JOHN MITCHELL DID NOT
LIKE WHAT GRAY SAID
A Parry of Words Between Miners'
President and Commissioner
Created a Little Stir.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. S.-The prln
clpal feature of the hearing before the
coal strike commission today was the
exception taken by President Mitchell
to the remark made by Chairman Gray
that he would like to see the miners'
union come up out of the mines, that
clung around the baser part of it, into
the sunlight.
The miners' president said the dnion
should not be Indicted unless a connec
tion should be shown between It and
the acts of lawlessness. The head
of the commission replied that he did
not wish to Indict the organisation,
but hoped It would disentangle Itself,
especially from violence and lawless
ness committed during the strike. The
Incident came suddenly w hile a witness
was upon the stand and caused uite
stir among the lawyers on both sides
of the controversy.
Outside of this the entire day was
taken up in hearing the stories of non
union men or their relatives, of alleg
ed persecutions during the period of
the strike.
