He has appeared before the committee and when he came away declared he had presented charges. The commit tee says he did not formulate them. In the absence of direct accusation there can be but one en4ztozthe inves- tigation.

Roberts was still on the stand when the commission adjourn ed for the day.
 One of the most important things brought out during the cross exami- nation President Mitchell today was his emphatic declaration that the miners were opposed to separating bi- luminous miners from anthracite workers, thus creating two organiza- tions. What effect Mitchelrs declara- ton will have on the attitude of the commissioners if this phase of the la Dor question is taken up by them, of course is not known.
 The non-union men, those who re- Tsained at work during the strike. were made party to the arbitration plan today by their counsel. agreeing to make public the 1ames of tae men who petitioned the commission.
 In connection with the nonunion feature of the investigation. Mir.
