SOCIALISTIC DOCTRINE
Counsel for Coal Company Says Laaders Ii
vote on Men-Side of the Nos
Uskialsls Presented-
Philadelphia, Feb. 11. The united
mlue workers of America as an or
ganizatiou was severely scored today
by cuuese! before the anthracite coal
commission. Tbe non-union men
through their .attorney, John T
LenahaD. presented their side of tbe
controversy and demanded consider
ate at the hands of the commission,
claiming the legal tight to earn a
livelihood as they ii:Uht select with
out the consent or dictation of tho
union.
During the presentation of the case
Mr. Leuahan denounced the union
as a ft mooter of crime and anarchy.
The main feature of this argument
was the claim that the union had nr
l-.'gal or moral ilylit to coerce minus
into membership or toaingale to
Itsc'.f the authority to flx the wages
of mine workers.
James H. Torry. counsel for the
Delaware & Hudson company, claimed
that the questlnn of n cognition ot
the union was nut an issue oefore the
commission, but he devoted consid
erable time to the consideration of
that demand. He asserted that vb
ience and intimidation were agencies
s leeted lor the promotion of the pu
p iges of the tnirie work-'ts.. Regard
ing the demand fur an eight hour
wmking duy Mr. Torrey said the ev
idence -howcd that for various rea
sons tho breakers did not average
inure th m eight hours a dav, so that
I he physical elleds ol lung hours were
not. felt.
Major Everett Warren, counsel for
the Hillside Coal and Iron company
and th ; I'cuns) Iv una Coal company,
answered the demands of the miners
Id detail and declared the socialistic
theories of the unin. or some i f its
leaders to be responsible for unreas 1
able claims. He said among other
thini's:
"The real parties to this submission
are the employes of tho several com
panies on the one side, or certain of
them, and their employers on the
other. They who ate seeking to be
come parties and Intruding them
selves upon the commission, absolute
ly without warrant by the tcims
thereof, are the united mine woikerr
of A ineiica. "
Major Warren asserted that the
companies had proven accidents lor
the most patt to be the. results of
the nilnets' carelessness and that
the occupation of a miner is com
paratively healthy. In closing be
said:
"Throughout the discussion as to
tbe rates of wages no matter how It
may be preseeulcd, it is absolutely
necessary tc bear in mind that the
annual earnings of the mine workers
are limited by the men themselves.
I am perfectly willing thatyu should
take Into C'.usideratl "i all tlie evi
dences ffered on the oth 'r side as to
the efforts made to iqualize the dis-
tniHillou of cais, anu after i.ll ihls
it remai js cbaily (stahllshcd he I ore
you that, since the advent of the
union, I lie la'niug capacity of tbe
contract mil. cm has been liniile, and
Inst" id of the unlou being an ad ven
ture to him It has worked to his ad
disadvantage In restricting bis earn
ing capacity.
"I do not charge this upon the
great bod of the mine workers them
selves They do not understand why
It Is done. Ther ate not familiar
with the socialist Ic theories of some
of the lea'lers of the organization.
Whatever may be the ai tive n liio
part of the union, tbe evidence Is
overwhelming that the tesiilt, is a re
striction on the put of trie Indus
trious miner, limiting the amount of
woik, and the consequent wages,
shrivelling his powers and reducing
him to the dead level el bis lazy and
Indifferent associate. 'Ibis cannot
be bloi led out from the record. It
apears 'n the lest Imony of evetv coin
