TESTIMONY AGAINST MINERS
WITNESSES CALLED FOR THE
NON-UNION MEN.

They Tell of Serious Boycotts and
Brutal Attacks by Union Men-Miners'
Attorneys object Frequently TO Hear

Some of the Testimony-C Chairman
Gray Speaks Strongly of Cowards.
Scranton, Pa, Dec. 1S.-The coal
strike commission listened to-day to
further testimony tending TO show that
a reign of terror existed in the anthra-
cite coal fields during the five and a
half months of the mine workers strike.
About a score of witnesses were called
by the attorneys for the non-union
men. They told of serious boycotts,
brutal attacks by crowds of men,
women and boys, and an attempt to
burn the house of non-union man.
In most cases, the witnesses testified
that the alleged offenders were men,
bers of the miners union.
The lawyers for the miners objected
frequently 70 the admissions of testi-
mony on hearsay, and sometimes OBJ
jected because of irrelevancy of certain
other statements. Chairman Gray said
the commission was not bound by any
strict rules of evidence, but asked
counsel to confine themselves in ex-
amining witnesses as far as possible to
direct evidence. The commission, he
said, wanted to know whether a reign
of terror existed in the anthracite
region, and it could not get that infor-
nation if the strict rules of evidence
were applied. "The coward who will
go to the storekeeper,'' he said, land
tell him not to sell the necessaries of
life to a poor woman, usually seeks the
obscurity that the law of evidence
throws around him. If a girl is dis
charged from her position in a store
because she rode in a street car in in
clement weather while a street car
strike was on, the coward who dis
charged her is coward enough to refuse
to testify" He recognized, he said,
why some merchants will not come for
ward and tell who forced him to refuse
to sell necessaries of life to certain
boycotted persons, but if he Chairman
Cray were a storekeeper, he thought
he would risk his all in order to- assist
in breaking up the coWardly business.

THE WAR BLOCKADE.
Arbitration Movement Not Affected
United States to be Neutral.

United States to be Neutral.
Washington, Dec. 1S.-As understood
here the blockade to be declared by
the allies against Venezuela on Satur-
day Is to be a war blockade" as con-
trasted with the peace blockade, -
which has been in operation since the
trouble with Venezuela assumed an
acute stage. Ordinarily a legal block
ade is preceded by declaration Of
war, but at times this fo17nality is dis
pensed with and a blockade maintained
just as though war had been formally
declared. To all intents and purposes
war has existed, and such condition
has been recognized by the govern
ments Of the allies. A formal declara-
tion that blockade has been estab-
1ished will be sent to all the powers
and it will be recognized by the United
States government. Following the prac-
tice in such cases this government will
maintain an attitude Of neutrality to-
wards the belligerents which they prac-
tically become by the establishment of
the blockade, although whether pres
idential proclamation announcing our
neutrality to the world will be issued,
has not yet been decided upon. The
matter will come up for definite deter
nination very soon.
Our government is fully informed of
the intention of the allies in the move
ment they are making in the operations
against Venezuela.
- The notice about to issue of the form
Al hIoolxoda of Uaro11a1a11 Y,orte, ie yo+
understood here to mean that Minister
Bowen's efforts to adjust the Venezue-
Ian difficulties have failed. It is con-
eeived that the naval commanders of
the powers were acting under explicit
instructions which included the estab-
Iishment of q blockade and 1t was not
expected that these instructions would
be suspended until the negotiations
through diplomatic channels had as
sumed phase indicative of final and
satisfactory adjustment.
As Minister Bowen has only to-day
been appealed to, to endeavor to effect
such an adjustment he has had as. yet
no opportunity of moving forward in
his negotiations to a point where he
might reasona bly, expect the allied pow
ers to cancel completely the remainder
of their punitive programme. Therefore
It is to be expected that the threatened
blockade will be duly published next
Saturday, unless in the meantime Min
lister Bower is able to offer sufficient as
surances that the Venezuelan govern
ment is ready to meet the terms Of
their ultimatums. 1t can be stated pos
itively that these assurances will not in
clude a direct guarantee by the United
States of venezuela's liabilities.
