ANTHRACITE COMMISSION TO
EXPEDITE A SETTLEMENT
Examination of Non-union Witnesses
Resumed Today Woman Proved
to Be a Strong Witness.
Philadelphia, P., Jan. 8. Tho an
thraclte commission this morning an
pounced that It would run long ses
Eions hereafter to expedite a settle,
ment.
The examination of non-union men
and famillos, who suffered abuse was
resumed today. One woman testified
how, while with her husband she
was walking the streets of Silver
Creek, her husband had been assault
ed by the strikers, knocked down and
beaten. When she attempted to pro
tect him, she was also abused.
Another woman told of her house
being stoned. She recognized as the
leader of the assailants her brother-in-law,
who was president of the lo
cal union of nuue workers. She went
out with a gun and made the crowd
disperse and told the relative what
she thought of htm.
She proved to be one of the strong,
est witnesses for the non-unionists
as the cross-examination wanted to
shake her testimony Involving the
men who -were known to be union
leaders.
Mitchell was asked by Attorney
Lanhan whether the three men con
victed of the murder of Daniel Zeney
were members of the union or not.
He Bald: "I asked you once before,
and you promised to Investigate. Did
you?"
Assisted Non-Union Men.
Mitchell said: "Yes," and I found
that they were not members in good
standing, having fallod to pay thelrJ
uues lur me inreu iuuuuih prior iu
the beginning of the strike." He ad
mitted the possibility that they re
ceived aid from the union relief fund
and said many of the non-union men
did likewise, if they struck.
Tho attorney said: "Can you name
one such man?"
Mitchell said: "I can furnish a list
Involving $30,000." Mitchell was then
excused.
Ferguson, a witness, told of being
assailed by union men and' of having
secured the conviction of his assail
ants. A Lame Answer.
Clarence GInley, a member of the
minors' union executive boards, was
called and asked whether the union
trade any attempt to discipline tho
rioters belonging to its ranks.
He made a lame answer, evading
the point. Gray Interrupted and said,
"In a riot, where the deputy sheriff
had been killed and this man vas
battered, wna there none among your
ranks to cry shame or to raise an
arm or Voice In defense of law and
order? I want the mine workers to
raise themselves out ot this mire
which" suspicion engenders."
Mitchell jumped to his feet and
said: "Don't heap this outlawry on
the union."
No effort has becrr made to show
any legal connection of the rioters
with tho minors' organization. Mitch
