MITCHELL CROSSEXAM|NED
HE PUT UP A SERIES OF BRIL-
LIANT REPLIES.
The Court Room Was Crowded to
Hear Attorney Macveash for the
Erie Company Attack President
Mitchell and Union PrincipIes-A
Fine Witness, Says the Attorney.

Scranton, Pa, Nov 1S.-ln the pres
ence OF as many persons as could be
| jammed into the superior courtroom
Monday Wayne MacVeagh for the Erie
company, and John Mitchell, for the
miners, continued their brilliant cross
examination before the anthracite coal
commission. The two men, the one in
his thirties and the other in his seven.
ties, were followed with intense inter
est by both the commissioners and the
crowd throughout the day.
The fourth demand OF the union,
which calls for a yearly trade agree.
ment and which means a straightout
recognition of the union, was the bone
of contention, and although several
hours were taken up in discussion of
the question, not much material pro-
gress was made. Wayne MacVeagh,
skilled in the art of cross-examination,
attempted to show the utter irrespon-
sibility of the union and its unfitness
to make contracts which it could not
live up to. His principal argument
was the alleged boycott, and he often
hard pressed the miners president for
an answer. The latter, however, SLOW
ly and deliberately gave some reply,
but it did not always satisfy his in
quisitor.
Mr.. MacVeagh, in the presence of
the assemblage, expressed his admira-
tion of the ability of the witness, and
on one occasion, when Mr.. Mitchell
parried question regarding the boy
cotting of a coal and iron policeman
by hotelkeeper, the distinguished at
torney threw up his hands, laughed,
and said: Mr. Mitchell. you are the
best witness for yourself ever con-
frontcd."
Mr.. MacVeagh weighed heavily on
what he said was reign of terror in
the anthracite region during the period
of the strike. He read a list OF II
names Of men who were killed during
that time and also submitted in evil
dence about rs printed pages of acts
OF :.lleged violence, boycott and intiml-
dation, and, with the assistance OF sta
tistics and other documents, main
tanned that 1t would be utterly imprac-
ticable to enter into agreenents with
an organization that can noe control
It's own men.
mr' mitchell stoutly maintained that
the discipline in the organizatlon IS as
good as 1t possibly can be where 147,.
900 men are involved.
