 Employes of the Gaylord mine Of the Delaware and Hudson Company at Ply mouth testified that owing to a change in the working of the chambers in that mine. they had to do additional work without extra pay.
 Two driver bosses employed by the same company complained that they had not received the back pay awarded by the strike committee. The company ofii- cIaIs said that as bosses they did not come under the award made by the com mission.
 Runners at the Delaware and Hudson mines claim the company had three wage scales and that there was discr1mina- tion in the wages paid. The company min CTS employed at Dunmore stated that they had been receiving 10 a day for eight hours work. but were asked to work nine hours for the same wages.

KICKS ON HE CORNERS
PRESIDENT WALMsLEY SAYS
 THEY ARE BANEFUL.
President of the New England Cot ton Manufacturers' Association Draws c Lesson from Re-
 cent Speculative Events.

Lenox, Mass, Sept. 2s.-A three days conference of the New England Cotton Manufacturers Association begun here today with more than 150 members pres ent President walmsley in his annual address urged the young men in the Ass sociation to come to the front and as- sume their share in the work of organiza- ton. He referred to the unsatisfactory condition of the cotton trade at present one of the most s6zzIFslsk sseFaods eyer ex- perienced. Continuing he said:
 Tt is a deplorable circumstance that the pernicious practice of cornering such a necessary staple as cotton should be possible, demoralizing and paralyzing for the time being an industry of such im- mense wealth to industry and the nation as that of cotton manufacturing, throw ing out of employment and reducing to the verge of starvation the thousands of families whose very existence is depend ent upon the continued and steady oper- ation of the factory where they find em- ployment. The baneful influence of this speculative manipulation of cotton is a matter for serious concern and for which there can be no Justification whatsoever.
 'The force of these considerations should surely be sufficient to Justify some concerted and united action towards putt ting a stop to the gambling operations which infiict such widespread suffering and injury upon so many and such im- portant interests"
 In referring to cotton manufacturing in the South MT. Walmsley said:
 We warmly congratulate the South on the great development of it's natural and industrial resources. There is surely am pie room for both North and South. The supremacy of cotton manufacturing in New England, in my opinion, will con- tinue to be unassailable."
 Following the Presidents address pa- pers were read on various technical sub jects.
