THE READING STRIKES.
THE CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE
Investigating thO. O.nIatter-ArEumsnts Made
Ysstorday-rhe Company to Blame for
the State of AnAirs-Mr. Brumm
Makes u Very Strong Point.

WARRINGTON, D. O., Feb. lO.-The Sps'
cial committee appointed to investigate
the existing labor troubles in PenuaylVa'
mia elected Representative Tillman chair
man, and then listened to an informal
statement from Representative Blumm,
whose district is in the Reading region.
He said that the railroad and mining
companies were one and controlled the
mining and prices Of coal in the entire
region. He thought this whole lockout
was i0stered by the Reading company,
and that the other corporations were ss
deep In the mud as the Reading is in
the mire. In his Judgment, II the coal
mining business were not connected with
the carrying businesS the effect would be to
put higher price on coal at the mines
and q lower price on freight. In that
way, while the miners could be paid
higher wages, the lowering Of the tolls
would allow coal to De sold more cheaply,
and by the incidental increased demand
the coal output could be increased and
more work afforded the men. When the
Workman's Benevolent Association Wss
power in the coal region, and there
were.numerous individual operators, the
men were better treated. Subsequently
the railroads by annoyances Of all
kinds, crushed ont great msny indlvidu.
operators and secured control Of the
others. From the time the "long strike"
occurred, in which the men were beaten,
there had been constant complBints that
the established Reading scale was vio-
lated to the injury OF the miners.
Mr.. Brumm denied that the miners
were combining with the railroad men
and said that while the latter were in the
wrong at first, the blame Of refusing to
arbitTste rested upon the railroad officials.
After the first interview with Supsrin-
tendent Sweigert, said Mr.. Brumm, the
representatives of tho men had attempted,
they said, to send kilograms declaring the
strike of and ordering minern back to
work, but the Western Union Telegraph
Company, which to considerable extent
was controlled by the Reading Company
had refused to send some messages and
delayed others; and when, in consequence,
many OF the men st distant points did not
return to work the company had tho next
day laughed in the strikers faces. The
hearing will be continued tomorrow.
