' When asked It he .countenanced the stop page of funerals, the preventing of physi cians attending a nonunion man or a mem ber of bis family, Ml". Mitchell declared that be did not.' Mr. Mitchell was banded a photograph of a young woman school teacher, who. It was alleged, bid been dismissed from her po sition because her father had been a non unionist, and was asked jf it was air to rob her of her place on that account,.,. ... . ot t'pheld y Talon. "As a general 'proposition." said '. Mr. Mitchell,1'! should say do: It Is going -to a oKtrerse,' which no labor organization uphold.',- He said, however.' that under conditions .it would impair the cftloiency of the teacher,- because Hhe pupils tho chil dren of men on trtke-r-.would not obey, and therefore It was prone?- to petition far the teacher's removal untlf at least matters had quieted doan. Asks About Panipmen. Mr. MacVeagh asked bow he could justify calling out of pumpmen when they were Indispensable to the preeervatlon of the property of the operators. Mr. Mitchell declared that If the strike order bad for Ha object the destruction of properly the union would not have given twelve day' 'notice. "You offered the owners," said Mr. Mac Veagh, "the dread alternative ot groveling In the dust beforo you or risking the de struction of their property?" "That la not a proper statement of the cause,"' said witness, and be went ou to ex plain that the pumpmen were acting inde pendently of the mioera. Mr.. MacVeagh cited the commission of fourteen murders in the anthracite region. Mr-, Mitchell, however, insisted that many of tbem were killed by the coal and Iron police, and looking over the list he men tioned four who were members ot tho union. Counsel next referred to the failure ot a hotel In Forest' City to board a man. Mr. Mitchell replied' quietly that the union was not running hotels, and Mr. MacVeagh leaned back and was unable to suppress his laughter at the retort. "You are the best witness for yourself that I ever confronted," be said. Would Punish Violence. Continuing. Mr. MacVeagh said: "Don't you think these acta, deserve the state ment I made today that they are a fore taste ot bell?" "Does our union commit these acts?" Mr. Mitchell Inquired. "Wt will follow with the proof," re marked Ms. MacVeagkvi'but I.ask you what language do you use to characterize this situation?-'4 """. r "I should simply say," said Mr. Mitchell, "that those who committed crimes ought to be punished. The situation would be intol erable. There never have been occasions when the responsibility placed upon members ot our orgaplgatlon," he added. "I don't know that any of our men have been convicted except the two who mur dered Mr, . Bweeney, . and were sent to prison." "Ob, only sent to prison for killing a nonunion man?" "It Is better." said Mr. Mitchell, "than to promote s, militiaman wbo bad shot a man." ' ' Answering additional questions. Mr. Mitchell said, with some degree of im patience: "I have time and again in em phatic language stated that I disapprove of any lawless act, making no exception to that rule." "I think more men were killed on elec tion day," the witness said, "than . lost their Uvea In the anthracite strike." Again Judge Gray took a hand In the ex amination and aske: "to bow large a degree does the success of a strike depend upon the existence ot such a reign ot ter ror?" "I should say," Mr. Mitchell replied, "the conditions alleged i w ould reduce the chance of winning. In my judgment, vio lence never contributed to the auccess ot a strike because it loses for those on a strike (be. sentiment of the public." "Assuming these outrages were perpe trated," continued counsel, "will you say that In your opinion the operators ever had a ghost of a chance to work their mines without your consent?" "I do not . think," replied tlfe witness, "that the mines could., have been started this winter or, any. time during the sum mer, even In. the absence of one act ot lawlessness. ?, do, npt, believe a sufficient number . of men would have returned to work on,tbe stages paid for, a year." Who Vned DyuunjHe. Mr. Mitchell, after : further . Questions, aid that any. man who, would use dynamite for the purpose of destroying property ought to be sent to the penitentiary. ".It 1 a peculiar thing." said be, "that no, one was hurt. The miners, if they wanted to blow up property, knew how to. do it." "Don't you see you have given your whole case away?" Inquired Mr. MacVeagh. "I '. do . not seo bow," responded Mr. Mitchell. '.'They did not want to kill people," sar castically remarked Mr. MacVeagh, "they wanted to Intimidate them without having their necks ia the gallows." '.'Do you think they sought to Intimidate the railroad bridges?" Mr. Mitchell ssked. "They sought undoubtedly to prevent the : The work of artist . craftsmen Gorham Silver U fashioned by silversmith wbo preserve the tradition of the meduevil craftsmen.

