nrf d Is flense Men.
PHILADELPHIA, Jun. 16 More mine
official were called toriay to tell the strike
commission that under tb" Influence of the
union the workers restricted th" produe- i
tlnn of rnil snrl nlhurwlRD Interfered with !
the discipline of employee.
The Erie ompany closed its cane early
In the day, after ratlins a physician, who
spoke of the good health cf th? mine work
ers. s-rrnnton Open Case.
The Scrnnton Cool company, which oper
ates besides lta own the collieries of the
Elk Hill Coal and Iron company, then took
up the attack This company turns its cial
over to the New York. Ontario A Weotcrn
which virtually controls tho mines.
Wltnessei drnled the existence of a
blacklist, said contract miners worked on
an average of six to aeven hours a day,
claimed that the local unions compelled
men to load an equal number of cars, thus
restricting tho output, and alleged that
the men were careless in obeylns orders
and that frequent petty strikes occurred
because a union man was dismissed for
Insubordination.
One Inside foreman aald th employment
of a check welghmnn, Insisted tin.m by the
union, had proved to be a good thing for
the company, because the miners rent to
the surface cleaner coal.
The accountant of the Scranton Coal
company presented figures to show that
alnce a check-docking b.iss win employed,
at the request of the miners, dockage had
been reduced one-half and no friction had
arisen.
Superintendent Allen of the Erie com
pany said a few dnys ago that the em
ployment of check-docking bosses was not
practicable, because, the two men would
not agree regarding the amount of dirt In
a car.
Kndeavor to Plense Men.
James E.- Burr of Scranton In opening
the case for the Scranton ompany said:
The company employs about S.OGO men and
boys. It pays the lauotvrs direct, pursuing
a system always In vogue at its several
collieries. This hns always been dune at
the request of the miners, um we shall
show. The statements tiled show that the
company is paying fuir wasts, us fair as
those puid by other operators engaged In
mining In the region where it operates.
We shall show thut we have endeavored
to pacify and cvncllnte. all persons making
complaints and to adjust any serious diffi
culties? ,Ve shill further show thnt we
had to guanl our own property during
the recent strike at our own expense,
chiefly by our own employes, from among
whom all of oui coal and iron police were
appointed; that we suffered sever? losses
by damage done to (Mir collieries by mobs
of strikers and strike sympathizers, and
that we are constantly Interfered with In
our efforts to preserve our t.-opetry.
We shall show alxo that It would not be
Just to us or reasonably practicable tn
change the methods of payments now em
ployed by us.
To compel us to change from payment bv
the car to payment by welpht would entail
not only great expense but serious delays In
operating our mines, and we shall show
that It would make no special difference
In the wages received by the miners. In
short, that it would be useless. Ineffectual,
unfair and unusual. .
Krsnk L. Northup, bookkeeper and ac
countant, explained several statementa he
handed to the commission. The wage
statement for 1901' Bhowed that 758 worked
more than four months and received less
than $400 each, 246 worked lesa than four
months and received between $!60 and $300,
200 worked mores, than four months and
received between $500 and $600, 191 worked
nearly full time and received between $600
and $800, seventy-eight worked full timo
and received between $700 and $S0rt, twenty
three earned from $S00 to $.kio, three from
$900 to $1,000 and three over $1,000.
Defines Insubordination.
James Smith of I'erkvillo, Inside fore
man of three colleries. told talea of alleged
Insubordination. He said that when a
miner refused to work for a sum fixed by
the company It was Impossible to fill his
place, because of the union rule that one
man t,hall not take another's place unless
discharged for good cause. Runners, he
claimed, refused to deliver rars to miners
who had not paid their dues to the union
and men, ref .ised properly to top cars be
cause the "local" told them to do It In
another way and declined to handle Cars
lowered Into the mines by a nonuuion
engineer.
Witness also claimed that while the men
atayed In the mines about an hour lonjer
alnca the company started to keep their
time, the amount of coal has not Increased
much. '

