UNDER CROss-ExAMINArION


Counsel for the OPERATOR Questions the
o. m. w. President
After the direct examination "a
completed Attorney Wilcox took up
the cross-examination for the opera
tors. Referring to the matter Of the
keeping Of contracts Wilcox read from
the mine workers constitution and
asked if there vas any provision in it
which authorized the expulsion of men
who violate agreements. Mitchell said
that he would have such authority.
1.-The constitution does not specifically
contain any provision for turning a
man out of the organization, but it does
confer power on its officers to inter
pref it and To exercise supervision un-
der it. The Interpretation is the law"
Then you are now making the law"
said Wilcox. Then Wilcox had read
Mitchell's testimony before the indus
trial commission, where Mitchell out
lines the U. NJ. w. policy and the con-
ditions of mining at that time. Then
Wilcox took up the Indianapolis con-
yention called last summer to consider
a general strike of coal miners every
where in support of the anthracite
strike. Mitchell admitted that on
tracts were superior to the U. NJ. w.
constitution, and that the bituminous
miners were Gnder contracts.
Willcox-How then could that con-
vention have considered the question
of inaugurating a national suspension?
Mitchell-lt did not consider it, be-
cause by unanimous vote it was de-
cided not to inaugurate a national sus
pension. 1t was called for the purpose
of considering the application of the
anthracite miners that a sympathetic
strike be inaugurated in the bituminous
coal fields.
Replying to another question Mitch
ell intimated that the real purpose of
the convention was to ecure the as
sessment in aid of the anthracite strik-
erS.

BILL Anotner case OF NeiApse fntO EorDar~

Record.
Lewisburg, Tenn, Nov. 14.-John
Davis, a negro, was hanged in the
court house yard yesterday morning
by a mob Of 500 men, for the murder
of Robert Adair, a farmer living near
this city. Adair's body was found In
a terribly mutfiated condition In a
field near his home here yesterday. He
had started out In pursuit Of a thief
who was stealing his corn, and when
his body was discovered the stock and
barrel OF a small rifle and a knife ov-
cred with blood were found near him.
The knife was identifed as the prop
erty Of John Davis, cOlored. The
sheriff organized a posse, went to the
house of Davis, and found a pile Of
bloody clothes. but the murderer had
fed. He was caught about half a mile
from town, but not until he had been
twice wounded. The lynching fol-

Hopkins, KY, and asked Mitchell II
he approved Of the methods Of the
U. NJ. w. there. Mitchell knew Of no
lawlessness committed by strikers. He
had sanctioned the strike, but had
called II OF. Wilcox cited a case
that had been decided by q court, but
Mitchell said the president had par
doned the men, who were sent to pris-
on for violating an injunction. He
denied that there was any reason for
injunctons against strikers for doing
things that were lawful, and COM
planned that injunctions were issued
restraining his union from doing per-
fectly lawful things.

THFY WANT TO BE EXCLUSIVE:
Residents Of . Street at Anderson Sc
About Buying Land for q Novel
Purpose.


Anderson, Ind, Nov. 15.-In order to
make their neighborhOod exclusive,
some of the residents of West Eighth
street are compelled to take on more
property than they can use at this
time. They are also unwilling victims
of some property owners who now see
a good opportunity to sell out at their
own figure. AS an instance Of con
trolling the surroundings, s. j. Mack,
a plate glass manufacturer, who has
an elegant home in Eighth street went
across the street and bought all the
houses and lots that stood opposite his
premises.
Then he had all of the houses re-
moved and the vacant lots transformed
into a flower garden. Thomas III. Snow,
who started to put up a twO-story
business building on a small lot at
Eighth street and Madison avenue, was
waited upon by q committee Of prop
erty n adjoining the corner. They
paid Snow $1,000 for his lot and will
prevent the corner being occupied by a
business building.

