SHARP CROSS EXAMINATION.
President Mitchell Subjected to it
But Meets it Well.
WHc WOULD CARRY THE COST.

Scranton, Pa. Nov. 1S.-Prcsident
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
union, occupied the witness stand
throughout the day. For four hours
and half he took the cross fire of two
brilliant attorneys of the coal COM
panies and ended the day with few
scars as result of the battle. David
Wilcox. of New York, general counsel
for the Delaware & HUDSON company,
and Wayne MacVeagh, Of Philadel
phia, who is representing the Penn
sylvania Coal Company and the Lehigh
Coal and Iron Company, were the
principal questioners and they put
hundreds of questions to Mr.. Mitchell.
The best of harmony prevailed between
the lawyers and the witness. The
members of the commission continue
to take the same intense interest in
everything and frequently interrupt
with questions in order that they may
have a better understanding of what
is being said.
Mr. MacVeagh questioned Mr.. Mitch
ell on the demand for an increase in
wages, and pressed the national presi-
dent hard when he asked him if he
cared to carry the responsibility of
increasing the living expenses of the
great mass of the people of the Eastern
states, who would ultimately have to
carry the burdens of the miners if
higher wages were granted.
GGXVhO would ekan1 f0- ;e
! cost? Don't you think the poor would
be the real sufferers" Mr.. MacVeagh
asked
AZ suppose the operators will make
the poor stand for it. We are not
responsible for that"
Mr.. MacVeagh made the most of his
opportunity to picture the great bur
den that would fall upon the people if
the demands of the miners were grant
ed.
After going over the demands of the
miners, Mr.. MacVeagh took up the
conditions existing in and about the
collieries of the companies he repre-
sented, and tried to show that the
conditions spoken of by Mr.. Mitchell
were not borne out oy investigation.
He took Fort City, where the mines
of the companies are situated, as an
example, and produced photographs o:
houses in the town, and also referred
to the large deposits of money in the
local bank to show the prosperous
condition of the community.
Commissioner Watkins asked Mr.
Mitchell if the union permitted a
miner TO employ three laborers.
The organization is opposed" said
Mr.. Mitchell, ''to miners employing
more than one laborer. 1t is not the
execution of any well defined policy.
1t is simply a regulation that the
miners of the anthracite field find nee
essary to protect themselves against
faVOli tiSm "

INDEPENDENT OPERATORS.
Make Very Plain Statements in
Answer to Mr.. Mitchell.
NOT A CoNCILIAToRY WORD.

Scranton, Pa. Nov. 15.-The an
swer of the independent operators of
the Lacl1awanna and Wyoming region
to the statement of President Mitchell
of the Mine Workers union is made
public. In response to the demand for
an increase in wages they say that the
present wages are such as to enable the
diligent and sl1illful miner to earn
more per hour than any other class of
labor, skilled or unslilled, in the
towns in which their mines are located
and amply sufficient to allow him not
only to maintain an American standard
of living and educate his children but
to lay aside something for his old age.
That some miners wages are small, it
is stated, is because they choose to ex-
ercise their option to work only few
hours a day.
In answering the contention that
mining is extremely dangerous and I'M
healthy and tends to shorten life the
operators set forth petition recently
circulated in the interest of a candidate
for mine inspector which contained the
names of ninety-five employees of one
mine, &c of whom had worked in the
mine for 20 years or more, 20 for 40
years and five for so years or more.
The demand for the weighing of coal
and the payment by the legal ton of
2 ,24O pounds instead of by the fictitious
ton of ., $50 or 5000 pounds is charac-
terized as a thinly disguised effort to
secure 40 per cent increase in wages.
The answer asserts that $50 pounds
of coal as it comes from the mine is
barely sufficient to produce a ,, 24o-
pound ton of prepared coal.
Regarding the declaration of the
miners that labor unions improve the
morals and discipline of their members
this comment is made.
''This may be true when applied to
some organizations, but when applied
to the miners union we enter a most
emphatic denial and propose to intro
duce evidence showing that prior to
the advent of the Mine Workers of
America it was considered bad form to
to exercise his constitutional rights to
sell his labor, and that the vast num-
Der of brutal murders and beatings
during the past five months show what
the teachings of the United Mine Work.
