ready for submission to the commission.
Judge Gray reminded him that an argu-
ment was not wanted, but merely state
ment of grievances and claims or de-
mands Mr.. Mitchell said he thought he
could not be prepared before Monday. He
suggested that some questions, such as
hours of labor would apply to all of the
miners and could be considered In relation
to all of them. while other questions might
be considered in relation to each separate
mine. He said further, that he appeared
before the commission as the representa-
tive of the miners of the anthracite region
Mr.. Truesdale's Proposition.
Mr.. Truesdale of the Delaware and Lack
awanna Railroad Company made state
ment concerning his company 1t en-
ployed. he said. 1900 men and boys. His
company urged that it's employees appoint a
committee representing the union and nom
union men and that they present TO the
commission a statement OF their case with
suggestions as to their future conditions
of employment.
He urged the great Importance and the
need for such course of procedure, and
claimed that the committee representing
the employees should be present at all of
the hearings of commission, the COM
mittee TO decide by a two-third vote ques-
tionS il desired the commission should
pass upon.
This statement was received by the COM
mission without comment
Mr.. Wilcox Heard.
Mr. David Wilcox, vice president of the
Delaware and Hudson Company, was the
next speaker. He said there were very
many individual operators in the region.
There were many non-union men, and he
suggested that the commission invite these
non-union men and the individual operators
into the conference.
Their position was that the wages paid
were adequate and compare favorabiy to
wages in other lines of work in the anthra-
cite region. He. had had some figures pre-
pared to verify this statement. The seri-
Gus question was whether the wages paid
were adequate. Every vein has its own
standard. and in the case of his mines they
would show the exact facts.
Judge Gray suggested that the Commls-
sioners be furnished with list of all the
important individual operators who are not
already in the case.
This was assented to by the operators,
and Mr. Mitchell said he had supposed that
that would be done.

Local Officials Pleased.

A dispatch was received at the Colombian
legation here yesterday saying that the CO.
lombian gunboat Bogota was then entering
the harbor of Panama.
The Bogota is the vessel which, according
to rumors at Managua, Nicaragua, Satur-
day, was engaged in battle with the in
surgent gunboat Padila.
The officials at the legation are congrat-
ulating themselves on the safe arrival OF
the Bogota at Panama, as they confidently
believe she will exert an important influence
in ending the revolutionary movement In
that department. She was equipped with
only four six Founders on her trip down
from San Francisco, most of her armament
having been consigned to Colon, with the
intention of transporting it overland to be
placed on the cruiser when she arrived at
Panama. This additional armament con-
sists of a fifteen-pounder. two six-pounders,
two machine and several smaller guns.

INSPECTOR OF OIL BURNERS.
District Commissioners Asked to Make
an Appointment.

H c. Meyness of 725 Sd street north
west has written to the Commissioners sug-
costing that. in view Of the increased use
OF coal Oh as a result of the coal strike, an
inspector of kerosene burners should be ap-
pointed. TIE writer says:
"A number of the burners are made of
sheet iron and will not stand a fair test.
Furthermore. they are carelessiy made and
there is more or less danger attending their
use. One burner in particular uses water
to force the oil to the retorts, and the oil
passes through pipes extending over The
fire before 1t is allowed to enter the burner,
thus forming a gas in the pipe between the
tank ard the burner. Such things are a
menace to the public and for that reason
submit that the oil burner Inspector ought
to be appointed"
