ANTHRACITE STRIFE afsRIaG.
Chairman Gray Admonishes Lawyer
barrow to be Less Severe in Criti-
cisms of Witness Statements.

Philadelphia, Feb. 5.-Several in
teresting incidents occurred during
yesterdays session Of the anthracite
coal strike commission. Tie morn.
ing session was enlivened by the
rigid REORGANIZATION of II. d. New.
comb, a statistician Of the Reading
company, by Attorney barrow, for
the miners, and the spirited passage
between the lawyer and the witness.
Several times Chairman Gray felt inn
PEELED to interfere on behalf of the
witness, admonishing seounse1 to be
less severe in his criticism of Mr..
Newcomb's statements and figures.
AT the afternoon session counsel
for the operators intimated that the
other side was endeavoring to break
It's agreement with the operators re-
garding the basis of percentage in ar
irving at definite conclusion as to
the earnings of the contract miners.
Numerous witnesses have testified
that the operators statements pre-
sented to the commission show only
the gross earnings of the contra ct
division of the money with the help
ers. CounseI for the companies adj
mitted that the books accounted for
the wages paid to the contract min
ers only, as the helpers were paid by
the miners. This fact having been
previously stated before the commits
sion and an agreement having been
reached by both sides as to the man
ner of making deductions in order %
learn as near as possible the actual
earnings of the miners, the operators
counsel characterized as farcical the
calling Of so many witnesses to at
tack the companies figures.
Dr. Charles D. Neill, assistant re-
corder Of the commission, was asked
by Chairman Gray to state the agre9-
ment, and at the conclusion of DR..
NeilFs statement the chairman said
the parties to the controversy could
not make agreements which would
necessarily be acceptable to the COM
mission, although the intention was
clearly for the purpose of facilitating
the investigation. Chairman Gray de-
cided that the miners were entitled to
produce witnesses to elucidate the OPP
orators figures. The miners expect
tc conclude their evidence today.
The testimony of miners employed By
the Delaware. Lackawanna and West
ern, the Pennsylvania Coal company
and the Temple Iron company occu-
pied much of the time of yesterdays
sessions.
