SCRANTON PA, December Az
to-Gay's sessions of the anthracite str1ha
Combustion, the representatives OF the
nine workers continued TO call wit
nesses. mostly practical miners. who
told their story OF lne conditions as they
exist in the Hazeton or Middle coal
feds.
The miners tried to show by these
| witnesses that the Coke and other COM
panies had violated the agreement enter
7 ed into by both sides wien the conmis-
sion was appointed that the strrAe1s
should return TO work, and be gwen
their old positions where they had not
already been filed.
The commission has decided 70 invite
the mine Inspectors to appear |ffbrs
them. because the miners ci<-lm thai the
worhmen fear to inform the TiEe IN
spectors of dangerous or unhealthy
places IN the mines. because the inspec-
tors are usually accompanied by some
representative OF the company who may
cause the mans dismissal.
RuInors OF possible negotiations toward
a settlement outside the commission
continue to be heard Lawyers admit
they have heard such rumors. BIT sly
they know nothing about :. possible set
tIemeut.
The opinion sttll prevails here, and
rather strongly, too. that the operators
and miners will agree on most points
before the commission concludes It's
hearings.
Jackson AnsbacII, OF the Eazleton re-

witnesses. because he is the first fire.

HON JORDAN

Upstate Member Would Amend
Oyster Laws.
He INTRODUCES TWO BILLS
One is to Protect Seed Oysters in the
James River, and Other to Amend
Present Cu'Iing Laws-Mr.
Jordan Talks on Subject.

Hon. E. c. Jordan, of Frederick, is an
upstate member of the Legislature. who

done during the five years he has been
In the Hose,
Mr.. Jordan on yesterday offered two
companion bills designed 10 protect seed
the present culiing laws of the State.
In discussing the subject last n.gnt Mr..
JORDAN sad:
1.-THE bill providing for the protection Of
seed oys,ers in the James kiver, above
Days Point, is necessity of long stand
ing to the oyster industry of the Sta.e,
and If adopted and put into effect, will
be boon to those interested. The seed
beds have been reduced and exhausted
all over the State, until 1t is impo BILE
for the Planter to get enough SEED; as
this is the only seed bed prouuciEg, eA-
cept few little ones on the Eas -trn
Shore, it should be p.o eoted and fLs-
tel ed for the planters. This bed once pro-
duced seed for everybody. and Virg ma,
too. 1 put Virginia last, because her
painters were not served until all ti,e
aliens got their boa.,s loaded and depart ted
from our waters, though the pla~ tee vas

what our seeds did for them. This bill
makes very short season for catching
o. sters on these beds, but it will be .ong
enough for the oys ernen to get all that
will be there. If the law had b, en- n
effect and force this fall it would have
been worth millions of dollars to o r
oyster planters. as there was the grs at
est strike of spot Cor young oyst rs IN
many years, yet it was all deStr ysd for
lack Of proper restriction and authori y.
This bed should be extended and put un-
der the most rigid supervision for lis
protection.
TO COMPEL LICENSE.
at will compel the oyateru.en to get q
license from the inspectors on the ground
when they are going to work. This will

Piled with the law.
AMEND CULLING LAWS.
The bill amending and re-enacting toe
dependent section eleven is a neces-
sty Of long standing; it makes the oys-
ternan Gull on the ground where the
o:ste. d are caught. instead of carrying
them until bushels are accumulated. and
thsn dump them where they will be of
10 service as catch for spot. There is no
rover to make an FISHERMAN Gull now.
This act will prohibit the oystermen
from esca ping justice when the inspec-
