THE NEWS OF THE WORLD


The majority of the members OF the
anthracite coal strike commission left
for Scranton, Pa. where they will meet
to begin their investigation of the con
ditlons in the mining region.
The hearings will not begin until the
formal claims OF the miners and the
answer of the operators have been
fled
The first place TO be visited after
leaving Scranton probably VIII be

sion through the coal fields in advance
of the hearings will he of preliminary
character, rs the same points will be
visited later for the taking of testi-
mony of the mine bosses, foremen and
the miners themselves
The towns to be visited probably will
include HaZleton. Shenandoah, Potts
Vile, Tamaqua, Shamokln and Carbon
dale.
Members of the commission say they
will go into the subject exclusively,

report would be ready within two
