PITTSBURGH, Pa. November l.
All union miners in Western Pennsyl-
vania- and a great many non-union
miners were idle today. according to
reports received by Philip Murray.
president of district No. S, United
Mine Workers Of America.
The men responded to the order 100
per cent strong, said MI. Murray
and my Information is that a great
many non-union men came with them
rms is particularly true of the west
moreiand and Fayette county fields
Inere is now In my Office q committee
OF miners from a mine in Fayette
county, where 500 men are employed
ana they have told me that not only
their mine. but number of other
non-unlon mines are down."
In an answer to this statement ONE
rators declared that many non-union
men were not at work today because
this is a church holiday, and the
miners would not have been at work
in any event.
reports from the non-union mines
in the lower Allegheny valley were
to the effect that many mines were
working. Many of the country" mines
OF farantum and Breckenridge were
threatened with q water famine. as
the water plant serving both of these
places was almost without coal, and
drawn was closed.
No special arrangements were made
to police the strike country, although
sherins in q number Of counties in
creased their forces of deputies and
state police were out on patrol. Ope-
rators and men, however. expressed
the belief that there was little dan
ger of strike disorders.
Approximately 1900 miners in the
Pittsburgh district went on strike.
Most of the men walked out at 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon, it was
announced at district headquarters,

Philip Murray. president of district
No. S. held himself in readiness until
late hour last night for an eleventh
hour summons to Washington to par
ticipate in a reconvened conference
Of operators and miners representa-
tives in an attempt by the govern
ment to bring about an adjustment of
their differences. He said that such a
conference was highly probable and
that he and other members of the
interstate scale committee would be
ready to start for Washington at an
hours notice.
With the opening of the hunting
season today. operators said, thou
sands of miners who otherwise would
report for duty would be off. For tn is
reason, they say. effectiveness Of the
strike would not be known until Mon
day. or perhaps until after the gen.

narrowing description of an experi-
ment on a dog. just why this expert
ment was made. Mrs. Farrell was un-
able to give the reason, but promised
the committee with the information
later.
Senator Norris. chairman of the sub
committee, wanted to know whether
vlvisection is being practiced in the
District of Columbia, to which the bill
relates specifically, and asked Mrs.
Farrell TO give instances. She replied
that she did not have the information.
but suggested that the experiments
with chlorine gas on dogs had been
made either here or in Maryland.
But we don't mention those expert
ments." she added. because they were
said to have been for the benefit OF
our soldiers."
Mr.. Hutchins suggested that the
committee could easily ascertain
whether Givisection of dogs is going
ON here by asking some of the physi-
clans who will appear
At one point the chairman asked If
MIS-. Farrell was opposed to yiyisec-
ton of dogs if they were properly
anesthetized- At first she replied that
she did not object. but later revised
this statement after Mrs Tryon had
pointed out, that the bill was to ex-
empt dogs entirely from vivisection.
Petitions Laid Before Committee.
Mrs. Farrell laid before the commit
tee many letters and petitions favor
ing the bill signed by governors of
states. members of the clergy and
physicians and the public generally.
Senator Norris asked il any of the
states have laws relating to yiyisec-
ton. Mrs Farrell replied that Maine
and Pennsylvania have laws prohibit
ing vivisection in the public schools.
Senator Norris wanted to know
whether IL it was wrong to expert
ment on live dogs, is it not wrong to
experiment on other live animals. Mr..
Hutchins and Mrs. Farrell both re-
piled that they would like to prohibit
vivisection of all animals, but that
they are working to exempt the dogs
first.
DIR. Hutchinson declared that the
question at issue was one OF cruelty,
and that the medical profession was
not a unit on vivisection.
Senator Norris asked IL the witness
though that the vivisection of dogs
had been helpful in dealing with the
ills of man.
Decidedly not" said DR.. Hutchin-
soc. at is false approach to the ills
of man"
He admitted, however, that expert
mehts on live animals may have been
helpful, but insisted that no direct
big advance had been made in the
practice of medicine through vivisec-
ton.
