members practiced the same unlawful meth
DDS as are being followed in Pennsylvania
today. Mr.. President, we firmly believe
that any adjustment of this matter as has
been suggested here today wdA only result
in perpetuating conditions that are utterly
abhorrent to any good American citizen

therefore, concur therein.

Statement of Mr.. David Wilcox, vice
president and general counsel Of the Della
ware and Hudson Railroad Company:
'.rhe United Mine Workers Of America is
an association composed of a large number
Of miners and laborers engaged throughout
the country in mining anthracite and btu
minous coal and employed by the owners of
the mines. 1t has divided the whole coun-
try into various districts, each of which Is
represented by a so-called president. and
embraces local unions, and 1t seeks to COM
pei every one engaged in the industry to
join the organization. The affairs of the
association are managed by an executive
committee, having its headquarters at In
dianapohs, and by conventions called from
time to time, representing the entire or
ganization. The object and practice Of the
association are, SO far as possible, to regu-
late the supply Of labor engaged in the &C.
cupation of coal mining throughout the
country and the terms OF employment
thereof Itpthus consists of one central or
ganization, which restraints and controls
the production of fuel everywhere through
out the country and monopolizes the labor
engaged therein. These are its purposes
and results. Its ultimate object is to con-
troll the entire fuel supply of the country.
At this hearing 1t is represented by one
person, while six persons represent but a
part Of the production Of anthracite coal.
1t is, therefore. the most extensive combi-
nation and monopoly which the country
has ever known. It habitually enforces its
orders and directions by whatever means
may be most effectual, including strikes,
boycotts, picketing, besetting and the like,
in which are compelled to join, as far as
possible, all other persons similarly en-
