that no men should be discharged
except after q fair hearing. When the
superintendent refused to reinstate the
men pending q hearing, a general going out
followed. Subsequently a meeting was held
in Pottsville, and it was resolved to effect
q settlement. Witness and Others went to
Philadelphia and called on Superintendent
Sweigart and made an arrangement to de.
clare the strike off. There was no written
| agreement. The superintendent was asked
to cut the agreement in writing, but re-
fused, and wanted to know if they cues.

| to his agreement and discharged the rep.
r~esentative men. All along the line the
men went out as there was nothing csc to
do. Referring to the trouble at Elizabeth,
| N. J.. witness sale it was due to the refusal
| of the men to load a boat with coal for
Coke, in whose mines there was Il strike
| and the men believed the Reading road
| was irving to aid Coke in his fight Against
| the strikers. 1t WAS held by the strikers
that the Reading company were helping
the Lehigh Coal Company in Il standOUt
| against the employees. Corbin was asked
to bring about a settlement between the
company and the men. Corbin, together
with Mcleod, OF the railroad and
coal company, suggested as a remedy a
plan by which the coal market would b.
bulled and the wages of strikers be made 10
60 no with the price of coal. This Tie
strikers refused to accept. Corbin did rot
want to be known IN the matter. Bg!Jfe
the interview with Corbin, the witness had
endeavored t o get work il the Heading
shops as a machinist, but was toll he
could not go to work, that he was doing
more for the Reading Railroad Company

ASSISTING THE
than twenty-five machinists would DO
worth to the company. This strike is a
benefit to the Reading Railroad company
but we don't want the public to know it.
He endeavored to have Corbin exert his
influence in behalf of a settlement between
the operators and the men. Corbin told
him he did not see why there could not he
a settlement. that he was paying per
cent. advance and Lehigh could afford to
Day. Mr.. Corbin said he, as q business
man, wanted to make money, but la
wanted to make it out OF the public. lie
would like to pay the men gooa
wages and the company wouif
lose nothing by it, because coal
would advance and the public would have
to stand the expense. At the conclusion of
Lees testimony Hugh McGarvey, an Old
miner, testified and was followed by Jobu
II. Dawson, another miner, who said: The
operators lived in luxury and hat their
horses. Pardee was worth $t1, 0oh.-

and against policemen? Nj. Gladstone
interrupted the speaker saying there was
not an atom OF foundation for such assar-

citing language in Gladstone's Nottingham
speech, and said he did not complain, but
rather congratulated Gladstone on his
change OF tone. Grave reflections have
been cast upon the resident magistrates in

three magistrates, Earl Spencer appointed
