ARBITRLTORS SIT TODAY
Will Hear First Evidence in Strike Case
at Scranton.
votUMINoUs STATISTICS IN READINESS
Operators to Present Amazing Array
OF Figures for Miners to Combat
with WAGE Cheeks and
Due Bills.

SCRANTON, Pa, Nov. 13.-All the mem
bers OF the anthracite strike commission
are here in readiness to begin work tomor-
row. Sessions will begin at 10 o'clock in
the Lackawanna county court house and
two sittings will be held each day.
Most Of the representatives of the con-
tending parties are also on the ground.
Each side will have an array Of attorneys
and It is expected that at least two weeks
will be taken up in hearing the evidence.
Mr.. Mitchell will probably open the pro-
ceedings with a formal statement, in which
he will present the case of tho miners to
the commission. 1t is understood his state
ment is rather long and that IL will take
him fully an hour to deliver. Following
this It is expected Mr.. Mitchell will call
witnesses, most Of whom will be practical
miners. but about twenty-five or thirty Of
the workmon will also be called.
c. S. Darrow and Henry D.. Lloyd, both
OF Chicago, will deliver addresses on be-
half of the miners later In the proceedings,
and then the operators will make their de-
Tense.
1t is the intention Of the commission to
adhere as closely to ordinary court pro-
cedure as it can. 1t will not, however,
unnecessarily restrict either side in pre-
senting evidence. it being the desire Of
