COMMISSIONERS ARE AT WORK Strike Arbiters Spend a Day in the Mines. Investigation of Conditions Is Now On in Earnest. Workers' Representatives Show Up Weigh Frauds. Hard work characterized the first day's session In the coal region of the Anthracite Coal Strike Commission. A walk of a mile and a half through No. 2 mine of the Hillside Coal Company at Forest City and a tiresome climb up many steps through the Coal Brook breaker of the Now York, Ontario and Western Company at Carbondale were incidents of tho commission's long work day. The miners' side scored heavily through the alertness of District Presi dent Nicholls when the commission in spected the Coal Brook breaker. Jus tice Gray made inquiry concerning the weighing of tho coal and particularly the weight of rough coal which the miner must send to the breaker In order that be might be credited with a ton. One of the mine superintendents an swered that the weight required Is 2,800 pounds. President Niehols quickly cor rected this by saying that tho miners at that breaker produce 3,102 pounds for a ton. This statement was corroborated by General Superintendent J. R. Bry den, of the Ontario Company. A discussion ensued between Bryden and Nicholls, In which tho miners' rep resentative called attention to the fact that the miners are paid ou the basis of prepared coal, that prepared coal means all sizes larger than pea, and that pea coal and several sizes below are now listed and sold for fair prices in the general market Tho foundation of a fair education In the theory of mining was laid when the commission went 250 feet underground in the Hillside mine. Judge Gray, Bishop Spalding and the others donned overalls, jumpers and miners' caps, some of tho party carrying miners' lamps in their bands, whilo the others had them fastened to their caps for the underground journey. Some of the party was plainly nervous when tho car commenced its down ward rush. Tho feolings of apprehen sion disappeared after tho tour of the workings had proceeded for a time, and the membors of the commission piled their guides with questions. President Nicholls, National Organizer Henry Collins, Rev. Peter Roberts and James Markwlck, statistician, who rep resented tho miners, expressed them selves as well pleased by tho thorough ness of the commission. Just before the commission went Into the mine a fall of top coal killed An thony Morwicz, a mine laborer, working in the Clifford mine, which connects with Hillside No. 2. The members of the commission were not told of the accident uutil they roach ed the surface. While the party was being carried to a distant part of the mine oh a motor train, one of the car 9 In which were seated Commissioners Gray, Parker, Wilson and Clarke left the track. A severe jolting was the only effect. General Wilson slipped and fell into a chute at the coal breaker. He escaped without Injury. The Manville mine, which is operated on alternate months by the Delaware and Hudson and the Delaware,. Lacka wanna and Western companies, was visited this morning. One or two mines in the Wyoming valley will bo inspected tomorrow. The commission will probably adjourn on Saturday evening until Wednesday in order that the members may vote at next Tuesday's elections. The Uazle ton and Schuylkill regions will probably be visited mext week. {lon Coffee! 16 ounces of pure I 1 offee to the pound. / 1 Wonted Coffees are I I >nly about 14 ounces J 1 >f coffee and two / 1 ounces of eggs, / 1 glue, etc., of no 1 I value to you, but LJ~~J money in thepocket of the roaster.

STRIKE NOTES Core Bros. & Co. yesterday posted at Driftou two notices. One reads as fol lows: "Warning.—Any man who by intimidation (moral persuasion) attempts to induce a co-employe to leave or join a socloty, or anybody who objects to work with any other employe because ho has, or does not belong to a society, will be discharged. Edgar Kudllck, Mining Engineer." The other notice, headed "Scope of the Board of Arbitra tion In Connection With the Strike of 1902," is a copy of the last paragraph of the coal-road presidents' arbiiration proposal. Iu this tho word "own" has been Inserted after "their," making the sentence read "their own employes," which in its original shape read "their employes." The company's object In posting this extract from the arbitration proposal is not known. The changing of the wording Is causing much specula tion and is taken by many as Indirect notice to the employes of Coxe Bros. Jc Co. |that the commission's findings will be binding only upon the coal-road presidents and their own employes. The strike at the Drlfton, Eckley, Stockton, Beaver Meadow, Oneida and Derringer collieries of Coxe Bro9. & Co., the Highland, Jeddo, Oakdale and Eber vale collieries of G. B. Markle & Co. and the Sliver Brook collieries of J. S. Wentz & Co., at all of which there has been trouble since the men were ordered back to work, was officially renewed yester day through an order Issued by the dis trict officers of tho U. M. W. of A., upon instructions from President Mitchell. The order to cease work Includes the firomen, engineers and pump runners. For reasons which the district officers refuse to make known the strike at Pareee & Co.'s Cranberry and Crystal Ridge collieries has not been included in the official order. The renewal of the strike at the local collieries has had a discouraging effect upon business In Freeland. The uuanl mous verdict, however, Is that the opera tors are wholly to blame, and against the latter are directed many expressions of disapproval for the ridiculous position they have assumed. This much can be said, if It is any consolation to Freeland people, the local struggle will soon end or It will become general. Unless the Markles and Coxes agree to resume upon the conditions covered by tho arbitra tion proposal the whole power of the union will bo brought into play to over come their obstinacy. Notices to vacate their homes were served yesterday by Coxe Bros. & Co. upon Patrick McGeehan and Patrick McCole, two life-long residents of Drif ton. Both men are known