EXCESSIVE DOCKING.
Shown by Testimony Before the Strike
Commission,

Shown by Testimony Before the Strike
Commission.
Scranton, Pa, Dec. 15,-The strike
commission yesterday heard cumu-
lative testimony on matters that have
already been before the commission.
This testimony tended to show that
there mas been excessive docking:
tnat many men have been discrim-
mated against because they went on
strike rather than do the work of
strikers; that they have been paid one
price for mine cars of all sizes; that
they DO not get paid for all the coal
mined; that they should have the
elght-hour day because the mines are
unhealthful and dangerous, and that
they ought to receive higher wages.
Late IN the day President Mitchell
was called to the witness stand and
presented comparative figures which
showed that men paid by the day re.
ceive from 40 to so per cent higher
wages in the bitunihous regions than
IN the anthracite fields. His figures Of
the anthracite fields were gathered by
MS own officers, and hurried compar-
lson with the figures handed to the
commission by the Delaware e. Hud-
son company. he said, showed that his
were generally higher.
The attorneys for the miners do not
expect to close their case until the
early part of next week. 1t is not
known to the lawyers of the compa.
nles whether they will be able to pro.
coed with their case then, and it is
possible that they will ask for a short
recess.
