Says Cars Grew Larger, but Wages Did
Not = Mitchell in Now

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 10-Presiden,
Mitchell of the miners union was not
present at the hearing of the strike
commission today having gone to New
York to attend meeting of the civic
federation.
The first witness was James Gala
CHER, a Markle employee, who was on
the stand Saturday. He said the size
of the mine cars has steadily been in
creased, but the wages paid have not
been raised.
Absorption of all the independent an
thracite coal holdings by the large COAL
carrying roads may result from the
strike and the present hearings before
1.-the strike commission. If 1t had not
been for the objections of the inde-
pendents, the entire strike question now
in dispute would have been settled by
giving the miners 10 per cent in
crease and nine hour day.
That action has resulted in the con-
sideration by the big companies of the
wholesale purchase of the independents.
1t is not at all likely that this will take
place at once, or before the commission
makes its findings, but it is not improb-
able that within six months or a year
many of the independents will have sold
out.

Blind Men Testify.
MIR. Darrow, for the miners, present.
ed two witnesses who had been injured
in the mines. Both We're stone blind
and had TO be led to the stand. One of
them, besides losing both eyes in an
explosion, lost one arm and the hand
of the other arm was rendered almost
useless. The other blind man lost part
OF one of his ears in the explosion in
which he was caught.
After they left the stand the attor-
neys for the operators protested
| against bringing those unfortunate
men to the witness stand. They We're
injured before the strike and had no
direct bearing on the matter before the
commission. They sympathized with
the men, but thought it was not the
right thing to have them appear be-
fore this commission
Mr.. barrow sal he did not intend to
overdo the presentation of such wit
nesses, but he wanted to bring the
commission to a realizing sense of the
dangers of coal mining.
Chairman Gray here broke in and
said he hoped the thing would not be
overdonc. I'VE have Il realizing sense
of the conditions" he said, and may
say that never saw sadder spectacle
than that presented by these two men,
