m0ny of Mine Inspec-
tors Invited.

SCRANTON, Pa, Dec. 4.-There were
no Developments this morning looking
TO a settlement outside the commission

inineworkers and their employers.

was employed by Coke Brothers &
Company. was he first witness called.
He was the president Of his local union
and was told by the company, he said,
that if he quit the union he would be
given boss job. He refused. and lat
er was given such had work that ne
gave up his job. He said he vas the
means of bringing Il Slayonians TO this
country at the instance Of breaker
boss at he Coke mines. They were
promised $I.10 a day, but received only
65 cents day.
When the witness was asked how
many time she had seen the mine in
srector In the mines. Commissioner
Watkins asked the purpose of the
question. Mr.. Darrow said that, as a
rule. the mine inspector is accompanied
by company official, and therefore a
miner Is afraLi to make a complaint
In the presence Of hissons. Mr.. Mitch
eli maintained inspectors should be un-
accompanied. and their attention not
diverted from bad places in the mines.
II was decided TO invite ali mine in
Spest ,rs to testify regarding the point
raised.
Rumors of possible negotiations look
Ing to settlement outside Of the COM
mission continued to be heard. Law
yers admit that they have heard such
r'imors. but say thay know nothing
about possible settlement.

In Discussing the Matter.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 4.-The
liveliest session of the merchants ex-
change held for some time occurred to-
day. For time riot seemed immi-

Gliding to send Chief Grain Inspector
Bunker to Port Costa to examine into
the condition Of 5000 eentals of wheat
delivered there since December by

This action was made necessary be-
cause of complaint made by those
who purchased wheat that it was not
a first class article and therefore not
the grain that had been ordered de-
livered to them. They demanded in
vestigation and the grain committee to
avoid trouble promptly sent Inspector
Bunker to Port Costa to examine the
grain.
