ingoldsby was a miner at the
Grassy Island colliery of the Delaware
and Hudson company for fifteen years.
He was active In tho union during tho
strike, and was not re-employed. He
was one of four men from this colliery
whom the union put on tho stand to
prove the- contention that men whope
only offense was zealous fidelity to
their union, are being discriminated
against to the extent of being refused
emnloyment.
Ills story, In substance, on direct ex
amination by Attorney James L. Jjona
hnn, was that he received Gil cents a
ton for sending out coal: that he aver
aged only two cars a shift; that the
laborer had to be paid 25 cents a ton
out of this, and that he worked usually
from G.30 In the morning until 5.30 In
the evening.
Mr. Ingoldsby was on the stand at
the noon recess. His examination was
resumed by Attorney James L. Lenn
han at the opening of the afternoon
session.
VERY WET MINE.
He testified that the Grassy Island is
a very wet mine and only once in his
experience was lie allowed anything for
balling water. Then he got two cents a
ton added to his car for this extra
work..
When the strike was over, the lire
boss told him he was not to go in until
he saw Foreman Lewis. The foreman
told him his "number was stopped,"
and he went home. Later he saw Gen
eral Superintendent Rose. Mr. Rose
seemed to know nothing about the case
and referred him back to Foreman
Lewis. The foreman gave him no sat
isfaction nnd no reason for refusing
him re-emnloyment.
The witness admitted he took a
prominent part In the strike and suc
ceeded by moral persuasion In inducing
three men to quit work, one of whom
was a sou and another a nephew of
Foreman Lewis.
On cross-examination. Mr. Torrey ad
duced admissions from tho witness that
In addition to what he earned for cut
ting coal he got allowances for yard
age and the like. That lie must have
been receiving some allowances was
made anparent a moment later when
Mr. Torrey presented the following
summary of Mr. Ingoldsby's earnings
during the year 1901:
January, $113.43: February, $S7.07;
March, $100.46; April, $32.00; May, $93.
07; June, $103; July, $94.r0: August, $90.
57; September. $93.71; October, $7S.0S;
November, $77.01: December, J6S.3S;
total. R1.03G.B4.
This, Mr. Torrey explained, represent
ed the miner's gross earnings after all
charges for powder, oil, etc., were de
ducted. Out of this he had to pay his
laborer. Tho miner, according to the
estimates made by the company, re
ceiver, 38 per cent, and the laborer 42
per cent, of the not earnings. This
would give Mr. Ingoldsby a not earning
In 1001 ot $030.
Judge Gray, addressing the miners'
representatives, asked if tills proportion
of the division or earnings was ad
mitted to be correct. Mr.' Darrow re
sponded that his side estimated the
proportion- at CO per cent, for the miner
and 40 per cent, for the laborer.
THOUGHT IT TOO HIGH.
The witness was asked If Mr. Tor
rey's statement of his earnings was
correct. Ho said ho didn't know, but
believed It was too high. Mr. Torrey
.said the company would prove It wus
absolutely correct.
Turning attention to the claim or the
witness that he was being kept out of
employment because of his connection
with tho union, "Mr. Torrey had the
witness admit that ho was arrested and
Is sllll under ball -for throwing stones
at the soldiers In Olyphnnt. The wit
ness denied that he distributed lists ot
non-union workmen to Olyphant mer
chants with a demand that they refuso
to sell them provisions, under penalty
of being boycotted.
Before dismissing Die witness, Mr.
Torrey secured from him an admission
that ho often finished his day's work
before noon, and that he knew of tho
fact that inlno workers at tho Grassy
island are now refuslm; in unrK- in
curtain heading because William Hill,
who nod it oeioro the strike, has not
been re-employed, The witness denied
ho told tho young son of John Smnkola
that his father would be killed like
Winston If lie worked In the Hill head-
illfr. The excuse District Riinevlntami-
ent Benentt gave tho witness for not
re-employlng him, ho admitted, was be
cause the company had too many men.
Robert Jones, who wns a hoisting en
glneer at the Lackawanna colliery of
the Temple Iron company, said, in an
swer to questions by Attorney John
Sheatliat he was refused re-employ,
ment at the close of the strike, al
though he had applied four times.
Major Warren dismissed him after
eliciting (he fact that he left his posi
tion voluntarily, and that the company
Immediately put another man in ids
place.
HAD TOO MANY MEN.
James Reap, u Delaware and Hudson
miner from Olyphant, told that he was

