RESUMES ITS STRINGS.
Coal Strike Commission in Session at
philadelphia.

szssg$; <5TniIdOSiPflla. ~.
Philadel phia, Jan. twenty-five
men, all hut one OF whom were EN-.
ployed in and about the coal mines,
appeared before the anthracite coal
strike commission at it's first session
here during the day, and recited the
.oft-told tales of persecution they and
others underwent during the late coal
strike because they chose to work
rather than join the strikers. The sin
gle exception was Charles H. Schadt
of Scranton, the sheriff of Lackawanna
county, and his presence on the stand
under the crOss-examination of Presi-
dent John Mitchell of the miners
union proved to be the principal fea-
ture of the days proceedings. When
the commission adjourned at Scranton
the Saturday before Christmas for the
holidays, the attorneys for the non
union men, who are a party before the
commission (they having asked for an
increase in wages and protection
against discrimination by the union)
were engaged in presenting witnesses
to prove that reign of terror existed
in the coal regions during the period
of the strike. Seventy-four witnesses
had been called to prove this, and
when the commission began it's ses-
sions in the United States circuit court
room in the federal building here dur
ing the day, Attorneys Joseph O'Brien
OF Scranton and John T. Lenahan of
Wilkesbarre, representing the non
union men, resumed the calling of
their witnesses. Sheriff Schadt was
the second witness called.

Mr.. Knox suggests legislation direct.

should be given the power to restrain
such transportation. He says the

an opinion given during the day, de-
clined to grant a temporary Injunction
in the suit brought by State Insurance
Superintendent Yates to restrain the
twenty fire insurance companies and
their agents from doing business in

Mr.. HoARz MAKES a NOTABLE
SPEECH ON HIS MEASURE IN
i THE SENATE.
FEELING OF INSECURITY
Maintains That All Thoughtful Men
Are Agreed Some Legislation is
Necessary for the Control OF Large
Masses of Senator. Vest
Calls Attention to the Distress Re-
sulting From the Shortage in Coal.

Washington, JAM. The day in the
senate was eventful because of a
notable speech by Senator Hoar on his
Dill regulating trusts and an attack
by Senator Vest on protected indus.
tries through the operation of the
Dlngley law. Senator Hoars utter
ances were listened to with marked
attention. He said that nearly all
thoughtful men in this country are
agreed that some legislation, state or
national, ought to be had for the regu.
latlon and control of what are called
trusts and of large masses of capital
accumulated by corporations or arti-
hclat persons holding property and
conducting business without, individ-
ual liability. There was, he said. a
general feeling of insecurity and
alarm about the matter and we were
dealing with a real peril and not with
a fancy or an imaginary danger. He
argued that if his bill should become
law and prove effective no corporation
engaging in the commerce which is
within the jurisdiction of congress can
keep it's condition a secret. The bill,
he said, depends for it's validity on
the constitutional: power of congress
to regulate International and interstate
commerce. Should the bill not prove
efectual he contended that it would
be easy to extend it's operation by i'm
posing like personal liability on every
stakeholder. --* -
Senator Vest used as a text: for his
remarks his resolution introduced
Monday instructing the committee on
hnance to prepare and report a bill
removing the duty on coal. Feeble in
the extreme and supporting himself
on his desk, he called attention to the
condition of distress which had arisen
as result of the shortage in the coal
supply. There was breathless silence
in the chamber as he spoke to catch
his words. He said that the question
was no longer a partisan one, but one
OF humanity and that we are not on
the verge of crisis but actually in it.
He charged the Republican senators
with being silent and dumb to the
state of affairs, having only in mind
the party cry, "stand pat" He char
acterized the Dingley tariff act as a
sacred elephant with which nothing
was to be DONE" He sarcasticalys re-
marked that if the question. was, tQne
of raising money for the next presi-
Dental campaign that was an end of
the discussion.
Mr.. Aldrich took exception to some
of Mr.. Vests statements and at his
request the resolution went over. -
At 4:30 the senate adjourned after a
brief executive session.
