COAL OPERATORS
WIN IN CONTENTION
Commission Excludes Evidence
Bearing on Profiteering and
Monopoly.
By Associated Press to Every Evening


Scranton, Pa. July I3.--Dr. w. O.
Thompson, chairman of the Anthracite
Mine Commission, at today's session
ruled that the commission is without
jurisdiction to admit anything TO the
record unless it has n direct bearing
upon the eighteen demands presented
by the United Mine Workers. This de-
cision confines the work OF the commits
sion to an adjudication Of the wages,
hours of employment and other matters
dealing directly with the working condi-
tions of the mine workers.
Today's action upheld the contention
Of the mine operators and prevented the
representatives of the workers from pre-
senting seven exhibits which they alleged
would tend to prove charges of monopo-
listic control of the anthracite industry
and profiteering by operators during the
last four years. The miners representative
had offered these charges through their
statistician and they had been extensively
argued Mt recent sessions Of the commits
sion. The body was appointed by Presi-
dent Wilson TO reconcile differences be-
tween mine operators and their employees
who have been for some months trying
to reach an agreement on points in dis
pute.
Whether appeal will be made to the
President as has been threatened by the
mine workers, should they lose their
contention, has not vet been determined.
Following the announcement OF the
commissions decision the operators,
through s. ID. Warriner, of the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation Company, com
menced the presentation of their side Of
the controversy.
