On Monday next the good people Of
Williston will be called upon to select .
new set of town officers. It is hoped
they will lay aside personal prejudices
and unite in choosing board OF trustees
who are possessed OF business ability and
will work for tho best interests OF the
city. Our present officers have done
excellently we'll for the past year. and in
the opinion Of the Graphic it will not be
bad idea to retain them. When you
have good thing keep it. Don't throw
aside good and tried men for the sake of
gratifying the ambitious aspirations of
men who imagine they know it all, but
who are absolutely not qualified to fill
any position, however simple the duties
NAV be. Williston has had quite enough
of that claes. and We hope the people
will not 20 back to the old regime. Give
us good men % trustees, and prosperity
cannot fail to follow.

MilnesviIle Abandoned.

1t has been authortatively announced
that the A. S. Van Wickle estate, opera
tors of Milnesville colliery, has given up
the lease of the Milnesville property.
Men are now at work in the slope tear
ing up the rails and making other prep
arations looking to the workings.
About 500 men and boys are affected.
No reason is assigned by the officials for
abandoning the colliery.
Rumors to the effect that Pardee Bros.
& Co., operators Of the Lattimer col
liery, will take up the lease are in circu-
lation. The Lattimer workings adjoin
those Of the Minersville, and it is urged
that the coal from both workings could be
prepared at one breaker. Old miners
state that many thousands OF tons coal
still remain In the Milnesville mine.

COMMISSIONS
FIRST SESSION
Strike Arbitrators Begin
Their Investigation.
Operators and Miners Have
a Brilliant Array of Coun-
sci at Scranton to Defend
Their interests.

The first formal session OF the An
thracte Coal Strike Commission was
held in the superior court room at
Scranton this morning at 10 o'clock.
The hours of the sittings were from 10
to 12 30 and 2 to 30 o'clock. The
hearing was public, but az the space OF
the court room Is quite limited not
many outside Of those directly inter-
ested were able to find accommodate
At the opening Of the session, Judge
Gray outlined what procedure will be
followed in the presentation OF testi-
mony. The opening address from the
miners side In the main consisted of
6,ooo-word statement prepared by Presi
dent Mitchell. The examination OF wit
nesses will likely not begin until Satur-
day.
The belief is that the hearings will
continue for at least two weeks, though
there is no certainty about this. That
the commissioners have no idea how
long the hearings will continue is evil
denced by the fact that the rooms for
them at the Jermyn have been engaged
for an indefinite period.
President Mitchell and his corps of
statisticians, lawyers, socioligsts and
practical miners reached Scranton last
evening. Since the termination of the
strike they have been working day and
MI uottiprso ~ II,
shape for presentation to the commits
sioners. Every detail has been care
fully attended to and Mr.. Mitchell and
his co-workers are confident that they
will present a case that the operators
and their attorneys will find it difficult
to break down.
1t is the belief OF Mr.. Mitchell that
most of the miners testimony will be
taken in Scranton, as many Of the min
ing towns in the region have poor hotel
accommodations. Should 1t be decided
to have the greater part Of the work
done in Scranton miners will be sum-
moned there from all over the region.
The members OF the commission have
engaged fourteen rooms on the second
floor of the Jermyn hotel for the use of
themselves and their secretaries.
All the big corporations and the In
dependent operators are represented by
counsel at the hearings. Ex-Judge AL
fred Hand and j. e. Burr Is associated
with John b. Kerr, the general counsel
of the Ontario and Western. James II.
Torrey is associated with w. o. Wilcox,
vice president and general counsel of
the Delaware and Hudson. Major
Everett Warren will look after the in
terests Of the Erie Co. John T. Lena
han, OF Wilkesbarre, and Joseph O'Bren,
of Scranton, are engaged to present the
case of the non-union men.
The miners will also have number
of able lawyers, among them being Mr..
Weyl, OF Washington; Mr.. Darrow, of
Chicago; James l.. Lenahan and John
and James f. Shea, ef Wilkesbarre, and
John j. Murphy, of Scranton.
