UNION LEADERS, TYRANNY
DENOUNCED BY CHAIRMAN
GRAY AT STRIKE HEARING.
Declares He Hates Tyranny Whether
Practiced by Operator, Minor or Any
One Else One Man Called by the Oper-
ators Makes "a Good Witness for the
Minors


Minors
Philadelphia, Jan. 21.-The sessions
of the Goa! strike commission to-day
testimony. The feature of the session
was Chairman Gray's rather strong re-
marks in commenting on an incident
where District President Fahy of the
miners union would not grant per
mission during the strike to contrac-
tor to erect a boiler house at a colliery
which was necessary II preserve the
mine from damage. The president of
the commission said he hated tyranny
no matter whether it was practiced by
an operator; a miner or any one else.
John F. Murray, union miner in
the Dorrance colliery, was called and
before he left the stand he proved a
good witness for the striking miners.
When the commission made it's tour
of observation last fall it visited the
Dorrance mine and met Murray, who
was at that time president Of a local
union. He told the commissioners at
that time that he worked about seven
hours day. Subsequently allegations
were made against him by certain
union men that he had not told the
truth to the commission. Nothing,
however, came Of the matter.
On cross-eXamination Murray said
the company did not deliver enough
cars to the men and that the union had
no rule restricting the number Of cars
to be delivered to each miner The
witness said there would be trouble in
the anthracite regions so long as some
of the companies insist upon paying the
men by the car instead Of paying them
by weight. He asserted thaa the cars
are more like freight cars than mine
cars. The miners. he continued think
they hold mitch more than the two and
half tons the company claims they
hold.
At this point counsel for both sides
and the commissioners got into a dis
cussion on the advisabilty Of chang
ing the system of pay from car to
weight. Mr. Darrow said it had been
suggested that the miners be paid by
weight and that if the companies sales
of coal were in excess Of the tonnage
paid the miners then the latter should
be paid their share of the excess.
The commission then decided to de-
vote an entire day to the consideration
of the car and weight system.
S. D. Warriner of Wilkesbarre, gen
eral superintendent Of the Lehigh VAL
ley Coal company, testified that an
eight hour day would curtail the pro-
duction, and necessitate the opening Of
more colleries to meet the demand for
coal. He told Of the strike at the Malt
by colliery before the general strike.

Maraicaibo, Venezuela, Jan. 21.-Three
German war vessels, supposed to be the
Panther, Vineta and Fake, began she'll
ing the fort of San Carlos at 10:30
o'clock this morning. The fort returned
the fire. The engagement was in pro-
gress at 1 o'clock this afternoon.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press, in a rowboat, approached to
within three miles of the fort at noon.
The roar Of the guns was terrific. The
Panther appeared to be not more than
800 yards from the fort. Her guns were
being fired every minute. The fort
could not be seen from the clouds of
smoke but it was plain that the Vene-
zuelan gunners were answering the Ger
man fire splendidly and with great
rapidity.
At 1 o'clock in the afternoon an ex-
plosion occurred apparently in the fort
and a dense cloud Of smoke covered
part of the ramparts. A number of In
dian fishermen were intercepted fleeing
from the direction of the fort in their
dugout canoes. They reported that the
smoke seen was from the burning viii
lage of San Carlos, which had been
shelled by the German ships and was in
flames.
