the desirabiity Of bargaining in the an
thraclte regions been modified or
strengthened or have they changed at
all?"
Strengthened decidedly" the wit
ness replied.
After reading extracts from an article
In magazine supposed to have been
written by Dr. Roberts Mr.. Darrow
asked what was the temper of both
parties during the five months Of the
strike. The witness replied that II was
a condition Of war and that both sides
were Incorporate. DR.. Roberts In re-
ply TO a question as to what wages a
man should receive TO maintain the
American standard of living, said that
he would place the poverty line al 1915
per annum Under that amount, he
said, the miner and his family would
suffer physically intellectually and
mentally.
At the close Of DR.. Roberts examina-
ton, Mr.. Darrow, of counsel for the
miners union, said there had been
considerable disadvantage In getting
the exact evidence and figures which
he knew the commission wanted
Enough evidence had developed to show
that there were scarcely two mines
where the wages are the same.
To get at the exact truth therefore,
he said, II would be necessary to have
the duebills of the miners running for
a series of years and such information
as might be obtained from the com
pany books which II had been stated
would be gladly furnished. II would
expedite the work of the commission
therefore, he said. II the representatives
Of the miners could have experts ex-
anime into these figures and to do this
would require a little time.
Judge Gray said the commission
would be very glad to cooperate in
bringing about the accomplishment Of
that end.
1--WE have been aware for some time"
said he, that while the testimony
that has been adduced has been very
interesting and I will not say II has
not been Of value still II has not yet
been directly upon the points at issue
between the parties to this contro-
versy"
Continuing, Judge Gray said.
According TO the suggestion just
made by counsel that an interval Of
time be allowed for the preparation of
the documentary evidence, and for
possible agreement as 10 certain facts
and figures. which would forward the
work Of this commission the commits
sion hone that an effort will be made
by the parties to come to agreement on
nearly all II not all, the matters now
In controversy and that they will adopt
the suggestion heretofore made by the
commission TO counsel on both sides
that we aid them In such an effort by
our concllatory Offices, II seems 10 us
that many Of the conditions complained
OF and which have been the subject and
study of our examinations might be
better remedied By the parties TO 1.-The
controversy approaching the subject In
a proper spirit and with the purpose Of
fairly adjusting them We hope, gem
tlemen that the interval Of time TO be
granted may be awaited OF with this
end In view. In the meantime we shall
proceed with the work before us as we
have begun IT,"
MIR Warren, attorney for the Erie
company conceded with the views Of
the commission, and the attorneys for
the operators side suggested an adj
iournment Of week or 10 days, II was
decided by the commission TO adjourn
until tomorrow to give the commission
an opportunity 10 consider the amount
Of time they deem necessary TO permit
Of the preparation OF the documentary
evidence they desire.
