James Dunamulr gave his evldcnre be fife the Hallway Commission t Lndy- umlth and ts views niMpt-rtlng the Western Federation of Miners. He reviewed the labor troubles In his mines and reported that when any snch grievances" arose he had never refused to meet Home of the men. nnd would not now. but he objected to deal with any foreign union. The unions, lie con tended, were sucking the blood out of the mrn. He Intended to mnnaKe Ms own affairs. He mentioned the l-ad water supply, and the fact that coal borings were trending away towards I.idysmlth. Among other reasons for not having the town at Extension was that the ien f or years past knew they were to live at Ladysmlth, us the witness himself and his managers had told them so. He had certainly told a delegation that these men could live where they liked, but with the proviso that be need not em ploy them unless he liked, and that he Intended the townslte tij be at Ijtdy smlth. He had spent $40,000 on water works alone for that place; he had giv en 300 to start .a band and the first man serenaded was Baker. He said let the men keep their, agitators away and the witness would treat them all right If they came to him. A proposal was then Introduced by the men that a committee would like to confer with Mr. Dunamulr personally. Mr. Dunsmulr stated that he had not come up to Ladysmlth for that purpose, but only to give evidence. He distinctly refused to meet any committee representing unionism in any shape or form, but con. sented to meet a committee as repre sentative of Individual miners. ( - 4 a,v i f r J'..
