Almost tha otire time of the day'a sessions of the coal strike coiuniiaaiou was taken up bv the mine workers in preentiag their side of the controversy with (k H. Markte A Co., In the llazletou region The miners placed wit tie sei on the stund who gave testimony to show that the company refused to employe them be-uuse tl.cy belonged to the union; had evicted them front their houses for the same cause: that the docking system was intolerable; that the question of the im-u getting the ten per cent, in wages grantee1 as n result of the 1900 strike is muck In doubt, because the men do in 4 know how the company is figoiing it out; that the price in powder, w Ine enters into the cotnpuCiCon of the Increase, haa been raised, ard that the size of the mine car hns i creased, but the wages have ant. Two Hungarian women, one f them the another of the boy wh.i testifies! on Saturday, were placed on the stand, snd told how the Markt; OOtopaMJ dedinted house rent fron the IaM wages of their husbnnd-, who were killed in the mines, an 1 Low he eonspa iv attempted to get thr t sign a pofer which would absdve l.e Markles from damages for tin- ueatfe ot the men.

There was a flurry at the after nofn mission when Lawyer Ira IL Hums, of Scranton, for the independent companies, referred to the president of the United States u "Teddy Roosevelt." The remark brought out an emphatic objection from Brif.-Gen, Wilson, nnd the general was sustained by Chairman tiray. The commissioners made a riot he reqoeM on the companies to present figures as quickly as no1 -able, and a s result the Erie company, late ia the day, submitted statistics regarding wages, hours and other data re lating to the subject. The data made quite a large bundle. The powder question came before the commission at the afternoon1 BM alon, and caused considerable discussion, and when it was over the com missioners knew little more about the Intricacies of the question than they did lie fore. It was brought about by Commissioner Clark asking for the recall of Paul Dunleavy, n Markle rat ncr, who had testified at the morning aession.
