THEIR SIDE PRESENTED TO
STRIKE COMMISSION.

Refusal of the Company 90 Re-omploy
Thirteen Mem-ACcused Of Criminal
Their GuiIt-Care of Stck-Compamy
Store System-Evicti0ns.
Philadelphia, Jan. 26.-The attention
Of the anthracite coal strike commits
sion was to-day directed to the claims
and charges of the independent opera
tors, the first case presented being that
Of G.. B. Marlzle & Co., whose collieries
are located in and about Jeddo, in the
Lehigh region. Ten witnesses for the
company were examined, the more i'm
portant being Sidney Williams, general
superintendent of the firm; Gertrude
Martin, professional nurse in the en-
plyo of the company, and Frank Walk,
general storekeeper ia Jeddo.
superintendent Williams testimony
was based upon the company's answer
to the miners demands. He was sub
jected to rigid cross examination by
Attorney Darrow for the miners union
and was compelled tor admit that al
though thirteen men were refused re-
employment by the company for al
legged criminal acts during the recent
strike, he had no knowledge that any
one of them had ever been guilty of a
criminal action.
Miss Martin was a good witness for
the company. She told of the efforts
of Mr.. and Mrs. Markle to properly
care for the sick employees and stated
that where cases of necessity were dis
covered patients We're furnished with
medicines and nourishing food free of
charge.
Frank Walk described the operations
of the credit or company store sys-
tenn. The prices of articles, he said,
were about the same as those charged
by other dealers but admitted that
none other than employees Of the COM
pany were given credit. He stated al
so that after the company store system
had been abolished and he had resorted
to the cash basis he lost two-thirds of
his custom.
Superintendent Williams said he was
present at all the evictions. None of
the tenants, he said, had paid any rent
during the progress of the strike. He
was asked if he had observed any cases
of illness among the families who were
compelled to leave their homes and re-
piled in the negative. In one or two
cases, witness continued, the sheriff
asked an extension of few hours to
permit the families to search for an
other dwelling. Counsel for the COM
pany had, however, advised against
this course as he believed to be a ruse
to obstruct the legal course.
