unions are not held responsible for it, are
they?'
To which Mr.. MacVeagh quickly re-
sponded that they were not and supple
mented this with the remark that labor
unions are most admirable. The bring
ing of the word anarchy into the ex-
animation caused a distinct murmur OF
disapproval from the many mine work
ers in the court room.
SCOPE OF INQUIRY WIDENS.
While the discussion of the effect a
yearly agreement would have on the coal
industry in the anthracite region was in
progress, frequent reference was made
to the workings of agreements in soft
coal regions. This led to the announce
ment by Chairman Gray that the COM
mission had decided to invite Herman
Justi Commissioner of the Illinois Coal
Operators Association, to testify before
the commission. This announcement was
favorably received by each side and the
attorneys for the miners and the opera
tors made suggestions for additional
witnesses.
Mr.. Wilcox, general counsel for the
Delaware and Hudson Company, after
conference with other attorneys, hand
ed up a suggestion that "such other wit
nesses, if any, as the Illinois Coal Oper-
ators' Association, may deem proper for
the purpose of showing the effect of the
trades agreements with the United Mine
Workers of American" be invited to at
tend.
Mr.. Darrow, counsel for the miners,
suggested these names:
O. l.. Garrison, of st. Louis, president
of the Illinois Bituminous Coal Associa-
ton; j. Smith Talley, Of Tere Haute,
president of the Indiana Bituminous
Coal Association; J. II. Winder, Colum-
bus, Ohio, manager OF the Hooking Coal
Company; T. w. Davis, Saginaw, Mich.
commissioner of the Michigan Coal
Oepartors' Association.
1t is likely the gentlemen whose names
have been suggested as witnesses will
be invited to come here.
The investigation is dragging too
slowly to suit the commissioners, and
it is likely the commission wills prob
ably tomorrow, ask both sides to agree
on some arrangement for expediting the
investigation Mr.. Mitchell has now
been examined by the attorneys of only
two companies
CASE OF THE NON UNION MEN.
The second attorney, Mr.. MacVeagh,
is not yet through with him. The law
yers for the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Railway Company, and the
Philadelphia and Reading Company will
next take Mr.. Mitchell in hand, unless
the programme is changed. 1t is ex-
pected the attorneys for the non-union
men will present their case to the COM
mission tomorrow. They have asked the
commission to take up the grievances of
the non-union men, growing out of the
strike, and as the non-unionists are not
a logical party to the arbitration scheme,
their attorneys have been requested to
give reasons why the commissioners
should take up their case. If it is de-
cided to hear them, it will inject an en-
tirely new feature into the investigation
and one which was not expected in the
| time President Roosevelt created the
commission.

 "To the Club Women of the State Having been honored with the po- Sition of lady manager for Arkansas at the Louisiana Purchase Exposi- ton in 1903, it is my earnest desire to secure the best exhibit of woman's work to be obtained.
