Wages Made-Gen. Wilson Express
ed Hope of Agreement.

Philadelphia, Jan. 12.-Brigadier-
General Wilson again presided at to-

strike commission on account of
Chairman Gray still being ILL.,
Abel 1. Culver testified today that
the wage statements handed in on
Saturday are final and that the min
ers' representatives have agreed that
they are a fair presentation of the
case.
General Wilson hoped that the rep
resentatives of the other companies
would be able to arrive at some un-
derstanding with the miners in the
presentation of statement as the
Hudson Co. had done.
George Anderson. a clerk in the coal
department of the Delaware & Hudson
Co., submitted, a statement showing
| that 1888 of 1928 employees had been
in the employment of the company
from ten to sixty years. He told Of
the working of the relief fund and
said that since the strike the miners
had lost 110 days at twenty-eight diff
ferent collieries, thus reducing the
92,561 tons. He said that he got his
information about the time. from the
foremen of the mines.
He said that the company had raised
the price of coal fifty cents after the
strike had ended, and so far as he
knew that price was still maintained
The company was selling coal at
tide water at SIS per ton for the pre-
pared sizes. The company selfish it to
what he termed middlemen. He had
no information as to what prices the
middlemen were getting.
It was decided to have Thomas Tod
rey of New York, general sales agent
of the company, testify as to the coal
sales of the company, and he was
summoned by telegraph.

Railroads Must Show How
They Have Handled Coal.
BIG COAL PILES FOUND
Claimed That Cars Have Been Side
: tracked With Instructions to Hold
consisnments-speciaI Grand Jury
Summoned in Chicago.

Chicago, Jan. 12.-The special grand
jury which has been called to investi-
gate the conditions responsible for the
coal famine, continued today to hear
evidence which the attorney general
and states attorney hare secured
against the coal operators and the big
dealers. 1t is said that the investiga-
tors have discovered trains of coal
cars side tracked and placarded with
instructions to freight crews to hold
hundreds of tons of coal have been tae
ken from the cars and heaped up along
the tracks: Attorney General Hamlin
not be confined to Chicago, but would
reach out so as to take up the condi-
tions throughout the state.
| Seek to Prove Manipulation.
| The, railway men will be asked to
bring reports Of the movement of coal
on tracks for the last two or three
months. One of the principal things
which it Is hoped to show from their
| testimony is the prevalence of the
practice of billing loaded coal cars to
Chicago marked "hold" and leaving
them in the outer storage yards for a
week or more while the price of coal
| is being run up in the free market.
The reports of the railroad men are
| to be in detail. In this way il will be
shown Just how many cars each firm
has had "cornered" during the famine
period and how many times the said
cars have been passed from hand to
hand in the manipulation of the mar
ket.
Where Coal is Hoarded.
The investigators have reported that
the Michigan Central is holding 1900
carloads of coal at Wildwood, while
along the tracks at the same place is
a pile of coal said to be "as big as a
house." The investigators could not
learn who owns the cars or the pile.
AT Dolton, so the reports come in,
there are fully 5000 cars of coal,
while on short cutoff line running
tast from Dolton are said to be 1000
loaded coal cars.
In the yards of the Illinois Central
there are said to be 900 cars, but from
this stock about so per cent is brought
into the city every day, as the dealers
are not allowed to delay cars in tran
sit more than three days.
/ In the Rock Island yards at Blue
/ Island only forty cars were counted.
