THE NEXT WITNESS NOT SO FORTUNATE! ! THE REVEREND PETER ROBERTS, WHO WROTE A BOOK, FINDS QUOTATIONS FROM ITS PAGES RATHER EMBARRASSING. Scranton, Pa., Nov. 19. The anthra cite strike commission resumed its hearing today with the usual large crowd in tne court; room. Before W. W. Ross, for the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western road, resumed hia cross-examination of President -Mitchell, Chairman Gray' for the com mission again asked counsel to assist in expediting the proceedings. He said the commission was loath to interfere, but they hoped that Mr. Mitchell would not be asked to give his opinion of matters of which he had not personal knowl edge. Mr. Mitchell, answering questions by Mr. Ross, said that' an increase in wages without adapting the weighing systean would not meet the demands of the miners. An eight hour day would increase the annual income of the men. Mr. Ross analyzed the constitution of the Illinois branch of the United Mine Workers, with relation to its bearing on the contracts with the bituminous op erators have been unable to employ any man until he first joined. the union. When Mr. Ross concluded his exam ination, Mr. Mitchell was cross-exam ined by Former Congressman S. F. Wotverton, counsel for the Philadelphia & Reading Coal and Iron company. Mr. Mitchell said it would be impos sible for him to give in detail the con ditions at each mine, or even under each company. He also declared that it would neither be possible nor desira ble to divide the United Mine Workers Into two separate organizations, one bituminous and the other anthracite.

Torrey, of Scranton, repre senting the Delaware & Hudson, fol lowed with a number of inquiries on the subject of the riot that occurred at Shenandoah. Mr.Mdtchell was emphatic in saying that the reports sent out were grossly exaggerated and that but one life was lost. The sheriff's appeal to the gov ernor for aid, he said, was overdrawn. individual operators, who have , e present time, pressed - IulL efore the commission, through w of their attorneys. Ira B. Burns, of Scranton,- inquired of the commission if they would be-given the opportunity to examine witnesses when questions arise which are different with them than with the companies. Judge Gray answered that they would. ' Mr. Mitchell, in reply to Mr. Bums, said that when a man strikes he does not voluntarily give up his job, but he siriKes ior an improvement in tne con ditions of his job. If he wins, he gets uacK ine position, li ne loses ne goes back with his hat in his hand and asks for a job. JudsreGrav here interrupted to explain the understanding of the commission with respect to . returning to work of men vwho had been on strike. He said: "I think the understanding is that pending the consideration of the ques tions by this commission, the strikers were to return immediately to work and I think the further understanding is don't let me be misunderstood -that the non-union men .should not be interfered with nor displaced from employment generally by the return of the union men." Mr. Burns was examining the witness regarding unlawful acts committed, dur ing the strike, and had asked Mr. Mitchell if he approved them, iwlfen Judge Gray stopped him and said that nothing could be gained by asking the question because the commission had a moral sense of its own which he pre sumed agreed with the moral sense of the community and society. Mr. Mitch ell declared, with emphasis, in the course of subsequent examination that the miners will carry out to the letter the decision of the commission "Or go out of our union." Judge Gray then announced the de- ision of the committee in the matter of application of J. T. Lenahan and J, T. O'Brien, attorneys for the non-union men to appear in the case. In the light of all their claims, said Judge Gray, they would be allowed to appear, but the commission could not consertt to the withholding from the (public the namocs rt-f 4-Vi o nnnnni -xt-i mon acs fVioit attorneys had desired.

"Whether they be here in that way or not," Judge Gray quickly replied, 'they represent an important element lu t.ne15in,vestl&a"on. men wo'V?r their living and who are interested in the findings of this commission. We have considered that very carefully from all sides." He then directed the attention of i counseWor the independent coal oper ators that the answers to Mr. Mitchell's demands had not been signed.

President Roose velt and party arrived in the city this morning promptly at 9 o'clock from Smedes, Miss., on a special train over the Yazoo & Mississippi "Valley rail road. The journey from Smedes was devoid of special incident. The presi dent, upon his arrival here was given an enthusiastic demonstration when he alighted from his car at the Union de pot, was met by a large delega tion of representative citizens . with bands and escorts of police officers and detectives in plain clothes. The local committee desired General, Wright to await the president's coming at the Gayoso hotel tout General Wright vetoed the arrangement and was the first to errasD the Dresident's hand he 6tepped from the train.

The parade ended at the Hotel Gay oso, where the party alighted and an informal reception was given. Several hundred citizens shook hands with the president. General Wright, who ar rived in his native city last night, was also cordially greeted. After the re ception President Roosevelt retired to his room for a short rest. The program arranged for the day was very elaborate.

He made several speeches during his stay but the prin cipal one was that at the banquet to night at Peabody hotel to Vice-Gov- cxiior wrignt or the Philippines. The president d&n&r-a l tut-hi.. - ernor Wright were the : heroTs of occasion. They were enthusiastically and repeatedly cheered. The president was given an ovation when he rose to speak, and it was some time before he could proceed with his remarks. The banquet ended the day's ceremo ny and shortly after its conclusion the president boarded a train on the South ern Railway en route for Washington. He will go by way of Chattanooga and Asnevaue, arriving in Washington tomorrow morning. In the course of a speech at the auditorium this afternoon Roosevelt congratulated his hearers on ,the fact mat me country is united and they are all one people. He said the meories of the civil war were now heritages of honor alike for those whose fathers wore the blue and those whose fathers wore the gray. He declared his moth er s brother served in the Confederate navy under the father of-Mrs. General Wright, the wife of the man they hon- ored today. His remarks were tumul- tuously cheered.
