tory is in districts and of the United
Mine Workers of America and is under
the jurisdiction of Presidents Thomas
Duffy and John Fahy, of the miners
union, who will accompany the commits
sion.
Chairman Gray said the object in TAX
ing recess of week was for the pur-
pose of giving both sides sufficient time
TO prepare their cases and also to give
the members of the commission an OPP
portunity to examine the issues. The
comm ssioners feel that the questions in
volvcu are so important that any haste
may work all injury to either side OF the
controversy.
When the hearings are begun. it is the
irtention to have the miners. who are
considered the plaintiffs. submit their
case first. How long it will take to hear
all the testimony cannot be estimated by
the commissioners The 81 individual
operators will also be given an oppor-
tunity to be heard. as well as all the
larger coal companies.
The miners will take up considerable
time in presenting their side OF the case.
The question OF making preliminary
report on some of the issues involved,
such as the increase of wages, shorter
working day and the weighing of coal at
the mouth of the mines. has not vet been
officially taken up by the commission.
