HIS FIRST ENGAGEMENT.

Cross-examined by Mr.. Humphreys
witness relaced what he said was the
gist of an interview with Judge Hum
phreys ar his chambers, when the lat
ter white still on the bench had sent
for KIM and put him in the way of an
engagement by the Ellises; Humphreys
while on the bench never discussed the
case with him; had looked over dates
the other day and was still puzzled
about what took place, and who were
present in his room in the Boston
building when matters between Sumner
and the Ellises We're discussed
Mr.. Humphreys here reeled off a
score or more of questions without
pause for answers, at the conclusion
of the series asking if with his mem

negotiations at the time and place
mentioned. He thought on Summers
behalf they, suggested 100000 as the
price the railway should pay; identi-

PHILLIPS IDEA OF THE MIN
ERs' UNION.
Chairman Gray Also Thinks That
Body's Actions Should Be Deter
mined Only by Mature Minds.
Coal Inquiry.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 19.--The examination
of. Colonel X. A. Phillips OF Scranton,
general superintendent OF the mining DE-
partment OF the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western Railroad Company, took up
the greater part of today's session OF the
coal strike commission. Superintendent
Phillips told of the condition in and about
the collieries owned by the LackaWanna
company. Like some of the other super
intendents who have testified. he believed
the men had a right to organize II they
wanted to, but no person who Is not
employed by the company had a right to
come In and tell the owners OF the com
pany what 1t should do.
Most of the Witnesses testimony was
along the same line as that already
given by other superintendents. he be-
lieyed that the Lacka wanna Company
was capable of carrying out its own nego-
tiations. Colonel Phillips went on to say
that the plan Of the organization would
have to be materially changed or the
union would not last long in the anthra-
cite fields. 1t would have ato eliminate
the boys, he said. who had a voice in
the organization. Each boy had half a
vote according TO the laws Of the union,
but he often cast full vote.
Chairman Gray interrupted to remark
that an organization like the miners
union should be composed of mature
minds.
In reply TO Commissioner Clark. the
witness said he personally thought the
men could bring In third party to arhi-
trate in case the employees and the COM
pany failed TO agree on some disputed
points.
Colonel Philips said there were more
cases of insubordination among the men
now than there were prior to the strike
of 1900. The minimum wages Of inside
IL borers who requires no skill he con-
tlnueA. was $l.7 a day and for outside
lsborers ti.2S.
Colonel Phillips in his examination in
chief testified that owing to the unions
restricting the cars n miner should load
the Miners were earning no more money
now than they earned before they secur-
ed the 10 per cent Increase two years
ago.
