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.

FREELAND, PA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1902.
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.

and died from exposure.

Major General Miller issued an order
Wednesday night from his headquarters
