Strike Commission Inspects In side and Outside Workings. BISHOP ASKS MANY QUESTIONS. . Commissioners Spend Busy Day Far Down In the Earth Fourth and Fifth Regiments Break Camp and Return to Their Homes. Qcranton , Pa. , Oct. 31. The seven commissioners appointed by President Roosevelt to adjust the differences ex isting between the anthracite mine workers and their employers , made a lour of the extreme upper coal field , and saw every step taken in the pro duction of coal from the tlmo it is "blasted from the ground , hundreds of feet below the surface , up to the point whore it is sent to market ready for the use of the consumer. The arbitrators had an Interesting flay and returned to their hotel grimy from coal dust and tired after eight busy hours of observation and investi gation. The trip was qulto n novelty to most of those in the commissioners' party , BODIO of whqm never havinc been in the hard coal regions. The commissioners displayed the greatest Interest in every feature of coal min ing ami went about their work in a manner that was pleasing to both the mining superintendents and the rep- rescntatlves of the mine workers who accompanied the president's commis sioners. The seven arbitrators had to endnro many discomforts , making their way through wet places in the mines , almost crawling along some of the gangways in the workings and passing through clouds of coal dust In the breakers. Notwithstanding this , their eagerness for information was not diminished and they expect to put in another hard day's work in this vicinity. It would bo unfair to say that one commissioner displayed more interest than another , but It can bo truly said that Bishop Spaldlng asked more questions than any ono of the others. Ho was usually In the center of a group of commissioners and asked many questions of these who are em ployed In and about the mines. All the commissioners were good listeners but poor talkers when it came down to getting an expression from them on any feature of the mining business. From their actions it is certain that they have agreed not to-say what they think of the questions that will come before them , The arbitrators had an Interesting tlmo at the Colobrook breaker at Car- bomlalo. They were much Interested in the men and boys who are employed in picking slate and "bonoy" from the coal. It Is hero where ono of the principal bones of contention between the employes and employer Is found. The miners maintain they are often unjustly decked by the docking bosses for the amount of alato , bonoy or other refuse found in the coal. The com missioners watched the work of the boas closely and saw him dock several minors , because , in his Judgment , there was too much forolgn matter in the car of coal. A fovr foot away is the plaoo where the cars of coal are weighed. After the seyon arbitrators had watehod the weighing of coal for a while , Mr. Clark inquired how many pounds constituted a ton at this col- Hory. Superintendent Brydon thought it was about 2,800 pounds , but District President Nlcholls said it was a little ever 3,100 pounds. The two began to discuss this , each maintaining ho was right. Mr. Nlcholls said that granting that 2,800 was correct , these figures are too high. Ho said when the com panies fixed 2,800 pounds to constitute a ton so as to get out of It 2,000 pounds of pure coal , the operators did not eell pea coal In the market. Now they have a market for pea coal and about three other sizes below . ! $ . and the minor's ton of 2,800 pounds has not been decreased. Judge Gray was an interested listener to the discussion. Ho stood by with his hands deep In his overcoat pockets and never ut tered a word. It was qulto evident that both Mr. Nlcholls and Mr. Bry- den tried to make a good Impression with the commissioner , but what ho thought ho did not even express in his actions. Troops Return Home. Wllkosbarre , Pa. , Oat. 31. The Fourth and Eighth regiments , which have been stationed In the Wyoming valley for some tlmo past , broke camp yesterday and returned to their homes. The entire coal region is now peace ful. The only place where trouble is looked for Is In the Lehlgh region , where the Individual operators and the miners have failed to come to an agreement. Some of the troops maybe bo kept In that section until the min ers return to work. Yesterday was a busy day at the mines and the output of coal was heavy. Mollneux Casa to Proceed. New York , Oct. 31. Counsel for the defense In the Mollneux case moved that the court direct the jury to ac quit the defendant on the ground that tbo evidence was insufficient. Justice Lambert donlod the motion. Interests Worth $100,000,000 Said to Plan Merger. BIG PACKERS TO UNITE FIRST. After the Joining of Hands the Same Firms Will Consolidate Yards To tal Capitalization Will Run Close to $600,000,000. Chicago , Oct. 31. The Reoord-Her- ald says : Two big ooneoMdatlons are planned by beef Interest * . The pack ers will oombino first and then effect a merger of all the stock yards In the country. With the exception of the Chicago stock yards , which are con trolled In Boston , all the properties In volved are owned and controlled by the owners of the principal beef pack ing interests. The different yards that will probably bo Included In the deal asldo from the Chicago yards are these ut Kansas City , East St. Louis , St. Joseph , Fort Worth , South Omaha and Sioux City. The plan for consolidating the vari ous stock yards has not progressed as yet to a point where the amount of stock required has been more than discussed. It would undoubtedly rim well to $100,000.000 , exclusive of the amount required for the packing com panies' combination , which Is said to bo $500.000.000. MANILA PAPER SUED FOR LIBEL.
