sped downward at a rapid rate, crossed
to the road on which the foreman was
going tip, and when nearlng the car
bounded upward and struck Mr. Dunk
erly, inflicting frightful gashes in the
face and crushing the nose of its victim.
One of the workers at the bottom
heard his cry of anguish and signalled
the engineer to stop the car, which was
done just in time, as when the senseless
form of the foreman was found his body
was ready to fall in front of the wheels.
Mr. Dunkerly was taken to his home
in Jeddo and is in a serious condition.

MINERS ARE RIGHT. |
So Say* Judge George Gray, Chairman of
the Strike Commission.
Judge George Gray, chairman of tin*
Anthracite Coal Strike Commission, was
seen in his home in Wilmington, Del.,
last night. lie gave to the North
American this statement in regard to
the dispute between the operators and
the mine workers:
"I do not for a moment intend to dis
cuss the situation without understanding
precisely all the facts pertaining to It.
I don't think that any member of the
commission imagined that any trouble
could arise as to the simple requirement
of the award In the matter of the con
stitution of the Board of Conciliation.
The language of the award in this res
pect is:
"If the whole region is divided into
three districts, in each of which there
shall exist an organization representing
a majority of mine workers of such dis
trict, one of said Board of Conciliation
shall be appointed by each of said
organizations.
"This certainly needs no interpreta
tion If there is an organization In
each of the three districts, such organiza
tion, acting through its properly con
stituted authorities, can appoint a mem
ber of the Board of Conciliation.
"For the provision of the award is
that the organization 'shall appoint.'
And it does not necessarily require
that all the members of the organization
shall elect.
"The essential condition is that the
organization shall represent a majority
of the mine workers in the district."
A number of operators and mine
superintendents have declared that if
District Presidents Nicholls, Fahy and
Dettrey are elected by a delegate con
vention, and these delegates represent a
majoriiy of the mine employes, which
they undoubtedly will, no further ob
jections will be made, and they will be
accepted as members of the conciliation
board.
The three district executive boards of
the Uuited Mine Workers met yesterday
at the various headquarters, Scranton,
Liazleton and Pottsvlille, and made ar
rangements for the coming convention
at Pottsville.
Conservative mine workers say that a
strike is a very remote possibility, and
impartial observers declare that a strug
gle over such a question is improbable.
