If the miners union was powerful enough
to hold UP every mine in the anthracite re-
gion. it ought to have been powerful enough
10 prevent its members from committing
such outrages as are being testified TO by
nonunion miners before the ccal commits
sion. There can be no doubt that this testl-
uony is making a very unfavorable impress
sion on the commission, and on the public

union did not openly encourage the use OF
force TO keep men from working. II shut its
eyes when force was used and never at
tempted to discipline those who used il.

terror existed In the coal regions Mr.. Mitch
ell denounced them as slanderers and falsi-
fiers, but the testimony before the commits
sion is fast showing that either Mr.. Mitch
ell did not know what was going on I'm the
coal fields or else that he was not truthful
when he denied the allegation of the OPP
orators.
