PACKERS NOT UNDER OATH
Matter OF Swearing to Statements
Given 10 Special Agents Was
Optional.

CHICAGO. Feb. 27.-Evidence was intro
duced by the government today to show
that the matter of testifying under oath
or not during the investigation conducted
by Commissioner Garfield had been left to
the packers themselves. 1t was claimed by
District Attorney Morrison that this proved
that the packers were not under compul-
sion when they gave their information to
the agents of the government.
The evidence relating TO the packers de-
clining to give evidence under oath was
submitted in the shape of a telegram from
Special Agent Durand to Commissioner
Garfield. in which it was said that A. II.
veeder counsel for Swift and Company,
and himself now under indictment in con-
nection with the case, had advised the
members of the firm of Swift and COM
pany not to give evidence under oath, as
II might iate- be used against them.
The examination of Commissioner Gar
field was concluded in the afternoon and
Special Agent Durand followed him on the
stand.
The greater part of Mr.. Durand's evil
dence today related to letters which passed
between him and Commissioner Garfield.

vice Of President Roosevelt. Francis l..
Robbins, leader of the btuminous oper-
ators has called conference of operators
for tomorrow in an endeavor to arrange
some means of preventing Il strike of the
bituminous coal miners.
The meeting of the operators tomorrow
promises to he stormy one. The turbulence
is expected to arise over the attitude of
some of the independent operators in the
Pttsburg district, who are opposed to any
concessions whatever. Several OF these
operators tonight expressed the intention
of being present at the meeting and enter
ing vigorous protest to any such conces-
sion as proposed. The opposition to grant
ing any advance In the miners wages is
said TO be based upon the TACT that the
coal trade today is in worse condition
than Il was two years ago when the miners
accepted a reduction. II there is to be any
change at all. the opposition claims that II
should be along lines OF further reductions
rather than for advances.

ment of the controversy between the soft
coal operators and miners. in which Presi-
dent Roosevelt has taken hand, indi-
Gated by his letter of yesterday. the ne
gotiations with the anthracite operators
have apparently been suspended. No meet
ing between the anthracite operators sub
committee and the miners subcommittee
will take place tomorrow. as has been an
nounced. and no other date has been ar
ranged. Ii is said by the operators that
President Mitchell will probably allow the
anthracite question to await settlement of
the bitunlinous controversy and that his de-
mands may be affected by the situation in
the soft coal field.

Tarsney of this city, a member of the
