PHOTOGRAPHS OF CONDITIONS
MaeVeagh Shows Pictures of Miners'
Houses, and Refers to Savings.

MaeVeash Shows Pictures of Miners
Houses, and Refers to Savings.
After going over the demands of the
miners MacVeagh took up the condi-
tions existing in and about the col
Heries of the companies he represent
ed, his purpose being to show that
the conditions spoken of by Mitchell
We're not borne out by investigation.
He took Forest City, where the mines
of the companies are situated. as an
example. and produced photographs of
houses in the town, and also referred
to the large deposits of money in the
local bank to show the prosperous con-
dition of the community. Mitchell, al
though not admitting that the condi-
tions as represented by MacVeagh
were true, said he could not, for lack
of familiarity with the community,
deny his assertions.
MacVeagh Contended that no one
had the right TO deny Il man the priv
lege of working more than eight hours
day if he so desired. He said not
one member of the commission would
be occupying his present high place
if he had limited his own labors TO
eight hours n day. With reference to
this argument Mitchell thought it was
not fair to compare the mine workers
with the arbitrators. MacNeagh said
he himself started out in life by work
ing fourteen hours Il day on farm,
and for more than forty years he had
worked more than ten hours Il day.
To the direct question of whether he,
as president of the union. had n right
to curtail the hours of employment
each day of the miners. Mitchell said
he thought he had, and made an eX-
PLANTATION by saying that If one miner
worked more than eight hours II day 1t
would probab bly, result I'm the other men
being compelled to work the samenum-
Der of hours.
The questions at issue were threshed
over at length by the two gentlemen
and at the close of the session the
commission adjourned to today with
Mitchell still on the stand. The men,
bers of the arbitration commission OBJ
served yesterday by refraining from
doing any work whatever Most of
them, as is their rule. attended serv-
ices at churches of their denomina-
ton in the forenoon.
