fourteen stitches to close.
Ten years ugo he was caught under
a fall of rock and so badly ciuehed that
he was In a hospital two yeais. When

set Ibed a puiso of $167 to help support
him until he could discard his crutches

not to tuin him out, as his wite was 111

Coll pleaded with him to give him

The commissioners up to this point
because of Mr. narrow's skillful man

Oenoial Counsel David Wilcox, of
the Dotawnie and Hudson company,
nnd General Counsel J. W. Browncll,
of the Erie company, were present yes
teiday, but took no hand In the pio
ceedlngs. Mr. Wolvoiton, who is the
only out-of-town company lawyer at
tending all the sessions, had nothing
whatever to say. Mr. Gowan, of the
Lehigh Valley company, the only other
out-of-town company counsel present,
contented himself with cross-examining
ono witness tiom a Lehigh Valley
colliery at Hazleton.
At the opening of the morning ses
sion Attorney H. C. Itejnolds made
announcement of the death of Dr.
Illce, one of the Independent operatois,
and Judge "Giay spoke the regrets of
the commission at the sad news.
The day up to 3 30 was consumed
with an examination of moie witnesses
regarding conditions at the Markle &
Co. collieries. In the last hour ten
witnesses were put on the stand to
testlfv legaidlng alleged discrimina
tion against union men bv the Deli
w.up and Hudson and Pennsylvania
companies.
The Hist witness was Nell McMon-
igle. Ills testimony was to the effect
that when working by the day for
Mai kle & Co. he would be given a
place wheie he could load sixteen or
eighteen cms a day, but when woiK
ing by contract, he could only get out
thiee or four cais a day. He also told
of having been seiiously hurt a num
ber of times and that he nevei saw a
mine inspector In the mine.
His Day's Pay.
V D. Gallaghei, a .Muikle & Co.
miner liom Jeddo, told that since the
close of the stilke he has been able
to earn only 60 or 70 cents a day. Be
foie the stilke ho and the other men
hi his vein, which Is vety thin and
"ditty," woiked as company miners,
leeeiving ii.27 a day besides free pow
der, oil and cotton. Since the strike
the company has done away with the
"day's pay" or company miner, and
compelled the men to tnke the places
under contiact or nothing at all. He
can cut only four cats of co.l with a
keg of powder and eight c.irji a week
Is his best product.
Judge Giav at this juncture asked
how' much a keg of powder was woith
Iii the open maiket.
Mi. Crawfoid leplled that It was
$1.".". Attorney John J. Shea, liom the
mineis' table said "The gentlemen
about ine heic say it can be bought
for 90 cents."
Judge Giay lemaiked that he could
see how it was a good thing to have
the powder pui chased and dlsttlbuted
by the company, ptovidiug the com
pany sold it at a fair pi Ice.
Andiew Hannick. a Jeddo laboier,
told of having been evicted and ie
fused re-employment by Maikle & Co.
He supposed it wns because he advised
his fellow Hungarians not to sign a
paper authoiizlng the company to stop
state bills out of their wages. He also
testified that he had woiked four jeuis
at Jeddo and never saw the mine in
spector. Mike Kobsh, a Hazleton laboier tes
tified he never saw a mine inspector in
the mine. In answer to a question by
Mr. Hcynolds, he admitted ho would
not know the inspoctoi It he saw him.
Weie Full Handed.

but while lie was on Mr. McCarthy de
cided to have him tell his stoiy. It was
simply to the effect that he was ic

ume ny tne ooss that "they weie full

elicited the fact thnl this collleiy .stau

It was necessary to cut twelve cars of

Mr. Gallagher also told of an agree

of loose coal lequhed for a ton, to
make good to the companies the impui
Itlos that would get Into the 10 cublu
feet, This, the witness had been told
by his father, was a piovlblon made to
