FREE COAL BILL PASSES
(Continued from First Page )

l tCOnunued rom f1fSt iaSe.)
 1 before the coal strike commission, was
 attacked by the Erie company to-day in l it's contest against the claims of the 1 United Mine Workers of America. Gen.
 eral Superintendent W. A. May of the 1 HiIlsdale Coal and Iron company, and l the Pennsylvania Coal company, which are controlled by the Erie, was on the l witness stand for a long time to-day, and gave testimony tending to show ! that since the advent of the union into i the anthracite regions the Workmen 1 were less efficient, that lack of disci- pline has resulted, that it interfered with authority and limited the earning | capacity of the employees On cross-ex- animation MT. May said he thought that where the company and the men dis | agreed some good may result by calling
 in a third party. Other witnesses were called who cOrroborated much of Super intendent Mays testimony, Counsel for the Erie company, expect to conclude ! their case tomorrow afternoon. The 1 Delaware, T.ackawanna and Western company will follow the Erie.
 Chairman Gray is expected to attend to-morroWs sessions.
 Superintendent May was emphatic in saying that the employment of coal and iron policemen was most essential in time of strikes. The sheriff, he said, was unreliable and from his experience he found that deputy sheriffs, as q rule, sympathized with the strikers. He said the coal and iron policemen in the com IOD r NlnIr 1F The witness also said that had the region been free from terrorism he be- lieved the company would have been able to mine coal during the late strike, The company was making pro-
 gress last September when the terror ism prevented the company from going any further. Asked what this progress
 amounted to. he replied that the com- pany had secured from forty to fifty men out of 2,5OO to blow down coal. At this point Wayne MacVeagh ques- toned the witness regarding the weigh Ing of coal and the docking system. Captain May said the men were docked 1 Tor the purpose of discipline. and that i the company did not seek any advan-
 tage in having a docking boss. The dis
 cussion ended by C. S. Darrow, counsel
 for the miners, remarking th1t it seem
 ed that docking boss was quite neces- sary.
 The witness did not think that the 10 per cent. advance given the men two years ago was deserved but he has
 since changed his mind He did not think the advance asked for was req sonable and gave a non-committal an-
 swer when asked if he might change his mind again two years hence Superintendent May said he knew
 John Mitchell personally, but would object to meeting him as the agent of the mon in the employ of the FIrin com pany, because it would bring in an out

Edward E. Rice's Show Grip or '"The Magic Cap" which comes to the Hyperion tonight and tomorrow night, is one of the most satisfactory attractions which will visit our city this season.

She is a new conner in the comic opera field, and before long Miss Marguerite Knight will undoubtedly occupy the po- sition her talent calls for. The Show Girl" is described as "a jolly bit of tomfoolery." The book is by the author of those foremost successes such as "1492," Excelsior jr.," "The Girl from Paris" Little Christopher" etc. H. L.

 always ready to meet it's employees He asked that in case one of his own em- ployes gave up mining coal for the purpose of looking after the interests of the c0mpany's 5000 men, if he would meet him for the purpose of settling differences, and he replied that he was not prepared to answer the question. Subsequently, he said the company and the men could arrive at an understand ing without the assistance of an agent.
 Commissioner Clark asked the wit ness In case the two parties failed to agree if the men could call in an agent, and MT. May replied that he thought they could. He further said it might result in much good.
 The witness then submitted to d long cross examination on the amount of waste in the loaded mine car brought to the surface. He said it averaged about 21 per cent. MT. May admitted that some of the foremen of mines were sometimes overbearing, and concluded his testimony by stating that he thought $500 a year was fair Ameri- can living wage and that he would like to see all of his men earning at least that much.
 The first witness at the afternoon ses- sion was Alexander Bryden of Dun- more, mining engineer, who was for many years mine superintendent He gave expert testimony on the many improvements made in the company's mines in the last twenty years and gave history of the fixing of the so- called miners ton. He said the Penn sylvania Coal company gives all it's miners an opportunity to earn $350 a day. He corrOborated the testimony of Superintendent May regarding the lack of discipline since the miners union came into the field. and also said the earning capacity of the men is restrict ed by the organization.

 One of the most thoroughly interest ing song recitals ever given in this city was that at Harmonic hall at Ii o'clock yesterday morning, when Mrs. Franz Milcke, of Wallingford, introduced sev- eral of her pupils to New Haven au- dience.
 The recital was delightful surprise, inasmuch as the pupils sang with q freedom and breath control that is in ordinary in recitas of this kind. The technique and finesse displayed were tlattering commentaries on the teaching ability of Mrs. Milcke.
