tified In Its stand when tbe strike was de
clared oft, because It had not been a party
to the appointment of the commission.
rnnrli K. Rnwen. for the Lehigh Val
ley company, suggested that the commis
sion recommend the establishment of a shift
consisting of a certain number ot cars to
constitute a day's work the men able to do
the amount of work required to receive an
advance In wages.
Qwotes Molllo McGalre Case.
Mr. Burns quoted Franklin B. Gowen In
the Motile McGuire case and concluded as
follows:
And yet the Mollies, with all their black
ness of crime, never made war on women
and children. This lower depth was only
reached by the boycotters of 1902.
In reality, the contest la between the
American people on one side and the union
miners on the other, and the issue 1 to
determine- whether the people may have
coal, except upon such terms as the union
may prescribe.
Taxation without benefit is robbery, if
we are taxed for the benefit of these plain
tiffs, we ask for some benefit in return;
not a pecuniary value, but we demand not
in insolent defiance, but as humble cltlxens
of this state, that protection and aafety
for ourselves and employes that Is guaran
teed us by the bill of rights of the con
stitution of Pennsylvania.
H. C. Reynolds, for the operator In the
upper region, asked the commission to re
quire contract miners to remain in their
working places until sll the cars were
loaded..
Samuel Dickson, for the Lehigh Coal and
Navigation company, O. B. Markel A Co.
and the Independent operators of the Lehi jh
region, said In part:
Where a trade union has been formed by
men in a epeclal Industry, so that its con
trol is in the hands of the employes Imme
diately concerned, thay constitute a natural
party to any dealings In respect to the rate
of wages. This is a naturr.l and normal
relation and the representatives of both
sides know what they are talking about
and the attention of both sides Is confined
to the questions which Immediately concern
them.
But the United Mine Workers' organisa
tion Is composed of men In the proportion
of three out of four belonging to a differ
ent region, with headquarters a thousand
mllee distant, having no common or Identi
cal Interest, except as . the men In the
mines of Siberia or the Transvaal have
the tame Interest as the bituminous or
anthracite miners of the United States to
get higher pay.
Simon P. Wolverton, counsel for the
Reading company, in his argument, said:
We don't oppose labor unions, but boys
under 16 years of age are In partial con
trol of the miners' union, and, according
to their own testimony, the union is not a
responsible organization.
John Mitchell wus oppesed to the recent
strike, but. the convention declared It.
Mitchell advised against violence, but there
was violence. He cannot control members
of the union
There Is every reason why the United
Mine Workers should be chartered. The
basic principle of the organisation if col
lective bargaining, but it doea not want
collective responsibility.
The calling nut of the pumpmen was a
smart step taken by Mitchell to compel
the operators to agree to one of the most
Important demands of the miners, that ot
an eight-hour day.