as quiet and inoffensive citizens whose characters are above suspicion. The discrimina tion dally practised by Coxe Bros. &. Co. Is shameful and a disgrace to the mem ory of tho corporation's founder. Strenous efforts are being made today to secure promises from some of Markle's steam employes that they will return to work on Monday. The report i 9 being Industriously circulated that a number have agreed to resume. School Directors Meet. The thirteenth annual meeting of tho Luzerne County School Directors' As sociation was held at Wilkesbarre on Wednesday. President E. J. Moore, Esq., of Warrior Run, delivered the opening address and brought before the members a number of topics for discus sion. He was followed by William Brewster, Esq , secretary of Kingston board, in an address on "How Directors Can Improve the Teaching Profession." Dr. Henry Houck, of Harrisburg, deputy state superintendent of public instruction, delivered an ontertaining address, and after him came Dr. Alex ander Faulds. of Philadelphia, whose subject was "The Director's Oppor tunity." The election of officers for the ensuing year was as follows: President, Charles I). Evaus, Duryea; secretary, William Brewster, Kingston. The following were elected as dole gates to the convention of the Depart ment of School Directors of Pennsyl vania Educational Association: Dr. W. P. Weida, Luzerne; Dr. I. M. Marstellar, White Haven; Dr. W. A. Pier, Duryea; E. J. Moore, Esq., Warrior Run, and E. C. Barrett, Newport township. Will Probated. The will of the late Mr 9. Christina Stark, of Freeland, was probated yes terday by Deputy Register Kuntz. To her daughter, Alvina Peterson (now Jefferson), she leaves the sum of $1; to her son, William U. Stark, the sum of $5; and tho residue of the estate is left to her son, Henry C. Stark, who is named as executor. Tho estate is valued at 82,000. It consists of a double block and lot on Birkbeck street. The will is witnessed by T. A. and D. S. Buckley and Is dated March 13, 1903. POLITICAL The contest for tho legislature in this district is between James G. Harvey and B. J. Ferry, notwithstanding claims to the contrary that the Socialist party's nominee has a cbanco to win. Mr. Harvey is a straight Republican and stands for all that the name of tho party implies in this state. He makes no pretense to bo anything else and de serves credit for his honesty in ac knowledging the majesty of Quay and the superiority of machine rule. Ferry comes from tho people, being a genuine miner, and stands upon a platform which pledges him to work and vote for the interests of the people, especially the laboring classes. Next Tuesday will tell whether or not the wage earners of the Fourth district know a friend when they see him on their ballot. Charles N. Brumtn, who represented tho Schuylkill district In congress for sixteen years as a Republican, signaliz ed his departure from the party by ad dressing a large meeting at Tower City, held under the auspices of the Union party. Brumn advocated the election of Pattlson for governor, also the Democ ratic-Unionist legislative candidates, and pleaded for the defeat of Congress man Patterson, the Republican nominee. P. M. Boyle, of Kingston, one of tho candidates for inspector of mines under the new law which provides for tho election of these officials by the voters, spent tho greater part of his lifo In Drifton and his friends in this section propose to give him a vote deserving of the man. The office Is non-p >lStical and the applicants are voted separately from the candidates for other offices. James VV. Holman, who is the only candidate from the Fourth district on either the Democratic or Republican county ticket, is said to be assured of an extraordinarily large vote in this end of the county. Ho has been nomi nated for register of wills by tho Demo crats and will ably fill tbo office if elected. Ex-Governor Robert E. Pattlson and a number of other Democratic speakers will visit Wilkesbarre tomorrow even ing and addroß9 a mass meeting to bo held in the Ninth regiment armory. ROUND THE REGION Tho members of Conyngham Post, G. A. R., burned the mortgage on Memorial Hall, Wilkesbarre, before a large crowd on Wednesday night. The debt was a great burden on the old soldiers until recently, when it was decided the build ing could be designated a monument to old soldiers, and by au act of legislature the county commissioners were empow ered to pay off all debts on tho monu ment erected for the soldiers and sailors. At Lattiuier on Wednesday tho first fatal mine accident in this district since May 12, when tho miners' strike began, occurred. Allen Watson, CO years old, a pump runner employed in the stripping basin, was struck and instantly killed by a runaway car that became detached from the cable after being hoisted up the plane. Tho dead body of Charles Iluskosh, an Oneida Slavonian, was found yesterday at the side of the road near that town. The man marched in tho parade at Haz loton on Wednesday and with a com panion started home in the evening. Becoming tired, he sat down, fell asleep and died from exposure. Ice cream—all flavors—at Merkt's. Many Troops Recalled. Major General Miller issued an order Wednesday night from his headquarters at Pottsville, recalling thirty-one more companies of the state troops, which leaves but six regiments and four troops of cavalry of tho state division still In service in tho anthracite fields. The latest order recalls tho B'ourth Infantry, the Tenth infantry, five companies of the Eighth Infantry, the remaining batta lion of the Second regiment at St. Clair and the remaining battalion of the Third regiment at Mlnersvllle. The Ninth regiment, which has been statioued near Wilkesbarre, broke camp today. Company G, of Hazleton, which contains several Freeland young men, will arrive home this evening. In addition there is an order relieving the Second troop of Philadelphia City Cavalry from duty at Wilkesbarre under General Gobin, of the Third Brigade, and ordering them to duty at Audonried, under General Schall, of the First bri gade.