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 15.-Tbe anthra.
cite coal strike commission yesterday
began the hearing Of testimony by
which it will determine whether or not
the workmen are receiving fair and
just wages for their labor and wheth-
er their conditions should be improved.
The star witness for the miners
President John Mitchelf-toek the
stand in the afternoon and when the
commission adjourned at 4 p. m. he
was still under the fire of cr0SS-exam-
ination by David w. WILCOX, general
counsel Of the Delaware and Hudson
company. 1t was a trying day for the
miners leader, but be seemed TO stand
the test we'll.
Notable Day for the Region.
The opening of the sessions was a
notable day in the annals of the law
in the upper anthracite region. Such
an array of lawyers has never been
seen in this part of the state. In addi-
ton there was a large number of men,
bers Of the bar present who came to
merely look OIL. The court room at
both sessions was packed almost to
s~uffocation, and scores of persons were
unable to gain admittance. Only one
Of the heads of the large coal COM
panies, Chairman Thomas, of the Erie,
was present. There were among the
spectators quite a large number of
general superintendent and district
and Eine superintendent, all of whom
took a deep interest in the proceedings
and some of them frequently made
notes.
Status of the Non-Union Men.
One of the questions which came up
before the commission was the advis-
ability of hearing counsel on behalf Of
the non-union men who remained at
work during the strike. Attorney John
T. L~enahan, one of the attorneys for
the non-union men, asked the commits
sion what his status before the arbi-
traitors was. Judge Gray informed him
the question would be taken under
consideration, and that an answer
would probably be given him today.
Mitchell, before taking the witness
stand. presented the miners side Of
the case in a 6,0O0-word statement.

He Brings Up Recognition of tho Q. n. W.
Very Distinctly.

He Brings Up Recognition of tho q. NJ. w.
Very Distinctly.
MitchelPs statement was a repetition
of the arguments he has heretofore
used in supporting the strike = that
the work was not sufficiently remu-
nerative; that it was more dangerous
than similar work.. that the pay sys-
TEN is dishonest the pay by the
car instead of the legal ton; that eight
hours is the standard days work in
mines. In the matter of comparative
wages Mitchell named the bituminous
gold, copper and iron mines as NEIL
who get better wages fer similar and
less hazardous work.
The recognition of the u. NJ. w.
is the most interesting question be-
fore the commission, principally be-
cause, the proposition made by the
operators upon which the commission
is founded absolutely shuts out the
Z. NJ. w. and requires the ~investiga-
ton to be one purely between the men
in each mine and their employers. But
Mitchell ignored this in his opening
and said: I'VE demand recognition
because weknow that permanent peace
and friendly relations can be best main
tanned through a trade agreement with
the organization which our people have
elected to join. Fully 90 per cent. of
the employees of the anthracite coal
mines are members of Il from choice,
they desire to retain their membership
and they desire to retain their men,
bership in it.
1T was the United Mine Workers
of America that conferred with the
president of the United States in rela-
ton to the submission Of the issues in
volved In the coal strike to this COM
mission; it was the United Mine Work
ers of America that was requested by
the president to end the strike; it was
the United Mine Workers that sent the
men back to work, and it is the United
Mine Workers of America that pledged
to accept the award of this commits
sion"
In closing Mitchell outlined an agree
ment between the U. NJ. w. and the
operators covering the anthracite
mines. During the hearing the state
ment was brought out for the first
time since the late strike was inaug-
urated hat the union had disbursed
S1,5OO,OOO among the union and non
union men who were on strike.

MILAN, mayor of West Tampa, who
was said to be responsible for the

Cigar factories in West Tampa, and
who was depOrted last Sunday by un-

yesterday. Deputy sheriffs were

An ovation was given him. The
mayor made d speech, telling how he
was captured and deported by a com

to Key West. He said he was told
never to return under penalty of death.
He denied having caused the strike.

1t is worth noting that these cures

goes without the new dress that husband

Strike Could Not He Ordered In It's Viola
tiou-Union and Non-Union Men,.
WILCOX then inquired if, under the
constitution of the United Mine Work
ers, should there be a strike In the
western Pennsylvania bituminous
mines, and it should turn out that an
thracite coal was going there, the ma
tional officers could not order q strike
in the anthracite district. Mitchell,
with emphatis, said that they could
not, because it was so provided in
the contract.
What methods do you adopt to pre-
Vent interference with non-union
men?" asked Wilcox.
well ordinarily said Mitchell, Gin
the bituminous fields all the mine
workers i'm states where they have
contracts are members of the organ
ization. In parts of central and west
ern Pennsylvania they are not. They
work together in harmony. There is
no difficulty between them. The organ
ization tries by persuasion to have the
non-unionist come into the union. In
the anthracite field they have worked
the same way"
There is 10 definite method of pre-
venting interference or anything done
on that subject particularly, is there?"
There is usually no interference,
and consequently no necessity of hav-
ing laws to prevent it." Mitchell re-
sponded.
