MORE STORIES OF ASSAULT.
Sonunion Miners Continue to Present
Charges OF Intimidation
Against Strikers.

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 20-Nonunion
men, some of their relatives and 9TH
ers to the number of 80, appeared be-
fore the coal strike commission and
told their stories of alleged boycotts,
intimidations, dynamiting and vio-
lence in various forms, during the late
strike. Each witness called was n
sufferer in one form or another at the
hands, they alleged, of union men.
Four witnesses said attempts were
made to blow up their houses, one
the witnesses were threatened with
bodily harm; several were beaten, one
was shot in the leg, every one stoned,
boycotted or hung in efiigy. One
school teacher testified having lost his
position because his father did not
strike. One man was asked to resign
from a Catholic temperance society,
and another witness was expelled
from local lodge of the Ancient Or
der of Hibernians, after membership
of 26 or 2S years, because they were
classed as unfair workmen.
The commission will meet at nine
o'clock this morning and adjourn at
11:45 o'clock for the holidays. Most
of the commissioners will immediate
ly leave for their homes.
Scranton, Pa, Dec. 20.-Chairman
Gray, when the strike commission
opened its session Friday, recalled the
incident of Wednesday, when the ac-
curacy of the wage statements of two
men employed by the Pennsylvania
Coal company was questioned. The
lawyers for the miners challenged the
good faith of the general manager of
the company, and Chairman Gray
said that if the company could not
show how many men figured III the
wages handed to the commission it
might shake the faith of the commits
sion in the wage statement. Chair
man Gray said that he has since been
informed that the auditor of the COM
pany notified one of the assistant re-
corders when the figures were hand
ed in that the company was unable to
give in all cases the exact number of
men sharing in the earnings. The
chairman said he did not wish &c con-
vey the impression that the commits
sion impugned the good faith of the
company.

TRADE REVIEW.

Are hoIesomc-Holidny Trade
Great in Volume.

New York, Dec. 20.-R. G. Dun e
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Holiday trade has exceeded even
the most sanguine expectations AMI
retail dealings in all staple lines of
merchandise are well maintained,
with the better grades of goods in
brisk demand. Wholesome condi-
tions prevail in most sections of the
country, although in parts of the
southwest the season has fallen be-
hind the average. Even in these
cases, reports are encouraging for
the future. Industrial plants are
well employed, orders running far
into the future, and labor contro-
versies are rare. The only adverse
feature of the situation is the fac.
that supplies of fuel are utterly in-
adequate, both for household and
manufacturing uses, snow increasing
the delay of deliveries. Two events
of Importance have occurred in rela-
tion to the leading manufacturing III

poration has greatly extended its
scope by absorbing many outside
plants and certain desirable railway
connections. The other was the an