refused re-employment and that Dis
trict Superintendent Bennett would only
say to him that the company had too
many men. He was n member of the
union relief committee. Mr. Torrey had
no questions to ask him on cross-examination.
Thomas Powell, a Dela
ware and Hudson miner at Olyphant
No. 2, had a similar story tn tell. Mr.
Torrey contented himself with extract
ing from the witness tho Information
that the chamber Mr. Powell had been
working was cut off by a fall of roof
during the strike, and that there was
only enough coal left in the place, at
nil events, to give lilm a few weeks'
work. The witness Insisted that It
would pay the company to open up the
chamber.
S. W. Jane, president of tho drossy
Island local, was not re-employed after
the strike, being told by District Super
intendent Bennett tho company hud too
many men. Ho went to see General
Superintendent Rose, and Mr. Bose re
ferred him back to Mr. Bennett. Mr.
Jane and three others of the union men,
who were refused re-employment, wait
ed on District Superintendent Bennett
and complained to him that his grounds
for refusing to take them buck were
unstable, because new men were being
employed. Mr. Bennett asked him to
namo a single new man who had been
taken on, Tho witness gave him tho
namo of John Watklns. Mr. Bennett
took a note of the name and said he
would look Into the matter.
On cross-examination Mr. Torrey
brought out an admission from the wit
ness thut AVntklns went to work dur
ing the strike.
BLIND AND CRIPPLED.
John Price and David J. Davis, two
blind and badly crippled men, who had
received their disabilities as the result
of premature explosions In West Scrun
ton mines of the Delaware, Lackawanna
nnd Western company, were brought
before the commission and examined
In turn us to how they came by their
Injuries, and what the company has
done for them. Mr, Price had both eyes
blinded, his loft arm blown off and his
right hand Im.dly crippled. The com
pany gave him $12.50 a month for ono
year after tho accident. Mr. Davis had
both eyes blown out, his left ear torn
orr. his right hand crippled and a big
hole cut In his breast by an explosion.
Tho company gave him $23 or $30 In
cash and freo cool for a year.
Tha only cross-examination was one
question put to tho last witness by Mr,
Burns. "Did you have uny connection
with the 1002 strike?" ho asked. The
witness said no.
Then Mr, Burns criticised the action
of the other side In bringing In "har
rowing spectacles" to prey on the sym
pathies of the commission.
Judge Uray would not coincide with
Mr, Burnti' view. Ho expressed tho
opinion that hucIi evidence, while not
pleasant to receive, was perfectly
proper. He hoped, however, it would
not lie-carried to an extreme.
Mr. Darrow assured the commission
ers he would not overdo the thing. At
torney Reynolds asked how It would
look If tho companies brought in tho
widow and children of James AVInston,
the victim ot tho horrible murder at
Grassy Island.
The last witness of the day wus Bev.
John J, Curran, pastor of Holy Savior
noman Catholic church, of Wllkes
Barre. Ho worked In the mines for
seven years and has spent his whole life
among miners. Among the Interesting
things lie told was that there aro 20,

region,

In proof of this statement he exhibited
an Illustration In John Wannumakcr's
Everybody's Mnguzlm., showing an al
leged photograph of a riot scene, it
represented a non-union man being
overpowered and mobbed by strikers.
The non-union victim was identilied bv
Fa tlier Curran as one of his parish
ioners, William McGrourty. who wa
one of the most ardent union men In
Wilkes-Burre. The "scene" was Rulti
more lone, two blocks from the witness
residence. No such affair ever occur
red, Father Curran, asserted. The
characters in the scene had boon hired
by a magazine photographer to pose In
a mob-attack attitude for a dollar
head. They thought it was fun.
Judge Gray asked the witness what
he thought of tho boycott as a weapon
In a strike. He answered that it could
be carried to dangerous extremes. The
Judge told of an incident in the last
trolly strike here where four girls were
discharged from a store because tho
union had detected them riding on a
car and demanded that they bo dls
charged. Father Curran said that this
was wrong.
"There is an under current of public
feeling now in motion," Mild Father
Curran, "which will settle this sort of
thing."
"I agree with you," quickly retorted
Judge Gray. "It must or the country
will go to pieces."