I don't (hlnk your people were averse to trying to create a sentiment against the strikers." "We did not need to do so. They created 't against themselves Only too rapidly." : "Well," said Mr. Mitchell, "If the public jiad been voting' On It you would have found a considerable majority on the other Side." -"' .' V'" . Mr. Mitchell was still 'on the stand when the cffmmisslon adjourned. NONUNION MENj ASK RAISE Want Better WasTf. not InsUt that Miners' Organisation He lie. Insert Rettoajnitloa. KCRANTON, Pa.. Nov. 17. The nonunion mine workers tonight died a statement ot their case with the anthracite coal strike commission. The statement in part is as follows: The nonunion mine workers we represent present to the said commission the follow ing statement of their demands: Klrst For an increase of 20 per cent on the price paid during the year 1901 to em ployes performing contract and pljce work. Second For a like Increase of 20 per cent upon the price , aid during the' year IMol to employes paid by the hour, day or week. Instead of desiring a reduction In the hours of employment we Insist - upon a right to work as many hours as we choose and aa opportunity affords so as to better our conditions and increase our earning capacity. Third We demand the adoption at each colliery of whatever methods may be neces sary and practicable to secure for the miner a. minimum rate of 60 cents per ton of 2,240 pounds upon all coal sold from said colliery, the differentials now existing at the various mines to be maintained. Fourth We protest against the making of any agreement between the United Mine Workers of America and our employers de termining what wages shall be paid to ns and what shall be the conditions of our em ployment or pretending to deal In any re spect whatever with our rights or Interests an mine workers. Fifth We earnestly protest against any agreement being made by our employers with the United Mine Workers of America, for the reason that any agreement If made will render It Impossible tor us to continue to earn our living by our labors in and about the mines In which we are now em ployed or to which such agreement applies and will subject u and our families to all manner of abuse, violence, outrage and probably murder. The nonunion meq Insist that it shall be an Indispensable condition to any dealing with any members of the union that they desist from annoysnce t them and their families. '-'"V. .);',. The statement asks protection against acts of Intimidation, violence and' boycot ting and describee how they, were terror ized during the strike. . .. . . ,," It concludes by guaranteeing that , the nonunion mine workers will abide by the decision of the commission: The statement Is signed simply ''Non union Mine Workers." Schools of Small Advantage. . POTTSVILLE, Pa Nov. 17. Statistics gathered by the United Mine Workers from the Schuykill region for presentation to the arbitration committee show that only 4 per cent ot the graduates of the local high schools are sons of miners. The wage rate shows an average of S3S5 per year for the mine workers, wages of laborers being included with (he miners In the calculation. A protest will be made In behalf of the Schuykill miners to the commissioners against the , acceptance ot the proposition of the Reading company to base the rate of wages on the price of coal. This wss the system In vogue here before the strike of 1900 snd mine workers say to return to it would be very unsatisfac tory.

Va.. made charges against Presi dent Oompera of the American Federation of Labor which Impeached his fidelity to the principles of unionism: therefore, be it Resolved, That the Federation appoint a committee to Investigate said charges and report Its finding to the convention in order that the truth may be known. "I object!" shouted a delegate at tbe far end ot the hall. Instantly Mr. Gompers was on his feet and Mr. Shaffer started toward tbe front of the platform, both Intent on securing tbe withdrawal of the objection. Mr. Gompers spoke first, saying: "I hope my friend will withdraw bis ob jection." "All right, I withdraw it." was the reply. Mr. Mabon of the Street Carmen's asso ciation at once made a motion that tbe matter be referred to a special committee of five. Vlco President Duncan offered an amend ment, which was accepted, and It was de cided that Mr. Gompers should name two members, Mr. ShaiTer two and the fourth a fifth. This motion was adopted by the con vention and Mr. Gompers named John A. Moffitt of the United Hattere and Edgar A. Agard of the Glass Bottle Blowers' aaso elation, Mr. Shaffer, J. M. Slayton of the Carpenters and Joiners and W. H. Has klns of the United Mine Workers of Ohio. When the committee met later but three members were present and It was decided not to appoint the fifth member and at tempt work until tomorrow. A resolution that before any union shall make a demand for a change of wages or conditions It be referred to the central body for action was reported adversly by the committee on boycotts, to which com mittee It was referred, and Its sctlon was sustained by the committee. President O'Conncll of the machinists declared that insufficient time had been given committees to complete their work, and asked for an adjournment until Tues day morning. In order that the convention could proceed more rapidly with its labors. His motion prevailed and an adjournment was taken.

The Union t Pacific has resorted to the expedient of dividing ita passenger trains to euable them to make something like schedule tlmo. When No. 8. the fast mall train, was divided into two sections tho statement was given out from the head quarters that it was donn as s means ot Im proving the running time, that since the traffic had so materially Increased It was impossible; most of tbe tlmo, for this long train to make. Its schedules." ; NOW ..practically all the other passenger trains on the msin lino have been thus rut In two and are running about eight cars on sn average. Tho theory advanced shortly after the resignation of General Manager Dickin son of the Union Pacific that a general superintendence would be created to tako the place of the general management and that Superintendent of Transportation Buckingham would be selected, tempo rarily at least, for tho latter place, seems smply justified In an appointment which Is announced at Union Pacific headquar ters over tbe signatures of Mr. Bucking ham and President Burt. - Tbla appointment is William D. Lincoln ss csr-. service sgent, who is to, have "charge Ot thi e i)t ire car equipment, and all communications and reports with referonce to tbe movement of cars and time freight, mileage, etc., should be addressed to him." This work . formerly was . done by the superintendent. of transportation, Mr. Buckingham. Prior to Mr. Buckingham's accesaion to the superlntendency of trans portation, however, he beld the car service agency under .that title, but when be was given large . duties be dropped the title and it haa since been obsolete at Union Pacini headquarters. As bss been said, Mr. Buckingham now occupies the office room of former General Manager Dickin son, retaining the title of superintendent of. transportation. . His duties, however, make him practically general superin tendent. Mr. Lincoln has been chief clerk to Mr. Buckingham and bis promotion Is regarded as a just reward of merit. Several other changea in Union Pacific clerkships have been occasioned in the gen eral freight department by tbe resignation of Charles Wlngo, formerly claim clerk In that department.
