Say influence Of Union Restricts Coz;
Production.
Philadelphia. Jan. 19. - More mine
officials yesterday informed the coal
strike commissioners that under the
influence of the union the minework-
ers restricted the production OF an
thracite coal and interfered with the
discipline of the employees. The Erie
company closed Its case early In the
day after calling a physician, who tes-
tilted to the good health of the mine
workers. The Scranton Coal com.
pany, which operates. besides its own
collieries, the Elk Hill Coal and Iron
company's mines, then took up the at
tack on the demands OF the miners.
The Scranton and the Elk Tfll compa-
mics turn their coal over TO the New
York, Ontario & Western railroad,
which virtually controls them. The
witnesses called yesterday testified
generally that no blacklist existed;
that the contract miners worked on an
average of from six to seven hours a
day; that the local unions compelled
the men to load an equal number of
thus restricting the output; that
the men were careless In obeying or
ders, and that frequent petty strikes
occurred whenever a union man was
dismissed for INSTRUMENTATION.
