THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE A oNE-sIDED
INVESTIGATION.
HARRISBURG, March 1.-THE Investigation
Committee is still watched with absorbing interest, but
action is not hoped for. 1t has wasted week now and
really presented but few facts not already known. The
railroad evidently regard the investigation as
good joke, and well they may, since, from an invest
CATION into the unlawful extortions of tho
panies, it has changed into miners inquisition.
The slow work Of night sessions exhausted the patience
everybody, and in Difference TO general DESIRE the
Committee hold sessions through the day. The miners
find the OF living in this city pretty hard drain
upon their almost empty purses. To-day, Gowan, the
Railroad manager began operations by conducting the
examination, and summoned several witnesses to sub
stantiae the general charges OF characterization and
trustwOrthincss against the miners
The general DRIFT OF this evidence w0uld, II trust
worthy, lead TO suppose that the miners were
lentless and luxurious yrant who abored merely for
gymnasc exercise, and stopped the works Of the oper
tors whenever the spirit OF idleness came upon them
One witness made known that his mines at sbam0kn
had been for year worked by independent men, and
that these workers had been threatened driven of and
murdered by the W. B. A. Society. The cr0ssexamina-
toD however, failed TO establish single charge OF the
kind.
The whole story the part of the Companies is
lame iteration the gene raj against the miners. 1t
has been concusvely shown, by the most onesided op
position testimony. that the miners in few make
over So week. yet in nstance was 10 shown that
operators and railway failed TO receive less than
from 81 to 80 per cent on their Investments.
The news OF tho action at the btumlnOus mines 40
JOhnstown has thrown the monopOlists into cOnserna
ton. l. boosted that the in that trade would
ignore and shun the leaders OF the anthracite Organza
ton, but the result shows how much the temper Of the
coal men throughout the State has been mistaken.
