: Strike Leader Strong Under
Cross-Examination.
" -HOLDS HIS OWN WITH LAWYER ,
" "Wayne MacVcagh Sayo Miners' Presl-
i dent Is Best Witness for Himself
He Ever Confronted Resents Inv
. putatlon of Anarchy.
Scranton , Pa. , Nov. 18. In the pros-
cnce of as many persons as could bo
jarumod Into tbo superior court room
. "Wayne MacVeagh , for the Erie company -
pany , and John Mitchell , for the mln-
crs , continued their brilliant battle oC
cross-examination before the anthra-
clto coal commission. The two men ,
the one In his thirties and the other
In his seventies , were followed with in
tense Interest by bo til the commis
sioners and the crowd throughout tbo
day.
day.The fourth demand of the union ,
Which calls for a yearly trade agree
ment , and which means a stralghtout
recognition of the union , was the bonu
of contention , and although four hours
was taken up in a discussion of the
question , not much material progress
was made. Wayne MacVeagh , skilled
In the art of cross-examination , at
tempted to show the utter Irresponsi
bility of the union and Its unfltness to
make contracts , which it could not
live up to. His principal argument
was the alleged boycott , and he often
hard pressed the miners' president for
* an answer. The latter , however , slow
ly and deliberately gave some ixsply ,
but they did not always satisfy his In
quisitor.
MacVeagh Admires Mitchell.
MacVeagh , in the presence of the
rnssemblage , expressed his admiration
of the ability of the witness , and on
one occasion , when Mr. Mitchell parTied -
Tied a question regarding the boy-
cottlng of a coal and iron policeman
iby a hotelkeepcr , the distinguished attorney -
torney threw up his hands , laughed ,
-and said : Mr Mitchell , you are the
"best witness for yourself I ever con-
fronted. "
Mr. MacVeagh weighed heavily on
What he said was a reign of terror In
the anthracite region during the pe
riod of the strike. He read a list of
fourteen names of men who were
killed during that time , and also sub-
xnltted In evidence about seventy-five
printed pages of acts of alleged vlo-
. , > lence , boycott and intimidation. Mr.
> 1 V Mitchell said that in some cases men
may have been deterred , but he denied
-the assertion that such alleged acts
prevented the mines from being oper
ated. He said that when the strike
was declared every mine worker in
the region quit work and remained
out , even after the entire National
Guard of the state had been thrown
Into the coal fields. In short , he said
that the men would not have gene
to work under any condition. The min
ers' president , no matter how skill
fully ho was questioned , could not bo
dragged into a flat admission that he ,
as president of the union , approved
of the boycotts complained of by the
companies.
During the cross-examination the
commissioners often Interrupted with
questions in order to stop a long colloquy -
quy over some disputed point. While
the examination was at times quite
I spirited the best of good feeling pre-
vailed. Only once Mr. Mitchell showed
signs of Irritability. This was when
Mr. McVeagh , reading the long list of
acts of violence , would take Mr. Mitch
ell to task for some vicious act , and
Bay : "You could have prevented
this. "
Question of Shorter Hours.
1 In the course of the forenoon ses
sion Mr. MacVeagh examined Mr.
Mitchell regarding the eight-hour de
mand , and referred to the fact that
Lincoln , Oarfleld and McKinley
worked more than eight hours'a day
and were thus enabled to climb the
ladder to the presidency. Mr. Me-
JVeagh added : "I only mention these
because they are the thrqe victims of
the spirit of anarchy , which Is the
curse of this country today. "
The miners' president , quick as a
flash , came back with Jhe Inquiry :
' "Trade unions are not responsible for
It , are they ? " To which Mr. Me-
iVeagh quickly responded they were
'not , and supplemented this with the
remark that labor unions are most ad
* mirable. The bringing of the word
"anarchy" Into the examination caused
a distinct murmur of disapproval from
many mlno workers In the court room.
The commission decided to Invite
representatives of the Illinois Coal
Operators' association to testify before -
fore the commission. ,
i Non-Unlon Men Ask Raise.
The nonunion mine workers ,
through their attorneys , John T. Len-
ahan and Joseph O'Brien , filed the
etatement of their case with the an-
.thraclte coal strike commission. They
demand an increase of 20 per cent.
Continuing , the statement says "that
Instead of desiring a reduction in the
hours of employment , wo insist upon
a right to work as many hours as we
cheese and as opportunity affords , seas
as to better our conditions and ID-
crease our earning capacity. "

SUICIDE STORY DISCREDITED.
No Trace of Mrs. Sechrest and Child
Can Be Found ,
Loavonwortti , Kan. , Nov. 18. The
Sochrost suicide story Is discredited
hero. Mr. and Mrs. Berry , If they
came to Leavonworth with Mrs. So-
clircst , did not report the mnttor to
the police , and no trace of them can
be found. All the hotel registers
have been scanned , and nil the lodging
houses visited. No footprints have
been found along the river bank , and
the place whore the suicide is sup
posed to have jumped Into the river
Is near a switch shanty , where rail
way employes are throughout the
night. The hat and note were found
by a brakemnn on a midnight freight
train. The note read as follows :
"To whoever finds this : Please
take the clothes to Journal olllco and
they will send It to 445 North Twenty-
sixth street , Lincoln , Neb. This is to
mark the place where I , Mrs. Al So-
chrest , and baby have gone to rust in
the deep Missouri. "

signed "Mrs. Sechrest , " dated Lin
coln , Neb. , Nov. 5 , but mailed In Kan
sas City , and addressed to the Kansas

yesterday. In it the writer an
nounced her Intention of killing her
self and her baby , and requested the
prosecuting attorney to press the mur
der charge against Dr. Louts Zorn ,
whoso trial for killing her husband
was sot for yesterday. Mrs. Sochrest
was the principal witness for the state
against Zorn and It Is believed that If
she killed herself she did so to avoid
this ordeal.
QOMPERS-SHAFFER ROW.
Old Steel Strike Quarrel Revived at
Federation Convention.
New Orleans , Nov. 18. Either Theodore -
odoro Shaffer , president of the Amal
gamated Association of Iron , Steel and
Tin Workers , or Samuel Gompers ,
president of the American Federation
of Labor , is destined to pass under a
cloud. It is a light to the finish , with
the odds In favor of Gompers. The
trouble which BO suddenly came to a
point in the convention of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor yesterday Is
an echo of the great strike against
the United States Steel company ,
which was fought and lost last year
by the Amalgamated association under
the leadership of Shaffer. After his
association had been defeated Presi
dent Shaffer did not hesitate to utter
charges of a serious nature against
President Gompers , as well as against
John Mitchell , president of the United
Mine Workers , and Frank Sargent of
the Brotherhood of Railway Firemen.
He asserted that the organizations
over which these men presided had ,
while listening to the advice of their
leaders , refused to lend a helping hand
to the Amalgamated association , and
had even 'fought against it in the
dark.
The charges were levelled against
Mr. Gompers in particular. Delegate
Sheridan brought the resolutions be
fore the convention and a committee
was appointed to Investigate the
charges.