NEW YORK, Jan. 16. R. O. Dun ft Co."s
Weekly Review of Trade will Bay:
The fuel shortage Is still the only seri
ously disturbing element In the Industrial
situation. Transportation facilities have
been diverted from other merchandlae to
the advantage of shippers, yet furnaces are
unable to secure sufficient supplies of coke
and many other supplies are decreased be
cause of lack of coal supplies.
o Hope for Coal.
Mines are more fully operated, but there
Is no prosnect of normal conditions until
spring.
Retail trade was accelerated by the cus
tomary clearance sales, especially In dry
goods and kindred branches. Traveling
men are sending In large orders for spring
goods, the volume of advance business sur
passing the customary amount for this time
of year.
Conditions In the Iron and steel market
do not mean dullness or diminishing con
sumption, but merely the oversold condi
tion of furnaces or mills, together with the
uncertainty about keeping plants on a day
to day supply of fuel. Inquiries are nu
merous, especially In Industrial lines, but
makers sre not ready to accept Itlds until
the future becomes more clear.
The demands from car builders are phe
nomenal. The entire capacity of the lead
ing plants l already booked for six months
and at many concerns the last half of the
year will bring no relief unless orders are
cancelled.
Shoe Orders Are Llsrbt.
Most factorhs are employed on spring
shoes, but new orders are light; western
Jobbers purchase freely of tall samples.
Quiet conditions In leather have been suc
ceeded by an Increased demand for hem
lock sole and standard t.pper, shoe manu
facturers placing liberal orders. Last
week's slight recovery In the hide market
was not sustained.
There Is little disposition to anticipate
wants In the cotton goods division, but
Immediate needs have evidently grown
more pressing.
In the woolen goods division the opening
of piece dies was made at an advance, out
not as much as some sellers anticipated.
Only moderate selling was experienced In
the great staples, with the tendency up
ward. However, prices have been charged
for refined sugar, and good grades are firm,
and weakness Is the feature In coTee, owing
to excessive supplies at all points.
Failures for tho week numbered 267 In tho
United States, against 334 last year, and 38
In Canada, compared with 40 a year ago.

Bradstreet Sees Last Mlsslas; Evidence
of 4atlsaal Prosperity.
NEW YORK. Jan. lt-Bradstreefa to
morrow will say:
With the much needed expansion tn ex
port trade one of the few Important miss
ing evidences of national prosperity has
been suppl.ed. Export trade In December
was bett-r than anticipated ,and In Janu
sry encouraging elements hrve occurred.
Regular spring trade can hardlv be said
t.i nave openeu, though activity is steadily
Increasing.
KetHli irade In winter goods has been
maintained at a good volume by a generallv
ihrtuje temperature. There Is little com
plaint of reixil stocks being st sll heavv.
Confidence In a hesvy spring business in
creases ss that wimo approaches.
. I ihe Industries remain exceptionally
active, the puastbla exception being where
shortage In fuel ur railway congestion limit
production, as la the case of soft otsl and
coke In the west. "
The sireugiu ul kaslUig agricultural
staples, mainly wheat, corn, oats snd cot
ton, has been tho feature of the price situ

JUDGE KNAPPJDEFINES TRUSTS
Interstate Commerce Chairman Says
Problem Is to Turn Industry from
Selfishness to Cbnrlty.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 16 The Ark
wrlght club had Its annual dinner tonight,
among Its guests being Governor B. B.
Odell, Judge Martin I. Knapp, chairman
of the Interstate Commerce commission,
and former Governor Voorhees of New
Jersey.
Judge Knapp, speaking of trusts, said In
part:
Today the great enterprises of the world
are In the hands of corporations and the
time Is fast approaching when they will
absorb all Important undertakings. The
legitimate, the Inevitable offspring of cor
porations Is monopoly. Why? Simply be
cause the operation of these massive forces,
grinding on each other In every market of
the world, begets -danger, which invites and
often compels common agreement as to,
prices and production. That Is a trust.
We are entering on a period of great
transition, a period of difficulty and many
dangers. The whole structure of Industry
and Industrial life is lluble to be subjected
to a strain, possibly to a shock, for which
experience furnishes no guidance. Cnn we
raise this wide re,alm of Industry from sel
fishness to charity, from strife to friend
ship from competition to co-operation,
from warring Instincts of the savage state
to the nobler roads of associate life? This
Is the problem which will test the wisdom
of statesmanship and tax the resources of
public authority.
