NO END OF TESTIMONY
As to the State of Things in the
Anthracite Region During
the Strike.
LETTER OF PRESIDENT NICHOLS
Indicating That He Knew What Was
Going On-What the Wit
nesses Told.

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 20.-Non-uniou
men, some Of their relatives. and 9th
ers to the number of thirty, appeared
before the anthracite strike commits
sion yesterday and told their stories
of boycotts, intimidatiOns, dynamiting
and violence in various forms during
the late strike. Each witness called
was sufferer in one form or another
at the hands, he alleged, of union men.
Four witnesses said attempts were
made to blow up their houses, one
house was badly damaged, many of
the witnesses We're threatened with
bodily harm, several We're heaten, one
was shot in the leg, every one stoned,
bOycotted or hung in effigy.
Ramifications of the Boycott.
One school teacher testified having
lost his position because his father did
not strike. One man was asked to re-
sign from a Roman Catholic temper
ance society, and another witness was
expelled from a local lodge of the An
cient Order of HibernianS, after
membership Of twenty-SiX or twenty
eight years, because they We're claSSed
as unfair workmen. Joseph II. Dugan,
the man who was requested to give
up his membership in the temperance
society, remained at work doing re-
pair work and acting as a watchman.
He wept while on the witness stand
as he told of how they ordered him
to leave after many years of pleasant
social relations with its members.
They Used His Own Tackles on Him.
He was active in the society. and
drilled many of these who have grown
to manhood III the military branch of
the society. He said he had been stoned
and otherwise badly treated. and add
ed that good clubbing would not
have hurt half as much as the ac-
ton of the society in throwing him
out of the order. The boys he had
drilled in the society stoned him on
the highway, and when he displayed
his revolver they all dropped fiat on
the road. c. s. Darrow. for the min
ers, asked the witness if lie thought
the union taught them that, to which
the witness replied that he. as captain
of the military company of the so
ciety had taught the boys the military
tactics which they reSorted TO when
he flouriShed his pistol.

LEONARD WOODS PAY ROOT SAYS IT IS NO CONCERN
 OF CONGRESS. Democrats Recite Provision That No Army ofi~., Shall Receive Emolument in Addition
 to Salary.

Washington June GA letter from the Sec retary of War was submitted today by Chair man Hull of the House committee adverse to the resolution of MT. Bartlett of Georgia, ask ing for information to the compensation paid General Leonard 4. Wood while Govern or-General of Cuba. Secretary Root states eIal Brooke out of the revenue of Cuba of S7,500 a year and continued:
 There has been no change since that time except that when General Woods commission as mator-general of volunteers expired l made an order for further allowance equal to the difference between the salary of Maj Gen total compensation at the same figure, the com bined compensation received an officer of the army and as Governor of Cuba being al ways 900 per annum. I that the Cuban Cabinet has voted that President Palma s salary shall be S25. .000''
 Secretary Root says this has been made and neither house has made any objection.
 Secretary Root in his letter as to the legal phase of the subject:
 ''I should hardly suppose that the House of Representatives would wish to adopt a reso- lution which implied ignorance on it's part of the authority of the President of the United States under the law of military campaigns to appropriate and expend the revenues of the Government of the occupied country"
 The majority of the committee reported against consideration of the resolution.
 Five of the Democratic members of the m,li- tary committee unite in a minority report which says In part
 General Wood is an officer Of the United States Army and as such officer was Gov the United States forces in Cuba. His pay and emoluments Of office were fixed by statute as an officer of the Tinted States Government The pay of a Brigadier- General of the Army is fixed by statute al s5.5o0 per annum and 10 per cent thereof for serving beyond the limits of the United States.
 The report then cites the provision of the law that no allowance shall be made to of hcers in addition to their pay.

 Contrary to expectations. the leading
 producers maintained their conservative
 position by making mo advance in the

 notwithstanding the material rise that

 business has been placed during the past
 K, ficu,ty in booking orders for delivery in 191. This is especially noticeable as to structural material and railway supplies. Interruption of work at blast furnaces was not wholly averted. but the loss in output did not reach large figure owing to prompt concessions on both sides. Practically no orders were accepted for pig iron. however. owing to the uncer- tainty as to the extent of the strike.
