He w^s still on the standwhen the com mission adjourned for the day. One of the ; mo3t important thing 3 brought out by' the cross-examination of President Mitchell, was his emphatic.dec laration that the miners were opposed .to separating the -bituminous miners.. from the anthracite workers, thus creating two organizations.';- He made this reply to a question from-: ex-Congressman Simon Wolverton. counsel for the Reading Com pany, asto whether, it would" not be bet-_ ter to have separate organizations. : Miners 1 Against Division. Mr. Mitchells' answer was that it would not be posaible or desirable. . "The an thracite mine ..worker have., had inde- | pendent organizations in the. past. They have had several. They have gone. They are not here now and the men do not want any more of their, organizations to go the same way." .' ... Commissioner Wright, as head of the Department of Labor,' in his : report to President Roosevelt, on the coal strike, dated! June 20th, suggested among other ! things as "reasonable and Just,"to pre vent industrial conflict- in the anthracite i fields, that" ~ the anthracite employees should organize an anthracite, coal miners' union, in- its' autonomy to-be, independent of the United Mine Workers of-America. b'ut that might be- affliatevl.with it.i There had" been some '". eosslp . among "-the jj 'small army ot c ; attorneys -at the hearings ;that the r commission^ might : possibly, suggest t such a ; " separate union,, and 'the fact.that Mr. ; Wolverton" touched" on 'the matter shows- that it Is being seriously thought of : in. -some. quarters. What, effect Mr. Mitchell's- declaration" wilP have on "the attitude of the commissioners . if- this phase of the labor question is taken -up by them, is, of course, not known. Non-Unlonists Jladc a Party. . The non-union men, that is, those "who remained at \york during, the strike, were made a party to the arbitration plan to day, by. their counsel -agreeing to make public the names of the 'men who petition ed the commission. When the attorneys for the non-striking ■ workingmen, as Chairman Gray designated them, and who numbered about 2,000, made a . demand to the commission for a 20 per cent, increase in -wages, with no reduction in hours, the attorneys desired to withhold the names of the persons they represented. .The com mission,- however, decided it could not bo a'party to such apian of secrecy. In con nection with the non-union feature of the Investigation, Mr. Mitcheil announced that he is representing thousands of non-union men, who struck with, the unionists, and that all the workmen would abide by the a ward: of the commission, or "get out of the union." Mr. Mitchell's testimony to-day con tained little that was 'new to the commis sioners, and that of Mr. Robertson was oi' a general character, regarding the eco nomic and social conditions in the anthra cite coal country. The commission, while regretting they have to do so,; are -still reminding both sides that they w uld like to have the submission of testimony ex pedited. Chairman ; Gray several" times during the day interrupted, and showed that the ground then being gone over had already been covered: It has been sug gested that counsel for both sides agree on rules for the submission of evidence, but nothing has been done toward that end. The Day's Examination. At the opening of to-day's "session. Mr. Mitchell' was -cross-examined briefly by W. W. Ross, of the Delaware. Lacka wanna" and Western; /Simon P. Wolver .ton, for the Philadelphia, Reading, and James H. Torrey,. representing the Dela ware and Hudson.
