NEW YORK, March 26.-John Mitchell
president of the United Mine Workers.
gave out an interview to-day concerning
a statement made in Wall street to the
effect that the coal operators could not
accord recognition to the Miners Union,
since they considered ii unbusinesslike to
bind themselves to a body whose leaders
could not make any agreement that would
be legally binding upon the miners. Mr..
Mitchell said: such an objection cannot
consistently be made to recognition of our
union by the operators. They have been
and are now treating with labor organ
izations whose responsibility is no greater.
If as great as that of the United Mine
Workers of America. In the light of these
precedents, the operators cannot stand be-
fore the public consistently in refusal to
recognize our union"

but when shown a deed executed in Texas
and asked whether some OF the writing on
the back was in Mr. Patricks hand, Meyer
answered that he did not know, as Mr..
Patrick had many styles of handwriting.
Mr.. Osborne then questioned the witness
regarding the documents executed on June
so. That was the date on which the alleged
will OF Rice, known as the Patrick will.
was executed. To most OF the questions put
to him along this line. Meyer displayed
lack OF memory. Meyer testified that the
will mentioned above had been drawn by
him (the witness) at Mr.. Patrick's request,
in Mr. Patricks office aud partly steno-
graphically, at his dictation. Witness was
then shown several documents which are
general assignments transferring some of
the late millionaires property 10 Lawyer
Patrick. Meyer said he had seen Rice sign
them and that he himself had signed
them as witness.
Meyer told of a visit of Patrick TO his
house early on Tuesday morning and said
that he had been sent by the latter with
a message to Valet Jones at the Rice apart
ments. He found the police in possession
and preparing to take charge OF the body

message to Lawyer Patrick. Meyer swore
he did not remember the purport OF the
message.
At this juncture Justice Jerome grew i'm
patient and sternly rebuked the witness.
IF you expect to be believed, young man,
said the justice, ''you must be more frank
than you have been thus far. At no time
in not too limited experience have 1 wit
messed such a wrangle on the part of an
attorney for the people to get the proper
answers from witness for the people,"
Witness was asked whether Mr.. Patrick
ever had discussed with him the fact that
he was the sole legatee of the late Mr.
Rice. Meyer tried TO evade the question
but finally was made to admit that he
might have done so, although he did not
recollect it. He said he knew of a former
will of Mr.. Rice executed in 1896, but did
not know that Patrick had spoken of IL tc
him.
This concluded the session. The exam.
ination will be continued tomorrow morn
