right and General Wilson upon his left
Without any preliminary statemen!
Chairman Gray announced that the Pres

commission with power to vote, and then
read kilograms from President Mitchell
and President Baer. speaking for all the
operators who signed the proposition

Mitchell Cites Demands.
THE commission is met Today said
Chairman Gray, in order that it may
hear and consult with the representa-
tives of the parties to the controversy
in regard to matters that pertain to the
work before t."
He added that the miners would be
regarded as the ''pursuers' in the mat
ter, and that therefore they would be
heard first, although arguments were
not desired at this time. Mr.. Mitchell
then stated that the miners would be
ready to submit their detailed state
ment of their case to the commission
on Monday. He read. however, the for
NAL demand Of the miners made at
the Shamokin convention, which led to
the strike. This asked for an increase
of 20 per cent to employees performing
contract or piece work. a reduction Of
20 per cent in time Of 'salaried employees.

as they had not access to the books OF
the companies.
Mr.. Mitchell finally said that the
miners would be willing to accept the
rate of wages paid by the Philadelphia
and Reading Company as a basis upon
which to ask for an increase and for
improved conditions, If they could be
verified. The outcome of the discus
sion was an understanding that the ope-
rators shall submit various rates. earn

toned or there is dispute that the com
mission shall appoint an auditor to

Commissioner Watkins suggested that
the commission take week to visit the
mines Mr.. Thomas thought it could
not be done in thirty days.
Eve have been in the business all our
lives he said, 'and we have not
learned everything about them yet"
while this matter was under discus
sion President Thomas. upon behalf of
the operators, said that the companies
would be glad to provide private cars
and special trains for the accommoda
tion of the members of the commission
10 go to the fields and visit the various
mines selected for inspection, and that
the members would be entertained by
the railroads
Pay Own Expenses.
This matter was taken up in an execu-
tive session after the departure of the
representatives of the parties to the
controversy, and it was decided not to
accept the offer, in view of the fact that
it might appear as a favor on the part
CT the operators toward the commits
sion. Accordingly the members of the
commission will travel on regular trains
and pay their own expenses, railroad
fare and hotel bills.
General Wilson asked if the commits
sion would have an opportunity of see
ing the homes of the miners, to which
Mr.. Mitchell replied that an oppor-
tunity of this kind would gladly be af-
forded. He thought 1t was important
that it should be done.
The commission has designated the
firm of Hanna & Budlong as official
stcnographers to the commission, and

wards as stenographers to the members

THE MESSIAH IS SUNG

SD"
The experiment of producing the mas
terly oratorio, Handel's 1.-THE Messiah, -
as a part of the annual Christmas festivi-
ties, was made last night by the Philhar-
monte club. There was considerable doubt
in the club about the results, but the
audience that filled the 2,4O0 seats Of the
Swedish Tabernacle swept away. all ques-
tionings. Just before the close of the
oratorio, President Frederick Fayram
made a brief speech expressing the deep
qualification Of the club at the apprecia
ton Of their musical efforts. and he prom
ised that the singing Of The Messiah
should be continued annually with all the
resources of art that such a splendid pat
ronage would make possible and that the
prices should be continued low, in order
that the influence of this lofty religious
music might be as widespread as posi-
